Things are working out quite nicely.

As area high schools return to action after a year off thanks to the ongoing pandemic, one has risen above the others this spring.

Coupeville, the newcomer to the Northwest 2B/1B League, has won conference crowns in softball and girls tennis, and still has an outside shot at making it three-for-three with a baseball title.

Overall, looking at the three spring sports in which win/loss records are recorded (track is its own unique thing), CHS is 19-2, with almost as many wins as the other six schools combined.

Friday Harbor, which currently holds the top spot in baseball, sits second with 11 victories, with Darrington (6), Orcas Island (4), and Mount Vernon Christian (1) trailing.

Concrete, and somewhat surprisingly, traditional league power La Conner, have yet to win a spring contest.

Things come to a close this coming week, followed by the transition to traditional fall sports.

Coupeville tennis finishes first, playing at Friday Harbor Monday, while track has two meets – one Wednesday at La Conner, before the League Championship meet Saturday on Whidbey.

Softball is scheduled to travel to Friday Harbor on Friday, then La Conner Saturday, while CHS baseball gets four games in the final five days of the season.

The Wolf diamond men host Mount Vernon Christian Tuesday, celebrating Senior Night, before joining softball on its road trips.

If Coupeville baseball bounces MVC, then sweeps a doubleheader from Friday Harbor — the only team it’s lost to this season — the Wolves would move into a tie with the Wolverines heading into their respective season finales.

Overcoming a 2.5 game deficit in the final week won’t be easy, but stranger things have happened.
