If the Coupeville High School boys’ soccer team stands strong through its non-conference schedule, it should be beautifully primed for league play its final six games of the season.
The Wolves are opening against a string of especially strong schools, such as Monday’s foe, 2A Sequim, which went 13-4 a season ago.
Coupeville, the smallest 1A school in the state, battled impressively on the road, falling 3-0 in its season opener.
“We lost to a good team,” said CHS coach Kyle Nelson. “We played better than we did at the jamboree, correcting some of our mistakes.
“I like our progress and I believe we will become a very good team this season.”
The Wolves will face another top foe Thursday, when they host Island rival South Whidbey, which went to the 1A quarterfinals last season.
JV kicks off at 4, varsity at 6.
After that comes a road game at Kingston, which has a goalie, Alex Worland, who was an Honorable Mention All-State player last season, and match-ups against strong foes such as Cascade Christian and Charles Wright Academy, among others.
Survive. Improve. Surprise.
The mantra of a Wolf soccer squad looking to return to its glory days of just a few years ago.
JV loses: In the very first game of the season, the Coupeville young guns fell 8-0 Monday.
