They still like us.
For the second-straight year, the ultra-exclusive, private school-dominated Emerald City League bestowed its Best Sportsmanship award to the Coupeville High School boys tennis team.
The award is a testament to longtime Wolf net guru Ken Stange, and the lessons he has imparted to his players.
CHS competes in the North Sound Conference for every sport except one, and that’s boys tennis, as South Whidbey is the only other school from that six-team league to heft rackets.
So the two Whidbey schools linked up with the ECL, widely considered the toughest 1A tennis league in the state.
The other schools involved include Eastside Prep, Bear Creek, Overlake, The Bush School, Seattle Academy, and University Prep.
Despite being one of only two public schools in the league, and the farthest trip for the Seattle-based private schools, Coupeville has held up well.
The Wolves finished in fourth-place in 2018, and, with a very-thin roster this year, which forced a number of forfeits at #2 singles, still won three league matches.
