   Double winners (4 x 100 and 4 x 200), it’s (l to r) Mallory Kortuem, Maya Toomey-Stout (red hoodie), Lauren Grove and Lindsey Roberts.

One side was a rout, the other a brawl.

Winning 11 of 17 events, the Coupeville High School girls track squad crushed host Port Townsend and 2A North Mason Friday afternoon.

The Wolves, who swept all three relay races and had double individual event winners in Lucy Sandahl, Skyler Lawrence and Lindsey Roberts, finished the final regular season meet with 96 points.

That put them well ahead of PT (40) and North Mason (26).

On the boys side, three points separated the three teams.

Port Townsend slipped away with the win, compiling 57 points to North Mason’s 55 and Coupeville’s 54.

The Wolf boys won four events, with Cameron Toomey-Stout (Long Jump), Gabe Carlson (800), Jacob Martin (Javelin) and Mitchell Carroll (Triple Jump) triumphing.

Sandahl swept the 800 and 1600, Lawrence won the Shot Put and Discus and Roberts couldn’t be topped in the 100 Hurdles or Long Jump.

Mckenzie Meyer (Pole Vault) and Lauren Grove (200) rounded out the individual CHS winners.

Having wrapped a 10-meet season, Coupeville kicks off the postseason with an appearance at the Olympic League Championships May 6 at North Kitsap.

The Wolves host the league’s JV Championships May 8, then it’s on to sub-districts, districts and state for those who qualify.

Eight straight (wins that is)!!

At this point, the best you can hope for is just to not be hurt.

Face off with the Coupeville High School JV spikers and you will lose — that is pretty much set in stone — so, if you can leave the court with all your body parts in place, winner, winner, chicken dinner for you.

After being thrashed within an inch of their lives Tuesday night, Chimacum’s players had a hundred-yard stare firmly in place as they congratulated the triumphant Wolves.

The score was a tidy 25-14, 25-13, 25-7 and it wasn’t even remotely close, to be honest.

The win, the eighth straight for Wolf JV coach Kristin Bridges and her rampaging squad, lifts them to 7-0 in 1A Olympic League play, 10-2 overall.

Coupeville’s young guns have two matches left, road affairs Thursday at Klahowya and Saturday at Port Townsend.

Win both and they tie Amy King’s 2014-2015 CHS girls’ basketball squad, which also went 9-0 in league, as the best JV team in memory.

Even if they don’t get to ultimate perfection (but you’d be a fool to bet against them), these Wolves are a talented batch of fresh-faced warriors.

With 10 freshmen on a 13-player roster, Coupeville’s JV is considerably younger than Chimacum’s, which boasts six sophomores.

Talent trumps age, however.

From Raven Vick unleashing a serve that kicked off a Cowboy’s face for a point to Melia Welling making a sensational, one-armed save to Willow Vick launching a cannon shot of a spike down the line for a winner, everyone on the roster was humming.

Coupeville was firing on all cylinders at the service stripe, led by Scout Smith, who ran off nine consecutive points on her serve at one point.

Overall, she recorded 15 points on her serve, while Lucy Sandahl peppered Chimacum for 11 and Raven Vick kept the Cowboys jumping as she piled up eight winners.

Raven Vick closed out both the first and third sets with aces, while Willow Vick hit on back-to-back aces in the second set, including one that, like her sister’s earlier serve, shot up and smacked a Cowboy receiver in the face.

That sting was something virtually every Wolf foe has felt this season.

My advice? Better get used to it.

Can’t stop! Won’t stop!!

They are the hottest team in all the land.

Sparked by the wicked serves of Raven Vick and Lucy Sandahl, the Coupeville High School JV spikers strolled to a straight-sets win Tuesday night, nabbing their sixth straight victory.

The 26-24, 25-17, 25-19 triumph, coming over visiting Klahowya, lifts the Wolf young guns to 5-0 in 1A Olympic League play, 8-2 overall.

Playing second on Dig for the Cure night, the JV squad started slowly, falling behind 6-2 and showing an uncharacteristic lack of touch at the service stripe by sending its first two offerings into the bottom of the net.

That didn’t last long, however, as the Wolves regrouped, rallied behind a nice run at the service stripe from Hannah Davidson, then settled in for a battle.

The two teams traded the first-set lead back and forth, with 11 ties, before Klahowya started to crawl away.

Up 21-17, the Eagles seemed in control.

Spoiler alert: they weren’t.

Getting the ball back after forcing a side-out, Coupeville tossed the ball to Vick, and the freshman phenom responded in style.

With her twin sister Willow leading the cheers, Raven broke off six straight points with a serve that kicked like a mule and took off Klahowya fingertips as it skidded by.

The Eagles briefly rallied back into a tie, only to have their hearts broken when Sandahl made a lunging save and spun the ball in between three panicky Klahowya players for the decisive point.

Sandahl stayed hot, putting together two nice service runs of her own in the second set, while Maddy Hilkey made a spectacular running save for a winner and Davidson sliced ‘n diced with a series of big hits.

The third set was more of the same, with everyone jumping into the mix.

Peytin Vondrak, Scout Smith and (yep, her again) Sandahl were lights-out on serve.

Meanwhile, Willow Vick and Zoe Trujillo were delivering sweet winners, before Hilkey closed the match with a note-perfect drop shot worthy of a few oohs and ahs.

JV spikers serve up another win!!

It started with a bang, and ended with an even bigger one.

From the opening point, a gorgeous drop shot for a winner from Hannah Davidson, to the final big statement, a sizzling ace delivered with gusto by Peytin Vondrak, the Coupeville High School JV spikers were electric Thursday night.

Crushing visiting Port Townsend 25-10, 25-17, 15-5, the Wolf young guns rolled to a flawless 3-0 in 1A Olympic League play, 5-2 overall.

CHS coach Kristin Bridges and her squad have won three straight, and made it look easy all the way.

Nothing was different Thursday, as the Wolves used a note-perfect service game to completely take the air out of the RedHawks.

Zoe Trujillo and Scout Smith led the way, each lashing 17 winners on their serves, combining for more than half of the 65 points won by Coupeville.

While long runs at the service stripe by both Wolf snipers naturally limited the opportunities for anyone else, when she had the ball in her hand, Lucy Sandahl was just as efficient.

The CHS frosh won seven points on her serve, pulling off back-to-back aces at one point and launching another missile that got “VICIOUS” spelled all in caps in my notebook.

After the match, Sandahl also earned public praise from varsity coach Cory Whitmore, which probably matters more than me writing all in caps.

Probably.

When the ball was in play, which wasn’t often, the Wolves made quick work of things.

Jillian Mayne pulled off her best play of the season, going low to save a ball and then spinning it back over the net for a winner, while Maya Toomey-Stout bounced around as the Mad Tipper, and the Vick sisters, Raven and Willow, chased down everything in sight.

The calm at the center of the hurricane, as always, was ever-dependable Maddy Hilkey, a veteran leader whose presence under pressure keeps her younger teammates focused.

Young guns come out blazing!!

Lucy Sandahl

Lucy Sandahl was a precision passing machine Tuesday night.

Few reserves? No big deal.

Splitting their roster so they could play two matches Tuesday, the Coupeville High School JV spikers put up a strong fight against much-larger Bellevue Christian.

The seven girls who stayed in the high school gym — Maddy Hilkey, Hannah Davidson, Scout Smith, Nicole Lester, Allison Wenzel, Sarah Wright and Zoe Trujillo — fell in three tough sets, losing 25-21, 19-25, 15-10.

Meanwhile, the spikers who went next door — Lucy Sandahl, Willow Vick, Maya Toomey-Stout, Peytin Vondrak, Emma Mathusek, Raven Vick and Jillian Mayne — came away winners, sweeping their C-Team match in straight sets.

With one of his assistants out for the night, Wolf varsity coach Cory Whitmore took the reigns for the C-Team and was happy with what he saw unfold in the middle school gym.

“I was really impressed with our consistency on passing,” he said. “That’s been a particular focus for us and all the girls really stepped up tonight.

“Our service, especially after the first set, was very strong, as well.”

If there was a game ball to give out, it would have gone to Sandahl.

“Lucy got to just about every ball and put them all into play,” Whitmore said. “She did a really nice job of distributing the ball.”

Back in the high school gym, JV coach Kristin Bridges started with one sub on the bench and almost ended up one player down.

Davidson hurt her ankle and spent part of the match with an ice pack on it, while Trujillo took a shot to the nose.

Both Wolves proved to be tough warriors, though, and ultimately finished the match on the floor together, still playing.

When she was able to stay on both feet, Davidson teamed with Wright to provide a solid one-two punch of big hitters.

Lester lashed a scorching winner deep into the farthest left corner, chipping off a few flecks of paint as the ball exploded on the end line, as well.

Wright was the star of the show, taking full advantage of numerous opportunities, sending balls kicking left, right and then down an opponent’s throat.

Her defining moment came late in the second set.

With Bellevue having clawed back from a 10-point deficit to close the lead to 22-18, the Wolves were reeling a bit and needed a shot of confidence.

Up stepped Wright, who uncorked a high, hard one that split two Vikings defenders, caught the back line, slammed into the gym wall and rebounded halfway back down the court.

As she walked away, huge smile on her face, the only sound you could hear in the gym was the sound of Bellevue player’s knees knocking together as they trembled in fright.
