Tuesday was the appetizer, Thursday is the main course.
Two days before it heads off to the Olympic League tournament, the Coupeville High School boys’ tennis squad wrapped up regular-season play with a 6-2 non-conference loss at South Whidbey.
The match gave the Wolves, who finished 5-8 on the season, some valuable court time, as two of their previous three matches were rained-out.
With little at stake, CHS shuffled its roster a bit Tuesday, giving doubles ace Joey Lippo his first crack at playing singles.
Thursday, the Wolves will take three singles players (Nick Etzell, Jakobi Baumann and Mason Grove) and three doubles duos to Chimacum for the league tourney.
John McClarin/Joseph Wedekind, Lippo/William Nelson and Grey Rische/Jimmy Myers will represent CHS, which went 4-0 in conference play to nab its second straight regular season league title.
The top four finishers in each flight at the league tourney advance to districts Oct. 26-27.
