They’re going to be double-dipping.

Both Coupeville High School softball and baseball have a pair of home doubleheaders on the schedule this coming week, providing ample opportunity for local fans to watch the Wolves in action.

Concrete slides into Cow Town Tuesday for the first of the twin bills, while Forks makes the long journey to the island Saturday.

In between, the Wolf JV softball team will nab its first game of the season Thursday, with Oak Harbor popping in for a game.

CHS track and field is also at home Saturday, hosting the Coupeville Classic Invite, while Wolf girls’ tennis is the lone team to spend any time listening to the bus wheels go round and round.

The netters are slated to travel to Granite Falls Wednesday, before hosting The Bush School Friday afternoon.

As everyone preps for a busy week, a look at where win/loss records sit through April 20:

Track goes on the attack

“Way to show up and show out!”

The trek out to Forks is a fairly long one, but a worthwhile one, especially in the eyes of Coupeville High School track and field coaches.

The Wolves were up at the crack of dawn Saturday, primed for a long day, but the choice to take part in the Forks Lion Club Invitational was the right one.

“No rain, some sun, and a whole lot of speed!” said CHS coach Elizabeth Bitting.

“Great racing and jumping all around, with tons of PRs and some impressive placings.”

The trip was a change from the original schedule, which had the Wolves slated to go to Cashmere today.

Joining the fracas in Forks allowed Coupeville to take more athletes than the other option, and it paid off with the CHS girls claiming a team title at the seven-team meet.

The Wolf boys finished with a solid second-place performance in the team standings, trailing only 2A powerhouse Olympic.

Along the way, Coupeville racked up nine wins and 29 PRs, with Lyla Stuurmans pulling off the double delight with victories in the 800 and 1600.

She was joined by Matthew Ward (triple jump), Aleksia Jump (3200), Carson Field (800), Olivia Hall (400), Cael Wilson (high jump), Katie Marti (discus), and the boys 4 x 100 relay unit.

After bouncing across the backroads of America, the Wolves will get to stay closer to home for their next meet, as they host the Coupeville Classic Invite next Saturday, April 26.

That will be the final regular-season event before the postseason run begins.

Hardcourt aces show great promise

There’s more to the story than the win/loss record.

While it’s true the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis squad is 0-7 on the season after being nipped 3-2 Friday afternoon by visiting Friday Harbor, that’s not a complete reflection of how the Wolves have been playing.

A team comprised almost completely of younger players and netters new to the game, and one which has dodged a series of injuries, is virtually a shot or two away from being 7-0.

Six of those seven team losses have been by a 3-2 score, with the only one which wasn’t being 3-1 after a singles match was suspended by injury.

As Coupeville rebuilds its program after scraping together a partial roster a season ago, the present, and the future, are much brighter.

And one of the brightest spots is first-year player Dahlia Miller, the lone Wolf to have gone 7-0 this season.

She’s won 13 of 14 sets and been a consistent winner whether playing at #1 or #2 singles.

Friday, with Tenley Stuurmans missing in action, Miller moved to the top of the order and once again delivered, as did Brynn Parker, who slid into the #2 slot.

“It was great!” said CHS coach Starla Seal. “Dahlia and Brynn played well, played quickly, and they were focused and had some beautiful rallies.”

Miller took down a Friday Harbor player, Nikki Cole Clark, who battled at the district tourney last season, which bodes well for this year’s postseason run.

While Coupeville couldn’t get that elusive third win, dropping all three doubles clashes, their duos held up well under pressure.

“Our doubles (teams) played very nicely, great rallies,” Seal said.

“Delanie (Lewis) and Miles (Gerber) showed great promise and I’m very happy with how all of the girls played!”

Coupeville now hits the road for three of its next four matches before closing the regular season at home May 7 with Senior Night.

Friday’s results:

 

Varsity:

1st Singles — Dahlia Miller beat Nikki Clark Cole 6-2, 6-2

2nd Singles — Brynn Parker beat Frankie Pignatiello 6-2, 6-4

1st Doubles — Kauri Hamilton/Ember Light lost to Hazel Leighton/Norah Leighton 6-1, 6-3

2nd Doubles — Samantha Wallace/Hailey Goldman lost to Kira Clark/Lyla Ovenell 6-0, 6-0

3rd Doubles — Delanie Lewis/Miles Gerber lost to Meadow Carlson/Sophia Ramirez 6-4, 6-2

 

JV:

4th Doubles — Chloe Ferguson/Rowan Stoner lost to Daisy Bautista/Kate Curtis 8-1

5th Doubles — Savannah Coxsey/Ashley Wells lost to Isabella Derksema/Indi Minter 8-3

You can start calling him Tate the Great.

Saturday was a standout day for Coupeville grad Tate Wyman, now a sophomore track and field athlete plying his trade a state away.

Competing on his home turf at the Oregon Tech Invitational in Klamath Falls, the former Wolf put in his strongest performance of the season, winning two of three events he vied in.

Wyman soared 21 feet, eight inches in the long jump, setting a PR and finishing an impressive eight inches better than anyone else in the field.

He also ran a leg on a triumphant 4 x 100 relay unit which set a season best at 42.66 seconds, before finishing the day as part of a 4 x 400 squad which hit the tape in 3:38.27, earning 5th.

Coming off today’s home meet, the Hustlin’ Owls are slated to be back in action next Saturday, April 26, traveling to Salem, Oregon for the Berney Classic.

Let it fly!

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, now a sophomore at Plattsburgh State, kept busy Saturday, competing in three events at the Middlebury Invitational in Vermont.

The former Wolf topped out with a 4th place finish in the javelin, tossing her implement 93 feet, nine inches.

Jump also chucked the hammer 101-10 and smashed her PR in the discus with a throw of 77-05.

The triple-threat performance allowed her to keep a season of success rolling along, but she’s not done yet.

Plattsburgh State is slated to be in Canton, New York next Friday, April 25 for the SLU Twilight Invite hosted by St. Lawrence University.

Jump, who is majoring in Environmental Planning & Management/Geology, was a top-notch volleyball player (school and club) and track and field athlete during her days growing up in Coupeville.
