This is the end.

The week ahead features the final Olympic League games for Coupeville High School sports teams, bringing a cap to a four-year run in the four-team conference.

Softball, baseball and soccer play Klahowya Monday (the first two on the road, the latter at home).

After that, baseball hosts Port Townsend May 2 and tennis welcomes Chimacum to town May 3.

While there’s still a chance to face their league rivals in the postseason, that’s it for regular season clashes.

Coupeville is off to the new six-team North Sound Conference with the 2018-2019 school year, rejoining South Whidbey and the other survivors of the Cascade Conference.

The Wolves are going out with a bang, however, as they are on the cusp of taking league titles in three of the four spring sports which track team win/loss records.

Softball is already in the bag, and baseball and tennis are within reach.

The CHS diamond men need just one win, in two games, or one Chimacum loss in the same time-frame, to claim their second title in three years.

For the Wolf netters, a fourth-straight title hinges on one thing — the season finale against Chimacum.

One day. Three singles matches. Four doubles. It’s all there for the taking.

Check back next week to see whether domination is the name of the game for the Wolves.

The road to an Olympic League girls tennis title still goes through Coupeville.

Pulling off the rare two-win afternoon Thursday in Silverdale, the Wolf girls tennis team bounced back into first place and set up a winner-take-all battle May 3 with Chimacum.

CHS drilled Klahowya twice, putting the final stamp on a 4-3 win in a match which began Apr. 17 but was delayed by rain, then romping 5-2 in Thursday’s regularly-scheduled rumble.

With the sweep, Coupeville soars to 4-1 in league play, 6-8 overall, putting itself a half-game up on Chimacum (3-1, 4-6).

Klahowya is mired in the basement at 0-5, 1-12.

Chimacum hosts KSS May 1, and then travels to Whidbey May 3 for the regular season finale.

The stakes in that match are simple — the winning team hoists a league title banner. Either CHS makes it four straight, or the Cowboys finally break through.

After that comes the league tourney May 7, also in Coupeville.

Let’s get intense!!

Kameryn St Onge rips winners, every dang day.

   A South Whidbey player on Coupeville Sports???? In this case, it’s the brilliant Oliana Stange, so we’ll make an exception.

Fab frosh Genna Wright lashes a scorching winner.

   Zara Bradley goes low to destroy the heart, soul and psyche of her foes with a wicked, unexpected shot.

You want intensity, hit the tennis courts.

While the young women who swing the rackets are generally some of the most easy-going, polite people you will find, put them between the lines and they become cold-blooded assassins.

That’s shown in the pics above, which were shot Wednesday by local paparazzi John Fisken.

Don’t stop til you drop!!

Play until the sun goes down.

That seemed to be the objective Wednesday for the final two varsity doubles teams on the court as Coupeville and South Whidbey clashed.

By the time Wolves Kameryn St Onge and Maggie Crimmins finished their epic battle with Falcons Oliana Stange and Ally Lynch, every other court was empty.

And, even though the result of their bout wouldn’t change the outcome of the team match (South Whidbey eventually won 4-1), the duos raged on against the dying sun.

One second-set game went to 24,507 deuces (give or take a few) as all four players took turns whacking crowd-pleasing winners.

Then, at the end, as Crimmins and St Onge tried to pull out a second-set tiebreaker (and force another, match-deciding tie breaker) things got downright bloody.

St Onge, who had been cranking wicked left-handed winners that skidded through the alleys, ripped open a finger and had to make a bee-line for a first-aid kit.

“We’re never going home, are we?”, said Jon Crimmins, Maggie’s proud papa, chuckling as he gazed at a marsh occupying the space where the CHS baseball diamond of his youth once sat.

And, while Stange and Lynch pulled out the win a few points later thanks to a couple of sweet winners, it was a fairly-perfect cap for all involved.

While the final team score was the same as the first time these teams met back in mid-March, the scrappy underdog Wolves (4-8 on the season) showed marked improvement against the Falcons (7-1).

Sophomore sluggers Tia Wurzrainer and Avalon Renninger battled back from a set down to win Wednesday, while freshman Genna Wright won six more games in her second go-around with battle-hardened Ashley Ricketts.

The strong play continued to the JV matches, where Coupeville won twice and Emily Fiedler and Jaimee Masters, in particular, laid down some brilliant shots.

If nothing else, the non-conference match was a good tune-up for Thursday’s ultra-important match-and-a-half at Silverdale.

The Wolves (2-1 in Olympic League play) will wrap a rain-delayed match (it’s sitting at 2-2 with three bouts still undecided), then play their regularly-scheduled tilt with Klahowya (0-3).

Win both and CHS vaults a half game ahead of Chimacum (3-1) and guarantees it will play for a fourth-straight league title.

Complete Wednesday results:

Varsity:

1st Singles — Claire Mietus lost to Robynn Maciel 6-0, 6-2

2nd Singles — Genna Wright lost to Ashley Ricketts 6-3, 6-3

2nd Doubles — Avalon Renninger/Tia Wurzrainer beat Farriss Jokinen/Ainsley Nelson 2-6, 6-3, 10-6

3rd Doubles — Kameryn St Onge/Maggie Crimmins lost to Ally Lynch/Oliana Stange 7-5, 7-6(7-5)

JV:

4th Doubles — Jillian Mayne/Zara Bradley lost to Erin Brewer/McKenna Kelley 8-5

Time to dig deep!!

All good things must come to an end. It just wasn’t supposed to happen this early.

Playing with a shuffled lineup Tuesday, the Coupeville High School girls tennis team tasted defeat for the first time in 18 matches against its fellow 1A Olympic League foes.

Falling 4-3 at Chimacum, the Wolves not only saw their four-year unbeaten streak end, but also fell out of first-place for the first time since joining the conference in 2014.

Coupeville (2-1 in league play, 4-7 overall) trails the Cowboys (3-1, 4-6) by half a game, while Klahowya (0-3, 1-9) sits mired in the cellar.

If things break right, though, this is all just a prelude to staging a winner-take-all bout May 3 on Whidbey in what would be the final Olympic League contest for any CHS sports team.

Coupeville is jumping to the new six-team North Sound Conference in the fall, but the Wolf netters still intend to make it four-for-four on league titles before they depart.

Here’s how it lays out:

Coupeville travels to Silverdale this Thursday, Apr. 26 to play a match-and-a-half against Klahowya.

The two squads will complete a rain-delayed match (it currently sits at 2-2 with three matches in flux), then play their regularly-scheduled bout.

Chimacum and Klahowya face off May 1, then the Cowboys come to Whidbey May 3 for the rubber match in their three-game season series with the Wolves.

If the Eagles keep on losing, both Coupeville and Chimacum would enter the finale bearing identical 4-1 records.

There are several other ways the Wolves could win the title, but we’ll just let the most exciting one — a battle royal for all the chips in front of Coupeville’s fans — sit out there as the most tantalizing opportunity.

While the end result wasn’t what he wanted, or intended, Coupeville coach Ken Stange found positives amid the wreckage.

“Zara (Bradley) and Jillian (Mayne) were on fire today!,” he said. “Down 4-0 in the first set, they won seven of the next eight to take the set. Then they dominated.

“Kameryn (St Onge) and Maggie (Crimmins) were solid,” Stange added. “Kam was a magician today.”

 

Complete Tuesday results:

Varsity:

1st Singles — Genna Wright lost to Gladys Hitt 6-1, 6-3

2nd Singles — Heather Nastali lost to Vilma Jurmu 6-0, 6-2

3rd Singles — Nanci Melendrez lost to Makaela Caskey 6-3, 6-1

1st Doubles — Payton Aparicio/Sage Renninger beat Renee Woods/Emma Craighead 6-2, 6-3

2nd Doubles — Claire Mietus/Tia Wurzrainer lost to Grace Yaley/Chloe Patterson 6-1, 6-2

3rd Doubles — Maggie Crimmins/Kameryn St Onge beat Marley Music/Christina Bell 7-5, 6-3

4th Doubles — Jillian Mayne/Zara Bradley beat Denisse Lopez/Madison Hess 7-5, 6-2

JV:

5th Doubles — Jaimee Masters/Emily Fiedler won 6-2

6th Doubles — Megan Behan/Elaira Nicolle lost 6-2
