Cameras clickin’ everywhere.

As I went back through the photos of 2022, I was struck by how many different photographers allowed me to use their work this year.

We’ve had an explosion of Coupeville High School yearbook students putting their photos out into the world, plus Wolf moms everywhere are still the backbone of the franchise.

By the time I was done picking my favorite 20 pics from the year, there were 14 photographers represented, likely the highest total for any of my year-end collections in the decade-plus Coupeville Sports has been around.

To them, I say thank you. This wouldn’t be the same without you.

Opening night for Coupeville High School basketball brought four games, plenty of photographers working the sideline, and spirit to spare.

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.

Ace-ace-ace, in your face-face-face

Welcome to the gun show. Chloe Marzocca and Co. thrashed Darrington Thursday. (Jackie Saia photo)

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.

Wolves, Braves rumble on hardwood

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.”
