Big-kicking sophomore Uriel Liquidano is one of the key players coach Kyle Nelson hopes to return to the pitch next season.

Colin Belliveau is one nine seniors who will depart the Wolf program.

Admit it. There wasn’t much suspense.

If Abraham Leyva hadn’t been awarded Player of the Year Thursday when the Coupeville High School boys’ soccer squad handed out awards and letters, the jaws would have hit the floor.

Leyva capped his junior season on the pitch with a team-high 14 goals, more than double the output of any of his teammates.

He has led the Wolves in scoring both years he has played for CHS.

But, even if you’re 99.2% sure of where one award is going, the rest are usually up for grabs, producing surprises as they’re handed out.

Such was the case Thursday, as seven other Wolves netted honors.

Ethan Spark took home Player of the Year for the JV squad, while Aaron Wright (varsity) and Jeremiah Pace (JV) collected Most Inspirational.

Most Improved Player was split between Connor McCormick and Sebastian Davis at the varsity level, while Isaac Vargas was tabbed for the same award at the JV level.

Freshman William Nelson rounded out the honorees, being named Rookie of the Year.

The Wolves finished 3-11 overall, 2-4 in Olympic League play.

Eight of the 10 players who scored (accounting for 29 of 35 goals) were underclassmen and could return in 2016.

That would be bolstered further by a healthy Zane Bundy, who missed most of his junior season after being the team’s #2 scorer as a sophomore.

Colin Belliveau
Zane Bundy
Taylor Chiles
Garrett Compton
Josh Datin

Past winners Nick Streubel and Amanda Fabrizi.

CJ Smith destroys polls.

The Coupeville High School junior — and his fervent fan club — outlasted, outwitted and outvoted the field (again), sweeping to victory in Coupeville Sports 3rd annual battle to be named Athlete Supreme.

Smith, who played football, basketball and baseball for the Wolves in 2014-2015, edged out soccer/basketball star Julia Myers with a strong second-half performance.

With 24 hours left in the 3.5-day voting period, Myers held a razor-thin two-vote advantage, but Smith stormed back to win 4,253-3,514.

Overall, 15,385 votes were cast, with Jacki Ginnings (1,660), Matt Shank (1,066) and Valen Trujillo (940) rounding out the top five.

With the win, Smith joins past winners Nick Streubel (2012-2013) and Amanda Fabrizi (2013-2014) in winning an award that has no real trophy (yet) but gets you about seven seconds of fame.

Now, the only question remaining, can CJ defend his crown as a senior and become the first repeat winner in Athlete Supreme history, or is there a Wolf out there preparing to take him down?

To do so, you’ll need two things — a strong athletic year (you’re more likely to be nominated if you play multiple sports) and a really fast voting finger.

Two down, one alive!!

Valen Trujillo, heir to the throne.

Aaron Curtin is headed back to Yakima for the 1A state tourney.

“She was very kind and respectful, but would always hold her ground.”

Over the last three years, Jacki Ginnings has been a rock for the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis squad, a player Wolf coach Ken Stange could always count on, match after match.

“She has been a tough competitor for us, and she will be missed,” Stange said. “She could possibly be made of iron. She didn’t miss a single contest this season, and many of her matches were of the 2+ hour variety.

“I’m going to miss her tenacity,” he added. “She had a way with opponents. Early in her career, she would let players cheat, but, by her second year, she would hold her foes accountable for bad calls.”

Ginnings, a senior, capped her career Wednesday with a strong showing at the district tourney, falling 6-0, 6-1 in the semifinals to eventual champ Alexis Schorno of Charles Wright Academy.

Schorno claimed the lone spot at state being offered from the highly-competitive District 3 tourney.

Ginnings traveling partner, sophomore Valen Trujillo, also made it to the semifinals, before being knocked out 6-1, 6-2 by Taryn Mulvihill of Vashon Island.

“They both fought hard, but came up short against a pair of talented players,” Stange said.

The Wolf tradition of having a strong #1 singles player carried down from Amanda d’Almeida to Allie Hanigan to Ginnings in recent seasons, with Trujillo set to inherit the mantle next year.

“Jacki put up a 10-4 record at #1 this year. Those are excellent numbers,” Stange said. “Luckily, Valen seems fit to take over the role as our top singles player.”

Extra match:

A quirk in the schedule forced Wolf netter Aaron Curtin, who had qualified for state back in the fall, to go back out and beat a player he had already taken down to reaffirm his trip to Yakima.

The CHS senior did just that, dispatching Steen Jennings of Vashon 6-3, 3-6, 6-1.

“I’ve never seen Aaron hit serves harder than he was hitting them today,” Stange said.

Curtin will take his second consecutive trip to the 1A state tourney May 29-30. He advanced as a doubles player with Ben Etzell during his junior season.

Quality counts.

Putting a final stamp on its season, the Coupeville High School baseball squad had four players honored by the 1A Olympic League Wednesday.

Seniors Aaron Curtin (P) and Josh Bayne (OF) and juniors CJ Smith (P) and Cole Payne (Utility) were all named First-Team All-League.

The honors capped a season in which the Wolves went 9-10 overall, 5-4 in league play.

They finished second in the four-team league behind the state’s top-ranked 1A school, Klahowya.

Curtin tossed a no-hitter, Smith came very close to upending Klahowya, Bayne provided electricity with both his bat and his glove and Payne was rock-solid no mater what position he was called on to play.

Fear the Lone Wolf.

Christine Fields knows the way to the big time. She’s been there before.

The Coupeville High School senior will trek to Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco May 27-28 to cap her stellar high school golf career, marking her fourth consecutive appearance at the state tourney.

Fields, who finished fifth in 1A as a junior, will be riding a hot streak after torching the field Tuesday at districts.

Carding an 84 at Bremerton’s Gold Mountain Golf Club, she claimed her second title in a row, following her romp through the Olympic League Championships last week.

In winning the District 3 tourney, she out-dueled 14 other contenders from Klahowya, Cascade Christian, Seattle Christian, Charles Wright Academy and Bellevue Christian.

Now, after playing in Dupont as a freshman and Lake Spanaway the last two seasons, she’ll hit up Pasco in one final bid for state glory.

In her three previous trips Fields has claimed 8th, 15th and 5th.
