   On day two (l to r), Mikayla Elfrank, Kylie Chernikoff and Lita Woollet captured the spotlight.

   Wednesday brought a new trio to the forefront. This time it was (l to r) Scout Smith, Emma Mathusek and Kiara Contreras.

The spikes are flying and the awards are being bestowed.

Coupeville High School volleyball coach Cory Whitmore is three days into a four-day skills camp, and so far he’s honored nine Wolves for their play.

Each day, three players have received awards for exemplifying one of the program’s core covenants.

Monday, it was “attitude,” while Tuesday was all about “competitiveness.” Wednesday brought “effort” to the forefront.

Whitmore, who guided CHS to its first league title in more than a decade during his rookie season last year, has the spiker program hoppin’.

More than 50 players in grades 7-12 have shown up for the skills camp, which wraps Thursday.

   As CHS coach Cory Whitmore imparts wisdom, the line of players goes on forever.

Excitement ripples through the gym.

   Spikers (l to r) Abby Mulholland, Zoe Trujillo and Payton Aparicio earned awards for their attitude on day one of skills camp.

The gym was packed.

Day one of a four-day volleyball skills camp attracted more than 50 spikers to the Coupeville High School gym Monday afternoon.

The camp, run by Wolf coach Cory Whitmore, is open to athletes headed into grades 7-12.

A similar two-day clinic for K-6 is set for later this month.

Three players walked away with hard-earned Gatorades Monday after being honored for their attitude, the first Covenant Awards handed out at the camp.

Taking home the refreshing honors were high school spikers Payton Aparicio and Zoe Trujillo and middle school ace Abby Mulholland.

81 days.

It’s both forever and just around the corner, and it’s the gap between today and the first game of the 2017-2018 school year.

Wolf football is first up, with a road game Sept. 1 at South Whidbey, with The Bucket on the line.

After that, boys tennis and volleyball hit the ground running Sept. 5, with girls soccer the last to debut Sept. 7.

With CHS Athletic Director Willie Smith on top of things, the schedules below are already (virtually) locked-in.

Now, of course, things can and will change over the next three months (hopefully not dates so much, but times can certainly shift).

So, treasure this list, pore over it, memorize it, laminate it and light candles around it, but also don’t forget to keep an eye on the following web sites as we get closer to fall:

Welcome home, Ian Barron!!

   Ian Barron has gone from zero name-checks on Coupeville’s record board to a much more pleasing six. (Jon Roberts photos)

The 2016 CHS volleyball squad put up four new records.

The most electrifying running back in Coupeville High School history is finally getting his due.

Wednesday afternoon, after much work tracking down records, and much support and help from the school’s Booster Club, I got to witness the CHS football and volleyball record boards brought up to date.

It’s been one of several projects for which I’ve spent the past year harassing people day and night, and it’s a thrill to see it finished.

While volleyball only needed to be tweaked a bit, mainly to reflect records set last fall by Hope Lodell, Valen Trujillo and Co., the football board has been a sore point for some time.

It was only 50% filled in, and 48% of that featured incorrect records.

Now, that’s not an issue, as Ian Barron’s many rushing marks are finally being acknowledged, and the current generation of Wolves have legitimate records to dream about breaking.

Well done, one and all.

A star for every season!!

Coral Caveness is not afraid to try new things.

The Coupeville 8th grader has an extensive sports background, having pulled time as a swimmer while also playing softball, soccer and volleyball.

Now, as she heads to high school in the fall, she has her eye on a new athletic endeavor.

“In the near future cheer is on the horizon,” Caveness said. “I’ve always loved dancing and rhythm to music and such.”

This spring she’s patrolling shortstop for a successful Central Whidbey Little League Juniors softball squad, where she’s showing off her gun of an arm.

More than once she’s taken hits away from rivals, spearing balls in the hole and firing on the move, dropping the ball into the waiting glove at first to nab surprised runners.

Caveness has been a diamond dandy since she first took the field back in her T-Ball days.

“Softball will be my main sport; it’s been part of my life since I was four,” Caveness said.

As she’s progressed up the ladder, her family has been always been there for her, sometimes on the sidelines and sometimes right next to her on the field.

“My parents have helped me and supported me all the way,” Caveness said. “My dad taught me the fundamentals of the sport and has coached several years for me.”

A fan of PE, pop music and spending time with those close to her (“I’m very social and love being around friends”), she plans to “excel (in school) and get better grades.”

Regardless of what sport she’s playing, Caveness embraces the chance to enjoy herself and always keep on improving.

“I like the teamwork and the completion of sports,” she said. “I think my strengths are being a leader and my work ethic in all the sporting activities I do.

“I want to learn new ways to do stuff in all my sports and learn how to be patient, as well.”
