The judges were half right.

Coupeville High School’s horse-riding superstars, Ashley Menges and Ally Roberts, hit the state fair in Puyallup and returned with a state title and a little angina.

Menges, a freshman at CHS, wowed the judges, claiming a grand championship in bareback riding and now sits atop the horse world as a state champ.

Roberts, a Wolf junior, ran into some judges who had misplaced their seeing-eye dogs, but still enjoyed her trip East.

“We unfortunately had terrible judges and all the girls I went with will vouch for that,” Roberts said with a laugh. “But my horse and I had fun!”

The duo have now returned to the volleyball court and both will see action Friday afternoon when Coupeville plays host to non-conference foe Orcas Island.

Tip-off is 4 PM, with the Wolf varsity playing in the CHS gym and the JV playing across the hall in the CMS gym.

It’s the look of excellence.

Whether in town or on the road, Coupeville High School athletes are lookin’ fresh and confident Friday morning.

On The Rock, it’s all about football, as the Wolves prepare to host arch-rival South Whidbey (7 PM kickoff) in the season opener.

Among the players counting down the hours until the Battle for The Bucket are CHS junior CJ Smith and lil’ bro, Hunter, a frosh.

The Smith family moved to town in the middle of the school last year and CJ had an impact in basketball and baseball, but this will be the first time the brothers suit up in the red and black as football players.

Way down the road, at the state fair in Puyallup, one of the younger members of a long-time Coupeville sports family is unleashing her athletic prowess.

Wolf sophomore Ally Roberts is taking a break from the CHS volleyball squad to continue her run as a horse rider extraordinaire.

She’ll be competing in multiple events this weekend, but we couldn’t wait and had to show you how she did in her first event at state.

Simple answer: she’s kickin’ some fanny.

And why not? It’s the Coupeville way.
