New day, new challenge.

Coupeville grad Chelsea Prescott will launch a new season of college sports in March, having made the softball roster at Medaille College in Buffalo, New York.

The former Coupeville High School Athlete of the Year, who is a freshman, played for the Mavericks volleyball program last fall.

Prescott started all 21 of Medaille’s volleyball matches, playing in all 70 sets.

She finished with 116 kills, 165 digs, 24 aces, 12 assists, three solo blocks, 11 block assists, and 148.5 points.

Now it’s back to the softball field to play a sport where she was a holy terror in high school.

A pitcher and shortstop for CHS, Prescott had a lethal bat, killer speed on the base paths, and a gun for an arm.

During her days playing for the Wolves, she helped lead the team to state as a sophomore, before capturing a 12-0 mark during a pandemic-altered senior season.

Prescott and Co. lost their junior campaign on the diamond when Washington state suspended spring sports during the early days of the pandemic.

At Medaille, the former Wolf is looking at a 40-game softball schedule with contests running between March 13 and April 30.

Kellner scorches college nets!!

Everything but the win.

Coupeville grad Kailey Kellner got her first college basketball start Monday and responded with season-highs in minutes, points, rebounds, assists and steals.

But, despite her best efforts, D’Youville College let a close one slip away in the final minutes, falling 66-58 to visiting Wells College.

The non-conference loss, coming in the home opener for Kellner and her Spartans teammates, drops them to 0-4 on the still-young season.

During her first three games playing college ball for the Buffalo, New York-based school, Kellner had come off the bench and earned decent minutes.

That changed Monday when she was inserted into the starting lineup and promptly scored D’Youville’s first six points on a pair of three-balls.

Kellner added a third-quarter layup, coming off of a steal, and a trey late in the game, to break double digits for the first time as a college player.

Her first three games? Eight points, four rebounds, one steal and one assist.

Monday vs. Wells? 11 points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals.

Kellner, who wears #33 in college, played a team-high 33 minutes in her first start.

The game was a back-and-forth fight all night, with D’Youville clinging to a 16-15 lead after one quarter.

The Spartans then busted out on a 10-2 run, sparked by Kellner’s assists, and seemed to be taking command.

It wasn’t to be, though, as Wells fought back to knot things up at 31-31 heading into the break, then inched ahead 47-44 after three quarters.

Kellner’s last trey closed the gap to 50-47, but D’Youville went a bit cold from the field down the stretch and couldn’t fight all the way back.

Wells, which captured its first win in three tries this season, was led by Carley Ryan and Kamarie Maturine, who went for 24 and 22, respectively.

Darian Evans banged away for 17 to join Kellner in giving D’Youville two players in double figures.

The Spartans get the rest of Thanksgiving week off, returning to action with a home game against undefeated Cazenovia College Sunday, Nov. 26.

Killer Kailey finding her range!!

Mark the moment down for posterity.

Two minutes and 57 seconds to play in the third quarter, second game of the season.

Ball goes up. Ball comes down. Splash city.

Kailey Kellner hit a ton of three-balls during her days running the basketball court at Coupeville High School, and now she can say she’s hit a college trey as well.

The D’Youville College freshman swished her first in-game three-ball in a Spartan uniform and finished with six points, one of the few bright spots on a night when Kellner and her teammates fell 80-50 to SUNY-Poly.

The loss, coming in the opening round of the SUNY-Canton Tip-Off Tourney in New York, drops D’Youville to 0-2 on the still-young season.

The Buffalo-based Spartans wrap the two-day event by playing the tourney hosts Saturday afternoon.

Kellner had the second-most minutes of any D’Youville bench player Friday, and she used those 13 minutes well.

She added three free throws to her trey to pile up six points, which was the second-most on the team, trailing just starter Monica June, who went for seven.

After a very-close first quarter which ended with SUNY-Poly clinging to a 20-17 lead, things took a sharp downward turn for the Spartans in the middle two periods.

SP used a 21-5 second quarter surge and a 21-12 run in the third to effectively put the game on ice.

Khristaijah Jackson paced the winning Wildcats, exploding for a game-high 26 on 12-15 shooting from the floor.

From Whidbey’s swimming pools to New York’s, the Tack family has always been one stroke ahead of the competition.

And nothing has changed.

Former Coupeville residents Ethan and Lucas Tack are continuing the family tradition, with Ethan helping his teammates repeat as public school state champions.

Two of former Coupeville Town Councilman Tom Tack’s four sons, Ethan and Lucas attend Half Hollow Hills.

Ethan, a junior, swam on 200 medley and 200 free relay squads that shattered state records.

He was joined by teammates Daniel Lee, Dylan Chan and Alex Park, winning the medley in 1:33.42 and the freestyle in 1:25.27.

Ethan also finished third in the 200 IM and 5th in the 100 fly.

Lucas is a freshman, and like his brothers, first got into swimming with the Aquajet program at Oak Harbor’s John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool.

The Tack brothers are rounded out by older siblings Spencer, a First-Team All-League soccer player during his Coupeville High School days, and Harrison.

McKenzie Rice

CHS junior McKenzie Rice

Help her now and maybe she’ll remember you when she’s on Broadway.

McKenzie Rice, a junior at Coupeville High School, is among the best and brightest Wolf Nation has to offer.

One of the leading lights in the CHS drama troupe, she also plays tennis, is a key member of the school’s band and participates in Leo’s Club.

All while beaming a quiet, mega-watt smile everywhere she goes.

Now the talented Rice has a chance to hit the Big Apple and pursue the acting bug.

She has the chance to attend a 21-day Acting Intensive Course where she would stay at Yale.

The program consists of classes in voice, text analysis, scene study, movement, and basic acting technique and is taught by professional actors, vocal coaches and university professors.

While there, she and her classmates would create their own production, while also getting an opportunity to see Broadway shows.

It would be an invaluable life experience for a talented, fast-rising young star in the making, but McKenzie needs some help to be able to go.
