The weather was cloudy, but the atmosphere was sunny.

Coupeville High School girls’ tennis hailed its veterans on Senior Night Wednesday, then went out and bounced visiting Friday Harbor off the court.

The Wolves celebrated 12th graders Delanie Lewis and Ember Light, with the former teaming up with young gun Brynn Parker to seal the deal in a 3-2 victory for CHS in Northwest 2B/1B League action.

Lewis and Brynn Parker celebrate with their biggest fan (and the ball boy for their match).

CHS finishes 2-9-1 this season, but that record is deceptive.

The Wolves increased their roster size from a year ago, debuted their new home courts, showed great growth, and were highly competitive, with all of their losses coming by razor-thin 3-2 scores.

As it has all season, Coupeville swept both singles matches Wednesday, while this time out also breaking through in a doubles bout.

The match brought an end to the regular season for the Wolves, but the postseason beckons.

Coupeville will travel to Seattle May 15, taking two singles players and two doubles teams to compete in the District 1/2 tourney at the Amy Yee Tennis Center.

Things will be intense there, as the two districts only get to send one singles player and one doubles team on to the state tourney this year.

Which means you win a bi-district crown and you’re off to Yakima. Don’t, and you’re not.

Next spring, a different district loses a slot, and two singles players and two doubles teams will once again advance from the District 1/2 tourney to state.

 

Wednesday’s results:

 

Varsity:

1st Singles — Tenley Stuurmans beat Nikki Clark Cole 6-0, 6-1

2nd Singles — Dahlia Miller beat Lyla Ovenell 6-2

1st Doubles — Ember Light/Mila Light lost to Kira Clark/Megan Mellinger 6-0, 6-0

2nd Doubles — Kauri Hamilton/Sofia Phay lost to Hazel Leighton/Norah Leighton 6-2, 6-4

3rd Doubles — Brynn Parker/Delanie Lewis beat Ava Gamez/Sofia Ramirez 6-2, 6-3

 

JV:

4th Doubles — Ashley Wells/Samantha Wallace lost to Charisse Ho/Frankie Pignatiello 6-1, 6-0

One more road trip.

Making their final trek of the season as a complete team Monday, the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis team battled it out with Granite Falls.

While the host Tigers swept the doubles matches to escape with a 3-2 victory in the official varsity portion of the rumble, the Wolves earned a 6-6 split overall.

With everyone in action for CHS playing two matches, the first round consisted of pro sets to eight points, with the second round a regular set to six.

The Wolves have one more regular season match on their schedule, hosting Friday Harbor Wednesday at 3:30 PM.

It’s Senior Night, with netters Ember Light and Delanie Lewis being honored.

“Everyone played exceptionally well and showed real determination on the court.”

Playing under sunny skies on the prairie Friday, the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis team held its own with its ritzy private school rival, battling to a 3-3 tie with The Bush School in varsity action.

The Wolves swept all three singles matches, with Tenley Stuurmans and Dahlia Miller remaining unbeaten on the season.

“Our singles players continue to dominate on the court,” said CHS coach Starla Seal.

“They delivered impressive performances this week, showing grit, smart play, and strong court presence.

“Their focus and consistency were key to our team’s success, and we’re proud of the strength they show on court.”

Chloe Ferguson awaits an incoming serve.

While The Bush School was able to pull out victories in the doubles matches, Coupeville’s coaches were pleased with the effort they saw from their players.

“A special shoutout to the Light sisters (Ember and Mila), who brought great energy and teamwork in their doubles match,” Seal said.

“Their fight and chemistry were clear, and we’re excited to see what they bring to the next match!”

The match marked the return of Sofia Phay from an injury, and she reunited with Kauri Hamilton as if the duo had never been apart.

“Their teamwork and trust in one another create a solid foundation, allowing them to stay composed under pressure and adapt well mid-match,” Seal said.

“It’s clear they enjoy playing together, and their chemistry has become a real asset to the team.”
