We’re under a month to the year’s biggest shindig, and tickets are going fast.

But they are still available, if you act now.

The event in question is the Coupeville Booster Club’s annual dinner and auction extravaganza, which is set for Saturday, Nov. 8.

All the info you need can be found in this photo:

And why support the Booster Club? Well, as I wrote once or twice before:

The boosters are the backbone of Wolf sports, making life easier for coaches, athletes, and admins.

The group annually awards eight $1,000 scholarships to graduating seniors, while also providing a yearly stipend to high school and middle school sports programs.

The boosters also provide roses for Senior Night festivities, varsity letters for Wolf athletes, meal money and goodie bags for road trips, and numerous team improvement items.

These have ranged from literature and DVDs to tarps, weight room equipment, batting cages, upgrades to school athletic fields and facilities, and t-shirts for cancer awareness nights.

Plus, the Wall of Fame in the CHS gym, which documents accomplishments from 100+ years of Coupeville athletics?

It wouldn’t exist without the support of the boosters, who provided the biggest financial contribution to its development, and continue to handle updates.

“We made them work for it”

Gotta stare down the big dogs.

Mount Vernon Christian has a rich tradition on the soccer pitch and is annually one of the best in the region.

But that doesn’t mean a young, scrappy Coupeville High School boys’ squad has to give in easily to the Hurricanes.

So, while CHS fell 8-1 at MVC Wednesday, the game was much more hotly contested than the score might have indicated.

“In the first half we held them off,” said Wolf coach Jim Kunz. “MVC let us and the refs know that they were annoyed.

“It seemed like they thought it would be an easy win. We made them work for it.”

The Hurricanes “pumped up their physicality and scoring efforts” in the second half, pulling away a bit, which caused “a frustrated CHS (to) start reverting to old tactics of double teaming and booting the ball.”

But even in a loss, Jim Kunz saw positives.

“Despite the score I’m happy with the progression I’m seeing out of this young team,” he said. “They had a change in coaching, a number of seniors graduated, and no seniors this year.

“Considering that we’re playing much better than I assumed.”

Now sitting at 1-2 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 3-6 overall, Coupeville got its lone goal off the foot of Edmund Wilson, with an assist going to Edmund Kunz.

It was Wilson’s team-leading fourth score of the campaign, and the 30th scored by his family, as older bothers Aidan and Cael tallied 13 goals apiece during their days in red and black.

The Wolves return to action this Friday, playing under the lights at Coupeville’s Mickey Clark Field.

Grace Academy is the foe, kickoff is set for 6:00 PM, and admission is free.

Sam Richards will defend his home goal Friday night.

The Wolves want your help to spike cancer.

Coupeville High School’s volleyball teams host La Conner Thursday (JV 5:00 PM, varsity 6:30), and the net crew are putting together a Dig Pink Cancer Awareness event at the same time.

The spikers are asking fans to wear pink if possible and donate to help fund cancer research through WhidbeyHealth.

You can donate in person or by using the QR code in this photo:

There will also be a goody table at the event, featuring beaded necklaces, bracelets, pins, and rubber ducks, while players will be lobbing candy into the stands.

“We learn and look forward”

They’re learning under fire.

The Coupeville High School varsity volleyball squad has a huge target on its back, coming off an undefeated run to a Northwest 2B/1B League title, and eventual 18-2 finish and 4th place trophy at state.

But thanks to graduation, these Wolves are also largely not the same Wolves that achieved those feats last year.

Instead, Scout Smith’s current squad is a young team with great promise, but one where most of its main players are making their varsity debuts.

And they’re getting there, while absorbing some losses along the way.

Tuesday, the Wolves picked up more hard-earned knowledge, falling in four sets at Mount Vernon Christian, in a match they controlled early, but couldn’t dominate all night.

The 16-25, 25-15, 25-15, 25-17 loss drops Coupeville to 1-6 in league play, 3-7-1 overall, heading into a Thursday night home rumble with La Conner.

That night the Wolves will also hold their annual Dig Pink event, honoring the fight against breast cancer.

While CHS fell at MVC, Smith embraced the positives.

“Really loved the leadership demonstrated by our sophomore setter, Tenley (Stuurmans),” she said. “Throughout all four sets she was doing her utmost to keep her teammates in the game and locked in and positive.

“Sydney (Van Dyke) (also) did a great job stepping up when her number was called.

“Overall, we learn and look forward to La Conner.”

 

Tuesday stats:

Haylee Armstrong — 6 kills, 8 digs, 4 aces
Teagan Calkins — 10 kills, 6 digs, 1 assist, 3 aces
Ari Cunningham — 2 digs, 1 assist, 1 solo block, 1 block assist
Lexis Drake — 2 kills, 1 dig
Adeline Maynes — 2 digs, 2 aces
Dakota Strong — 3 kills, 1 dig, 1 assist
Tenley Stuurmans — 1 kill, 6 digs, 18 assists, 1 solo block, 1 block assist, 2 aces
Sydney Van Dyke — 1 dig

 

JV nipped:

Coupeville’s high-flying second unit, which has the best record of any fall sports team at the school, suffered a rare loss, falling 26-24, 25-16, 3-15.

The defeat dips the Wolves to 4-2 in league play, 6-3 overall and gives the Hurricanes a bit of revenge after CHS won the first meeting between the two JV squads.

 

Tuesday stats:

Willow Leedy-Bonifas — 6 digs, 1 assist, 3 aces
Olivia Martin — 1 ace
Isa Mc Fetridge — 2 kills, 2 digs, 1 ace
Kennedy O’Neill — 2 kills, 2 digs
Cassandra Powers — 2 kills, 1 dig, 3 aces
Chelsi Stevens — 1 kill, 1 dig, 3 aces
Sydney Van Dyke — 4 kills, 1 dig, 2 assists, 6 aces

Well, guess you’re not mowing that lawn after all.

This Saturday’s Coupeville High School home football game against Adna, which will feature a Junior Cheer performance at halftime, has been bumped forward two hours.

Originally slated to kickoff at 5:00 PM, now things will get underway at 3:00.

The non-conference clash will pit a 1-5 Coupeville squad coming off a huge 35-6 win over next-door neighbor South Whidbey against an Adna team riding a three-game winning streak and sitting at 4-2.

It marks only the second time this season the Wolves have laced it up against a fellow 2B school, with CHS having played five of six against 1A rivals.
