The battle rages on.
As we creep into October, fall sports action is in full swing, with teams in every sport making their case for advancing to the playoffs.
The week ahead will be yet another busy one for Coupeville High School squads across five sports, with 10 events overall and half of them being played at home.
Boys’ soccer is the busiest, with three games in six days.
The Wolf booters host Lopez Island Monday, travel to Cedar Park Christian-Lynnwood Wednesday, then pop back up at Mickey Clark Field Saturday to welcome Mount Vernon Christian to Cow Town.
Their female counterparts also play at home against Lopez Monday, before trekking to Bothell Thursday to face Providence Classical Christian, while CHS cross country runs exclusively on the road.
The harriers will be on Friday Harbor Wednesday for a league meet, before venturing to Granite Falls Saturday for the Mountain Loop Invitational.

That leaves volleyball, which has a split schedule, and football, which has its biggest home event of the season.
The Wolf spikers host La Conner Monday, then visit Darrington Thursday.
Meanwhile the gridiron giants jam “The Battle for the Bucket,” Homecoming, and Senior Night into one evening Friday, with South Whidbey making the relatively short trip to the prairie.
As we look ahead, we also look back, so here’s where things currently sit:
