The spring of our discontent continues.

Another day, another rain-out, but this one was slightly more irritating.

The Coupeville High School girls tennis team was already on the ferry Friday afternoon, anticipating the beat-down they were going to inflict on Chimacum, when the call came that their match was being postponed.

Since it’s a league match, every effort will be made to reschedule.

Weather permitting, the Wolves (1-0 in Olympic League play, 2-3 overall) will play three days in a row to kick off next week.

Coupeville has road non-conference matches at North Kitsap Monday and Kingston Wednesday, wrapped around a home match Tuesday versus league rival Klahowya.

Monica Vidoni is one of four former Wolves playing college ball this spring.

Across two states and two sports, former Wolves continue to shine.

Coupeville High School has four alumni currently playing college baseball or softball, and they’re all deep into their respective seasons.

Up to the moment stats for the fab four:

Ben Etzell — A junior at Saint John’s University in Minnesota, where he’s become the closer for a Johnnies squad which sits at 16-7.

He tops the teams in appearances (nine), games finished (seven) and saves (two), while sitting #3 with 17 strikeouts, seven of those looking.

Over the course of 16.2 innings, he’s posted a 3.24 ERA, holding opposing teams to a .233 batting average.

Hailey Hammer — A sophomore at Everett Community College, she’s hitting .321 over a 19-game span for a 7-15 team.

She has 18 hits, including an out-of-the-park home-run, 10 runs, 10 walks and nine RBI.

Aaron Trumbull — A freshman at Olympic Community College, where he’s played in eight games for a 6-14 squad.

He has two walks, a hit and a run while providing strong defense at first base.

Monica Vidoni — A sophomore at Rainy River Community College in Minnesota, where the Voyageurs are 10-9.

She’s appeared in 18 games, posting a .433 batting average with 13 hits (including two doubles), nine RBI, eight runs and three walks.

The war begins.

With a pair of first-year players rallying to pull out a victory at fourth doubles Thursday, the Coupeville High School girls tennis team drew first blood against Klahowya.

Winning 4-3 on the road, the Wolves stretched their unbeaten streak in Olympic League play to 12 matches across three seasons.

Coupeville (1-0 in league, 2-3 overall) jumps right back in the bus Friday to go face Chimacum (0-1, 0-4), while Klahowya (1-1, 2-5) will bide its time.

Beginning their quest to win a third-straight league title, the Wolves had to dig down deep Thursday afternoon.

With the match tied at 3-3, Tia Wurzrainer and Claire Mietus were Coupeville’s final hope.

Not that they knew it until after they finished their straights-set win.

“Luckily for them, they did not know that the team score was knotted up,” CHS coach Ken Stange said. “I was very pleased with their performance today. They remained calm and they stayed consistent.”

Coupeville used its depth to pull out the win, taking three of four doubles matches and getting a huge win from Bree Daigneault at third singles.

“Bree absolutely destroyed her opponent,” Stange said. “She was consistent and she handled the wind very well.”

Top doubles duo Sage Renninger and Payton Aparicio remained perfect (Renninger is 5-0, having played a match with younger sister Avalon when her partner was on vacation), while Kameryn St Onge and Maggie Crimmins were electric as they bageled their foes.

While the Wolves took three defeats, all were close, with second doubles going a full three sets.

“Avalon and Zoe (Trujillo) played a spirited match, but came up just a little bit short,” Stange said. “They are talented freshmen though, and I believe they will flip the scores next time we meet Klahowya.”

With five of six league matches still ahead on the schedule, Coupeville’s three-peat is far from guaranteed, but Stange likes what he’s seen so far.

“As long as our players stay calm and focused, we should be able to defend our league title.”

CHS hurler Dane Lucero brings the heat.

Swing (and click) away.

With rain and wind having turned to sunshine (and a little wind) Wednesday afternoon, both the Coupeville High School softball and baseball teams were able to get in league games.

Along for the ride was local paparazzi John Fisken, who provides us with a mix of action and reaction shots.

Giant killers.

Facing off with three large 2A schools Wednesday, lil’ Coupeville (small even by 1A standards) pulled off three wins and set 32 PRs at a four-team track meet in Bremerton.

The Wolves didn’t have the depth to upend North Kitsap, Olympic and Sequim in the team standings — the CHS girls finished third, the boys fourth — but they more than held their own as individuals.

Sophomore sensations Danny Conlisk (400) and Lindsey Roberts (100 hurdles) ran away with titles, with Conlisk narrowly missing out on a double dip.

He came within a second of also winning the 800, one of seven 2nd place finishes compiled by the Wolves.

The third win came courtesy the men’s 4 x 100 relay squad, which was comprised of seniors Jacob Martin and Mitchell Carroll and juniors Cameron Toomey-Stout and Jacob Smith.
