She retires a Wildcat but remains part of Wolf Nation.

Lauren Marrs is wrapping up a stellar four-year run as a goaltender on the Oak Harbor High School girls’ soccer team, and Tuesday was Senior Night for the Wildcats.

But while she reps the purple and gold these days, the defensive dynamo will always be remembered for her time in Coupeville.

From soccer to basketball, where she burned up the middle school nets with a steady supply of buckets, Marrs was a standout.

When high school arrived, she opted to move to the institution which gave me a diploma once upon a time and continued to show up and show out.

It was her choice, and while I might cry a bit over what could have been if she had remained a Wolf, good on Lauren for always being a class act.

Regardless of the uniform, Marrs bows out as one of the best Whidbey has produced, and she deserves your cheers.

Younger sister Taylor (right) is also a pitch powerhouse.

She’s not a Wolf anymore, but she’s still a winner.

Lauren Marrs, who used to light up the basketball hardwood and soccer pitch in Coupeville, will be a sophomore at Oak Harbor High School this fall.

The talented student/athlete, among the brightest of young stars no matter the color of the uniform, kicked off August with a bang.

Playing at the Washington Rush Cup in Burlington, Marrs manned the goal on a title-winning soccer team, helping her squad go undefeated.

And she wasn’t alone, as younger sister Taylor also played in the tournament as well — for a different team — and scored a goal after being bumped from defense to the front.

The Marrs family, which includes older sister Jaden, a former CHS cheerleader, and parents Brian and Emili, is living the 24/7/365 soccer life.

This weekend’s tourney was the fifth of seven this summer, and the only one in which both Lauren and Taylor both make an appearance.

MaxPreps likes Lauren Grove.

Like really likes.

The web site, which is devoted to being a national clearing house for prep stats and results (some weeks more competently than others…) has tabbed the CHS senior goalie as one of its state soccer players of the week for the second time this fall.

Grove was honored for her play during the week of Oct. 17-23, when the Wolf booters played three games, two against league-leading Klahowya and one against Port Townsend.

With the state-title-contending Eagles peppering her in particular, Grove made 45 saves over the course of the three games.
