Fight for fall supremacy rages

It’s a donnybrook.

As we continue to stumble through a pandemic-altered fall sports season — which is running after spring this time around — pretty much everyone in the Northwest 2B/1B League is having success.

Well, except for Friday Harbor, which is sitting out the season…

But, other than the quarantine-lovin’ Wolverines, the battle for the most varsity team wins is a hotly-contested affair.

Coupeville, which rolled to a blowout victory during spring sports, still leads the pack, with eight wins spread out among its volleyball, girls and boys soccer, and football teams.

But, La Conner and Mount Vernon Christian are on the rise, with seven W’s apiece, while Orcas Island has six.

Concrete and Darrington are finding less success, with each school nabbing just a single win across the four fall sports to post win/loss records.

Cross country doesn’t roll that way, and Friday Harbor’s exit means Coupeville hasn’t been able to pick up any boys tennis victories.

The week ahead offers up a mix of contests — if the schedule plays out as planned, which has been highly-questionable in recent days.

Coupeville boys soccer is set to travel to Mount Vernon Christian Tuesday, then host NWL interloper Providence Classical Christian Thursday.

Meanwhile, Wolf girls soccer goes to MVC Wednesday, while cross country makes the same trip Friday afternoon.

Rounding out the schedule, next Saturday offers up a road game, with football playing Neah Bay in Forks, and a home affair — Senior Night for volleyball against Concrete.

Pitch stars try new game

Pitch action was on tap Saturday, but with a twist.

Taking a break from regular games, the three Northwest 2B/1B League schools currently playing girls soccer gathered in Mount Vernon for a 3 v 3 tourney.

Splitting his available players into two teams, Coupeville coach Kyle Nelson had a chance to see his players prosper in a different environment.

“A decent day. Back to more typical soccer weather,” he said. “It was a good day to get everyone some time out on the field.”

Both of Coupeville’s teams split a pair of games in group play, then advanced to face each other in the knockout round.

After the “red” team won the inter-team tussle, the winning Wolves faced off with top-seeded Mount Vernon Christian in the semifinals.

While CHS fell 5-2 in that game, “they gave MVC a competitive game,” Nelson said.

Coupeville’s “red” team consisted of Lily Leedy, Ava Mitten, Sophie Martin, Audrianna Shaw, and Camryn Clark.

The Wolves (1-1 on the season) return to regular game play next week, traveling back to Mount Vernon Wednesday, April 28 to face off with the Hurricanes, who sit atop the NWL standings.

Fall teams fight for supremacy

Posted in standings, tagged , , , , , , on April 18, 2021| Leave a Comment »

It’s a war so far.

With fall sports up and going — at least where Covid is not making teams sit right back down — the race for the most team varsity wins is a close one.

While Coupeville thoroughly dominated the spring sports which kept win/loss records, fall is a three-way battle.

The Wolves, who have at least one league victory in four sports — boys and girls soccer, football, and volleyball — are tied with La Conner with six wins total, while Mount Vernon Christian has five.

Orcas Island offers up three wins, all in boys soccer, while Concrete has one, and Darrington remains winless thus far.

Friday Harbor is actually winless as well, but, with all its fall programs shut down by a rise in positive Covid cases on San Juan Island, they’re not really a factor.

The week ahead offers a mix of games for Coupeville, with one constant — they’re all on the road.

Girls soccer is the only Wolf program set to play more than once, with a road game Friday at La Conner, followed by a 3 vs 3 mini-tourney Saturday at Mount Vernon Christian.

Meanwhile, boys soccer travels to Grace Academy Wednesday, volleyball and cross country will be on Orcas Friday, and football meets Lummi Nation Saturday night.

That last one is a non-conference clash, rare this time around as almost all Age of Coronavirus games are being played against league foes.

 

Standings through April 18:

 

Northwest League boys soccer:

School League Overall
Orcas Island 3-0-0 3-0-0
Coupeville 1-0-0 1-0-0
MV Christian 2-1-0 2-1-0
CPC-Lynnwood 2-2-0 2-2-0
La Conner 1-1-1 1-1-1
PC Christian 1-3-0 1-3-0
Grace Academy 0-3-1 0-3-1

 

Northwest League football:

School League Overall
Coupeville 1-1 1-1
La Conner 1-1 1-1
Concrete 0-0 0-2
Darrington 0-0 1-1

Hurricanes rain pain on Wolves

Speed kills.

Unable to slow down a much-quicker Mount Vernon Christian squad, the Coupeville High School girls soccer team endured a rough game Saturday afternoon.

The visiting Hurricanes hit like a … well, hurricane, deluging the Wolves in goals en route to a 9-0 win.

The loss evens Coupeville’s record at 1-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play.

MVC benefited from a bit of luck, taking advantage of several caroms which bounced perfectly, but also dominated in every aspect of play.

The Hurricanes, who racked up six of their goals in the first half, with the opening score coming less than two minutes into play, are a talented bunch of sharpshooters.

But, while he wasn’t thrilled about the final score, Coupeville coach Kyle Nelson was pleased with how his team rebounded in the second half.

“They didn’t drop their heads after the break, and played competitively with a good team with a lot of quality players,” he said.

“We still have two more games with them, and we have a solid chance if we can match their intensity.”

It was the season-opener for MVC, while Coupeville was coming off of a 4-0 win over La Conner.

With Friday Harbor sitting out this season in all sports after a spike in Covid cases, those three teams are the only ones playing girls soccer.

The Wolves hit the road to play La Conner April 23 and MVC April 28, then come back home to play the same squads May 3 and 7, respectively, during a pandemic-shortened campaign.

While Coupeville couldn’t crack the Hurricane defense for a score, it did have several decent shots on goal, with a booming kick from Carolyn Lhamon coming the closest to splashing home.

On defense, Nezi Keiper, Audrianna Shaw, and Co. put up a good fight in a losing cause.
