Coupeville Sports

   Wolves (l to r) Emma Smith, Allison Wenzel and Sarah Wright celebrate a big point.

It’s in their hands.

Sweep its matches this week and the Coupeville High School volleyball squad clinches its first league title since 2001.

The Wolves, who sit atop the 1A Olympic League at 4-0, host Klahowya Tuesday (4 PM varsity/5:15 JV and C-Team), then hop across the water to face Port Townsend Thursday.

Win both and they’ll be 6-0, which would put them three games up on both Chimacum and two-time defending league champ Klahowya with three matches to play.

Since they would then finish no worse than a tie with either rival, and would own the tiebreaker over both schools, the command would go out — order a new title board for the CHS Wall of Fame.

Coupeville’s two previous league titles in volleyball came in 1997 and ’01, when the Wolves played in the Northwest Conference.

While nothing is set in stone yet, CHS volleyball reaching for the crown is the highlight of this week’s look at the current league standings in the four fall sports the Wolves compete in.

Rain-outs stung the Wolf netters, as matches against Klahowya and Chimacum were washed away.

With Coupeville having already clinched the title, neither bout will be rescheduled, which costs CHS a chance to add to its overall collection of league wins.

Picking up a win in soccer, Klahowya moved up into a tie with Coupeville, with 13 varsity wins across the fall sports.

Port Townsend (5) and Chimacum (3) are well back.

Those numbers will change tonight, as two football games which were knocked out Friday by the closing of the Hood Canal Bridge (Klahowya at Port Townsend and Chimacum at Vashon Island) will be played.
