Tourney time for spikers

Two days, three locations, six teams, two tickets to the state championships.

The District 1/2 volleyball tournament kicks off Thursday night in Coupeville and Auburn, then wraps up Saturday at La Conner.

The first night features three schools playing at each location, with a loser-out match followed by the winner of that rumble squaring off with a #1 seed.

In Coupeville, that means Forest Ridge and La Conner clash at 3:30 PM, while the top-seeded Wolves meet the survivor at 5:30ish.

Win or lose Thursday, CHS advances to Saturday, ultimately needing two wins total at bi-districts to earn a return trip to the 2B state tourney, set for Nov. 13-14 at the Yakima SunDome.

Cory Whitmore lays out the game plan to the Wolves.

 

You can see the bi-district bracket here:

Students w/ASB — $6
Children (ages 6-12) and Senior Citizens — $6

The season is done, but photos continue to show up.

Various paparazzi covered the games played by the co-ed Coupeville High School soccer squads, and their cameras continue to spit out digital images long after the final shot on goal was registered.

The pics above and below come to us courtesy John Fisken.

To see everything he shot this season (we think), pop over to:

You can help Chayse chase his pitch dream.

Coupeville Middle School 8th grader Chayse Van Velkinburgh has been picking up plenty of overseas soccer experience in the past couple of years, and he has an opportunity for much more.

The fleet-footed booter’s family has launched a GoFundMe to allow his supporters to help him raise the money necessary for a three-month full-time residency at the prestigious Madrid Euro Soccer Academy in Spain.

Cost is $13,300 and the fundraiser is 9% fulfilled in a little under 24 hours.
