She’s off to Japan.

New military duty for her husband will take Coupeville High School girls’ soccer coach Jasmine Ader out of the country.

The pitch guru, who has led the Wolves the past two seasons, has tendered her resignation.

She leaves the program in a good place, having taken the lead on bringing girls soccer back from exile in her time at the school.

When Ader arrived, the CHS girls pitch program had been shut down for two seasons due to a lack of players, with a handful of players joining the Wolf boy’s roster.

In her first season as head coach, Coupeville relaunched with just one senior, Frankie Tenore, and a strong pack of 8th and 9th graders.

The Wolves went 4-7-1 with eight players scoring, then doubled that this season, getting goals from all 16 players on the roster during a 7-5-3 season in which they were in the fight for a playoff spot until the final week.

All 16 of those players can return next season, as this year’s squad has no 12th graders.

The path is set.

After a lot of paper shuffling, and a few lead-in games, the bracket for the District 1/2/3/4 boys’ soccer tournament is all filled in, with 10 teams left to compete for six tickets to state.

You can see that bracket right here:

WPA Network Bracket Index

Coupeville, which is 8-5-1, opens by “hosting” a loser-out game Friday at 2:00 PM at Oak Harbor High School against Puget Sound Adventist Academy.

The Sharks, who are based out of Kirkland, sit at 7-7 on the season

Win Friday and the Wolf booters advance to the double-elimination portion of the tourney and face two-time defending state champ Orcas Island, who they held scoreless for 72 minutes in the regular season finale before falling 3-1.

That game is set for November 3 at Anacortes High School, with kickoff time to be announced.

Once in the double elimination part of districts, the Wolves would be one win away from advancing to state for the first time since 2010.

After not having to pay to watch soccer during the regular season, you do have to pony up for the playoffs.

But cash, the legal tender of the USA, won’t work, as the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association has a deal with Go Fan which requires you to pay digitally.

You can do that in person when you arrive at the game, or in advance at:

They built for success, spike by spike, set by set.

The Coupeville High School JV volleyball squad, which wrapped its season with a win Tuesday, showed steady improvement under coach Alita Blouin.

The proof was in the record, where the young Wolves captured seven wins in their final 10 matches.

And it was there on the floor, where they played with increasing confidence.

The future is bright for the rising spikers, many of whom are captured in the pics seen above and below.

On to the reunion.

Coupeville grads Lyla Stuurmans and Mia Farris were both in action on college volleyball courts Wednesday night, playing in matches that are the lead-ins to the former Wolves squaring off Friday in Mount Vernon.

The duo, who led the CHS spikers to a 4th place finish at the 2B state tourney as seniors, are now sophomores at Skagit Valley College and Whatcom College, respectively.

The Cardinals, who are 13-10 after falling to Edmonds Wednesday, host the Orcas Friday, who are 9-16 after losing to Everett.

It will be the fourth matchup at the college level for the former Wolf Athlete of the Year winners, with Farris and Whatcom leading 2-1 in the series after winning the first go-round earlier this season.

Wednesday night both SVC and Whatcom ran into high-flying opponents, with the Cardinals coming out on the short end of a 28-26, 25-14, 25-22 score.

Meanwhile the Orcas battled hard in a 29-27, 20-25, 25-16, 25-22 defeat.

Stuurmans picked up four kills, three assists, four service aces, three digs, and eight points, while Farris filled the stat sheet with a kill, two assists, and a match-high 23 digs.

On the season, Stuurmans has 141 kills, 14 assists, 23 aces, 210 digs, eight solo blocks, 34 block assists, and 189 points.

Farris has tallied 37 kills, 38 assists, 47 aces, 345 digs, two solo blocks, a block assist, and 86.5 points.
