Tennis balls are flying once more.
The weather was decent Tuesday, and the Coupeville High School girls’ net squad took advantage, traveling to Port Townsend for the season opener.
After a ferry trip, the Wolves clashed with East Jefferson, which is the mashup between former CHS league rivals Chimacum and Port Townsend.
The visitors swept the varsity singles, with the hosts bouncing back to take the doubles matchups, ultimately pulling out a tense 3-2 non-conference victory.
It was a good start for a Wolf team which has increased numbers from a year ago and will get to host matches this season after work on new courts prevented that from happening last spring.
In fact, Coupeville will play its first match on the courts which now sit next to the CHS gym this Friday, when East Jefferson returns the favor and travels to Cow Town for a rematch.
