They’re peaking at just the right time.

Having long ago rebounded from its only loss of the season, the Coupeville High School JV volleyball squad has now won seven straight.

The latest victim of the Wolves?

Concrete, which fell 25-16, 25-10, 25-17 Thursday night.

With the road victory, Ashley Menges and her kill-happy spikers get to 8-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 9-1 overall.

The JV has three matches left on the schedule, starting with a non-conference trip Saturday to far-off Neah Bay.

After that comes a journey to Orcas Island, and a home finale against Sultan.

As the season has played out, Menges has seen her team gel more and more, with improvement each time the young Wolves take the floor.

That was evident deep on the road in Concrete.

“We did a good job tonight of not letting teams go back and forth with us,” Menges said. “We took leads and kept with them.

“We’ve been working on fine details during practice that we’re trying to implement in games, but tonight was a good start to that.”

The team is getting stronger, but so are the players themselves.

“Lots of really good things from individuals and their own separate goals, which we love to see, especially since some of them have been working really hard on them in recent practices,” Menges said.

“Still time to get better this season, so in these last few games we have, I hope they really take advantage of that.”

Thursday stats:

Capri Anter — 3 kills, 1 dig, 1 ace
Haylee Armstrong — 9 digs
Ari Cunningham — 5 kills, 7 digs, 2 aces
Lexis Drake — 5 kills, 5 aces
Willow Leedy-Bonifas — 4 digs, 5 assists
Adeline Maynes — 1 dig, 12 assists, 10 aces
Isa Mc Fetridge — 1 ace
Chelsi Stevens — 1 kill
Dakota Strong — 3 kills
Sydney Van Dyke — 3 digs

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!”

Rally queens can’t be denied

Slow start, torrid finish.

The Coupeville High School JV volleyball squad stumbled out of the gate a bit Thursday night, then reached down deep inside and found its missing mojo.

Roaring back to life with a strong team-wide effort, the Wolves rallied to topple visiting La Conner 20-25, 25-17, 15-11 to the delight of their exuberant fan base.

The win gives Ashley Menges’ crew a season sweep of the Braves, while lifting them to 7-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 8-1 overall.

Next up for the JV is a trip to Bellingham Saturday, where the Wolves will take part in a tourney hosted by Meridian.

Thursday’s tangle with La Conner started off in favor of the visitors, as the Braves peppered the Wolves en route to building a solid first-set lead.

But even trailing 21-13, the Wolves showed some serious fight, battling back to make things interesting.

Lexis Drake ripped off one of her team-high five service aces to light a bit of a fire under CMS, and Dakota Eck and Capri Anter started to take control at the net.

With team sparkplug Haylee Armstrong collecting a series of floor burns while sliding across the hardwood in pursuit of wayward balls, Coupeville closed the set on a 7-4 run.

While they couldn’t quite catch the Braves, it was a positive sign of things to come, as the hometown spikers claimed control of the match early in the second set.

Ari Cunningham, filling up the stat sheet and the highlight reel, was everywhere, firing off aces and shooting winners that caught the very top of the net and flopped over for Wolf points.

Up 20-9 at one point, Coupeville ran away with the set, getting a huge tip winner from Strong to knot things at a set apiece.

With the match hanging in the balance, the two teams raced to 15 points in set three, with five ties, the last coming at 7-7.

Strong, bounding into the air, dropped a floater between several Braves to push Coupeville ahead for good, while Isa Mc Fetridge and Drake backed her up with solid winners while patrolling the net.

Thursday stats:

Capri Anter — 6 kills, 5 digs, 1 ace
Haylee Armstrong — 1 kill, 13 digs
Ari Cunningham — 2 kills, 8 digs, 1 assist, 2 aces
Lexis Drake — 3 kills, 5 digs, 5 aces
Adeline Maynes — 4 digs, 10 assists, 3 aces
Isa Mc Fetridge — 2 kills, 1 ace
Chelsi Stevens — 1 kill
Dakota Strong — 4 kills, 1 dig
Sydney Van Dyke — 2 digs

Wolves too Strong for Loggers

Dakota Strong was a force of nature unleashed.

Playing her most complete match Thursday, the Coupeville High School sophomore rained down hot death on visiting Darrington, sparking the Wolf JV spikers to a straight-sets win.

With Strong leading a team-wide embrace of big hits, CHS slipped past the Loggers 25-16, 25-21, 25-19 on a night when frequent Homecoming proposals captured a chunk of the spotlight.

The victory lifts the Coupeville JV to 3-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 4-1 overall, with a week before Orcas Island visits Cow Town Oct. 3 for the next match of the season.

Strong, who said yes to going to the big dance with boyfriend Landon Roberts, was electric all night long.

Adeline Maynes and Tenley Stuurmans set up their teammates with pinpoint passes, and seven different Wolves ripped a kill past Darrington’s defense.

None stood as tall as Strong, however, who mixed lightning bolts with artful tips, picking up winners at crucial moments.

Making mom Danette Beckley beam even more than normal, Danica’s “lil’ sis” kept the Wolf faithful on their feet with her stellar play, as did her teammates.

Darrington actually led in all three sets, only to have Coupeville come roaring from behind to seize the day in each frame.

With the first set knotted at 9-9, the Wolves got back-to-back tip winners from Strong and Chelsi Stevens to surge ahead, followed by a rat-a-tat attack of lasers.

Lexis Drake and Stuurmans joined Strong in shredding the psyche of their foes, with Stuurmans thumping a service ace right down the middle of the floor to end the first set.

Set #2 featured Capri Anter, Sydney Van Dyke, and Haylee Armstrong ripping off torrid runs at the service stripe, while Strong continued to toast the ball every time it came within range.

If the Loggers thought they might rally in the final frame, that idea quickly went out the window.

Doing the splits while airborne, Drake hammered a winner between two defenders, followed by a pair of superb slice shots from Stevens which dazzled the crowd.

Maynes provided the night’s final highlight reel, tearing off nine straight points on her serve to thoroughly deflate Darrington, while Anter nimbly dominated at the net in the waning moments.

Toss in appearances by Isa Mc Fetridge and Delilah Castellanos, and CHS coach Ashley Menges got strong work from everyone on the floor.

Thursday stats:

Capri Anter — 6 kills, 4 digs, 4 aces
Haylee Armstrong — 1 kill, 11 digs, 4 assists, 1 ace
Lexis Drake — 6 kills, 1 dig, 3 aces
Adeline Maynes — 1 kill, 3 digs, 13 assists, 6 aces
Chelsi Stevens — 4 kills, 1 dig
Dakota Strong — 8 kills, 1 solo block
Tenley Stuurmans — 6 kills, 3 digs, 8 assists, 1 ace
Sydney Van Dyke — 7 digs, 1 assist, 1 ace
