The bus ride didn’t bother them.
Firing on all cylinders, the Coupeville High School JV volleyball squad shrugged off the 90-mile jaunt to Darrington Tuesday, crushing the Loggers in straight sets.
Winning 25-7, 25-11, 25-15, the young Wolves improve to 2-0 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 3-1 overall, with a home match against Orcas Island Thursday next up on the schedule.
For third-year head coach Ashley Menges, the night was a long one, but also a very rewarding one.
“It was a very cohesive night, with everyone doing their job and just playing clean, which is usually our goal each game,” she said.

With star hitter Madison McMillan sitting out the third set so she’d be eligible to play up to three frames in the varsity contest, Menges shuffled her lineup in the finale and got the same great results.
“We switched some things around and even then, everyone just did their job and helped each other through the confusion,” Menges said.
“All in all, it was a solid game and a solid three sets, and I’m very happy to see that so early into the season.”
