Soccer and science have become the best combo since chocolate and peanut butter.

Putting the student part squarely in student/athlete, four Coupeville High School soccer players captured gold at last weekend’s state Science Olympiad competition.

Guided by teacher Terry Welch, the quartet of Nick Dion, Connor McCormick, Sebastian Davis and Garrett Woody brought home the “Au.”

Dion and McCormick won for their work with the Scrambler, while Davis and Woody topped the field in the “Write It. Do It.” competition.

All four have also excelled on the field for the Wolves this season and return to action this afternoon, when the Wolves host Chimacum in an Olympic League showdown.

Play starts at 3:30.

Heart of a champion!!

The kid has no quit in him.

That’s what I thought early in the first season that I saw Isaac Vargas play.

He was suiting up for the Coupeville High School boys’ basketball squad and still wearing glasses when he played.

During a scramble for the ball, he got smacked in the face and the glasses flew off his nose and hit the court.

Without pausing, he kicked them to the bench and took off down the court, possibly blindly, pursuing his man, who had the ball and was hoping to push the attack.

Vargas, who celebrates a birthday today, has kept that same go-for-broke style through all of his sports, whether it be hoops, soccer or football, where he made an impact as one of the leaders on the Wolf line.

He might not be the loudest or the brashest player — he actually seems pretty laid-back most of the time — but there is obviously a fire that burns in his heart.

Watching him give his all for the past three years, I have to say, I’m impressed.

If everyone played with Ike’s hustle, guts and drive, they’d be better for it.

Happy birthday, Mr. Vargas.

Abraham Leyva had the kind of game they write songs about.

Picking apart host Chimacum from every angle Thursday, the Coupeville High School junior scored four goals and assisted on four others as the Wolves romped to an 11-1 victory.

The victory improved Coupeville to 2-5 overall, while launching them into first place in the 1A Olympic League standings at a pristine 1-0.

With fellow high-scoring gunner Zane Bundy out for the season (broken fibula), Leyva took the lead on offense all afternoon.

“Abraham had a great game,” said CHS coach Kyle Nelson. “He was a force that Chimacum did not have an answer to.”

“Nice to start the league season off well.”

Leyva’s goal explosion doubled his season output, putting him well ahead of the pack with eight goals.

JT Quinn, making his varsity debut, chipped in with a pair of goals, while Tanner Kircher, William Nelson, Ethan Spark, Sebastian Davis and Joel Walstad all found the back of the net as well.

Nelson and Spark also recorded assists.

Coupeville has a chance to get off to a really solid start in league play, since its next game is a rematch with the same team it just demolished.

The Wolves host Chimacum April 23.

A month is a long time.

But that’s almost how much time will pass between home games this season for the Coupeville High School boys’ soccer squad.

A variety of things have affected the schedule, but the last time the Wolf booters stepped on their home pitch against a real live foe was Mar. 28, when they routed Forks.

The next time CHS will play at home?

April 23, when Chimacum comes to Whidbey for an Olympic League game.

As a public service, we’re running the photos above to remind local fans what the Coupeville boys’ soccer players actually look like in action.

You’re welcome.

Moving on…

Sometimes, the less said, the better.

Coming off a two-week break between games, the Coupeville High School boys’ soccer squad returned to action Saturday.

Sort of.

Oh, the Wolves took the field on Vashon Island, but they failed to break out of a game-long funk and absorbed a 10-0 non-conference rout.

Their coach was less than impressed, but remained forward-looking.

“We did not do so well, we played like we were on break,” said Kyle Nelson. “We will regroup and get ready for our league games starting this week.”

The loss, the fourth time the Wolves were shut out this season, dropped them to 1-5.

But, more than half the season remains to right things.

Coupeville’s remaining schedule, which has been ripped up and put back together (again), kicks off with back-to-back Olympic League games against Chimacum (1-5).

The first of those is on the road this Thursday, April 16.

After that come two league games apiece against Port Townsend (1-5-1) and Klahowya (5-1-2) and a non-conference game against Charles Wright Academy.
