You couldn’t ask for a closer rivalry.
Four times Coupeville and Friday Harbor’s girls’ tennis teams clashed this season, and all four matches ended with the same 3-2 score.
The Wolves won the first two, while the Wolverines rebounded to claim the second pair, including Friday’s regular-season finale on Whidbey Island.
In doing so, Friday Harbor earns a share of the Northwest 2B/1B League crown, while CHS coach Ken Stange still notches his 12th title with the girls’ program.
He has 17 titles at the school since taking over both the boys and girls tennis programs in 2005.
With the regular season done, Coupeville is off to the bi-district tourney next Friday, May 19 at the Amy Yee Tennis Center in Seattle.
That single-elimination royal rumble pits District 1’s Coupeville and Friday Harbor against District 4’s Three Rivers Christian, which hails from Longview.
Each team will send two singles players and two doubles teams to bi-districts, with the winners advancing to the state championships.

1st Singles — Helen Strelow beat Isabella VanderYacht 6-0, 6-3
2nd Singles — Djina Radenovic lost to Megan Mellinger 6-0, 6-0
