The hard work paid off.

The Coupeville High School Class of 2024 raked in a hair over $366,000 in local scholarships alone, not counting what individual grads may have received from colleges.

That’s a testament to both the generosity of Central Whidbey residents, businesses, and organizations, and the power of what volunteering accomplishes.

A bevy of awards and scholarships were distributed Monday at a ceremony at CHS headed up by Principal Geoff Kappes.

No tennis courts, no worries.

Making the best out of an odd situation, the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis team celebrated its seniors Wednesday the way it has played all of its matches this season — on the road.

This time that meant popping over to Town Park, where the team’s 12th graders, Kaitlyn Leavell and Skylar Parker, played a pro set against each other.

Refreshments were enjoyed, flowers were bestowed, silly string was fired off, and the Wolves honored the core of its team, who won’t be playing next season when currently under-construction CHS courts are finally available.

They’re two programs in very different places.

University Prep had 41 girls try out for tennis this season, and fields three teams, while Coupeville has eight players total, one of whom was away on a mission trip Saturday.

But the plucky Wolves, who are also playing their entire campaign on the road while new courts are built at CHS, didn’t go down easy while playing in Seattle.

Winning both singles matches, with senior team leader Skylar Parker rallying to pull out her victory in a third-set tiebreaker, Coupeville was narrowly nipped 3-2.

The non-conference loss to the Pumas drops the Wolves to 0-5, but team win/loss records aren’t the main objective this year.

Instead, it’s crafting a base of players who can help build the program, and a lot of that may begin with Tenley Stuurmans, just an 8th grader.

She ripped 10+ service aces past her foe Saturday, while her older teammates showed equal fight in their matches.

Kauri (Hamilton) and Sofie (Phay) had some great rallies and were more aggressive at the net, which is great improvement,” said CHS assistant coach Starla Seal.

Hafa (Silva De Campos Conceicao) and Delanie (Lewis) had some beautiful rallies as well.”

Seal and Tim Stelling took over the net program after Ken Stange retired and are intent on getting the roster depth back to where it once was.

With that in mind, the Wolf coaches hope to hold a tennis camp this summer for students in grades 3-8 to build interest in the net program.

Meanwhile, the current roster gets right back at it next week, with trips to The Bush School and Friday Harbor on the schedule.

 

Saturday’s results:

1st Singles — Skylar Parker beat Marrissa Du 3-6, 6-2, 10-4

2nd Singles — Tenley Stuurmans beat Laura Caposella 6-3, 6-3

1st Doubles — Parker/Kaitlyn Leavell lost to Tenraye/Afomeya 6-3

2nd Doubles — Delanie Lewis/Rafaela Silva De Campos Conceicao lost to Sofia Delgado-Pack/Bethania Bahru 6-1, 6-2

3rd Doubles — Kauri Hamilton/Sofia Phay lost to Karina Moralles/Sadie Bloom 6-0, 6-2

They’re out there, if you look hard enough.

With their home stomping grounds out of service this spring as new courts are built, Coupeville High School netters are on a season-long road trip.

But enterprising yearbook photographers tracked down their fellow Wolves playing at South Whidbey, and the pics above and below come to us courtesy them.

The roster is thin, but the program is still alive.

That’s the big positive to take away from the opening match for the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis team.

The Wolves only had five players ready to go Wednesday, but those netters put up a good scrap with an always-strong South Whidbey squad before falling 5-0.

As it waits for its new courts to be finished, Coupeville is spending this spring on the road, and will get back at it Friday with a trip to Friday Harbor.

 

Wednesday’s results:

 

1st Singles — Skylar Parker lost to Baylie Kuschnereit 6-2, 6-2

2nd Singles — Kaitlyn Leavell lost to Catie Beech 6-1

1st Doubles — Brynn Parker/Leavell lost to Pearl Buck/Mikaela Nelson 6-0, 6-0

2nd Doubles — Kauri Hamilton/Rafaela Silva De Campos Conceicao lost to Carlie Kuschnereit/Kayla Schiavone 6-0, 6-0

3rd Doubles — Leavell/B. Parker lost to Natalie Olson/Ryalyn Rook 6-1
