Life moves pretty fast.

It was that way back in Ferris Bueller’s day, and it still holds true for high school sports teams.

Coming off of a big rivalry win Monday, the Coupeville High School JV volleyball team experienced a quick reversal of fortune, falling in three sets Tuesday at Bothell.

The 26-24, 19-25, 15-5 non-conference loss to Cedar Park Christian drops the young Wolves to 2-1 on the season.

“It was definitely a 180 from last night. We got a win on Monday, and we got a lesson tonight,” said Coupeville coach Ashley Menges.

“Playing back-to-back on the road is always hard, but sometimes you just have to do what’s given to you.”

The Wolves hung tough in the opening set, bounced back to claim the middle set, but ran out of steam at the end.

“I think we let a lot of outside issues affect our game tonight which is never fun,” Menges said.

“Communication and cohesion were our biggest problems, and our mental game was challenged tonight.

“It was our first test this season, where the third set decided win or lose, and I think it was good to be tested that early into the season, but it’s definitely something we’re all going to work on.”

Tuesday stats:

Taylor Brotemarkle — 1 dig
Carly Burt — 1 dig
Teagan Calkins — 6 kills, 1 dig
Jada Heaton — 5 kills, 1 dig, 1 ace
Issabel Johnson — 5 digs, 1 ace
Katie Marti — 1 kill, 14 assists, 2 aces
Chloe Marzocca — 1 kill, 4 aces
Madison McMillan — 4 kills, 12 digs, 3 aces
Grier Mooney — 3 digs, 3 aces
Aby Wood — 2 kills

JV spikers smash ‘n bash

They came out swinging.

Racking up big hits and even bigger service aces, the Coupeville High School JV volleyball squad cruised to victory Thursday night.

Pounding the ball from all angles, the Wolves peppered visiting Friday Harbor, eventually sweeping their season opener 25-11, 25-19, 25-9.

Kicking off the third season at the helm of the team for coach Ashley Menges and coming against a Northwest 2B/1B League rival, it made for a strong statement.

Coupeville controlled the action from start to finish, never trailing by more than just a single point in any of the sets.

Down 1-0 to open the match, the Wolves quickly reversed things, with Katie Marti and Madison McMillan ripping off extended runs at the service stripe.

That staked CHS to an 11-2 lead in the first set, and the rout was on.

Teagan Calkins came through shortly thereafter with a tip winner, flicking the ball between two Friday Harbor players, before Taylor Brotemarkle smashed a ball which sliced off some Friday Harbor kneecap as it found paydirt.

The second set stayed close for a bit, but Coupeville’s advantage on serve soon broke things open, with Chloe Marzocca, Marti, and McMillan all lashing aces.

Aby Wood went airborne to smack a winner to open the third set, with Grier Mooney and Marzocca poppin’ winners from the service stripe.

The set belonged to Heaton, however, as the high-energy sophomore went off.

She froze the defense while dropping a tip for a winner, came back around to deliver another artfully directed shot which sliced ‘n diced the defense, then got red-hot while serving.

Heaton ripped an ace which knocked the last bit of paint off the line, before getting an assist on a later play as Marti reared back and literally punched a winner during a scramble at the net.

Stats:

Taylor Brotemarkle — 1 kill, 7 digs
Teagan Calkins — 1 kill, 2 aces
Jada Heaton — 5 kills, 3 digs, 1 ace
Issabel Johnson — 2 digs
Katie Marti — 2 kills, 1 dig, 12 assists, 8 aces
Chloe Marzocca — 4 aces
Madison McMillan — 5 kills, 3 digs, 8 aces
Grier Mooney — 2 aces
Aby Wood — 2 kills

Summer is for softball sluggin’

The uniform may change, but the game remains the same.

Coming off another successful high school softball season, six Coupeville sluggers stayed on the diamond this summer, playing for the Whidbey Thunder travel team.

Allie Lucero, Taylor Brotemarkle, Madison McMillan, Teagan Calkins, Maya Lucero, and Mia Farris formed the core of the squad, which played almost every weekend in June and July.

“They had a very good and productive summer, getting in tons of extra reps with the bat and also in the field,” said CHS coach Kevin McGranahan, who played the role of fan this time around.

“The experience they gained will pay huge dividends for us next season,” he added. “And hopefully lead us to another league/district championship.”

McGranahan was in the stands in Federal Way this past weekend for the finale and came away pleased with what he witnessed.

“I got to see the work they are putting in firsthand, and it was impressive to see them leading their combined team of travel players and the overall growth they showed.”

The Wolves taking advantage of the extra work range from rising seniors (the Lucero twins) to sophomores-to-be (Brotemarkle, McMillan, Farris) and an incoming freshman (Calkins) who saw varsity playing time as an 8th grader.

Not only did the players benefit from their summer work, but they also helped inspire their high school coach.

“I took the summer off to regroup and rest a little,” McGranahan said. “But watching them play their hearts out has relit my passion for the game.”

The Izzinator was a dominator.

Coupeville High School senior pitcher Izzy Wells capped her prep softball career by being tabbed as the Northwest 2B/1B League MVP.

Unhittable while chucking BB’s, and owner of a booming bat when camped out at the plate, she led the Wolves to an 8-0 mark in conference action, 16-3 overall.

Coupeville, despite losing a season-and-a-half to Covid, finished 43-13 during the Age of Izzy.

Allie Lucero rakes.

Wells wasn’t the only Wolf honored by NWL coaches, as the league champs landed six players on All-Conference teams.

Senior Audrianna Shaw joins freshmen Mia Farris and Madison McMillan in collecting First-Team honors.

Making the Second-Team list were freshman Taylor Brotemarkle and junior twin titans Maya and Allie Lucero.

Wolf head man Kevin McGranahan was tabbed as NWL Coach of the Year as well.

The bats were boomin’, the catcher’s mitt was poppin’, and the Wolves couldn’t be stopped.

As the Coupeville High School varsity softball squad shredded visiting Darrington Wednesday, wanderin’ photo snapper John Fisken did what he does.
