Having traveled to Everett Wednesday for its season-opener, the Coupeville High School boys’ tennis squad was beset by issues on all sides.

First, host Archbishop Thomas Murphy decided on a whim to play a different format than in years past, which forced Wolf tennis coach Ken Stange to juggle his lineup right before his players could take the courts. Then, the Wolves had to play ATM, with its roster full of imported stars.

Led by a former South Whidbey netter now sporting the colors of the private academy, ATM rolled to a 5-0 victory in the varsity match.

But, there will be a second chance.

“Next time we play them it will be at home, and I’ll be able to have my players play in their familiar spots,” Stange said. “I have to get Kyle (Bodamer) onto the singles court!”

Even in a whitewash loss, Stange came away happy with the effort put out by his singles players.

“One bright spot was Aaron Curtin’s match. They battled hard, both hitting shots in excess of 100 mph. It was a bit sloppy, but very exciting,” Stange said. “Sebastian (Davis) pushed hard at #2 singles. He should find some improvement as the season progresses.”

 

Varsity:

1st Singles — Aaron Curtin lost to Houston Schmutz  6-3, 6-3

2nd Singles — Sebastian Davis lost to Ryan Castillo 4-6, 6-1, 10-5

1st Doubles — Loren Nelson/Connor McCormick lost to Priever Pretorius/Sebastian Tank 6-1, 6-4

2nd Doubles — Grey Rische/Jared Helmstadter lost to Cole Brandt/Joe Damitio 6-1, 6-2

3rd Doubles — Kyle Bodamer/Joseph Wedekind lost to Payton Johnson/JT Burtsche 6-2, 6-4

The road to a 1A state title starts in Deming.

Now, of course, the Coupeville High School girls’ basketball team (8-10) still has two regular season games to play.

The Wolves host Granite Falls Friday, then travel to Everett to play King’s Saturday in their final league game as a member of the 1A/2A Cascade Conference.

But, with a district playoff berth stamped, CHS can also look ahead a bit at where and when they will play their postseason action.

With the bracket for District 1’s eight-team tourney finalized, Coupeville is locked in as the #2 seed out of the Cascade Conference, and #5 overall.

That means the Wolves will start the double-elimination tourney in Deming Tuesday, Feb. 11, facing off with the Northwest Conference’s #3 team, Mount Baker.

The Mountaineers are 10-9 and close out their regular season against Bellingham Friday.

Win Tuesday, and the Wolves would likely play Lynden Christian (16-3), the #1 overall seed, in the semifinals Thursday, Feb. 13. If they did, they would hit the road again, as the higher seed hosts.

If it loses, however, Coupeville’s second game could be at home. Barring a major upset, Meridian (4-15), the #8 seed, would travel to Whidbey Island for that game, also on Feb. 13.

The Wolves have already hosted, and beaten, the Trojans, bouncing them 46-34 way back on Dec. 7.

Depending on how the tourney plays out, Coupeville could also host a playoff game Friday, Feb. 14, but, most of all, just wants to be still playing Saturday, Feb. 15, when the district championship and third-place games tip-off at Mountlake Terrace High School.

The top four finishers all claim spots at tri-districts, which runs Feb. 18-22. After that are regionals and then the state tourney.

The district bracket:
