Coupeville Sports

Learn to love the road.

Looking ahead at fall sports schedules for Coupeville High School (hey, the first day of practice is Aug. 19, just a month away), that’s the theme.

Unless things change (always possible), three of the four Wolf teams (football, volleyball, girls’ soccer) will play more games on the road than at home.

The only team that currently has more home matches than road trips is the CHS boys’ tennis squad, and that’s deceptive, because that’s also the only team that obviously doesn’t have a finished schedule.

Little quirks to look forward to:

Wolf volleyball will be the first team to play in front of fans sitting on the newly-installed bleachers in the CHS gym, when it hosts South Whidbey Sept. 8.

By the time football plays at home, we’ll be firmly into the cold season, as the Wolf gridiron squad plays its first FOUR games away from Coupeville.

Schedules as they stand on July 18 (* = league game, and there is no way the tennis schedule is complete, so there’s that):
