The family scoring record is hers.

Meadowdale High School senior Gia Powell, whose mom, dad, and aunt were all top-notch scorers on the hardwood while growing up in Coupeville, hit a big mark Tuesday.

Caleb and Terry (Perkins) Powell’s daughter, and Sarah (Powell) Lyngra’s niece, rattled home her 1,000th point while playing against Monroe.

The basketball whiz kid, who has signed to play D-I hoops for Brown University, is the lone senior on a Meadowdale squad which sits at 4-1 coming off an 83-56 dismantling of King’s Saturday.

Powell and Co.’s only loss came in the season opener to state powerhouse Lynden.

Gia’s family will split its locales next weekend.

While her teenage sharpshooter is slated to play against Lake Washington Saturday, mom, the #7 scorer in program history, plans to return to Cow Town for the 50th anniversary celebration for Wolf girls’ basketball.

   Sarah Lyngra (top) and Kimberly Bepler are returning to coach where they once played.

Before she was a Bepler, #8 was a hard-hitting Stuurmans.

The wave of former Wolves returning to coach at their alma mater continues.

Kimberly Bepler and Sarah Lyngra have been tabbed to co-coach the Coupeville Middle School 7th grade volleyball squad, which starts practice Wednesday.

They replace Alexandra Goheen, who resigned this summer, and will work alongside Casie Dunleavy, who returns as the CMS 8th grade coach.

Official approval of their hires would come at the next school board meeting.

The duo, both star athletes during their younger days (when they went by their maiden names of Stuurmans and Powell, respectively), join an impressive roster of Wolf players turned coaches.

That list currently includes Brad Sherman, Jerry Helm, Megan Smith, Larry Hurlburt, Emily (Norris) Stevens, Amanda (Streubel) Jones and Jordan Ford.

Lyngra graduated from CHS in 1987, while Bepler is part of the Class of ’91.

Both played multiple sports during their time as Wolves, and their children are following in their footsteps.

Ariah Bepler, a senior, is adding football this year to basketball and track.

He matched dad Mark by qualifying for the state track meet last year.

Lyngra’s son, Nikolai, played basketball as a freshman last season, though he has a ways to go to catch his mom, who sits as the 20th best scorer all-time in the history of CHS girls basketball.
