Swing away for postseason glory

The Wolves need two wins in one night to advance to state.

Three teams enter, one exits with a ticket to state.

This year’s version of the district volleyball playoffs is a fairly streamlined affair, with just two matches being played.

Coupeville and Auburn Adventist Academy face off at 5 PM Wednesday, Nov. 3 at La Conner High School in a loser-out match to kick things off.

The winner returns to the floor at 7:30 to play the tourney hosts, who happen to be the two-time defending 2B state champs.

Barring a major upset, the Braves then head off to Yakima to defend their crown.

Coupeville fans already know La Conner well, but Auburn Adventist is a different thing.

The Falcons are the lone 2B school playing in the 1B Sea-Tac League, and finished third out of 10 schools this season.

Auburn handed the league’s top team, Crosspoint Academy, its only conference loss, yet was swept in straight sets by Coupeville’s Northwest 2B/1B League mate Darrington in a non-conference tilt.

With Coupeville having squashed the Loggers both times they played this season, that seems to be a positive for the Wolves.

But, it’s the playoffs, so anything goes.

William Davidson and Co. are hoping for one more game.

Things are winding down.

As we head into November, fall sports are all but done for Coupeville High School.

Boys and girls soccer wrapped their seasons during the week which just ended, while volleyball, cross country and (maybe) football have a smidge left to play.

The Wolf spikers are off to the district tourney Nov. 3, where they’ll open against Auburn Adventist Academy.

Win, and Coupeville faces off with two-time defending 2B state champs La Conner later that night for a trip to the big dance.

Cross country sends three runners — Claire Mayne, Mitchell Hall, and Helen Strelow — to state Nov. 6, while CHS football seeks a foe for a crossover game between schools which missed the playoffs.

After that, it’s off to the gym for basketball season.

Season of growth, season of triumph

Season one is in the books.

The Medaille College volleyball team’s win/loss record wasn’t quite what everyone might have hoped, but Coupeville grad Chelsea Prescott knocked it out of the park.

The former Wolf capped her freshman season at the Buffalo, New York school Saturday, filling up the stat sheet in a heartbreaker of a five-set loss.

Medaille rallied from two sets down, then hit a roadblock in the fifth set, falling 25-17, 25-23, 22-25, 23-25, 15-9 on the road against the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg.

The loss drops the Mavericks to 1-7 in Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference play, 4-17 overall.

Saturday’s match was a battle for 7th place in the nine-team conference.

The top six teams, led by league champ Penn State-Behrend, are now off to the playoffs.

Prescott racked up 10 kills, two aces, a solo block, eight digs, and 13 points of offense in the season finale.

She started all 21 of her team’s matches, and played in all 70 sets, finishing her frosh campaign with 116 kills, 165 digs, 24 aces, 12 assists, three solo blocks, 11 block assists, and 148.5 points.

Prescott finished #2 among all Mavericks players for kills, digs, and points, #3 for block assists, and #4 for aces.

“It was a fun night!”

Next girl up.

With three starters sidelined Thursday, the Coupeville High School varsity volleyball team never missed a beat.

Instead, the Wolves got strong work from those who were able to be in uniform, and plowed right through host Mount Vernon Christian in straight sets.

The 25-12, 25-12, 25-19 win lifts Coupeville to 10-2 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 10-5 overall.

It marks the fifth time in six seasons CHS spiker coach Cory Whitmore has led his program to double-digit wins.

And, that one miss doesn’t really count, as Covid restricted the Wolves to just nine matches total last season.

Coupeville is now off to the postseason, with a trip to La Conner set for Wednesday, Nov. 3.

The Wolves open the District 1/2 tourney against Auburn Adventist Academy at 5 PM in a loser-out match.

Win, and Coupeville returns to the floor at 7:30 that night to play two-time defending 2B state champs La Conner for this year’s one golden ticket to the big dance.

Thursday night the Wolves kept their focus on the task at hand, closing the regular season with a bang.

“It was a fun night,” Whitmore said. “The girls brought a lot of energy and I was very happy with how they stepped up around some shuffling of positions and teams.

“We served very well with our locations being very precise.”

Freshman Katie Marti slid into the setter position, and “did a great job finding the hitters and looked very comfortable at the faster pace.”

That calmness and strong play carried over to other players, as well.

“Our back row players were so consistent tonight, making Katie’s job easier and then our middles had a phenomenal night with their efficiency,” Whitmore said.

“Jill (Prince) and Olivia (Schaffeld) played very well, finding open court.

“They worked really well together and it was fun to watch them leave league play on such a positive form of execution.”

 

Thursday stats:

Alita Blouin — 13 digs, 5 aces
Taygin Jump — 5 digs, 3 aces
Ryanne Knoblich — 3 kills, 3 digs, 1 ace
Katie Marti — 1 kill, 2 digs, 22 assists, 4 aces
Madison McMillan — 4 kills, 4 digs, 4 aces
Jill Prince — 11 kills
Olivia Schaffeld — 7 kills, 1 ace
Lucy Tenore — 4 kills

Freshman Madison McMillan set varsity career highs in kills, digs, and aces.
