Coupeville Sports

It’s still the middle of the summer. What do you mean practice for fall sports has begun?!?!?

It’s true, though.

Sunglasses and flip flops are still the clothes of the day and yet the Coupeville High School football team started two-a-day practices Wednesday, August 15.

When Monday the 20th rolls around, the gridiron gang will be joined by Wolf athletes from three other sports — volleyball, girls soccer and boys tennis (and the CHS cheer squad) — and we sit just two weeks away from the first fall sports contest.

With two new head coaches (Tony Maggio for football and Dan d’ Almeida for soccer) joining two sage veterans (volleyball guru Toni Crebbin and tennis wizard Ken Stange), Coupeville kicks off the 2012-2013 school sports year with high hopes and a smattering of returning stars.

From Amanda d’Almedia tearing up the soccer pitch to Bessie Walstad and Hailey Hammer laying down killer spikes on the volleyball court, the outlook for CHS is a bright one.

In the coming days, we’ll give you team previews, looks at rising stars and a whole lot more.

For now, to whet your whistle, we offer the fall schedules, which are 98.4% set in stone.

As anyone who has tried to keep up with the ins and outs of pulling together a tennis schedule knows, expect a few changes along the way…
