The South Whidbey tennis dynasty rolls along.
Even with the loss of its best players — 1A state meet runner-up Hayley Newman graduated and younger sister Carlie transferred to Cascade — the Falcons are still loaded.
Showcasing its depth and dominance, South Whidbey bageled visiting Coupeville 5-0 Monday, though the Wolves did bounce back to win two of three JV matches.
“It was a difficult day for the Wolf netters,” CHS coach Ken Stange said. “There wasn’t even that much competition out there. Most of the matches were blowouts.”
He split his Player of the Match honors between doubles players Samantha Martin and Sydney Aparicio, the only varsity Wolves to win more than two games in any one set.
“Sam and Syd are playing at #1 doubles, which is a difficult spot,” Stange said. “After getting pasted in the first set, they fought hard in the second. They didn’t come out on top, but they didn’t give up.
“It’s quite easy to throw in the towel after getting bageled, but my #1 duo scratched and clawed,” he added. “That’s one of the reasons I respect them.”
Coupeville, now 2-2 on the season, hosts Lakewood 3:30 PM Wednesday.
