She still rules the mat.

Her school season is over, but former Coupeville supernova Izzy LeVine is right back at it, with the start of freestyle wrestling.

And by right back at it, I mean right back at thumping fools and taking names.

Micky and Jae’s ever feisty lil’ sis was bumped up three weight classes for her freestyle opener, yet still went out and drilled everyone in her path, winning a title and making a loud statement.

Izzy, now a sophomore at Casteel High School, qualified for Arizona’s national team for the third straight year, while also punching her ticket to the US Marine Corps Nationals – the world’s largest youth wrasslin’ tourney.

“Super proud of her performance today!” said proud pops Sean.

It will be a return trip to Fargo for the LeVine family, as the youngest of Joline’s three mega-star daughters also competed at nationals a year ago.

One more award before the season is officially done.

Former Coupeville supernova Izzy LeVine, now a top-level high school grappler in Arizona, was named to the All-Chandler United School District girls’ wrestling team.

Micky and Jae’s lil’ sis, who placed fourth at the state meet during her sophomore season at Casteel High School, was honored as the best in the 126-pound class.

CUSD, the second-largest school district in Arizona, serves 43,000+ students from K-12 and boasts six high schools.

LeVine, who grew up haunting the ballfields and gyms in Cow Town before a family move plucked her from Whidbey prior to high school, went 47-5 during her most-recent season.

She won three of five matches at the state tourney, including a narrow loss to eventual state champ Brianna Reyes, a senior.

Both of her sisters, and dad Sean, are all members of the Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame, and mom Joline should probably be in there too.

Izzy LeVine took a chomp out of Arizona wrestling.

The Casteel High School sophomore, who grew up haunting the ballfields and gyms of Coupeville, claimed fourth place at the state wrestling meet Saturday in Phoenix.

Izzy, the rampaging “lil’ sis” of Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame inductees Micky and Jae LeVine, won three of five matches.

Competing in the 126-pound class, the tenacious one opened with two wins Friday, before losing a close one to eventual state champ Brianna Reyes, a senior.

LeVine bounced back Saturday during action at Veterans Memorial Coliseum, pinning her first foe before being edged out in the 3rd/4th place bout.

She finishes the high school season with a sterling 47-5 mark.

She’s heading back to the big dance.

Former Cow Town student Izzy LeVine, the last link in a family which includes three Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame inductees, qualified for the state wrestling tourney in Arizona for a second-straight season.

Micky and Jae’s rampaging lil’ sis finished second in her weight class at sectionals this past weekend, while her Casteel High School squad won a team title.

Izzy’s lone loss at the postseason rumble came in the final, where she faced the #2 ranked grappler in the state.

Overall, Casteel is sending eight wrestlers to state this season.

The cap to the high school mat campaign is Feb. 15-17 in Phoenix.

There be fools in Arizona.

Young women keep stepping to Coupeville alumni Izzy LeVine on the wrestling mat, and they keep ending up in the same place.

Face down, being pinned by the former Terror of Cow Town.

Izzy, younger sister of Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Famers Micky and Jae LeVine, now lives in a hotter climate, which matches her run as a grappler.

She’s now 39-2 on the season after sweeping four matches by pin at the She Devil Classic in Page, Arizona Saturday, claiming yet another tourney title.

Powered by LeVine, Casteel High School claimed a team title as well.

“I like the view from up here.”

The teen titan who spent her younger years collecting rocks for me at her older sister’s games has one dual meet left on the regular season schedule.

After that, postseason action begins, with a goal of making it to state.

Once high school grapplin’ wraps up, Sean and Joline’s youngest wild child heads out to begin her freestyle wrestling season.
