“I am a very happy coach, and we all had a blast today!”

Coupeville High School JV volleyball guru Ashley Menges got to witness her team play four matches at a tournament in Oak Harbor Saturday — all against schools with much-larger student bodies — and came away thrilled with much of what she saw.

“Oh man, today was crazy!,” she said. “The girls had a great morning!

“Honestly, every girl played so well all day that it’s hard to highlight just one.”

Coupeville, a 2B school, opened pool play against 4A Kamiak and split sets, winning the second one while “making little errors both sets.”

From there, the Wolves battled 1A powerhouse Lynden Christian and 2A Squalicum.

“They played so clean and really forced them to make the errors,” Menges said.

“They made them earn their points, that’s for sure.”

Whether they were winning or losing sets in pool play, the Wolves battled their big-city foes with ferocity.

“Overall, a very strong pool play,” Menges said. “The girls played some of their best volleyball all season.

“Serving was spot on, our serve receive was amazing, and we were just finding the court, letting the other teams make the mistakes.”

Minor injuries and lineup changes hurt Coupeville a bit in its tournament play opener, as the Wolves fell in straight-sets to 2A Anacortes, ending their day.

Mia Farris and the Wolf JV sparkled against big-school competition.

“The girls came into it with tons of energy, clean ball again, and really turned it around; even the ref was impressed!,” Menges said.

She praised Issabel Johnson for “some great serve receive passes, great serves, and even a handful of kills (yes, even as a libero…),” while noting Mia Farris and Jada Heaton “were clean on the net and got some great touches on the ball.

“Madison (McMillan) and Gwen (Gustafson) were great both on the outside and in the back row today,” Menges added. “Katie (Marti) and Taylor (Brotemarkle) both delivered great sets all day, and Aby (Wood) played her best volleyball all season today.”

Coupeville returns to action this Monday, Sept. 27, when it hosts South Whidbey in a non-conference rumble.

JV starts at 4:30, varsity at 6:00.

She’ll play all day (and night)

Another milestone.

After opening her college volleyball career with 10 straight three-set matches, Coupeville grad Chelsea Prescott got to play Saturday in a five-set thriller.

And it was a doozy.

Prescott and her Medaille College teammates had match point in the fourth set, thanks to a thunderous kill by the former Wolf, but couldn’t hang on, falling to host Wells College.

The 19-25, 25-20, 22-25, 32-30, 15-11 loss drops the Mavericks to 3-8 on the season.

Up two sets to one, Medaille claimed a 30-29 lead in the fourth frame after Prescott swatted a winner, only to see Wells escape by scoring the final three points of the set.

Forget about sets and just count the points, and it was still an amazingly close match, with Wells edging Medaille 113-111.

Prescott finished with nine kills, three assists, and 11 digs on the day, while Maverick teammates Halle Bogas (17 kills) and Haley Kennedy (38 assists) also filled up the stat sheet.

During her freshman season of NCAA D-III volleyball, Prescott has played in all 35 sets, racking up 53 kills, 83 digs, seven service aces, seven assists, a solo block, and six block assists.

Medaille returns to action Oct. 2, when it travels to Penn State-Altoona to open Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference play.

She’s bonafide.

Makana Stone became Coupeville’s first professional athlete in decades (maybe ever?) Saturday, making her debut with the Leicester Riders of the Women’s British Basketball League.

And she got a win to put the cherry on top.

With Stone coming off the bench to pop for six points, haul in five rebounds, and dish out an assist, the Riders bounced the Oaklands Wolves 57-48 in Wales.

The game was the first of at least three games Leicester will play in the 13-team WBBL Cup.

The Riders clash with Gloucester City Sunday, then play Cardiff Met Sept. 29.

If Stone and Co. finish atop Group C, they advance to the semifinals of the tourney.

The regular season kicks off Oct. 3.

Saturday’s game marked a bit of a twist for Stone, as she came off the bench for the Riders after being a starter for almost every game while playing four years of high school ball and five college seasons across two countries.

She ended up playing almost 17 minutes, second-most of any bench player, and finished with a +/- rating of 12, best of any Leicester player, starter or bench.

Stone poured in all six of her points in the fourth quarter, as the Riders stretched a three-point lead after three frames out to nine by the end of the game.

A jump shot which tickled the twines at the 7:43 mark was her first official professional points, then was quickly followed by a layup, and a pair of pressure-packed free throws.

Anna Lappenkuper and Hannah Robb paced Leicester with 14 and 11 points, respectively.

William Davidson anchors the line.

Abby Mulholland keeps her photography game strong.

“We are kickin’ their fannies!!”

“If you take one more picture of me, I will come take 10 of you, so help me, buddy!!”

It’s a 2-for-1 special as Mikey Robinett scoops up a fumble, and shows off the guns.

Logan Downes rumbles to pay-dirt.

It was then Leonard realized this was reality, and not a dream. He was naked, and everyone in the stadium was looking right at him.

If you build a course, they will run.

Coupeville High School’s revived cross country program is charging hard into its fourth year of competition, and hosting home meets at Fort Casey State Park is one of the bonuses.

The course is the best one in the region, and wanderin’ photographer John Fisken even pops up sometimes to snap pics.

To see everything he shot Friday, and possibly purchase some glossies to send to the in-laws in Albuquerque, pop over to:
