And then Amanda took her brother to dinner, where he was fed by renown chef Andreas Wurzrainer.

Playing for one of the final times before Coupeville loses him to Vienna, Dawson d’Almeida showed continued evidence of being a soccer prodigy.

The younger brother of former Wolf great Amanda d’Almeida, who lettered as a freshman himself this season on the pitch, he will be following his parents overseas next school year.

Until then, he’s content to whip the local talent.

Celebrating his 15th birthday, Dawson combined with four other boys — three from Oak Harbor and one from Sedro-Woolley — to capture first in the boys 13-15 division at a 3v3 soccer tournament over the weekend. The local booters won the final 5-3.

“Not a bad way to spend a birthday weekend for a soccer fanatic!,” said proud dad Dan d’Almeida.

Sometimes it’s not about the score.

For the hordes of Coupeville boys and girls from the Central Whidbey Soccer Club who hit the pitch Thursday afternoon, it was largely about having fun, maybe picking up a few skills, and definitely figuring out where the person with the camera was.

In there clicking away was ace photo whiz Pat Kelley, capturing the action and the side stories all at the same time.

Like it or not, next year may be a rebuilding year.

At least 10 of the 17 Coupeville High School boys’ soccer players who earned a varsity letter won’t be back in the red and black next season. The Wolves lose eight seniors, plus already know that freshman Dawson d’Almeida and sophomore Jeremy Copenhaver are leaving due to family moves.

But Wednesday night was about honoring what happened this season and not worrying about what will come later.

Leading the way at a team banquet were seniors Luke Pelant (MVP) and Nathan Lamb (Most Inspirational) and two underclassmen who ARE expected back — junior Jared Dickson (Most Improved) and freshman Tanner Kircher (Rookie of the Year).

Pelant and Lamb were also noticed by rival Cascade Conference coaches, with both being named Second-Team All-Conference.

Earning letters were seniors Kole Kellison, Nathan Kircher, Lamb, Jacob Lovell, Pelant, Tim Quinn, Danny Savalza and Josh Wilsey.

Joining them were juniors Brett Arnold, Dickson and Sean Donley, sophomores CJ Caidic, Copenhaver and Joel Walstad and freshmen Zane Bundy, d’Almeida and Tanner Kircher.

Earning participation certificates were Cameron Boyd, Seth Campbell, Garrett Compton, Josh Datin, Beauman Davis, Ryan Freeman, Jason Knoll, Oscar Liquidano, Connor McCormick, Cody Menges and Loren Nelson.

It’s a Monday morning, so your brain may not be ready to read yet.

How convenient, then, that I can offer you a string of glossy Central Whidbey youth soccer photos to survey, with very few words attached to tax your cranium.

The pics are by the world’s busiest clicker, John Fisken. If you like what you see, you can purchase photos at http://www.shutterfly.com/pro/OakHarborSports/NWSC2013/20130518BU10OrangeDragonsvsCoupeville1 (Ciao jerseys) and http://www.shutterfly.com/pro/OakHarborSports/NWSC2013/20130518BU10WhiteWildcatsvsCoupeville2 (Red Bull jerseys).

Part of any proceeds will help fund a Coupeville High School scholarship set up by the camera man.

Young booters score big thrills!!

The next generation is coming.

Wearing a variety of eye-popping uniform choices, the young booters of Central Whidbey are taking to the soccer pitch in epic numbers, and who knows what they will produce.

Is one of them the next Jeremy Copenhaver or Amanda d’Almeida, or something even bigger?

Even if none of them ever end up making the big time in their chosen sport, they’ll be able to look back at some point and remember those early days when they played for orange slices and watermelon wedges.

And, thanks to the many photos reeled off by Pat Kelley and others, they’ll be able to see those moments in time, forever captured on film.

The photos above are but a miniscule amount of what can be found at the Central Whidbey Soccer Club’s Facebook page. For thousands (OK, maybe hundreds) more, head over to https://www.facebook.com/CentralWhidbeySoccerClub?fref=ts.
