Wherever there is a wrestling mat, there you will find her — beatin’ the crud out of her rivals.

Former Coupeville supernova Izzy LeVine, who lives in Arizona with the parental figures these days, continues to tear up the wrestling world.

This lil’ sis of Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Famers Micky and Jae LeVine, the former Wolf was busy in Vegas recently at the 2024 edition of Freakshow.

Izzy, who is grappling with the Stampede Wrestling Club, earned 2nd place in the Girls 18U Elite division.

The youngest LeVine went 7-3 on the weekend with five pins.

When not chasing mat glory, she attends Casteel High School in Queen Creek, Arizona.

Gridiron giants shake the scoreboard

The Wolves can light up a scoreboard.

Seven games into the season, the Coupeville High School football team is averaging just a hair under 27 points a game.

Sitting at 4-3 heading into Senior Night this coming Friday, CHS gets a visit from non-conference foe Winlock, an 0-6 team which has surrendered 44 points a night.

That number would likely be even higher, but one of those losses is a 2-0 forfeit to Mossyrock.

For Coupeville, the scoring leader has been junior quarterback Chase Anderson, who tops the team even with having missed an early-season clash with Granite Falls thanks to an injury.

Where he and his teammates sit through week seven:

 

Touchdowns:

Chase Anderson – 10
Jack Porter – 6
Davin Houston – 5
Marquette Cunningham – 2
Johnny Porter – 2
Liam Blas – 1
Hunter Bronec – 1

 

Conversions:

Anderson — 2
Blas — 1
Cunningham – 1
Houston – 1

 

PATs:

Anderson — 10

 

Field Goals:

Anderson – 2

 

Points:

Anderson — 80
Ja. Porter – 36
Houston — 32
Cunningham — 14
Jo. Porter – 12
Blas — 8
Bronec – 6

Long day, positive play

Saturdays are for team building.

Giving up half their weekend break, Coupeville High School JV volleyball players and coaches spent Saturday at a tournament in Bellingham, and the benefits were many.

“It was actually a pretty good day!” said CHS coach Ashley Menges.

“It was a long one, early morning, and a lot of playing time for everyone.

“We had a lot of really good conversations throughout the day and learned a lot of lessons.”

Coupeville split its players into two squads, with Menges and fellow coach Scout Smith each taking one.

Both units played strongly, with the first group claiming second place in its bracket.

“Overall, really good day all things considered, and the girls played REALLY well,” Menges said.

“They were super focused throughout the day, implementing change immediately. I’m super happy with how the day went!”

Wolf grads chase college sports dreams

The uniforms have changed, but the dream remains the same.

Former Coupeville High School athletes Nezi Keiper and Ben Smith are competing at the college level this fall, operating in different states and different sports.

Keiper is a freshman defender on the Edmonds College women’s soccer team and brings the same rough-and-tumble playing style to the pitch which endeared her to Wolf fans.

At a recent game against Skagit Valley College, she got to run into Lauren Marrs, a fab frosh goaltender who suits up for SVC.

Marrs was a standout athlete for Coupeville in her younger days, continuing through middle school, before attending Oak Harbor High School from her freshman season on.

Across the country, Smith is a senior linebacker for Concordia University in Chicago.

He’s racked up 10 tackles, including one for a loss, while playing his first season with the Cougars.

October 20, 2024 by David Svien

The battle to support music education in Coupeville continues.

In the wake of the school district cutting its secondary program during the last round of budget discussions, a group of locals has come to together in the hope of launching a booster club.

The plan is to meet the first Wednesday of each month, with a meeting set for Nov. 6 at the Coupeville Library.

For more info, pop up and take a gander at the photo above these words.
