The bump in the road has gotten worse.
Missing players and unable to get its offense totally into gear, the Coupeville High School boys’ soccer squad slid to a 5-0 loss at South Whidbey Friday night.
It was only the second time this season the Wolves had been shut out.
The third straight defeat for the booters, it dropped them to 4-6 overall, 3-6 in Cascade Conference play.
And, while they split the season series with their Langley arch-rivals, they now face an uphill battle in the quest to claim a playoff berth.
Two of the three 1A schools in the 1A/2A league will advance to the postseason, and Coupeville will have to make up some ground over the final stretch of the season.
South Whidbey is 6-2-1 in conference, while King’s is 4-3-1.
After a non-conference tilt with Friday Harbor Monday, April 21, the Wolves have five league games left.
Three of those games are against teams below Coupeville in the standings (Lakewood, Sultan and Granite Falls), but CHS also plays King’s and Archbishop Thomas Murphy (8-0, 9-0-1).
