The battle for Whidbey Island volleyball supremacy rages on.
At the high school level, Coupeville has dominated South Whidbey this season, while at the middle school level, the girls from Langley have gotten a bit of revenge.
Facing off for the second time this season Monday, Langley once again won two of three matches, but still couldn’t solve Coupeville’s big-serving #2 squad.
How the day played out in the CMS gym (based on what I gleaned from stat sheets, since I had a family commitment and couldn’t be there in person):
Level 1:
Coupeville put up its strongest fight in the first set, but was swept 25-14, 25-4, 15-6.
The loss drops the Wolves to 1-8 on the season, heading into the finale Tuesday at Lakewood.
Savina Wells paced CMS, racking up seven points off of her serve, while Grey Peabody backed her up with a five-spot.
Also scoring for the Wolves were Olivia Schaffeld (3), Mia Farris (3), Katie Marti (2), Chloe Marzocca (2), Lyla Stuurmans (1), and Taylor Brotemarkle (1).
Level 2:
Coupeville’s most-dangerous team rolled to a 25-18, 25-19 win, then dropped a third practice set 15-11.
With the season sweep of their next door neighbors, the Wolves clinch a winning season at 6-3.
Leading the way for CMS were Jada Heaton, who sparked her team to 16 points, Brionna Blouin (12), and Madison McMillan (10).
Chipping in to the team cause were Allison Nastali (5), Kaitlyn Leavell (5), Issabel Johnson (5), Laila Wenzel (3), Ava Mitten (3), and Aby Wood (2).
Level 3:
Like Coupeville’s #1 team, its #3 squad put together its best work in the first frame, before falling 25-11, 25-7, 15-5.
With the loss, the young Wolves sit at 1-8 headed into their finale.
Oktober Frost, owner of the best name in the volleyball biz, led the way with five points off of her serve, while Bailey Thule, Bryley Gilbert, Kaylee Clark, and Emma Garcia racked up three apiece.
Maryah Love (2), Jones Walther (1), Jackie Contreras (1), Kassidy Upchurch (1), and Gabriella Becktell (1) also scored for Coupeville.
