The Coupeville High School senior was selected as team MVP, won the “Pack Pride” Award and shared the Captains Award with Madeline Strasburg when the Wolf spikers kicked off the fall awards season Thursday night.

Strasburg was also a two-time winner, being honored as Best Teammate, while freshman Lauren Rose was tabbed as Most Improved.

Senior Hailey Hammer (Offensive Player of the Year) and sophomore Valen Trujillo (Defensive Player of the Year) rounded out the varsity award winners.

Hammer and Trujillo were also honored by league coaches, being picked as First-Team All-Olympic League performers.

Big-hitting freshman Katrina McGranahan was picked as the JV squad’s MVP, with Claire Mietus (Most Inspirational), Sofia Hassapis (Most Improved) and Lauren Grove (Coaches Award) also being honored.

Letter winners were McKenzie Bailey, Kyla Briscoe, Tiffany Briscoe, Miranda Engle, Hammer, Kiel, Ally Roberts, Rose, Strasburg, Trujillo and Monica Vidoni.

Receiving letters of participation were Payton Aparicio, Maggie Crimmins, Grove, Hassapis, Jae LeVine, Hope Lodell, McGranahan, Mietus, Abby Parker, Brittany Powers, Kayla Rose, Kameryn St Onge, Mackenzi Valko and Allison Wenzel.

The awards banquet wrapped up the first season for varsity coach Breanne Smedley and the last one (at least for now) for departing JV coach Amy King.

Awards for her recent volleyball season.

Awards for her recent volleyball season.

It’s a whole new world for Emily Coulter.

Fresh off a sophomore softball season in the spring, where she played a key role in Coupeville High School advancing to the state tourney for the first time in 12 years, things took a huge detour.

A military transfer uprooted her parents (Sheila and Heath Coulter) and took the family to Italy, where she now attends the Naples American High School in Campania.

The irrepressible Coulter, a three-sport athlete at CHS (volleyball, basketball, softball) who entertained her teammates on and off the court, has continued to play at her new school, netting several volleyball awards recently.

The experience has been a wild one, but she has enjoyed it immensely.

Her thoughts:

“Everything has been great and then some. From the views to the real spaghetti, it’s been just fantastic.

Listen to this, instead of seeing Mt. Baker from my porch I see a volcano… A FREAKIN’ VOLCANO, DAVID!! Haha.

I wasn’t expecting to like it here so quickly, and with basketball starting over here I’m excited to show what the Kings have passed on to me.

However, even though I’m all the way in NHS Wildcat territory over here, I’m still a CHS Wolf at heart!

Photos. Thousands and thousands of photos.

Fall sports may have wrapped, but I still have tons of unused pics I can transmit out to the waiting public.

This time around, the focus is on Wolf volleyball, from high-flying action to pre-game shenanigans.

Let the spikes fly one more time.

Fall sports are a wrap, but there are a bunch of photos still lingering out there, waiting to be deployed.

This collection of John Fisken pics capture Wolf athletes doubling as fans, showing up to support their classmates, who then later return the favor.

It’s the circle of life, Wolf Nation style.

If you’re a Wolf girl hoping to play for popular husband/wife coaches David and Amy King, better not wait until softball season.

Cause they won’t be there.

The Kings are stepping down as co-coaches for the Coupeville High School softball squad — Amy is also relinquishing her duties as JV volleyball coach — and the duo will revert to juggling their busy day-time jobs with coaching in only one season.

They are remaining in charge of the CHS girls’ basketball program, with David coaching the varsity and Amy leading the JV and joining her husband on the bench.

Under the guidance of the Kings, the Wolf softball team made a remarkable run last season, qualifying for the state tournament for the first time in 12 seasons.
