Savina Wells is embracing a bright future.

The former Coupeville supernova made a strong debut on the volleyball court in her new home this fall.

Now a sophomore at Fernandina Beach High School in Florida after a family move to the Sunshine State, Wells worked her way into the Pirates varsity lineup as the season progressed.

Joining a squad headlined by five seniors, she played 41 sets for Fernandina Beach’s top squad.

Wells peppered opponents with 29 kills, recorded 14 block assists, went low for 16 digs, dealt out three assists, and soared for two solo blocks.

A three-sport star during her Coupeville days, she helped the Pirates finish 20-6 on the season.

Fernandina Beach made it to the regional semifinals before falling to Bishop Kenny of Jacksonville, which went on to win the tourney and advance to Florida’s final four.

Growing up in Coupeville, Savina, the youngest of Lyle and Katy’s three talented children, played volleyball, basketball, and softball.

Following in the footsteps of Ulrik and Izzy, she played at the varsity level at CHS in all three of her sports as a freshman, while making her high school basketball debut as an 8th grader.
