Willow Vick is part of a CHS varsity volleyball squad off to a 9-1 start.
Call it a palate cleanser before the main meal.
Having reached the halfway point of the league season a night before, the Coupeville High School varsity volleyball squad spent Thursday relaxing.
Sort of.
The Wolves were back on the floor less than 24 hours after beating Sultan, and this time they had to leave behind their home gym and travel across the waters to Port Townsend.
But it was also sort of relaxing, as the high-flying Coupeville spikers rolled to a quick ‘n easy non-conference win over the RedHawks, coming out on top 25-8, 25-4, 25-10.
The victory lifts the Wolves to a sparkling 9-1 on the season, and now they’ll have a couple days off to mentally and physically prepare for the second half of the conference schedule.
CHS, which is 4-1 in North Sound Conference action, a game off of first-place King’s (5-0) in the six-team league, travels twice next week.
The Wolves invade gyms at Cedar Park Christian Tuesday and South Whidbey Thursday.
The trip to Port Townsend gave CHS coach Cory Whitmore a chance to use every available player, with 11 of 12 varsity athletes hitting the floor.
Only Chelsea Prescott, who is recovering from an ankle injury, sat out the contest.
“It was a good outing tonight with a total team effort,” Whitmore said. “Good to follow up Sultan with a commanding win at Port Townsend.”
