They came ready to crack Concrete.

Roaring out of the gate Tuesday, the Coupeville High School JV volleyball squad obliterated the visiting Lions 25-3, 25-13, 25-13.

The sixth-straight win for the Wolf young guns, it lifts them to 5-0 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 8-1 overall.

Coupeville was relentless from the service stripe all night, piling up 36 aces, and the winners started flying early.

Katie Marti opened things with six quick points on her serve, Issabel Johnson dropped a couple of nasty offerings Concrete had no chance of hitting, and then Taylor Brotemarkle went to work.

The Wolf sophomore stepped to the line with a 10-2 advantage and ran the lead up to 20-2 in the span of about 17 seconds.

Concrete only managed to return one of Brotemarkle’s first 10 serves, and that brief rally was quickly crushed when Aby Wood delivered a spike winner at the net.

The Wolves closed the opening set with Grier Mooney peppering Concrete’s would-be serve returners, and the rout was on.

While the second and third set were closer than the first frame, Coupeville quickly regained control each time, earning a nod of approval from coach Ashley Menges.

Teagan Calkins and Jada Heaton each cracked gym-shaking winners while patrolling the net, while Johnson also brought the thunder when Concrete managed to briefly force a back-and-forth.

Menges got solid play from across her roster, with all 10 girls in uniform contributing.

Chloe Marzocca, Carly Burt, and Oktober Frost also saw action, with Marzocca thumping a dramatic service ace on her first swing at the line.

The league victory marked the start of a busy week for the Wolves, who travel to Mount Vernon Christian Thursday, then host non-league foe Neah Bay Saturday.

Tuesday stats:

Taylor Brotemarkle — 1 kill, 1 dig, 12 aces
Teagan Calkins — 3 kills, 1 dig, 4 aces
Jada Heaton — 4 kills
Issabel Johnson — 4 kills, 5 aces
Katie Marti — 2 kills, 13 assists, 10 aces
Chloe Marzocca — 1 kill, 1 ace
Grier Mooney — 4 aces
Aby Wood — 2 kills

Big effort, no breaks

Sometimes you get the breaks, and sometimes you don’t.

For the Coupeville High School boys soccer squad, Tuesday’s trip to Marysville was one of those days when the sports gods chose not to smile on the Wolves.

Despite getting strong play from across the roster, CHS came up on the short end of a 3-2 game with host Grace Academy.

The loss drops the Wolves to 1-2 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 3-5 overall.

“Three mistakes at the wrong time in the wrong area…,” said Coupeville coach Robert Wood.

“That’s what happens.”

Even with his team coming out on the short end of the score, Wood was largely pleased with the play he saw from his booters.

“Nick Guay was an excellent second half goalkeeper,” Wood said. “And we had very good, coordinated, disciplined play most of the day from everyone.”

Coupeville’s scores came from Preston Epp and Cole White, who both notched their third goals of the season.

Epp redirected a ball in the game’s 30th minute, taking advantage of a corner kick which bounced around and then came out to him.

For White, he put some pizazz on his goal, charging a high pass from deep in Coupeville’s end of the field, then using his noggin to flick the ball past the Grace Academy netminder, all while having a defender draped all over him.

The Wolves get back at it this Friday, heading back off of Whidbey one more time.

Coupeville’s destination is Friday Harbor, where they’ll get a rematch with a state title contender they shocked 3-1 earlier in the season.

The match that wasn’t, then was, then wasn’t, now is.

Having successfully navigated the world of tracking down refs at the last second, Coupeville High School Athletic Director Willie Smith has added a home volleyball match to the schedule.

It’s a non-conference affair set for Saturday, Oct. 15, Neah Bay is the opponent, and tip time is 2:00 for JV and 3:30 for varsity.

The match was originally added late last week, as CHS tried to fill a date or two that opened when other rumbles were cancelled.

A lack of available refs in the area seemingly squashed things, but the schools reached out to a different district and snagged officials, putting things back into play.

Coupeville’s varsity is currently 5-3, while Neah Bay sits at 7-1, with both teams set to play multiple matches this week.

Neah Bay’s only loss is to Forks, a squad Coupeville beat in a road match.

Our computer overlords favor us!

Rung by rung, we climb the ladder.

Fresh off a 48-6 drubbing of 2A Bellingham, the Coupeville High School football team jumps from #7 to #6 in the latest 2B overview from Evans Rankings.

Stats hound Matt Evans feeds his data into Newman, a diabolical computer likely bent on world domination, and it spits out its opinion every week.

After making a debut at #10 two weeks ago, the Wolves, who are 5-1, have climbed each week.

Coupeville’s next-door neighbor, 1A South Whidbey — the only team the Wolves have lost to this season — are ranked #8 among 1A schools.

And how does this compare to the RPI rankings compiled by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, which are “official?”

The WIAA has Coupeville at #8 in 2B and South Whidbey at #7 in 1A.

Personally, I prefer Newman, my favorite computer overlord.
