Four of the six Coupeville girls who went to the state track meet last year can return in 2014.

The state track meet contingent in 2013 was (l to r) Kirsten Pelroy, Marisa Etzell, Jai’Lysa Hoskins, Sylvia Hurlburt, Madison Tisa McPhee and Makana Stone. Only Hoskins and Tisa McPhee graduated. (Kristin Hurlburt photo)

Saint Patricks’s Day is opening day.

Coupeville High School kicks off its spring sports season — its last as a member of the 1A/2A Cascade Conference — with baseball and softball games and a girls’ tennis match Monday, Mar. 17.

Boys’ soccer and track join the battle a day or two later, and the season runs into early May, when the postseason will start to play out.

Below are the schedules, as they sit today.

Baseball and softball schedules are still being tweaked, and a 20th game will be added to both schedules shortly.

Also, as we go forward, expect weather to play havoc with things (the sun will come out just as the season winds down…), so keep an eye on the schedule at http://coupeville.tandemcal.com/.

Things to keep in mind:

*If boys’ soccer has enough players for a JV squad, they will play the same dates and locations as the varsity, with their games kicking off two hours earlier.

*There is a chance baseball will field a JV team this season. If they do, that schedule will be announced later.

*There is no JV for softball or track and tennis matches are one big mash-up. Varsity netters go first, but JV players then hit the courts as they open up, meaning often varsity and JV are playing at the same time.

*There are no home meets for track this season.

*Coupeville has one golfer — junior Christine Fields, a two-time state meet qualifier (she placed 8th as a freshman, 15th as a sophomore). She practices and travels with South Whidbey, since CHS does not have a team, but competes as a one-woman Wolf squad.

Of the eight teams in the Cascade Conference, three (South Whidbey, King’s and Coupeville) are 1A, but King’s does not field baseball, softball or girls’ tennis teams.

*Coupeville, the smallest 1A school in the state, is jumping to an all-1A division of the Olympic League next school year, where its counterparts will be Port Townsend, Chimacum and Klahowya. Softball and girls’ tennis both play Port Townsend this spring, giving them an early look at their future rivals.

You can’t contain Zane Bundy, but you can injure him.

The Coupeville High School sophomore and his select soccer team, the North West Nationals, won two games this past weekend at a college showcase tournament in Portland.

Bundy, playing in front of a Whitman College coach who came to see him play, assisted on the eventual winning goal in his team’s final game, before being felled by an ankle injury.

“Not sure how bad yet, waiting for the swelling to go down,” said mom Janine Bundy.

The Nationals finished the tourney 2-1-1.

d'Almeida gets a few words of wisdom -- in German -- from his new coach.

d’Almeida gets a few words of wisdom — in German — from his new coach.

It took him five months, but Dawson d’Almeida has finally made his European soccer debut.

d’Almeida, who played for Coupeville High School as a freshman last season, moved to Vienna with his family when his parents, Dan and Cathy, accepted two-year teaching positions at the Amadeus International School in Austria.

Older sister Amanda went left when the family went right and played her freshman season at Carleton College in Minnesota this past fall.

While Dawson has no plans to one day pursue a pro career, it still took FIFA almost half a year to clear his transfer papers. Once they did, he got back on the field and took part in a big-time victory.

His new team, the SC Young Stars, upset a team three leagues higher than them that does, in fact, feature multiple players with pro career talent and dreams.

d’Almeida and his new teammates romped to a 4-2 victory.

While the former (and future?) Wolf didn’t score, he came close, smacking a shot on goal on a rebound off a corner kick that the goalie snagged at the last second.

If nothing else, his time on the pitch in Vienna will give Dawson a feel for the true international feel of the beautiful game, starting with the fact his new coach speaks German.

Many of the clubs he will face feature players from multiple countries.

Croats, Serbs, Turks and Hungarians mix on the field, along with one soccer standout from a small town in Western Washington.

Zane Bundy is flying high.

The Coupeville High School sophomore is preparing for the upcoming boys’ soccer season by playing with a select squad that will be taking part in a college showcase in Portland this weekend.

Bundy and his teammates on the North West Nationals have played in Oregon before, but this will be their first time taking the field in front of
college coaches scouting for prospective players.

Continually working on his game, the Wolf speedster also attended a soccer camp at the University of Washington recently. Seeing a different level of competition is always helpful as you hone your own skills.

“It was a very high level of soccer and fast paced game, a lot of fun,” Bundy said. “And the coaching staff was very helpful and informative.”
