Complete and utter domination.
Winning all seven matches, two by default, and even beating the onset of bad weather to keep their no-rainout streak alive for the season, the Coupeville High School boys’ tennis squad enjoyed a romp Friday afternoon.
By the time the Wolves were done bouncing visiting Chimacum all over the court, they had a 7-0 win, their third straight team match win.
Now 3-4 on the season, CHS will finish 2014 on the road, with matches at Klahowya, Sequim and Chimacum, before participating in its first 1A Olympic League postseason tourney.
With Chimacum only able to shepherd eight players on to the ferry and across to Whidbey, the Cowboys had to forfeit two of the four doubles contests.
The #3 and #4 Coupeville doubles duos played one-set matches against Chimacum players pulling double duty in matches that didn’t count into the team score.
Not that it mattered, since it was all Wolves, all day, regardless of the match.
The top two doubles spots both featured strong moments for Coupeville.
Loren Nelson, returning after illness cost him several matches, teamed with Connor McCormick for a win at first singles, while the #2 Wolf duo of Joseph Wedekind and John McClarin snagged their first win of the season.
