Big-kicking sophomore Uriel Liquidano is one of the key players coach Kyle Nelson hopes to return to the pitch next season.

Colin Belliveau is one nine seniors who will depart the Wolf program.

Admit it. There wasn’t much suspense.

If Abraham Leyva hadn’t been awarded Player of the Year Thursday when the Coupeville High School boys’ soccer squad handed out awards and letters, the jaws would have hit the floor.

Leyva capped his junior season on the pitch with a team-high 14 goals, more than double the output of any of his teammates.

He has led the Wolves in scoring both years he has played for CHS.

But, even if you’re 99.2% sure of where one award is going, the rest are usually up for grabs, producing surprises as they’re handed out.

Such was the case Thursday, as seven other Wolves netted honors.

Ethan Spark took home Player of the Year for the JV squad, while Aaron Wright (varsity) and Jeremiah Pace (JV) collected Most Inspirational.

Most Improved Player was split between Connor McCormick and Sebastian Davis at the varsity level, while Isaac Vargas was tabbed for the same award at the JV level.

Freshman William Nelson rounded out the honorees, being named Rookie of the Year.

The Wolves finished 3-11 overall, 2-4 in Olympic League play.

Eight of the 10 players who scored (accounting for 29 of 35 goals) were underclassmen and could return in 2016.

That would be bolstered further by a healthy Zane Bundy, who missed most of his junior season after being the team’s #2 scorer as a sophomore.
