We’re five weeks away from the first game.

Summer, in all its muggy glory, is still in charge, but fall sports are not that far off for Coupeville High School athletes, coaches, and fans.

The first day of practice for football is Aug. 21, with soccer, cross country, cheer, and volleyball kicking things off Aug. 26.

The first game arrives Friday, Sept. 6 when the gridiron squad welcomes Annie Wright to Cow Town for a non-conference clash. After that, we’re back at it full-bore.

As you plan ahead, here’s what the schedules look like as of today, with * indicating a Northwest 2B/1B League game.

Everybody’s got a different setup.

A look at mostly official schedules for Coupeville High School fall sports teams showcase a variety of quirks based on which Northwest 2B/1B League schools play a certain sport.

How it breaks down, with * indicating a conference clash:

BOYS SOCCER:

Concrete and Darrington don’t suit up in this sport, while four outside schools — Lopez Island, Providence Classical Christian, Grace Academy, and Cedar Park Christian-Lynnwood — join the NWL for just boys’ soccer.

Coupeville has a 12-game schedule, but while all of the opponents are league foes, only one game against each rival counts in the conference standings.

So, first four tilts are treated as non-league affairs, with the final eight counting towards playoff seeding.

Tue-Sept. 12 — Friday Harbor — (4:00)
Fri-Sept. 15 — Providence Classical Christian — (6:00)
Tue-Sept. 19 — @ Grace Academy — (3:30)
Sat-Sept. 23 — Orcas Island — (12:00)
Fri-Sept. 29 — Cedar Park Christian-Lynnwood — (6:00) *
Tue-Oct. 3 — @ Mount Vernon Christian — (4:00) *
Fri-Oct. 6 — Grace Academy — (6:00) *
Tue-Oct. 10 — @ Friday Harbor — (4:30) *
Fri-Oct. 13 — @ Providence Classical Christian — (3:30) *
Tue-Oct. 17 — @ Lopez Island — (2:30) *
Fri-Oct. 20 — La Conner — (6:00) * — SENIOR NIGHT
Tue-Oct. 24 — @ Orcas Island — (3:00) *

CROSS COUNTRY:

The Wolves run at “home” once, but otherwise are road warriors.

Sat-Sept. 9 — @ Sehome Invitational — (10:00)
Sat-Sept. 16 — @ Westling Invitational (South Whidbey) — (10:00)
Wed-Sept. 20 — @ Orcas Island — (3:00)
Sat-Sept. 23 — @ King’s Invite — (1:00)
Wed-Sept. 27 — HOME meet (Fort Casey) — (3:30)
Sat-Sept. 30 — @ Twilight Invite (Marysville) — (TBD)
Sat-Oct. 7 — @ Hole in the Wall (Lakewood) — (9:00)
Thur-Oct. 19 — @ Northwest 2B/1B League Championships (MVC) — (3:30)

FOOTBALL:

The current setup of the NWL has three 2A schools and four 1A institutions, with Coupeville playing home and away with La Conner and Friday Harbor as it attempts to defend its league crown.

Sat-Aug. 26 — @ Sultan Jamboree — (11:00)
Fri-Sept. 1 — Klahowya — (6:00)
Fri-Sept. 8 — @ South Whidbey — (7:00) — BUCKET GAME
