"Are we not men?! Is this not bracing?!?! Yeah, screw that ...

   Oscar Liquidano commands the field like a Roman general. “Are we not men?! Speak not of the cold!!”

There was a nip in the air, but that didn’t stop them.

The rain stayed away Monday, and, all bundled up, Coupeville High School athletes trundled outside for the start of spring sports.

Bouncing from field to field to capture the moment was roving photo man John Fisken, who provides the pics above capturing the Wolf boys kicking off their baseball, soccer and track seasons.

Young Wolves howl, Part 1: Big Kicks!!

Aram Leyva (17) charges up-field.

Coupeville set the table and Oak Harbor responded.

With two of its three goals coming on assists from Coupeville Middle School players, the BU13 North Whidbey Islanders FC01 soccer squad rolled to a 3-1 win over Kent Black Saturday.

Aram Leyva and Matthew Kelley each notched assists, while Leyva hit pay-dirt on a first-half goal only to have it waved off on an off-sides call.

The Wolf duo were joined by Sage Downes, Jake Mitten and Michael Laska, all of whom had shots on goal.

North Whidbey rained down shots from all sides, with a frazzled Kent defense inadvertently heading one shot into its own goal.

With a fired-up Leyva controlling both ends of the field, the Islanders ran wild on a team they had tied 0-0 the last time they played.

It was the start of a busy day for the Wolf players, with four of them (all except Leyva) moving on to play a basketball game in the afternoon.

Nothing is set in stone.

With that said, here’s a peek at what we, kinda, sorta, think might (possibly) be the spring sports schedules for Coupeville High School and its five athletic teams (plus lone Wolf golfer Christine Fields, who practices and travels with South Whidbey.)

And yes, the first day of practice (Monday, March 2) is just five days away, with games set to start about two weeks later, but don’t expect the schedules to be 100% all there.

What we’re currently seeing is 17 games for softball and 19 for baseball, and both squads can go 20 games, so it’s possible deals are still being worked out.

And boys’ soccer? There’s currently a four-week stretch between Mar. 25 and Apr. 23 where the Wolves have exactly ONE GAME scheduled.

As always in recent years, what might seem a misprint is not — CHS track will spend its entire season on the road, as the school’s track oval awaits an upgrade.

So, keeping all of that in mind (and also realizing that spring, with potential rain, is the trickiest of all seasons in which to keep a schedule intact), here’s what we know as of this morning:

Coupeville’s young guns continue to sparkle on the soccer pitch.

This time around it was CMS 7th grader James Wood, who blasted home a goal in his team’s victory Saturday.

Paced by scores from Wood and Oak Harbor duo Jadyn and Alex Johnston, the North Whidbey Islanders Boys FC-01 squad bounced rival South Whidbey 3-1 for its first win of the spring.

The Islanders bring together the best of Central and North Whidbey, with eight players hailing from Coupeville (six 6th graders and two 7th graders) and eight from Oak Harbor.

Coached by Ryan Baker of Oak Harbor, the booters are playing in a league that runs through April 4.

The Islanders get right back at it this Saturday, Feb. 28, when they host Kent Black 1:30 PM at Wildcat Stadium in Oak Harbor.

The dude abides, every day!!

Colin Belliveau: The Dude abides. (John Fisken photos)

Colin Belliveau: Man of many faces. (John Fisken photos)

Colin Belliveau just seems like a good dude.

A friendly, easy-going guy, he fit right in after moving to Cow Town from Republic High School in Eastern Washington during his junior year.

Since becoming a Wolf, he’s tried his hand at football (transitioning from the 8-man game to the 11-man game) and soccer, and is a frequent presence at CHS events, loudly and proudly rooting for his classmates.

Belliveau also holds a place of distinction for the fact he’s VERY animated in the photos he pops up in. Take a look at the collage above and you’ll see what I mean.

That alone makes him a huge favorite here at Coupeville Sports headquarters.

After the basketball photo ran, he walked past me at a game, grinned broadly and said “Man, that camera knows just when to go off with me.”

Some guys try to be cool. Others just are.

Colin, who celebrates a birthday today, is obviously one of the latter kind.

So, a quick shout-out to our version of The Dude in “The Big Lebowski.”

Like Jeff Bridges, Belliveau abides and makes it all look easy-peasy.

I know Republic misses him, but he’s a part of Wolf Nation now, and we’re very happy we got the chance to meet him.
