Wolf 7th graders stage a rally.

They had to travel to get it, but that first win was out there waiting for them.

On the road in Sultan Tuesday, the Coupeville Middle School 8th grade varsity volleyball team used stellar defensive play to surge to its first victory of the season.

Winning in straight sets, the Wolves bounced the host Turks 25-11, 25-13, 15-12 to give first-year coach Sadi Foltz her initial triumph.

The 7th grade JV split sets, dropping its opener 20-11 before bouncing back for a 20-16 win.

Coupeville’s other two squads took losses, with the 7th grade varsity falling 25-15 and 25-17 before taking the third set 15-12 and the 8th grade JV being nipped 20-5, 20-11.

"And now I will unleash a serve of such wonder

   “And now I will unleash a serve of such wonder and grace your jaw will drop as it sails past you, untouched, for an ace.”

"Me too!!"

“Me too!!”

The learning season continues.

The Coupeville Middle School volleyball squads absorbed more losses Monday, this time on the road in Granite Falls, but a lot of the scores continue to get closer.

The bright spot was the 7th grade JV, which split sets and walked off with a tie.

That team fell 20-6 in the opener, then bounced back to claim the second set 20-14.

Other scores on the day:

7th grade varsity lost 25-9, 15-4

8th grade JV lost 20-12, 20-7

8th grade varsity lost 25-13, 25-19, 15-7

The Wolves get right back at it Tuesday, traveling to the wilds of Sultan, before hosting Northshore Thursday (3 PM).

Sometimes you can learn more from a loss than a win.

Hopefully that’s the case for the next generation of Wolf volleyball stars, who showed promise and flashes of brilliance in an afternoon that ended with a string of losses Thursday.

Playing in Lakewood, all four Coupeville Middle School spiker squads fell, though the eighth grade varsity did pull out a set win.

The scores:

7th grade JV lost 20-17, 20-10

7th grade varsity lost 25-23, 25-13, 15-11

8th grade JV lost 20-9, 20-4

8th grade varsity lost 25-13, 25-11, 13-15

Against all odds, they almost pulled out a win.

Almost.

Despite losing four fumbles, two when they were in scoring position, the Coupeville Middle School football squad came dangerously close to pulling off a comeback win Wednesday in Langley, before falling by three points.

The very-young Wolves kept on coming hard into the final moments.

CMS launched an onside kick with a minute to go, but couldn’t quite come up with the ball for one final drive.

“It looked as though we had it (the ball), but after a little wrestling, we came up short,” said Wolf coach Bob Martin. “A little running, a little passing, it was our game to win, but our errors were the deciding factor.”

Coupeville, which is now 0-3, returns to action Wednesday, Oct. 8 when it travels to Granite Falls.
