Lexis Drake has gone to a different level this school year.
As we note the 24 Coupeville High School students who are making the grade as three-sport athletes, we should also hail the Wolf freshman for actually beating that standard.
Drake is among the rarest of rare in that she’s a CHS athlete who has been a part of four separate teams.
Like legendary Wolf Breeanna Messner did back in the day, Jaje’s lil’ sis balanced playing volleyball with being a football cheerleader in the fall.
Lexis delivered spikes and sets for the Wolf JV volleyball crew, where she earned the Most Inspirational award, while also working the sidelines on fall Fridays as part of the varsity cheer squad.
Pulling double duty allowed her to have a front row seat to her big bro playing his senior season of football.

After a super-busy fall, which all happened as Lexis made her own debut as a high schooler, she could have taken a break.
Instead, she immediately jumped into basketball, before picking up the track and field mantle this spring.
Throughout her odyssey, Lexis has shined brightly, putting in tons of hard work while always displaying great joy.
She is the epitome of everything a Wolf student/athlete can be, achieving greatness while remaining humble.
So, take a moment to tip your hat, or lift your drink, and acknowledge Lexis for all she has accomplished – and all she will likely continue to achieve as her high school career plays out.
She’s a jack of all trades, AND a master of them, too.
Her future’s so bright, she’s going to need shades. (Parker Hammons photo)
