Peg Tennant left an indelible mark

Peg Tennant was a feisty one.

And I mean that in the best way possible.

As a longtime drama club advisor/coach in the Coupeville School District, as the driving force behind two farmer’s markets, even as a customer at Videoville and Miriam’s Espresso, Peg impacted numerous lives in our town.

If she liked you, she would be your biggest supporter.

But if you didn’t give her students or her farmers the respect they deserved, she had no qualms about calling you out and giving you a brisk talking-to.

After which you generally realized she was probably right.

I always got along with her, probably because the first time she told me, “I don’t care if it’s called Coupeville Sports, you can dang well cover the theatre as well,” I agreed with her.

She retired from the local schools in 2017, and we ran this piece:

A bow, then a graceful exit!!

 

Now, word has reached us that Peg passed away earlier this year. She will be missed.

 

From her family:

Margot Elizabeth “Peg” Tennant was born on March 22, 1955, in Pensacola, Florida and died on February 16, 2026 at Soundview Rehab in Anacortes after a protracted illness.

Peg was preceded in death by her parents, Lt Cdr (USN) William Tennant, and Dorothy Tennant.

She is survived by her son, Alexander Tennant-Jayne of Coupeville, WA, sister Kate Rogers of Greenbank, WA, sister Barbara Tennant of Twisp, WA, and brother-in-law Miller Batson, also of Twisp, as well as nephews Bradley Rogers and wife, Sharon, Kirkland, Tom Rogers and wife, Sarah, Boise, ID, Noah Batson, Twisp, and Nathaniel Batson, Bellingham, WA.

Peg was a long-term resident of Coupeville and a passionate celebrant of the arts.

She was the Drama Coach for Coupeville High School for 7+ years.

Peg was passionate about supporting local farmers, crafters, and artists.

She spent many years managing the local farmer’s markets in Coupeville and Oak Harbor, being onsite all day posting up signs and making sure the area was ready for market day.

Trio earn top honors

Build for the future, shine today.

Three Coupeville students impressed the judges at the state competition for SkillsUSA, showcasing their aptitude for vocational excellence.

CHS freshman Bettie Woolworth earned 1st place in Pin Design, while also being selected as a State Officer, while sophomore Max Ohme claimed 1st place in Motorcycle Service Technology.

Rounding out things was middle school ace Jonathyn Driscoll, who collected 2nd place in Pin Design.

Woolworth now advances to the national competition in June.

For Pin Design, each competitor created a pin and artwork while participating in an oral presentation to explain “how the pin represents their state, its unique qualities and why another SkillsUSA student or adult member would want to wear the pin.”

Ohme and his fellow motorcycle enthusiasts performed “tasks representative of those encountered in a dealership’s service department.”

This includes things such as electrical diagnostic work, precision measurement, brake service, and fuel delivery system inspection and repair.

SkillsUSA is a career and technical student organization serving more than 442,000 high school, college and middle school students across the country.

They rolled in, they rolled on the court, they rolled out.

Dominating the day, the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis squad swatted host Granite Falls 4-1 in Monday’s varsity rumble, then put a punctuation mark on things by sweeping the JV matches as well.

The non-conference victory lifts the Wolves to 3-3 on the season, with another road trip set for this Saturday.

CHS is slated to travel to Seattle that day for a tilt with private school power University Prep.

The Wolves are in the midst of a stretch where they will go nearly four weeks between home matches.

After playing three of their first four on the Cow Town courts, culminating in an April 3 match, the hardcourt aces don’t get to smack any winners in front of their home fans again until April 29.

 

Monday’s results:

 

Varsity:

1st Singles — Tenley Stuurmans won 8-0

2nd Singles — Milana Light won 8-0

1st Doubles — Dahlia Miller/Aleksia Jump lost 6-1, 6-3

2nd Doubles — Hailey Goldman/Hazel Goldman won 10-5

3rd Doubles — Kauri Hamilton/Jovanah Villagomez won 7-5

 

JV:

4th Doubles — Jade Peabody/Rowan Stoner won 8-5

5th Doubles — Savannah Coxsey/Miles Gerber won 9-7

6th Doubles — Annabelle Cundiff/Natalie Driscoll won 8-1

Wolf grads shine on college diamonds

Posted in Softball, Wolves in college, tagged , , , , , , on April 20, 2026| Leave a Comment »

Landon Roberts is back in black.

Give them their moment, and they’ll deliver.

Coupeville grads Landon Roberts and Madison McMillan are part of deep diamond rosters at Walla Walla College and Edmonds College, respectively, so neither former Wolf is playing full-time as a freshman.

But they’re drawing notice when they get the call.

Roberts is part of a pitching staff which has used 14 hurlers this season, but he’s appeared in four games, which puts him in the thick of things for a squad where no mound man has more than nine games to their credit.

His best performance came recently against Wenatchee Valley, where he came on in relief and picked up his first collegiate strikeouts, whiffing two of the four hitters he faced.

Madison McMillan (left) is pounding the softball.

McMillan, meanwhile, is part of an Edmonds squad which is streaking at 27-2 after sweeping a doubleheader against Shoreline Sunday.

The power-hitting third baseman picked up four hits, three runs, and a walk as the Tritons came out on top 26-2 and 20-0 in games mercy-ruled after five innings.

On the season McMillan has racked up a .394 batting average across 19 games, with 12 runs, 13 hits, three doubles, three home runs, 18 RBI, and seven walks.

Unofficially, she should be sitting with five taters but has twice had umps wave off moonballs due to team base-running technicalities.
