Want to break into the coaching biz?

There’s no better time than now, especially if you have some volleyball knowledge.

With the start of school less than a month away, Coupeville Middle School is hot to trot to add a coach to the program, and time is of the essence.

The first day of practice for CMS sports is Sept. 6, also the first day of school.

The job would be ideal for someone seeking their first coaching job, though no one’s going to turn you away if you, say, won a handful of NCAA and Olympics titles and are now looking for a quiet retirement gig.

Hey, could happen.

If interested, contact CHS/CMS Athletic Director Willie Smith at wsmith@coupeville.k12.wa.us.

They burned for Bennett.

Playing under scorching skies in Enumclaw, eight Coupeville Middle School boys’ basketball players poured in buckets in support of a missing teammate this weekend.

Playing at an outdoor three-on-three tourney, the Wolves raised $402 as a fundraiser for Bennett Boyles.

The CMS hoops player is battling an inoperable brain tumor and has been sidelined at a hospital in Seattle for weeks.

While he wasn’t able to travel with his teammates, he was very much in their thoughts, with each basket scored by the Wolves raising money for Boyles.

Coupeville players got fans to pledge a certain amount per basket scored in the tourney and the Wolves combined to pour in 46 buckets.

Seven of the eight CMS players on hand for the tourney scored, while nearly all of them came home with sunburns.

The Wolves were hurt a bit by a thin bench, as local teams shared players among teams.

Still, win or lose, the tourney was more about helping their missing teammate and less about worrying over the score.

So, in the end, it was a rousing success.

“Very proud of the boys,” said Coupeville coach Pat Kelley. “Go Bennett!”

Donations to help Boyles and his family (his mom Lucienne Rivera, a CHS grad, had to quit her job to be with her son) can be dropped off at Ebey Academy (140 SE Terry Road) in Coupeville.

They’re shooting for their teammate.

Adding a personal spin to the community’s ongoing efforts to help Bennett Boyles and his family, Coupeville Middle School basketball players will be scoring for two reasons this weekend.

The Wolves are sending two squads to Encumclaw for a tourney, and while there, every basket they score will go to help Boyles, their missing teammate.

The 11-year-old is in Seattle, undergoing weeks of treatment for an inoperable tumor on his brain stem.

His mom, CHS grad Lucienne Rivera, quit her job to be with him, and people near and far are stepping up to help the family pay their considerable expenses.

Ebey Academy, where teachers had the joy of welcoming Bennett on a regular basis, has been at the forefront of fundraising operations.

The Wolves hoops squads, coached by Nate Barton and Pat Kelley, will be eight-men strong this weekend.

Matthew Kelley, Alex Jimenez, Jake Mitten, Connor Barton, Danny Barajas, Caleb Meyer, Logan Martin and Miles Davidson will play in a 3 v 3 tourney.

Each player is asking fans to pledge money for baskets scored, with all proceeds going to their missing brother.

The team’s goal is to raise $500 this weekend for Boyles.

“We will take Enumclaw by storm,” Pat Kelley said. “We will play fair but HARD.

“The teams we leave in our wake will fear us and know that our effort and dedication is based on the LOVE we have for Bennett and his family!”

Total baskets from the tourney will be published here on Coupeville Sports after play is done Sunday.

Pledges can either be given to players or dropped off at Ebey Academy (140 SE Terry Road in Coupeville, across from the high school).

Yep, they’re still going to Forks.

Keeping the longest drive of the season alive, schedules for Coupeville Middle School will pit the Wolves against five other schools this fall.

It’s a hodgepodge of mostly other Olympic League schools, with match-ups against two schools that feed other 1A schools (Port Townsend, Chimacum), two that feed 2A schools (Sequim, Stevens) and one far-flung non-league rival.

First day of practice is Tuesday, Sept. 6, coinciding with the first day of school.

As you fire up the laminating machine to preserve this schedule, be aware, things can always change at the last moment.

So, cross your fingers and make frequent visits to: http://coupeville.tandem.co/

The dynamic duo arrives!!

They are the sparkling future of Wolf sports.

The duo of Mollie Bailey and Avalon Renninger share a lot in common, starting with having birthdays just a few hours apart.

Bailey’s was Friday (I just found out) while Renninger’s is today.

Both are younger sisters of highly-successful Coupeville athletes (McKayla and McKenzie Bailey, Sage Renninger) who are already on their way to being just as big stars, if not bigger, themselves.

Bailey, who will be an eighth grader at CMS in the fall, is a scrappy point guard on the basketball court and an even scrappier catcher on the softball diamond, a hard-hitting, fast-talking whirlwind.

Meanwhile, Renninger, who will be a freshman at CHS, is a ball of energy blazing across the soccer pitch, basketball court and (so far) track oval (though she may swap that for tennis).

Described by CHS hoops coach David King as a bulldog, for her willingness to get down and scrap with foes for every loose ball, every rebound, Avalon has a motor which never stops running.

Both young women share a lot of similar traits, being outgoing and friendly off the field, and then being more than willing to slice you off at the kneecaps in the heat of battle.

Like their sisters before them, the duo also have a love for the camera and are willing to play the PR game.

Bailey, in particular, is gunning for her sister’s Photo Bomb Queen status and she’s got the chops to make it happen.

As they both make the move upwards this year, with bright careers ahead of them, sports-wise and as smart, tough-nosed young women of the prairie, we want to wish them happy birthday.

Your future is wide-open, ladies. Go claim your destiny.
