The game that wasn’t, then was, is now no more again.

Coupeville High School’s clash Saturday at home against 1A power Meridian has been cancelled a little over 24 hours before kickoff.

Injuries, not Covid, are the culprit.

“I just received communication from our football staff that we’ve had some mid-week injuries that leaves us with just 13 healthy bodies for this weekend’s game,” said CHS Athletic Director Willie Smith.

“Unfortunately, we are going to need to cancel tomorrow’s game.”

The match-up had only recently been added to the schedule, after Meridian’s league game with Lynden Christian was wiped from the schedule when the latter school switched to remote learning in the wake of Covid outbreaks.

Coupeville had an opening on its schedule, and moved in to replace the Lyncs, but are now also sidelined.

The Wolves, 1-3 on the season, return to action, hopefully, next Friday, Oct. 15, when they travel to La Conner for a Northwest 2B/1B League bout.

Time for some home cooking.

After a week where more events were on the road than not, Coupeville High School’s fall sports teams will get the reverse this coming week.

Boys soccer has the sweetest deal, playing at home Tuesday (La Conner), Thursday (Mount Vernon Christian), and Saturday (Providence Classical Christian).

Wolf football is at home as well, hosting Meridian Saturday in a non-conference game, while both volleyball and girls soccer have mixed schedules.

The spikers play three days in a row, starting with a home contest Tuesday against Concrete.

After that comes back-to-back road trips Wednesday and Thursday, with La Conner and MVC the respective destinations.

Girls soccer starts with a trip to Mount Vernon Tuesday, to play the C-Team of a 4A school.

After that, the Wolf booters arrive back at Mickey Clark Field Thursday for a matchup with Northwest 2B/1B League big shot Mount Vernon Christian.

The lone team to not compete at home this coming week is cross country, which takes a bus to Lakewood Saturday for the annual Hole in the Wall Invite.

Friday Harbor football dings Coupeville title hopes

Mikey Robinett (45) and Co. play three of their next four games at home.

The dream isn’t dead, but it’s on life support.

Coupeville’s bid to win its first high school football league title since 1990 took a major hit Friday night.

Run over by host Friday Harbor to a 32-6 tune, the Wolves drop to 1-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 1-3 overall.

Coupeville sits a game back of Friday Harbor (2-0, 3-2) and one up on La Conner (0-2, 0-3), with two conference tilts remaining for each team.

CHS travels to La Conner Oct. 15, then the Braves make the jaunt to Friday Harbor Oct. 22.

The season finale, bumped up to a Thursday, goes down in Coupeville Oct. 28, when the Wolves get a second crack at Friday Harbor.

With La Conner in a down season — it lost 63-0 to Friday Harbor and 51-0 to Coupeville the first time around — it seems likely the Braves, barring a miracle, are headed to an 0-4 league campaign.

If so, Friday Harbor would have clinched at least a tie for the NWL title coming in to the final week, though a Coupeville win on Senior Night would make them co-champs.

But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Friday’s game started more than an hour late, thanks to ferry issues, and that seemed to be a sign of things to come for Coupeville.

Trailing 32-0, the Wolves finally got on the board when Logan Downes plunged in on a quarterback keeper late in the fourth quarter.

With the ball in his hands, the sophomore gunslinger went right, then, dodging a would-be tackler, cut back to the left and ran over a dude to put six on the board.

It was his second TD of the season, moving him up into a third-place tie with Tim Ursu, with the duo chasing Dominic Coffman (3) and Scott Hilborn (6).

Coupeville went for a two-point conversion, but Downes ensuing pass was knocked down by Friday Harbor’s Dylan Roberson.

The Wolves had their opportunities Friday, and, if they can correct some mistakes, could put up a strong fight in the rematch.

“It was a tough, physical game,” said Coupeville coach Marcus Carr. “We moved the ball well, but had drives stopped by very untimely penalties and a few turnovers.”

The Wolves get a big test in their next game, and a break from league play, as they host 1A Meridian (3-2) Saturday, Oct. 9.

Kickoff is 7 PM.

The game is a late addition to Coupeville’s schedule, as Meridian’s original opponent, Lynden Christian, is having Covid issues.

CHS football adds home game

Reach for the heavens, and prepare for impact.

Coupeville High School has filled an open date on its football schedule, adding a home game against 1A power Meridian Saturday, Oct. 9.

The game will kickoff at 7 PM, and be part of a two-sport doubleheader at Mickey Clark Field.

That’s because the Wolf boys soccer squad also hosts Providence Classical Christian at 3 PM that day.

Meridian’s football team was slated to play league rival Lynden Christian Oct. 8, but the Lyncs cancelled the game because of Covid issues.

The Bellingham Herald reported Wednesday that Lynden Christian, which houses preschool though 12th grade on its campus, is moving all grades to remote learning after a recent surge in cases.

The addition of the game gets Coupeville back to an eight-game regular season schedule after its contest with East Jefferson earlier this season was KO’d by a wind storm which shut down the ferry system.

The Wolves, 1-0 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 1-2 overall, play at Friday Harbor Oct. 1, then get a week to prepare for Meridian, which is currently 3-1 heading into a clash with Nooksack Valley.

The Trojans opened the season with a 54-8 loss to Burlington-Edison, but have rebounded to beat Evergreen 55-6, Grandview 34-15, and Bellingham 26-14.

Meridian boasts a proud football tradition, having played in six state championship games, winning titles in 1999, 2003, and 2006 under legendary former coach Bob Ames.
