Genna Wright is wasting no time.
While her first day of school as a Coupeville High School freshman is still five days away, the youngest member of the Wright family athletic dynasty is already nabbing headlines.
The irrepressible Genna, youngest of four siblings, banked home a goal in her high school debut Thursday, providing the biggest highlight for the Wolf girls soccer team at a season-opening three-team jamboree.
Coupeville fought to a scoreless tie with fellow 1A rival South Whidbey, then fell 3-1 to host Oak Harbor, a large 3A school, in shortened games.
“A good showing for our first outing,” said CHS coach Kyle Nelson. “(Genna had) a nice goal from a little distance, well placed in the upper right.”
The Wolves open the regular season Thursday, Sept. 7, when they travel to Langley for a rematch with South Whidbey.
The non-conference tilt against the Falcons kicks off at 6 PM.
