Sophie Martin is a force of nature.
Time to get tense.
As fall sports unspool and we head deeper into October, the chase for playoff berths becomes more frantic.
Every game counts, but late-season games often matter even more.
What we know at this point — Coupeville High School girls and boys soccer are not playoff-bound, while volleyball absolutely is, and football will likely join the spikers in the postseason.
Meanwhile, cross country is its own thing, with its own unique path to follow, and boys tennis has been benched since the season was called-off before it began.
The week ahead is perhaps the busiest single stretch of days for Wolf teams, at least in terms of home games — and especially if you include middle school volleyball in that equation.
CHS cross country hosts the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships Thursday, Oct. 21, with Fort Casey State Park the hub for all activity,
Meanwhile, girls soccer hits the road Oct. 20 to play front-runner Mount Vernon Christian, and football hosts Cascade (Leavenworth) Oct. 22 for Homecoming.
Boys soccer and volleyball are the most active Wolf programs, combining for six games and a tournament in a six-day span.
The CHS booters host Friday Harbor Oct. 19, travel to Cedar Park Christian-Lynnwood Oct. 21, and host Lopez Island Oct. 23, with the last of those games being Coupeville’s Senior Night.
Meanwhile, Wolf volleyball travels to South Whidbey Oct. 18, hosts La Conner Oct. 19 and Friday Harbor Oct. 21, then closes the week Oct. 23 at the Island Invitational in Langley.
