Time to be road warriors.
Six of seven games for Coupeville High School fall sports teams will be played away from Whidbey Island this coming week.
In fact, the only Wolf team to enjoy home cooking will be volleyball, which hosts Concrete Tuesday, before travelling to Mount Vernon Christian Thursday.
Both Wolf soccer teams play two games away from Cow Town, with the girls at La Conner Tuesday and MVC Thursday.
The male booters travel to Grace Academy Tuesday, before island-hopping Thursday with a trip to Friday Harbor.
But the longest trek of the week belongs to CHS football, which ambles down to Leavenworth to face Cascade under Friday Night Lights.
And cross country? With no meets on the schedule next week, they don’t have to step on a bus once.
As the Wolves prep for a week of listening to the wheels go round and round, a look at standings through Oct. 9:

Paige Spangler (right), here running with fellow coach Elizabeth Bitting, competed in Sunday’s Chicago Marathon.
She leads by example.
Coupeville High School cross country coach Paige Spangler wasn’t with her team at this weekend’s Nike Hole in the Wall Cross Country Invitational.
That’s because the harrier coach, a dedicated runner herself, was halfway across the United States, camped out in Illinois.
Why?
Because Sunday morning Spangler was one of 40,000 runners to hit the line at the Chicago Marathon, the fourth-largest race in the country by number of finishers.
The Wolf running guru completed her 26.2-mile trek in five hours, 17 minutes, 14 seconds, placing her in the top 2,300 in her age group.
Now, with the marathon experience to guide her, Spangler will return to Whidbey Island, where she’ll lead CHS to the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships Oct. 20 in Mount Vernon.

Time to put the clubs away and start thinking about hefting a bat.
Coupeville High School grad Joey Lippo wrapped his second season of collegiate golf Sunday, competing at the North Atlantic Conference Championships.
Husson University, led by medalist Jack King, claimed the team title at the 11-school event.
Lippo, who reps the University of Maine at Presque Isle, finished 46th in the individual race after carding an 87 Saturday and a 98 Sunday at the Waterville Country Club in Oakland, Maine.
The former Wolf, who was an All-Conference baseball player for the Owls last spring, now turns his attention back to the diamond.
Lippo has two seasons of baseball and golf under his belt at UMPI, an NCAA D-III school.
During his time in Coupeville, he was a three-sport star, playing tennis, basketball, and baseball for CHS.

It was a tall challenge.
The Coupeville High School girls soccer squad is a scrappy band of players who never back down from anyone.
But, when the opponent is a blue blood program which boasts multiple state titles and enters play undefeated, life is likely to be tough.
Such was the case Saturday, as the Wolves put out a maximum effort but came up short against visiting Crosspoint Academy.
The Warriors, repping a 1B school, exited Whidbey with a 7-0 win, improving their season mark to 5-0-1, with that tie having come against 2A power North Kitsap.
The loss drops Coupeville to 1-7, though their next game should be a more-competitive affair.
The Wolves travel to La Conner Tuesday, Oct. 11 to face a Braves team which sits at 0-8 on the season.
Coupeville has home and away games with La Conner, as well as road trips to Mount Vernon Christian and Granite Falls left on the schedule.
The Wolves may also pick up a road game at Sultan, if the two schools are able to work around the Turks league schedule, which has been impacted by fire-related weather conditions.
