It’s their time to shine.

With high school sports underway in Coupeville, the older Wolves will soon be joined by their middle school compatriots, who kick off fall sports action starting this weekend.

CMS features cross country and volleyball, with students in grades 6-8 eligible to participate.

Sat-Sept. 27 — @ Return of the Salmon Invitational (Sultan)

Long day, big benefits.

After traveling to Yakima for the SunDome Volleyball Festival, the Coupeville High School varsity spikers sizzled in the spotlight Friday.

The young Wolves won all three of their matches in pool play, before putting together a valiant effort against two top-flight programs in bracket action.

First-year CHS head coach Scout Smith came away from the trip pleased with how her players handled life on the same courts where the state tourney is held each year.

“A really good experience for a young team,” she said. “They showed some really great fight and determination.

“Lots of winning and lots of learning,” Smith added. “The coaching staff really liked some of the things we saw and were excited to learn areas we can continue to improve.”

Coupeville opened play by bouncing Granger (25-19, 25-19), Inchelium (25-13, 25-5), and West Valley (26-24, 22-25), advancing to the top bracket in the prestigious tourney.

The Wolves fell 25-10, 25-14 to Cashmere, and 25-15, 25-19 to Northwest Christian in a preview of the kind of teams they would square off with if they earn a trip to the big dance in November.

For now, CHS returns to match play Tuesday, Sept. 16, when it travels to Friday Harbor for the Northwest 2B/1B League opener.

Tournament stats:

Capri Anter — 11 digs, 1 assist, 2 aces
Haylee Armstrong — 12 kills, 21 digs, 1 assist, 7 aces
Teagan Calkins — 29 kills, 22 digs, 2 block assists, 5 aces
Ari Cunningham — 5 kills, 13 digs, 1 assist, 1 block assist, 3 aces
Lexis Drake — 9 kills, 9 digs, 3 block assists
Adeline Maynes — 1 dig, 5 aces
Dakota Strong — 10 kills, 1 dig, 1 block assist
Tenley Stuurmans — 4 kills, 10 digs, 56 assists, 1 block assist, 18 aces
Sydney Van Dyke — 1 kill

They were born to spike.

Former Coupeville High School supernovas Mia Farris and Lyla Stuurmans are off in college now, but they continue to fill up the stat sheet every time they step on a volleyball court.

Farris, a freshman at Whatcom College, has played in all eight of her team’s matches, racking up 25 kills, six assists, 75 digs, one solo block, six block assists, and nine service aces.

She leads the Orcas in digs, and is tied for top honors in most sets played, having graced the floor in 26 frames.

Meanwhile, fellow CHS Class of 2025 grad Stuurmans is firing off bombs as part of the volleyball squad at Skagit Valley College.

The former Northwest 2B/1B League MVP has played in 11 of 13 matches for SVC, with 66 kills, 29 digs, two solo blocks, 24 block assists, and 11 aces.

“They scrambled well and served tough.”

Both of Coupeville High School’s volleyball teams put up strong efforts on their home floor Tuesday, impressing varsity coach Scout Smith, but it wasn’t quite enough to knock off one of the toughest rivals in the region.

Nooksack Valley, a powerhouse across the board in girls sports, emerged with a pair of non-conference victories, dropping both Wolf squads to 1-1 on the young season.

The Wolf JV opened the night with a bang, taking the first set of its match by a 25-23 margin.

After that, however, the visiting Pioneers evened things by taking the second frame 26-24, before sealing the win with a 15-7 run in the third.

At the varsity level, a rebuilding Coupeville contingent got stronger as the match played out, but ultimately fell 25-12, 25-16, 25-18.

Both CHS teams have some time to work on fine-tuning things, returning to the court Tuesday, Sept. 16, when the Wolves travel to Friday Harbor for their Northwest 2B/1B League opener.

Kennedy O’Neill strides into action.
