It’s the toughest 24-hours-plus they’re likely to face all season.
The Coupeville High School varsity volleyball squad, which is enjoying a strong season, plays juggernauts on back-to-back nights to open what will be a busy week.
Monday night it was a trip to Langley to face South Whidbey, and the result was a bruising 25-6, 25-11, 25-11 non-conference loss.
The loss drops the Wolves to 8-4, while the Falcons, who already swept two matches from perennial powerhouse King’s, rise to 11-2.
Now, Coupeville will need to bounce back immediately, as it hosts La Conner Tuesday in a showdown for control of the Northwest 2B/1B League.
The Wolves are 8-1 in league play, with their only loss coming to the two-time defending state champ Braves, who are 9-0 in the conference, 12-0 overall.
Things stay busy after that, with Friday Harbor (1-7, 2-9) coming to Coupeville Thursday, before the Wolves return to Langley Saturday for the Island Invitational.
Monday night CHS ran into a South Whidbey squad which is playing some of its best volleyball of the season.
“South Whidbey had a very tough serve that worked us over,” said Wolf coach Cory Whitmore. “When given the chance, we were aggressive with our swings.”
