Friday was lovely.

Sunny, no rain, maybe just a ripple or two of breeze across the prairie.

So, of course, there was absolutely, positively no spring sports games scheduled for today.

As opposed to Wednesday, when Coupeville High School softball waged war while being lashed by gale force winds for three hours.

Such is life for athletes playing outside on a rock in the water in March.

Since we didn’t have any live action to report on, here are a collection of photos showcasing all five CHS sports teams, just to remind you what they look like when in action.

Why? Why not.

The fate of the world, or at least a tennis match, will hang on a thread for almost a month.

Forced to flee to catch a ferry, the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis team had to leave Thursday’s conference opener at Klahowya knotted at 3-3, with the deciding match locked at 5-5 in the third set.

That match, a #1 singles bout between Wolf Valen Trujillo and Eagle Sydney Jackson, will be decided Apr. 19 when CHS returns to Silverdale for the second of the school’s three matches this season.

The Wolves (0-1) now have two matches sitting unresolved.

They were leading Granite Falls 3-1 when rain brought an early end to their season opener and will pick things up Apr. 22, when they meet to play a second match.

While Coupeville didn’t get closure Thursday, it did get a huge win at #1 doubles, where sophomores Payton Aparicio and Sage Renninger upended an Eagle duo that included one half of last year’s state semifinalists.

Complete (mostly) results:

1st Singles — Valen Trujillo tied with Sydney Jackson 6-7 (0-7), 6-4, 5-5

“This match began at 4:00 and was still going three hours later,” Coupeville coach Ken Stange said. “This is a battle of two contrasting styles. Valen brings power, while Sydney brings consistency.

“I think that when we meet again, Valen will prevail.”

2nd Singles — Bree Daigneault (CHS) beat Lara Hooper 7-5, 6-1

“Bree missed our last match, and she was excited to get out onto the singles court. She did not disappoint.

“It took her a set to find her way, but she really took control in the second set. It was quite impressive.”

3rd Singles — Kenzi LaRue lost to Sophia Kovaleskie 6-2, 6-1

1st Doubles — Sage Renninger/Payton Aparacio beat Shania Rose/Haley Sargent 6-3, 0-6, 7-5

“They’d been looking forward to this match since last year’s league tourney. Rose is a dominant doubles player, and Sage/Payton needed to find ways to keep her from dominating both sides of the court.

“It was easily the most satisfying win of the season for our 1’s, who are now 3-0. It was the kind of win that made the struggles of last season’s 4-9 campaign, at #1 Doubles, worth the trouble.

I could not be more proud of Payton and Sage; they were, as Stuart Scott would have said, cooler than the other side of the pillow!”

2nd Doubles — McKenzie Bailey/Jazmine Franklin (CHS) beat Mary Ann Marker/Maddy Reinks 6-3, 6-2

“3-0 on the season — so dominant — they are picking up where they left off last season, when they went 14-2.

“They will bag many wins for our team at #2 Doubles. On any other team, they’d be the 1’s. Our team is fortunate!”

3rd Doubles — Maggie Crimmins/Kameryn St Onge lost to Taylor Bruce/Emma Lajoie 6-3, 6-3

4th Doubles — Julianne Sem/Julia Borges lost to Desiree Watts/Sarah Ackerman 6-4, 6-0

Relay teams scorch the oval!!

Lindsey Roberts (left) and Makana Stone are half of the fastest 4 x 200 girls relay team in 1A.

The relay teams were on fire.

Competing against three 2A schools Thursday at North Kitsap, the Coupeville High School girls 4 x 200 relay unit put together the fastest time run this season by a 1A school.

Lauren Grove, Sylvia Hurlburt, Lindsey Roberts and Makana Stone toasted their big school foes, zipping across the finish line in 1:48.40 for the Wolves lone win on the day.

The same foursome also finished second in the 4 x 100, trailing just Olympic.

Coupeville’s time of 52.17 is the second-fastest by a 1A school this season (trailing just Lynden Christian), while Olympic’s winning time of 51.75 is second-fastest in 2A.

The relay rumblings capped a day in which 20 Wolves combined to set 30 PRs.

Senior thrower Dominic Dausey set career bests in shot put, discus and javelin to lead the way, while eight other CHS athletes achieved a pair of PRs.

While Coupeville got strong individual efforts, it didn’t have the depth to upend North Kitsap, Sequim or Olympic in team scoring battles.

Gone with the wind (again)!!

Wolf volleyball/basketball ace Kyla Briscoe, the only fan even remotely warm on this day.

Fighting the wind all the way, CHS first baseman Veronica Crownover stretches out to haul in a throw headed towards Oak Harbor.

Wolf spikers Ashley Menges (left) and Maddy Hilkey miss being in a heated gym.

If the catcher and ump could open their eyes in the heart of the gale, they’d see Katrina McGranahan crushing the ball.

Wolf mom Jennifer Kellner: “Remember how warm the gym was during basketball season?”

Lauren Rose’s papa: “YES, sweet lord, YES, I do!!!!!!!!!!!”

Adjusting for winds of 200+ MPH (at least…), catcher Sarah Wright takes a chance on throwing the ball back to the pitcher’s circle.

“It’s like freakin’ Acapulco out here!!!!”

It was not pleasant on the prairie Wednesday.

While there was not a drop of rain to be found, the wind roaring down from straightaway center field was even more brutal than normal.

And it never, ever let up as Coupeville and Bellevue Christian played the longest game of the spring.

And yet, very few Wolf faithful departed until the end of a mind-boggling 17-16 come-from-behind, how-did-that-happen CHS win.

To prove it, we have a selection of wind-swept pics from travelin’ photo man John Fisken (who did leave before the final run…) to document the inner steel of Coupeville’s players and fans.

Dynamic duo win the day!!

Birthday fever is bouncing around out of control in Coupeville today.

Two of the most energetic of all Wolf athletes — CHS senior Sebastian Davis and sophomore Jacob Smith — share a cake day, and a style of attacking the day, every day.

Regardless of the sport (Davis plays tennis and soccer currently while Smith careens around the gridiron and track oval), the duo are explosive, highly entertaining hard workers.

They’re also exceptionally smart, very outgoing and primed to do big things in the outside world when they step away from Whidbey Island.

Sebastian, who I’ve known since he was a little guy hanging out at Videoville and Miriam’s Espresso, does it all.

The lead in (nearly) every school play, a Science Olympiad whiz kid who could teach the judges a few things and a video game player who ruthlessly defends his sprawling on-line empire against any who would dare to come for his crown, he puts the talent in multi-talented.

I know Jacob primarily from watching him work in the world of athletics, where he comes across as a super-friendly, dedicated guy, the kind of player who still takes the football field when his arm is encased in a cast so he won’t leave his teammates hanging.

Track is where he’s making his biggest splash, with back-to-back PRs in the 100 to kick off the new season.

Both Smith and Davis also show a noticeable flair for school spirit, playing The Joker and Captain Kirk, respectively, on their classes floats during the most recent Homecoming parade.

Jacob turned his hair green for the part, while Sebastian had every one of William Shatner’s tics down cold, and both played to the audience as the parade wound its way around the track at halftime.

As the dynamic duo celebrate their big days (no word on whether they’re sharing cake), we just want to take a moment to wish both of them well.

They are two of the brightest shining lights in this small town, as athletes, scholars and people, and they deserve a big round of applause from us all.
