Jakobi Baumann and the CHS netters are league champs in 2016.

It’s a two-team race.

There are four schools in the 1A Olympic League, but this fall there has been a pretty wide chasm ripped right down the middle.

When you look at the four sports in which Coupeville competes against Port Townsend, Chimacum and Klahowya, it’s all Wolves and Eagles and very little Cowboys or RedHawks.

As it sits now, Coupeville has 13 league wins across volleyball, tennis, soccer and football, with Klahowya right behind at 11.

Port Townsend, which hasn’t won a league volleyball match and only has a handful of tennis players who compete with Chimacum, has four victories.

If it weren’t for football (where Berkley Hill has run his way to claiming the RedHawks three wins), PT would be firmly wedged in the cellar alongside the Cowboys.

Chimacum has yet to win a football game or a soccer or tennis match this fall, with the Cowboys lone W coming on the volleyball court.

The biggest news of the week came when the first of four fall titles was claimed, with Coupeville clinching its second straight boys’ tennis crown.

The battle for the other three titles, and the overall lead in varsity league wins, will intensify in the coming weeks, as the focus turns firmly to conference bouts.

Football teams have four league games left, while volleyball has five and each soccer squad still needs to play four to five games.

There are just two tennis league tilts still on the schedule, with Chimacum facing off against Coupeville and Klahowya each once more.

Unless it rains.

With the title already decided, and the league tourney fast approaching, officials decided not to reschedule any rain-outs (such as the one Oct. 6 when Coupeville was scheduled to play at Klahowya).

Hope and Katrina

It was a very good week.

In the last six days, Coupeville High School vaulted into sole possession of first-place for volleyball, solidified its top spot in boys tennis and moved closer to the top in both football and girls soccer.

While it’s still way early in the 2016-2017 school year, CHS currently tops its three 1A Olympic League rivals in total conference wins, edging Klahowya 10-7 across the four fall sports.

Port Townsend has three league victories so far, while Chimacum has a single one from volleyball to its credit.

Klahowya, whose vast student body dwarfs the rest of the league, has had the most league wins in the first two years of competition.

That number came down from year one to year two, though, a trend which seems to be continuing.

In 2014-2015, the Eagles won 52 league games (and five titles) across 10 sports, while Coupeville won 40 (and two).

In year two, Klahowya’s margin shrunk to 45-42, and the Wolves captured four league titles to Klahowya’s three.

Where everybody stands as of Monday morning:

Olympic/Nisqually League football:

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

Olympic League volleyball:

School League Overall
COUPEVILLE 3-0 5-2
Klahowya 2-1 3-3
Chimacum 1-2 3-4
Port Townsend 0-3 1-6

Olympic League girls soccer:

The same with Kalia Littlejohn and the red-hot CHS booters.

Time to make some history.

Tuesday could be a landmark day in Coupeville High School’s two-year-plus run in the 1A Olympic League.

Both the Wolf volleyball and girls’ soccer squads travel to Silverdale for first-place showdowns with the beast of the league, Klahowya.

Win and Coupeville makes a huge statement, claims sole possession of the top slot and breaks an undefeated run.

The Eagle spikers and booters, both 2-0 this season, have each gone 14-0 in league competition since the four-team conference began in 2014.

That puts them second only to Coupeville girls’ basketball, which is 18-0 through the first two winters of play.

Between them, the two schools boast five teams unbeaten in league play, with Klahowya boys’ soccer (12-0) and Coupeville girls’ tennis (11-0) safe at least until the spring.

The Wolves are entering Tuesday’s tilts with the strongest teams each program has boasted since jumping ship from the 1A/2A Cascade Conference.

The booters, who have one of the the state’s two leading scorers in Mia Littlejohn (16 goals in six games), have won three straight and four of their last five.

Coupeville’s spikers, meanwhile, are coming off of a huge win over 2A North Mason and are hitting the road for the first time ever under new head coach Cory Whitmore.

Where all four of the CHS varsity squads sit heading into Tuesday’s bouts:

Football:

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

Volleyball:

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

Girls Soccer:

School League Overall
COUPEVILLE 2-0 4-1-1
Klahowya 2-0 4-0-1
Port Townsend 1-2 1-5-0
Chimacum 0-3 1-4-0

First place, all the way.

That’s exactly where every single fall sports team from Coupeville High School finds itself Monday afternoon.

Either in sole possession (soccer, tennis) or tied (volleyball, football) for the top of the 1A Olympic League standings.

Now, take a deep breath and accept a (big) caveat.

Football is technically in an eight-team tie for first, as none of the Olympic or Nisqually League teams, which have joined together for at least two years of gridiron action, have actually played a league game.

The first three weeks (when Coupeville went 1-2) were all non-conference tilts, while the next seven are the ones which really matter.

Things kickoff this Friday, when the Wolves travel to Tacoma to face Charles Wright Academy (1-2) for their league opener.

But, across the other three sports, Coupeville is a flawless 4-0, with a tennis win over Klahowya, a volleyball dismantling of Chimacum and a pair of soccer victories over Chimacum and Port Townsend.

Only time will tell where the Wolves finish fall, or whether they can match or top last year’s performance.

Of Coupeville’s six league titles in the first two years of Olympic League play, three have come in the spring, two in the winter and just one in the fall.

That banner came courtesy last year’s boys’ tennis team.

With 27 of 31 league games still left to play this fall (eight for volleyball, seven apiece for football and soccer and five for tennis), it’s way too early for predictions.

But it is a nice start.

Football:

School League Overall
Coupeville 0-0 1-2
Bellevue Christian 0-0 0-3
Cascade Christian 0-0 3-0
Charles Wright 0-0 1-2
Chimacum 0-0 1-2
Klahowya 0-0 2-1
Port Townsend 0-0 1-2
Vashon Island 0-0 0-3

Volleyball:

School League Overall
Coupeville 1-0 2-1
Klahowya 1-0 2-0
Chimacum 0-1 1-2
Port Townsend 0-1 1-2

Girls Soccer:

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

Boys Tennis:

School League Overall
Coupeville 1-0 1-4
Chimacum 0-0 0-3
Klahowya 0-1 0-4
