Give ’em the volleyball and get out of their way.

A new generation of spiker stars arrives at Coupeville Middle School Wednesday, as the Wolves kick off a fresh season of spikes and sets.

This time around, Cris Matochi and former Wolf player Katie Kiel are the coaches, and the 20-player roster includes 6th graders to go with the customary 7th and 8th graders.

The squad will be divided into two units — Level 1 and Level 2 — with different age groups mixed.

The first matches of the season, set to tip at 3:15 PM, are against arch-rival Langley.

After that, Coupeville goes on the road for three straight, comes back to CMS for a three-match homestand, then wraps its season Oct. 25 at Langley.

The opening day roster (with jersey numbers!) for the Wolves:

 

8th grade:

Abbigail Bond (#2)
Carly Burt (#3)
Teagan Calkins (#12)
Jordaya Dowell (#7)
Brynn Parker (#14)

 

7th grade:

Capri Anter (#33)
Haylee Armstrong (#11)
Ava Ashby (#22)
Ava Carpenter (#5)
Heidi Lysene (#15)
Myra McDonald (#8)

Don’t mess with Tenley Stuurmans.

The Coupeville Elementary School 3rd grader is only one tournament into her taekwondo career, and she’s already a four-time champ.

Stuurmans, daughter of Scott and Sarah, stepped on the mat at the Island Christian Academy in Langley Saturday, emerging with seven top-three performances.

She captured titles in Extreme Weapons, Creative Weapons, Extreme Forms, and Creative Forms.

Toss in 2nd place finishes in Traditional Forms and Traditional Sparring and a 3rd place in Combat Sparring, and Stuurmans went home covered in medals.

The younger sister of soccer sensation Lyla Stuurmans, and a cousin, niece or granddaughter to about 10,000 Coupeville legends, Tenley is creating her own niche in the sports world.

She started taekwondo last spring and trains at Armstrong’s ATA Martial Arts School.
