Let the tributes pour in.

Three Coupeville High School fall sports teams have Senior Night events slated for this coming week, though one doesn’t actually have any 12th graders on its roster.

Wolf volleyball and boys’ soccer will each acknowledge three players Tuesday, before playing Friday Harbor and Orcas Island, respectively.

Meanwhile, CHS girls’ soccer, which has a roster full of young’uns, hosts Friday Harbor on Thursday, and there has been talk the booters are reaching out to local senior citizens to take the place of their non-existent senior players.

A fourth Coupeville team, cross country, which has already held its Senior Night festivities, travels to University Prep Saturday for the district meet, putting a wrap on things.

Maybe.

Boys’ soccer could also end up hosting a tie-breaker game Thursday, and the booters may open district play Saturday, depending on where they finish in the final standings.

With the regular season rushing to a close and postseason activity heating up, here are where things sit through October 25:

They’ve never seen anything like this before in Coupeville High School soccer history.

Girls or boys.

Freshman goaltender Finley Helm moved out into the field for part of Saturday’s game in Port Townsend and became the 16th Wolf girl to score this season.

That helped CHS eke out a hard-fought 2-2 non-conference tie with host East Jefferson, which is a mashup of Chimacum and Port Townsend players.

The draw leaves Coupeville at 6-5-3 heading into the regular season finale at home Thursday, October 29 against Northwest 2B/1B League rival Friday Harbor.

Kickoff for the free-admission rumble is set for 4:00 PM at Mickey Clark Field, and since the Wolves have no 12th graders on their roster, they are inviting local senior citizens to attend and be honored on Senior Night.

For those who show up, they’ll see a band of pitch warriors who have achieved something never before done in Coupeville soccer history.

When Helm scored, notching her first goal of the season and second of her prep career, she made sure every girl on the 2026 roster will finish with a score.

With 16 players combining for 32 goals, the Wolves also break a tie with the 2004 CHS boys’ squad, which saw 15 players hit the back of the net.

The previous single-season high for a Coupeville girls’ team was nine scorers, achieved in 2015 and 2017.

Lucy Schisel (12) is making a sizable impact on the soccer pitch.

Saturday’s other goal came courtesy rampaging 8th grader Lucy Schisel, who knocked in her team-leading sixth score.

With Helm playing the field in the first half, the Wolves used Bella Sandlin and Lyla Grose in the net, before Helm returned to netminder duties after the halftime break.

 

Season scoring stats through October 24:

Lucy Schisel – 6
Hazel Goldman – 4
Lyla Grose – 3
Ariella Lee-Spaulding – 3
Tamsin Ward – 3
Olivia Hall – 2
Lillian Ketterling – 2
Scarlet Barnes – 1
Emma Cushman – 1
Hailey Goldman – 1
Sophia Greene – 1
Finley Helm – 1
Paige Hill – 1
Taylor Marrs – 1
Bella Sandlin – 1
Bettie Woolworth – 1

The playoff dream lives for at least another week.

Holding off pesky La Conner 3-2 Tuesday, the Coupeville High School girls’ soccer squad picked up a key road win and kept its postseason chances in play.

With the victory, their third in their last four contests, the Wolf booters get to 5-4-2 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 6-5-2 overall.

Jasmine Ader’s pitch warriors sit in fourth place in the seven-team league, with the top three advancing to the playoffs.

Mount Vernon Christian (10-0 for 30 points) has clinched the regular season title, while Friday Harbor (7-3 for 21 points) and Lopez Island (6-3-2 for 20 points) currently hold down the other two slots.

Coupeville has 17 points and needs Lopez to lose to La Conner October 27, followed by the Wolves beating Friday Harbor at Mickey Clark Field October 29 to force a tie for third place.

Tuesday’s tilt sent the Wolves up against a La Conner team which “stole” a late 4-4 tie the first time around, so the win was sweet payback.

Sophomore sniper Tamsin Ward, who missed the first meeting while rehabbing an injury, played her third game of the season and netted two goals to spark CHS.

With the offensive burst, she gets to 18 career goals, passing Lindsey Roberts (17) for #4 on the all-time Wolf girls’ soccer scoring chart.

Up next is Genna Wright (20), followed by Kalia Littlejohn (33) and Mia Littlejohn (35).

Coupeville’s other goal came from 8th grader Lucy Schisel, who banged home her team-leading fifth score of the campaign.

The Wolf defense made it stand up, with freshman goaltender Finley Helm denying the Braves on a penalty kick and the back line refusing to buckle in the game’s final moments.

Coming off the win, Coupeville closes regular season play with a non-conference road game October 24 in Port Townsend against East Jefferson before the home finale with Friday Harbor.

Welcome to crunch time.

As we slip into the second half of October, the games get bigger and the playoff chase becomes a part of every day’s reality.

Cross country is the first Coupeville High School fall sports team to begin the postseason, racing at the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships Wednesday in Mount Vernon.

Meanwhile, Wolf football clashes with conference archrival Friday Harbor on the road Friday, needing a win to keep alive any playoff dreams.

For volleyball and the soccer squads, action continues as well.

The spikers trek off to La Conner Tuesday for a conference rumble, before hosting non-league rival Forks Friday night.

With the booters, the girls are at La Conner Tuesday, then off to Port Townsend Saturday to clash with East Jefferson, while the boys are in Bothell Wednesday to face Providence Classical Christian, then at home Friday against Crosspoint Christian.

Keeping that all in mind, here are where things sit through October 18:

“You can’t win. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.”

Star Wars sage Obi-Wan Kenobi said it first, maybe, but Taylor Marrs is living it every day.

The Coupeville High School junior, whose soccer season was rudely interrupted by a broken ankle, is like a Jedi in many ways — slightly mysterious, full of wisdom, and the inspiration for an entire galaxy.

In this case a galaxy of young Wolf soccer players who are emulating their Zen-like master and living up to the high standards she set for them on the pitch.

Marrs joins fellow Wolf booters to cheer on the CHS boys’ soccer squad.

And now, thanks to some diligent film work by CHS coaches Jasmine Ader and Jerry Helm, Miss Marrs is finally getting official credit for a goal she scored earlier in the season.

With the tally credited to Jaden and Lauren’s lil’ sis, 15 of the 16 players on this year’s roster have scored a goal — the highest total in program history.

And Taylor?

Like another movie legend, The Dude in The Big Lebowski, she abides.

Now and forever.

“Hush child and listen to the wisdom of your elders.”
