Tonight is your last chance. Don’t miss it.

The Coupeville High School girls’ soccer squad wraps its 2013 season, and bids farewell to seniors Tori Wellman and Joye Jackson starting at 6:30 at Mickey Clark Field. It’s part of a (free) doubleheader, with the Wolf JV football team playing King’s starting at 4 on the same field.

The soccer opponent is Granite Falls, a team the Wolves came close to beating the first time around.

And while there have been diehard fans who have been at every home game (some even follow the team on the road), now is the time for even the most casual of fan to get off their butt, record Monday Night Football for later viewing, and come cheer on the CHS booters.

Do it for town pride. Do it because it makes you a better person. But do it.

Twice as many wins as last year.

That’s where the still very-young Coupeville High School girls’ soccer squad sits, with one final game to play Monday at home.

That contest, set to kick-off at 6:30 PM, will start with seniors Tori Wellman and Joye Jackson being recognized.

Well, at least it was a nice day.

Sandwiched in between the previously persistent fog and the rain that has now hit Whidbey, Saturday was a beautiful slice of Fall. So, there was that.

Pure soccer fans got a treat, as well. Pure Coupeville fans, not as much, maybe.

If you wanted to see one of the top teams in the land play with precision and poise and pound on another team, there was that. Unfortunately, it was Coupeville that was being pounded on, as visiting King’s drilled them 7-0 in a game that started, and was effectively over, before noon.

The Knights are 12-3 and a viable threat for a 1A state title and they showed why, quietly dispatching the still-improving Wolves in a hail of big shots.

Beth Stella narrowly missed the hat trick, but settled for two goals and two assists to pace King’s.

The Wolves, who fell to 2-13 (double their win total from 2012), close their season with Senior Night 6:30 Monday against Granite Falls, a team they pushed hard in a 2-0 loss earlier in the week. Joye Jackson and Tori Wellman will be honored.
