Saturday spikes, serves sizzle

Lyla Stuurmans gets low to keep a ball in play.

It was a battle royal for the heart of the Island.

Or at least a rare weekend volleyball showdown for middle school neighbors.

Thanks to a reshuffled schedule brought about by reffing issues, Coupeville and Langley clashed Saturday on the southern tip of Whidbey, with the Cougars taking two of three matches from the Wolves.

How it all played out:

 

Level 1:

Coupeville’s top spikers fought hard all day, coming back to win the third set but drop the match 25-19, 25-15, 7-15.

The loss leaves the Wolves at 0-6 on the season, heading into a home match Monday with Granite Falls.

Savina Wells had the spiciest mix of serves, helping CMS win 11 points while she was anchored at the stripe, while Olivia Schaffeld (9) and Mia Farris (7) chipped in with solid work.

Also winning points on serve were Katie Marti (6), Chloe Marzocca (5), Grey Peabody (5), Taylor Brotemarkle (3), and Lyla Stuurmans (3).

 

Level 2:

Coupeville’s most-successful squad kept the good times rolling, thumping their hosts 25-13, 25-11, 16-14.

With the win, the Wolves middle franchise bounces to a spiffy 4-2.

Dropping the hammer of the gods on the Cougars was the one-two combo of Madison McMillan and Brionna Blouin, who each tallied up 18 points on serve.

Aby Wood led the support crew with 12 more, while Issabel Johnson had nine.

Rounding out the well-balanced attack were Allison Nastali (3), Skylar Parker (2), Ava Mitten (2), and Kaitlyn Leavell (2).

 

Level 3:

Langley got a bit of revenge in this one, sweeping Coupeville 25-9, 25-14, 15-4, dropping the Wolves to 1-5 on the season.

Bryley Gilbert was the top scorer for CMS, tallying up five points off of her serve, with Hayley Thomas tossing in another four.

Also scoring were Bailey Thule (3), Kaylee Clark (3), Oktober Frost (3), Kassidy Upchurch (3), Gabriella Becktell (3), Jackie Contreras (2), and Maryah Love (1).

Can’t stop the spikes (or photos)

Hayley Thomas is a better ref than the real ref. “That ball is outta here!”

Skylar Parker keeps perfect focus.

Olivia Schaffeld goes low to make the play.

Aby Wood is thrilled with what she sees. “Dang, we’re good!”

The bench offers up some support, as (l to r), Kaitlyn Leavell, Issabel Johnson, Allison Nastali, and Ava Mitten send good thoughts to the server.

The gym was rocking Monday, almost loud enough to drown out the click of the camera.

Coupeville Middle School volleyball played three rock-em, sock-em matches with visiting Northshore Christian Academy, while wanderin’ paparazzi John Fisken worked the sidelines.

CMS track strides into history

“I’m coming for all the trophies. All of them.”

Savina Wells flies through the friendly skies.

There’s a new twist to middle school track and field this spring.

Washington state is letting 6th graders compete in home meets for the first time, which meant some new faces popped up Wednesday as Coupeville hosted a three-team meet.

And the newest Wolves had an immediate impact, with top honors going to Lyla Stuurmans.

The only 6th grader in an 11-woman field in the 200, she claimed 2nd place, finishing just a second off of a Langley 8th grader.

“That was an amazing feat!” said CMS coach Jon Gabelein.

The meet, which also featured Langley and King’s, had 6th, 7th, and 8th graders competing together, with no distinction made for grades.

A 6th grade relay team comprised of Stuurmans, Mia Farris, Chloe Marzocca, and Savina Wells roared to 2nd in the 4 x 100, while Landon Roberts claimed 4th in the 110 hurdles.

Coupeville’s 7th and 8th graders more than held their own, as well, with three Wolf boys winning titles.

Joven Light ruled in the 400, Cole White out-ran the field in the 1600, and Alex Murdy sailed to first in the high jump.

CMS has two home track meets on the schedule this season, and the 6th graders will get a chance to compete again May 8 when Sultan and Lakewood come to Whidbey.

Queen of the pitch!!

In a family of sports legends whose triumphs could fill up a book, Lyla Stuurmans is busy writing her own successful chapter.

The fast-rising soccer star, who is headed into the sixth grade at Coupeville Middle School this fall, is tearing up the soccer pitch.

Her latest adventure came this weekend, when Stuurmans and her squad swept to a title in the U12 gold division at the Phillips Rimland 66 Challenge in Bellingham.

Northwest United FC, which is based out of Burlington, was on lock-down duty all weekend, surrendering just one goal across four games.

Stuurmans, who normally operates as a center back, more than answered by herself, rattling home three goals during the tourney.

The 11-year-old soccer whiz kid is the daughter of Scott and Sarah Stuurmans.

Dad was a standout basketball player at CHS back in the day, while mom is a Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame inductee.

Among Lyla’s many other sports-minded relatives is cousin Payton Aparicio, who was the CHS Female Athlete of the Year for 2017-2018.

Young booter enjoying a winning summer!!

Lyla (back, far right) celebrates with her team.

The future of Wolf soccer is tearing up the pitch this summer.

Lyla Stuurmans, who’s headed into the fifth grade at Coupeville Elementary School (unless her pro contract comes through first), is spending her days playing with Northwest United FC out of Burlington.

That squad, and its Wolf sharpshooter, are 9-0 and have won both tournaments they’ve played in this summer.

NW United swept through the Crossfire Challenge this past weekend, winning five straight games over a four-day period.

Stuurmans and company pulled off three consecutive shut-outs to open the tourney and eventually outscored their rivals 12-2.

Lyla hails from a family with a long line of athletic success in Cow Town.

Dad Scott is a former CHS hoops star and mom Sarah is inducted in the Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame for her work as a coach.

If we listed off all the sports accomplishments of her aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents, we’d be here all day.

Fair warning to her family, better hang on to your trophies, cause Lyla is coming for all of them.
