It’s been a while, but they’re back.
Returning to the court after nearly three weeks off, the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis team slugged it out with host South Whidbey Wednesday afternoon.
While the high-flying Falcons cruised to a 5-0 varsity win, the plucky, rebuilding Wolves did win two JV matches.
In a season where every match will be on the road for the Coupeville netters, as they wait for new courts to be finished, the Wolves are 0-3 but gaining valuable experience with every set.
CHS is slated to play six more matches, with their next road trip to Friday Harbor April 17.
Baylie Kuschnereit, the wily Falcon veteran, slaps a winner.
