Wolf grads shine in college arena

Posted in Wolves in college, tagged CHS Wolves, Lyla Stuurmans, Mia Farris, Nezi Keiper, Soccer, volleyball on September 22, 2025| Leave a Comment »

Nezi Keiper, eternal superstar.

Nezi Keiper is still cracking’ heads and takin’ names.

The former Coupeville High School supernova, a star on the soccer pitch, football gridiron, and basketball hardwood, is busy playing her sophomore season for the Edmonds College women’s soccer team.

With Keiper anchoring the defense, the Tritons are off to a 3-3-1 start, with their next game coming up this Wednesday at Everett.

Overall, Edmonds has nine more games on the schedule, with the regular season finale set for Oct. 29.

Keiper was a First-Team All-Region honoree a year ago as a freshman, continuing a run of award-worthy performances.

And she’s not the only former Wolf shining at the next level. Some other updates:

Madison McMillan:

Fresh off celebrating her birthday, she recently made her debut with the Edmonds College softball team.

The freshman phenom and her new teammates faced off with NCAA D-II power Western Washington University in a 10-inning “situational scrimmage” in which the teams created different in-game scenarios.

McMillan, always hailed as a “Swiss Knife”-style player capable of holding down multiple positions, pulled time in left field, right field, and at third base.

She got two at-bats in the simulated game, and had several strong defensive plays including throwing out a runner who tried to tag up and score from third on a fly out.

Lyla Stuurmans:

A freshman at Skagit Valley College, she’s part of a Cardinal spiker squad which sits at 11-7 on the season.

Stuurmans, a former Northwest 2B/1B League volleyball MVP, has racked up 87 kills, 41 digs, 28 block assists, 16 service aces, and three solo blocks, accounting for 120 points.

Mia Farris:

The two-time CHS Female Athlete of the Year winner is a frosh at Whatcom College, where she leads the volleyball team with 94 digs.

Farris has also accumulated 38 kills, nine aces, seven block assists, six regular assists, one solo block, and 51.5 points.

Marcelo Gebhard and Ben Smith:

Two former Wolves are currently on college football rosters, with Gebhard a freshman at Lewis-Clark Valley in Idaho and Smith a senior at Lakeland University in Wisconsin.

They’re young, feisty, and full of potential

“There’s so much to learn.”

As she leads the revival of the Coupeville High School girls’ soccer program, first-year Wolf coach Jasmine Ader continues to impart pitch wisdom to her young players.

The Wolves, who sit at 1-4 on the season after a rough 9-0 loss Friday to powerhouse Mount Vernon Christian, will spend the first part of this week working hard in practice.

The payoff? A Thursday home tilt with Friday Harbor (1-3-1), which gets its own crack at MVC two days earlier.

Coupeville, which is back on the field after a two-year shutdown due to a lack of players, has a roster jam-packed with 8th graders and freshmen, and the growth is evident.

The clash against Mount Vernon featured several Wolves playing new positions, such as fab frosh Emma Cushman moving into goal.

“Cushman had amazing tracking saves that she credits towards her softball abilities,” Ader said.

New CHS coach Jasmine Ader plots out strategy.

Other young stars caught their coaches eye, as well.

“Sophia Greene had another solid game on Friday,” Ader said. “She is getting strong and she’s really finding her flow in the game with the other defenders.

“I really like what Hailey Goldman and Paige Hill have to do in the game. I know when they take the field they will do what it takes to support their team.”

While they’re still fairly young themselves, sophomore Lillian Ketterling and freshman Tamsin Ward, who has already netted seven goals, provide key leadership for a still-maturing squad.

“We continue to have chances especially when Lillian and Tamsin are on the ball,” Ader said.

“We have our longest stretch of days without a game coming up. I look forward to seeing the team train this week and prepare for our game on Thursday at home.”

Shoes optional, heart mandatory

It was a wild day.

Competing along with 40+ other schools at the Carl Westling Invitational Saturday in Langley, the Coupeville High School cross country team made some memories.

From George Spear becoming the first Wolf in recent memory to make it to the awards podium at the prestigious meet to Cyrus Sparacio completing the race minus a shoe, the trip down-Island was a memorable one.

Overall, CHS coach Elizabeth Bitting sent 17 runners to the line against prime competition.

Cyrus Sparacio cools down his tootsies after running most of a 3-mile race without a shoe.

Those harriers in action covered 5,000 meters across “a varied surface including forest trail, grass, gravel, and track surface.”

And Sparacio, a speedy freshman, covered most of that distance with a shoe on one foot, and just a sock on the other.

He lost his foot covering within the first half mile, but never slowed down.

“He tried quickly tying it, kept running, did not do a good job and it flew off but he kept on going,” Bitting said with a laugh. “He ran a decent time on top of it!!”

Coupeville’s runners (and their shoes, hopefully) will get back at it this coming Wednesday, Sept. 24, when they travel to Orcas Island for a Northwest 2B/1B League meet.

Coupeville’s girls move out as a pack.
