Keeping its hot streak alive, the most successful fall sports team at Coupeville High School rolled to another win Thursday night.

By the time they were done, the Wolf JV spikers had shredded visiting Chimacum 25-11, 25-11, 25-17, capturing their third straight victory and school-best sixth of the season.

Now 6-4 overall, 3-0 in 1A Olympic League play, the young guns currently have one more win than the CHS varsity girls’ soccer and boys’ tennis teams.

And they’ve done it despite being shafted a bit by the whims of fate.

With Port Townsend unable to field a JV squad this year, Coupeville’s second team will end up playing three less matches than their varsity counterparts.

The Wolves will close the JV season Monday, Oct. 26 on the road at Klahowya.

Beat the Eagles for a second time, and Coupeville will wrap an undefeated league season and claim a (mythical) league title.

Like last year’s JV girls’ basketball squad, which went 9-0 in league play, the “title” will get them no championship banner, but it bodes extremely well for the future of the Wolves’ varsity program.

Completing a three-match season sweep of the Cowboys (they beat them twice in league play and once in a “non-conference” match), the Wolves played with precision and a cold fury in their home finale.

Coupeville rained down 22 service aces and 26 kills, while notching two milestones.

The Wolves compiled a 1.94 passing average, which coach Heidi Wyman hailed as “the team’s highest of the season” and Kayla Rose converted her first-ever match point on serve.

Nicole Lester claimed player of the match honors, filling the stat sheet with five aces, two kills, a 2.33 passing average and much praise from her proud coach.

Coupeville spread out its offense, with Allison Wenzel collecting six kills, while Sarah Wright (five), Ashley Menges (four) and Maddy Hilkey (two) all chipped in.

Menges doled out a team-high 16 assists, while Wright pounded home 10 service aces.

Kenzi LaRue, Maggie Crimmins, Kameryn St Onge and Abby Parker round out the roster of the best team CHS has to offer this fall.

Wolf JV coach Heidi Wyman and Allsion Wenzel (8) consult the magical iPad, while Maggie Crimmins (pink laces) and Kenzi LaRue discuss strategy.

Lauren Rose’s skills leave opposing players transfixed.

Nicole Lester, the most consistent server on the court Friday, unleashes a wicked shot.

Kayla Rose lets loose with a scorcher.

Kyla Briscoe (8) gets ready to sub in for Sydney Autio.

“And that’s called kickin’ their butt!!”

Unleash the power.

It’s what the Coupeville High School volleyball squads did Friday night, with both the varsity and JV rolling to big wins over visiting Orcas Island.

Serves were sizzlin’, spikes were exploding and wandering camera god John Fisken was on hand to document all the happenings.

In between trying to get more Diet Coke out of me, he delivered these snappy pics unto us. For which we are grateful.

Sports are a perfect outlet for Nicole Lester.

The Coupeville High School freshman, who will be kicking off her school year as a member of the Wolf volleyball squad, plays multiple sports and has always been drawn in by the opportunity to spend time with friends, new and old.

“This season will be my second season playing (volleyball),” Lester said. “I started playing in eighth grade because it looked like a lot of fun and my friends played too, so I wanted to try.

“Things I love about volleyball are you make new friends and bond with the friends you already have, while working as a team.”

Lester, who also plays basketball and is trying to decide between track and softball for spring, is hard at work on fine-tuning her skill set for all of her activities.

“I don’t think there is a skill that I am the best at, but I am always motivated in working on all of my skills and not quitting when it gets hard,” Lester said. “My goal for this season is to make new friends and become a better player.

“I love to spend time working on basketball and volleyball skills,” she added. “I also love to work out.”

Away from the athletic stage, Lester enjoys country music and loves her some Sandy and Danny in “Grease.”

Family plays a big part in her life, and she knows she’ll always have fans behind her, no matter the sport.

“My mom and grandma really encourage me and help me become the person I am.”
