New season, same old domination on the wrestling mat.

Former Coupeville supernova Izzy LeVine whipped up on everyone in sight Saturday at the Arizona Women’s Cup, winning all five of her matches en route to a title.

Competing at Poston Butte High School in San Tan Valley, the Casteel junior helped spark her squad to a 3rd place finish in the team standings.

The Colts finished ahead of 29 other teams despite having just six grapplers on site, thanks to LeVine and three of her teammates medaling.

While much of her wrestling success has come after a family move to Arizona, the youngest of Sean and Joline’s three daughters already showed signs of growing into a superstar while the family lived on Whidbey.

Her dad and older sisters Micky and Jae are all Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame inductees.

The Arizona Women’s Cup officially kicked off the high school season, though Izzy has been hard at work almost year-round, as she terrorizes foes on the mat both in her Casteel uniform and as a free-lancer.

Coffman shines on Spanish gridiron

Dominic Coffman

Dominic Coffman continues to run amok in Spain.

The Coupeville High School grad cracked the defense for two touchdowns on the ground Saturday, churning and burning his way to gridiron glory to help his football team advance to another championship game.

With the former Wolf pounding away for close to 100 yards as a rusher, the Las Bravas Black Demons destroyed the Mallorca Voltors 46-0 in a semifinal matchup.

Coffman and Co. now advance to the title game Dec. 17 to play the Badalona Dracs, who blanked the Hospitalet Pioners 27-0 in the day’s other game.

This is the second season of playing American football abroad for the former Northwest 2B/1B League MVP, as he helped Las Bravas win the Spanish Cup in his debut campaign.

During his Coupeville days, Coffman, a 2023 grad, went to state in football, basketball, and track and field, joining Jonathan Valenzuela as the only Wolf boys to pull off the trifecta since at least the ’70s.

In his final state appearance, he was part of a CHS 4 x 100 relay unit which finished second.

Cram the van.

Fresh off the most-successful season in program history, Coupeville High School volleyball will send four to the Senior All-State games.

The event goes down Sunday, Dec. 8 at Burlington-Edison High School.

The Wolves are sending veteran spikers Katie Marti, Mia Farris, and Lyla Stuurmans, as well as coach Cory Whitmore.

Coupeville’s standouts will join up with players from Adna, Forks, River View, and Okanogan to form Team Gray, which will play Team Purple in the 2B game.

Whitmore will square off with Marie Denny of Liberty (Spangle) in calling the shots.

There are four games, with 1B all-stars kicking things off at 10:30 AM.

The 2B clash is set for 12:30, with 1A/2A (2:30) and 3A/4A bouts (4:30) to follow.

Coupeville, which went 18-2, won league and bi-district crowns, and placed 4th at the state tourney, was undefeated until the final day of the season.

This continues a recent trend of sending Wolf spikers to the All-State games, with Grey Peabody, Maddie Georges, and Alita Blouin having played in recent years.

Mia Farris pounds a kill.

Katie Marti flicks the ball skyward.

Lyla Stuurmans denies you.

They’ll be back.

The holiday season has put a brief pause in the Coupeville Middle School boys’ basketball season, but the Wolves return to the floor next Tuesday, Dec. 3.

They’ll travel to South Whidbey that day, kicking off the second half of their eight-game schedule.

Until then, a photographic reminder of who is playing this year.
