“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.”

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.”

April turns into May next week, and the push for the finish line ramps up.

High school sports end May 31 in the state of Washington, with the final state championships action going down that day in several sports.

As we creep into the first week of a new, and final month, Coupeville High School sports teams will be busy.

Girls’ tennis travels to Friday Harbor for a conference rumble Wednesday, while track and field spends the week prepping for the postseason, which begins the following week.

Meanwhile, Wolf baseball and softball each have three games on the slate.

Both teams host Orcas Island Tuesday, before bouncing island-to-island for a rematch with the Vikings Thursday.

Wrapping up things are non-conference games at South Whidbey, with softball heading to Langley Friday and baseball making the trek Saturday.

Shuffle the lineup, shuffle the results.

Coupeville and Granite Falls coaches agreed to play Wednesday’s non-conference girls’ tennis match with an emphasis on doubles action, and the Wolves came away with their first team win of the season.

The Tigers, who were playing host, requested that CHS singles players be paired with newer teammates and play pro sets, creating a different learning experience.

“Mashed up the doubles teams and brought some doubles teams back together,” said CHS coach Starla Seal. “Experienced players could act as a guide for the new players.

“Overall, it was a good match.”

With the action moving along at a good clip, the teams even had time to play two singles matches at the end, with Wolf netters Tenley Stuurmans and Dahlia Miller remaining undefeated on the campaign.

Coupeville will be back at home Friday, hosting The Bush School in a non-league tilt — the team’s second-to-last home rumble of the spring.

Hardcourt aces show great promise

There’s more to the story than the win/loss record.

While it’s true the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis squad is 0-7 on the season after being nipped 3-2 Friday afternoon by visiting Friday Harbor, that’s not a complete reflection of how the Wolves have been playing.

A team comprised almost completely of younger players and netters new to the game, and one which has dodged a series of injuries, is virtually a shot or two away from being 7-0.

Six of those seven team losses have been by a 3-2 score, with the only one which wasn’t being 3-1 after a singles match was suspended by injury.

As Coupeville rebuilds its program after scraping together a partial roster a season ago, the present, and the future, are much brighter.

And one of the brightest spots is first-year player Dahlia Miller, the lone Wolf to have gone 7-0 this season.

She’s won 13 of 14 sets and been a consistent winner whether playing at #1 or #2 singles.

Friday, with Tenley Stuurmans missing in action, Miller moved to the top of the order and once again delivered, as did Brynn Parker, who slid into the #2 slot.

“It was great!” said CHS coach Starla Seal. “Dahlia and Brynn played well, played quickly, and they were focused and had some beautiful rallies.”

Miller took down a Friday Harbor player, Nikki Cole Clark, who battled at the district tourney last season, which bodes well for this year’s postseason run.

While Coupeville couldn’t get that elusive third win, dropping all three doubles clashes, their duos held up well under pressure.

“Our doubles (teams) played very nicely, great rallies,” Seal said.

“Delanie (Lewis) and Miles (Gerber) showed great promise and I’m very happy with how all of the girls played!”

Coupeville now hits the road for three of its next four matches before closing the regular season at home May 7 with Senior Night.
