No rain, all gain!!

Let them play and they will win.

The rainiest spring in recent memory has played havoc with the schedule for the Coupeville High School girls tennis team.

Maybe that’s changing, though, as Monday provided clear skies and not a single drop of liquid sunshine.

Taking advantage, the Wolf netters played a complete match for the first time in almost two weeks, whacking visiting Friday Harbor 7-0.

The victory, coming against a longtime rival, lifts Coupeville to 3-3 on the season.

The Wolves, who are hoping against hope to play four matches this week, host Chimacum Tuesday, then hit the road Wednesday (South Whidbey) and Thursday (Klahowya).

Their trip to Silverdale could be a two-for-one experience, as the plan is to finish a match that was suspended (by rain, what else) with the Wolves ahead 2-0, then play a regularly scheduled match.

Facing off with Friday Harbor, Coupeville ran away with the match, winning six of seven varsity tilts in straight sets.

With their win, first doubles duo Sage Renninger and Payton Aparicio improved to a flawless 5-0 as a unit this season.

Renninger is actually 6-0, having won a match with lil’ sis Avalon when her normal partner was on vacation.
