Fly like an Eagle, howl like a Wolf!!

Freshman phenom (and the team’s starting setter) Lauren Rose launches another potential ace.

Senior Matt Shank is a two-way terror for the first-place Wolf gridiron squad.

Klahowya is setting the pace.

As the first month of the new 1A Olympic League wraps, the biggest of the four schools has the best overall record, with its girls’ soccer, volleyball, football and boys’ tennis teams being a combined 18-8.

Coupeville is 7-11, Port Townsend 5-14 and Chimacum 2-16 as we turn the calendar into October.

Three things to note.

One, I’m only counting the four sports Coupeville plays.

All three of the other schools run cross country (so why don’t the Wolves bring their program back?!?!) and Klahowya and Port Townsend have girls’ swim teams.

But, this is Coupeville Sports, not The Redhawk Review, so, if the Wolves don’t play it, we’re ignoring it.

Two, Klahowya has been much busier, with almost ten more matches/games than any of the other schools.

And three, none of the four schools have played each other yet in volleyball or soccer, with much of the early success or failure for each school coming in non-conference events.

But that actually makes the success of the best program out there, the Klahowya girls’ soccer squad, even more impressive.

The Eagles, who went to state as a 2A program the past five seasons, are 7-1 and have outscored their opponents 34-8 so far.

With McKenzie Cook (https://coupevillesports.com/2014/09/08/know-your-foe-klahowyas-mckenzie-cook/)and Izzy Severns (https://coupevillesports.com/2014/09/11/know-your-foe-klahowyas-izzy-severns/) leading the way, Klahowya has been thumping on 2A schools as a warmup for league play.
