She’s a social media star.

Coupeville grad Mia Farris was called out on Instagram Sunday by Whatcom College volleyball coaches — in a positive way — for hitting a major milestone number.

The former Wolf, now a college sophomore, was hailed for piling up 500 career digs (she actually has 509 and counting) while playing for the Orcas.

Farris has four regular season matches left to play, including a reunion with fellow CHS alumni Lyla Stuurmans October 30 when Skagit Valley College hosts Whatcom.

Her bat is still locked and loaded.

Coupeville grad Teagan Calkins, now a freshman at the University of Colorado Boulder, returned to the softball diamond for fall ball and promptly filled up the stat sheet.

The former Wolf played in 10 games, hitting .483 while collecting 14 hits, including four doubles and two triples for a Buffaloes squad which went 7-3 across September and October.

Colorado won its final six games, including a three-game sweep of Colorado Mesa Saturday in the fall ball finale.

Calkins, a three-sport supernova in her Cow Town days, also racked up nine RBI, eight runs, and five walks — two by being plunked — with a .559 on base percentage, a .759 slugging percentage, and a 1.317 OPS.

She and her new teammates return to the field in March, when they kick off the regular season with a series against the Air Force Academy.

Madison McMillan still loves dingers

Elton John thought Saturday night was alright for fighting, but Madison McMillan knows it’s alright for socking softballs.

The Coupeville grad, now a sophomore at Edmonds College, is currently playing fall ball for the Tritons diamond squad.

Saturday that meant going yard on Centralia College, one of four pink-clad sluggers to whack a dinger.

After the power explosion was done, the Triton mad mashers posed for a pic which landed on the team’s Instagram page, always a good place for wandering writers to poach from.

McMillan, a member of the Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame for her exploits in Cow Town, was an accomplished volleyball, basketball, and softball player for the Wolves.

Back then, she was known to belt softballs in the direction of Prairie Center’s parking lot.

Now?

Different town, different uniform, still the same hard-hitting sensation.

No panic with Lyla Stuurmans in the lineup.

Bouncing back from a set down Wednesday, the Skagit Valley College women’s volleyball team rallied to knock off visiting Everett 22-25, 27-25, 25-20, 27-25.

One big key to the victory, which lifts the Cardinals to 12-9 on the season? The play of their sophomore sensation.

Stuurmans, a former Coupeville High School Athlete of the Year winner, came up big against Everett, pounding 10 kills, going low for 14 digs, soaring at the net for two solo blocks, then tossing in a service ace for the cherry on top.

She also put her personal stamp on the win, getting a block to push SVC ahead 26-25 in the fourth set, before serving out the match.

On the season, Stuurmans has racked up 127 kills, 10 assists, 18 aces, 196 digs, 10 solo blocks, 25 block assists, and 167.5 points.
