In the words of one James Brown …
Hey! Gotta, gotta payback!
(The big payback)
Revenge! I’m mad!
(The big payback)
Got to get back!
I need some get-back!
Payback!
Payback! (The big payback)
That’s it! Payback!
Whether they cued up some 1973 funk or not, the Coupeville High School JV volleyball squad got that sweet, sweet payback Tuesday night.
Avenging their only loss of the season, the Wolves rallied to beat host Mount Vernon Christian 15-25, 25-16, 16-14, just the way coach Ashley Menges likes it.
The victory lifts the JV spikers to 6-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 7-1 overall heading into a home showdown Thursday with La Conner.
It also pushes Menges career winning percentage to an even .700, as the fifth-year coach is 42-18 since taking the reins of the second squad.
The Wolves watch the action unfold.
The first time the teams faced off, in mid-September, Coupeville actually won more points (62-61), but MVC escaped, nailing down two of three sets.
This time out, it was the Wolves taking both the moral victory and the victory-victory.
“It was a slow start to the night, and we definitely weren’t all there to begin the day, but it’s good to see they can turn it around,” Menges said.
“Something we always want to emphasize is that we get better with every set, which is what they did tonight and I’m very glad to see.
“They also took what I said pregame and started with that first point.
“As always, there’s more to work on, but for now I’m glad to see them pull out a win.”
