You had me at pizza and cake.

The booster club is holding an athlete appreciation dinner Thursday for Coupeville High School athletes.

Things go down starting at 6:00 PM in the school’s commons, with cake, pizza, games, and gifts on the menu.

Any CHS student who played a sport during the 2022-2023 school year — be it fall, winter, or spring — is invited.

In addition to the free food and gifts, there will be two guest speakers with strong Wolf ties.

Dane Lucero played football, basketball, and baseball for Coupeville, and just graduated from Washington State University.

Kassie O’Neil, currently the JV girls’ basketball coach at CHS, is among the most cold-blooded hoops killers in school history.

She repeatedly made King’s basketball fans cry expensive tears back in the day when she routinely drilled buzzer-beaters against the Knights, which is why she shall forever be known as Killer Kassie.

The athlete appreciation dinner was a yearly event, until the pandemic knocked if off the schedule for a bit.

“We are very excited to bring it back!” said Booster Club board member Jess Lucero.

CHS excels on field, in classroom

Posted in awards, tagged , , , , on April 8, 2023| Leave a Comment »

We’re still in the thick of things.

With two of three seasons complete during the 2022-2023 school year, Coupeville High School remains firmly wedged into the top five in the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association Scholastic Cup rankings.

With spring sports left to play out, CHS is tied with Napavine, just off of Asotin.

Saint George’s, Okanogan, and Liberty round out the top three.

The Scholastic Cup honors prep athletes for classroom performance as well as sports prowess.

Points are awarded for those who advance to the state championships, such as Wolf football and cross country, with academic success a major component of the process.

Coupeville’s biggest bonanza so far is the 100 points its girls’ cross country squad netted for being state academic champs.

Schools also receive points for sportsmanship and can be dinged for ejections.

One school in each classification, from 4A-1B, will receive the Scholastic Cup after the completion of spring sports.

Academics. Athletics. Excellence.

Achieving high standards, Coupeville High School is ranked third out of 61 schools in the 2B classification in the first Scholastic Cup standings.

The rankings, which are compiled by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, “recognize performance in the classroom as well as on the playing surface.”

Team athletic performances at the state tournament level of competition matters, as does team academic performance, and school-wide sportsmanship.

Coupeville notched 355 points for the fall season, placing them behind just Saint George’s (585) and Okanogan (435).

Cle Elum-Roslyn and Liberty (Spangle) round out the current top five with 240 points.

Coupeville’s points came courtesy a number of teams.

The girls’ cross country squad collected 100 points for being the 2B scholastic state champs, and another 30 points for finishing 8th as a team at the state meet.

Wolf boys’ soccer picked up 80 points for having the second-best GPA among 2B teams, while Coupeville’s female booters brought in 30 for placing 7th in the classroom.

Football’s first trip to the state playoffs since 1990 was worth 20 points, while the gridiron giants earned another 30 points for being the 8th best scholastic squad in the classification.

Rounding out the effort, boys’ cross country notched 40 points for a 5th place GPA showing, while Coupeville’s athletic programs were handed another 25 points for school-wide sportsmanship.

Scholastic Cup standings will be updated after the winter season, with the winning schools announced at the end of spring sports.

Lhamon, Murdy top CHS athletes

Senior Xavier Murdy repeats as the male Athlete of the Year.

A return to glory and a debut in the spotlight.

Senior three-sport star Xavier Murdy became a two-time winner Tuesday when Coupeville High School announced its Athlete of the Year honorees for the 2021-2022 school year.

Joining him was Wolf junior Carolyn Lhamon, who earned her first year-ending honor and will see her photo eventually go up in the CHS gym hallway.

Like Murdy, Lhamon played three sports for Coupeville, anchoring soccer, basketball, and track and field teams.

On the pitch, she was a First-Team All-Conference pick for her play as a midfielder, combining a booming, big-play leg with a rough-and-tumble defensive mentality.

Moving into winter, Lhamon patrolled the paint for Coupeville’s hoops squad, crashing the glass hard in her third varsity season.

Lhamon powers to the hoop.

This spring, she put a cap on things by qualifying for the state track meet in two vastly different events, earning a trip to Cheney to compete in both the 4 x 100 relay and shot put.

Murdy, who was an Athlete of the Year winner as a junior, when he shared the honor with Chelsea Prescott, put together a strong swan song.

He opened the school year by matching Lhamon’s performance, also being tabbed as a First-Team All-Conference player for his work as a midfielder on the Wolf soccer squad.

Spring brought Murdy more honors, when he was acknowledged as a Second-Team All-League pick for his work behind the plate for CHS baseball.

But winter put the exclamation point on his bid to join the relatively short list of Wolves who have won their school’s biggest athletic award more than once.

Murdy makes the net pop.

Murdy paced Coupeville basketball in almost every stat category, copping Northwest 2B/1B League MVP as he played a key role for a program which enjoyed its best performance in decades.

The Wolf hoops squad finished 16-2, winning its first league title since 2002.

Murdy and Co. also claimed the program’s first district title since 1970 and advanced to state for the first time since 1988, where they pushed hoops heavyweights Kalama and Lake Roosevelt to the final buzzer.

Based on his hardwood play, Murdy became the first Wolf boy in at least a decade-and-a-half to be invited to participate in the All-State basketball game, where he scored 10 points in a 115-95 win.
