The 1A Olympic League took a hit Saturday.
Two schools hailing from the conference took the pitch for district playoff games and both saw their seasons ended.
Port Townsend fell 2-1 to visiting Cascade Christian, while Coupeville went on the road, only to be bounced 5-2 at Charles Wright Academy.
The dual defeats leaves league champ Klahowya, which will play CWA next, as the lone representative left from the first-year league.
It was the second time the Wolves fell to the Tacoma-based school in a week. They had lost 3-1 at home to the private school rivals on May 2.
This time around CHS got goals from Abraham Leyva (off of an assist from Tanner Kircher) and Sebastian Davis.
With Joel Walstad playing up front, Connor McCormick got the start in net and held his own, making several strong saves.
The loss dropped Coupeville’s final record to 3-11 and brought an end to the run of nine seniors.
The cupboard is not bare, however, as the Wolves can return eight of the ten players who scored this season, including its leading goal collectors in Leyva and Davis.
Junior Zane Bundy, who missed most of the season after an injury, was one of the team’s top scoring threats during his first two seasons, and is also expected back.
