They’re on the board.
The Coupeville High School boys soccer squad became the final fall sports team to make its season debut, falling 6-1 Tuesday at Mount Vernon Christian.
The Wolf booters had an earlier game cancelled, pushing back their opener.
And while Coupeville lost to a tough Northwest 2B/1B League rival, it acquitted itself well.
“Great game and great play from everyone against a state contender,” said CHS coach Robert Wood.
“Gave them a chance to see the pace of play and skillset/accuracy needed to contend.”

Coupeville’s goal came courtesy Aidan Wilson, who smacked home a shot for an unassisted score.
“He wanted the ball more than the keeper,” Wood said.
It was Wilson’s fourth high school goal.
Coupeville has a chance to get a few more practices in, before its home opener Saturday, Sept. 17 against Cedar Park Christian-Lynnwood.
Kickoff is at noon at Mickey Clark Field, with the Wolf girls playing Ocosta at 2 PM in the second half of a doubleheader.
Admission is free for both games.
