“Why is Stange dancing over there?!?!”
“No livin’ on a school bus for this guy! No McDonald’s twice a week! Wahoo!!”
“Wait … track has to go to Sultan … TWICE?!?!”
So who did Ken Stange pay off?
I kid. I kid. But, seriously, who did he pay off, because the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis team is rarely going to see the inside of a school bus this season.
Want to enjoy the thrill of playing in front of your home fans? Be a netter, because they’re scheduled to play an astonishing 10 of their 14 matches on the courts at CHS.
With one of their four road trips just a short jaunt to Langley, and another a hop across the ferry to play Chimacum in Port Townsend, Stange will laugh and laugh when other coaches talk about epic trips to the wilds of Sultan.
Having wrested the semi-mostly-kinda-finished spring sports schedules from Wolf scheduling maestro Kim Andrews (who didn’t give them up easily), I was able to quickly look at them and pick up little tidbits of interest. All while fending off Andrews, who kept on screaming “The ink hasn’t even dried yet, you heathen!!”
Of note, after a basketball season in which Coupeville spent a LARGE chunk of time on the road, is a return to balanced scheduling.
Well, except for track, which never gets to host more than one meet in a season. Randy King will have plenty of Sultan stories, as his squad visits that town twice.
Softball and boys’ soccer have balanced schedules, while baseball hosts 11 of its 20 games.
The record for traveling, however, won’t go to the track squad. Instead, that honor falls to Wolf golfers Austin and Christine Fields, who will trek to Langley every single day. With Coupeville not having its own links squad, the Fields will train and travel with South Whidbey, while still repping the black and red of their home school.
Schedules:
P.S. — check http://coupeville.tandemcal.com/ for updates, because as Andrews will tell you, “Nothing is written in permanent ink, buddy!!!”
