Once again, she rose to the moment.

Coupeville grad Lyla Stuurmans, now a sophomore at Skagit Valley College, filled up the stat sheet Tuesday as the Cardinal volleyball squad kicked off a three-game trip to the Eastern side of the state with a big win.

Powered by the former Wolf, SVC bounced host Columbia Basin 25-20, 25-22, 28-30, 25-21 in a match played in Pasco, lifting its record to 4-2 on the season.

Stuurmans and Co. now move on to play Walla Walla Wednesday, before wrapping things with a tilt against Yakima Valley Thursday.

After that, the Cardinals are off until September 9, when they travel to Oregon for multiple matches.

Scott and Sarah’s oldest child racked up 12 kills, 13 digs, and a service ace against Columbia Basin, accounting for 13 points.

Some of her biggest plays came at crunch time, as well.

Stuurmans smacked a winner to hold off a set point in the third frame, before coming back around to help Skagit close things out in the final set.

With SVC up 22-21, the former CHS Athlete of the Year peppered Columbia Basin with a kill, before serving out the match from the stripe, setting up teammate Lily Starr for the final two winners of the evening.

On the season Stuurmans sits with 33 kills, two assists, 11 aces, 53 digs, four solo blocks, six block assists, and 51 points.

A new year dawns, so it’s a good time for a quick refresher.

Coupeville High School charges admission for some sports, but not others, while all middle school athletic contests are free to watch.

CHS comes for your wallet at regular season football, volleyball, and basketball games.

It leaves you alone at soccer, baseball, tennis, softball, cross country, and track, though many of those sports do institute a fee once we get to the playoffs.

Regular season pricing for the 2026-2027 school year:

$8.00 — Adults and high school students without an ASB card
$5.00 — Visiting high school/middle school students with an ASB card (*home students are free*)
$5.00 — Senior citizens (62+)
$5.00 — Grade school (K-5)
Free — Children 5 and under

Mia Farris

She’s dangerous everywhere.

After starting the season as a libero, Mia Farris bounced back into a hitting-heavy role this past weekend as the Whatcom College women’s volleyball team scrambled to deal with injuries.

No matter where the Orca coaches placed the Coupeville grad, she responded in style, peppering a series of foes as WCC battled through four intense matches on the road.

And while Whatcom only came out on top in one of the four, dropping its record to 3-5 on the season, Farris more than held up her end of the bargain.

The former two-time CHS Athlete of the Year winner collected 12 kills, 13 service aces, one block assist, and a team-high 51 digs, while racking up 24.5 points while facing off with Spokane, North Idaho, Green River, and Wenatchee Valley.

On the season Farris has 12 kills, 12 assists, 17 aces, 119 digs, and 29.5 points, and leads Whatcom in digs, sitting 47 ahead of the team’s #2 floor scraper.

She and her teammates, who include a former Northwest 2B/1B League rival in Kayleigh Collins of Concrete, return to action September 4-5, when they travel to Columbia Basin College for another four-pack of games.

Lyla Stuurmans and her biggest fan, mom Sarah.

She showed ’em how it’s done.

Playing Wednesday on “High School Night” — where teen players were given free admission — Coupeville grad Lyla Stuurmans sparked the Skagit Valley College volleyball squad to a straight-sets win.

The Cardinals, playing on their home floor in Mount Vernon, whacked visiting Green River 25-20, 25-17, 25-18, improving to 3-2 on the still-young season.

Right at the forefront was Stuurmans, a former CHS Athlete of the Year winner, who produced a team-high 13.5 points by racking up nine kills, two service aces, four digs, one solo block, and three block assists.

Through the first five matches of the year, the former Wolf supernova, now an SVC sophomore, has tallied 21 kills, two assists, 10 aces, 40 digs, four solo blocks, six block assists, and 38 points.

Skagit returns to action September 1, facing off with Columbia Basin in a match set to go down in the Pasco region.

Stuurmans and Co. will be on the road for quite a while.

The Cardinals have 12 matches scheduled for the month of September, but don’t play at home again until they host Shoreline on the 30th.

Fall approaches.

While we’re still working our way through the tail end of summer, a new school year is just around the corner, promising new opponents and games for Coupeville teams.

While schedules can change at a moment’s notice, thanks to weather, ref issues, and a million moving parts, the slate listed below seems fairly rock-solid.

For a moment, at least.

Planning on tracking CHS squads this fall?

Start here, with asterisks (*) indicating Northwest 2B/1B League contests. And with volleyball, if there are two times listed, it’s JV first, varsity second.
