The big payback.

With not one, but two separate doubles teams storming back from a set down to win their matches Tuesday, the Coupeville High School boys tennis squad stunned visiting Sequim 4-3.

The non-conference win, hailed as “quite the shocker!” by CHS coach Ken Stange, lifts the Wolves to 4-6 and is the team’s second win over a 2A school this season.

It’s also payback for the two schools first match back in early Sept., when Sequim was the one pulling out a narrow victory.

Coupeville, which wraps Olympic League play with back-to-back matches against win-less Chimacum the next two days, showed no quit.

First doubles duo William Nelson and Joey Lippo and #4 combo Jaschon Baumann and Tiger Johnson showed the most pluck, climbing back into their matches, then coasting home in third-set tiebreakers.

Complete Tuesday results:

Varsity:

1st Singles — Pedro Gamarra lost to Blake Wilker 6-2, 6-1

2nd Singles — Jakobi Baumann lost to Raymond Lam 6-1, 6-2

3rd Singles — Nile Lockwood lost to Thomas Hughes 6-2, 6-0

1st Doubles — William Nelson/Joey Lippo beat Tim Porter/Damon Little 4-6, 6-3, 10-6

2nd Doubles — Mason Grove/Nick Etzell beat Kevin Meyer/Sam Frymyer 6-3, 6-2

Let’s hear it for the Cowboys.

While the Coupeville High School girls soccer squad fell 2-0 to visiting 2A Sequim in a knock-down non-conference brawl Tuesday night, the bigger news came from a different game.

When Chimacum toppled Port Townsend 3-2, the Wolves clinched no worse than second-place in the 1A Olympic League for a fourth straight season.

That guarantees Coupeville (4-1 in league play, 6-6 overall) a “home” playoff game in Oak Harbor Oct. 28 against the #3 team from the Nisqually League — currently Vashon Island.

The Wolves can still catch Klahowya (5-0, 10-1) for the league title, but would need a bit of a miracle, since the Eagles have yet to lose in 25 conference games over a four-year stretch.

With the loss, Port Townsend (1-5, 2-8) falls into a tie with Chimacum (1-5, 1-7-1).

Even if either school were to finish in a tie with CHS at 4-5, the Wolves own tiebreakers, having won the season series against both.

Coupeville has four league games left on its schedule, starting Oct. 17 at Klahowya.

For its tune-up Tuesday, the Wolves faced down Sequim, a much-larger school, for the second time this season.

After falling 4-1 on the road back in mid-Sept., the Wolves, even playing without their top defender, Lindsey Roberts, displayed how much they have grown as the season has played out.

“Continued improvement with our defense against a tough Sequim team,” said CHS coach Kyle Nelson. “We also had a number of great shots, making the Sequim keeper make some very good saves.”

This time, they want you to sneak in the back way.

Well, “sneak” might not be the operative word, but definitely go around to the back and tell ’em David sent you.

With the long-anticipated installation of new bleachers at Coupeville High School’s football field finally a go, spectators at events this week won’t be able to use the elementary school entrance.

Instead, you need to park at the baseball field parking lot, which sits right behind the football field on Terry Road.

Then walk yourself straight forward past the diamond and enter the football/soccer field through the normally closed-off back entrance.

The temporary change affects three games this week, one of which will have ticket-sellers camped out at that back entrance.

CHS girls soccer hosts Sequim Tuesday (4:00) and CMS football welcomes Port Townsend to town Wednesday (3:45), before the week is capped with Coupeville’s Homecoming football game (7:00) against Bellevue Christian.

Of the three, fans are charged admission at only the last event.

With varsity football games at home the following two weeks — Oct. 20 vs. Klahowya and Oct. 27 vs. Chimacum — the possibility Wolf fans will experience new stands this season (after just a two-year wait) has taken a giant leap forward.

Football stats are like a giant, shifting sand dune.

As the winds blow through, some piles rise and others fall, and, most times, you can’t totally control where the sand ends up.

Injuries are a killer on the gridiron, and, thanks to various hurts, Wolf stars Hunter Smith, Sean Toomey-Stout and Chris Battaglia have taken a stats hit in the last week or two.

At the same time, their absence has opened the gates for players such as Andrew Martin, Jake Hoagland and Teo Keilwitz, who have all seen their stats rise in the past two weeks.

Through it all, the most consistent weapon has been receiver/defensive back Cameron Toomey-Stout, who has stayed healthy and productive.

The senior standout is now #1 for CHS in six categories — receiving yards, touchdowns, points, all-purpose yards, interceptions (a tie with Smith) and return yards.

The man throwing him the ball, senior quarterback Hunter Downes, is busy making a run at the record books.

Through six games, he’s averaging 182.7 passing yards and 1.8 TD passes a game.

Stay at that pace through the final four contests and Downes would tie Joel Walstad’s single-season TD record (18 in 2014) and just miss Ian Smith’s single-season passing yardage mark (1,848 in 2010).

With 2,937 yards and 29 TD’s for his career, Downes is also closing in on Coupeville’s career records in those categories.

The man he’s chasing, Brad Sherman, the Wolf Offensive Coordinator, finished his run on the gridiron with 3,613 yards and 33 TD’s.

Downes and Co. will kick off the first of three straight home games this Friday, when Bellevue Christian comes to town for Coupeville’s Homecoming game.

Last year, Downes blitzed the Vikings for four scoring strikes, tying the CHS single game record. If history repeats itself, Friday the 13th could be historical.

As you count down the hours until that game, take a gander at the season-to-date stats, as compiled by CHS coaches and posted on MaxPreps.

Keep in mind, though, that when you look at where Wolf players are ranked, it comes with one caveat — not all teams in the state are actively reporting stats.

Coupeville has had plenty to cheer for this fall, with its varsity teams posting a combined 11-5 record in league contests. (David Stern photo)

The disparity in the 1A Olympic League continues to grow.

With one minor exception (Port Townsend football), conference domination is again a two-team battle between Coupeville and Klahowya.

A week into Oct., the Eagles, who rep the second-biggest 1A school in the land, have 13 varsity wins, spread across volleyball, football, tennis and soccer.

Meanwhile, the Wolves, who spring from the sixth-smallest 1A student body, are hot on their heels with 11 victories.

Way, way in the back are Port Townsend (four, with three coming from the gridiron) and Chimacum (one lonely volleyball win over PT).

The week ahead (Oct. 9-13) doesn’t offer Coupeville many chances to increase its league win total, with limited games and three of its four sports facing non-conference 2A foe Sequim.

But the Wolf tennis team has a pair of matches against Chimacum, while the CHS football squad hosts Nisqually League foe Bellevue Christian for Homecoming.

Those teams have a combined one win this season, which bodes well for the Wolves.

Current league standings through Oct. 8:

Olympic/Nisqually League football:

School League Overall
Cascade Christian 3-0 5-1
Charles Wright 3-0 5-1
Port Townsend 3-0 3-3
COUPEVILLE 1-2 3-3
Bellevue Christian 1-2 1-5
Klahowya 1-2 1-5
Chimacum 0-3 2-4
Vashon Island 0-3 0-6

Olympic League volleyball:

School League Overall
COUPEVILLE 4-0 7-1
Klahowya 3-1 4-5
Chimacum 1-3 1-5
Port Townsend 0-4 1-7

Olympic League girls soccer:
