It’s all gravy from here on out.

Regular season play is over for spring sports teams, with those squads left standing busy with postseason work now.

For Coupeville, three of four teams are still alive.

While baseball failed to make the playoffs, both Wolf softball and girls’ tennis are off to their district tourneys Thursday, May 15, to play for berths at the state championships.

The sluggers go to Mount Vernon, while the netters travel to Seattle for those events.

Two days after that, the CHS track team hosts the district meet, the last stop before its own hoped-for trip to state.

With everyone knee-deep in the playoffs, this also marks our final league standings story for the 2024-2025 school year.

They know her name and her game.

Scout Smith, a 2020 Coupeville High School grad who led the Wolves to the state tournament as a player, will be the next varsity head coach of the spiker program.

The hire, which was confirmed by CHS Athletic Director Brad Sherman, will be official once approved by the school board.

Smith, a record-setting setter in her playing days, replaces the man who coached her, Cory Whitmore, who stepped down in April after nine seasons at the helm.

Under his leadership the Wolves won 106 matches (even with one season reduced in half by the pandemic) and went to state three times, earning a 4th place trophy this past fall.

Smith was a sophomore on Whitmore’s first state team in 2017 and also played basketball and softball for the Wolves.

Coming off of two stellar seasons of middle school sports, Smith had an immediate impact in her very first high school contest.

Taking the court as a volleyball player, she burnt Mount Vernon Christian to a crisp, reeling off 27 points on her serve, including 18 straight winners at one point.

Smith eventually made it to state in two of her three sports, was a captain in all of them, captured several All-League honors and was voted a CHS Athlete of the Year winner as a senior.

After high school, she earned degrees from the University of Washington and Gonzaga and has been working as a substitute teacher in Coupeville.

Smith, whose dad Chris and brothers CJ and Hunter have all coached at CHS, was a volunteer assistant with the Wolf volleyball program and is the current girls’ basketball JV coach.

As she prepares for her debut as the varsity volleyball coach, the school will need to build her a staff, as Whitmore, high school JV coach Ashley Menges, and middle school spiker gurus Cris Matochi and Kristina Hooks all recently stepped down.

Tate Wyman showed up and showed out Friday in Oregon. (Photo courtesy Amber Wyman)

He’ll rest tomorrow.

Coupeville grad Tate Wyman had a busy, and productive Friday, competing in three track and field events almost at the same time at the Cascade Collegiate Conference Outdoor Championships.

Wyman, now a sophomore at Oregon Tech, bounced between the 4 x 100 relay, the long jump, and the 110 hurdles while vying at Southern Oregon University in Ashland.

Literally.

The former Wolf ran in the relay, zipped over and did two jumps, rambled off to run the hurdles, then returned to finish his field event.

And how did he do while ping-ponging around?

Pretty dang good, as Wyman nabbed three top five finishes and two PRs before he was done.

Ayden and Devon’s big bro finished 3rd in the long jump, sailing 22 feet, 5.75 inches, beating his previous collegiate best.

He also set a PR in the hurdles, claiming 4th in 15.75 seconds, while running a leg on a relay team which earned 5th in 42.31.

The oldest of the Wyman siblings is continuing a run of excellence, as he was a top cross country runner and track athlete before graduating in 2023 from Coupeville High School.

She finished at the highest level.

Former Coupeville superstar Savina Wells capped her high school sports career Friday, competing in two events at the FHSAA Class 2A State Track and Field Championships in Jacksonville, Florida.

The younger sister of CHS grads Ulrik and Izzy is a senior at Fernandina Beach High School.

Coming off of a pair of third place finishes at regionals May 2 in Pensacola, Savina was in the mix for javelin and high jump glory at the state meet.

She opened Friday by chucking her javelin 94 feet, one inch.

Wells, who earned an 8th place medal at state in the high jump as a junior, wasn’t able to repeat as a senior, but exits holding Fernandina’s school record.

She cleared the bar at five feet, three inches in March.

Before moving to Florida with her family after her freshman year, Lyle and Katy’s daughter was a vibrant part of a tight-knit, talented group of young women who played multiple sports in Coupeville.

She was a standout from preschool on, eventually playing two years of varsity basketball for CHS, including being a starter as just an 8th grader.

On the softball diamond, Savina was a catcher for the varsity team as a freshman, hauling in pitches from her big sis.

During her time at Fernandina, she has played volleyball, basketball, and track and field.
