The final run begins.

With the start of fall sports practices this week, athletes from the Coupeville High School Class of 2025 begin their senior seasons.

And yet, in a shameless bid to make Wolf Moms cry (happy) tears, we present evidence that these upperclassmen were just lil’ kids a moment ago.

“I’m gonna set this court on fire!”

The eye healed, but his love for the sport continued to blossom.

“I am a one-woman tornado of terror on the diamond, and I’m coming for all your titles!!”

The wrecking crew.

Birth of a flamethrower.

A young Jada Heaton, making catches that shocked even her hat.

Ember Light and Hunter Bronec were freshmen royalty. Can they snag a repeat as seniors?

“Oh, they’re gonna need a first aid kit when I’m done with them!!”

“This is our court now, ya old farts!!”

“Me? I crank homeruns and take names all day, baby.”

Coupeville is making a mark in the volleyball world.

Three Wolf spikers have made it through the initial round of regional tryouts as they pursue spots with the USA Volleyball (Puget Sound Region) All-Stars.

Now, seniors-to-be Mia Farris and Lyla Stuurmans and incoming freshman Tenley Stuurmans are among the final 40 players vying for 12 slots with U19 and U15 squads, respectively.

“They have a rigorous camp ahead of them, and a really great opportunity to get additional training and experience,” said Coupeville High School coach Cory Whitmore.

The older duo attend camp this weekend, June 8-9, while their younger teammate gets her shot June 15-16.

After those camps, the 12 players selected to the team will go to Des Moines, Iowa for All-Star Championships, where they’ll go spike to spike with players from across the country.

Whether they make the final squad or not, Whitmore is thrilled to see his players step up and take on new, big-time challenges.

“All three are very self-driven and made the decision to go for it all on their own, and I’m so proud of them for pursuing this opportunity to grow their game,” he said.

“It really showcases their passion for the sport and a determination to improve.

“I’m looking forward to hearing all about it!”

Farris, Downes earn Athlete of the Year honors

One smashed all the records, while the other was a master of consistency.

Now, Mia Farris and Logan Downes join a who’s-who list of Coupeville High School Athlete of the Year winners and will get their photos added to the collection in the hallway of the school’s gym.

The duo was honored Monday by retiring CHS Athletic Director Willie Smith during the year-end awards and scholarships ceremony.

Farris, a junior, played volleyball, basketball, and softball, and was a captain in all of her sports.

“Mia the Magnificent” was a First-Team All-Conference pick in volleyball and softball and helped lead the spikers to the state tourney.

Farris led the Wolves with 204 kills, while also racking up 215 digs, 47 service aces, four block assists, and three solo blocks.

During basketball season, she notched team MVP honors, playing stellar defense while scoring 104 points to tie for #2 on the squad despite missing a stretch of games with an injury.

When softball season rolled around, Farris was one of the veteran leaders for a very-young team which went 14-5, won a league crown, and narrowly missed a trip to state.

Chasing down anything and everything on defense, while crashing over the fence more than once, the centerfielder also wielded a wicked bat and fleet feet while hitting.

Farris tied for the team lead in at-bats, hitting a sweet .353 while compiling 26 runs, 21 RBI, 18 hits, 11 walks, four doubles, three triples, and a home run.

Downes, a senior, capped his CHS run by shattering school records as both a quarterback and a hardwood assassin, earning First-Team All-League honors in both sports.

He was also voted Northwest 2B/1B League MVP in basketball and was selected to play in the All-State game.

On the gridiron, Downes owns the CHS mark for most touchdown passes in a game (5), season (20), and career (40), and was key in Coupeville winning a league title and advancing to state during his junior campaign.

That broke a 33-year dry spell for Wolf football in both categories.

Not content to stop there, Downes became the only CHS hoops player, boy or girl, to record two 500+ point seasons.

After pouring in 554 as a junior, he torched the nets for 527 as a senior, the second and third-best campaigns for any Wolf at a school which began playing basketball in 1917.

Downes finished his run with 1,305 points, breaking the Coupeville boys career mark of 1,137 jointly held by Jeff Stone and Mike Bagby.

More importantly for a player who always seemed to care more about team success than individual highlights, he helped lead a senior-heavy squad back to the state tournament, the second time CHS made it to the big dance in the last three seasons.
