LeVine grapples her way to state tourney

Posted in Wrestling, tagged , , , , , on February 9, 2025| Leave a Comment »

Izzy LeVine and manager/hype man Sean LeVine hang out at a previous tourney.

She’s three-for-three.

Former Coupeville supernova Izzy LeVine, now a junior at Casteel High School in Arizona, has qualified for the state wrestling tournament for the third consecutive year.

The younger sister of Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Famers Micky and Jae overcame illness and injuries to advance out of sectionals and will join five of her teammates in making the trek to the big dance (on the big mat).

Casteel, which had nine grapplers in action, earned second place out of 20 teams at the Division 1, Section III meet.

Izzy finished fourth in the 132-pound class at sectionals, battling her way back into contention after a loss in the semifinals.

Coming into the tourney, she had won titles at her previous three events.

The Arizona state wrestling tourney goes down Feb. 21-22.

She’s a marvel on the mats

Izzy LeVine and the parental units.

She’s grapplin’ across the USA.

Former Coupeville supernova Izzy LeVine, who lives in Arizona these days, continues to pursue excellence on the wrestling mat.

The Casteel High School sophomore’s latest venture was a performance this past weekend in the girls’ high school showcase division at the 2024 US Open Championships in Las Vegas.

LeVine, who grew up on Whidbey as the youngest of Sean and Joline’s three mega-talented daughters, went 2-2 in the 135-pound weight class against some of the best competition in the country.

She entered as the #13 seed (out of 30 grapplers) and knocked off the current Utah state champion (6-0) and a wrestler from Colorado (12-2), while narrowly falling short against competitors from Michigan and California.

To be in the field, a wrestler had to have placed in their state tourney, as LeVine did, or be an All-American.

Micky and Jae’s lil’ sis is “looking forward to working toward qualifying again for next year!” according to her PR man, who doubles as her father.

One more award before the season is officially done.

Former Coupeville supernova Izzy LeVine, now a top-level high school grappler in Arizona, was named to the All-Chandler United School District girls’ wrestling team.

Micky and Jae’s lil’ sis, who placed fourth at the state meet during her sophomore season at Casteel High School, was honored as the best in the 126-pound class.

CUSD, the second-largest school district in Arizona, serves 43,000+ students from K-12 and boasts six high schools.

LeVine, who grew up haunting the ballfields and gyms in Cow Town before a family move plucked her from Whidbey prior to high school, went 47-5 during her most-recent season.

She won three of five matches at the state tourney, including a narrow loss to eventual state champ Brianna Reyes, a senior.

Both of her sisters, and dad Sean, are all members of the Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame, and mom Joline should probably be in there too.

She’s heading back to the big dance.

Former Cow Town student Izzy LeVine, the last link in a family which includes three Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame inductees, qualified for the state wrestling tourney in Arizona for a second-straight season.

Micky and Jae’s rampaging lil’ sis finished second in her weight class at sectionals this past weekend, while her Casteel High School squad won a team title.

Izzy’s lone loss at the postseason rumble came in the final, where she faced the #2 ranked grappler in the state.

Overall, Casteel is sending eight wrestlers to state this season.

The cap to the high school mat campaign is Feb. 15-17 in Phoenix.

Beat her? It is to laugh!

When will they learn you can’t beat Izzy LeVine? (Sean LeVine photos)

There be fools in Arizona.

Young women keep stepping to Coupeville alumni Izzy LeVine on the wrestling mat, and they keep ending up in the same place.

Face down, being pinned by the former Terror of Cow Town.

Izzy, younger sister of Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Famers Micky and Jae LeVine, now lives in a hotter climate, which matches her run as a grappler.

She’s now 39-2 on the season after sweeping four matches by pin at the She Devil Classic in Page, Arizona Saturday, claiming yet another tourney title.

Powered by LeVine, Casteel High School claimed a team title as well.

“I like the view from up here.”

The teen titan who spent her younger years collecting rocks for me at her older sister’s games has one dual meet left on the regular season schedule.

After that, postseason action begins, with a goal of making it to state.

Once high school grapplin’ wraps up, Sean and Joline’s youngest wild child heads out to begin her freestyle wrestling season.
