Joy was the word of the day.

As the members of the Coupeville High School Class of 2024 received diplomas Saturday and bid farewell to their prairie school days, a trio of photographers captured the moment on film.

There was accomplishment, pride, and, most of all, joy.

She finished in the spotlight.

Coupeville High School senior Grey Peabody brought her prep volleyball career to a close Sunday, playing in the All-State match in Burlington-Edison.

Wolf coach Cory Whitmore and her high school teammates were on hand to watch the middle blocker in action.

Repping #8 for the final time, Peabody closed a stellar four-year career which saw her earn All-Conference honors and help guide her team to state as a senior.

“I just thought it was so sweet.”

Wolf Mom Kim Brotemarkle is a frequent presence at games, as a coach, parent, and fan.

The photo above, which she sent my way from the state volleyball tourney in Yakima, captures her daughter Taylor and Wolf senior Issabel Johnson, who both won sportsmanship awards for the way they conducted themselves on the big stage.

Wins and losses come and go.

This is the kind of connection remembered years down the road when these two have daughters of their own playing the sport.

Terrific twosome exit with grace

“I am so proud of us and the bond we have continued to grow over these past years.

“I wouldn’t choose anyone else to share this night with.”

As she bid farewell to the Coupeville High School gym Tuesday night, Wolf volleyball ace Issabel Johnson shared the moment with teammate Grey Peabody.

The duo were honored on Senior Night, then went out and helped lead their squad to one of the biggest wins in program history — handing four-time defending state champ La Conner its first varsity volleyball league loss in 12+ years.

Along with the win, the emotion flowed, with Peabody returning the love to Johnson.

“A very special shoutout to Issabel, who has been with me through the beginning and has never left my side,” she said.

The sentiment was seconded by CHS coach Cory Whitmore, who has seen the pair grow from precocious freshmen to seasoned seniors.

“They bring such a great amount of joy to this group,” he said.

“Issabel and Grey deserved to have a great night and they did,” Whitmore added. “I’m so happy for them.”
