Let’s ease into the new week.

Here’s a collection of photos to kick things off – some very-light “reading” — featuring all of Coupeville High School’s active fall sports teams.

Welcome to life on a bus (and a ferry).

Seven of the eight contests next week for Coupeville High School teams are road affairs, with just Monday’s volleyball match at home.

It’ll be a nice test for the Wolves, to see how they respond to playing outside their comfort zones.

And a good way for the school district to test the gas mileage on those aforementioned buses.

So, there’s that.

CHS volleyball gets that lone home contest Monday against South Whidbey, then travels to Friday Harbor Tuesday afternoon.

For soccer, the girls also travel to Friday Harbor Tuesday, then trek to La Conner Thursday, while the boys go to La Conner Tuesday and Grace Academy Friday night.

Wolf football heads to Friday Harbor for a first-place showdown Friday, while cross country runs at Mount Vernon Christian a day before.

Where things stand through Sept. 26:

Varsity spikers dazzle at tourney

They came, they saw, and they almost completely conquered.

The Coupeville High School varsity volleyball squad claimed second-place at a tournament in Sultan Saturday, while mixing competition with experimentation.

The Wolves opened by blitzing through pool play, winning five of six sets to claim top dog status.

Coupeville, a 2B school, gave up a single set to 2A Cedarcrest, then bounced 4A Mariner in a three-set thriller in the semifinals of the tourney.

While the Wolves “ran out of steam a bit,” falling to 1A Mount Baker in the championship match, CHS coach Cory Whitmore was pleased with the day.

“It was great experience, and we got to work with some different lineups, which was fun for the group,” he said. “I thought we served tough throughout the day and worked hard in transition — a focus of ours.

“Always fun to get some tournament experience fairly early on, and the day offered a lot of chance for touches and reps.”

Coupeville, which is 4-0 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, and 4-1 overall, has back-to-back matches to kick off next week.

The Wolves host next-door neighbor South Whidbey (5-1) Monday in a titanic non-conference rumble, before traveling Tuesday to Friday Harbor (1-2, 1-4) for a league tussle.

Maddie Georges sets up the Wolves for success.

Wolf JV fears no school

“I am a very happy coach, and we all had a blast today!”

Coupeville High School JV volleyball guru Ashley Menges got to witness her team play four matches at a tournament in Oak Harbor Saturday — all against schools with much-larger student bodies — and came away thrilled with much of what she saw.

“Oh man, today was crazy!,” she said. “The girls had a great morning!

“Honestly, every girl played so well all day that it’s hard to highlight just one.”

Coupeville, a 2B school, opened pool play against 4A Kamiak and split sets, winning the second one while “making little errors both sets.”

From there, the Wolves battled 1A powerhouse Lynden Christian and 2A Squalicum.

“They played so clean and really forced them to make the errors,” Menges said.

“They made them earn their points, that’s for sure.”

Whether they were winning or losing sets in pool play, the Wolves battled their big-city foes with ferocity.

“Overall, a very strong pool play,” Menges said. “The girls played some of their best volleyball all season.

“Serving was spot on, our serve receive was amazing, and we were just finding the court, letting the other teams make the mistakes.”

Minor injuries and lineup changes hurt Coupeville a bit in its tournament play opener, as the Wolves fell in straight-sets to 2A Anacortes, ending their day.

Mia Farris and the Wolf JV sparkled against big-school competition.

“The girls came into it with tons of energy, clean ball again, and really turned it around; even the ref was impressed!,” Menges said.

She praised Issabel Johnson for “some great serve receive passes, great serves, and even a handful of kills (yes, even as a libero…),” while noting Mia Farris and Jada Heaton “were clean on the net and got some great touches on the ball.

“Madison (McMillan) and Gwen (Gustafson) were great both on the outside and in the back row today,” Menges added. “Katie (Marti) and Taylor (Brotemarkle) both delivered great sets all day, and Aby (Wood) played her best volleyball all season today.”

Coupeville returns to action this Monday, Sept. 27, when it hosts South Whidbey in a non-conference rumble.

JV starts at 4:30, varsity at 6:00.

She’ll play all day (and night)

Another milestone.

After opening her college volleyball career with 10 straight three-set matches, Coupeville grad Chelsea Prescott got to play Saturday in a five-set thriller.

And it was a doozy.

Prescott and her Medaille College teammates had match point in the fourth set, thanks to a thunderous kill by the former Wolf, but couldn’t hang on, falling to host Wells College.

The 19-25, 25-20, 22-25, 32-30, 15-11 loss drops the Mavericks to 3-8 on the season.

Up two sets to one, Medaille claimed a 30-29 lead in the fourth frame after Prescott swatted a winner, only to see Wells escape by scoring the final three points of the set.

Forget about sets and just count the points, and it was still an amazingly close match, with Wells edging Medaille 113-111.

Prescott finished with nine kills, three assists, and 11 digs on the day, while Maverick teammates Halle Bogas (17 kills) and Haley Kennedy (38 assists) also filled up the stat sheet.

During her freshman season of NCAA D-III volleyball, Prescott has played in all 35 sets, racking up 53 kills, 83 digs, seven service aces, seven assists, a solo block, and six block assists.

Medaille returns to action Oct. 2, when it travels to Penn State-Altoona to open Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference play.
