Give ’em the volleyball and get out of their way.

A new generation of spiker stars arrives at Coupeville Middle School Wednesday, as the Wolves kick off a fresh season of spikes and sets.

This time around, Cris Matochi and former Wolf player Katie Kiel are the coaches, and the 20-player roster includes 6th graders to go with the customary 7th and 8th graders.

The squad will be divided into two units — Level 1 and Level 2 — with different age groups mixed.

The first matches of the season, set to tip at 3:15 PM, are against arch-rival Langley.

After that, Coupeville goes on the road for three straight, comes back to CMS for a three-match homestand, then wraps its season Oct. 25 at Langley.

The opening day roster (with jersey numbers!) for the Wolves:

 

8th grade:

Abbigail Bond (#2)
Carly Burt (#3)
Teagan Calkins (#12)
Jordaya Dowell (#7)
Brynn Parker (#14)

 

7th grade:

Capri Anter (#33)
Haylee Armstrong (#11)
Ava Ashby (#22)

The future is bright. And young.

When the Coupeville Middle School cross country team opens competition Saturday at the Carl Westling Invitational in Langley, half of the 15-athlete team will be 6th graders.

CMS coach Elizabeth Bitting only has a handful of veterans, with 8th grader Liza Zustiak entering her third year in the program.

Aleksia Jump is in her second year, with Ivy Rudat and Axel Marshall having participated in last year’s intramural season during the Covid shutdown.

Bitting, always among the most-positive of Wolf coaches, is rarin’ to get going.

“There is an amazing group of sixth-grade athletes! So full of energy and excitement to participate in their first season of a middle school sport,” she said.

“There is so much potential with these athletes!,” Bitting added. “With their enthusiasm and the hard work I have seen them put into workouts, I can’t wait to see what Saturday brings.”

The Westling Invitational is the kickoff to a seven-race schedule for CMS.

“This is always a fun first race to get the runner’s feet wet,” Bitting said. “In fact, with the weather forecasted, they may actually get their feet wet!!!”

 

The CMS roster:

 

8th grade:

Easton Green
Aleksia Jump
Noelle Western
Liza Zustiak

 

7th grade:

Zach Blitch
Axel Marshall
Ivy Rudat

 

6th grade:

Wyatt Fitch-Marron
Beckett Green
Emma McFadden
Laken Simpson
Mikayla Wagner
Mary Western
Marin Winger

Season lost, netters still winners

Eryn Wood swats a shot while holding court last spring.

The courts were alive with the sound of tennis balls being whacked by rackets.

And then, silence.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought a brutally-quick ending to the spring sports season, preventing Coupeville High School teams from playing any contests against rival schools.

For a Wolf tennis team which offered a mix of returning veterans and bright-eyed newcomers, that’s a shame.

But even if their season ended too soon, we can still take a moment to recognize the netters and their coaches.

The 2020 CHS girls tennis team would have been…

 

Alita Blouin
Cecilia Camarena
Kim Castro
Monica Clark
Noelle Daigneault
Emily Fiedler
Hayley Fiedler
Cassidy Holmes
Jaimee Masters
Katelin McCormick
Mary Milnes
Abby Mulholland
Avalon Renninger
Marie Roberts
Cypress Socha
Helen Strelow
Lucy Tenore
Eryn Wood
Tia Wurzrainer

Ken Stange (Head Coach)
Drake Borden (Assistant Coach)

Abraham Leyva keeps his Coupeville High School soccer career scoring record.

That was in doubt until the COVID-19 pandemic erased spring sports before any games could be played.

Denied their senior seasons, Abraham’s cousin Derek (38 goals) and younger brother Aram (29) won’t catch the first Leyva, who hit the back of the net 45 times in three seasons.

As we contemplate a lost season, a look at the players and coaches who were primed to make a run on the pitch this spring.

The 2020 edition of Wolf soccer would have featured …

 

Aiden Anderson
Owen Barenburg
Aiden Burdge
Chris Cernick
Miles Davidson
Sage Downes
Dakota Eck
Brandon Epp
Tony Garcia
Zach Ginnings
Daylon Houston
Alex Jimenez
Michael Langille
Michael Laska
Alberto Leyva
Aram Leyva
Derek Leyva
Jonathan Partida
Kevin Partida
Grant Steller
Mitchell Summers
Hunter Wilkinson
James Wood
Tate Wyman
Sam Wynn

Kyle Nelson (Head Coach)

The bats are put away, the diamond silent.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought an early end to spring sports in Washington state, denying Coupeville athletes and their rivals a chance to play.

It stings, especially for those whose senior season was erased.

But while CHS baseball players won’t get a chance to take the field, they won’t be forgotten.

The 2020 Wolf team that was to be…

 

Cameron Gates
Mason Grove
Scott Hilborn
Coen Killian
Gavin Knoblich
Xavier Murdy
Daniel Olson
Cody Roberts
Andrew Score
Sage Sharp
Johnny Valenzuela
Seth Weatherford
Ulrik Wells
Hawthorne Wolfe

Chris Smith (Head Coach)
Mike Etzell (Assistant Coach)
Matt Hilborn (Assistant Coach)
Steve Hilborn (Assistant Coach)
Bryce Payne (Assistant Coach)
James Vidoni (Assistant Coach)
