Lauren Rose

   Lauren Rose tops the CHS spikers in four categories, yet still finds time to swing by and watch the Wolf booters play.

Stats are not just for football.

Every week we plop down an updated list for Coupeville High School football, and then, boom, this afternoon I finally notice the Wolf spikers have stats on MaxPreps as well.

So, here you go, with two caveats.

One, it’s varsity only (that’s all I have), and two, if you disagree with your totals, talk to your coaches.

John Fisken is going pink.

And, I might be too. That’s still being negotiated.

The dye job for the travelin’ photo man, who you often see working the sidelines at Coupeville sporting events, will come before the start of this Thursday’s CHS volleyball matches.

The opponent that night is Chimacum, and the result will have a huge impact on the 1A Olympic League playoff race.

But there will be a bigger foe that night, and that is where the pink comes in.

The Wolves will be hosting their annual Dig for the Cure breast cancer awareness night.

Fisken (and probably me) will be getting pinked-up around 3:30 PM, with the Wolf JV taking the court at 3:45. Varsity action is set for around 5 PM.

The photo man is letting his luscious silver locks go pink in honor of his sister Mary, who is traveling to town for the match.

A three-time cancer survivor who has been fighting the good fight for the past decade, she doesn’t know what her brother has planned out with the Wolf players.

I’ve been told she doesn’t read this blog (and why not?!?!?), so, we’re dancing a tricky dance here.

We want to get as many people as possible there for the event, but we don’t want to spoil John’s side surprise for his sister.

So, remember that when you talk about this on social media, please.

The Wolves will be wearing pink jerseys, honoring cancer survivors with roses and raising money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation with a donation bucket at the game.

Sandi Farris, a cancer survivor and honorary coach for the night, will give the Coupeville girls a pregame speech to remind them that, win or lose, the match is big, but the fight against cancer means much more.

Randy King with the upset!

The longtime Coupeville High School/Middle School coach picked up a new sport at the last second this year, taking over the CMS 8th grade volleyball squad a match into the season when coach Sadi Foltz abruptly left to take a new job.

Jump forward to Monday night, and, after a long road trip to the town former CHS football coach Ron Bagby (well … and “Twilight“) built, King and his spikers emerged with a stunning upset.

The Wolves knocked off undefeated Forks 29-27, 25-20 for the win of the season.

The score is all the info we have at the moment (and nothing on the 7th grade squad), so let’s toss out a bunch of photos to fill the rest of your time.

Ashley Menges does not know the meaning of mercy.

Neither do her teammates on the Coupeville High School JV volleyball squad, apparently.

Riding a scorching performance from their freshman phenom, who was everywhere and nowhere at once, the Wolves trounced host Chimacum Thursday 25-16, 25-17, 25-17.

“Sweep, sweep, sweep!,” said an elated CHS coach Heidi Wyman. “Chimacum played us really tough tonight, but these young Wolves stayed focused, played together and were dominating at the net!”

“It’s awesome to see how far they have come,” she added. “Even more amazing is where they will be two years from now; very proud of all of them!”

The win, the fifth in their last seven matches, lifted the young Wolves to 5-4 overall, 2-0 in Olympic League play.

The five wins ties the JV spikers with Coupeville’s varsity boys’ tennis squad for the most wins by any Wolf team this fall.

While the netters have likely wrapped up regular season play, unless two postponed matches get rescheduled before postseason play (doubtful), Wyman’s squad has between 2-4 matches left this season.

Coupeville has one more match against both Klahowya and Chimacum and two against Port Townsend.

The RedHawks didn’t have a JV the first time around, so it’s likely the younger Wolves will only get to take the court in half the remaining regular season matches.

They continue to take full advantage of whatever floor time they see, however.

Facing off with Chimacum, who they also beat in a “non-conference” match earlier this season, they dominated, collecting 24 kills (“they were vicious at the net!”) and 19 service aces while averaging 87% from the line.

Menges collected player of the night honors with a stellar performance.

She netted 22 assists, served 93% from the stripe (with four aces) and had “four awesome tips for kills.”

Kenzi LaRue was perfect on serve, while Sarah Wright dropped in six aces.

Allison Wenzel, Kameryn St Onge and LaRue shared the hitting duties, as each player tallied five kills.
