#33 is #39.

Coupeville High School senior Haylee Armstrong, who wears the double-three to honor her late cousin Adam Garcia, is the leading active scorer for the Wolf girls’ basketball program with 305 points and counting.

That leaves her less than 50 points from cracking the top 30, and 133 off the top 20 all-time.

Hot on her heels, though, is junior Tenley Stuurmans, sitting at #55 with 234 points.

Having passed dad Scott (188) last season, Tenley is now just 24 points away from supplanting big sis Lyla (257) for the family scoring title.

That, and other intrigue, will play out this winter as the Wolves hit the hardwood once again.

In preparation, a look at the girls’ all-time scoring chart, which covers 1974 to present, with players eligible to play this season marked in bold.

Willow Leedy-Bonifas prepares to unleash hot death on her rivals. (Jackie Saia photo)

Things ended prematurely.

Unable to lock into a consistent killer mode Monday, the Coupeville High School varsity volleyball squad was swept out of the playoffs by a suddenly hot Friday Harbor team.

Led by the thunderous spikes of sophomore Kristina Girvan, the Wolverines, who started the season 1-6, have now gone 5-2 in the second half.

That run includes beating Orcas Island in the regular season finale to claim the last berth to the District 1/2 tourney, followed by postseason wins over Summit Atlas and Coupeville at the CHS gym in Monday’s three-team tilt.

The Wolverines had little trouble with Summit, sweeping an overmatched foe off the floor 25-8, 25-9, 25-8, before returning to the floor and avenging two regular-season losses to the Wolves by KO’ing their hosts 25-18, 25-22, 26-24.

Friday Harbor advances to play at Auburn Adventist Academy Tuesday, while Mount Vernon Christian hosts La Conner, kicking off a double-elimination rumble which will ultimately send two teams on to the 2B state tourney.

Coupeville, which was the #2 seed from District 1 behind MVC, ends its season at 8-8.

While that’s an improvement on last year’s 5-10-1 finish, the season ended in a way Scout Smith and her spikers were not planning on.

In both of the regular season bouts with Friday Harbor, things were close, but CHS won the eye test as the better team, able to control the net and pull away each time the scrappy Wolverines made a run.

Not so much Monday, as Girvan slipped free time and again and unleashed some nasty lasers over, around, and sometimes straight through the outstretched arms of the Wolf blockers.

The first set, as expected, was a brawl, with neither team able to pull away as Coupeville clung to a 15-14 lead midway through.

Haylee Armstrong and Willow Leedy-Bonifas cracked off ferocious serves, while Zariyah Allen, Kennedy O’Neill, and Tenley Stuurmans won battles at the net, with the Wolves fighting frantically for every point.

One rally in particular stood out, as Leedy-Bonifas made a sweet running save on a wayward ball, setting up Lexis Drake for a well-placed kill to push the Wolverines back on their heels.

Unfortunately for Coupeville, the visitors found their stride while leaning back, ripping off nine straight points to turn a slugfest into a romp.

Rhylee Inman stopped the bleeding for a brief moment with a winner at the net set up by Stuurmans flying out of bounds while flipping the volleyball back over her head, but Girvan walloped a bullet at set point to deliver an emotional sucker punch for Friday Harbor.

Down a set after sweeping the Wolverines the first two times around, Coupeville sputtered to open the second frame.

But trailing 8-2, CHS got a badly needed boost from Armstrong, who peppered Friday Harbor with low, screaming serves o’ death, ripping off four straight points to give the home team life.

Not that you would know it from a decidedly lackluster Wolf student section, which spent much of the night being shouted down by a handful of visiting parents before finally coming to life late in the match.

Friday Harbor survived Armstrong’s heroics and actually stretched the lead back out to 22-14 before Coupeville put together its best sustained run of the night.

The key?

Haylee the Hammer returning to the service stripe.

The senior standout made life difficult on the Wolverines, mixing saucy aces with balls which the visitors popped up, only to watch be promptly put back down by Drake and Stuurmans.

With Armstrong playing like a wild woman in a bid to keep her high school volleyball career going, Coupeville got all the way back to 22-22 … only to see Friday Harbor slip away with a mini 3-0 run to go up two sets to none.

Backs to the wall, the Wolves scrapped hard in what would be the final frame of the season, and, finally, the student section took control of its own gym, creating a wall of noise as Coupeville led for most of the set.

Arianna Cunningham whaled on a ball, sending a spike skidding across the court to kick things off, followed by Drake and Stuurmans mashing winners into teeny-tiny gaps in the defense.

At the service line, fab frosh Allen and Inman came up big, combining to win seven points as CHS got the lead out to 16-9, and seemed to still be in control up 20-15.

It wasn’t to be, however, as Friday Harbor tied things up at 20-20, fell back behind at 21-20 after O’Neill sliced a winner, then surged ahead at 24-22.

Coupeville fought off two match points to prolong things, but match point #3 ended in a familiar fashion, with Girvan rising up and blasting one final, brutal kill right down the heart of the court to send her squad on to the next round.

The Wolves, who started the season 1-4 after several hard-fought non-conference losses, showed great growth as the second season with Scout Smith at the head of the program played out.

Coupeville won seven of its last 11 matches, including nabbing victories against traditional powers La Conner and Forks, while pushing undefeated Northwest 2B/1B League champs Darrington to five sets in a narrow loss.

Three seniors — Haylee Armstrong, Lexis Drake, and Capri Anter — graduate, while freshman Rhylee Inman and her family are moving out of state at the end of the school year.

Current juniors Tenley Stuurmans, Arianna Cunningham, Isa Mc Fetridge, and Willow Leedy-Bonifas, sophomore Kennedy O’Neill, and dynamic freshman Zariyah Allen can all return next fall.

 

Monday stats:

Zariyah Allen — 5 kills, 1 dig, 1 solo block
Capri Anter — 7 digs, 1 assist, 2 aces
Haylee Armstrong — 4 digs, 7 assists, 6 aces
Arianna Cunningham — 7 kills, 9 digs
Lexis Drake — 5 kills, 3 digs
Rhylee Inman — 3 kills, 1 dig, 2 aces
Willow Leedy-Bonifas — 8 digs, 1 assist
Kennedy O’Neill — 2 kills, 6 digs
Tenley Stuurmans — 5 kills, 6 digs, 12 assists, 1 ace

Their bounce-back game is impressive.

Returning to the floor less than 24 hours after absorbing a narrow loss to high-flying Mount Vernon Christian, the Coupeville High School varsity volleyball squad unleashed holy terror on East Jefferson.

Rattling the visiting Rivals with an assortment of brutal kills and precision tips Saturday, the Wolves stormed to a 25-11, 25-23, 25-18 non-conference win to even their record at 6-6 on the season.

Scout Smith’s spikers have three regular-season bouts left to play, with a trip October 20 to La Conner next up on the schedule.

Saturday the Wolves hit the floor with one mission — destroy, then destroy some more.

Consider it mission accomplished.

CHS junior Tenley Stuurmans, who stuffed the stat sheet, kick-started the good times by peppering the Rivals with a variety of unhittable serves.

Meanwhile fab frosh Zariyah Allen mashed one of the few returns for a wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am kill to keep the visitors on their toes.

With Kennedy O’Neill and Arianna Cunningham joining the never-ending hit parade, followed by Stuurmans unleashing a brutal kill which hit like a nuclear bomb going off somewhere in the desert, the Wolves shoved the lead out to 13-3 and never relented.

Wolf freshman Rhylee Inman, a rodeo star who can also knock the stuffing out of a volleyball in her spare time, socked another applause-worthy kill, with Stuurmans sealing the opening set win with another long, impressive run on her serve.

While sets #2 and #3 were a bit closer, at least in terms of points scored, Coupeville remained in control all afternoon.

Stuurmans (who else?), Willow Leedy-Bonifas, and Haylee Armstrong operated with precision at the service line in the second frame, while Inman collected back-to-back kills, using her long reach to dominate play at the net.

East Jefferson did briefly seize the lead at 17-15, but an Inman kill tied things at 18-18, then a series of tip winners from O’Neill and Stuurmans pushed the Wolves ahead for good.

The Rivals stayed close in the third set until Allen unleashed a spike winner off the back corner to bust a 6-6 tie, with Coupeville’s power advantage eventually becoming impossible for the visitors to overcome.

Down the stretch the Wolves got key plays from Lexis Drake and Capri Anter, while Stuurmans, who notched numbers in all six primary stat categories Saturday, seemingly got stronger as the match played out, delivering some of her most thunderous winners in the waning moments.

In short, Coupeville’s team-wide performance?

Brutal and beautiful all in one, exactly the way their coach drew it up.

 

Saturday stats:

Zariyah Allen — 4 kills, 7 digs, 2 block assists
Capri Anter — 1 kill, 5 digs, 1 assist
Haylee Armstrong — 4 digs, 16 assists
Arianna Cunningham — 5 kills, 8 digs
Lexis Drake — 2 kills, 2 digs, 1 block assist
Rhylee Inman — 6 kills, 2 digs, 1 block assist
Willow Leedy-Bonifas — 14 digs, 1 assist, 3 aces
Kennedy O’Neill — 5 kills, 3 digs
Tenley Stuurmans — 10 kills, 13 digs, 13 assists, 2 solo blocks, 2 block assists, 9 aces

She’s bonafide.

Coupeville High School junior Tenley Stuurmans has been tabbed as an Athlete of the Week winner by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association.

The Wolf standout was honored for her work during a run of three matches where she led CHS volleyball to league wins over Concrete, Friday Harbor and La Conner.

During that week she tallied 31 kills, 55 assists, 21 digs, 11 aces, 3 solo blocks, and 4 block assists.

For the season, Stuurmans leads the Wolves in four major statistical categories as she pursues her fourth career state tournament appearance across volleyball and tennis.

Long matches are a fickle mistress.

Coming off a five-set win over La Conner, the Coupeville High School varsity volleyball squad almost made it two epic victories in a row before falling just short at Darrington Thursday night.

The 23-25, 25-22, 25-15, 18-25, 15-9 win keeps the Loggers undefeated in Northwest 2B/1B League play at 3-0, trailing just Mount Vernon Christian (5-0) in the standings.

With the loss, Coupeville drops to 4-2 in conference action, 4-5 overall, and sits in third place in the seven-team league.

Up next is another road trip, this one to Orcas Island October 14, before Scout Smith’s spikers finish the regular season with four of five at home.

Thursday’s royal rumble was a match full of streaks, with the final one proving fatal for the Wolves.

Having rallied to capture the fourth set, Coupeville jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead in the final frame thanks to some pinpoint serving from Haylee Armstrong.

It didn’t hold up, however, as Darrington closed the match on a 15-5 run.

The Wolves kept things close, forcing a tie at 7-7 thanks to a Tenley Stuurmans kill that blew up the backline followed by an ace off the fingertips of Willow Leedy-Bonifas.

But the Loggers proved golden after that, slipping away at the end as Coupeville had a run of shots which narrowly missed staying inside the court.

The teams opened the match with a ferocious first set which saw 11 ties and multiple lead changes, with neither squad able to pull away until Arianna Cunningham lashed a knee-buckling spike winner to bust a 23-23 tie.

Capri Anter and Cunningham led the way at the service line in the first set, while Stuurmans was an equal opportunity mashing machine, scalding every Logger player at one point or another with a series of wicked kills and elegant tips.

With the first set in hand, Coupeville was on the cusp of going up two sets to none, leading 21-15, only to go cold as the Loggers closed the frame on a torrid 10-1 run.

Before then, the Wolves got another batch of Stuurmans winners, along with Isa Mc Fetridge peppering Darrington with hard-to-hit serves.

Seemingly stunned a bit by losing its momentum, Coupeville struggled through much of the third set.

Down 10-4 early, the Wolves did rally to force a brief tie at 11-11, with Lexis Drake and Stuurmans playing strongly at the net, but Darrington once again proved to be the streak queens, using a 14-4 tear to push CHS to the brink.

Coupeville had an answer, fighting back from an early deficit in set #4 to keep the night hopping.

Drake pounded a kill off a Logger arm to stake the Wolves to their first lead at 7-6, the margin soared to 14-9 as Cunningham floated in mid-air and flicked a winner between bodies, and then … another Darrington streak.

Six straight points from the Loggers pushed them ahead 15-14, but Coupeville wasn’t having it.

Kennedy O’Neill shoved the Wolves back in front, slicing off a winner from the side, before Leedy-Bonifas turned a 19-18 lead into a 25-18 set win with an impressive run of serves.

That set the stage for a grand finale, which, on this night, went to the team not wearing red and black.

 

Thursday stats:

Zariyah Allen — 3 digs, 1 assist, 1 block assist
Capri Anter — 12 digs, 1 ace
Haylee Armstrong — 12 digs, 25 assists, 6 aces
Arianna Cunningham — 12 kills, 17 digs, 1 assist
