They’re out there, if you look hard enough.

With their home stomping grounds out of service this spring as new courts are built, Coupeville High School netters are on a season-long road trip.

But enterprising yearbook photographers tracked down their fellow Wolves playing at South Whidbey, and the pics above and below come to us courtesy them.

One eye on weather forecast, one eye on the standings

If Mother Nature plays nice, everyone will be busy bees.

Coupeville High School spring sports teams have full schedules next week, and weather is the only thing which might slow the roll of the Wolves.

If rain stays in the skies, and not falling in large amounts, all four CHS teams have events on the horizon.

Wolf track, which will likely compete, regardless of the weather, is slated to travel to Mount Vernon Thursday, Mar. 28 for a Northwest 2B/1B League meet.

Meanwhile, the Coupeville netters, who need more help from the weather gods, are planning a trip to Seattle Mar. 27 to square off with The Bush School in a non-conference rumble.

Both Wolf diamond squads are hoping to be super busy, as well.

Softball is set to travel to Orcas Mar. 26 and Concrete Mar. 29, before hosting Onalaska Mar. 30 for a doubleheader.

Finally, CHS baseball bounces all over the place, weather permitting.

The JV diamond dogs are in Oak Harbor Mar. 25, while the varsity goes to Orcas the next day, hosts Sequim the day after that, then travels to Concrete Mar. 29 and welcomes South Whidbey to Cow Town Mar. 30.

With one eye on the weather forecast, and one eye on the standings, here’s where things sit, win/loss wise, through Mar. 24.

And yes, though it violates the very nature of baseball, that tie for La Conner baseball, a 13-13 non-conference stalemate with Sedro-Woolley, is real.

 

Northwest League baseball:

School League Overall
Friday Harbor 2-0 2-2
Concrete 1-0 2-0
La Conner 1-0 4-0-1
Coupeville 1-1 2-3
MV Christian 1-1 2-3
Darrington 0-2 0-2
Orcas Island 0-2 2-3

 

Northwest League girls’ tennis:

School League Overall
Friday Harbor 1-0 1-0
Coupeville 0-1 0-2

 

Northwest League softball:

School League Overall
Darrington 2-0 2-1
Coupeville 1-0 2-0
Friday Harbor 1-1 1-4
Concrete 0-1 0-2
La Conner 0-1 0-4
Orcas Island 0-1 0-5

Net crew gains valuable experience

Some days are more about growth, and less about wins and losses.

Friday was one of those afternoons, as two high school tennis programs in very different places found a way to meet in the middle.

Granite Falls has more than twice as many students as Coupeville, and that carries over to its net program, where the Tigers have 24 girls wielding rackets.

The Wolves, who have brand new coaches and no home matches on the schedule as they wait for new courts to be built, have eight players.

And one of those netters was MIA Friday as the two teams dodged rain drops and played a different format than normal.

To give Granite Falls a chance for both its varsity and JV to see action, Coupeville’s players each squared off with two opponents, playing a set apiece instead of the normal best two-of-three.

While keeping the Tigers busy, the format also allowed a very-young Wolf squad to get plenty of court time.

“It was more of a coaching style match to help our newer players to tennis get more comfortable playing more of a variety of opponents,” said CHS assistant coach Starla Seal.

Along the way, the Wolves captured their first wins of the season, with 8th grader Tenley Stuurmans and sophomore Brynn Parker standing tall.

 

Friday’s results:

1st Singles — Tenley Stuurmans lost to Giorgia Felizzuni 6-2; beat Gola Paolikova 6-0

2nd Singles — Brynn Parker lost to Samantha Hagman 6-3; beat Audrey Vanwinkle 6-1

3rd Singles — Kaitlyn Leavell lost to Hailey Granger 6-2; lost to Samantha Hagman 6-4

1st Doubles — Stuurmans/Parker beat Luanne Thurston/Vanwinkle 6-1; beat Ari Dimitrova/Alisha Wright 6-3

2nd Doubles — Kauri Hamilton/Sofia Phay lost to Dimitrova/Ava Combs 6-0; lost to Brooke Mann/Marjorie Garcia 6-1

3rd Doubles — Delanie Lewis/Rafaela Silva De Campos Conceicao lost to Ashlee Meusling/Wright 6-0; lost to Mann/Garcia 6-2; lost to Hailey Grangley/Yolanda P. 6-3

We’re in the thick of things now.

Spring sports are fully up and going, and the week ahead presents Coupeville High School fans with many viewing options.

Wolf baseball is at home twice, hosting Friday Harbor Tuesday, then welcoming Mount Vernon Christian to town Friday.

Meanwhile CHS softball has a split schedule.

The diamond women host Friday Harbor Tuesday, then travel to Blaine for the first of three-straight games on the road.

Track and field have a similar setup, hosting a Northwest 2B/1B League meet Wednesday, before venturing off to Stanwood Saturday for a freshman/sophomore invitational.

And Wolf girls’ tennis?

The netters are on the road all season, as they wait for new tennis courts to be finished.

Next week sees Coupeville’s hardcourt warriors visiting Granite Falls Friday.

As things really begin to heat up, a look at where early win/loss records sit through Mar. 17:

They’re making do with a limited roster.

The Coupeville High School girls’ tennis team only has eight players this season, and through the first two matches, the Wolves have yet to field a full lineup.

Friday afternoon brought the CHS road warriors to Friday Harbor, where they were without Skylar Parker and Kaitlyn Leavell, who played first and second singles in the season’s opening match.

Moving people around, and welcoming the debut of Tenley Stuurmans, Delanie Lewis, and Sofia Phay, Coupeville put up a spirited fight in a 4-0 loss.

The defeat drops the Wolves to 0-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 0-2 overall.

CHS, which is playing all 10 of its matches away from home this season as new tennis courts are built, returns to action Mar. 22 with a trek to the wilds of Granite Falls.

 

Friday’s results:

1st Singles — Brynn Parker lost to Georgia Keune 6-0, 6-2

2nd Singles — Tenley Stuurmans lost to Ava Martin 6-2, 6-4

1st Doubles — Delanie Lewis/Rafaela Silva De Campos Conceicao lost to Norah Leighton/Ava Gamez 6-2, 6-1

2nd Doubles — Kaurie Hamilton/Sofia Phay lost to Charisse Ho/Josephine Lane 6-3
