You knew Caleb Valko wasn’t going down without a fight.

But not even a considerable rally late in the game from Team Valko, which marshaled its voting bloc in the late hours Thursday night, could upend Nick Streubel, who started strong and finished even stronger.

By the time the week-long voting for our inaugural 2012-2013 Athlete Supreme had reached the finish line Friday morning, 429 votes had been cast, with nearly 200 coming after I went to bed Thursday night.

What had been a two-person battle between Streubel, a junior who starred on the Coupeville High School football, boys’ basketball and track teams and Breeanna Messner, the school’s only four-sport (volleyball, cheer, basketball, softball) athlete turned into a three-way tussle.

Valko, a senior captain on the football and basketball squads, rallied his troops hard and he shot past Messner and made a run at Streubel, pulling within three votes.

Then The Big Hurt surged, spurred by a campaign led by big sis Amanda Streubel, and crushed everyone in sight, garnering 40.56% of the vote total in a 12-athlete field.

There was actually a 13th option, to vote for Other, which didn’t work the way I thought it would, as the results didn’t actually show the names people typed in for those votes. Which would have been awkward if Other had won.

But, in the end, NO ONE beats Team Streubel. NO ONE.

Final vote totals:

Streubel (174)
Valko (111)
Messner (72)
Bessie Walstad (13)
Makana Stone (12)
Madison Tisa McPhee (10)
Other (10)
Jake Tumblin (6)
Aaron Curtin (5)
Austin Fields (5)
Hailey Hammer (5)
Ben Etzell (4)
Christine Fields (2)

We really broke the budget on our trophy…

Thursday night Coupeville High School will hand out its Male and Female Athletes of the Year. A week later we’re gonna top ’em.

Over the next week, you, my fervent followers, are being called on to vote for the first-ever winner of the “Coupevillesports.com Athlete Supreme.”

To be eligible, you had to play for Coupeville High School in 2012-2013, and, after much heated debate (between me, myself and I, and yes, fisticuffs were involved…), here are your 12 candidates. But, just in case you think I’m a complete moron, I also am offering a 13th slot for write-ins.

So, think I was wrong to leave out Amanda d’Almeida, Madeline Strasburg, McKayla Bailey, Brett Arnold or someone else? Your voice can still be heard.

The winner will be announced Friday, June 7 at 10 AM. Why? I don’t know, it just sounds official that way.

The nominees:

Aaron Curtin — #1 player on tennis team. Key basketball player. All-Conference honorable mention as baseball pitcher.

Ben Etzell — Went to districts in tennis. Second leading scorer in basketball, despite missing a chunk of time at start and end of season. First Team All-Conference as a baseball pitcher.

Austin Fields — Medalist five times during golf season. Went to state for third straight season.

Christine Fields — Strong soccer player. Claimed 15th at state golf tourney, a year after finishing 8th as a freshman.

Hailey Hammer — Starter in volleyball, basketball and softball. First Team All-Conference for softball, Second Team for volleyball.

Breeanna Messner — School’s only four-sport athlete (volleyball, cheer, basketball, softball) and a star in all of them.

Makana Stone — Strong soccer player. Battled for team scoring title in basketball despite missing games with illness. Made her high school track debut by winning first 32 races. Broke school records in 200 and as part of two different relay teams. Finished 5th at state in 4 x 200. Named First Team All-Conference in four separate track events.

Nick Streubel — One of two best offensive linemen in league during football. Team’s leading scorer in basketball. Went to tri-districts as a track thrower.

Madison Tisa McPhee — Strong soccer player who battled injuries. Undefeated in 100 and 300 hurdles all the way up through two final postseason track meets. Broke school records in 300 hurdles and as part of 4 x 200 relay team. Only Wolf to win two medals at state track meet. First Team All-Conference in three events.

Jake Tumblin — Led football team in virtually every offensive category; led baseball team in steals while anchoring defense as catcher.

Caleb Valko — Team leader and captain in football and basketball. Threw shot put and discus in track. Gave great smack talk.

Bessie Walstad — Captain for all three of her sports (volleyball, basketball, softball). Leading scorer in basketball. Second Team All-Conference in volleyball.

All-League honors rain down on Wolves!!

Posted in Golf, Track on May 30, 2013| 1 Comment »

“I see … awards. Lots and lots of awards!”

“So do I! So do I!!”

“How smart of me to bring the big cart, then, with all this cargo space for your award-haulin’ pleasure. Ladies…”

Go to state, get All-Conference honors.

It’s an easy formula, and one that worked just dandy for all eight Coupeville High School athletes who went to the Big Dance this spring.

All six Wolf track stars who traveled to Cheney last weekend and the entire two-person CHS links squad nabbed honors when the Cascade Conference released its final awards tally.

Leading the way was freshman Makana Stone, who was named First Team All-League in the 100, 200, 4 x 200 and 4 x 400. Hot on her heels was senior Madison Tisa McPhee, First Team in the 100 and 300 hurdles and 4 x 200 and Second Team in the 4 x 100.

Also honored were senior Jai’Lysa Hoskins (First Team 4 x 200 and 4 x 400 and Second Team 4 x 100), freshman Sylvia Hurlburt (First Team 4 x 200, Second Team 4 x 100), sophomore Marisa Etzell (First Team 4 x 400, Second Team 4 x 100) and freshman Kirsten Pelroy (First Team, 4 x 400).

Out on the links, both sophomore Christine Fields (First Team) and senior Austin Fields (Second Team) were honored. Though one has to ask how Austin wasn’t a First Teamer when he was medalist in five matches.

Austin Fields exits like a champ!!

“College golf, here I come!!”

Day two was a mixed bag.

One Coupeville High School golfer surged Wednesday, while the other lost some ground at the 1A state golf tourney in Lake Spanaway.

Wolf senior Austin Fields capped his third go-round at the big dance by firing an 83 to jump 13 spots in the final standings. His 29th place finish topped his sophomore (37th) and junior (36th) results.

Younger sister Christine struggled a bit, however, carding a 98, ten strokes off her performance from Tuesday. She dropped from a tie for 8th at the start of the day to a final showing of 15th.

She was 8th as a freshman.

Ross Kukula of Ilwaco won his second straight boys’ title, pulling off an eight-stroke win and leading his school to the team title.

On the girls side, Bree Wanderscheid of Goldendale turned a three-stroke deficit into a six-stroke victory with a brilliant second round. Goldendale won the team title.

The only other Whidbey golfer to make it to day two was South Whidbey’s Jenna Kaik, who shot an 88 Wednesday and claimed 12th place.

They live on to play another day.

Both of Coupeville High School’s golfers made the cut after day one of the 1A state golf tourney at Lake Spanaway Tuesday and will return to the course tomorrow morning for another go-round.

Wolf sophomore Christine Fields is sitting in a tie for 8th place on the girls side after carding an 88. That’s nine strokes better than her debut round last season, which she followed up with an epic charge the next day to finish 8th as a freshman.

Madisen Bentley of Life Christian, who finished 4th in 2012, is sitting in 1st place.

On the boys side, CHS senior Austin Fields made it three-for-three when he snuck in under the wire to advance to day two. After finishing 37th as a sophomore and 36th as a junior, he sits in a tie for 39th currently.

His round of 85 was right at the cut line and he waved bye-bye to 38 golfers who rang up an 86 or worse.

Defending state champ Ross Kukula of Ilwaco is two strokes up on Blaine’s Ryan Wallen with 18 holes to play.
