I’m not going to say it was a surprise.

With rain coming down so thick over Coupeville at one point Wednesday it was like being trapped in a waterfall going from the public library to your car, the lone sporting event scheduled for today was postponed.

Of course, later in the day, all the rain left and it was blue skies and sun.

Then, later, ferocious winds.

“I think the weather gods in charge of Whidbey are on some crazy mixture of crack cocaine and LSD today,” joked Coupeville High School girls’ tennis coach Ken Stange on Facebook.

In the end, what it meant was the all-Island showdown between unbeaten girls’ tennis teams, pitting the scrappy underdogs (3-0 Coupeville) vs. the larger-than-life reigning champs (South Whidbey, led by the one-two punch of Hayley and Carlie Newman) will have to wait for another day.
