Cram the van.

Fresh off the most-successful season in program history, Coupeville High School volleyball will send four to the Senior All-State games.

The event goes down Sunday, Dec. 8 at Burlington-Edison High School.

The Wolves are sending veteran spikers Katie Marti, Mia Farris, and Lyla Stuurmans, as well as coach Cory Whitmore.

Coupeville’s standouts will join up with players from Adna, Forks, River View, and Okanogan to form Team Gray, which will play Team Purple in the 2B game.

Whitmore will square off with Marie Denny of Liberty (Spangle) in calling the shots.

There are four games, with 1B all-stars kicking things off at 10:30 AM.

The 2B clash is set for 12:30, with 1A/2A (2:30) and 3A/4A bouts (4:30) to follow.

Coupeville, which went 18-2, won league and bi-district crowns, and placed 4th at the state tourney, was undefeated until the final day of the season.

This continues a recent trend of sending Wolf spikers to the All-State games, with Grey Peabody, Maddie Georges, and Alita Blouin having played in recent years.

Mia Farris pounds a kill.

Katie Marti flicks the ball skyward.

“The Franchise” is the MVP.

Coupeville High School senior Lyla Stuurmans has been hailed by Northwest 2B/1B League volleyball coaches as the top spiker in the conference after a memorable final run.

Stuurmans, who helped the Wolves reel off 18 straight wins, claim league and bi-district titles, and place 4th at state, was a stat-producing machine.

She paced CHS in kills (200), solo blocks (22), and block assists (19), while also collecting 113 digs, 30 service aces, and 16 assists.

Joining her as First-Team All-Conference picks were fellow seniors Mia Farris and Katie Marti, while junior Teagan Calkins was named a Second-Team honoree.

“Mia the Magnificent” put together a strong performance across the board, delivering 174 kills and 179 digs to go with 38 aces, five assists, three block assists, and one solo block.

Meanwhile, Marti sparked the offense from the setter position, leading the Wolves with 577 assists and 58 aces. She also picked up 120 digs, 30 kills, and six block assists.

Calkins smacked 194 kills, went low for 64 digs, and rifled 33 aces. She also had 15 block assists.

Senior Madison McMillan was tabbed for Honorable Mention status, while Wolf head man Cory Whitmore was the NWL Coach of the Year.

McMillan filled up the stat sheet with 77 kills, a team-best 194 digs, four block assists, 22 assists, and 46 aces.

Concrete received the Team Sportsmanship award.

As he surveyed the results of All-League voting, Coupeville’s coach was a happy man.

“I’m so proud of the girls,” Whitmore said.

“Not only are they incredible athletes, but they’re also wonderful young adults and have been an absolute pleasure and honor to coach and spend time with.

“No surprise they got noticed by the other coaches.”

Mia the Magnificent earns big props

They noticed her.

Playing some of her best volleyball of the season over a 24-hour period last week, Coupeville High School spike sensation Mia Farris soared at the 2B state tourney.

The Wolf senior racked up 35 kills, 41 digs, eight service aces, a block assist, and a regular assist as CHS split four matches in Yakima and claimed a program-best 4th place trophy.

Now, “Mia the Magnificent” has been honored by being named to the Washington State Volleyball Coaches Association All-State Tournament Team.

She’s one of nine players selected at the 2B level, joining rivals from Manson, Freeman, Adna, Liberty (Spangle), and Colfax.

Stella Petersen, an outside hitter who led Manson to a second-straight state title, toppling unbeaten Adna in the final, was the MVP.

Coupeville went 18-2 this season, was undefeated until the final day of the season, and captured league and bi-district titles while being led by a stellar pack of seniors including Farris.
