Back on track.
With its next four matches league affairs, the Coupeville High School boys’ tennis squad primed the well Monday by smacking a non-conference rival silly.
The Wolves rolled to a 4-1 drubbing of 2A North Mason during a rare appearance at home.
The victory lifted Coupeville, which has played five of eight matches against bigger schools, to 2-6.
More importantly, the Wolves are 1-0 in 1A Olympic League play as they attempt to defend their title.
The next step on that path comes Wednesday, when CHS hops the ferry and travels to Chimacum (0-1 in league).
Five of the seven matches remaining on the schedule are against either Chimacum or Klahowya (1-1) and will determine who wears the crown in 2016.
Monday marked an unusual occurrence, as the Wolves passed over the halfway mark of the fall tennis season without having a single match affected by weather.
