Always write your schedule in pencil, not pen.

The Coupeville School Board has moved its regular board meeting from Thursday, Oct. 26 to Monday, Oct. 30.

The event, which goes down in the Kathleen Anderson Board Room on the CHS campus, and is also livestreamed, starts at 5:30 PM.

The shift is to prevent a conflict with Coupeville High School’s Senior Night for football and cheer.

That game, originally set for Oct. 27, was recently bumped up a night thanks to a referee shortage.

Instead of playing under Friday Night Lights, the Wolves host Friday Harbor — in a game with huge playoff implications — at 4:00 PM on a Thursday afternoon.

Zane Oldenstadt? He’s a righteous dude!

“Birthday cake? For me????” (William Davidson photo)

We’re going to break our rules for a second.

Back in the early days of Coupeville Sports, I did a lot of “happy birthday” articles, until it became almost a daily ritual, and threatened to swamp everything else here at the blog.

So, last couple of years, I’ve toned it down a bit.

But this being a one-man writing experiment, I reserve the right to irritate or praise people at any given moment, with no prior notice.

Tonight, it’s a positive, as I’m busting the birthday slowdown by taking a moment to pay tribute to one Zane Oldenstadt.

I haven’t known Zane all his life like McKenzie and Caleb Meyer, or Makana Stone, but, from a relative distance, he just seems like a righteous dude.

A good kid (well, not really a kid anymore, as he turns 18 today) who plays three sports.

A young man who is personable and outgoing, deeply connected to his friends, and always willing to stop and let his mama take his photo after every game, win or loss.

And that last one is a huge positive.

Zane deeply cares whether his team wins or loses, and he brings maximum effort to every football and basketball game, and every time he tosses an implement into the prairie air during track season.

But he has the grace to know how the small moments matter to his parents, his family, and those he loves.

Plus, he recently posted pics of himself wearing a carved pumpkin on his head in various locations, and I appreciate the commitment to the craft.

So, Zane, happy birthday.

Enjoy your cake day and the rest of your senior year.

You’ve earned it.

Football Senior Night bumped up

Blame it on the refs.

Or, at least on a lack of refs.

The ongoing state-wide shortage of prep sports officials will sting Coupeville next, as the Wolves Senior Night for football and cheer is being bumped up a day.

CHS will welcome Friday Harbor to town Thursday, Oct. 26 for the regular-season gridiron finale, instead of Oct. 27 as originally planned.

Kickoff is 4:00 PM.

The game could be a big one beyond the festivities honoring Coupeville’s 12th graders.

If the Wolves take care of business this coming Friday and beat La Conner for a second time this season, the clash with Friday Harbor will have playoff implications.

If Coupeville sweeps its two remaining games, it will finish 3-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League action, claim a share of the conference crown, and force a tiebreaker with the Wolverines to determine which team advances to state.

Moving the game up a day does create multiple conflicts for Wolf fans.

CHS volleyball is scheduled to travel to Friday Harbor Oct. 26, while Wolf cross country will be at the Tri-District meet at Fort Steilacoom in Lakewood.

There is also a Coupeville School Board meeting planned for that same day.

For those who choose football, parking will be an issue thanks to the early start.

The primary parking lot for CHS football games at Mickey Clark Field is the same one used by Coupeville Elementary School, which will be wall-to-wall vehicles as school gets out for the day.

The smart call is to use the baseball parking lot and come through the back entrance to the gridiron, though those parking slots are likely to vanish quickly as well.

Gas up the busses.

Coupeville High School fall sports teams hit the road for six of their eight contests this coming week.

Cross country heads to Mount Vernon Christian Thursday for the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships, while football plays under Friday Night Lights at La Conner.

Meanwhile, Wolf soccer sends its JV team to MVC Monday, then its varsity squad to Lopez Island Wednesday afternoon.

Senior Night at home against La Conner Friday wraps up a busy week for the booters.

CHS volleyball also plays three times, kicking things off with a home match Monday against Providence Classical Christian.

A day later the Wolves travel to Seattle to tangle with The Bush School, before heading to the wilds of Darrington Thursday to put a cap on things.
