The big payback.
With not one, but two separate doubles teams storming back from a set down to win their matches Tuesday, the Coupeville High School boys tennis squad stunned visiting Sequim 4-3.
The non-conference win, hailed as “quite the shocker!” by CHS coach Ken Stange, lifts the Wolves to 4-6 and is the team’s second win over a 2A school this season.
It’s also payback for the two schools first match back in early Sept., when Sequim was the one pulling out a narrow victory.
Coupeville, which wraps Olympic League play with back-to-back matches against win-less Chimacum the next two days, showed no quit.
First doubles duo William Nelson and Joey Lippo and #4 combo Jaschon Baumann and Tiger Johnson showed the most pluck, climbing back into their matches, then coasting home in third-set tiebreakers.
