They were born to spike.
Former Coupeville High School supernovas Mia Farris and Lyla Stuurmans are off in college now, but they continue to fill up the stat sheet every time they step on a volleyball court.
Farris, a freshman at Whatcom College, has played in all eight of her team’s matches, racking up 25 kills, six assists, 75 digs, one solo block, six block assists, and nine service aces.
She leads the Orcas in digs, and is tied for top honors in most sets played, having graced the floor in 26 frames.
Meanwhile, fellow CHS Class of 2025 grad Stuurmans is firing off bombs as part of the volleyball squad at Skagit Valley College.
The former Northwest 2B/1B League MVP has played in 11 of 13 matches for SVC, with 66 kills, 29 digs, two solo blocks, 24 block assists, and 11 aces.
