Wolf netters battle Blazers to tie

It was a different twist on a match.

Playing in Seattle Wednesday against The Bush School, the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis team battled to a 3-3 tie in a bout comprised of mini-rumbles.

The host Blazers opted to play cut-down sets to three points, win by one, as opposed to the normal play to six, win by two.

Still, that gave Coupeville a chance to get court time, so valuable as new coaches Tim Stelling and Starla Seal guide a small squad in need of experience.

Next up for the Wolves, who are on a season-long road trip as new courts are built at CHS, is a trek to Friday Harbor this Friday, April 26.

 

Wednesday’s results:

1st Singles — Tenley Stuurmans beat Siobhan O’Malley 3-2, 3-0

2nd Singles — Skylar Parker lost to Vivienne Hunter 3-2, 3-2

1st Doubles — Brynn Parker/Kaitlyn Leavell lost to Trianna Luu/Kylee Joh 3-2, 3-0

2nd Doubles — Kauri Hamilton/Sofia Phay lost to Nicola Lombardi/Karitas Johannes 2-1, 1-2, 3-2

3rd Doubles — Delanie Lewis/Rafaela Silva De Campos Conceicao beat Avery Mai-Loi/Eva Vega 0-3, 3-1, (7-1 tiebreaker)

4th Doubles — Stuurmans/B. Parker beat Amelie Paysero/Lily Anderson 3-0, 3-1

They’re out there, if you look hard enough.

With their home stomping grounds out of service this spring as new courts are built, Coupeville High School netters are on a season-long road trip.

But enterprising yearbook photographers tracked down their fellow Wolves playing at South Whidbey, and the pics above and below come to us courtesy them.

Net crew gains valuable experience

Some days are more about growth, and less about wins and losses.

Friday was one of those afternoons, as two high school tennis programs in very different places found a way to meet in the middle.

Granite Falls has more than twice as many students as Coupeville, and that carries over to its net program, where the Tigers have 24 girls wielding rackets.

The Wolves, who have brand new coaches and no home matches on the schedule as they wait for new courts to be built, have eight players.

And one of those netters was MIA Friday as the two teams dodged rain drops and played a different format than normal.

To give Granite Falls a chance for both its varsity and JV to see action, Coupeville’s players each squared off with two opponents, playing a set apiece instead of the normal best two-of-three.

While keeping the Tigers busy, the format also allowed a very-young Wolf squad to get plenty of court time.

“It was more of a coaching style match to help our newer players to tennis get more comfortable playing more of a variety of opponents,” said CHS assistant coach Starla Seal.

Along the way, the Wolves captured their first wins of the season, with 8th grader Tenley Stuurmans and sophomore Brynn Parker standing tall.

 

Friday’s results:

1st Singles — Tenley Stuurmans lost to Giorgia Felizzuni 6-2; beat Gola Paolikova 6-0

2nd Singles — Brynn Parker lost to Samantha Hagman 6-3; beat Audrey Vanwinkle 6-1

3rd Singles — Kaitlyn Leavell lost to Hailey Granger 6-2; lost to Samantha Hagman 6-4

1st Doubles — Stuurmans/Parker beat Luanne Thurston/Vanwinkle 6-1; beat Ari Dimitrova/Alisha Wright 6-3

2nd Doubles — Kauri Hamilton/Sofia Phay lost to Dimitrova/Ava Combs 6-0; lost to Brooke Mann/Marjorie Garcia 6-1

3rd Doubles — Delanie Lewis/Rafaela Silva De Campos Conceicao lost to Ashlee Meusling/Wright 6-0; lost to Mann/Garcia 6-2; lost to Hailey Grangley/Yolanda P. 6-3

They’re making do with a limited roster.

The Coupeville High School girls’ tennis team only has eight players this season, and through the first two matches, the Wolves have yet to field a full lineup.

Friday afternoon brought the CHS road warriors to Friday Harbor, where they were without Skylar Parker and Kaitlyn Leavell, who played first and second singles in the season’s opening match.

Moving people around, and welcoming the debut of Tenley Stuurmans, Delanie Lewis, and Sofia Phay, Coupeville put up a spirited fight in a 4-0 loss.

The defeat drops the Wolves to 0-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 0-2 overall.

CHS, which is playing all 10 of its matches away from home this season as new tennis courts are built, returns to action Mar. 22 with a trek to the wilds of Granite Falls.

 

Friday’s results:

1st Singles — Brynn Parker lost to Georgia Keune 6-0, 6-2

2nd Singles — Tenley Stuurmans lost to Ava Martin 6-2, 6-4

1st Doubles — Delanie Lewis/Rafaela Silva De Campos Conceicao lost to Norah Leighton/Ava Gamez 6-2, 6-1

2nd Doubles — Kaurie Hamilton/Sofia Phay lost to Charisse Ho/Josephine Lane 6-3
