Academics. Athletics. Excellence.
Achieving high standards, Coupeville High School is ranked third out of 61 schools in the 2B classification in the first Scholastic Cup standings.
The rankings, which are compiled by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, “recognize performance in the classroom as well as on the playing surface.”
Team athletic performances at the state tournament level of competition matters, as does team academic performance, and school-wide sportsmanship.
Coupeville notched 355 points for the fall season, placing them behind just Saint George’s (585) and Okanogan (435).
Cle Elum-Roslyn and Liberty (Spangle) round out the current top five with 240 points.
Coupeville’s points came courtesy a number of teams.
The girls’ cross country squad collected 100 points for being the 2B scholastic state champs, and another 30 points for finishing 8th as a team at the state meet.
Wolf boys’ soccer picked up 80 points for having the second-best GPA among 2B teams, while Coupeville’s female booters brought in 30 for placing 7th in the classroom.
Football’s first trip to the state playoffs since 1990 was worth 20 points, while the gridiron giants earned another 30 points for being the 8th best scholastic squad in the classification.
Rounding out the effort, boys’ cross country notched 40 points for a 5th place GPA showing, while Coupeville’s athletic programs were handed another 25 points for school-wide sportsmanship.
Scholastic Cup standings will be updated after the winter season, with the winning schools announced at the end of spring sports.
