They’re young, but ready to win now.

Sparked by goals from freshman Tamsin Ward and 8th grader Lyla Grose, the Coupeville High School girls’ soccer squad toppled visiting Providence Classical Christian 2-1 Monday night in a prairie thriller.

The victory lifts the Wolves, whose program was shut down the past two seasons, to 2-6 heading into the final third of the regular season.

CHS travels to Lopez Island Thursday, before hosting Sultan Saturday at 6:00 PM. That will be Senior Night for Coupeville’s lone 12th grader, Frankie Tenore.

Facing off with Providence, the Wolves relied on their two biggest offensive weapons this season.

Grose banked in her third goal of the campaign, while Ward found the back of the net for the eighth time.

The fab frosh, who played on a CHS co-ed squad last season as an 8th grader, is moving up the career scoring chart at a frantic rate.

With those eight goals, Ward already sits in a tie with Wolf grads Sophie Martin and Sage Renninger as the #7 scorer in Coupeville girls’ soccer history.

With the majority of their prep pitch careers still ahead of them, Ward and Grose are chasing Mia Littlejohn (35), Kalia Littlejohn (33), Genna Wright (20), Lindsey Roberts (17), Ayden Wyman (13), and Avalon Renninger (12) on the all-time list.

The events change, the dogs change (sometimes), but the level of excellence achieved never wavers.

Coupeville High School grad Gabriella Gebhard has been operating at the top level in the dog showing world since day one, and nothing has changed.

The former Wolf, who breeds, grooms, and trains her own setters, continues to collect ribbons and accolades no matter where she competes.

Gebhard has been to the sport’s premium event, Westminster, more than once, and most recently attended the English Setter National Specialty events in Seattle.

She had multiple dogs in competition, including a young pup that she bred, Set’r Ridge’s Everlasting Promise.

Gebhard also worked with her first bred by male, Everest, as well as Atara, a veteran dam who claimed second place while currently pregnant.

Clip-clop go the footsteps, click-clack goes the camera.

Both Coupeville High School and Middle School hosted cross country meets at Fort Casey State Park last week, and intrepid photographer Julie Wheat was on hand to capture images from the action.

A pack of Wolves are living out their dreams of playing college sports this fall.

Coupeville grads are suiting up for football, volleyball, soccer, softball, and baseball teams across the state and the USA.

Madison McMillan (softball) and Landon Roberts (baseball) are involved in fall ball activities on the diamond at Edmonds College and Walla Walla College, respectively, while Nezi Keiper is anchoring the defense for an Edmonds women’s soccer squad which is 6-3-1.

Out on the gridiron, Marcelo Gebhard is suiting up at Lewis-Clark Valley College in Idaho, while Ben Smith is lining up for Lakeland University in Wisconsin.

Smith, a grad student, has racked up five tackles, a sack, and a quarterback hit in two games, while Gebhard’s team seemingly posts no stats on the internet, frustrating his hometown sports reporter.

Ben Smith checks in with his fan club president, mom Deb.

Back closer to home, former Wolf teammates Lyla Stuurmans and Mia Farris are slated to oppose each other for the first time as college rivals this Friday, Oct. 10, when Skagit Valley College hosts Whatcom College.

Stuurmans has played in 19 matches for an SVC squad which sits at 11-10 on the season and is filling up the stat sheet just like she did back in her days at CHS.

The always highlight reel-worthy hitter has compiled 110 kills, 53 digs, 31 block assists, 17 service aces, five solo blocks, and 147.5 points.

Farris, living up to her high school nickname of “Mia the Magnificent,” continues to soar high as one of three Whatcom spikers to have played in all 16 of her team’s matches.

Keaton and Vivian’s lil’ sis is a perpetual powerhouse, popping for 46 kills, 23 aces, 113 digs, eight assists, seven block assists, and 73.5 points.

She’s #1 on her team in digs and sets played (52) and #2 in aces.

Mark your calendars.

The high school volleyball squads from Coupeville and La Conner will join together Thursday, Oct. 16 to help raise awareness (and money) for the fight against cancer.

Wolf players and coaches are asking fans to wear pink that night and those in the mood can make a financial donation through the QR code shown in the photo above.

There’s also a fairly substantial rumor candy will be tossed into the stands by CHS spikers. So, a win-win for anyone with a hankerin’ for a bit of early Halloween action.
