We are family.

Like the Pittsburgh Pirates back in the ’70s, when they won a World Series while rockin’ out to the sounds of Sister Sledge, the Coupeville High School volleyball program is preaching togetherness.

The pics above and below come from the Wolves recent Unity Camp, a mix of sets, spikes, and team bonding experiences.

Suddenly he’s the sage veteran

He’s #1 with a spike.

With softball guru Kevin McGranahan’s departure, volleyball wizard Cory Whitmore is now the winningest active coach at Coupeville High School.

Even with the 2020 season cut in half by the pandemic, the court ace boasts an 88-43 mark during his time at CHS, with trips to the state tourney in 2017 and 2023.

Boys’ basketball head man Brad Sherman, who now doubles as the school’s athletic director, is #2 with 70 wins and counting.

After that it drops down to baseball coach Steve Hilborn and girls’ basketball leader Megan Richter, at 28 and 26 respectively.

Boys’ soccer top dog Robert Wood (16) and football signal caller Bennett Richter (9) are the only other active CHS coaches with victories.

McGranahan won 111 games before exiting this summer.

This will be the ninth season at the helm of the Wolf spiker program for Whitmore, who has posted a winning mark in each campaign.

His tally:

2016: 11-6
2017: 13-5
2018: 11-5
2019: 14-5
2020: 6-3
2021: 11-6
2022: 10-6
2023: 12-7

Not counting tournaments, Coupeville is slated to play 14 regular season matches, then hopes to have a long postseason run.

That leaves open a very real possibility Whitmore could crack triple-digit wins this fall, putting a little distance between himself and Sherman before basketball gears back up in the winter.

To pay? Fine… To not pay? Divine!

Sometimes you pay, sometimes you don’t.

All middle school sports events in Coupeville remain free to watch as we head into a new school year, while it’s a split decision for high school games.

Regular season football, basketball, and volleyball contests require some moola to get in the door, while soccer, tennis, softball, baseball, track and field, and cross country are free.

Postseason contests are their own thing, and when we hit that part of the year, be sure to pop back over to the blog for info on what district, regional, or state officials will try and extract from you.

 

For regular season CHS sports which require payment, here’s the breakdown:

$7.00 — Adults and high school students without an ASB card

$5.00 — Visiting high school students with an ASB card

$5.00 — Senior citizens (62+)

$5.00 — Grade school (K-5)

Free — Children 5 and under and Coupeville Middle School/High School students with an ASB card

Laminate ’em, baby.

Coupeville Middle School has released schedules for fall sports, and nothing, I say nothing, will cause any of this to change.

OK, that might be a small lie…

One never truly knows for sure school sports schedules will fully play out as planned until they actually do.

But we’re feeling pretty good about these two, so you can at least write down things in pencil, if maybe not in pen.

Wolf cross country kicks things off with the first day of practice Monday, August 26, while CMS volleyball gets underway Sept. 9.

Amber Wyman returns to coach the harriers, with Cris Matochi and Kristina Hooks back on the sidelines to impart wisdom to the spikers.

The middle school skeds as they sit today:

 

CROSS COUNTRY:

Sat-Sept. 21 — @ Westling Invite (South Whidbey) — 10:00
Friday-Sept. 27 — @ Sultan — 3:30
Thur-Oct. 3 — HOME (Fort Casey) — 3:30
Sat-Oct. 12 — @ Mountain Loop (Granite Falls) — TBD
Wed-Oct. 16 — @ Cascade League Championships (South Whidbey) — 3:30

 

VOLLEYBALL:

Thur-Sept. 26 — @ South Whidbey — 3:30
Mon-Sept. 30 — Lakewood — 3:15
Wed-Oct. 2 — Sultan — 3:15
Mon-Oct. 7 — King’s — 3:15
Thur-Oct. 10 — @ Granite Falls — 3:15
Mon-Oct. 14 — @ Northshore Christian — 3:15
Wed-Oct. 16 — @ Sultan — 3:15
Mon-Oct. 21 — South Whidbey — 3:30
