The mat, and the wrestler standing on it, tremble when Izzy LeVine swaggers into view.

The former Coupeville student, forever known as the little girl who gave me rocks at her older sister’s various sporting events, continues to terrorize rival grapplers in her new life.

Now a student at Casteel High School in Arizona, Izzy, the heir to the shining athletic legacy set by Micky and Jae, is a wrestler on a rampage.

Her latest stop, as 2023 prepares to exit out the door and be replaced by 2024, was the Fierce Filly Showdown in Queen Creek.

While operating on her home mats, the youngest LeVine claimed 2nd place at 128 pounds, ripping off five straight pins to open the tourney.

While Izzy was nipped by a top-ranked foe in a nailbiter championship match, she helped lead Casteel to a team title at the 20-squad event.

The Cow Town Masher strikes again!

Izzy LeVine’s wrestling career didn’t take off into the stratosphere until after she and her family left Coupeville, but, since the seeds of her awesomeness were planted here, we shall forever claim her.

Mickey and Jae’s lil’ sister thumped all comers once again, cruising to a title at the Veterans Memorial Invitational Saturday in Arizona.

The youngest of the LeVine sisters went 4-0 with four pins and was one of two Casteel High School grapplers to claim a title.

Izzy and Co. finished 3rd in the team standings out of 32 schools.

The mat sensation, who used to give me rocks at her older sister’s games, is the daughter of Sean and Joline LeVine.

During their time in Coupeville, the family saw three family members inducted into the Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame.

Don’t get between Izzy LeVine and a championship medal.

The former Coupeville supernova is now the queen of the wrestling mats, terrorizing grapplers in a new city seemingly every day.

This weekend, Micky and Jae’s (not so) lil’ sister was at the 50th Annual Jerry Benson Tournament in Buckeye, Arizona, and all anyone could hear was the scream of wrestlers trying (and failing) to escape her grasp.

Izzy made a clean sweep of things, winning all seven of her matches, six by pins, to claim a tourney title.

Paced by her performance, Casteel High School’s girls’ wrestling squad finished fourth in the team standings.

While the LeVine family no longer lives in Cow Town, they left behind a towering legacy, with three family members having earned induction into the Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame.

She’s known nationally now.

Former Coupeville student Izzy LeVine, youngest in a family of athletic superstars, continues to plant people on their head and go for the pin.

Now living in Arizona, Mickey and Jae’s lil’ sis is prone to bouncing around the country, decimating folks on the wrestling mat.

This past weekend Izzy was at the 2023 Brian Keck Memorial Preseason Nationals in Des Moines, Iowa, where she earned All-American status.

Sean and Joline’s ferocious youngest daughter — who used to give me rocks at Jae’s softball games — finished 6th in the 120-pound weight class.

Izzy opened on a three-match winning streak, before falling to eventual champion Sierra Chiesa in the semifinals.

Chiesa is the one they speak of in hushed tones, the first female grappler to qualify for the Pennsylvania state high school championships.

Bouncing right back, Izzy fought hard in her remaining matches against highly ranked foes from Oklahoma and Wisconsin to earn her All-American status.

They rule the mat.

Her mat, her time to shine

Another day of grappling, another oversized medal to add to the ever-growing collection.

Former Whidbey wonder Izzy LeVine, youngest member of a family which has landed three inductees into the Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame, continues to terrorize the wrestling mat.

Continuing a torrid run of pins and technical falls, “The Izzinator” claimed third-place Saturday at the MWP Grand Canyon Championships in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Competing in the 132-pound division, LeVine fought her way back after being narrowly nipped in the championship rounds.

Sweet revenge was hers in the final bout, as she won by major decision over the same foe who had beaten her earlier in the tourney.

“Long, but fun day!” said dad Sean.

LeVine, whose older sisters Micky and Jae are joined by pops in the Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame, has had a busy, super-successful summer.

Her last time out, in mid-July, she finished in the top half of competitors at the 16U Junior National Championships in Fargo, North Dakota.

Izzy followed that up by earning 3rd place at the USMC/USA 16U Junior Nationals Beach Bash the same weekend.
