This has a familiar ring to it.
When I tell you the Coupeville High School boys tennis team fell 3-2 to visiting Bear Creek Wednesday, you’ll probably respond, “I’ve heard that score before. A lot.”
And you have.
With a thin roster, the Wolves have battled for their life in their second season in the Emerald City League, the toughest 1A tennis conference in the state, and don’t have a lot of wins to show for it this time around.
But when you look at their 1-10 record, also take a moment to realize nearly half their matches have been decided by the slimmest of margins, that familiar 3-2 score.
Wednesday the wins came at #1 singles and #1 doubles, but the third win proved elusive.
Things should get a lot better Thursday, as the Wolves get a one-match reprieve from the ECL, hosting Friday Harbor in a non-conference rumble set to tip off at 3:30 PM.
If we can believe the record-keepers, Friday Harbor has spent much of its season playing themselves, and only themselves.
They currently show a 0-1 record, with that loss coming by a margin of … 3-2.
