Not even a hurt leg could slow her down.

Despite missing several games late in the season after a bad on-court fall, Mia Farris was the spark which lit the fire for the Coupeville High School varsity girls’ basketball squad.

That was born out Thursday, as Wolf coaches handed the junior sensation their MVP award.

Farris topped a busy night of honors, with fellow varsity stars Katie Marti (Offensive MVP) and Lyla Stuurmans (Defensive MVP) also claiming big awards.

Lyla Stuurmans will eat your very soul, sister.

Sophomore Teagan Calkins earned Most Improved, Kayla Arnold was handed Most Inspirational, and Skylar Parker and Reese Wilkinson joined Arnold in being honored as four-year players.

On the JV side of things, Bryley Gilbert (Leadership Award) and Brynn Parker (Heart Award) topped things for Kassie O’Neil’s squad.

Other second-team honors went to:

Capri Anter – Swiss Army Knife Award
Haylee Armstrong – Master Thief Award
Ari Cunningham – Not My House Award
Lexis Drake – Warrior Award
Ava Lucero – Uplifting Award
Taylor Marrs – Sight Award
Adie Maynes – Dependable Award
Chelsi Stevens – Brave Award
Tenley Stuurmans – Lil’ Coach Award
