Prescott will join grizzled vets like 8th grader Maya Toomey-Stout.

There are some new spikers in town.

High school volleyball has already been going for a bit, but Coupeville Middle School officially kicks off a new season Thursday, when the Wolves play host to Chimacum at 3:30 PM.

CMS has 26 players on its roster currently, with an almost perfect mix of eighth graders and seventh graders.

Among the names to watch, returning stars like Scout Smith, Zoe Trujillo and Maya Toomey-Stout.

And, while I don’t have much of a feel for what the Wolf seventh graders have to offer yet, two names pop out.

Genna Wright is the final child from a family of top-drawer athletes, following in the footsteps of older siblings Aaron and Sarah, while Chelsea Prescott has already made a name for herself as a little league baseball pitcher.

The rosters, as they stand now:

8th grade:

Ashleigh Battaglia
Luci Coleburn
Hannah Davidson
Natalie Hollrigel
Emma Mathusek
Jillian Mayne
Cassidy Moody
Lucy Sandahl
Scout Smith
Maya Toomey-Stout
Zoe Trujillo
Raven Vick
Willow Vick
Melia Welling

7th grade:

Megan Behan
Kylie Chemikoff
Alexis Czarnik
Emily Fieldler
Ivy Leedy
Catherine Lhamon
Jaimee Masters
Lacy McCraw-Shirron
Morgan Pease
Chelsea Prescott
Savannah Smith
Genna Wright

A few more grey hairs for the coach, but a win to save the day.

Despite squandering a three-goal lead, the North Whidbey Deception FC-01 boys’ soccer squad escaped with a thrilling 4-3 win over its Crossfire arch-rivals Saturday, thanks largely to its Coupeville mercenaries.

Matthew Kelley poked home the winning goal, off of an assist from fellow Wolf Aram Leyva, to pull out the victory.

With time running down, Leyva forced an attack on the goal, then slid the ball to Kelley, who drew the net-minder out.

Once he had the Crossfire goalie in no man’s land, Kelley popped the ball over his head for the eventual winning score.

The comeback was necessitated after the Crossfire, who had tied the Deception in two previous meetings, ripped off three straight goals to climb back into the game.

Whidbey had jumped out to a large lead off of a penalty kick, a goal set up by Kelley and a booming score from 20-yards out off of Leyva’s toe.

The win sent the Deception into sole possession of first place in their league.

A new season kicks off today.

With Coupeville High School still riding high off last night’s win at Chimacum, its middle school counterparts boarded the bus Saturday morning to head to a jamboree at Stevens Middle School in Port Angeles.

CMS will play the host school, as well as Forks and Chimacum at the all-day affair, then lace it up for real Wednesday, Sept. 23 when Stevens comes to Whidbey.

That school, which the Wolves haven’t played before, boasts 600+ students and has a football roster that groans with 70 players.

By contrast, Coupeville coach Bob Martin has 26 guys to call on at the moment.

They are:

Noa Allen
Raymond Anderson
Trevor Jon Bell
Tyson Bovee
Michael Brewer
Koa Davison
Sage Downes
Dakota Eck
Trystan Ford
Mason Grove
Dawson Houston
Alex Jimenez
Elliott Johnson
Matthew Kelley
Gavin Knoblich
Jean Lund-Olsen
Andrew Martin
Jake Mitten
Omar Morales
Jacobi Pacquette-Pilgrim
Jonathan Partida
Gage Powers
Ben Smith
Sean Toomey-Stout
Arec Wilker
Hunter Wilkinson

All your scores belong to Coupeville.

Well, almost all of them.

Wolf players accounted for all but one goal Saturday, as the North Whidbey Islanders boys’ FC-01 soccer squad pummeled a Seattle team 7-1.

Matthew Kelley led the way with a hat trick, twice scoring on plays where he bounced the ball over his defender, slipped around him and then drilled the ball into the corner of the net as it came down.

“Never seen anything like it!,” said proud papa Pat Kelley.

Hot on his heels was teammate Aram Leyva, who tallied two goals in the game’s opening five minutes.

Jake Mitten rounded out the Coupeville scoring brigade with a booming 20-yard shot that came off a nice set-up from James Wood.

The only goal scored by a non-Wolf was set up by a Cow Town kid, as North Whidbey drew a penalty kick when Coupeville’s Sam Wynn was de-cleated on a play.

While he didn’t score a goal, Sage Downes also made his presence felt, setting up one of Kelley’s scores with his usual crisp passing.

The Islanders return to action Sept. 19 when they play a Crossfire squad at Fort Nugent.
