They’ll rest later.
Eight Coupeville girls spent Sunday and Monday taking part in the NW Juniors MLK Weekend Tournament at Shoreline College.
Three of those Wolves — Mia Farris, Jada Heaton, and Katie Marti — travelled to Neah Bay Saturday for a high school basketball game, then turned around and shot off to join their fellow spikers.
Topping things off, the trio played in four matches, then returned to Whidbey Island Monday in time to make it to basketball practice.
After their departure, the remaining eight members of the Whidbey Volleyball Club U18 squad played a final match, with the team finishing 3rd at the eight-team tourney.
The local spikers won two of three matches Sunday, and split their bouts Monday, playing 11 sets across five action-packed matches.
“There were some great sets, super exciting,” said mom Jennifer Marzocca.
Along with Marti, Farris, and Heaton, the U18 squad includes Coupeville’s Lucy Tenore, Grey Peabody, Taylor Brotemarkle, Chloe Marzocca, and Taygin Jump.
Wolf sophomore Madison McMillan is also on the team but was unable to make it to this event.
Rounding out the roster are four other players, led by Clara Juriaans of South Whidbey.
Oak Harbor is represented by Keira Newkirk, Alexia Sanchez, and Johanna Daggett.
