She’s a winner, every step of the way.
Genna Wright, who is wrapping up her sophomore year at Coupeville High School, is one of the school’s top athletes.
A ferocious goal-scorer on the soccer pitch and the #1 singles player for the Wolves on the tennis court, the youngest in a family full of athletic stars is carving out her own successful trail.
Wright’s latest accomplishment came this weekend, as she helped lead her select soccer squad to a title at the 25th annual Skagit Firecracker in Mount Vernon.
She and her Northwest United teammates finished 3-0-1 while playing in the U18 division.
After opening with a 7-1 rout of the FSC Gunners Friday, NWU nipped the Irish Gators 3-2 the following day.
Wrapping things up Sunday, Wright and Co. fought to a scoreless tie with Bremerton Force, then rebounded to beat the same team 1-0 in the tourney title game.
The toe which produced the lone goal in the finale?
It belonged, of course, to the very-efficient Wright, who knocked in the game (and title)-winning score.
Coupeville High School coach Kyle Nelson has to be happy with the way his top goal scorer is playing during the “off-season.”
When Wright returns to kick off her junior season this fall, she will start play in a tie as the #3 goal scorer in CHS girls history.
With 17 goals to her credit across two high school seasons, she sits even with Lindsey Roberts, who just graduated.
After she eases ahead of her former teammate, Wright can turn to chasing down the only Wolf girls ahead of her on the career chart.
That would be the now-departed Mia and Kalia Littlejohn, who punched in 35 and 33 goals in their CHS careers, respectively.
