A little bump in the road? No big thing.
Bouncing back from a razor-thin loss in its last match, the Coupeville High School JV volleyball squad delivered an epic message Tuesday night.
Invading the gym in which a dynasty was built, the hungry Wolves savaged host La Conner in straight sets, getting big contributions from everyone on the floor.
The 25-9, 26-24, 20-18 win lifts CHS to 2-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 3-1 overall.
While her team came up just short against Mount Vernon Christian in its last match, JV spiker guru Ashley Menges saw a big turnaround. And it pleased her.
“First set looked so clean,” she said. “We’re applying things we’ve learned in practice, things were going really well all the way through.
“Set two we let off the gas a little and got a little complacent, but it was a good lesson to learn how to dig ourselves out of holes.”
Coupeville had nine different players rack up stats Tuesday, a balanced effort Menges loves to see.
“Lots of really good things tonight,” she said. “Lots of players that are starting to show promising things.”
Rockin’ and rollin.
Menges praised the effort of freshmen Isa Mc Fetridge and Chelsi Stevens, who was placed in a new position “and did great filling in where the team needed her.”
The wham-bam duo of Dakota Strong and Lexis Drake combined for 14 kills, joining up with Capri Anter, who carved up the Braves for eight put-aways of her own.
La Conner often didn’t know where the ball was coming from, but they knew it was coming back over the net hard and fast.
“Dakota and Lexi had a really strong night at the net, being consistent as well as keeping their focuses that they work on in practice,” Menges said.
“Overall, lots of really good things and it’s always nice to walk out of that gym with a win.”
