They’re learning the game from every angle.

Incoming Coupeville High School freshmen Taylor Marrs and Lillian Ketterling are not only top soccer players, but they’re sanctioned refs as well.

The duo, who have attended clinics and done hours of online work to prepare, were making calls at this weekend’s Washington Rush Cup at Skagit River Park in Burlington.

That tournament drew tons of teams, with multiple Whidbey Island-based squads winning titles.

Ketterling and Marrs suit up for a Deception FC team which didn’t play in the tourney, allowing them time to pick up their first assignments as officials.

“They did a great job and are gaining a lot of experience and knowledge of the game,” said Wolf Mom Emili Marrs.

“Which I’m sure they will put to good use on the field as they are also both ready to play girls soccer this fall as freshmen.”

The world is yours.

With one school year officially ending Monday, eyes already turn to the next one.

At least for sports bloggers in need of things to write about during the summer months.

While the 2024-2025 school year doesn’t start until September 3 in Coupeville, now is a perfect time for incoming freshmen to introduce themselves to Wolf fans.

Whether you’ve already made a mark as a high school athlete while still in 8th grade, or you’re undecided about if you want to pursue any athletic endeavors during your CHS days, this is open to any incoming 9th grader.

Have a parent contact me, either on Facebook or at davidsvien@hotmail.com, and I’ll send them some questions you can answer at your leisure.

No pressure, no one standing there, notebook in hand, as you contemplate the questions.

This is your time to have the spotlight on you. Embrace it.

Same school, new world

The campus will be the same, but everything else will be (slightly) different.

Coupeville Middle School 8th graders officially become high schoolers Wednesday, with a “passages” ceremony set for 6:00 PM in the school PAC.

The Class of 2027 is 57 deep, though that number is almost certain to change between now and graduation.

Some may come, some may leave, but it’s a group deep in promising athletes and stellar students.

Thanks to Coupeville High School playing sports in the 2B classification, three 8th graders have already played varsity softball games while still attending middle school classes.

That trio — Haylee Armstrong, Capri Anter, and Melanie Wolfe — have an early advantage, but two others — Jack Farrell and Matthew Gilbert — also played at the high school level as 8th graders.

That duo suited up for the Wolf JV baseball squad.

But whether they’ve already played high school ball, or vied at the middle school level, or pursued other non-sports interests, the future is bright for the Class of ’27.

Coupeville’s incoming 9th graders are:

Noah Allred
Capri Anter
Sage Arends
Haylee Armstrong
Kingston Bartholomew
Zachary Blitch
Isabella Bowder
Tirsit Cannon
Jasmine Castellanos
Kayla Crane
Nicholas D’Haene

Katie Marti is inevitable

She’s a one-person wrecking crew, just like grandpa.

Go back through the history of Coupeville High School sports, and Paul Messner’s name looms large, whether the sport under discussion is football or track and field.

Now, jump forward to 2023 and Wolf sophomore Katie Marti, having made the transition from softball to track, is pounding folks just like gramps did back in the day.

Saturday the scene of destruction was Bob Larson Stadium, host of the Stanwood Frosh/Soph Invitational.

Or, as they shall refer to it after this, the Katie Marti Just Kicked Your Fanny Invitational.

Winning the shot put, discus, and javelin, Christi Messner’s favorite daughter pulled off the trifecta, and accounted for three of Coupeville’s five wins on the day.

Fellow sophomores Monroe Myles (200) and Zac Tackett (discus) joined Marti atop the podium, while CHS athletes combined to rack up 18 PR’s.

Gridiron squad builds bright future

The young guns are ready for their close-ups.

First-year Coupeville High School football head coach Bennett Richter has eight freshmen on a 32-man roster this season.

Toss in two eighth graders, Davin Houston and Dylan Robinett, who are working with the team while they await the arrival of their high school gridiron eligibility, and it’s a strong group.

Five of those eight frosh have made their debut on the stat sheet already this season, led by Aiden O’Neill and Chase Anderson, who have each been involved in a touchdown celebration.

The size of the group is remarkable for a school which no longer has a middle school gridiron program and has to hope Coupeville kids travel up to Oak Harbor to participate in Whidbey’s only youth football program.

The photos above and below capture eight of the 10 young stars.

O’Neill is missing, as we already used his portrait after he snagged his debut TD catch, and Devinion Hill was apparently not part of the photo shoot from where these pics originated.
