“The Franchise” is the MVP.
Coupeville High School senior Lyla Stuurmans has been hailed by Northwest 2B/1B League volleyball coaches as the top spiker in the conference after a memorable final run.
Stuurmans, who helped the Wolves reel off 18 straight wins, claim league and bi-district titles, and place 4th at state, was a stat-producing machine.
She paced CHS in kills (200), solo blocks (22), and block assists (19), while also collecting 113 digs, 30 service aces, and 16 assists.

Joining her as First-Team All-Conference picks were fellow seniors Mia Farris and Katie Marti, while junior Teagan Calkins was named a Second-Team honoree.
“Mia the Magnificent” put together a strong performance across the board, delivering 174 kills and 179 digs to go with 38 aces, five assists, three block assists, and one solo block.

Calkins smacked 194 kills, went low for 64 digs, and rifled 33 aces. She also had 15 block assists.

Senior Madison McMillan was tabbed for Honorable Mention status, while Wolf head man Cory Whitmore was the NWL Coach of the Year.
McMillan filled up the stat sheet with 77 kills, a team-best 194 digs, four block assists, 22 assists, and 46 aces.
Concrete received the Team Sportsmanship award.
As he surveyed the results of All-League voting, Coupeville’s coach was a happy man.
“I’m so proud of the girls,” Whitmore said.
“Not only are they incredible athletes, but they’re also wonderful young adults and have been an absolute pleasure and honor to coach and spend time with.
“No surprise they got noticed by the other coaches.”
