The Elite Eight gather for a rare group photo op.

The smiles overcame the wind.

Despite a blustery night Monday, eight Coupeville High School booters put on a brave face for the cameras as they bid adieu.

It was Senior Night, and while the Wolves fell 4-0 to state title contender Klahowya, the Elite Eight, who have played together most of their lives, went out on a high note.

They still have two regular season games to play (including a makeup game at home) and then, hopefully, a long playoff run ahead of them.

But, for one night, they faced the end of their high school soccer careers and they did it the way they do everything — with a smile.
