Hawthorne Wolfe is the top active scorer for CHS basketball, boys or girls, with 410 points through his first two seasons.

Basketball is back.

Or, at least it will be when we hit May, barring any pandemic-related shenanigans.

Winter sports, which is girls and boys basketball in Coupeville — and we’ll thank you not to ask for anything else — are going last during this off-kilter 2020-2021 school year.

The first practice is set for next Monday, May 3, the first games for May 18, and Senior Night caps things June 17.

The season will be shorter than normal, with 12-game schedules (instead of 20) and no playoffs.

That’ll give the Wolves a chance to play home-and-away contests with their six rivals in the Northwest 2B/1B League.

Hopefully.

Friday Harbor sat out fall sports completely after Covid cases spiked in the San Juans, and the one thing we’ve learned during the Age of Coronavirus is no schedule is safe.

Ever. At any point.

But, with our fingers crossed, we move forward with the hope we’ll witness Hawthorne Wolfe and Xavier Murdy raining three-balls, while Ja’Kenya Hoskins dominates in the paint.

The schedules as of 4:45 PM, April 26, 2021, with JV start times listed first (even when they don’t play first), and varsity second.

We’ve hit a bump in the schedule recently, with just a handful of games played last week.

But there are still plenty of photos hanging around from previous contests, so here’s some you may not have previously seen.

They were shot by John Fisken, and, if you’re intrigued, you can see much more of his work by jumping over to John’s Photos (johnsphotos.net).

It’s a wrap for Wright

Sarah Wright

It was a fab finale.

They sat for three weeks, then had the first of two season-ending doubleheaders cancelled by weather, but the Sewanee: University of the South softball squad finally got back on the diamond Sunday.

With Coupeville grad Sarah Wright among those pounding the ball, the Tigers swept a twinbill from visiting Johnson (TN) to put a cap on their pandemic-shortened campaign.

Winning 11-10 and 13-3, Sewanee finished the season 4-6, winning three of its final five games.

The Tigers only played home games this time around, and had a much more limited schedule than many of its foes.

Johnson, for example, played 28 games to Sewanee’s 10.

Wright, a sophomore catcher, had an RBI single in the opener, then came back around to collect two hits in the nightcap, including a double.

The former Wolf finished her second season in Tennessee with a .407 batting average, collecting 11 hits, including two doubles, and driving in five runs.

Last spring, Wright’s season ended abruptly after 16 games, when the pandemic shut down college sports.

Despite not yet having played a full season of college ball, the former CHS valedictorian has piled up positive numbers when given the chance.

Through 26 career games at Sewanee, Wright sits with a .309 batting average, 68 at-bats, 21 hits, including two home runs and two doubles, and 12 RBI.

She has walked nine times, come around to score six times, and anchored the Tigers with her quick glove and explosive throwing arm behind the plate.

Lippo a Maine masher

Joey Lippo had a strong Sunday, but it wasn’t quite enough to save his team.

The Coupeville High School grad racked up two hits, scored a run, and knocked in another, but the University of Maine at Presque Isle fell 6-4 to host Husson University.

The loss drops the Owls to 0-10 on the season, while the high-flying Eagles sit at 15-4.

Lippo lashed an RBI single to right in the top of the second Sunday, but UMPI couldn’t hold on to an early 2-1 lead.

Husson broke things open with a four-run surge in the bottom half of the inning, then held on when the Owls rallied late.

UMPI pushed two runs across in the top of the seventh, and final, inning to tighten things up, with Lippo singling and coming around to score.

On the season, the former Wolf is third on his team in hits (six) and RBI (two), while playing strong defense in the outfield.

Lippo has also appeared as a pitcher, throwing 1.1 innings for the Owls, who play at the NCAA D-III level.

UMPI has 10 games left on its schedule, with five games apiece against Northern Vermont University-Lyndon (April 30-May 2) and the University of Maine-Farmington (May 6-10).

Fight for fall supremacy rages

“Gimme those sweet, sweet standings!” (Photo by JohnsPhotos.net)

It’s a donnybrook.

As we continue to stumble through a pandemic-altered fall sports season — which is running after spring this time around — pretty much everyone in the Northwest 2B/1B League is having success.

Well, except for Friday Harbor, which is sitting out the season…

But, other than the quarantine-lovin’ Wolverines, the battle for the most varsity team wins is a hotly-contested affair.

Coupeville, which rolled to a blowout victory during spring sports, still leads the pack, with eight wins spread out among its volleyball, girls and boys soccer, and football teams.

But, La Conner and Mount Vernon Christian are on the rise, with seven W’s apiece, while Orcas Island has six.

Concrete and Darrington are finding less success, with each school nabbing just a single win across the four fall sports to post win/loss records.

Cross country doesn’t roll that way, and Friday Harbor’s exit means Coupeville hasn’t been able to pick up any boys tennis victories.

The week ahead offers up a mix of contests — if the schedule plays out as planned, which has been highly-questionable in recent days.

Coupeville boys soccer is set to travel to Mount Vernon Christian Tuesday, then host NWL interloper Providence Classical Christian Thursday.

Meanwhile, Wolf girls soccer goes to MVC Wednesday, while cross country makes the same trip Friday afternoon.

Rounding out the schedule, next Saturday offers up a road game, with football playing Neah Bay in Forks, and a home affair — Senior Night for volleyball against Concrete.

Standings through April 25:

Northwest League boys soccer:

School	League	Overall
Orcas Island	5-0-0	5-0-0
Coupeville	1-0-0	1-0-0
CPC-Lynnwood	3-3-0	3-3-0
MV Christian	2-2-0	2-2-0
PC Christian	2-3-0	2-3-0
La Conner	1-3-1	1-3-1
Grace Academy	0-3-1	0-3-1
