Scrappy Wolves nip at the big dogs!!

Dangerously close.

For the second time this season the Coupeville High School girls tennis team faced a 2A school, and for the second time the scrappy Wolves came within a single match of upending their big school rivals.

In the end, however, Olympic, like Sequim before it, escaped Whidbey with a narrow 4-3 non-conference win.

The loss, coming in Coupeville’s first match in 11 days, drops the Wolves to 0-3 on the season.

After having a big gap between live opponents, the Wolves are hoping to get in a lot of competitive tennis this week.

CHS is scheduled to hit the road twice, with trips Tuesday to Granite Falls and Thursday to Port Angeles.

The two-time 1A Olympic League champs don’t open defense of their most recent title until April 13-14, when they play Klahowya and Chimacum back-to-back.

By then, if the schedule holds, the Wolves should be battle-hardened, having played six of their first seven matches against 2A opponents.

Monday, CHS got wins at first and third doubles and third singles.

Coupeville’s top doubles duo, juniors Payton Aparicio and Sage Renninger, remain flawless at 3-0 this season.
