Fab frosh Lucy Tenore and Coupeville volleyball are a shiny 1-0 on the season.

Now we’re rolling.

With the first full week of fall sports activity in the books, every Coupeville High School team has been in action.

The Wolf boys tennis squad was the first to face off with a league opponent, while CHS volleyball sits as the school’s only remaining undefeated team.

The week ahead is full of more action, most of it on the road.

Tennis and soccer are the busiest teams (with the net crew keeping an eye on the rain clouds), with three games apiece.

The booters have back-to-back league games on the road Tuesday at King’s and Thursday at Sultan, then host non-conference foe Kingston Saturday afternoon.

Meanwhile tennis travels to University Prep Monday and The Bush School Wednesday, then stays home Friday to face Overlake.

All three matches are Emerald City League clashes.

Wolf volleyball has a pair of non-league matches, heading to Anacortes Tuesday before hosting Chimacum Saturday, while CHS football travels Friday to play non-league rival Friday Harbor.

As we prepare for the week ahead, a look at where we are so far:

 

North Sound Conference volleyball:

School League Overall
Coupeville 0-0 1-0
CPC-Bothell 0-0 4-0
Granite Falls 0-0 1-1

Nipped at the net

On the court, it was a tie.

Playing tough against a high-quality private school Friday, the Coupeville High School boys tennis squad split two of the four contested matches.

The difference in a 3-2 loss to visiting Eastside Prep was #2 singles, where the Wolves had to forfeit for a second-straight match while waiting for an eighth player to get enough practices in to be eligible.

While the loss drops Coupeville to 0-2 in Emerald City League play, there were positives to be found.

The Wolves picked up their wins at #1 and #2 doubles, with top duo James Wood and Mason Grove winning for the first time, while Zach Ginnings and Andrew Aparicio improved to 2-0 on the still-young season.

“Mason and James played a really good team, but our guys stayed calm,” said CHS coach Ken Stange. “They didn’t hit hard all the time. I was impressed with their outing.

“Zach and Andrew played a pretty good team as well,” he added. “They are relentless. Even when they’ve gotten down in a set, they bounce back. They have a good balance between them.”

While Coupeville dropped #3 doubles and #1 singles, both matches featured stellar shot-making.

“Koby (Schreiber) and Thane (Peterson) got closer today,” Stange said. “They kept fighting and nearly won the second set.

“Drake (Borden) ran into a ninth grader that knocks the fuzz off the ball,” he added. “Drake played well, but the EP kid is a seasoned tournament player.”

 

Complete Friday results:

1st Singles — Drake Borden lost to Amar Kumar 6-1, 6-2

2nd Singles — CHS forfeits

1st Doubles — James Wood/Mason Grove beat Steven Pei/Max Goetzman 6-2, 6-4

2nd Doubles — Zach Ginnings/Andrew Aparicio beat Chase Crain/Drew Goetzman 6-2, 6-3

3rd Doubles — Thane Peterson/Koby Schreiber lost to Zubin Oommen/Albert Chen 6-2, 6-4

The rackets have been unleashed.

With Wednesday’s match-up against South Whidbey in the books, the Coupeville High School boys tennis team is officially off and running.

Helping document the start of a new season was John Fisken, who wandered down from the north to pop off some court-side shots.

Falcons nip Wolves in tennis tussle

The Wolf net crew is (back, left to right) Ken Stange, Aparicio, Mason Grove, Koby Schreiber, Drake Borden. Front: Miles Davidson, James Wood, Thane Peterson, Zach Ginnings. Not seen: Logan Martin.

And we’re off.

The Coupeville High School boys tennis team launched the 2019 season Wednesday with a home rumble with South Whidbey, the first of three matches in three days.

While the weather cooperated on opening day, the tennis gods didn’t, however, allowing the Falcons to escape with a 4-1 win in Emerald City League play.

Barring weather shenanigans, the Wolves head to Friday Harbor Thursday, then host Eastside Prep the next afternoon.

At least in the early going, CHS will have to overcome a self-inflicted deficit in each match, as it doesn’t yet have eight fully-eligible players.

For now, that means the Wolves forfeit #2 singles, though that will change as soon as two newcomers — sophomores Miles Davidson and Logan Martin — rack up enough practices.

Coupeville’s seven active players came within a shot or two of splitting the four matches contested Wednesday against their next door neighbors.

Andrew Aparicio and Zach Ginnings controlled the net as they swept to a win at #2 doubles, while the top Wolf duo of Mason Grove and James Wood fell just short in a third-set tiebreaker.

 

Complete Wednesday results:

1st Singles — Drake Borden lost to Levi Buck 6-1, 6-4

2nd Singles — CHS forfeits

1st Doubles — James Wood/Mason Grove lost to Ranger Buck/Max Rodriguez 3-6, 6-4, 10-6

2nd Doubles — Zach Ginnings/Andrew Aparicio beat Ian Maddux/Ben Roughsedge 6-4, 6-3

3rd Doubles — Thane Peterson/Koby Schreiber lost to Emmett Layman/Jordan Wu 6-2, 6-2

Standings? We’re talking about standings??

“He’s printing league standings after two days of competition. No, seriously, that guy right over there…” (Photo by JohnsPhotos.net)

We might be jumping the gun a bit here.

The new high school fall sports season has been active for all of two days, and here we are, running our first look at league standings.

Only one of the five sports Coupeville competes in — football — had a full slate of games Friday, while soccer saw two of the six North Sound Conference teams kick off things Saturday afternoon.

But what the heck.

This is the internet and space is infinite, so it’s not like running a standings article is keeping something else from seeing the light of day.

So, as we prepare for the first full week of activity, here’s a look at how the first couple of games went.

Just in case you’re wondering, Coupeville soccer fell 3-1 to powerhouse Meridian, while the King’s booters were blanked 2-0 by Lakeside in a battle of programs which both advanced to the state tourney last season.

In gridiron action, it went down like this:

Port Townsend 49
Coupeville 16

South Whidbey 7
Friday Harbor 3

Lakewood 42
King’s 14

Sultan 35
Vashon Island 6

Shorewood 42
Granite Falls 14

Cedar Park Christian 62
Concrete 22

 

And our first look at numbers on a board:

 

North Sound Conference volleyball:

School League Overall
Coupeville 0-0 0-0
CPC-Bothell 0-0 0-0
Granite Falls 0-0 0-0
King’s 0-0 0-0
South Whidbey 0-0 0-0
Sultan 0-0 0-0

 

North Sound Conference football:

School League Overall
Coupeville 0-0 0-1
CPC-Bothell 0-0 1-0
Granite Falls 0-0 0-1
King’s 0-0 0-1
South Whidbey 0-0 1-0
Sultan 0-0 1-0
