She’s droppin’ kills and takin’ names

Chelly is still crunchin’ the volleyball.

Coupeville grad Chelsea Prescott offered up another strong performance Saturday, racking up nine kills, seven digs, and a team-high three service aces during a tense four-set thriller.

Unfortunately, her heroics were not enough to save Medaille College, which fell 26-24, 25-21, 25-27, 25-15 to visiting La Roche University.

The loss drops the Mavericks to 1-2 in Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference play, 4-10 overall.

Medaille gets back at it Tuesday, Oct. 12, when it hosts Alfred State College in another AMCC tilt.

Along with Prescott’s all-around performance, the Mavericks also got strong work from Halle Bogas (13 kills), Haley Kennedy (34 assists), and Cierra Tripp (19 digs).

Prescott has been rock-solid in her freshman year in Buffalo, starting all 14 of her team’s matches and playing in all 45 sets.

The former Wolf has 73 kills, 108 digs, 13 aces, eight assists, one solo block, and six block assists, while scoring 90 points.

She’s #2 on her team in digs, and #3 in kills, aces, and points.

Big meet, big finishes

The Wolves celebrate in the sun.

“What a glorious day for a race!”

Coupeville Middle School cross country coach Elizabeth Bitting was excited Friday, and not just about the weather.

Running at the mega-epic Nike Hole in the Wall Invitational at Lakewood High School, Coupeville nailed 11 PR’s and almost won a team title in the 6th grade girls race.

The event drew almost 200 middle school runners Friday, with another 4,000 or so high school runners set to go Saturday.

To put on the two-day meet, it takes 135+ volunteers and the Wolves appreciated each one.

Running the longest course of the middle school season — a crisp 1.8 miles — CMS netted PR’s from all five male runners, and six of nine girls.

Each grade competed in a separate race, and the Wolf 6th grade girls were just four points off of team title winner Lakewood, which has a much-larger student body.

“They were overjoyed! I was overjoyed!! The families in attendance were overjoyed!!!,” Bitting said.

The huge field of runners made for an interesting experience, as well.

“It was perfectly summed up by Wyatt (Fitch-Marron),” Bitting said.

“The start was like being in the middle of a stampede, hearing hoofs pounding the ground all around, and nowhere to go but forward.”

As she and her runners headed back to Whidbey, Bitting basked in the afterglow of the day.

“Everybody ran such an amazing race, and had so many great things to say about the whole invitational afterwards,” she said.

“Definitely a memory maker race!!!!!”

Girls soccer Senior Night changes dates

October 8, 2021 by David Svien

Get your farewells ready a little quicker.

Senior Night for Coupeville High School girls soccer has been bumped from Oct. 23 to Oct. 16 after East Jefferson cancelled a non-conference game with the Wolves.

That means the finale for seven CHS seniors will come against Sultan, in what will be the last game in a four-game homestand at Mickey Clark Field.

Coupeville’s final two regular-season games are on the road.

East Jefferson, which is the result of Chimacum and Port Townsend combining their sports programs, had to drop the Oct. 23 game to make way for a rescheduled league game.

That clash was originally a victim of Covid.

And the never-ending schedule changes continue to fall like rain drops on a Pacific Northwest afternoon…

Injuries sideline Wolf gridiron giants

The game that wasn’t, then was, is now no more again.

Coupeville High School’s clash Saturday at home against 1A power Meridian has been cancelled a little over 24 hours before kickoff.

Injuries, not Covid, are the culprit.

“I just received communication from our football staff that we’ve had some mid-week injuries that leaves us with just 13 healthy bodies for this weekend’s game,” said CHS Athletic Director Willie Smith.

“Unfortunately, we are going to need to cancel tomorrow’s game.”

The match-up had only recently been added to the schedule, after Meridian’s league game with Lynden Christian was wiped from the schedule when the latter school switched to remote learning in the wake of Covid outbreaks.

Coupeville had an opening on its schedule, and moved in to replace the Lyncs, but are now also sidelined.

The Wolves, 1-3 on the season, return to action, hopefully, next Friday, Oct. 15, when they travel to La Conner for a Northwest 2B/1B League bout.
