It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Well, maybe something…

I’ve spilled a whole lot of words out onto the internet between August 15, 2012, and October 25, 2026, as I’ve obsessively documented the prairie sporting life.

And some stuff that wasn’t sports.

Cause I’m obstinate.

A fair number of them have been the 2 AM ramblings of a guy camped out on the shores of Penn Cove, fond of freaking out the feral cats outside with my rantings at the universe.

Some stories have made an impact. Some have faded.

Some had intricate word play. Others probably would have benefited from an editor.

A few have royally cheesed off someone, from the fan bases of South Whidbey to King’s to Archbishop Thomas Murphy to Friday Harbor, and back around.

Which, at the very least, means someone was reading them.

It is the blog which apparently can’t die, even if the occasional mush-brained South Whidbey School District school board member has tried in vain to get my supporters to boycott me.

Heck, I’ve even tried to kill it off a few times along the way myself, but like the star of a George Romero zombie flick, it rises again to stagger across the horizon.

What has Coupeville Sports accomplished as this article, ol’ #13,000, clicks into view? What’s my legacy here?

That’s for others to decide. Argue amongst yourselves.

Me? I’m going back to bed. The cats will appreciate the silence.

Let the tributes pour in.

Three Coupeville High School fall sports teams have Senior Night events slated for this coming week, though one doesn’t actually have any 12th graders on its roster.

Wolf volleyball and boys’ soccer will each acknowledge three players Tuesday, before playing Friday Harbor and Orcas Island, respectively.

Meanwhile, CHS girls’ soccer, which has a roster full of young’uns, hosts Friday Harbor on Thursday, and there has been talk the booters are reaching out to local senior citizens to take the place of their non-existent senior players.

A fourth Coupeville team, cross country, which has already held its Senior Night festivities, travels to University Prep Saturday for the district meet, putting a wrap on things.

Maybe.

Boys’ soccer could also end up hosting a tie-breaker game Thursday, and the booters may open district play Saturday, depending on where they finish in the final standings.

With the regular season rushing to a close and postseason activity heating up, here are where things sit through October 25:

Her bat is still locked and loaded.

Coupeville grad Teagan Calkins, now a freshman at the University of Colorado Boulder, returned to the softball diamond for fall ball and promptly filled up the stat sheet.

The former Wolf played in 10 games, hitting .483 while collecting 14 hits, including four doubles and two triples for a Buffaloes squad which went 7-3 across September and October.

Colorado won its final six games, including a three-game sweep of Colorado Mesa Saturday in the fall ball finale.

Calkins, a three-sport supernova in her Cow Town days, also racked up nine RBI, eight runs, and five walks — two by being plunked — with a .559 on base percentage, a .759 slugging percentage, and a 1.317 OPS.

She and her new teammates return to the field in March, when they kick off the regular season with a series against the Air Force Academy.

Madison McMillan still loves dingers

Elton John thought Saturday night was alright for fighting, but Madison McMillan knows it’s alright for socking softballs.

The Coupeville grad, now a sophomore at Edmonds College, is currently playing fall ball for the Tritons diamond squad.

Saturday that meant going yard on Centralia College, one of four pink-clad sluggers to whack a dinger.

After the power explosion was done, the Triton mad mashers posed for a pic which landed on the team’s Instagram page, always a good place for wandering writers to poach from.

McMillan, a member of the Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame for her exploits in Cow Town, was an accomplished volleyball, basketball, and softball player for the Wolves.

Back then, she was known to belt softballs in the direction of Prairie Center’s parking lot.

Now?

Different town, different uniform, still the same hard-hitting sensation.

Booters make scoring history

They’ve never seen anything like this before in Coupeville High School soccer history.

Girls or boys.

Freshman goaltender Finley Helm moved out into the field for part of Saturday’s game in Port Townsend and became the 16th Wolf girl to score this season.

That helped CHS eke out a hard-fought 2-2 non-conference tie with host East Jefferson, which is a mashup of Chimacum and Port Townsend players.

The draw leaves Coupeville at 6-5-3 heading into the regular season finale at home Thursday, October 29 against Northwest 2B/1B League rival Friday Harbor.

Kickoff for the free-admission rumble is set for 4:00 PM at Mickey Clark Field, and since the Wolves have no 12th graders on their roster, they are inviting local senior citizens to attend and be honored on Senior Night.

For those who show up, they’ll see a band of pitch warriors who have achieved something never before done in Coupeville soccer history.

When Helm scored, notching her first goal of the season and second of her prep career, she made sure every girl on the 2026 roster will finish with a score.

With 16 players combining for 32 goals, the Wolves also break a tie with the 2004 CHS boys’ squad, which saw 15 players hit the back of the net.

The previous single-season high for a Coupeville girls’ team was nine scorers, achieved in 2015 and 2017.

Lucy Schisel (12) is making a sizable impact on the soccer pitch.

Saturday’s other goal came courtesy rampaging 8th grader Lucy Schisel, who knocked in her team-leading sixth score.

With Helm playing the field in the first half, the Wolves used Bella Sandlin and Lyla Grose in the net, before Helm returned to netminder duties after the halftime break.

Season scoring stats through October 24:

Lucy Schisel – 6

Hazel Goldman – 4

Lyla Grose – 3

Ariella Lee-Spaulding – 3

Tamsin Ward – 3

Olivia Hall – 2

Lillian Ketterling – 2

Scarlet Barnes – 1

Emma Cushman – 1

Hailey Goldman – 1

Sophia Greene – 1
