Sage Downes: just give him the ball. (Pat Kelley photos)

"Onward to victory!!"

“Onward to victory!!”

"You dare to think you can beat us? Fool!!!"

“You dare to think you can beat us? Fool!!!”

Sage Downes plays a simple game.

Kick the soccer ball into the back of the net. Win the game. Go about the rest of his day.

The Coupeville Elementary School student was back at it Saturday, popping for four goals over two games, as Central Whidbey’s Ciao boys’ soccer squads split a pair with booters from South Whidbey.

After falling 8-6 in the opener, Ciao rebounded for a 6-5 win in the second game.

Six different players tallied goals for Ciao, with Downes being backed by Matthew Kelley (3), Alex Jimenez (2) Aram Leyva (1) Jean Lund-Olsen (1) and James Wood (1).

Sage Downes (Pat Kelley photo)

Sage Downes could even score while he’s kneeling … if he wanted to. (Pat Kelley photo)

There is no way on Earth to stop Sage Downes.

When the goal-scoring machine gets rollin’, the only answer is to pray he’s merciful and lets you escape back to the sideline with a bit of dignity left.

Which he kinda, sorta, didn’t do Saturday, raining down an astonishing eight goals in two games, as Central Whidbey’s Ciao boys’ soccer squads demolished Oak Harbor.

Downes hit for three scores in the opener, as Ciao Orange rolled to a 9-3 win, then topped himself with a five-goal barrage in the second game. Ciao Black won that contest 8-4.

He wasn’t the only one with a hot toe, as eight of the 16 players in a Ciao uniform found the back of the net.

Aram Leyva, following in the footsteps of older brother Abraham, who leads Coupeville High School’s boys’ soccer squad in goals, punched in three.

Six others (Alex Jimenez, Eli Kastner, Matt Kelley, Michael Laska, Jean Lund-Olsen and James Wood) netted a goal apiece.

Ciao is 3-0 on the season and returns to action Saturday, April 26 at Oak Harbor’s U12 Field 1.

soccer7soccer6soccer2soccer9soccer5soccer8Soccer? It’s the sport that doesn’t stop for bad weather.

A few sprinkles and tennis flees the courts. Get the infield damp and baseball and softball go home.

But anything less than a full lightning storm two feet off the field and soccer plays right through.

It’s a lesson the youngest generation of booters learned as they came out in the wind and rain this week to start practicing for the spring season with the Central Whidbey Soccer Club.

On hand to capture the moment and clicking away through the rain drops was Pat Kelley, who provided the photos above.

"Gotta be free!!"

“Gotta be free!!”

And one for the Christmas card to Gramma...

And one for the Christmas card to Gramma…

It’s all about the photo.

You can run 2,000 words on their progeny and parents will be like, “nice…,” then you run one photo and they run around in circles, screaming like they’ve gone mad.

So, being reasonably smart, I give you not one, but three youth soccer photos from Wendy McCormick.

Some of the girls featured may one day make the jump from these fields to wearing the red and black for Coupeville High School. Some won’t.

But, at this moment, they all got their picture on Coupeville Sports. So, that’s something.

Cue the running and the screaming and the hootin’ and the hollerin’ from the parents in three, two, one…
