They’re showing great promise.

Through three matches, Coupeville Middle School volleyball players continue to display ever-growing skill and a never-say-die attitude.

While the Wolves weren’t able to topple powerhouse King’s Monday, the Wolves did give their hosts a furious fight, winning a set in each rumble.

“The girls did great yesterday,” said CMS coach Shaloma Allen. “They are growing as a team, and we all had a great time.”

How Coupeville fared:

Varsity:

King’s held on for a 25-19, 17-25, 15-11 win, ultimately nipping the Wolves by just two points total.

“Varsity battled hard against a tough opponent,” Allen said.

“The team’s progress is undeniable. Each match, they’re gelling more as a unit, and their skills are sharpening with every play.”

JV:

Another close one, with King’s only finishing three points better in a 26-24, 20-25, 15-9 nailbiter.

“The junior varsity team also brought their A-game!” Allen said. “Their consistent improvement is something special.

“These players are learning fast and playing with so much heart!”

C-Team:

Coupeville came out blazing, winning the first set 26-24, before King’s rebounded to snag the next two frames 25-14 and 15-3 for the victory.

“The C-Team started strong, showcasing their potential and teamwork,” Allen said. “Sets two and three were tougher, but their spirit never wavered.

“This group is laying a solid foundation, and I’m excited to see their growth as the season continues.”

After back-to-back road trips, Coupeville plays its next three at home, starting with a match against Granite Falls this Thursday, Oct. 9 at 3:15 PM.

Allen is looking forward to Wolf fans getting a chance to see the spikers in action up close and personal.

“All three teams showed resilience, teamwork, and a positive attitude that makes coaching them such a joy,” she said.

“We’re building momentum and can’t wait to keep pushing forward in our next game!”

Mark your calendars.

The high school volleyball squads from Coupeville and La Conner will join together Thursday, Oct. 16 to help raise awareness (and money) for the fight against cancer.

Wolf players and coaches are asking fans to wear pink that night and those in the mood can make a financial donation through the QR code shown in the photo above.

There’s also a fairly substantial rumor candy will be tossed into the stands by CHS spikers. So, a win-win for anyone with a hankerin’ for a bit of early Halloween action.

CHS spikers earn split

Everyone aims extra hard for the big dogs.

With the Coupeville High School varsity volleyball squad having gone undefeated in league play last year, followed by a 4th place finish at the state tourney, the Wolves are being hunted.

And, with a young, rebuilding team in place, other teams are getting a bit of revenge from time to time.

Thursday night that payback belonged to visiting Orcas Island, which came from behind to topple Coupeville 17-25, 25-19, 27-25, 25-19.

The loss drops CHS to 1-4 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 3-5-1 overall.

The Wolves have a prime opportunity to bounce back, however, hosting Friday Harbor, a team they have already beaten once this season, this Tuesday, Oct. 7.

After that, Coupeville closes the regular season with four of its final five matches on the road.

Thursday stats:

Haylee Armstrong — 7 kills, 9 digs, 1 assist, 1 ace
Teagan Calkins — 21 kills, 13 digs, 1 assist, 3 aces
Ari Cunningham — 4 kills, 7 digs, 3 aces
Lexis Drake — 3 digs, 1 ace
Adeline Maynes — 5 digs
Dakota Strong — 2 kills, 1 dig
Tenley Stuurmans — 1 kill, 10 digs, 31 assists, 3 aces

JV pulls out a thriller:

The winningest CHS team in any sport this fall is the second unit of spikers, which now carries a 3-1 mark in league play, and a 5-2 record overall.

The young Wolves latest victim was Orcas, which fell 25-14, 21-25, 15-12 in a battle which went to the limit.

A major key for Coupeville was its service game, which accounted for 16 aces, with Emma Leavitt (7) and Sydney Van Dyke (6) leading the way.

Thursday stats:

Kee’Arya Brown — 1 dig
Hailey Grijalva — 3 assists
Emma Leavitt — 5 kills, 1 assist, 7 aces
Adeline Maynes — 2 kills, 3 digs, 5 assists
Isa Mc Fetridge — 2 kills, 5 digs, 1 ace
Kennedy O’Neill — 2 kills, 1 dig
Chelsi Stevens — 1 kill, 2 aces
Sydney Van Dyke — 3 kills, 2 assists, 6 aces

Wily Wolves tangle with Turks

Posted in Middle School, Volleyball, tagged CMS Wolves, Lakewood, Rhylee Inman, road trip, volleyball on October 3, 2025| Leave a Comment »

“Get back here!” (Julie Wheat photo)

“They all played their hearts out.”

While the Coupeville Middle School volleyball teams couldn’t quite come up with any wins Thursday in Sultan, the young Wolves impressed their coaches.

After having Tuesday’s trip to Lakewood bumped to Oct. 21 at the last second, CMS spiker guru Shaloma Allen was just thrilled to see her girls hit the floor — “The kids had a lot of energy” — and the addition of a new helper.

Katie Rohrbach joined Allen on the bench, providing another veteran voice.

“Yesterday was her first day. She was phenomenal with the girls and I’m looking forward to seeing her add her skills to the team.”

Playing in the wilds of Sultan, the Wolves pushed the Turks, but all three squads fell in the end.

The Coupeville varsity lost 25-19, 25-14, 14-16, while the JV was nipped 25-17, 25-10, 15-12. The C-Team came up on the short end of a 25-20, 21-25, 15-4 tally.

All three Wolf teams sit at 0-2 on the young season, with their next action involving a road trip to King’s Oct. 6.
