They built for success, spike by spike, set by set.

The Coupeville High School JV volleyball squad, which wrapped its season with a win Tuesday, showed steady improvement under coach Alita Blouin.

The proof was in the record, where the young Wolves captured seven wins in their final 10 matches.

And it was there on the floor, where they played with increasing confidence.

The future is bright for the rising spikers, many of whom are captured in the pics seen above and below.

It was short but sweet.

Limited to (almost) one set Tuesday night thanks to Friday Harbor needing to haul tail back to the ferry, the Coupeville High School JV volleyball squad beat the visiting Wolverines 23-17.

The victory, coming in the season finale for Alita Blouin’s spikers, lifts them to 6-4 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 7-8 overall.

The young Wolves finished the season on a torrid run, winning seven of their final 10 matches as they grew in confidence and jelled as a team.

Tuesday’s tilt barely happened, as Friday Harbor was seriously tardy after some transportation snafus, with the varsity match starting 45+ minutes late and being played first.

By the time the JV took the floor, they were being pushed hard by a 6:30 PM kill time but took advantage of what floor time they could.

Coupeville led, start to finish, with Emma Leavitt and Olivia Martin peppering nasty service aces, and Annabelle Cundiff slicing a winner while patrolling the net.

A strong run at the service line from Cassandra Powers pushed the lead out to 18-8, before Friday Harbor rallied a bit.

But just a bit, with Emily Rains launching a looping shot which split the defenders and skipped away for a winner, before Cundiff delivered another slicer for which the visitors had no answers.

The Wolves get some last-minute advice from their coaches. (Leann Leavitt photos)

Learn under fire, build for the future.

Charging into the lion’s den Saturday, the Coupeville High School JV volleyball squad squared off with opponents from much-larger schools at a tournament in Bellingham hosted by Meridian.

Playing big-timers like Nooksack Valley, Sedro-Woolley, and Lynden, the young Wolves picked up valuable lessons and saw plenty of floor time.

“I’m really proud of the way they played,” said CHS coach Alita Blouin.

“Effort never took a dip, and they persevered through this week. They kept at it even when the score wasn’t in our favor and kept on fighting.”

Olivia Martin launches a laser.

The tourney capped a busy week for the Wolves, who had played three times in the previous five days, with regular-season matches against Cedar Park Christian-Bothell, Friday Harbor, and Concrete.

The middle one of those bouts was a road trip, as well, meaning Coupeville’s spikers are probably looking forward to resting Sunday.

Before immediately jumping back into things Monday when La Conner comes to Cow Town.

Having the chance to endure an all-day tourney will pay benefits in the future, however, Blouin said.

“It was all tough competition, but I think it was a positive experience to see bigger competitors. And also a good confidence boost to see that we can hang with them.”

Battle tested and ready for more.
