Color me genuinely shocked.
If you need proof that any team can beat any other team on a given day, look no further than Vashon Island football stunning Port Townsend 27-21 Friday in overtime.
The Pirates, who started the season 0-6, entered that game having been outscored 303-60, while the RedHawks, even after a one-point loss to Klahowya, entertained playoff hopes.
To which I say, no more.
Over here in Coupeville, where we continue to lose football players to injuries at a staggering rate, there was no miracle on the gridiron.
But our other sports are looking pretty good, so life is balanced out.
Wolf volleyball, in particular, is flying high, needing just one win in its final three matches to clinch back-to-back league titles.
Plus, if you add up the varsity (9-2), JV (9-1) and C-Team (3-0) records, the Coupeville spikers are an astonishing 21-3 under the guidance of Cory Whitmore, Chris Smith and Ashley Herndon.
Regular season play wraps up in both volleyball and soccer this coming week, with postseason action for tennis and soccer kicking off.
The Coupeville booters host their playoff opener Oct. 28 in Oak Harbor, while weather issues have jammed both the league tourney and districts into the same week for the netters.
