Everyone aims extra hard for the big dogs.

With the Coupeville High School varsity volleyball squad having gone undefeated in league play last year, followed by a 4th place finish at the state tourney, the Wolves are being hunted.

And, with a young, rebuilding team in place, other teams are getting a bit of revenge from time to time.

Thursday night that payback belonged to visiting Orcas Island, which came from behind to topple Coupeville 17-25, 25-19, 27-25, 25-19.

The loss drops CHS to 1-4 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 3-5-1 overall.

The Wolves have a prime opportunity to bounce back, however, hosting Friday Harbor, a team they have already beaten once this season, this Tuesday, Oct. 7.

After that, Coupeville closes the regular season with four of its final five matches on the road.

Thursday stats:

Haylee Armstrong — 7 kills, 9 digs, 1 assist, 1 ace
Teagan Calkins — 21 kills, 13 digs, 1 assist, 3 aces
Ari Cunningham — 4 kills, 7 digs, 3 aces
Lexis Drake — 3 digs, 1 ace
Adeline Maynes — 5 digs
Dakota Strong — 2 kills, 1 dig
Tenley Stuurmans — 1 kill, 10 digs, 31 assists, 3 aces

 

JV pulls out a thriller:

The winningest CHS team in any sport this fall is the second unit of spikers, which now carries a 3-1 mark in league play, and a 5-2 record overall.

The young Wolves latest victim was Orcas, which fell 25-14, 21-25, 15-12 in a battle which went to the limit.

A major key for Coupeville was its service game, which accounted for 16 aces, with Emma Leavitt (7) and Sydney Van Dyke (6) leading the way.

 

Thursday stats: 

Kee’Arya Brown — 1 dig
Hailey Grijalva — 3 assists
Emma Leavitt — 5 kills, 1 assist, 7 aces
Adeline Maynes — 2 kills, 3 digs, 5 assists
Isa Mc Fetridge — 2 kills, 5 digs, 1 ace
Kennedy O’Neill — 2 kills, 1 dig
Chelsi Stevens — 1 kill, 2 aces
Sydney Van Dyke — 3 kills, 2 assists, 6 aces

The road to back-to-back league titles is a rocky one.

When you’re the big dogs, everyone comes hard for you, something a rebuilding Coupeville High School volleyball squad is experiencing on a nightly basis.

The latest lesson came Thursday in the wilds of Darrington, as the Wolves, missing key starter Haylee Armstrong, fell in straight sets.

The 25-22, 25-18, 25-18 loss drops CHS to 1-3 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 2-4-1 overall.

With Armstrong sidelined by a bad foot, Tenley Stuurmans moved to outside hitter, with swing player Adeline Maynes nabbing the start at setter, where she collected a varsity career high 12 assists.

Coupeville returns to action Monday, Sept. 29, when it travels to the mainland to face non-conference foe Auburn Adventist Academy.

After that, the Wolves play six straight league contests, starting with back-to-back home matches against Orcas Island and Friday Harbor.

 

Thursday stats:

Capri Anter — 4 digs, 1 ace
Teagan Calkins — 6 kills, 5 digs, 1 assist, 3 aces
Ari Cunningham — 1 kill, 2 digs, 2 block assists
Lexis Drake — 3 digs
Adeline Maynes – 1 dig, 12 assists, 1 block assist, 1 ace
Dakota Strong — 4 kills, 1 block assist
Tenley Stuurmans — 4 kills, 13 digs, 1 assist, 2 aces

JV nipped:

The Wolves ultimately won more points (67-65), but the Loggers won more sets to claim a 25-22, 25-20, 15-25 victory.

The loss drops Coupeville’s second squad to 2-1 in league play, 3-2 overall, but also featured the JV debut for Mary Western and Darcee Dickson.

“These debuts were earned through daily hard work and dedication,” said CHS varsity coach Scout Smith. “They consistently show up day in and day out.”

 

Thursday stats:

Emma Leavitt — 1 kill, 2 digs, 14 assists, 1 ace
Olivia Martin — 1 kill, 3 aces
Isa Mc Fetridge — 3 kills, 3 digs, 1 assist, 1 ace
Kennedy O’Neill — 2 kills, 4 digs, 1 ace
Chelsi Stevens — 4 kills, 2 digs, 2 aces
Sydney Van Dyke — 5 kills, 2 digs
Mary Western — 1 dig

Volleyball can be a cruel sport.

Case in point, Tuesday’s road trip to La Conner, where the Coupeville High School varsity spikers won more points than their hosts, yet ultimately lost the match.

The Braves slipped away with a 19-25, 29-27, 25-21, 20-25, 15-13 victory, while the Wolves led on the cumulative scorecard by a 111-108 tally.

With the loss, Coupeville, the defending Northwest 2B/1B League champs, slips to 1-2 in conference action, 2-3-1 overall.

That leaves Scout Smith’s squad with some ground to make up, as it trails Mount Vernon Christian (3-0), La Conner (2-0), Darrington (1-0), and Orcas Island (1-1) in the early going.

Friday Harbor (0-2) and Concrete (0-3) round out the standings, with Coupeville slated to travel to Darrington Thursday for the fourth of its 10 league tilts.

 

Tuesday stats:

Capri Anter — 1 kill, 9 digs, 1 ace
Haylee Armstrong — 9 kills, 15 digs, 1 assist, 1 block assist
Teagan Calkins — 13 kills, 24 digs, 1 assist, 1 ace
Ari Cunningham — 4 kills, 3 digs, 3 assists, 1 ace
Lexis Drake — 1 kill, 7 digs, 3 assists, 3 block assists, 5 aces
Adeline Maynes — 1 dig, 1 assist, 1 ace
Dakota Strong — 3 kills, 1 block assist
Tenley Stuurmans — 4 kills, 8 digs, 22 assists, 1 solo block, 1 block assist, 8 aces
Sydney Van Dyke — 2 digs

The Wolf JV is off to a strong start.

 

JV wins again:

Coupeville’s second squad remained undefeated in Northwest 2B/1B League play, bouncing La Conner 25-20, 25-16, 11-15.

The victory lifts the young Wolves, who racked up 17 service aces, to a pristine 2-0 in conference action, 3-1 overall.

 

Tuesday stats:

Hailey Grijalva — 1 kill, 1 dig, 1 ace
Olivia Martin — 1 kill, 2 digs
Adeline Maynes — 1 kill, 2 digs, 11 assists, 5 aces
Isa Mc Fetridge — 3 kills, 2 digs, 1 ace
Kennedy O’Neill — 3 kills, 4 digs, 1 assist, 1 ace
Cassandra Powers — 2 kills, 2 assists, 6 aces
Chelsi Stevens — 2 kills, 6 digs, 1 assist, 1 ace
Sydney Van Dyke — 4 kills, 2 digs, 2 aces

The Red Dragon roars, as Teagan Calkins continues to fill up the trophy case.

They’re collecting wins and taking names.

Coupeville’s female athletes have been busy of late, filling early summer days with softball and soccer action.

The photos above and below, which come to us courtesy a pack of Cow Town parents, capture some of Central Whidbey’s best staying busy in their natural habitat.

Calkins, Anderson nab WIAA award

They are the present, and future, of Wolf sports.

Coupeville High School juniors Teagan Calkins and Chase Anderson have both been three-sport standouts and are on the cusp of senior years that could be legendary.

But first, the duo closed out their third year at CHS by being honored Monday with the Cliff Gillies Award.

That honor, handed out by schools across the state, is named for a former longtime Executive Director of the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association.

It recognizes student/athletes who “excel in scholarship, citizenship, and participation in activities.”

Calkins played key roles for volleyball, basketball, and softball teams this season, with the first and third of those squads advancing to state.

“The Red Dragon” piled up 194 kills, 64 digs, 15 block assists, and 33 service aces for a spiker unit which went 18-2, was undefeated until the final day of the season, and brought home a 4th place trophy — best in program history.

On the hardwood, Calkins led the Wolves in scoring with 183 points, developing a deadly three-point shot to rain pain down on her foes.

Capping things off in the spring, she anchored the team from her catcher position, gunning down runners with a flick of her wrist and helping a young pitching staff stay calm and composed.

At the plate, Calkins was a beast, as usual, spraying line drives to every field as she and her teammates roared through a 20-3 season which concluded with a four-game run at the state tourney.

Chase Anderson dreams of scoring touchdowns.

Anderson opened the fall on the gridiron and was named the Offensive MVP for the Northwest 2B/1B League.

Playing quarterback and kicking (plus patrolling the secondary on defense), he led the Wolves with 99 points.

Turn to basketball, and the points kept on coming, as he poured in a team-high 339 points, mixing in long-range bombs with lightning-quick slashes to the hoop.

Those fleet feet paid off in the spring as well for Anderson, who transitioned from baseball to track and field and made an immediate impact.

He won 15 times in his first season on the high school oval, spreading out the victories across the 100, 4 x 100 relay, 4 x 400 relay, and javelin.

Advancing to state in his first go-round, Anderson ran a leg on both Wolf relay units in Yakima, helping pick up 6th place medals in the 4 x 1 and 5th place honors in the 4 x 4.
