The games will return.

Yes, today is the third consecutive day without a Coupeville team playing, as a rain-soaked spring break plays out.

But Friday, weather permitting, brings the return of Wolf softball, and Saturday is slated to see softball, baseball and soccer all take the field.

Until then, a smattering of photos, drawing from all the various spring sports, to remind you of what it looks like when athletes are actually in action.

Everyone is playing a part.

11 of the 12 players to see varsity action for Coupeville High School softball have already gotten a hit, and 12 of 12 have scored at least one run.

With contributions coming from every player in uniform, it’s not a huge surprise the Wolves are off to another hot start, this time sitting at 5-1.

As CHS preps for a busy weekend (it hosts Meridian Friday and Forks Saturday, with Saturday being a doubleheader), a look at season-to-date stats, as recorded on MaxPreps.

   With six goals in eight games, Wolf sophomore Aram Leyva has matched his total from his freshman season. (Photo by JohnsPhotos.net)

The offense has a little extra octane in it this year.

The Coupeville High School boys soccer squad passed the halfway point of the regular season Monday, and sits at 4-3-1 overall, 3-1 in Olympic League play.

After upcoming back-to-back non-conference tilts with Forks and Port Angeles, the Wolves close with five straight conference games, then hope to be playoff-bound.

If the goal-scoring stays at current levels, a postseason berth should be fairly easy to get.

With nine different players tallying at least one score, CHS has already rattled the net for 34 goals.

That figure tops last year’s season-ending totals and is already the fourth-best team mark in the last nine years.

Why am I using nine seasons for this comparison, you ask? Easy answer — that’s what the Olympic League site has archived.

So, looking at the Wolf boys from 2010 to this moment in time, here’s how things have played out.

2010 – 39 goals
2011 – 30
2012 – 27
2013 – 15
2014 – 22
2015 – 37
2016 – 48
2017 – 26
2018 – 34 and counting

When it comes to individual scoring, sophomore Derek Leyva, who transferred to Coupeville this year, is out in front and chasing the Wolf single-season records.

On the boys side, that mark belong to Derek’s cousin, Abraham Leyva, who punched in 20 in one campaign, while Mia Littlejohn owns the school record with 27.

Season totals:

Derek Leyva – 14
Aram Leyva – 6
Sam Wynn – 4
Pedro Gamarra – 3
William Nelson – 3
Chris Cernick – 1
Jonathan Partida – 1
Ethan Spark – 1
James Wood – 1

Forget black and white stripes, these refs are fashion forward in their thinking.

   But are they as ready to hit the runway as CHS assistant coach Luke Pelant? I think not.

   CHS football star Cameron Toomey-Stout, with hand raised, challenges Pelant to a Zoolander-style runway walk-off. Yes, I’m sure that’s what’s happening. Well, pretty sure. OK, maybe .05% sure… 

Back on the pitch, Sage Downes is busy sacrificing his noggin for his team.

It’s not going to get any easier.

The Coupeville High School boys soccer squad is off to a crisp start this year, but Monday marked the start of a four-game swing through the toughest part of the regular-season schedule.

And while the Wolves battled, they began their brush with their own murderer’s row by falling 3-1 to visiting Vashon Island.

The loss drops CHS to 4-3-1 on the season, while the Pirates climb to 6-1-2.

Next up for the Wolves is a home game Saturday against Forks, which is 6-0 and has outscored foes 32-1 this season.

Spartans goalie Gabriel Terrones opened the year with five straight shutout wins before surrendering a single, solitary score to Elma.

After that, Coupeville faces road rumbles with Port Angeles (6-2) and Klahowya (5-2-1).

Monday the Wolves got their lone goal from senior captain William Nelson.

It was his third tally of the season and the 34th goal Coupeville has notched.

With the game played under sunny skies, wanderin’ camera clicker John Fisken swung by Mickey Clark Field and spent some quality time plying his trade.

The pics seen above are courtesy him.
