Coupeville Sports

Fall has been Klahowya’s domain.

When you look at the three-year history of the 1A Olympic League, KSS has been the strongest across the board, the only one of the league’s four schools to post winning records in all four sports.

But Coupeville, which used a stellar winter and spring to take the varsity wins crown away from the Eagles in 2016-2017 (triumphing 51-48 across 10 sports), has been making inroads in the fall.

The Wolf volleyball squad has bounced from 1-5 to 3-3 to 8-1 over the past three seasons, unseating Klahowya for the league title in 2016.

CHS girls soccer has yet to topple the Eagles, but has finished in second place three years running.

Wolf boys tennis has back-to-back titles, hasn’t lost a league match since 2014, and would have more wins if bad weather hadn’t sliced away multiple matches the past two years.

The weak link for Coupeville has been football, but even there, the Wolves haven’t stunk up the joint like some other school’s fall teams — Chimacum boys tennis is winless — and they remain the only Olympic League rival to beat Port Townsend on the gridiron.

As we head into a new season, the goals are simple.

Repeat titles for volleyball and tennis, a miracle on the soccer pitch and continued growth on the football field.

And, if nothing else, hang tough and whisper “winter is coming.”

Those three words will assuredly haunt the rest of the Olympic League, as they herald the return of a Coupeville girls basketball squad which, at 27-0 in league play, is the best conference squad in any sport.
