Through good times, through bad times, the streak lives on.

Coupeville High School senior Abraham Leyva continued his astonishing run on the soccer pitch Thursday, burying a goal in the back of the net for the ninth consecutive game.

His 14th goal this year — tying his own school single-season scoring record — it wasn’t quite enough, however, as the Wolves fell 2-1 to visiting Port Townsend in a match which came down to the final moments.

“It was a hard-fought game where either team could have come out on top,” said CHS coach Kyle Nelson.

The loss, coming in Coupeville’s league opener, dropped the Wolves to 3-5-1 overall.

They sit in a tie with Chimacum (0-1, 1-5), their next opponent, a game off of Klahowya (1-0, 7-1-1) and Port Townsend (1-0, 4-3-1) with five left to play.

The Wolves will have a week to plan for that match-up with the Cowboys, which arrives Thursday, Apr. 21.

Leyva, who now has 39 goals in his three-year CHS career (11 as a sophomore, 14 as a junior), has tallied a score in every Wolf contest this season, with four-goal and three-goal nights, both against Forks.
