The sophomores were sensations.

For whatever it’s worth, three 10th graders lead the way in the final CHS volleyball stats.

Lauren Rose, Katrina McGranahan and Payton Aparicio each pop up in 10 of 11 categories, with Rose at the absolute top in a team-high five categories.

Now, I know, back-line players don’t appear as often in the offensive categories, and the spike happy snipers who patrol the net don’t get a lot of chances to rack up digs, service returns and assists.

I get it.

But still, appearing in all but one of the categories would seem to imply the terrific trio were versatile as all heck.

So, there you go.

But go ahead and look for yourself. If you know more about volleyball than I do (not hard…) you may come to a different conclusion.

And, as always, remember, if you don’t like your numbers, go talk to your coaches.

They’re the ones who posted them on MaxPreps.com. I just came along later and plucked them off and slapped them up here in pursuit of page hits.

That’s my game.

The Wolf Buddies are back, and stronger than ever.

Kicking off a new year of the program — which unites Coupeville High School volleyball players with elementary school children — the Wolves and their young charges kicked up their heels.

“The girls did an awesome job of being role models to these young ones while serving their community and the future of their volleyball program,” said CHS coach Breanne Smedley. “So fun to watch it in action!”

Young, but ready to rumble!!

Sophomore Katrina McGranahan is back and ready to unleash her power game.

Never back down.

That captures the attitude shown by the Coupeville High School volleyball squad, which is looking to bounce back from a fourth-place finish in the 1A Olympic League last year.

While those Wolves went 1-11, many of the matches were close affairs and CHS was rarely, if ever, blown out.

The loss of five players to graduation will sting a bit, but much of the core of the team was young last year, which bodes well for this season and the future.

“My expectation is that our team competes every day, gives maximum effort for the sake of their team, and challenges each other to become better,” said Wolf coach Breanne Smedley. “Our goals are to improve with each week, earn a league title, and compete into the post season.

“We are out to beat them all! We talk about all other teams as just another jersey,” she added. “We are constantly competing with ourselves and focusing on what is going to help us improve each week.

“All else will fall into place if we are successful in this.”

As Smedley heads into her second year at the helm of the Wolves, she’ll have a roster that is still fairly young, with just two seniors.

Middle blocker McKenzie Bailey and setter Sydney Autio, who was out injured much of last year, are those veterans, and they’ll be joined by juniors Valen Trujillo (libero), Tiffany Briscoe (OH) and Ally Roberts (OPP).

Sophomores Kyla Briscoe (OH/OPP), Katrina McGranahan (MB), Lauren Rose (setter), Hope Lodell (OH) and Payton Aparicio (OH) and freshman phenom Emma Smith (MB) are also in the mix.

It’s a group that has stepped up in off-season workouts and is intent on toppling Klahowya, Port Townsend and Chimacum.

“Our strengths include the ownership the girls are taking over the program, and their competitiveness to continually improve,” Smedley said. “We have depth from pin to pin in our offense, which will prove to become a strength for us if we can focus in on quality first ball contacts.”

As their season opener approaches (Sept. 8 at home against South Whidbey), the Wolves remain hard at work.

“We need to work on controlling the first ball contact on serve receive and in defense,” Smedley said. “We are also working on getting our middles to run quicker through the middle and introducing combinations into our offense.

“It is all dependent on the first ball contact, though.”

“You da woman, Jaebird!!” Robin Cedillo approves of LeVine’s hustle.

Two and two at the top.

Coupeville High School softball put four players — two seniors and two freshmen — on the First Team All-League squad when 1A Olympic League coaches counted up their votes.

Seniors Hailey Hammer (3B) and McKayla Bailey (P) capped their careers with the honor, while frosh Katrina McGranahan (P) and Lauren Rose (Designated Player) kick-started theirs.

Those awards, and a host of others, were announced Thursday as Wolf coach Deanna Rafferty capped her first season with an awards banquet at the team’s field for her squad.

Hammer hauled in the most hardware, adding the team’s MVP and Best Offense awards, while Bailey (Most Inspirational), McGranahan (Best Defense), Rose (Coach’s Award) and Jasmine Melena (Most Improved) each netted honors.

Letter winners:

Bailey
Kyla Briscoe
Tiffany Briscoe
Robin Cedillo
Hammer
Jae LeVine
Hope Lodell
McGranahan
Rose
Monica Vidoni

Melena, Heather Nastali and Kailey Kellner rounded out the Wolf roster, which went 7-12 overall, 5-4 in league play.

Everything’s coming up Roses!!

The best photo ever taken of a girl who has no freakin’ clue she’s about to be pick-pocketed by the incoming Lauren Rose.

There was too much awesomeness to contain in one body, so they split into Wonder Twins.

Lauren and Kayla Rose may only be freshmen at Coupeville High School, but the duo, who celebrate a joint birthday today, are already stars.

If there has ever been a moment in their young lives when they weren’t smiling, I have yet to see it.

Whether competing for the Wolves, cheering for each other and their classmates, or bouncing through the stands, harassing their parents for snack money, the Rose sisters are whirlwinds of joy and positive energy exploding across the universe.

Both played volleyball for CHS, while Lauren is a three-sport dynamo, adding in basketball and softball to the mix.

Of course, both are more than mere athletes, coming off as smart-as-a-whip, friendly, outgoing young women.

Whether Lauren is gunning down would-be base stealers who foolishly dare to run on her arm from behind the plate, or Kayla is snapping photos, they are a pair to make Coupeville proud.

Plus, unlike the equally awesome Luvera twins, Ana and Ivy (sorry girls), I can actually tell them apart, which is super helpful.

For me, at least…

As the Roses celebrate today, I want to wish both of them the best. May you have much cake as you kick-off another year together.

Two bright, shining stars twinkling, not in the skies above, but right here among us in Cow Town.

Happy birthday, Lauren and Kayla!
