He made his final moments count.

While Coupeville’s Landon Roberts is playing American Legion ball this summer, and hopes to continue his hardball adventures in college, Wednesday night put an official cap on his time as a high school baseball star.

The Wolf senior repped the red and black in the Northwest Senior Feeder Games in Anacortes, playing well on both sides of the ball.

The event, which featured a doubleheader at Alton R. Daniels Field, is one of the precursors to the All-State games in Yakima.

Roberts earned four innings of field time in each feeder game, patrolling right field in the opener and center field in the finale.

At the plate, the Wolf ace rapped a double off an Anacortes hurler.

In the field, he had plenty of time to enjoy the scenery, finally getting a ball sent his way at the very end.

Fielding it smoothly, Roberts pulled in the fly ball for the night’s final out, officially putting a stamp on his CHS diamond career.

The feeder games drew seniors from a wide range of schools in the region, with La Conner’s CJ Edwards being the only other player from the Northwest 2B/1B League.

South Whidbey (Sage Northup and Grady Davis) and Oak Harbor (Jayson Champignon and Brayden Rupp) also sent two players each to the hardball festivities.

Another honor for the hardest-hitting volleyball spiker in Cow Town.

Coupeville High School senior Lyla Stuurmans, who was the Northwest 2B/1B League MVP this year, was tabbed as an All-State selection this week by the Washington State Volleyball Coaches Association.

The outside hitter was named to the 2B Second Team, joining players from schools such as Freeman, Adna, and Lind-Ritzville-Sprague.

Stuurmans racked up 200 kills, 22 solo blocks, 19 block assists, 113 digs, 30 service aces, and 16 assists during her final season in the red and black.

Coupeville (18-2) was undefeated until the final day of the season, won league and bi-district titles, and earned a program-best 4th place finish at the state tourney.

On the heels of being named to the All-State team, Stuurmans will sign a letter of intent to play volleyball for Skagit Valley College.

That is slated to happen Friday, Dec. 20 at 3:30 PM in the CHS gym foyer.

“It was a fun experience”

Posted in Volleyball, tagged , , , , on December 8, 2024| Leave a Comment »

Coupeville volleyball’s All-State contingent is (l to r) Cory Whitmore, Lyla Stuurmans, Katie Marti, Mia Farris, and Cris Matochi.

The most-successful season in Coupeville High School volleyball history ended Sunday with an explosion of joy.

Three Wolf seniors — Lyla Stuurmans, Katie Marti, and Mia Farris — played in the All-State game at Burlington-Edison High School, with their own coach, Cory Whitmore, calling the shots.

It was Coupeville’s deepest representation at the event, which makes sense.

The Wolves, who were undefeated to the final day of the season, went 18-2, won league and Bi-District titles and finished 4th at the state tourney.

Both the victories and the state finish were the best ever achieved by a CHS spiker team.

Sunday, Whitmore — with assistance from Cris Matochi — coached the Gray team in the 2B game, with his players joined by fellow spikers from schools such as Adna and Forks.

“It was a fun experience to be a part of, and I was honored to be asked,” Whitmore said.

The pride of 2B.

“Our team was full of outgoing personalities that blended well. Helps to have Coach Cris along to keep things especially fun.”

With a large collection of Wolf fans and family members making the trip to the mainland, the Wolf trio shined in the big spotlight.

“Both Katie and Mia did really well, and I know if Lyla had been feeling better, she would have done great as well!” Whitmore said.

“I’m proud of how they represented our program, and it was fun to see how many made the drive over in support.

“That was really special, and a testament of what this team has inspired this season.”

Coupeville always travels well.

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 noticed her.

Playing some of her best volleyball of the season over a 24-hour period last week, Coupeville High School spike sensation Mia Farris soared at the 2B state tourney.

The Wolf senior racked up 35 kills, 41 digs, eight service aces, a block assist, and a regular assist as CHS split four matches in Yakima and claimed a program-best 4th place trophy.

Now, “Mia the Magnificent” has been honored by being named to the Washington State Volleyball Coaches Association All-State Tournament Team.

She’s one of nine players selected at the 2B level, joining rivals from Manson, Freeman, Adna, Liberty (Spangle), and Colfax.

Stella Petersen, an outside hitter who led Manson to a second-straight state title, toppling unbeaten Adna in the final, was the MVP.

Coupeville went 18-2 this season, was undefeated until the final day of the season, and captured league and bi-district titles while being led by a stellar pack of seniors including Farris.
