And then a ballet broke out at mid-field.

"AAAAAAAAA!!!! I may have just pulled a muscle ... or 20 of them."

"Boys..." Wynter Arndt

“Boys…” Wynter Arndt is not impressed.

“Hey, that’s my ball. I’ll just take it back now. Yoink!”

Arndt, serene off the pitch, but ruthless when battling for the ball.

"Outta my way! I got goals to score, fool!!"

“Outta my way! I got goals to score, fool!!”

Arisbeth Montiel’s little sister is a goal-scoring superstar.

That much is very evident when you look at pictures of Marlen Montiel in action from Saturday youth soccer.

Following in the footsteps of her older sister, who has scored twice for the CHS girls’ soccer squad this year (sister Citlalli is also on the Wolf roster), the little Montiel is already claiming the spotlight.

With travelin’ photo man John Fisken out and about, snapping pics wherever a soccer ball might be bouncing, Montiel and other future Wolf booters are getting their moment tonight.

Bask in the awesomeness.

“Rocket boosters fire in three, two, one…”

“If I turn like this when I kick, I’ll show off the sponsor logo better. That better be worth a free cookie or two…”

"I think I just pulled like 17 muscles..."

“I think I just pulled like 17 muscles…”

"Scorin' goals. Scorin' goals all day long. It's kind of my thing."

“Scorin’ goals. Scorin’ goals all day long. It’s kind of my thing.”

As the rain falls outside, bask in some sunny soccer pics from back when the weather was nice.

You know, a day or two ago.

The pics are courtesy travelin’ photo man John Fisken, who shoots in all weather.

Now, it gets serious.

Riding high after thrashing Snohomish United 6-0 Saturday, the North Whidbey Deception FC-01 boys’ soccer squad prepares for a first-place showdown this weekend.

The Deception, who are powered by their high-scoring Coupeville mercenaries, are 4-0 and have outscored opponents 22-4.

Awaiting them this Saturday, Oct. 10 will be Bellevue’s Lake Hills Legend, also 4-0.

The game will be at Ft. Nugent Park, with a kickoff time still to be determined.

Bellevue’s offense is not quit as explosive as Whidbey’s, but their defense is even more lock-down, with the Legends holding a 14-2 scoring advantage on the pitch this season.

In their tune-up against Snohomish, the Deception benefited from Aram Leyva’s second hat trick of the season.

The Coupeville Middle School seventh grader had his first two goals set up by schoolmate Matthew Kelley, then nailed his third score when he corralled his own missed header and knocked the rebound back in the net.

Kelley and fellow Wolf Sam Wynn each scored, while Kelley collected three assists and Sage Downes set up another score.

The Coupeville connection has combined to score 17 of North Whidbey’s 22 goals, led by Leyva, who has tallied eight.

Kelley has six, having scored in every game, while Wynn, Downes and Jake Mitten have tallied one apiece.

"I got moves like Ronaldo, son!!"

“I got moves like Ronaldo, son!!”

"I was told there would be post-match snacks. I would hope I was not misinformed..."

  “I was told there would be post-match snacks. I would certainly hope I was not misinformed…”

"There better be snacks!! Why else do you think I agreed to coach?!?!"

“There better be snacks!! Why else do you think I agreed to coach?!?!”

"SNNNNNNAAAACCKKKKSSSS!!!!"

“SNNNNNNAAAACCKKKKSSSS!!!!”

"Snacks?!?! Here, you have the ball! I gotta get over there before they give out all the orange slices and I get stuck with that one grapefruit they slipped in and hoped no one noticed..."

“Here, you have the ball! I gotta get there before they give out all the orange slices and I get stuck with that one grapefruit they slipped in and hoped no one noticed…”

"Am I the only one around here still doing their job?!?!"

“Am I the only one around here still doing their job?!?!”

The brother also rises.

Coupeville High School senior Dalton Martin may be getting a large chunk of the spotlight right now, what with being a state meet-approved track star, but lil’ brother Logan is charging hard in a bid to unseat the king.

Logan and other BU12 booters were the focus Saturday as travelin’ photo man John Fisken clicked away, and the photos above capture the possible future of Wolf soccer.

Put them out of their misery fast.

That’s what Aram Leyva and his teammates on the North Whidbey Deception FC-01 boys’ soccer squad wanted to do Saturday.

Playing a team that was greatly over-matched, the Deception, fueled by their Coupeville mercenaries, romped to a 5-0 win in a game that could have had twice as big a margin.

Leyva took care of a huge chunk of the scoring responsibilities, raining down a hat trick, then tossed in an assist to go with his three goals.

Fellow Wolves Matthew Kelley and Sage Downes banged home the team’s other two goals, while Kelley also collected an assist.
