She’s part of Wolf Nation by virtue of her heritage.

Gia Powell plays basketball for Meadowdale High School, but dad Caleb Powell, mom Terry (Perkins) Powell, and aunt Sarah (Powell) Lyngra were all hoops stars at Coupeville High School back in the day.

Between them, the trio singed the nets for 1,519 points and the talent has filtered down to the next generation.

Gia, a three-ball droppin’ guard for the Mavericks, is heading into her senior season and now knows where she’ll play at the next level.

She’s committed to play basketball at Brown University, an Ivy League school in Rhode Island, which competes at the NCAA D-I level.

During her junior season at Meadowdale, Gia smashed school single-game records, raining down 41 points and nine treys in a district playoff win over Monroe.

She averaged 20 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.9 assists for the season.

It’s a time machine back to a different Coupeville.

Sarah (Powell) Lyngra, a local music teacher and volleyball coach who was a standout athlete at CHS growing up, is working on a project honoring her parents and the history of the town’s arts and crafts festival.

Lyngra’s mother, Beatrice Powell, had her first booth at Coupeville’s annual fest in 1972, after she and husband David moved to Whidbey a year earlier.

Now, their eldest daughter will have a booth at this year’s event, where she will sell postcard sets of photos snapped at early 70’s festivals, as well as prints of her mom’s artwork.

Beatrice Powell died in Feb. 2021 at age 86, three months after her husband passed at the same age.

Lyngra digitized slide carousels the duo left behind and has been sharing some of the photos on Facebook as we head towards this year’s fest, which is set for Aug. 13-14.
