The games will return.

Yes, today is the third consecutive day without a Coupeville team playing, as a rain-soaked spring break plays out.

But Friday, weather permitting, brings the return of Wolf softball, and Saturday is slated to see softball, baseball and soccer all take the field.

Until then, a smattering of photos, drawing from all the various spring sports, to remind you of what it looks like when athletes are actually in action.

We shoot? We score!!

The offense has a little extra octane in it this year.

The Coupeville High School boys soccer squad passed the halfway point of the regular season Monday, and sits at 4-3-1 overall, 3-1 in Olympic League play.

After upcoming back-to-back non-conference tilts with Forks and Port Angeles, the Wolves close with five straight conference games, then hope to be playoff-bound.

If the goal-scoring stays at current levels, a postseason berth should be fairly easy to get.

With nine different players tallying at least one score, CHS has already rattled the net for 34 goals.

That figure tops last year’s season-ending totals and is already the fourth-best team mark in the last nine years.

Why am I using nine seasons for this comparison, you ask? Easy answer — that’s what the Olympic League site has archived.

So, looking at the Wolf boys from 2010 to this moment in time, here’s how things have played out.

2010 – 39 goals
2011 – 30
2012 – 27
2013 – 15
2014 – 22
2015 – 37
2016 – 48
2017 – 26
2018 – 34 and counting

When it comes to individual scoring, sophomore Derek Leyva, who transferred to Coupeville this year, is out in front and chasing the Wolf single-season records.

On the boys side, that mark belong to Derek’s cousin, Abraham Leyva, who punched in 20 in one campaign, while Mia Littlejohn owns the school record with 27.

Season totals:

Derek Leyva – 14
Aram Leyva – 6
Sam Wynn – 4
Pedro Gamarra – 3
William Nelson – 3
Chris Cernick – 1
Jonathan Partida – 1
Ethan Spark – 1
James Wood – 1

Jump into the fire!!

Forget black and white stripes, these refs are fashion forward in their thinking.

   But are they as ready to hit the runway as CHS assistant coach Luke Pelant? I think not.

   CHS football star Cameron Toomey-Stout, with hand raised, challenges Pelant to a Zoolander-style runway walk-off. Yes, I’m sure that’s what’s happening. Well, pretty sure. OK, maybe .05% sure… 

Back on the pitch, Sage Downes is busy sacrificing his noggin for his team.

It’s not going to get any easier.

The Coupeville High School boys soccer squad is off to a crisp start this year, but Monday marked the start of a four-game swing through the toughest part of the regular-season schedule.

And while the Wolves battled, they began their brush with their own murderer’s row by falling 3-1 to visiting Vashon Island.

The loss drops CHS to 4-3-1 on the season, while the Pirates climb to 6-1-2.

Next up for the Wolves is a home game Saturday against Forks, which is 6-0 and has outscored foes 32-1 this season.

Spartans goalie Gabriel Terrones opened the year with five straight shutout wins before surrendering a single, solitary score to Elma.

After that, Coupeville faces road rumbles with Port Angeles (6-2) and Klahowya (5-2-1).

Monday the Wolves got their lone goal from senior captain William Nelson.

It was his third tally of the season and the 34th goal Coupeville has notched.

With the game played under sunny skies, wanderin’ camera clicker John Fisken swung by Mickey Clark Field and spent some quality time plying his trade.

Breeze blows in snappy pics!!

Port Townsend or Coupeville fans, all united by being cold.

“Ha ha, death from above … and … oh crud, my wings are frozen again!!”

Teo Keilwitz uses Jedi mind tricks to freeze the ball in mid-air.

   Joey Lippo digs the longball, even if the steady breeze wasn’t super-conducive to the round trippers on this day.

   All eyes are on the field, except for one lil’ girl intent on figuring out how to break out of her restraints.

Alex Jimenez (right) charges into the fray.

It was prime picture-taking weather.

While the sun was out Friday, there was a nasty lil’ prairie breeze assaulting everyone who stood still too long.

In an effort to keep warm, travelin’ camera clicker John Fisken bounced between the baseball field, and the more-sheltered soccer pitch.

The pics seen above, a mix of on and off field action, are courtesy him.

To see everything he shot (as both Wolf teams won handily), pop over to:

Wolves chew up, spit out, Cowboys!!

Let’s agree not to sugarcoat things — Chimacum High School boys soccer is not in a great place right now.

When you’ve been outscored 55-0 in five games, your offense isn’t working and neither is your defense.

The latest team to tattoo them was Coupeville, which gave three players their first scoring opportunity of the season Friday, and ran as many JV players into action as possible.

And still romped to a 9-0 win.

The second-straight conference victory for the Wolves, it lifts them to 3-1 in Olympic League play, 4-2-1 overall.

It also pulls CHS within a half-game of league leader Klahowya (3-0), while Port Townsend (1-2) and Chimacum (0-4) bring up the rear.

The Wolves struck for eight of their nine goals in the first half and finished the game with six players in the scoring column.

Freshman Sam Wynn led the way, recording a hat trick to push his season scoring totals to four goals.

Aram Leyva added a pair of goals (he has four on the year), while cousin Derek Leyva settled for a single goal, his team-leading 14th.

Senior Ethan Spark notched his first goal of the season, with sophomores Chris Cernick and Jonathan Partida recording their first-ever varsity scores to round out the attack.

With some help from his defenders, Wolf goalie Dewitt Cole recorded the shutout.

CHS coach Kyle Nelson used the game somewhat as a training device, but with an eye also on clinching the win as quickly as possible.

“We were able to get quite a few JV players in,” he said. “Nice to get another league win.”

Things are about to get a lot tougher for Coupeville, as its next four foes, Vashon (5-2-1), Forks (6-0), Port Angeles (6-2) and Klahowya (5-2-1) are a combined 22-6-2.

First up is Vashon, which visits Whidbey Monday for a 4 PM non-conference game.
