They’re showing great promise.
Through three matches, Coupeville Middle School volleyball players continue to display ever-growing skill and a never-say-die attitude.
While the Wolves weren’t able to topple powerhouse King’s Monday, the Wolves did give their hosts a furious fight, winning a set in each rumble.
“The girls did great yesterday,” said CMS coach Shaloma Allen. “They are growing as a team, and we all had a great time.”

How Coupeville fared:
Varsity:
King’s held on for a 25-19, 17-25, 15-11 win, ultimately nipping the Wolves by just two points total.
“Varsity battled hard against a tough opponent,” Allen said.
“The team’s progress is undeniable. Each match, they’re gelling more as a unit, and their skills are sharpening with every play.”
JV:
Another close one, with King’s only finishing three points better in a 26-24, 20-25, 15-9 nailbiter.
“The junior varsity team also brought their A-game!” Allen said. “Their consistent improvement is something special.
“These players are learning fast and playing with so much heart!”
C-Team:
Coupeville came out blazing, winning the first set 26-24, before King’s rebounded to snag the next two frames 25-14 and 15-3 for the victory.
“The C-Team started strong, showcasing their potential and teamwork,” Allen said. “Sets two and three were tougher, but their spirit never wavered.
“This group is laying a solid foundation, and I’m excited to see their growth as the season continues.”
After back-to-back road trips, Coupeville plays its next three at home, starting with a match against Granite Falls this Thursday, Oct. 9 at 3:15 PM.
Allen is looking forward to Wolf fans getting a chance to see the spikers in action up close and personal.
“All three teams showed resilience, teamwork, and a positive attitude that makes coaching them such a joy,” she said.
“We’re building momentum and can’t wait to keep pushing forward in our next game!”
