Coupeville is going to the big time.
Wolf senior-to-be Lyla Stuurmans made the cut and was tabbed as one of 12 players named to the U19 Puget Sound Region All-Star volleyball squad.
That team travels to Des Moines, Iowa July 16-22 for the USA Volleyball All-Star tournament, where it will clash with rivals from other regions.
Lyla Stuurmans is one of three Wolf spikers who made the first cut in qualifying for the travel squad.
Fellow senior Mia Farris was a finalist for the U19 team as well, while Lyla’s younger sister, incoming freshman Tenley, is currently competing for a roster spot with the U15 team.
That squad will be announced next week.
Lyla is proof players from small schools can make a big impact, as her new teammates hail from bigger programs such as Archbishop Thomas Murphy, Bellevue Christian, Juanita, Meadowdale, and Arlington.
