Our long national nightmare is over.

Well, one of them, at least.

It took longer than normal, but results have finally surfaced from Wednesday’s four-team track meet at North Mason, and the word was good for athletes wearing the red and black of Coupeville High School.

Despite facing a pair of large 2A schools (Olympic and the meet hosts), along with 1A rival Port Townsend, the Wolves claimed second-place in the girls team standings.

Finishing with 59 points, the CHS women finished hot on the heels of Olympic (61), while North Mason (36) and PT (25) brought up the rear.

On the boys side Olympic (59) ran away with the win, followed by North Mason (53), Coupeville (30) and PT (18).

The Wolves captured nine individual wins on the day, with Lauren Bayne (high jump), Catherine Lhamon (1600), Lindsey Roberts (200), and Mallory Kortuem (400) winning varsity contests for the girls.

Ja’Tarya Hoskins also claimed a win in the 200 JV race.

On the boys side, Chris Battaglia (javelin), Danny Conlisk (400), Ryan Labrador (shot put) and Jacob Smith (200) climbed to the top of the varsity podium.

Every batter counts!!

Production from the top of the order to the bottom.

That’s what Coupeville High School softball coach Kevin McGranahan is looking for, and his wish came true Friday afternoon.

Ignoring the iffy weather, the Wolves got a big-time spark from their #8 and #9 hitters, then rolled to a 7-3 win over visiting North Mason.

The non-conference victory, coming against a big 2A school, lifts CHS to 2-0 on the season.

The Wolves make an immediate turnaround, heading out Saturday morning for the long trip to Vashon Island.

They’ll do so still beaming over the play of freshman Coral Caveness and sophomore Emma Mathusek.

Mired in a scoreless game heading into the bottom of the third inning, Coupeville needed something.

A spark, as it were.

It came courtesy Caveness, who reached on an error while leading off, and Mathusek, who followed her by eking out a crucial walk.

With runners finally on board, Lauren “The Mighty Munchkin” Rose came up loaded for bear and promptly lashed a two-run double to get things really rockin’ and rollin’.

Rose scooted around to score herself on an RBI single off of the bat of Sarah Wright, and suddenly Wolf hurler Katrina McGranahan had a lead to play around with.

“We kept scrapping and getting runs here and there,” Kevin McGranahan said. “And, as usual, we played as a team and never panicked.”

That came in crucial when North Mason took advantage of a rare defensive lapse from the Wolves to plate two runners of their own in the top of the fifth, pulling back within 3-2.

Showing not a moment of panic, the Wolves tossed another three runs on the scoreboard in the bottom half of the inning, with Mathusek, Scout Smith and Katrina McGranahan all collecting base-knocks.

The cherry on top came from Hope Lodell, as “The Surgeon” sliced ‘n diced North Mason’s defense for a sixth-inning double, then popped home on an RBI single from the red-hot Caveness.

Coupeville finished with eight hits spread out over seven batters, with Katrina McGranahan leading the way with two singles.

That matched what she gave up in the pitcher’s circle.

With help from Wright, her catcher, who “did a great job of keeping her (Kat) down in the zone for a very picky umpire,” Coupeville’s ace was on point all afternoon.

Katrina McGranahan has surrendered just three hits in the first 13 innings of the season.

Take what they give you, then take some more.

Racing iffy weather Friday, the Coupeville High School baseball squad took full advantage of all the opportunities offered by visiting North Mason and got off the field quickly.

Using a mix of Bulldog errors and walks, the Wolves sprinkled in a few well-placed hits and strolled to an 11-1 win in a game called after five innings due to the mercy rule.

The non-conference victory, coming against a large 2A school, lifts Coupeville to 3-2 on the season.

CHS will have a chance to keep its hot streak alive when it turns right around Saturday morning and heads off to Vashon Island.

Coupeville coach Chris Smith exited the field with a smile Friday, pleased with just about every aspect of how his team played.

“Solid game all around, with good pitching, solid defense and good approach at the plate,” he said. “I’m happy with our run production.”

After a scoreless first inning, the Wolves exploded in the bottom of the second, plating seven runners and effectively ending the game.

The game-busting rally started with Dane Lucero reaching on an error, featured a ton of walks, including bases-loaded ones to Gavin Knoblich, Matt Hilborn and Joey Lippo, then was capped with a couple sweet base-knocks.

Hunter Smith, who started on the mound for CHS, blasted a two-run single to crack the game wide open, followed by Jake Hoagland tagging an RBI base-hit of his own.

Not content to stop there, Coupeville added four more runs in the third, this time keyed by big hits from Julian Welling and Lucero, plus a steady diet of walks and North Mason bobbles.

The visitors had little luck against Hunter Smith, who scattered three fairly meaningless singles, only giving up a run on a sac fly in the fifth.

Hoagland paced the Wolves at the plate with a single and double, while Welling bashed a double and Lippo, Lucero and Hunter Smith all had singles.

Crunch time is our time!!

Derek Leyva enjoys scoring goals so much, he can’t stop with just one.

The Coupeville High School sophomore has played in four soccer games during his time as a Wolf, and has recorded at least two goals each time out.

Thursday night Leyva punched in his ninth and tenth goals of the season to help fuel a second-half comeback, as Coupeville bounced back from a two-goal deficit on the road to tie North Mason 3-3.

Since it was a non-conference game, the two schools didn’t play overtime or go to a shoot-out, but instead accepted the tie, cause … soccer.

While it wasn’t a win, the result was still satisfying, as it showed the resilience of the Wolves, while coming against a much-larger school.

CHS, a very small 1A school, has played three of its first four matches against 2A schools, beating Olympic, tying North Mason and narrowly losing to Sequim.

All of this sets the Wolves up for the first huge test of the season Saturday, when they host Klahowya in a 10:45 AM bout which will decide sole possession of first-place in the 1A Olympic League.

Both teams enter play at 2-1-1, but the Eagles are 2-0 in league play, while Coupeville is 1-0.

There’s also the little matter of Klahowya’s 23-game conference winning streak, as KSS has never lost to its three division foes, having gone 6-0, 6-0, and 9-0 the past three seasons.

This time around, however, the Wolves have a new stadium, and a goal scorer who is hitting the back of the net like no other CHS boy before him.

The program single-season record is 20 goals, scored by Abraham Leyva.

His younger cousin is already halfway to that and hasn’t played a third of the regular season schedule yet.

With Coupeville trailing 2-0 at the break (with one score off of an “own goal”), the Wolves either got a fiery halftime speech from eternally laid-back coach Kyle Nelson, or just found a different gear.

Three minutes into the second half, senior captain William Nelson scooped up a loose ball and calmly zipped it into the net for this second goal of the season.

With the Wolves getting the ball forward quickly, Derek Leyva then went to work, rattling home back-to-back scores to stake his squad to a 3-2 lead.

The second goal came on a long, scorching shot, as Leyva fooled the goalie, pulling him wide before ripping the ball into the left side of the net from about the 40-yard line.

North Mason got a tying goal late in the game, but a potential go-ahead one was waved off for a player being off-sides.

Well … we’re waiting!!

   Waiting for the ferry on a beautiful early spring day (you know, back in that time before a rainy winter returned).

Abby Parker finds her inner bliss.

Coupeville track parents are always up for a road trip.

Lauren Bayne enjoys her day.

In our modern, go-go world, we expect everything super fast.

Maybe I’ve been spoiled, but with high school track teams using Athletic.net to post their results in recent years, I’ve grown used to stats popping up almost as soon as the meet is done.

Not so this week, as Coupeville’s trek to North Mason Wednesday for a four-team meet continues to go unreported.

The word on the street is the hosts had $55,000 in timing equipment — and yet, here we sit, an ungodly 24 hours after said meet (I know, I know…) without a whisper of a word on the results.

Athletic.net currently shows a whopping four guys from Port Townsend in the 400, and that’s it.

While I self-righteously say, “Boo,” some track pics to keep your mind off the greatest injustice since … well … that last time I got self-righteous.
