Firing the cannon.
Make it four.
Following in the footsteps of fellow Coupeville High School seniors Makana Stone, Zane Bundy and Dalton Martin, standout Wolf soccer player Jenn Spark is officially down to play college sports.
Spark (and her super-powered kicking leg) will be a Titan, as she plans to suit up for Tacoma Community College in the fall.
A four-year starter for the Wolves, as well as a standout select player for the Whidbey Islanders, she chose the program for several reasons.
“Well, I wanted to continue to play soccer, and I’m interested in the physical therapy program there,” Spark said. “So I emailed the coach to get in touch, and things took off from there.
“I visited the college and met with the team,” she added. “I just really enjoyed the environment at the school, and I really liked the coach and the rest of the team.”
Spark, who battled back from a devastating leg injury during her time as a high school player, plans to pursue a career in physical therapy.
A stellar lock-down defender who earned All-League honors every year she was healthy, Spark also scored her fair share of goals for the Wolves.
The owner of a truly ferocious kick, she once launched a shot from midfield that curled at the last second, smacked off of the top of the goalie’s head and disappeared into the back of the net.
Tacoma Community College plays in the Northwest Athletic Conference.
Home to 35 colleges across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and British Columbia, the NWAC is the largest multi-state organization of its type in the nation.
The Titans, who are coached by Jill Green, went 8-9-3 last year and went to the playoffs.
