Rain was their only weakness.

Coupeville High School athletics pulled off a flawless week … if you ignore the contests washed away by the elements.

Put the Wolves on the field between Mar. 26-30 and they couldn’t be beat, going 6-0, with victories in all four spring sports which keep track of win-loss records.

Baseball and soccer won twice each, while tennis and softball knocked off their only foes. Making things even better, five of those six wins came against Olympic League foes.

The only thing keeping CHS from achieving pure nirvana was the elements, which washed away, at least temporarily, a softball game against Port Angeles, a tennis match against Olympic and a baseball game against Sultan.

With spring break kicking off, the schedule for the upcoming week is relatively light, with a few non-conference games scattered at the start and end of the week.

Current standings through Mar. 31:

Olympic League baseball:

School League Overall
COUPEVILLE 2-0 5-3
Chimacum 1-0 2-5
Klahowya 1-2 2-7
Port Townsend 0-2 0-5

Wolves chew up, spit out, Cowboys!!

Let’s agree not to sugarcoat things — Chimacum High School boys soccer is not in a great place right now.

When you’ve been outscored 55-0 in five games, your offense isn’t working and neither is your defense.

The latest team to tattoo them was Coupeville, which gave three players their first scoring opportunity of the season Friday, and ran as many JV players into action as possible.

And still romped to a 9-0 win.

The second-straight conference victory for the Wolves, it lifts them to 3-1 in Olympic League play, 4-2-1 overall.

It also pulls CHS within a half-game of league leader Klahowya (3-0), while Port Townsend (1-2) and Chimacum (0-4) bring up the rear.

The Wolves struck for eight of their nine goals in the first half and finished the game with six players in the scoring column.

Freshman Sam Wynn led the way, recording a hat trick to push his season scoring totals to four goals.

Aram Leyva added a pair of goals (he has four on the year), while cousin Derek Leyva settled for a single goal, his team-leading 14th.

Senior Ethan Spark notched his first goal of the season, with sophomores Chris Cernick and Jonathan Partida recording their first-ever varsity scores to round out the attack.

With some help from his defenders, Wolf goalie Dewitt Cole recorded the shutout.

CHS coach Kyle Nelson used the game somewhat as a training device, but with an eye also on clinching the win as quickly as possible.

“We were able to get quite a few JV players in,” he said. “Nice to get another league win.”

Things are about to get a lot tougher for Coupeville, as its next four foes, Vashon (5-2-1), Forks (6-0), Port Angeles (6-2) and Klahowya (5-2-1) are a combined 22-6-2.

First up is Vashon, which visits Whidbey Monday for a 4 PM non-conference game.

   Julian Welling was a force at the plate and in the field Friday, propelling Coupeville into sole possession of first-place in the Olympic League (Photo by JohnsPhotos.net)

Julian Welling was unstoppable.

A game after being beaned three times, the Coupeville High School senior first-baseman rebounded Friday to slay visiting Port Townsend with both his booming bat and his nimble feet and glove on defense.

Sparked by Welling, the Wolves overcame a viciously cold prairie wind and an umpire with a fairly creative strike zone to topple the pesky RedHawks 3-1.

The win, Coupeville’s third in the past four games, lifts them to 2-0 in Olympic League play, 5-3 overall.

It also gives them sole possession of first-place, a half-game up on Chimacum (1-0).

Defending champ Klahowya (1-2) and Port Townsend (0-2) hold down the bottom slots at the moment.

Friday’s game wasn’t totally what was expected, but a win is a win, especially one that keeps you as the top dog.

Port Townsend entered the day on a 46-game losing streak, dating back to Apr. 9, 2015, but it hung tough, scoring first and leading into the bottom of the third.

The RedHawks scraped out three hits on the afternoon and two of them came in the opening frame.

Toss in a walk and a Wolf dropping a fly ball while on the run, and the visitors exited the inning with a single, solitary run.

Which was kind of huge for Port Townsend, as it’s only the fifth one they’ve scored in as many games this season.

Meanwhile, Coupeville couldn’t get its own offense untracked, alternating between eking out some walks and putting the ball into the air, where it died a swift death in the merciless wind.

It wasn’t until the bottom of the third that the Wolves finally found a way to keep the ball on the ground, and it immediately paid dividends.

With Nick Etzell and Joey Lippo aboard on walks, CHS managed to move them into scoring possession with two outs, then caught a break when a wild pitch sent Etzell scrambling home with the tying run.

The hitter at the plate, one Mr. Welling, then broke his team’s hit-less streak, cranking an RBI single over the bag at third.

While Coupeville’s rally died promptly afterwards, the Wolves had an extra bit of pep in their step with a 2-1 lead, and they shut Port Townsend down the rest of the way.

After tossing three innings and striking out four, Dane Lucero gave way to relief ace Matt Hilborn, who buzzed through four fairly drama-free innings while matching his predecessor’s K-count.

He got a little help, though, with Jake Pease making a running catch in left, snagging the ball as it caressed the laces on top of his shoes.

Then there was Welling, who twice made sensational snags on potentially wayward throws at first, both times recovering to put a tag on the RedHawk runner trying to get by him.

The first one was a nice bang-bang play, while the second was pure artistry, as he had to make the play while down on his knees in the dirt.

“He made two great plays for us on defense, and, in a close ball game, that was huge,” said Coupeville coach Chris Smith.

Welling also tossed another run on the pile, stroking his second RBI single in the fifth.

His rocket back up the middle, which hit the grass hard, bit off a chunk and shot into center, plated Hunter Smith, who smashed a lead-off double to left-center after narrowly missing a home run a pitch before.

Coupeville finished with five hits, with Welling’s pair of singles and Smith’s double being joined by singles off of the bats of Kyle Rockwell and Hilborn.

While it was a bit of a step back after the Wolves had smashed pitching the past couple of games, it was enough to nab a win, and that was what Chris Smith was most interested in seeing.

“Our bats were a little flat today for whatever reason, and we had trouble finding the grass in the middle of the field for awhile,” he said with a small smile. “But we adapted, and did what we needed to do in the situation.

“It’s a nice thing to see that we can go out there and play and adjust to whatever the situation might be.”

Home is where the wins are!!

Their stadium, their day to shine.

The Coupeville High School track and field squad hosted a five-team home meet Wednesday, then tore up the joint, capturing nine wins and 32 PR’s.

The Wolf girls cruised to a team win, piling up 209 points to easily outdistance Klahowya, which tallied 167.

Mount Vernon Christian (99), Port Townsend (78) and Chimacum (39) rounded out the field.

On the boys side, it came down to the slimmest of margins, with MVC nipping Coupeville 169.5-167 to nab the team crown.

Klahowya (155) made it a three-team race, while Port Townsend (77) and Chimacum (34.5) brought up the rear.

The Wolf girls romped to a win in the 4 x 200 relay (Lindsey Roberts, Ashlie Shank, Mallory Kortuem, Maya Toomey-Stout), with Roberts (200), Lauren Bayne (high jump) and Mckenzie Meyer (pole vault) also landing atop the awards stand.

Coupeville’s boys triumphed in the 200 (Jacob Smith), 800 (Danny Conlisk), high jump (Chris Battaglia) and long jump (Jean Lund-Olsen).

Smith and Lund-Olsen teamed up with the Toomey-Stout boys, Cameron and Sean, to race to a victory in the 4 x 100.

Battaglia had himself a huge afternoon, also finishing second in all three throwing events (shot put, discus and javelin).

Coming off its auspicious showing, Coupeville won’t compete again for two weeks.

With spring break on the horizon, the Wolves next meet is Apr. 12, when they travel to Silverdale Stadium for an event hosted by Olympic High School.

While Wednesday’s meet was originally the only home meet listed on the schedule, CHS officials have confirmed they are pulling together a second one.

Friday Harbor and Lopez Island are now set to come to Coupeville Apr. 23 for a three-team meet.

The weather in Coupeville might not have been summer-like Wednesday, but, at the very least, it wasn’t raining.

That made life a bit easier on paparazzi John Fisken as he jumped from event to event, clicking away, as CHS hosted its first home track meet of the season.
