“Everyone played exceptionally well and showed real determination on the court.”
Playing under sunny skies on the prairie Friday, the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis team held its own with its ritzy private school rival, battling to a 3-3 tie with The Bush School in varsity action.
The Wolves swept all three singles matches, with Tenley Stuurmans and Dahlia Miller remaining unbeaten on the season.
“Our singles players continue to dominate on the court,” said CHS coach Starla Seal.
“They delivered impressive performances this week, showing grit, smart play, and strong court presence.
“Their focus and consistency were key to our team’s success, and we’re proud of the strength they show on court.”

While The Bush School was able to pull out victories in the doubles matches, Coupeville’s coaches were pleased with the effort they saw from their players.
“A special shoutout to the Light sisters (Ember and Mila), who brought great energy and teamwork in their doubles match,” Seal said.
“Their fight and chemistry were clear, and we’re excited to see what they bring to the next match!”
The match marked the return of Sofia Phay from an injury, and she reunited with Kauri Hamilton as if the duo had never been apart.
“Their teamwork and trust in one another create a solid foundation, allowing them to stay composed under pressure and adapt well mid-match,” Seal said.
“It’s clear they enjoy playing together, and their chemistry has become a real asset to the team.”
