Another weekend, another title for Izzy LeVine.

The former Coupeville standout, currently a junior at Casteel High School in Arizona, is tearing up the wrestling mat again this year.

This time around, competing at the Sydelia Orr Knight Invite in Chandler, LeVine went a flawless 5-0 to claim a title in the 132-pound classification.

To nab the hardware, she had to survive an overtime win in the semifinals, before claiming the win in the finals after a three-round battle.

Casteel, which had just eight female grapplers on site, still placed third out of 30 teams, with LeVine and two teammates winning individual titles.

Izzy is the younger sister of former Wolf athletes Micky and Jae LeVine, who are both Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame inductees, as is dad Sean for his work as a soccer coach.

Izzy LeVine and manager/chauffeur/hype man Sean LeVine bask in the afterglow of another wrestling title.

In the end, they all bow down to her.

Continuing to run wild through the world of wrestling, former Coupeville standout Izzy LeVine captured another mat title this past weekend.

The lethal lil’ sis of Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Famers Micky and Jae LeVine romped to a second-straight crown at the She Devil Classic in Page, Arizona, while also earning the tourney’s Outstanding Female Wrestler award.

Izzy, who grew up cheering for her siblings in Cow Town, is now a junior at Casteel High School.

She and her compatriots claimed team titles in both the girls’ and boys’ competition at the She Devil Classic, with the girls’ team collecting four individual titles.

She’s always on the prowl, looking for more victories.

Izzy LeVine, who grew up in Cow Town alongside older sisters (and Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Famers) Micky and Jae, continues to dominate in the high stakes wrestling world.

Now a junior at Casteel High School in Arizona, Izzy claimed another title this past weekend, going a pristine 5-0 at the 60th annual Doc Wright Invitational in Winslow.

The youngest of Sean and Joline’s three superstar daughters collected two pins and two wins by technical fall en route to the final.

Once there, Izzy closed things out with a solid 9-4 victory to claim the crown.

Casteel, which placed three grapplers on the podium, finished 8th out of 35 teams, with wrestlers from four states participating in the tourney.

A former Wolf has found her groove as a Wildcat.

Riley White, an eternal ball of energy, transferred from Coupeville High School to my alma mater – Oak Harbor – for the last trimester last year.

This time around, now that her body has accepted purple and gold being used on uniforms, she’s picked up several sports not offered at her former school.

White, previously a standout ballet dancer, swam in the fall — making it to state as an alternate for a relay team — and is now wrestling as winter kicks off.

She also has earned a slot on the Wildcat ROTC marksmanship team.

New season, same old domination on the wrestling mat.

Former Coupeville supernova Izzy LeVine whipped up on everyone in sight Saturday at the Arizona Women’s Cup, winning all five of her matches en route to a title.

Competing at Poston Butte High School in San Tan Valley, the Casteel junior helped spark her squad to a 3rd place finish in the team standings.

The Colts finished ahead of 29 other teams despite having just six grapplers on site, thanks to LeVine and three of her teammates medaling.

While much of her wrestling success has come after a family move to Arizona, the youngest of Sean and Joline’s three daughters already showed signs of growing into a superstar while the family lived on Whidbey.

Her dad and older sisters Micky and Jae are all Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame inductees.

The Arizona Women’s Cup officially kicked off the high school season, though Izzy has been hard at work almost year-round, as she terrorizes foes on the mat both in her Casteel uniform and as a free-lancer.
