Three weeks on the chart.

Coming off wins against Forks and Orcas Island, the Coupeville High School softball squad maintains its hold on the #9 ranking in the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association RPI list.

The Wolves, who sit at 14-1 with three regular season games left on the schedule, are one of just two 2B schools to have only a single loss on their record.

River View, at 16-1 and ranked #4, is the other.

Coupeville has rolled off 13 straight wins since its only defeat, a 5-4 road loss to 3A Oak Harbor.

Aaron Lucero’s sluggers cracked the top 10 in the RPI rankings three weeks ago, debuting at #10. They moved up to #9 last week and hold firm in the same spot this time around.

They’re trending upward.

Sitting at 11-1, with just a one-run loss to a 3A school marring their perfect record, the Coupeville High School softball team continues to rise in the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association RPI rankings.

After cracking the top 10 last week, the Wolves move up one slot to #9 among 2B schools in rankings released Wednesday by the WIAA.

Up next for Aaron Lucero’s sluggers is a home nonconference doubleheader Saturday against always-testy Forks.

The rankings gods favor Coupeville on this day.

The Wolf varsity volleyball team lands in the top 10 in the assessments of two different organizations as Cory Whitmore’s squad prepares for a home match Thursday against Orcas Island.

The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association has CHS, which sits at 5-0 and hasn’t dropped a set yet, at #3 among 2B schools, trailing just Adna (7-0) and Rainier (7-1).

Meanwhile, the Washington State Volleyball Coaches Association places the Wolves at #7 in their latest tally.

Adna, Manson (8-1), Freeman (7-0), Lind-Ritzville-Sprague (8-0 and Whitmore’s alma mater), Tonasket (8-2), and Rainier comprise the top six.

Cory Whitmore discusses strategy with his spike-happy squad.

A taekwondo titan lurks in Coupeville.

Elementary school teacher by weekday, “sweep the leg” terror by weekend, Lindsey Helm got some props Monday when ATA Martial Arts revealed she was ranked in the top ten nationwide in her age group.

She was one of just two athletes from Washington state to earn the distinction.

Helm, who reps Whidbey Island Martial Arts, currently sits #9 in X-Treme weapons for second- and third-degree black belts in the 40-49 age group for women.

She’s joined in her pursuit of excellence by daughters Finley and Scotlyn, who have both been busy collecting medals of their own.

But there can only be one true mat master, and, in this house, her name is mom.

Movin’ on up.

The Coupeville High School softball team inched up from #10 to #9 in the latest RPI rankings from those scalawags at the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association.

The Wolves, who sit at 6-1 heading into a Thursday home game with Northwest 2B/1B League rival La Conner, have ten-runned their foes in each of their victories.

Coupeville’s lone loss was a one-run affair in the second game of a doubleheader with Onalaska, and even then, Kevin McGranahan’s thumpers had the tying run at third when the game ended.

Not bad for a team that starts three 8th graders, two freshmen, one sophomore, and four juniors, with no seniors on the roster.
