There’s less than seven weeks.
We’re still very much in the midst of a Whidbey summer, in all its 55-degree glory, but Coupeville High School fall sports teams start practicing in August, with games launching the first week of September.
As you plan ahead for volleyball, cross country, tennis, soccer, and football, now is the perfect time to peruse the schedules and make some early plans.
As always, changes can, and often do happen, especially for tennis, the one sport which can be drastically affected by rain.
So, keep an eye on the league and/or school web sites as we move forward.
And always bring a coat. Always.
PS — If you haven’t been paying close attention, you may wonder why some sports seem to have radically different foes.
The short breakdown is this – volleyball, cross country, and girls soccer play in Coupeville’s primary league, the North Sound Conference.
But, since CHS and South Whidbey are the only NSC schools to field boys tennis teams, the Wolves and Falcons join theĀ Emerald City League for that sport.
And, finally, football is taking a one-year break from league play and playing an independent schedule while trying to build the program.
PPS — Cross country’s schedule may look a bit off.
Spoiler alert – it is, as the school has yet to post anything resembling a complete schedule on the league site, the school site, or athletic.net.
What’s below is the best I’ve been able to pull together so far.
So, there you go, and as you scan what’s below, a * denotes a league contest.
