Feisty Eagles nip Wolf JV

Life moves pretty fast.

It was that way back in Ferris Bueller’s day, and it still holds true for high school sports teams.

Coming off of a big rivalry win Monday, the Coupeville High School JV volleyball team experienced a quick reversal of fortune, falling in three sets Tuesday at Bothell.

The 26-24, 19-25, 15-5 non-conference loss to Cedar Park Christian drops the young Wolves to 2-1 on the season.

“It was definitely a 180 from last night. We got a win on Monday, and we got a lesson tonight,” said Coupeville coach Ashley Menges.

“Playing back-to-back on the road is always hard, but sometimes you just have to do what’s given to you.”

The Wolves hung tough in the opening set, bounced back to claim the middle set, but ran out of steam at the end.

“I think we let a lot of outside issues affect our game tonight which is never fun,” Menges said.

“Communication and cohesion were our biggest problems, and our mental game was challenged tonight.

“It was our first test this season, where the third set decided win or lose, and I think it was good to be tested that early into the season, but it’s definitely something we’re all going to work on.”

 

Tuesday stats:

Taylor Brotemarkle — 1 dig
Carly Burt — 1 dig
Teagan Calkins — 6 kills, 1 dig
Jada Heaton — 5 kills, 1 dig, 1 ace
Issabel Johnson — 5 digs, 1 ace
Katie Marti — 1 kill, 14 assists, 2 aces
Chloe Marzocca — 1 kill, 4 aces
Madison McMillan — 4 kills, 12 digs, 3 aces
Grier Mooney — 3 digs, 3 aces
Aby Wood — 2 kills

Island rivalry plays out on the pitch

It was a bit lopsided.

The Coupeville High School girls soccer team scrapped and fought from the opening tap to the final whistle Tuesday but were eventually overwhelmed by their neighbors from the North.

By the time things were done, visiting Oak Harbor, a 3A school, had polished off the 2B Wolves to the tune of 9-0.

The non-conference loss, coming in its home opener, drops Coupeville to 0-2 on the season.

The Wolves get a chance to bounce right back however, with two more games this week.

CHS travels to University Prep Thursday, before hosting Ocosta Saturday.

The latter of those games is a 2 PM start at Mickey Clark Field.

Tuesday’s Island rivalry tilt was a scoreless affair for a good chunk of time, before Oak Harbor began to find and exploit the cracks in Coupeville’s defense, which spent much of the first half playing on its heels.

The Wildcats punched in the game’s first goal in the 10th minute, added two more in a seven-minute span, then blew things open with three scores in the final four minutes of the first half.

Coupeville was extremely limited in its scoring opportunities, making things easy-peasy for Oak Harbor goaltender (and former Wolf middle school star) Lauren Marrs.

The Wildcats tacked on three more goals in the second half, though Coupeville’s defenders, led by Nezi Keiper, continued to scrap for every loose ball.

While it’s tough for any 2B program to punch up three levels and face a 3A school, Coupeville coach Kyle Nelson was philosophical afterwards.

“It gave us a chance to go out and play, and get some solid playing time for our players, a lot of whom are fairly new,” he said.

“It helps us build.”

They’re on the board.

The Coupeville High School boys soccer squad became the final fall sports team to make its season debut, falling 6-1 Tuesday at Mount Vernon Christian.

The Wolf booters had an earlier game cancelled, pushing back their opener.

And while Coupeville lost to a tough Northwest 2B/1B League rival, it acquitted itself well.

“Great game and great play from everyone against a state contender,” said CHS coach Robert Wood.

“Gave them a chance to see the pace of play and skillset/accuracy needed to contend.”

Preston Epp holds off a pesky Hurricane.

Coupeville’s goal came courtesy Aidan Wilson, who smacked home a shot for an unassisted score.

“He wanted the ball more than the keeper,” Wood said.

It was Wilson’s fourth high school goal.

Coupeville has a chance to get a few more practices in, before its home opener Saturday, Sept. 17 against Cedar Park Christian-Lynnwood.

Kickoff is at noon at Mickey Clark Field, with the Wolf girls playing Ocosta at 2 PM in the second half of a doubleheader.

Admission is free for both games.

“I am the danger!”

Posted in Football, Wolves in college, tagged , , , , on September 13, 2022| 1 Comment »

Cue “Renegade.” Sean Toomey-Stout has arrived.

The Torpedo is blowing things up.

Coupeville grad Sean Toomey-Stout is the first former Wolf to ever record stats for the University of Washington football program.

As in, a program which launched in 1889, has won two national titles, and will play its 1,250th game this Saturday.

How did Toomey-Stout go from outrunning deer on the field in Cow Town to recording four tackles in his first two college games, which ranks him 10th on the current Huskies stat sheet?

Look at the photo above and let The Torpedo channel his inner Walter White.

Who are you talking to right now? Who is it you think you see?

No, you clearly don’t know who you’re talking to, so let me clue you in.

I am not in danger. I am the danger!

A guy opens his door and gets tackled and you think that of me?

No. I am the one who knocks!

Big brawl, narrow loss

It was a brawl on the hardwood.

In the first of two regular-season clashes between next-door neighbors, the South Whidbey High School varsity volleyball squad eked out a tough four-set win Monday, rallying to top visiting Coupeville.

The non-conference loss drops the Wolves to 1-1, though they’ll have an immediate chance to bounce back thanks to a Tuesday trip to Bothell to face Cedar Park Christian.

Coupeville came out strongly in Langley, winning the opening set 25-15.

After that, however, South Whidbey found a winning strategy, capturing the next three sets 26-24, 25-22, 25-17.

Which means, even in a loss, the Wolves were only outscored by three points, with the Falcons holding a 91-88 advantage at the end.

CHS coach Cory Whitmore is already looking ahead to the rematch in Coupeville, which arrives Oct. 1.

“I’m excited that we get another chance to face them again, and I know the girls are too,” he said.

Monday’s match started out as one thing, then took a detour, with the Wolves not quite able to get the car fully back on the road.

“We played lights out in the first set and let them crawl back into the game in the second,” Whitmore said. “With some untimely errors and them taking care of the ball, they overtook in the second.

“We fought hard and kept it competitive in the third set, but our four service errors and a few attacking errors gave them chances to keep their three-point lead on us.

“In the fourth we had a lot of fight but lost gas, as again, some serves and attacks that had worked all night, weren’t there.”

 

Stats:

Alita Blouin — 18 digs, 1 assist
Mia Farris — 12 kills, 1 ace, 2 block assists
Maddie Georges — 1 kill, 5 digs, 2 assists, 4 aces
Taygin Jump — 1 kill, 2 digs, 1 assist
Ryanne Knoblich — 2 kills, 9 digs, 4 aces
Katie Marti — 1 dig, 3 aces
Madison McMillan — 1 kill, 2 digs
Grey Peabody — 6 kills, 1 block assist
Jill Prince — 4 kills, 1 solo block, 2 block assists
Lyla Stuurmans — 3 kills, 6 digs, 1 ace, 1 solo block, 1 block assist
