Posts Tagged ‘All-League’

It was a season of domination, right down to the end.

The Coupeville High School volleyball squad drilled its Olympic League foes this season, winning all nine matches, and, for that matter, all 27 sets.

So it came as no surprise when the Wolves received 50% of the All-Conference selections, including, for the second-straight year, MVP.

This time around the highest honor went to senior Hope Lodell, who moved to libero for her final year, but never lost her reputation for carving up foes as “The Surgeon.”

Sliding over to replace a legend in Valen Trujillo, Lodell adapted her game to fit her new job and excelled on a nightly basis.

Whether scraping digs off the floor or firing wicked aces which burnt the top of the net and caused dad Mike to lose his mind, she went out all guns blazing.

After helping lead CHS to a league title, a tie for the most wins in program history (13) and its first trip to state since 2004, Lodell exits holding numerous marks on the school volleyball record board.

Also getting honors for Coupeville were fellow seniors Katrina McGranahan (last year’s MVP), Mikayla Elfrank and Lauren Rose, who were all named First-Team All-League.

Chimacum junior Renee Woods, Port Townsend senior Alana McCleese and Klahowya sophomore Rachel Bailey rounded out the First-Team roster.

Klahowya sophomore Maile Lueck was tabbed as the defensive player of the year.

Camtastic went out with a bang.

In a football season where Coupeville lost almost all of its stars to injury, senior Cameron Toomey-Stout was one of the few Wolves to stay healthy and explosive all year.

And now he’s been rewarded for the stellar numbers he put up on both sides of the ball, being tabbed to the Olympic/Nisqually League’s All-Conference team three times.

Toomey-Stout earned First-Team honors as a receiver and defensive back, while also netting Second-Team honors as a kick returner.

Two of his fellow seniors, Hunter Downes and Julian Welling, also received props when the coaches of the eight-team league got together to hash out the season.

Downes, who broke his school’s career record for touchdown passes, was a Second-Team selection at quarterback, while Welling was an Honorable Mention pick for his work on the defensive line.

They dominated the league standings, so it’s only appropriate they dominated the postseason honors.

The Coupeville High School girls basketball squad wrapped up a third straight 9-0 season in Olympic League play this year, and conference coaches honored seven different Wolves when they selected All-League teams.

Senior Kailey Kellner and junior Mia Littlejohn repeated as First-Team picks.

Meanwhile seniors Tiffany Briscoe and Lauren Grove, junior Mikayla Elfrank and sophomores Lindsey Roberts and Kalia Littlejohn were all tabbed for Honorable Mention.

The All-League honors were announced Tuesday, as the Wolf girls wrapped a very successful season with an awards banquet.

Coupeville’s varsity went 15-6, the third straight year it has won 15 or more games, while the Wolf JV finished 11-3 overall, 5-0 in league play.

Or 15-3, 9-0 if you award the JV forfeit wins for the four league games they didn’t get a chance to play when Port Townsend and Chimacum bailed on games due to a lack of players.

Hunter Smith

   Junior guard Hunter Smith was similarly honored by Olympic League coaches when voting was announced.

Hunter Smith and Gabe Wynn stood tall all season, and it paid off.

The Wolf duo, who opened the boys basketball season as the only returning varsity players, were called on to provide scoring and leadership for a very inexperienced squad, and they never flinched from their duties.

Their play, their heart and their intangibles were honored when Smith, a junior, and Wynn, a senior, were named First-Team All-League selections after a vote by the 1A Olympic League coaches.

Smith averaged 16.6 points a night over a 20-game season, with a high of 34 against Klahowya.

Wynn knocked down 10.3 a game, and set a school single-game record, hitting seven three-point bombs in a home game against Port Townsend.

Those honors were the biggest news as the Coupeville High School boys’ hoops squad brought an official end to the 2016-2017 season Thursday with an awards shindig.

Smith also took home the Mr. Hustle Award, while freshman Sean Toomey-Stout earned the same honor for the JV squad.

Manager Axel Partida was hailed for his stellar work keeping the Wolf teams in working order all season.

Cory Whitmore

It took Cory Whitmore a single season to be named Coach of the Year.

Every time Katrina McGranahan hit the volleyball this season, it exploded.

Mixing power at the net, where she led Coupeville in kills for the second straight year, and at the service stripe, where she was one of the best servers in the state, the Wolf junior was fury unleashed.

And now, after helping lead the CHS spikers to their best season since 2004, McGranahan has been rewarded, being named the 1A Olympic League MVP.

She was one of five Wolves hailed by league coaches Wednesday, with Cory Whitmore being tabbed Coach of the Year and teammates Hope Lodell and Valen Trujillo earning First Team All-League honors.

Lauren Rose was also tabbed as an Honorable Mention pick.

The future looks bright for Coupeville, as well, as the league champs were the only school to have a non-senior honored in the first group.

McGranahan, who threw down 91 kills, 14 blocks, 134 service points and 62 aces and Lodell, who notched 75 kills, 137 digs, 187 service points and 110 aces, are juniors.

Trujillo closed her career with 195 digs (giving her a school record 550), 348 service returns, 35 aces and 94 service points.

Rose, a junior setter, recorded 192 assists and garnered 132 service points and 35 aces with a team-best 92.7% serving percentage.

The Wolves went 11-6 overall, 8-1 in league play under Whitmore, who is in his first season as head coach.

The complete list of winners:

Coach of the Year: Cory Whitmore, Coupeville

Team Sportsmanship: Chimacum

Most Valuable Player: Katrina McGranahan, Jr., Coupeville

Defensive MVP: Nicole Mills, Sr., Klahowya

1st Team All-League:

Valen Trujillo, Sr., Coupeville

Hope Lodell, Jr., Coupeville

Jessica Carlson, Sr., Klahowya

Ashley Sharp, Sr., Klahowya

Taylor Carthaum, Sr., Chimacum

Shanya Nisbet, Sr., Chimacum
