The world is yours.

With one school year officially ending Monday, eyes already turn to the next one.

At least for sports bloggers in need of things to write about during the summer months.

While the 2024-2025 school year doesn’t start until September 3 in Coupeville, now is a perfect time for incoming freshmen to introduce themselves to Wolf fans.

Whether you’ve already made a mark as a high school athlete while still in 8th grade, or you’re undecided about if you want to pursue any athletic endeavors during your CHS days, this is open to any incoming 9th grader.

Have a parent contact me, either on Facebook or at davidsvien@hotmail.com, and I’ll send them some questions you can answer at your leisure.

No pressure, no one standing there, notebook in hand, as you contemplate the questions.

This is your time to have the spotlight on you. Embrace it.

You will not pass!

Well, you might pass the ball once or twice, but you certainly won’t score on the Red Rebels.

Throwing down four straight shutouts, the U10 girls’ soccer squad, coached by Coupeville High School pitch guru Kimberly Kisch, rampaged to a tourney title this weekend.

The event was the 3rd annual Matt Mikos Memorial Tournament, hosted by the North Whidbey Soccer Club.

With tons of teams and multiple titles in play, action was hopping, but the spotlight, at least for the moment, falls on the pride of the prairie.

Coupeville’s young booters, sponsored by Callen’s Restaurant, are coming for all your trophies.

All of them, I said.

Pride of the prairie.

Coupeville baseball stars (l to r) Landon Roberts, Camden Glover, and Chase Anderson are suiting up for Oak Harbor this summer.

Somewhere, at this exact moment, a Coupeville kid is busy on a diamond.

Likely.

With the end of school fast approaching, and the weather at least slightly better, baseball and softball games continue to play out across various ball fields.

The pics above and below were poached from Wolf Moms Sherry Bonacci (baseball) and Mandi Black (softball).

They capture a mix of games near and far, with the older guys in Pasco and the younger girls at home on the prairie.

Coupeville is going to the big time.

Wolf senior-to-be Lyla Stuurmans made the cut and was tabbed as one of 12 players named to the U19 Puget Sound Region All-Star volleyball squad.

That team travels to Des Moines, Iowa July 16-22 for the USA Volleyball All-Star tournament, where it will clash with rivals from other regions.

Lyla Stuurmans is one of three Wolf spikers who made the first cut in qualifying for the travel squad.

Fellow senior Mia Farris was a finalist for the U19 team as well, while Lyla’s younger sister, incoming freshman Tenley, is currently competing for a roster spot with the U15 team.

That squad will be announced next week.

Lyla is proof players from small schools can make a big impact, as her new teammates hail from bigger programs such as Archbishop Thomas Murphy, Bellevue Christian, Juanita, Meadowdale, and Arlington.

We’re venturing into enemy territory here … sort of.

The name of the blog is still Coupeville Sports, but technically, I am a graduate of Oak Harbor High School, and most of all, I rarely say no to free photos.

So, here you go on an otherwise quiet Saturday night — some fresh pics of the OHHS Class of 2024 getting diplomas, courtesy John Fisken.
