They’re punching above their weight class.
Coupeville High School, which sits on the lowest rung of 1A, has played 10 of 18 games this spring against 2A schools.
That, naturally, has skewed the win-loss record a bit, as the Wolves are 4-4 against schools in their own (sorta) weight class, and 3-6-1 when playing teams from a higher berth.
The scheduling disparity will shift (a bit) this coming week, with six of the nine scheduled games against 1A competition, including five happening inside the Olympic League.
Wolf baseball and boys soccer have two conference games apiece, but the biggest thing on the schedule is softball’s visit Wednesday to Klahowya.
With Port Townsend and Chimacum having bailed on softball this season, dropping their teams for a year due to a lack of players, the Olympic League race for supremacy is just a two-team battle.
That means each of the three games the Coupeville diamond women play against Klahowya (Mar. 28, Apr. 20 and Apr. 30) take on a much-bigger emphasis than normal.
The path to hanging a league banner is simple — beat KSS and cue the celebration.
