The uniforms have changed, but the dream remains the same.

Former Coupeville High School athletes Nezi Keiper and Ben Smith are competing at the college level this fall, operating in different states and different sports.

Keiper is a freshman defender on the Edmonds College women’s soccer team and brings the same rough-and-tumble playing style to the pitch which endeared her to Wolf fans.

At a recent game against Skagit Valley College, she got to run into Lauren Marrs, a fab frosh goaltender who suits up for SVC.

Marrs was a standout athlete for Coupeville in her younger days, continuing through middle school, before attending Oak Harbor High School from her freshman season on.

Across the country, Smith is a senior linebacker for Concordia University in Chicago.

He’s racked up 10 tackles, including one for a loss, while playing his first season with the Cougars.

Chasing titles, putting up wins

Things are ramping up.

As we move into the latter stages of October, fall sports teams will begin deciding league titles and making the push for the playoffs.

Or just flat out starting the postseason in some cases.

Coupeville High School cross country is the first to begin its postseason trek with an appearance this Thursday, Oct. 24 at the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships in Mount Vernon.

For the undefeated Wolf volleyball squad, there are two road trips on the docket.

A victory in Concrete Thursday will give CHS the undisputed conference crown, while a non-league rumble Saturday in Neah Bay will be a great test for a team looking to play deep into the season.

Meanwhile, the somewhat surprising Wolf soccer squad, which sits in second place in an ultra-competitive conference, travels to Friday Harbor on Tuesday, then to Lopez Island Thursday for two stiff challenges.

Rounding out things is CHS football, which celebrates Senior Night Friday when it hosts Winlock in a non-conference tilt.

Rough night, brighter future

Sometimes you hit the road, and sometimes it hit you right back.

Starting a two-week tango with teams from the vaunted Central 2B League, the Coupeville High School football team made a 298-mile round trip Friday, enduring a 55-13 loss while at Adna.

The non-conference defeat drops the Wolves to 4-3 on the season, but they have a chance to get some fairly immediate revenge.

Adna’s league mate, Winlock, which sits at 0-6 on the season, is scheduled to come to Cow Town next Friday, Oct. 25 when CHS celebrates Senior Night.

That trip comes in at 324 miles round trip, give or take an extra kilometer here or there.

Friday’s road rumble stayed close for a few minutes, as the two teams exchanged early touchdowns, while both failed to convert on the PAT.

Wolf senior Jack Porter brought back a kick return for Coupeville’s opening score, notching his sixth TD of his swan song season.

Unfortunately for the Wolves, things slipped away after that, as Adna punched in the next six touchdowns, all on the ground.

The host Pirates built a 30-6 lead after one quarter of play, then stretched the advantage out to 42-6 heading to the halftime break.

Trailing 48-6 midway through the third quarter, Coupeville finally snapped Adna’s run, thanks to Chase Anderson taking a kickoff to the house.

It was the team-best tenth score for the junior quarterback, and he tacked on the PAT to round out his team’s scoring.

From there, though, the clock continued to skip along, Adna added a final score — this one off of a punt return in the fourth quarter — and things came to a close.

After dropping back-to-back games, Coupeville will look to get back on track against Winlock, which has been outscored 265-102.

Six days later, the Wolves will close the regular season on Halloween with a trip to Friday Harbor for a Northwest 2B/1B League game which will dictate playoff positioning for CHS.

Everyone is in action, but not everyone is at home.

Two of the four fall sports teams at Coupeville High School exclusively hit the road in the week ahead, while two get to play a mixed schedule.

Wolf cross country travels to Lake Padden in Bellingham Thursday for the Lake Lap Invite, while football is off to Adna Friday for a non-conference tilt.

Meanwhile, soccer and volleyball play one at home, and one on the road.

The booters travel to Grace Academy Tuesday, before hosting Mount Vernon Christian Friday.

For the CHS spikers, it’s a road trip to MVC Tuesday, then a home tilt Thursday with La Conner in a match which looms large in the chase for a league crown.

As the buses get gassed up, a look at where things sit through Oct. 13:

Northwest League boys’ soccer:

School	League	Overall
La Conner	2-0-0	2-5-1
Orcas Island	2-0-0	8-1-0
