No tennis courts, no worries.

Making the best out of an odd situation, the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis team celebrated its seniors Wednesday the way it has played all of its matches this season — on the road.

This time that meant popping over to Town Park, where the team’s 12th graders, Kaitlyn Leavell and Skylar Parker, played a pro set against each other.

Refreshments were enjoyed, flowers were bestowed, silly string was fired off, and the Wolves honored the core of its team, who won’t be playing next season when currently under-construction CHS courts are finally available.

They’re out there, if you look hard enough.

With their home stomping grounds out of service this spring as new courts are built, Coupeville High School netters are on a season-long road trip.

But enterprising yearbook photographers tracked down their fellow Wolves playing at South Whidbey, and the pics above and below come to us courtesy them.

Sarah and Joshua Leavell

A Wolf Mom is in need.

Sarah Leavell, whose daughters Anya and Kaitlyn are scholar/athletes at Coupeville High School, has been diagnosed with breast cancer at age 38 and faces an uphill battle.

While the cancer was detected early, she may require multiple rounds of chemotherapy, as well as surgery.

Along with always being in the stands for her daughter’s games, Sarah has worked for a decade at The Seaside Spa & Salon.

Her boss, Aaron Wiley, has launched a GoFundMe to allow the community to reach out and help the Leavell family, which also includes husband Joshua (and his truly remarkable beard).

“While Sarah’s team of doctors are optimistic, there is no doubt that she is facing the fight of her life,” Wiley said.

“Now, if you know Sarah, you know she has a quiet strength and determination that does not quit until the job is done.

“She lives her life like that and will be treating this cancer journey the same way. She’s not going to quit.”

The GoFundMe will help cover medical bills, gas to get back and forth to doctor appointments, and Sarah’s loss of income.

“Please help lift her spirits,” Wiley said. “Relieve some of the stress, so she can focus on what she needs to … beating cancer!”
