Two months from now, they’ll be getting ready to play games again.

School doesn’t start until Aug. 31, and Coupeville Middle School doesn’t kick off its football and volleyball seasons until late Sept., but it’s never too early to run schedules.

I mean, what else are we going to do with our time here in mid-July?

So, here you go, something to look forward to, then.

And, an interesting side note — any affiliation with the 1A/2A Cascade Conference is truly gone.

Last year, CHS moved into the 1A Olympic League, but CMS continued to play games against schools such as King’s and Langley.

No more, as this year’s schedules are awash in Port Townsend and Chimacum, with Forks, Sequim and a newcomer, Stevens (from Port Angeles) tossed into the mix.

New year, new rivalries.

CMS fall sports schedules, as they sit on July 19:

FOOTBALL:

Wed-Sept. 23 Stevens
Wed-Sept. 30 Port Townsend
Wed-Oct. 7 @ Chimacum
Wed-Oct. 14 Sequim
Wed-Oct. 21 @ Forks
Wed-Oct. 28 @ Port Townsend

VOLLEYBALL:

Mon-Sept. 21 Chimacum
Thur-Sept. 24 @ Stevens
Mon-Sept. 28 Forks
Thur-Oct. 1 Sequim
Mon-Oct. 5 @ Port Townsend
Thur-Oct. 8 @ Chimacum
Mon-Oct. 12 Stevens
Thur-Oct. 15 @ Forks
Mon-Oct. 19 @ Sequim

Learn to love the road.

Looking ahead at fall sports schedules for Coupeville High School (hey, the first day of practice is Aug. 19, just a month away), that’s the theme.

Unless things change (always possible), three of the four Wolf teams (football, volleyball, girls’ soccer) will play more games on the road than at home.

The only team that currently has more home matches than road trips is the CHS boys’ tennis squad, and that’s deceptive, because that’s also the only team that obviously doesn’t have a finished schedule.

Little quirks to look forward to:

Wolf volleyball will be the first team to play in front of fans sitting on the newly-installed bleachers in the CHS gym, when it hosts South Whidbey Sept. 8.

By the time football plays at home, we’ll be firmly into the cold season, as the Wolf gridiron squad plays its first FOUR games away from Coupeville.

Schedules as they stand on July 18 (* = league game, and there is no way the tennis schedule is complete, so there’s that):

Mr. Smooth hits a cake day!!

Posted in Football, Happy birthday, Track, tagged CHS Wolves, football, Happy birthday, Mitchell Carroll, Track on July 17, 2015| Leave a Comment »

Kid’s got moves.

Coupeville High School junior Mitchell Carroll, who celebrates a birthday today, is one of the slickest Wolves on campus.

Whether on the football field or the track oval, the multi-sport threat can turn on the afterburners and leave his foes grasping at air.

On the gridiron, he played both ways as a sophomore.

On a team deep in talent, Carroll finished 8th in total yards and 18th in tackles, and those numbers could take a large spike if he gets more playing time this fall.

During track season, he flexed some muscle (as depicted in the photo montage above) to go with the speed.

Occasionally working as a sprinter and relay runner, Mitchell excelled as a jumper, making his mark in all three events (triple, long and high jump).

Plus, he still found time to be a member of the school’s Homecoming royalty and has been known to grace the Honor Roll.

Not bad, and he’s still got two years to set the school afire.

So, from all of us at Coupeville Sports, happy birthday, Mr. Carroll!

Keep aiming for excellence and none of us will be surprised when you go blazing by, like a bright, shining star.

Cause that’s what you are.

He’s just a good dude!!

Jose Marcos

Jose Marcos is a young man on the rise.

A strong two-sport (soccer, football) athlete, he’s one of those kids who plays his heart out on the field, then reverts to being an easy-going, friendly guy once the game is done.

Watching him interact with his soccer mates in the stands before and after games, you can see his sunny personality shine through. He’s just a good dude.

As Jose celebrates a birthday today, we want to wish him all the best.

May cake rain down on you all day long.

And, for those who want to know a bit more about him, pop over and take a look at this story I wrote back in early 2014:

Now you know. And knowing is half the battle.

Two sports, twice the awesomeness!!

Posted in Baseball, Football, Happy birthday, tagged baseball, CHS Wolves, football, Halo, Happy birthday, Julian Welling on June 22, 2015| Leave a Comment »

Julian Welling is ready to make the same impact on the football field that he has already done on the baseball diamond. (John Fisken photos)

Welling hangs out at a Wolf basketball game with Katrina McGranahan (center) and Mckenzie Meyer.

Julian Welling is ready for the spotlight.

Today he celebrates his 15th birthday (happy cake day, Jo Jo!).

Tomorrow, he returns to preparing for his sophomore year at Coupeville High School.

A two-sport athlete for the Wolves, Welling has already been a huge hit for the CHS baseball squad.

Scrappy in the field and at the plate, he started a number of games at third base last season, including the team’s playoff game, joining Hunter Smith as the leaders of an extremely promising group of freshman ballplayers.

And while baseball is his favorite (“It’s what I do!”) and has taken him the furthest so far — he’s been playing travel baseball since he was an eight-year-old in Florida — football is coming up fast.

Welling first stepped on the gridiron when he was five, eventually putting in four seasons before taking a brief break to focus on baseball.

Now, he’s doing both, and doing well at both.

In brief comments fired off from between workouts at a football camp the Wolf team is attending, Welling said he enjoyed playing defense (“Mostly, hitting is my favorite”) and wants to continue to work on fine-tuning his skill set.

“I would like to work on my blocking and speed,” Welling said. “I think my best ability is being able to read the line.”

He credits his parents for shaping him (thereby winning him crucial points at a time when they would be considering getting him birthday cake) and has a wide array of interests away from sports.

If he’s not playing baseball or football, Welling can be found hunkered down playing Halo, smacking the drums or watching funny movies.

Regardless of what he’s doing, the rising young star has a simple outlook at what’s to come.

“Over the next few years, I would like to be a better student and teammate,” Welling said.
