They’re on a first-name basis with the back of the net.
When a new fall sports campaign kicks off in late August, Tamsin Ward and Sage Arends will lead a pack of Wolf booters hoping to add to their career totals.
Ward, who will be a sophomore, and Arends, part of the Class of 2027, are the active scoring leaders for Coupeville High School’s soccer programs.

But they’re not the only Wolves looking to continue their assault on the career goals chart, as there are 13 players with at least one tally to their credit who can take the field this fall.
The current generation is chasing Mia Littlejohn and the Leyva family, who sit atop the record books.
Littlejohn owns both the single-season and career marks for CHS female pitch powerhouses, with 27 and 35 respectively.
Meanwhile, Abraham Leyva’s 45 goals top all male Wolf scorers, while his cousin, Derek, notched 24 in one campaign, but lost his senior year (and a chance to shatter the career mark) to a pandemic.
Coupeville’s soccer programs launched in 2004, and my tally of goals is not 100% complete, as the Whidbey News-Times failed to report on multiple games in the early going.
But we’re rock-solid during the Coupeville Sports era (2012-today), and I’m absolutely confident in the names (and goal totals) at the top of the charts.
With that being said, my still-a-work-in-progress CHS soccer goal-scoring lists, with active players in bold:
