The Wolves ran with the big dogs.

Repping a small 2B school, the Coupeville High School cross country squad acquitted itself quite nicely Saturday in Granite Falls at the rain-soaked Mountain Loop Invitational, even with a field filled with large school rivals.

Paced by top finishers Mikayla Wagner, who set a “lifetime PR,” and George Spear, who “ran so fast I’m still dry,” the Wolves finished fifth in both team competitions at an event which drew runners from 20 high schools.

Oak Harbor, a 3A school, and Lake Stevens, a 4A one, captured team crowns in girls and boys, respectively, while competing on a 5,000-meter course.

On the boy’s side of things, the Wolves made a huge statement, finishing ahead of both their next-door neighbors from O-Town and Northwest 2B/1B League archrival Mount Vernon Christian.

Fresh off its top-notch performance in Granite, Coupeville next heads to Bellingham Thursday, Oct 16 for the Lake Lap Invite at Lake Padden.

George Spear earns some more hardware.

A little rain won’t slow them down.

Or even a lot of rain.

Running through the liquid sunshine in Granite Falls Saturday, the Coupeville Middle School cross country squad put up a stellar team-wide performance at the 5th annual Mountain Loop Invitational.

The scrappy Wolves notched third place in both of the team competitions, with Cavelero Mid-High, out of Lake Stevens, claiming top honors.

In the individual standings, Coupeville collected four top 10 performances, with Anna Powers and Sarai Dangerfield finishing second and third, respectively, in the girls rumble.

While the weather made navigating the 1.7-mile course a bit difficult at times, the Wolves held up well.

“It has been raining the whole time!” said CMS coach Amber Wyman. “The runners did great! The hill was muddy and wet, so a few fell on it, but they pushed through and finished strong!”

Coupeville is headed back to Granite next week, slated to appear at the Granite Gallop Wednesday, Oct. 15. The weather forecast for that day calls for sun.

Spikers scramble, spar with Tigers

“Life moves pretty fast.”

Ferris Bueller could have been talking about Coupeville Middle School volleyball, which had to scramble mid-week, when a scheduling snafu changed its home match at the last second.

The Wolf spikers were expecting to host Granite Falls Thursday, but wham, bam, why is there an unknown bus in the parking lot on Wednesday?

To the courts, maybe not fully ready!

“Wednesday was unexpected, but as they have been doing all season, the girls adjusted and played hard,” said CMS coach Shaloma Allen.

“It was a scramble for everyone. The ref approved us being out of uniform, the girls had a 20-minute warning and we played hard.”

Along the way, rosters got tweaked on the fly.

“Several of our girls had to leave at the regular time for practice to end so we scrambled teams together,” Allen said. “Granite Falls came ready to play and were a tough opponent.

“The girls did their best, adjusted well to the new challenge and gave it their all.”

Coupeville put up a strong fight, but ultimately fell in all three matches, with the varsity losing 25-20, 25-15, 15-13.

The Wolf JV was edged 25-11, 25-13, 15-9, while the C-Team nabbed a consolation price by taking the third set in a 26-24, 25-12, 14-16 loss.

With four matches left in the middle school season, the CMS spikers host Northshore Christian Academy Oct. 14, then welcome Sultan to town Oct. 16.

After that, the Wolves finish on the road with clashes at Lakewood and South Whidbey.

Anderson sizzles, but Tigers triumphant

They found some cracks in the defense. Just not enough of them.

Playing on the road Saturday, the Coupeville High School football team became the first squad to score against Granite Falls this season, but couldn’t quite derail the unbeaten Tigers.

With senior quarterback Chase Anderson connecting on four touchdown passes, the Wolves made their hosts work for the 58-27 non-conference win.

With the victory, Granite, which shut out East Jefferson 47-0 and Sultan 42-0 to open the season, gets to 3-0.

Meanwhile, Coupeville, a 2B school which has played three straight 1A foes, will carry an 0-3 mark into next week’s Homecoming clash with Cedar Park Christian-Bothell.

But, while the Wolves are still looking for that first win, they demonstrated they can light up the scoreboard.

Anderson is just the fifth gunslinger in CHS history to toss at least four touchdowns in a game, joining Corey Cross (4), Brad Sherman (4), Hunter Downes (4), and Logan Downes (5).

Playing against a previously-unbreakable Granite defense, he spread the love out, dropping scoring passes into the hands of Davin Houston, Josh Stockdale, and Nathan Coxsey.

Score #1 came on a 15-yard pass to Houston late in the first quarter, tying the game up at 7-7.

Granite promptly pushed its lead back out to 14-7 off a long scoring run to open the second quarter, only to see Anderson respond with a 23-yard scoring strike to Stockdale.

Unfortunately for Coupeville, that would be the last time the game was knotted up, though the Wolves hung tough, with the game not being broken open until late.

The Tigers seized momentum late in the second frame, scoring 16 unanswered points in a little over two minutes.

A long pass play for a touchdown was followed by a blocked punt taken in for another six points, then Granite forced a safety, and suddenly it was 30-14 in favor of the hosts.

The Wolves trimmed things back to 30-20 right before the half, with Anderson and Houston teaming up for a 28-yard touchdown pass, but CHS failed to convert on a two-point PAT try.

The teams exchanged touchdowns to open the third, with Anderson lofting a 25-yard pass to Coxsey to get Coupeville back within 37-27.

That would be the final gasp for the Wolves, however, as Granite went to the ground, grinding out three touchdowns late to make the final score look more lopsided than it really was.

With his two touchdown receptions Saturday, Houston has a team-high four trips to the end zone this season, and the junior Wolf has scored in all three games.

Stockdale, a junior, and Coxsey, a sophomore, recorded their first high school touchdowns.

Granite was led by senior Joseph Roberts, who scored touchdowns three ways Saturday — on a catch, a run, and by recovering the blocked punt.
