Back to practice for them.

Just as the weather finally flirts with an actual springtime feel, the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis squad finds itself with a hole in the schedule.

The Wolves have a 10-day break between matches, not wielding rackets against another team until May 2, when they travel to Friday Harbor.

Filling the gap (slightly) is this collection of photos, which come to us courtesy Brionna Blouin and John Fisken.

Fire up the busses

Other than the weather, CHS fans have had plenty to be happy about this spring.

Is the price of gas going to drop?

That’s the question on the mind of Coupeville High School Athletic Director Willie Smith, as Wolf spring sports teams hit the road for five of seven contests next week.

Girls’ tennis has the week off — from competition, if not practice — but baseball, softball, and track and field all will listen to the sound of the wheels on the bus goin’ round ‘n round.

Baseball and softball travel to Concrete Tuesday and Darrington Thursday, before closing out the week at home Saturday against La Conner.

That weekend doubleheader is Senior Night for the Wolf diamond players, with both games set to start at 1:00 PM.

Meanwhile, the CHS track team, or part of it at least, travels to Lakewood Saturday for the Sunny and 70 Invitational, the final meet before the postseason kicks off.

Based on “spring” weather so far, it’ll be cloudy, windy, wet and 45 degrees, no matter what the event is called.

As we head into a new week, a look at current standings for teams which keep track of wins and losses:

Northwest League baseball:

School	League	Overall
MV Christian	10-1	10-3
Coupeville	9-1	11-4
Friday Harbor	6-3	6-5
Orcas Island	5-6	8-6
Darrington	4-6	5-6
La Conner	1-9	2-11
Concrete	0-9	0-9

Northwest League girls tennis:

School	League	Overall
Coupeville	2-0	2-4
Friday Harbor	0-2	0-2

Northwest League softball:

School	League	Overall
Coupeville	7-1	10-5
Friday Harbor	6-1	9-4
Darrington	5-1	6-2
Orcas Island	3-5	3-9
La Conner	1-6	1-12
Concrete	0-8	0-10

It’s the coaching life for them

Coaching is an art, and the men and women leading Coupeville High School spring sports programs are painting masterpieces.

Baseball, softball, and girls’ tennis are all in the mix for league titles, while track and field has big numbers and bigger talent.

As we work our way through the regular season and heads towards the postseason, a look at some of those coaches in their natural habitat.

Wolf softball coaches, buffeted by the prairie wind, dream about a covered stadium.

The brain trust behind the successful CHS track squad, which has its deepest roster in years.

Ken Stange has coached for two decades, and he’s got wisdom for Hayley Fiedler and Vivian Farris. “Hit the ball where they ain’t!”

Morgan Payne ponders getting a shave, or flashes a sign. It’s the trickery of baseball.

Kevin McGranahan points out where he wants his players to go. “Home! I want you to score!!”

Netters capture gut-check win

It was a nail-biter that went the right way.

Sparked by a big win at #3 doubles Friday from Kaitlyn Leavell and Brynn Parker, the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis squad held off visiting Friday Harbor 3-2.

The victory lifts the Wolves to 2-0 in Northwest 2B/1B League play and helps them clinch at least a tie for the conference title.

Coupeville, which is 2-4 overall, with all its losses to bigger schools, has two chances to capture the crown outright.

The Wolves can add to coach Ken Stange’s considerable stash of plaques when they travel to Friday Harbor May 2.

If not then, CHS can also do it May 12, when they welcome the Wolverines to Whidbey on Senior Night.

Friday’s clash featured wins for Coupeville’s top singles player and #1 doubles duo.

Helen Strelow ran her record to 6-0 on the season, polishing off her opponent in straight sets, while fellow seniors Hayley Fiedler and Vivian Farris fought their way to the W as well.

But it was Leavell and Parker with the statement win, going the distance and pulling out a 12-10 decision in a third-set tiebreaker.
