It’s a three-man shootout.

The Coupeville High School varsity boys’ soccer squad has played 75% of its regular season games, with nine in the books and three left on the schedule.

As they make the turn for the run-up to the playoffs, the Wolves have three booters battling for the team lead in scoring, with just a goal separating the trio from a three-way tie.

While none of these current players are putting up the kind of numbers CHS scoring leaders Abraham, Derek, and Aram Leyva did in their heyday, they are making life difficult for rival goaltenders.

Shut one down, and another will find a way to get the ball into the back of the net.

That makes for a deadly recipe which usually comes out in favor of the Wolves.
