It’s the sound of spirit.

Coupeville High School cheerleaders remain among the hardest-working athletes in Wolf Nation, both on game day and at practice.

With road football games the next two weeks, it’ll be a bit before the spirit squad is back front and center at Mickey Clark Field.

But that time will come, with the Homecoming game Oct. 13 and Senior Night Oct. 27.

Until then, a photographic look at the Wolves in action.

Same field, different job.

Coupeville High School senior Andrew Williams spends a fair amount of time at Mickey Clark Field, usually helping lead the defensive charge for the Wolf soccer squad.

This time out, though, he’s on the other side of the camera, clicking away as his football-playing classmates get ready for their rumble with La Conner.

But hang around until the final photo, for a look at Williams himself.

Home cooking, flying feet

The rain stayed away, but the top times flowed down.

Putting three runners in the top seven Wednesday, the Coupeville High School boys’ cross country team defended its home turf at Fort Casey State Park, winning a six-team home meet.

Meanwhile, the Wolf girls, paced by another stellar performance from Noelle Western, pushed Mount Vernon Christian hard, with only nine points separating the two teams in the final tally.

Led by individual champ Evangeline Fikkert, the Hurricane girls finished with 23 points to Coupeville’s 32.

Noelle Western cruises to a 5th place finish.

On the boy’s side of things, the Wolves edged MVC 39-55, though the ‘Canes did have an individual winner in Isaac Betz.

Friday Harbor (73), Orcas Island (86), and Evangel Classical (98) rounded out the team standings.

Lummi Nation also sent runners but didn’t have a full squad.

All the Wolves come off the starting line at the same time.

Wednesday’s meet, the lone home event for Coupeville, played out on a redesigned course covering 5,000 meters.

With retired CHS track coach Randy King on hand to be the official race starter, things kicked off with a big rush, as the girls and boys competed at the same time.

With the weather cooperating, and Coupeville Middle School coach Amber Wyman stepping up to take the reins as race director, it made for a pleasant day all around.

“Great afternoon!!!,” said CHS harrier coach Elizabeth Bitting.

“So many compliments on the beautiful course, wonderful volunteers, shout out to the middle schoolers who stepped up and helped out. Can’t wait for them to run this course next season.”

Volunteers like Sherry Bonacci were invaluable to bringing off a successful meet.

With coaching duties calling to her, Bitting needed someone to run the race, and Wyman knocked it out of the park.

“This was very hard for me to do — give control of my baby to somebody else,” Bitting said with a laugh.

“But Amber is AMAZING and did GREAT!”

Coupeville returns to action this Saturday, Sept. 30, when it travels to the Cedarcrest Golf Course in Marysville for the 16th annual Twilight XC Invitational.

They’re headed home for a long stretch.

Fresh off a hard-fought loss at La Conner Tuesday night, the Coupeville High School JV volleyball squad gets five straight matches at home.

The Wolves, who have been playing with the minimum six players, five of whom are freshmen, return to action Tuesday, Oct. 3 against Friday Harbor.

After that comes tilts with Forks, Concrete, Mount Vernon Christian, and Providence Classical Christian.

Neither the Wolf varsity nor JV spikers have to play away from Coupeville again until Oct. 17.

Freshmen (l to r) Capri Anter, Myra McDonald, Dakota Strong, and Lexis Drake show great promise.

CHS fans who catch the JV squad (0-2 in league play, 1-4 overall) during their homestand will see a scrappy band of ballhawks who continue to fight hard even when giving up the advantage in terms of bodies on the bench.

While the wins may not have come as frequently as in the past, Wolf coach Ashley Menges has her squad on the upswing, teaching them to play with passion and courage.

 

Thursday stats:

Capri Anter — 2 kills, 7 digs, 8 aces
Haylee Armstrong — 3 kills, 1 dig, 2 assists, 2 aces
Lexis Drake — 3 kills, 1 ace
Chloe Marzocca — 9 digs, 2 assists, 4 aces
Myra McDonald — 2 digs, 1 assist
Dakota Strong — 1 kill, 4 digs

Haylee Armstrong and Co. play at home for the next three weeks.

The respect grows.

Coming off a win over pitch powerhouse Orcas Island, which has played in the state championship game in back-to-back seasons, the Coupeville High School boys’ soccer team is moving up in the rankings.

The Wolves, who were #9 among 2B/1B schools in the first RPI (Rating Percentage Index) list released by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, jump two slots to #7 a week later.

Coupeville, which is 3-1 heading into a Friday home showdown with Cedar Park Christian-Lynnwood (1-3), is the second-highest ranked public school.

Defending state champ Friday Harbor (3-1) sits at #4, while fellow Northwest 2B/1B rival Mount Vernon Christian (6-1-1) is #5.

After some shuffling, the current top three is comprised of Summit Atlas (3-0), Auburn Adventist (3-1), and Upper Columbia Academy (2-0).

Puget Sound Adventist (3-0) is #6, with Columbia Adventist (1-1), Rainier Christian School (2-1), and Riverside Christian (2-1) rounding out the top 10.

The NWL holds down slots #11-#14, with Orcas (3-3), Lopez Island (2-1), Providence Classical Christian (2-2), and La Conner (2-3), while CPC-Lynnwood is #19 and Grace Academy (0-4) #23.

While RPI is often hotly debated, it does have some value, as the WIAA uses it as part of its formula for seeding teams for state tournament play.
