The sound of shoes squeaking on the hardwood approaches.

High school basketball practice kicks off across the state Monday, Nov. 18, with the first games for Coupeville arriving a day or two into December.

As it stands now, the Wolf boys have a full 20-game regular season, with half of those games against Northwest 2B/1B League rivals.

CHS squares off with each of the other four 2B schools — La Conner, Mount Vernon Christian, Orcas Island, and Friday Harbor — twice, while only playing once against 1B foes Darrington and Concrete.

The Wolves also travel to Eastern Washington the last weekend in December for two games on the courts at Central Washington University and pick up several new non-conference opponents.

Teams like Morton-White Pass, Wahkiakum, and Napavine all offer Brad Sherman’s squad a chance to face state tourney-level competition, while getting Coupeville a higher profile among basketball observers.

Get ’em the big bus.

Coming off of an impressive performance Wednesday in the rain at Tri-Districts, the Coupeville High School cross country squad is sending 11 runners on to the state meet.

Wolf running guru Elizabeth Bitting will be taking four girls and seven boys to Pasco for the 2B championships, which are set for Saturday, Nov. 9.

That’s the most state meet qualifiers in one season since CHS revived its cross country program in 2017 after a two-decade layoff.

Coupeville is sending its entire boys’ team to state for the second time in as many seasons, while four Wolf girls made it through as individual qualifiers.

Conditions were wet, wet, wet at Fort Steilacoom in Lakewood as runners from Districts 1, 2, and 3 came together to battle for trail supremacy on a 5,000-meter course.

The top two boys’ teams and top three girls’ teams punched their state ticket as a group, and Coupeville almost got both of its groups through.

The boys, who placed five runners in the top 10, finished 2nd in the team standings, narrowly nipped 31-34 by Northwest 2B/1B League archrival Mount Vernon Christian for the crown.

Friday Harbor (68) was a distant third.

On the girls’ side, Pope John Paul II, led by defending state champ Ruby Henry, ran away with the team title, racking up just 30 points.

MVC (82) and Friday Harbor (84) also earned state berths, with Coupeville (98) notching fourth place in the team standings.

While the Wolf girls didn’t advance as a complete unit, the top 21 individual runners also earned state invitations, with freshman Devon Wyman literally nabbing the last spot by outsprinting a Friday Harbor rival by five seconds.

From Coupeville’s 11 state meet qualifiers, senior Carson Field will be making his third trip to the biggest run of the year.

Landon Roberts, George Spear, Ezekiel Allen, Kenneth Jacobsen, and Thomas Strelow are now two-timers, while Wyman, Mikayla Wagner, Ethan Walling, Aleksia Jump, and Aleera Kent will make their state cross country meet debut.

Wednesday results:

GIRLS:

Aleera Kent (12th) 22:45.4
Mikayla Wagner (14th) 22:49.0
Aleksia Jump (20th) 23:25.2
Devon Wyman (21st) 23:36.9
Ari Armstrong (32nd) 24:51.0
Ivy Rudat (35th) 25:49.1
Reagan Callahan (41st) 26:35.2

BOYS:

Carson Field (4th) 18:06.0
Landon Roberts (5th) 18:24.2
George Spear (7th) 18:28.4
Ezekiel Allen (8th) 18:29.4
Kenneth Jacobsen (10th) 18:31.4
Thomas Strelow (11th) 18:31.4
Ethan Walling (21st) 20:19.4

They keep running up that hill.

Step by step, the Coupeville High School varsity volleyball squad has put together an impressive 13-0 run this season, defeating everyone who steps to them.

Now, the Wolves have jumped up to #2 among all 2B schools in the latest RPI rankings from the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association.

With one regular season match left on the schedule — a Senior Night showdown with 2A Sultan Monday, Nov. 4 — CHS is getting its props.

And that could pay off down the road, as RPI rankings are one of the things considered when teams are seeded for the state tournament.

But that’s a discussion for another day.

For now, it’s enough for the Wolves to bask in the moment.

There was a whole pack of them.

Coupeville High School honored eight soccer players Tuesday during Senior Night festivities, before the veteran Wolves led their team onto the pitch at Mickey Clark Field.

While it wasn’t the final home game for CHS — that’s set for Saturday against Orcas Island — it was a prime chance for the team’s eldest players to be hailed for their careers.
