Abraham Leyva picked right back up where he left off last spring.

The Coupeville High School senior booter knocked in a goal Tuesday night at Granite Falls, the 26th of his prep career, but it wasn’t quite enough to save the Wolves.

Riding scores from Charlie Richards and Wyatt Long, the 2A Tigers edged their former Cascade Conference foes 2-1 in the season opener for both squads.

It was the first time Granite had beaten Coupeville on the soccer pitch since April 5, 2013.

The Wolves went 2-0-1 against the Tigers in their final league meetings before departing for the newly-crafted 1A Olympic League.

The two schools didn’t play last year.

Coupeville returns to action Saturday with a trip down the Island to face arch-rival South Whidbey, which lost 2-0 to Bush in its opener.

JV action starts at 11 AM, with the varsity scheduled for 1 PM.
