The season is not over for the Coupeville High School boys’ soccer squad, but they have already amassed their most successful goal-scoring campaign in recent memory.
And it’s not even close.
With at least two more games on the schedule — the regular season finale at Klahowya Tuesday and a playoff game Thursday in Oak Harbor — the Wolves have tallied 46 goals this season.
They have also scored in every one of their 13 games this season, unheard of consistency for a program which had been shutout at least five times a season for five years running.
At the center of the attack has been senior Abraham Leyva, who broke his own school single-season scoring record.
After tallying 25 goals combined over his first two seasons at CHS (11 as a sophomore and 14 as a junior) Leyva has 20 this year, having scored in all but one game.
Here’s a look at how this year’s Wolves compare to the last five teams to suit up:
2016 — 46 goals in 13 games, zero shutouts (5-7-1 record)
2015 — 35 goals in 14 games, six shutouts (3-11-0)
2014 — 22 goals in 17 games, five shutouts (5-10-2)
2013 — 15 goals in 17 games, nine shutouts (3-14-0)
2012 — 27 goals in 18 games, six shutouts (10-8-0)
2011 — 30 goals in 17 games, seven shutouts (6-11-0)
Both the 2011 and 2012 teams won playoff games, the last times the CHS boys’ soccer squad triumphed in the postseason.
The ’11 team beat Meridian 3-0, then was nipped 2-1 by Seattle Christian, while the ’12 booters bopped Meridian 1-0 and were eliminated 1-0 by Cedar Park Christian (Bothell).
And a look at this year’s scoring chart:
Abraham Leyva — 20
Ethan Spark — 8
Zane Bundy — 5
William Nelson — 5
Zack Nall — 3
Andre Avila — 2
Sebastian Davis — 2
Cody Menges — 1
