So little time, so little facts.
As the Coupeville High School volleyball squad hurtles into its first home playoff game in more than a decade (6 PM tonight), the Wolves didn’t even know who their opponent would be until early this morning.
Now, as we sit less than nine hours away from the opening serve of the loser-out district match, here’s what we know:
Opponent: Seattle Christian
School facts: Private school with a 13-acre campus in SeaTac
Record: 8-8 overall, 3-5 in 1A Nisqually Valley League play
Mascot: Warriors
Colors: Red, white
Coach: Aubrey Fox
Athletic Director: Craig Wrolstad
Slogan: “Educating Minds, Nurturing Hearts, Honoring Christ”
Roster tidbits: MaxPreps.com has an 11-player roster that appears to include two sister combos (Kelli/Carli Ronish and Audri/Abby Gunderson).
Stats: Seattle Christian appears to be the only Nisqually League school which doesn’t post them to MaxPreps, so no idea.
Top player: Again, we have no stats, but looking at the school’s website, they give out an Athlete of the Week award.
The last five weeks, Warrior cross country runners have hogged the awards, but the first week of fall SC middle blocker Erika Kaler, a senior captain, became the first, and only, spiker to net the honor this year.
She was praised for her play against University Prep, Highline and Bush, and garnered 17 kills in that third match.
And that’s pretty much what we know.
