CMS boots boys soccer

A little less soccer this season.

Pitch fans will still be able to watch both Coupeville High School programs play, but the farm team is taking the fall off.

Athletic Director Willie Smith confirmed Monday that the Coupeville Middle School boys soccer season has been cancelled.

The decision was based on the program — which is currently without a coach — being unable to attract enough interested players.

CMS, which is returning to action after playing just intramurals last season due to Covid, will still field volleyball and cross country programs this fall.

Hit the line, snap the pics

New week, new opponent.

The high school football season rolls on, and Coupeville’s attention has already turned to East Jefferson, who the Wolves face this Friday in a game in Port Townsend.

But, while CHS game plans, we can take a moment to look back at the game just past, thanks to this collection of photos from John Fisken.

To see everything he shot at the Battle for The Bucket in Langley, pop over to:

Ponder pitch-perfect portraits

Crushing the South Whidbey Record without even trying.

Thanks to the recent plot development of wanderin’ photo whiz kid John Fisken snapping more pics of Falcon sports teams than usual, Coupeville Sports is fast becoming your primary source for looks at south end athletes in action.

This time around, it’s South Whidbey’s JV girls soccer team in action against Oak Harbor.

I don’t know names for most of the Falcon girls shown here, but I rarely, if ever, turn down free photos.

So, here you go.

And when you’re done here, consider popping over to Fisken’s web site and taking a look at everything he shot from the game.

“Onward to goal-scoring immortality!”

“I’ll just sneak right past you here. Pay no mind to me.”

“And where do you think you’re going, Mr. Soccer Ball?”

Kuschnereit uses her Jedi skills to make the ball hover above the pitch.

Hark! Standings are back

Katelin McCormick and Wolf girls soccer kick off their season this coming week.

Now, everyone starts to play.

The week ahead is the first to feature all five Coupeville High School fall sports teams in action, with girls soccer finally hitting the pitch.

Most of the action is in the latter stages of the week, with six of seven events going down between Thursday and Saturday.

Wolf volleyball is the only program to play in the first part of the week, with a home match Tuesday against Mount Vernon Christian, followed by a Thursday home clash with Orcas Island.

Girls soccer makes its debut Thursday at home against La Conner, then hits the road Saturday for a non-conference tilt with East Jefferson — the result of Chimacum and Port Townsend merging into one program for athletics.

Also seeing action is Wolf football — on the road Friday at East Jefferson — boys soccer and cross country.

The CHS booters host Orcas Island Friday, with the harriers traveling to Langley Saturday for the 42nd annual Carl Westling Invitational.

Lotta Falcons, couple Wolves

September 11, 2021 by David Svien

He who doesn’t take his own photos shouldn’t complain too loudly.

Keeping that in mind, we’re thankful as always when John Fisken allows the blog to use his photos, as he does here.

With Friday night’s Battle for The Bucket in Langley being the only time he plans to head South this season for football, the pics offered up here heavily feature the host Falcons over visiting Coupeville.

But, and it’s an important but, there are a ton more photos to peruse and possibly purchase on Fisken’s site, and there the Wolves hold their own.

To see what he shot, choose your favorite team and pop over to:

Falcon faithful, reading Coupeville Sports? More likely today than yesterday…

Ready to rock (and roll) on a Friday night.

A Wolf sighting, as Tim Ursu motors to daylight.

If I lived down South, I might know these ladies. I don’t, so I don’t, but they seem like pretty loyal fans.

I know one Falcon cheerleader, because Morgan Batchelor (back, center) is also a volleyball and basketball star.

Lucas Taksony catches some air (and the ball).

Our second Wolf sighting, as Mikey Robinett (45) brings down a wayward runner.
