All levels are still accepting players, but there is a particular need for girls and boys U8 booters, as well as girls U12 and coed U15.

One final time, with style.

Five members of the Island Vipers travel softball squad, including four who hail from Coupeville, participated this past weekend in the Washington-Oregon All-State Games, hosted by USSSA.

The event, held in Kent, featured a skills competition, on‑field activities, and the chance for each player to see action in two games.

Players were nominated for the season-closing affair, and wore their team uniforms, creating a tapestry of different outfits befitting an all-star rumble.

Repping the Vipers were CHS students Cami Van Dyke, Adeline Maynes, Capri Anter, and Sydney Van Dyke, as well as South Whidbey slugger Sophie Zeigler, who whacked a home run during the event.

It’s the final countdown.

Cue up some Europe on the soundtrack and batten down the hatches, as Race the Reserve is just six days away.

The biggest fundraiser for Coupeville High School’s seniors, this year’s event goes down Saturday, August 8, and features a 5K, 10K, and half marathon.

You can still register up to the day of the race or get all your paperwork done now and be prepared in advance.

Once launched, Race the Reserve will raise money for the Class of 2027, with proceeds “supporting safe and sober graduation activities.”

Stuurmans shares in academic honors

Lyla Stuurmans

Lyla Stuurmans was part of a landmark team.

The Coupeville High School grad is heading into her sophomore season of playing volleyball at Skagit Valley College, but first the former Wolf and her fellow Cardinal spikers can bask in the afterglow of last year.

For the first time in program history, SVC volleyball earned the American Volleyball Coaches Association Team Academic Award, which is given to squads who maintain a year-long 3.3 GPA or higher.

Stuurmans and crew finished the 2025-2026 academic year with a team GPA of 3.52, soaring well above the requirements.

While they were showcasing their big brains, the Cardinals also did well on the court, finishing 17-15.

Stuurmans played in 30 of 32 matches, racking up 175 kills, 73 digs, eight solo blocks, 41 block assists, and 21 service aces.

SVC kicks off its new season August 21, with matches against Whatcom College, which features former CHS star Mia Farris, set for Oct. 7 and 30.

Big hits, big brains.

Coffman captures YouTube spotlight

Dominic Coffman

The Dominator is back in the internet spotlight.

Coupeville grad Dominic Coffman, a three-sport star in his days as a Wolf, has been playing football in Spain for several seasons, helping the Las Rozas Black Demons tear up the gridiron.

Now you can catch an interview he recently had with Blast Sportz, which was posted to YouTube this week.

In it, Coffman discusses his high school days, as well as what he’s up to now, and I made it easy for you by including the video right here in this story.

Before heading to Spain, the Class of 2023 alumni made it to state in football, basketball, and track and field while repping the red and black for Coupeville.

Coffman was part of a 4 x 100 relay unit which finished second at the 2B state track championships, and he was tabbed as the Northwest 2B/1B League football MVP as a senior, rambling for 1,265 yards as a running back while also laying people out on defense.
