No one won like they did.

The Coupeville High School JV volleyball squad cruised to a school-best 12 wins this fall, including taking down previously untouchable La Conner in the season finale.

Along the way, third-year coach Ashley Menges got action for 11 girls, with 10 of them recording stats as the season unspooled.

Right back in stride.

Bouncing back from a rare loss, the Coupeville High School JV volleyball squad drilled visiting Darrington Thursday night.

Rolling to a 25-12, 25-19, 15-6 victory, the Wolves improve to 7-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 11-2 overall.

Coupeville’s young guns have one match left on the schedule, and it’s a doozy, as they host conference heavyweight La Conner Tuesday, Oct. 25.

The Wolves prepped for their furious finale by methodically swatting Darrington.

CHS actually trailed in all three sets for a hot moment, then found a different gear and seized control for good.

They key to the opening set was the serving of Taylor Brotemarkle, as the Wolf sophomore ripped off an 11-point run at the line to break open a 4-4 tie.

Mixing nasty aces with slightly softer serves, which the Loggers still couldn’t get back over the net, she was a lethal markswoman with a license to kill.

One of the few times Darrington staged a brief bit of resistance during Brotemarkle’s run of terror, teammate Jada Heaton soared at the net to smash a spike winner which tore off the arm of a Logger defender.

Toss in some nice work from fab frosh Teagan Calkins, both at the service line and rampaging around, dispensing spikes, and the Wolves were clicking.

Things took a brief detour into more dangerous territory in the second set, as Darrington led for a considerable amount of time.

Coupeville got big plays from folks like Aby Wood, who pumped up the Wolf faithful with a thunderous block, but the visitors proved to be resilient.

The Loggers staked themselves to a 17-12 advantage, before Coupeville — having received some slightly stern words of wisdom from coach Ashley Menges — regained its mojo.

CHS fought back to knot things at 18-18, before Katie Marti put things on ice with an extended run at the service stripe.

The ever excitable one popped an ace off a rival’s shoulder, while also slamming a serve which tore off the last flake of paint on the back line as it skipped away.

While the third set was for practice, Marti and Issabel Johnson took things deadly serious, peppering the Loggers with a string of aces to close out the night.

One point.

That was all that separated La Conner and Coupeville Tuesday night, as their JV volleyball teams waged an epic battle.

In the end, the host Braves pulled out a 25-23, 22-25, 15-13 win, keeping alive their streak of dominance.

But don’t overlook the Wolves, who are getting closer and closer to knocking the league powerhouse off its throne.

Now 6-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 10-2 overall, Coupeville’s JV has forced La Conner to a hotly contested third set the last two times the schools have met.

Tuesday’s match was ultimately a one-point affair, with La Conner holding a 62-61 edge, and upset rumblings are getting louder and louder.

Next up is a rematch in Coupeville Oct. 25, and Wolf fans will want to show up early that night.

Reflecting on Tuesday’s loss, CHS coach Ashley Menges can see where her team had La Conner’s number, and where the Wolves let the Braves slip away.

“It was a night full of ups and downs,” she said. “At some points, we were really on, and other points, we were very off.

“The first set started with a lot of point breaks going our way, and they started off with great energy and execution, but once it came down to crunch time, we let one point lost equal three points lost.”

Coupeville rebounded, however, getting stronger as the match unfolded.

“The girls recovered late in the second, playing catch up,” Menges said. “But you could tell they wanted it.

“Third set, it came down to who made less errors, and who recovered better, and we were right there. Luckily, we get redemption #2 next week.”

The bus ride didn’t bother them.

Firing on all cylinders, the Coupeville High School JV volleyball squad shrugged off the 90-mile jaunt to Darrington Tuesday, crushing the Loggers in straight sets.

Winning 25-7, 25-11, 25-15, the young Wolves improve to 2-0 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 3-1 overall, with a home match against Orcas Island Thursday next up on the schedule.

For third-year head coach Ashley Menges, the night was a long one, but also a very rewarding one.

“It was a very cohesive night, with everyone doing their job and just playing clean, which is usually our goal each game,” she said.

With star hitter Madison McMillan sitting out the third set so she’d be eligible to play up to three frames in the varsity contest, Menges shuffled her lineup in the finale and got the same great results.

“We switched some things around and even then, everyone just did their job and helped each other through the confusion,” Menges said.

“All in all, it was a solid game and a solid three sets, and I’m very happy to see that so early into the season.”

Tuesday stats:

Taylor Brotemarkle — 1 kill, 3 digs, 1 assist, 5 aces
Carly Burt — 1 dig
Teagan Calkins — 6 kills, 3 digs, 1 ace
Jada Heaton — 5 kills, 1 dig
Katie Marti — 3 kills, 1 dig, 19 assists, 9 aces
Madison McMillan — 3 kills, 3 digs, 9 aces
Grier Mooney — 2 aces
Aby Wood — 4 kills, 2 digs, 1 ace

“It was so fun!”

Ashley Menges has spent a good chunk of her volleyball career beating South Whidbey, first as a player, now as a coach.

Chalk one more W up for Smashley, as her Coupeville High School JV spikers went to Langley and swept the Falcons Monday night.

Playing with precision and power, the Wolves rolled 25-15, 25-12, 25-17.

The non-conference victory lifts Coupeville’s JV to a crisp 2-0 on the season, with another road match set for Tuesday against Cedar Park Christian-Bothell.

“Throughout the first two sets, I really couldn’t have asked for much more than I did in the very beginning,” Menges said.

“They kept great communication and energy for both sets, played clean and had very little errors throughout, and they just had fun, which is really when they play at their best.”

Coupeville got solid work from everyone on the floor, with a few really grabbing the spotlight in the Island rivalry clash.

“Madison (McMillan) was playing lights out tonight; she was on fire all over the court,” Menges said. “Taylor (Brotemarkle) was passing great all night and made a lot of really great defensive plays.

“Katie (Marti), of course, was dishing it out for all our hitters, which I always love to see.”
