Once unleashed, they couldn’t be stopped.

A mere 12 days after the season-opening jamboree, the Coupeville High School girls soccer team finally got to play a regular game Thursday night.

At which point the Wolves promptly brought the home fans to their feet with a stirring 4-2 win over Northwest 2B/1B League rival La Conner.

Coupeville jumped on the visiting Braves with an early goal, but found themselves trailing 2-1 at the half.

Responding to whatever words of wisdom were sent their way by coach Kyle Nelson, the Wolves responded, raining down scores after the break.

“It took us awhile to get into full game mode, but the second half was ours,” Nelson said.

Coupeville got goals from a trio of shooters, with senior Audrianna Shaw leading the way with a pair of scores.

Sophie Martin and Eryn Wood also hit the back of the net, with all three players looking to make a move up the CHS career scoring chart.

Thursday’s goal was the sixth in a Wolf uniform for Martin, who moves into a tie with Mallory Kortuem at #10 on the all-time list.

Five CHS girls have tallied double-digit scoring, ranging from Mia Littlejohn with 35 goals to Avalon Renninger, who punched in 12.

Wood has four career goals for the high school program, with Shaw sitting with three.

Saturday game site changed:

Coupeville returns to action Saturday with a road non-conference game against East Jefferson.

The game was originally set for Memorial Stadium in Port Townsend, but the field has a conflict, so things have been moved to Chimacum High School.

That school is located at 91 W. Valley Rd. in Chimacum.

Game time is 11 AM.

Crushing the South Whidbey Record without even trying.

Thanks to the recent plot development of wanderin’ photo whiz kid John Fisken snapping more pics of Falcon sports teams than usual, Coupeville Sports is fast becoming your primary source for looks at south end athletes in action.

This time around, it’s South Whidbey’s JV girls soccer team in action against Oak Harbor.

I don’t know names for most of the Falcon girls shown here, but I rarely, if ever, turn down free photos.

So, here you go.

And when you’re done here, consider popping over to Fisken’s web site and taking a look at everything he shot from the game.

“Onward to goal-scoring immortality!”

“I’ll just sneak right past you here. Pay no mind to me.”

“And where do you think you’re going, Mr. Soccer Ball?”

Kuschnereit uses her Jedi skills to make the ball hover above the pitch.

Falcons break on through to the other side

Wrong school, wrong colors.

And yet, here we are, a blog called Coupeville Sports featuring a parade of South Whidbey High School photos.

Strange times…

Or the fact I almost always say yes when people give me free pics.

So, in between snapping photos of Coupeville girls soccer and volleyball teams competing at this weekend’s Oak Harbor Jamboree, John Fisken also came away with glossy portraits of Falcon athletes in the same sports.

And with the South Whidbey Record having published just one sports story since mid-May, he rightfully offered said photos up to the only Whidbey media site still covering sports on a regular basis.

Which would be my blog, which has published 267 articles (for real) during that same time frame.

Like what you see and/or want to purchase any photos from Fisken?

It’s the pitch life for them

A new season dawns.

Playing hurry-up, then wait, the Coupeville High School girls soccer team kicked off the fall with an appearance Saturday at the Oak Harbor Jamboree.

Now, after playing two mini-games, the Wolves head back to practice, with their first regular-season game not until Sept. 16.

That match-up will be a home contest against Northwest 2B/1B League rival La Conner and will signal the real beginning of a 13-game season.

Saturday, Coupeville had a chance to face two opponents from larger schools, falling to 3A Oak Harbor and drawing with 1A Meridian.

“We started the first game with some first-game jitters, and a bit of a sleepy approach,” CHS coach Kyle Nelson said. “But we woke up for the second game.

“Really just a great opportunity to get out and play some soccer against some tough opponents in the early season.”

Mary Milnes fires off a cannon shot.

It’s a rumble at mid-field.

Goalkeeper Katelin McCormick is Coupeville’s last line of defense.

A new season, and the possibilities are endless.

Forever a hard worker, high achiever

Work hard in silence. Let success be your noise.

Having done the former, Emily (May) Rose is hopefully enjoying the latter.

The 2017 Coupeville High School grad has gone from selling sweet, sweet soft serve at Oak Harbor’s Dairy Queen during her teen years, to rocking the world of big business.

Having earned a B.A. in Business Administration with a minor in applied advertising and strategic communications from Washington State University, Emily is now off to join the management trainee program with Enterprise.

That follows on the heels of raking in sales for Alta Marketing, as she juggled all the parts of her busy life with the same skill she once brought to the soccer pitch.

A perfect complementary player, Emily played at midfielder and forward for the Wolves, providing an often-potent scoring touch with a willingness to do whatever was necessary for the betterment of her team.

While she played alongside some of the biggest names in CHS girls soccer history, her impact was noticed by those down on the pitch.

“She was so overlooked by many, and yet she always worked hard,” said a former teammate, who bumped me in the direction of inducting Emily into the Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame.

It was an easy decision, as I already had her on my master list of former Wolves worthy of being immortalized in our lil’ digital shrine.

But knowing others out there, and especially those who played alongside Emily, felt the same way, really tips the scales in her favor.

Emily’s four goals as a CHS booter — three as a junior and a final tally as a senior — ties her on the all-time CHS girls scoring list with Hayley Waterman and Erin Rosenkranz.

That’s a quality trio there, as both of those older-school Wolves are among the best to ever pull on a Coupeville uniform, while also being truly brilliant scholars who have been highly-successful in real life.

Like her counterparts in the four-goal club, Emily was never the focal point of her team’s offensive plan.

Instead, she put in the work, grinding and putting herself in the right places at the right time.

Emily could scramble and scrap and fight for 50/50 balls, and, given the chance, she had a nimble scoring touch.

Through it all, as her former teammate attested to, she never coasted, and should feel justifiably proud of her prep sports career.

Now, as she rapidly climbs the real-world business ladder of success, her work ethic, her commitment, her inner strength, are all being highlighted and recognized.

So I’m more than happy to induct Emily into the Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame, and, after this, you’ll be able to find her hanging around under the Legends tab at the top of the blog.

Well, symbolically at least.

In real life, Emily is not the type to rest on her laurels or past glory.

Instead, she’s boldly achieving success and impressing folks with each new day, a high achiever who shines as brightly as her smile did when she stalked the prairie pitch.
