Spiker ace captures coach’s big day

Valen (Trujillo) Printz joins Coupeville volleyball coaches Cory Whitmore (left) and Cris Matochi on their wedding day.

“The day was so special.”

When Coupeville volleyball gurus Cory Whitmore and Cris Matochi eloped last summer, the intimate affair included one of their former players.

Valen (Trujillo) Printz, who starred on the court for the Wolves from her libero position, is now dazzling folks as a photographer, and she and husband Hunter joined the Wolf coaches for their romantic getaway.

“The location was amazing, the weather was incredible, we were surrounded by our closest family and friends doing exactly what we enjoy doing,” Whitmore said.

“But it was made that much more special to have Valen there as a part of our big day!”

From chasing down wayward volleyballs to documenting her coach’s wedding day, the former Wolf ace has been indispensable.

“Valen and Hunter are so wildly talented and a blast to be around,” Whitmore said.

“I really love being able to say that we had our wedding photos taken by a former player of mine!

“She not only captured the moment in photographs but I’m telling you, she captured the feeling of being there.

“I am so very proud of her, finding a passion to make into a career, and she is damn good at what she does.”

A little home cooking, a little far-flung adventure.

Coupeville High School basketball teams have a split schedule in the week ahead, starting at home and finishing on the road.

The Wolves host Concrete Tuesday, with both varsity teams and the girls’ JV suiting up, while the second boys’ squad has the night off.

Then, come Friday, all four CHS squads hit the road for a trip to Orcas Island.

With the regular season entering the stretch run, wins and losses are at a premium for everyone, but especially for varsity teams fighting for playoff positioning.

Where things sit through Jan. 19:

 

Northwest League boys’ basketball:

School League Overall
MV Christian 5-0 7-6
La Conner 4-1 7-8
Coupeville 3-2 4-10
Friday Harbor 2-3 2-11
Concrete 1-3 5-9
Darrington 1-4 6-8
Orcas Island 1-4 3-11

 

Northwest League girls’ basketball:

School League Overall
MV Christian 5-0 11-2
Concrete 3-1 11-3
La Conner 3-1 6-8
Coupeville 3-2 6-7
Friday Harbor 1-3 2-11
Orcas Island 1-4 8-8
Darrington 0-5 4-8

The season was a success.

While a return trip to state evaded the Coupeville High School competition cheer squad this season, the Wolves left it all on the mat.

An appearance at the Last Chance Qualifier in Yelm Saturday brought an end to the run for CHS, but coach Jennifer Morrell exited with head held high.

“We did not qualify for state this year, but we learned a lot,” she said.

“They are already planning next year’s routine.”

Coupeville, a small school competing against much larger institutions, beat the other 2B team in its category both of the last two weeks.

Saturday that was Chief Leschi, while last week it was Forks.

The Wolves also had wins over bigger schools this year, including knocking off 2A Kingston in December.

Jump chucked the shot put 27 feet, 05.50 inches, while lobbing the weight throw implement a sturdy 41-00.25.

Balanced attack spurs league victory

Balance beat brilliance.

Darrington’s Hunter Anderson went off for a game-high 30 Friday on his home floor, but the Coupeville High School varsity boys’ basketball team had the answer.

Getting points from all nine players to hit the court, the Wolves held the Loggers at bay, heading back to the bus with a 63-51 victory.

The road win lifts Brad Sherman’s squad to 3-2 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 4-10 overall.

It also keeps them solidly in possession of third place in the seven-team conference at the midway point of the 10-game league schedule.

Heading into a week where it will host Concrete Tuesday, then travel to Orcas Island Friday, Coupeville sits a game back of La Conner (4-1) and two off of front-runner Mount Vernon Christian (5-0).

Camden Glover, netting a free throw here, was one of nine Wolves to score Friday.

Balance was the name of the game Friday, as CHS jumped out to an 18-7 lead after one quarter, with five different players rattling the rim for points.

From there the Wolves steadily built up their lead, pushing the advantage to 37-23 at halftime, then 52-35 through three frames.

Chase Anderson led Coupeville with a team-best 16 points, pushing himself to the cusp of a personal milestone.

The Wolf junior heads home with 497 points stashed in the career bank, just a three-ball away from becoming the 51st CHS boy to crack the 500-point club for a program which started play back in 1917.

The Battlin’ Bronec Brothers provided key support against Darrington, with Hurlee banking in 13 and Hunter knocking down 10, while Jack Porter netted eight points.

Landon Roberts (5), Johnny Porter (4), Camden Glover (4), Malachi Somes (2), and Davin Houston (1) also scored for Coupeville in the road win.
