Coupeville Sports

Well, at least it was a nice day.

Sandwiched in between the previously persistent fog and the rain that has now hit Whidbey, Saturday was a beautiful slice of Fall. So, there was that.

Pure soccer fans got a treat, as well. Pure Coupeville fans, not as much, maybe.

If you wanted to see one of the top teams in the land play with precision and poise and pound on another team, there was that. Unfortunately, it was Coupeville that was being pounded on, as visiting King’s drilled them 7-0 in a game that started, and was effectively over, before noon.

The Knights are 12-3 and a viable threat for a 1A state title and they showed why, quietly dispatching the still-improving Wolves in a hail of big shots.

Beth Stella narrowly missed the hat trick, but settled for two goals and two assists to pace King’s.

The Wolves, who fell to 2-13 (double their win total from 2012), close their season with Senior Night 6:30 Monday against Granite Falls, a team they pushed hard in a 2-0 loss earlier in the week. Joye Jackson and Tori Wellman will be honored.
