The freshmen are on fire.
Sparked by their usual strong service game, the Coupeville High School C-Team volleyball squad continues to carve up opponents.
The victim Thursday was Granite Falls, which fell with a thud, losing 25-11, 25-15, 25-11 on its home court, savaged by the rampaging Wolves.
The win lifts CHS to 3-0 in North Sound Conference play, 4-0 overall.
Coupeville dominated play in all aspects of the game, but was especially hot when their servers were twirling the volleyball in their hands.
“Again, we played to our strengths and served a solid game,” Wolf coach Krimson Rector said. “As a team, we ended with over 20 aces to help bring us to another win.”
Ryanne Knoblich, Allie Lucero, and Vivian Farris paced the Wolves, firing up five aces apiece.
Adding to the team-wide effort at the stripe were Maya Lucero (three aces), and Gwen Gustafson and Jordyn Rogers, who recorded two each.
Gustafson added seven digs and two kills, while Knoblich (5), Jill Prince (5), Rogers (4), Maya Lucero (2), and Mercedes Kalwies-Anderson (1) sprayed kills left and right.
“I was proud of the girls for setting specific goals both personally and as a team before the game, and really working hard throughout the night to stay focused on those,” Rector said.
“I felt confident in the players that stepped on to the court tonight, and continually saw them working hard and striving to stay on top.”
While her team is flying high, there is still a large chunk of the season left to play, and Rector continues to preach improvement and growth.
“While I am proud of tonight’s play, I am excited to push them to dig even deeper,” she said. “These girls are full of potential and it’s exciting to see them get better with each game.
“We plan to continue in this positive direction.”
