Middle school mania is on the horizon.

Coupeville 6th, 7th, and 8th graders kick off fall sports with the arrival of September, with cross country starting practice on the first day of the month and volleyball getting underway on the 9th.

The Wolf harriers, who run four of their eight meets on Whidbey — two at Camp Casey, two in Langley — are coached by Amber Wyman, who returns full of enthusiasm.

For the spikers, the hunt for coaches is ongoing and this is your moment to seize the spotlight.

Big wins, bold future

They left their mark on the big city.

Playing with a fiery passion Monday, the Coupeville Middle School volleyball squads swept two matches in Everett from private school foes.

Knocking off host Northshore Christian Academy twice, the Wolves nabbed their first W’s of the season, kicking off a busy final week.

How the day played out:

 

Level 1:

Everything was clicking for the Wolves during a 25-13, 25-11, 15-7 win.

“The players were finally executing the things that we have been working on really hard at practice,” said CMS coach Cris Matochi.

“Our passing was much more efficient, and we were able to use our offense,” he added.

“Our serving was by far the best we have served this season.”

Cassie Powers and Rhylee Inman paced the team with three kills apiece, while Emma Leavitt was a service machine, ripping off a team-high 13 aces.

Cameron Van Dyke (7), Kennedy O’Neill (3), Inman (1), and Powers (1) also tallied aces, as Coupeville controlled the match from the line.

The Wolves got big contributions from everyone, with Zariyah Allen (five digs) and Laurel Crowder (two kills) also earning praise.

“Zariyah has grown into a fantastic libero and she gets better every time she steps on the court,” Matochi said.

“Laurel also had a fantastic match,” he added.

“It is so impressive to see such a young player not being intimidated and playing at that level.”

With five matches down and three left to play, Matochi is thrilled to see his young charges show continued growth.

“I am so proud of our teams today,” he said.

“It was so good see them have confidence and realize how much potential they have.”

 

Level 2:

Fierce serving sparked the Wolves to a 25-20, 25-20, 4-15 victory.

“This was our first win of the season and Cris, the girls, and I were pretty excited,” said Wolf coach Kristina Hooks.

Leavitt, Crowder, and Annabelle Cundiff peppered their rivals with nasty serves, while Scarlett Spencer, Olivia Martin, and Emily Rains had “some amazing passing tonight.”

“It’s Emily’s first year playing and I’m really excited to see how her skills progress,” Hooks said.

 

Level 3:

Northshore only had two teams, so Coupeville’s third squad had the day off.

 

Next up:

Coupeville hits the road twice more this week, jetting off to Sultan Wednesday, Oct. 16, then trekking to Granite Falls the next afternoon for a rescheduled match.

The season comes to a close at home the following Monday, Oct. 21, when CMS hosts South Whidbey in a clash between next-door neighbors.
