The crabs will be there, will you?

Coupeville High School’s biggest athletic fundraiser, the annual Crab Feed, is set for Nov. 9, and tickets go on sale today.

The event, which features Dale Sherman (and his velvet voice) as auctioneer, is held at the Whidbey Island Nordic Lodge Hall, which is located at 63 Jacobs Road in Coupeville.

Doors open at 4:30, though the crabs will be entering through the back door.

Tickets, which can be purchased from any Coupeville Booster Club board member, are $50 and include two free drinks.

If you don’t cross paths with the ticket holders, you can also reach them by messaging them through the Club’s Facebook page:

Along with the crab and various other tasty food products to be served, the event features an auction.

A couple of highlights include a two-hour boat tour from Saratoga Yacht Charters, a champagne and truffle reception for 12 at the Compass Rose, and a hand-made Madrona wood side table with a built-in wine rack created by CHS Athletic Director Willie Smith.

Tasty treats fuel college dreams

Bake a cake and help fuel a student’s education.

The Coupeville Lions Club, which gives out college aid to CHS seniors, is gearing up for its annual scholarship auction, and is looking for a few bakers to help sweeten the deal.

A key part of the auction is the Dessert Dash, and last year the Lions brought in $6,000 towards their scholarships off of the 20 desserts up for bids.

To make the event a success, the club is looking for CHS senior parents or students willing to make a dessert for the auction.

If interested, contact Diana Swisher at caddyladyl@hotmail.com or (360) 678-6215 for the specifics.

As temps drop, action heats up

The Wolf volleyball spikers are 9-1, second-best start in program history.

Things are ramping up.

As we sail towards the middle of October, the race for league titles and postseason berths heats up in the North Sound Conference.

Coupeville High School volleyball is still in contention for a crown, trailing King’s by a game, with five matches to play, while Wolf soccer is fighting for a playoff berth.

Tennis and cross country go their own way, with individual success largely trumping team glory, while football is prevented from being a playoff team since it’s taking a one-year break from league play.

Which doesn’t mean they can’t win, as the Wolf gridiron squad is the second most-successful CHS program this fall.

The week ahead will start to shake things out, with Coupeville soccer hosting Sultan Tuesday in a must-win game, followed by a road trip Thursday to Cedar Park Christian.

Football is at home Friday, hosting South Whidbey on Homecoming.

Ownership of The Bucket for the next year is at stake, and the Wolves sit one win away from posting their first winning season in 13 years.

Also on tap are a pair of road matches for CHS volleyball, Tuesday at CPC and Thursday at South Whidbey, a cross country trip to Granite Falls Thursday, and what could be the final week of tennis action.

The Wolf netters travel to Seattle Academy Monday, host The Bush School Tuesday, then play Saturday in the Emerald City League championships.

As we prepare for the action-packed week ahead, a look at where we are at the moment.

Saturday spikes, serves sizzle

It was a battle royal for the heart of the Island.

Or at least a rare weekend volleyball showdown for middle school neighbors.

Thanks to a reshuffled schedule brought about by reffing issues, Coupeville and Langley clashed Saturday on the southern tip of Whidbey, with the Cougars taking two of three matches from the Wolves.

How it all played out:

 

Level 1:

Coupeville’s top spikers fought hard all day, coming back to win the third set but drop the match 25-19, 25-15, 7-15.

The loss leaves the Wolves at 0-6 on the season, heading into a home match Monday with Granite Falls.

Savina Wells had the spiciest mix of serves, helping CMS win 11 points while she was anchored at the stripe, while Olivia Schaffeld (9) and Mia Farris (7) chipped in with solid work.

Also winning points on serve were Katie Marti (6), Chloe Marzocca (5), Grey Peabody (5), Taylor Brotemarkle (3), and Lyla Stuurmans (3).

 

Level 2:

Coupeville’s most-successful squad kept the good times rolling, thumping their hosts 25-13, 25-11, 16-14.

With the win, the Wolves middle franchise bounces to a spiffy 4-2.

Dropping the hammer of the gods on the Cougars was the one-two combo of Madison McMillan and Brionna Blouin, who each tallied up 18 points on serve.

Aby Wood led the support crew with 12 more, while Issabel Johnson had nine.

Rounding out the well-balanced attack were Allison Nastali (3), Skylar Parker (2), Ava Mitten (2), and Kaitlyn Leavell (2).

 

Level 3:

Langley got a bit of revenge in this one, sweeping Coupeville 25-9, 25-14, 15-4, dropping the Wolves to 1-5 on the season.

Bryley Gilbert was the top scorer for CMS, tallying up five points off of her serve, with Hayley Thomas tossing in another four.

Also scoring were Bailey Thule (3), Kaylee Clark (3), Oktober Frost (3), Kassidy Upchurch (3), Gabriella Becktell (3), Jackie Contreras (2), and Maryah Love (1).

Beat the crowd, beat your PR

Helen Strelow also ran her high school best on the 5000 meter course, one of nine Wolves to hit a PR at Lakewood High School.

A sea of humanity, all clad in racing shoes.

That was what awaited the Coupeville High School cross country squad when it arrived Saturday morning at Lakewood High School.

The Nike Hole in the Wall Cross Country Invitational attracted 5,000+ runners, from multiple states and two countries, with 14 of the harriers wearing the red and black of the Wolves.

“That meet was crazy!!!!,” said first-year CHS coach Luke Samford with a laugh.

By the time the final runner had crossed the line, with multiple 5000 meter races being contested to handle the crush, nine of the 14 Coupeville athletes walked back to the bus with a PR.

Having survived the biggest field of the season, the Wolves now head down the stretch run, starting with the last regular-season meet Oct. 17 at Granite Falls.

The Wolves return to Lakewood Oct. 26 for the North Sound Conference championships, with the lure of the district and state meet beckoning from Nov. if any CHS runners hit qualifying times.
