Payton Aparicio was a busy bee Tuesday night.
The Coupeville High School senior capped a stellar volleyball career by copping two awards, team MVP and “Spirit of a Wolf,” at her team’s awards banquet.
The shindig brought a close to the most successful season in program history since 2004.
Guided by second-year coach Cory Whitmore, CHS won a record-tying 13 matches.
It also captured a second-straight Olympic League crown (while winning all 27 sets it played in conference), advancing to state for the first time in 13 seasons.
Sophomore swing player Maya Toomey-Stout joined Aparicio as a double winner, bringing home Most Improved (varsity) and Most Inspirational (JV).
Senior Lauren Rose picked up Most Inspirational for the varsity.
In awards previously announced, Hope Lodell was the Olympic League MVP, with Mikayla Elfrank, Katrina McGranahan and Rose tabbed as First-Team All-Conference picks.
Coupeville’s JV team, which went 12-1 under first-year head coach Chris Smith (falling only to 2A Port Angeles), honored Emma Mathusek as MVP.
Lucy Sandahl shared Most Inspirational with Toomey-Stout, while Maddie Vondrak earned Most Improved.
