They grew up together on the pitch.

The eight Wolf booters who will be honored at tonight’s Senior Night festivities (5 PM) have been playing soccer as a team for much of their lives.

The names have stayed the same — Julia Myers, Micky LeVine, Ivy Luvera, Christine Fields, Erin Rosenkranz, Jacki Ginnings, Ana Luvera and Marisa Etzell — while their games have gotten even sharper.

Take a moment to gaze at the top pic above, which captures the elite eight during their younger days, then head out to Micky Clark Field tonight and see them one final time as they are now.

P.S. — If you miss tonight, there’s actually one more shot, as an earlier-season game against Port Townsend was cancelled by a lack of ferry service.

That game, bumped to this Thursday, is also a home game. Just not Senior Night.

   Maddie Big Time raises the question — which parent will lose it first on Senior Night? Place your bets now.

It’s their final bow. Sort of.

Five Coupeville High School volleyball players will step on to the court tonight for Senior Night, capping a run that started as a group in eighth grade (seventh grade for four of the five).

Three days later, those same girls will actually play another home match, however.

A match originally scheduled earlier in the season was postponed when Port Townsend couldn’t come to Whidbey because a wind storm shut down the ferry.

Now re-set for Thursday, that will in fact be the final home match, while tonight’s match — the original “final home match,” still gets the distinction of including Senior Night festivities.

Monica Vidoni, McKayla Bailey, Kacie Kiel, Hailey Hammer and Madeline Strasburg (she joined the Wolves in 8th grade) will be honored before the match against Klahowya.

Things kick off at 4:45, with the JV playing AFTER the varsity tonight.

To get you prepared, we poached a few pics from Wolf JV coach Amy King, who coached the girls when they were middle school players.
