Not even Serena Williams could pull this one out for Chimacum.
Now, of course, if we’re being totally honest, the Cowboy netter bearing that name is NOT the 36-time Grand Slam tennis champ.
But that’s reality and we’re dealing in hyperbole.
So, down goes Serena, just another victim chewed up by the threshing machine that is Coupeville High School girls’ tennis!
Pulling out a 4-3 win over visiting Chimacum on Senior Night, the Wolves capped their second-straight undefeated run through the 1A Olympic League.
Now 10-3 overall, 5-0 in league play (Klahowya declined to reschedule a postponed match from late April), Coupeville heads into the postseason riding high.
The Wolves will face-off with league mates Chimacum, Klahowya and Port Townsend (or, at least, the single player the RedHawks boast) at the league tourney May 10.
Wednesday’s match was the final home appearance for Wolf seniors McKenzie Bailey, Jazmine Franklin, Julianne Sem and Sydney Autio, as well as foreign exchange student Julia Borges.
