They didn’t get an official swan song on court, so we’ll give them one in print.
The high-flying Coupeville High School C-Team volleyball spikers were denied a chance to play Monday when Sultan decided it didn’t have enough players.
So, a match early, the Wolves finish with a 7-2 record in North Sound Conference action, 8-2 overall.
Along the way, the all-freshman squad responded well to the teachings of first-year head coach Krimson Rector, routing most rivals.
The one team they couldn’t quite get past was private school power King’s, which handed them both of their losses.
The Wolves put the fear of God into the Knights, however, pushing both matches to a third and final set.
While Coupeville fought extremely hard when facing off with King’s, its biggest triumph came on the road at South Whidbey late in the season.
Trailing 24-12 in the third set, the Wolves fought off an eye-popping 12 straight match points thanks to pinpoint serving by Vivian Farris, before eventually winning 28-26.
That win captured the fab frosh and their coach at their best, refusing to back down and always on the prowl for a win.
The future for all involved? Pretty dang bright.
