Coupeville Sports

Marcelo Gebhard has a reunion with mom Stephanie.

A pack of Wolves are living out their dreams of playing college sports this fall.

Coupeville grads are suiting up for football, volleyball, soccer, softball, and baseball teams across the state and the USA.

Madison McMillan (softball) and Landon Roberts (baseball) are involved in fall ball activities on the diamond at Edmonds College and Walla Walla College, respectively, while Nezi Keiper is anchoring the defense for an Edmonds women’s soccer squad which is 6-3-1.

Out on the gridiron, Marcelo Gebhard is suiting up at Lewis-Clark Valley College in Idaho, while Ben Smith is lining up for Lakeland University in Wisconsin.

Smith, a grad student, has racked up five tackles, a sack, and a quarterback hit in two games, while Gebhard’s team seemingly posts no stats on the internet, frustrating his hometown sports reporter.

Back closer to home, former Wolf teammates Lyla Stuurmans and Mia Farris are slated to oppose each other for the first time as college rivals this Friday, Oct. 10, when Skagit Valley College hosts Whatcom College.

Stuurmans has played in 19 matches for an SVC squad which sits at 11-10 on the season and is filling up the stat sheet just like she did back in her days at CHS.

The always highlight reel-worthy hitter has compiled 110 kills, 53 digs, 31 block assists, 17 service aces, five solo blocks, and 147.5 points.

Farris, living up to her high school nickname of “Mia the Magnificent,” continues to soar high as one of three Whatcom spikers to have played in all 16 of her team’s matches.

Keaton and Vivian’s lil’ sis is a perpetual powerhouse, popping for 46 kills, 23 aces, 113 digs, eight assists, seven block assists, and 73.5 points.

She’s #1 on her team in digs and sets played (52) and #2 in aces.
