History was made last week, but we’re not done yet.

The Coupeville High School football team clinched the first winning season by the program since 2005, while the Wolf girls soccer squad captured its first-ever playoff win.

As we count down the final days of October, then veer into the first days of November, there’s a lot less games to play, but those that remain mean a lot more.

The Wolf booters play a loser-out game at Cedar Park Christian Monday.

Win, and two more games pop up on the schedule, with road tilts Wednesday and Saturday against yet-to-be-determined foes.

Football closes its season Friday on the road in Bellevue against Interlake, while cross country runs Saturday at the district meet in Langley.

CHS tennis has already wrapped its season, while Wolf volleyball still has a ways to go.

The spikers cap the regular season Monday in Sultan, then kick off district play with two matches Saturday in Lynden.

As we prepare for at least one more week of action-packed fall sports, a look at where we are at the moment.

Wolves blaze a trail to success

Catherine Lhamon finished 11th, best showing of any Wolf runner.

Never tell them the odds.

Defying their rankings, both Coupeville High School cross country teams did better than expected Saturday at the North Sound Conference Championships.

Running at Lakewood High School, the Wolf girls claimed 3rd behind twin titans King’s and South Whidbey, while the CHS boys out-kicked Granite Falls to snatch 5th.

On the girls side, the Wolves thrived despite the fact they only have five runners, the minimum to qualify for team scoring.

Coupeville compensated by putting all of its harriers into the top 24 finishers, with junior Catherine Lhamon leading the way with an 11th place showing, best for any Wolf, girl or boy, on the day.

In the other race, the Wolves nipped Granite Falls thanks to junior Sam Wynn and freshman Aidan Wilson, who both had “monster kicks” on the last 200 meters to out-gun Granite foes.

“A great effort across the board,” said CHS coach Luke Samford. “We talked all week about how every point would matter, and it sure did today.

“Very proud of what the Wolves did today.”

Coupeville returns to the trail next Saturday, Nov. 2, when it travels to Langley for the District 1/2 meet.

The top five girls teams and 35 fastest individual runners qualify for state, which is run Nov. 9 at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco.

The Wolf boys need a top-four team finish or a top 28 individual finish to punch their ticket.

 

Complete Saturday results:

GIRLS:

Catherine Lhamon (11th) 22:17.1
Claire Mayne (13th) 23:04.3
Alana Mihill (14th) 23:05.3

A deep, and dangerous pack of Wolves.

On the attack.

Everyone ran down to South Whidbey.

From the Coupeville Middle School harriers, who closed out their season Wednesday at the Cascade League Championships, to photographer John Fisken, Langley was the place to be.

The pics seen above are a mix of Wolf girls and boys at work, but there’s a lot more to see.

Let’s shake things out

A lot will shake out this coming week.

League titles are on the line in some sports, playoff berths in others, and Coupeville High School honors seniors on four of six fall squads.

While Wolf boys tennis ended its season Saturday, with an appearance at the Emerald City League tourney, CHS cross country gets its first postseason race Oct. 26, when it runs in the North Sound Conference Championships.

Coupeville football hosts Anacortes Oct. 25, a night when the gridiron giants and Wolf cheerleaders will hold Senior Night festivities.

A win against the Seahawks, and the Wolves capture the first winning season for a CHS football team since 2005.

That leaves volleyball and soccer, with the spikers playing twice, and the booters facing what could be a very busy week.

Volleyball hosts Granite Falls Oct. 22 (it’s Senior Night and a win clinches at least second-place for the Wolves in their six-team league).

After that comes a road trip to King’s Oct. 24, in a match which will likely decide the NSC title.

Soccer travels to South Whidbey Oct. 21, then hosts Granite Falls on Senior Night Oct. 23.

With the Wolves currently tied with Sultan for the final playoff berth, there could be more games crammed into the week.

If the logjam for the #5 playoff seed remains, Coupeville hosts the Turks Oct. 24 in a tie-breaker game.

Earn that playoff berth, either through the tiebreaker or by pulling ahead during the final regular-season games, and the Wolf booters are at home Oct. 26 for a district playoff play-in game against Mount Baker.

Seven days from now, there will be a ton more clarity. We think.

For now, as you prepare for the action-packed week ahead, a look at where we are at the moment.
