Coupeville Sports

And so it begins.

Certain spring sports, like, say, tennis, exist at the whims of the rain gods.

Last year was pretty dry for the Coupeville High School netters, so this year? Probably time to build a new Noah’s Ark.

Opening day fell victim to the wet stuff, as Port Angeles called off Monday’s non-conference match before the Wolves even headed to the bus.

Up next for CHS, a possible road trip to Langley Tuesday, followed by a home match-up with Sequim Thursday.

But, a quick glance at the 10-day weather report shows nothing but rain on Whidbey until Sunday, so good luck with that.

Now, back when I played tennis at Tumwater High School, our coach, Lionel Barona, sent us inside to run staircases in the gym on rainy days.

No word yet on whether Coupeville net guru Ken Stange plans to follow suit.
