   Rain-splattered but happy, Davis and teammates (l to r) Connor McCormick, Joey Lippo and William Nelson now advance to districts.

Nine went, four live on.

Led by senior Sebastian Davis, who won the singles crown, the Coupeville High School boys’ tennis squad battled through the 1A Olympic League tournament Saturday at Chimacum, dodging rain and sending a chunk of its team on to districts.

Davis and fellow senior Connor McCormick, who finished as the runner-up in singles, both advanced, as did the double duo of William Nelson and Joey Lippo, who claimed third.

The league tourney drew netters from Port Townsend, Chimacum, Klahowya and league champ Coupeville.

Also playing, but not advancing, were singles player Nick Etzell and the duos of Joseph Wedekind/John McClarin and Lilan Sekigawa/Jimmy Myers.

Coupeville was strongest on the singles side, where its three guys combined to go 6-2.

Davis held off McCormick 8-5 in the championship match to win the title.

The district tourney, the next stop on the path for these Wolves to follow in the steps of recent CHS state qualifiers like Aaron Curtin and Ben Etzell, will be Thursday in Tacoma.
