“It’s going to be such a great season!!”

Flip the calendar and refocus your mind.

August has arrived, which means, in less than three weeks, practice officially begins for fall high school sports.

No, it’s true. I swear.

Aug. 15 is the first day high school football teams can take the field in Washington state, while Aug. 20 is the kickoff date for volleyball, cross country, cheer, boys tennis and girls soccer.

With a new season, and a new school year, also comes a new league.

After a four-year run in the Olympic League, Coupeville joins Granite Falls, Sultan, Cedar Park Christian (Bothell), King’s and arch-rival South Whidbey in the North Sound Conference.

As they count down the days until the first practice, several Wolves (and one enterprising Falcon) drop by to let you know their thoughts and feelings, their goals and plans.

 

Ja’Tarya Hoskins (CHS junior):

My new goals for the cheer season are to learn and perform a lot of new stunts. Help spread cheer and Coupeville Wolves spirit.

 

Lily Leedy (CHS freshman):

To work better as a team. Learn plays and to show the opponent who’s boss.

 

Kody Newman (SWHS senior):

Very excited for this year’s conference! But most importantly…. THE BUCKET GAME!!!

Not only is it the biggest game of the Island, but it is also our Homecoming game! Ticket sales are sure to be raised for this game!!! Falcons are coming for revenge!

Best of luck this year to the Wolves and hopefully King’s does terrible, lol!

 

Lucy Sandahl (CHS junior):

My goal for the new season is to play every game with a new mind-set and put all the bad plays behind me and focus on the next point.

Another thing that I am looking forward to is getting to see how well our team adapts to all the new plays and players after having lost seven really strong seniors.

This new league has so much hype, but so do we; we’ve won two back-to-back league champs.

What makes them think we can’t do it again? We are strong, faster, and mentally unstoppable.

The only way we are going to get through this is together and it is going to be such a great season!!! I am so excited!

 

Emma Smith (CHS senior):

We want a winning season!!

Playing as a unit instead of six individuals is something we’ve been working on since last year, and is extremely crucial for us to do considering we pretty much have a new starting six.

We also want to go into the season confident in our skills and without the fear of “big, bad King’s.”

Before every new high school sports season begins, photo day is a time-honored ritual.

John Fisken hoists his camera and madly clicks away, getting a pic of every girl and boy who will be in uniform for the Wolves — or at least every one who remembers to show up for photo day.

Then he’s nice enough to send them my way.

As the season progresses, I sprinkle those portraits across the top of numerous stories.

But, without fail, especially during a busy season like fall, with volleyball, tennis, soccer, cheer and football, there will be some which haven’t seen the light of day.

So, today, I offer up a mixture of portraits, which, for whatever reason, haven’t had their moment in the spotlight until now.

Sort of spring cleaning, just in late fall.

Your Booster Club needs you (yes, you)!!

Ask not what Wolf athletes can do for you, ask what you can do for Wolf athletes.

With a new school year up and rolling, now is a perfect time to jump on the bandwagon and join the Coupeville Booster Club.

Get in while the gettin’ is good, before the annual crab-chompin’ shindig hits town, and get that warm glow in your chest.

There are multiple levels of commitment, up to and including donating your time by serving on the club’s inner circle.

Your basic membership levels:

$25 — Wolf Backer

$50 — Individual

$75 — Family

$125 — Business (includes Wolf flag perfect for hanging in the window of said establishment)

Or, you can make a donation, sponsor a scholarship, contribute an item for the auction during the annual Crab Feed or help in a billion other ways.

Why do so?

Because, if Wolf sports are like a body, the Coupeville Booster Club is the spine, the thing holding everything together and giving it purpose.

It’s an invaluable resource for CHS and CMS coaches, athletes, parents and fans which funds scholarships, buys varsity letters, provides snacks for teams stuck on long bus and ferry trips and clothes Wolf coaches in snazzy polo shirts.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg for what the Booster Club accomplishes.

From helping put on the Homecoming parade to funding the Wall of Fame we raised in the high school gym, the list goes on and on.

To join, there’s a couple of quick and easy options.

You can talk to them at home football games or mail a check (written to “Coupeville Booster Club”) to P.O. Box 452, Coupeville, WA 98239.

Or, you can grab your credit or debit card and pop over to the Club’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/coupevilleboosterclub/

Genna Wright, sharpshooter, reporting for duty!!

Genna Wright is wasting no time.

While her first day of school as a Coupeville High School freshman is still five days away, the youngest member of the Wright family athletic dynasty is already nabbing headlines.

The irrepressible Genna, youngest of four siblings, banked home a goal in her high school debut Thursday, providing the biggest highlight for the Wolf girls soccer team at a season-opening three-team jamboree.

Coupeville fought to a scoreless tie with fellow 1A rival South Whidbey, then fell 3-1 to host Oak Harbor, a large 3A school, in shortened games.

“A good showing for our first outing,” said CHS coach Kyle Nelson. “(Genna had) a nice goal from a little distance, well placed in the upper right.”

The Wolves open the regular season Thursday, Sept. 7, when they travel to Langley for a rematch with South Whidbey.

The non-conference tilt against the Falcons kicks off at 6 PM.

This time it’s right (maybe)!!

Schedules are tricky things.

Jump back some 78 days and I was brave (or naive) enough to publish the first batch of fall sports schedules for Coupeville High School.

Of course, just as I suspected, stuff has changed. A few little tweaks here, a few radical detours there.

So now, as we sit less than 72 hours away from the first official game of the 2017-2018 school sports year, here’s the revamped, buffed ‘n shined version of the fall sports schedules.

Will things continue to change? Without a doubt.

After this, weather will play a big part in how smoothly the tennis schedule plays out.

And, of course, we live on an Island that gets a fair amount of wind and relies on ferries, so…

Use this as a guide, but keep on eye on http://coupeville.tandem.co/ and http://www.olympicleague.com/ for updates.
