Welcome back to full tilt action.

Fall high school sports are fully engaged at this point, with everyone starting to work their way through the early schedule.

Four of six events this coming week are at home for Coupeville, providing local fans a chance to see the Wolves up close and personal.

Co-ed soccer leads the way, with home games against Friday Harbor and Grace Academy Tuesday and Saturday, respectively.

While those are against league foes, both early-season tilts are considered non-conference affairs, just to keep things confusing.

Joining the booters at home are Wolf football, which welcomes Granite Falls to Cow Town Saturday, and volleyball, which travels to Friday Harbor Tuesday before hosting Mount Vernon Christian Thursday.

Finally, CHS cross country hits the trails down in Langley Saturday for the 45th annual Carl Westling Invitational.

Where things sit as we hit the mid-point of September:

This is the last one.

With the postseason fully upon us, today marks the final standings story for the 2023-2024 school athletic year.

Here’s to a year of arguing with the Northwest 2B/1B League’s web site when I disagreed with something it had recorded wrongly.

Games against Granite Falls, Sultan, or Blaine are NOT league games, and jamborees don’t count in the win/loss records, and you can’t count the same game twice and…

Just let it go, David, and move on. You can go back to arguing with an inanimate object in September.

The number of contests goes down, while the importance of those contests goes up.

As we head into the first full week of May, all four Coupeville High School spring sports teams are in action, with the final regular season rumbles mixing with postseason play.

Wolf softball hosts South Whidbey Friday, while the CHS netters travel to Granite Falls Monday and Friday Harbor on Friday, and that’s a wrap for non-playoff games.

Meanwhile, both track and baseball attend district-level events Saturday, with the former at home and the latter on the road at Lakewood.

Qualifying for state will be the primary focus for the Wolves, with softball and tennis making their own bids for further glory the following week.

Where win/loss records sit through May 5:

 

Northwest League baseball:

School League Overall
Orcas Island 10-2 14-5
Coupeville 9-2 10-8
MV Christian 8-3 13-6
Friday Harbor 5-6 5-11
La Conner 5-7 9-8
Darrington 1-9 1-10
Concrete 1-10 2-11

 

Northwest League girls’ tennis:

School League Overall
Friday Harbor 2-0 2-1
Coupeville 0-2 0-5

“Onward to May!” (Photos by JohnsPhotos.net)

As that old-school warbler Justin Timberlake sort of once sang, “Soon it’s going to be May.”

The final month of the school athletic year is almost upon us, which means the regular season grows short for spring athletes.

Postseason efforts, and the chance to win state tourney glory, will arrive before you know it.

In fact, one Coupeville High School program — track and field — officially gets playoff fever next week.

The Wolves begin the postseason trek next Wednesday, May 1, when they travel to Mount Vernon for the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships.

After that comes districts and state, but both down the road in May.

Still plenty of work to do for Wolf athletes.

Meanwhile, Coupeville’s other three spring teams continue to plow through regular season contests.

Baseball and softball both travel to La Conner May 2, with the latter of those squads hosting Nooksack Valley the day after for a non-conference tilt.

Girls’ tennis has the week off — from competition with other schools at least — but still has two more matches left to play after that before beginning its own postseason efforts.

As one month fades out and another looms on the horizon, a look at win/loss records through April 28:

 

Northwest League baseball:

School League Overall
Coupeville 8-2 9-8
Orcas Island 7-2 10-5
MV Christian 6-3 9-6
Friday Harbor 5-4 5-8
La Conner 4-5 8-6
Concrete 1-8 2-8
Darrington 1-8 1-8

 

Northwest League girls’ tennis:

School League Overall
Friday Harbor 2-0 2-0
Coupeville 0-2 0-5

 

Northwest League softball:

School League Overall
Coupeville 8-0 11-4
Friday Harbor 6-2 6-5
Darrington 5-3 6-4
La Conner 2-5 2-10
Orcas Island 2-5 3-9
Concrete 0-8 0-12

The stretch run comes at home. Mostly.

After a week where 99% of games were on the road, Coupeville High School spring sports teams get six home clashes this coming week.

Both softball and baseball travel to Darrington Monday, then are camped on their own diamonds after that.

Orcas Island is slated to travel to Coupeville Tuesday, with Concrete arriving Thursday, and Darrington swinging by for a rematch Saturday.

The final one of those home games will be Senior Night for Wolf baseball.

The CHS softball sluggers? They have no 12th graders on their roster this season.

Meanwhile, girls’ tennis continues its season-long road trip while waiting for new courts to be finished, with treks to The Bush School in Seattle Wednesday and to Friday Harbor on Friday.

Wrapping things up, Coupeville track and field has its final two regular season meets, with both coming off-Island.

The Wolves travel to Lynden Thursday and Lakewood Saturday, then make the turn to the postseason after that.

As we head into what should be a busy week, a look at where things stand as of April 21 among sports which count wins and losses.
