Katrina McGranahan has pitched the Wolf softball squad to a 4-0 start.

Things are starting to develop.

Starting being the key word here.

There’s still plenty of season ahead for Coupeville’s spring sports teams, but the Wolves did make a jump, playing six league games in the past week, after just one before that.

Not counting track, with its multi-team meets, the four CHS teams are now 4-3 in Olympic League contests this spring.

That puts them hot on Klahowya’s trail (six wins) and ahead of Chimacum (3) and Port Townsend (2).

Year-to-date, Coupeville holds the lead, with 36 league wins across 10 sports (football, volleyball, baseball, softball, boys and girls tennis, soccer and basketball).

Klahowya, which has been the top school the first two years of the league’s existence (but slipped from 52 wins in year one to 45 last year), has 30 league wins as of Sunday.

Port Townsend (24) and Chimacum (16) are bringing up the rear.

With four league titles still at stake this spring, Coupeville currently holds a 3-1 lead on Port Townsend and Klahowya, having won girls basketball, volleyball and boys tennis titles in 2016-2017.

The RedHawks claimed boys basketball while the Eagles nabbed girls soccer.

Football went to Cascade Christian, which won the inaugural title in a new mash-up of the Olympic and Nisqually Leagues.

Klahowya won five titles in 2014-2015, then Coupeville replaced them at the top of the mountain with four championship banners won in 2015-2016.

The two schools are tied 9-9 on team titles all-time coming into spring of year #3 in the Olympic League.

How will things play out?

Stay tuned, as Coupeville still has 26 of 33 league games (79%) left to play, with all four teams having six or seven contests still ahead on their schedules.

For the moment, this is where things stand, through Sunday:

Olympic League softball:

School League Overall
COUPEVILLE 2-0 4-0
Chimacum 2-0 3-1
Klahowya 0-2 1-3
Port Townsend 0-2 0-3

And we’re underway. Sort of.

A damp, chilly spring has hijacked numerous games in the early going, so there’s some disparity between who has and hasn’t clashed with league foes yet.

Across the four sports which keep track of records — softball, baseball, soccer and tennis — Coupeville has only played one Olympic League contest, a soccer game against Chimacum which it won.

Meanwhile, Klahowya and Port Townsend have played four league games and Chimacum has already racked up seven.

With a schedule heavy on non-conference bouts, Coupeville is sitting above .500 overall, with a record of 7-6-1 across the four sports.

That’s not bad, considering six of those contests (2-3-1) have been against bigger 2A schools. When pitted against other 1A schools, CHS is 5-3 this spring.

Standings through Sunday:

Olympic League softball:

School League Overall
Chimacum 2-0 3-1
COUPEVILLE 0-0 2-0
Klahowya 0-1 1-2
Port Townsend 0-1 0-2

Olympic League baseball:

School League Overall
Klahowya 1-0 1-2
Chimacum 1-1 2-2
COUPEVILLE 0-0 3-2
Port Townsend 0-1 0-1

Olympic League boys soccer:

School League Overall
Klahowya 2-0 3-1
COUPEVILLE 1-0 2-2-1
Port Townsend 1-1 2-2
Chimacum 0-3 0-5

   Wolf football has tripled its win total from last year, but faces a big hurdle in its season finale.

We’re headed for a split decision.

With only one more league game on the schedule for the four members of the 1A Olympic League, Coupeville will exit the fall with the most conference titles, while Klahowya is very likely to earn the most varsity wins.

The Wolves captured volleyball and boys tennis crowns, while the Eagles ran away with the girls soccer championship.

Football’s title is going to an outsider, as Cascade Christian clinched the title with a 42-0 drubbing of Port Townsend Saturday.

The Olympic League is in the first year of a two-year plan in which it joins with the Nisqually League for gridiron action and one team is crowned the king.

Klahowya edged ahead of Coupeville 21-20 for the most varsity wins this fall, while Port Townsend (7) and Chimacum (5) are far behind.

That lead is likely to stand, barring one final Friday Night Lights miracle.

The Eagles are favored to beat Bellevue Christian in their football finale, while Coupeville is a huge underdog to undefeated and state-ranked Cascade Christian.

Bad weather at the tail end of the season denied the Olympic League’s top two schools chances to pad their win totals.

Coupeville lost out on two boys tennis matches, while Klahowya played one less soccer game than expected.

Since both those squads were undefeated in league play, it’s fair to believe we’d be looking at a 22-22 tie right now if those games had been played.

The standings with one week of regular season football left to play:

Olympic/Nisqually League football:

School League Overall
Cascade Christian 6-0 9-0
Port Townsend 5-1 6-3
Charles Wright 4-2 5-4
Klahowya 4-2 6-3
COUPEVILLE 2-4 3-6
Bellevue Christian 2-4 2-7
Vashon Island 1-5 1-8
Chimacum 0-6 1-8

Olympic League volleyball:

School League Overall
COUPEVILLE 8-1 11-4
Klahowya 6-3 7-7
Chimacum 4-5 7-9
Port Townsend 0-9 2-13

Olympic League girls soccer:

School League Overall
Klahowya 8-0 11-1-2
COUPEVILLE 6-3 8-7-1
Port Townsend 2-7 3-11-1
Chimacum 1-7 2-8-1

Olympic League boys tennis:

Inch by inch, sport by sport, Coupeville is taking the 1A Olympic League away from Klahowya.

When things started in the fall of 2014, the Eagles, who have the largest student body of the four league schools by a fair margin, were dominant.

Klahowya won titles in three of four fall sports (volleyball, boys tennis, girls soccer) in that first go-round, with Port Townsend claiming the football crown.

Jump forward a year and Coupeville, which sits at 227 students to Klahowya’s 445, took away the boys tennis title. The other three fall sports saw repeat winners.

Now skip forward to season #3 and the Wolves have held on to boys tennis and snatched volleyball away from the Eagles.

Klahowya just three-peated in girls soccer, but that’s it for the fall, as the football title is going to come down to next week’s clash between Port Townsend and Cascade Christian.

With the Nisqually and Olympic League joining together for gridiron action this year, there’s a (super) solid shot the pigskin kingpin will hail from the other league.

So, that means in three falls, Klahowya’s titles have gone from three to two to one, while Coupeville has gone from zero to one to two — the small tugboat chugging past the flailing ocean liner.

Overall, the Eagles, who led the title chase 5-2 after the 2014-2015 school year, are now barely hanging on to a 9-8 advantage in league championships won heading into basketball season, where the Wolf girls are two-time defending champs.

Chimacum has four titles (two each in boys basketball and softball) while Port Townsend, the second-largest league school, has just two football crowns and will need a colossal upset to earn #3 this coming Saturday.

With tennis done playing league matches, and the other three sports days away from heading to the postseason, Coupeville and Klahowya are tied with 16 varsity wins across the four fall sports.

Port Townsend has seven and Chimacum four.

Rain cost Coupeville the chance to be sitting alone at the top in the victory race. The final two league tennis matches were cancelled and not rescheduled, as the Wolves (4-0) had already clinched the title.

CHS has six more league games (1 soccer, 2 football, 3 volleyball) left to build their fall win total, while Klahowya has seven (2 soccer, 2 FB, 2 VB).

Standings through Sunday:

Olympic/Nisqually League football:

School League Overall
Cascade Christian 5-0 8-0
Port Townsend 5-0 6-2
Charles Wright 3-2 4-4
Klahowya 3-2 5-3
Bellevue Christian 2-3 2-6
COUPEVILLE 1-4 2-6
Vashon Island 1-4 1-7
Chimacum 0-5 1-7

Klahowya 7-0 10-1-2

   Wolves (l to r) Emma Smith, Allison Wenzel and Sarah Wright celebrate a big point.

It’s in their hands.

Sweep its matches this week and the Coupeville High School volleyball squad clinches its first league title since 2001.

The Wolves, who sit atop the 1A Olympic League at 4-0, host Klahowya Tuesday (4 PM varsity/5:15 JV and C-Team), then hop across the water to face Port Townsend Thursday.

Win both and they’ll be 6-0, which would put them three games up on both Chimacum and two-time defending league champ Klahowya with three matches to play.

Since they would then finish no worse than a tie with either rival, and would own the tiebreaker over both schools, the command would go out — order a new title board for the CHS Wall of Fame.

Coupeville’s two previous league titles in volleyball came in 1997 and ’01, when the Wolves played in the Northwest Conference.

While nothing is set in stone yet, CHS volleyball reaching for the crown is the highlight of this week’s look at the current league standings in the four fall sports the Wolves compete in.

Rain-outs stung the Wolf netters, as matches against Klahowya and Chimacum were washed away.

With Coupeville having already clinched the title, neither bout will be rescheduled, which costs CHS a chance to add to its overall collection of league wins.

Picking up a win in soccer, Klahowya moved up into a tie with Coupeville, with 13 varsity wins across the fall sports.

Port Townsend (5) and Chimacum (3) are well back.

Those numbers will change tonight, as two football games which were knocked out Friday by the closing of the Hood Canal Bridge (Klahowya at Port Townsend and Chimacum at Vashon Island) will be played.

Standings through Monday morning:

Olympic/Nisqually League football:

School League Overall
Cascade Christian 4-0 7-0
Port Townsend 3-0 4-2
Klahowya 2-1 4-2
Bellevue Christian 2-2 2-5
Charles Wright 2-2 3-4
COUPEVILLE 1-3 2-5
Chimacum 0-3 1-5
Vashon Island 0-3 0-6

COUPEVILLE 4-0 7-3
Klahowya 3-2 4-5
Chimacum 3-3 6-6
Port Townsend 0-5 2-8
