Time for the fireworks.

The regular season is done, league champs are crowned, and it’s nothing but playoff action from here on out.

Three of Coupeville’s four spring sports teams are still alive heading into next week, with two in action.

Girls’ tennis sends two singles players and two doubles teams to Bi-Districts Friday, May 19 in Seattle, where the Wolves will try and punch some tickets to the state championships.

CHS baseball plays the next day, making its first appearance at state since 2014.

The location of that game and opponent will be announced Sunday when the seeding committee reveals its work.

Coupeville’s track and field team is also off to state, but not until the following week, with the last meet of the season set for May 25-27.

The bench is going to be a little bare next season.

The Coupeville High School girls’ tennis team celebrated Senior Night Friday, and seven of 11 players on the roster will depart.

The Wolves, who are also losing longtime coach Ken Stange, honored five seniors and two foreign exchange students under sunny skies.

Snapping away was cameraman John Fisken, who delivers us the pics seen above and below.

You couldn’t ask for a closer rivalry.

Four times Coupeville and Friday Harbor’s girls’ tennis teams clashed this season, and all four matches ended with the same 3-2 score.

The Wolves won the first two, while the Wolverines rebounded to claim the second pair, including Friday’s regular-season finale on Whidbey Island.

In doing so, Friday Harbor earns a share of the Northwest 2B/1B League crown, while CHS coach Ken Stange still notches his 12th title with the girls’ program.

He has 17 titles at the school since taking over both the boys and girls tennis programs in 2005.

With the regular season done, Coupeville is off to the bi-district tourney next Friday, May 19 at the Amy Yee Tennis Center in Seattle.

That single-elimination royal rumble pits District 1’s Coupeville and Friday Harbor against District 4’s Three Rivers Christian, which hails from Longview.

Each team will send two singles players and two doubles teams to bi-districts, with the winners advancing to the state championships.

 

Friday’s results:

 

Varsity:

1st Singles — Helen Strelow beat Isabella VanderYacht 6-0, 6-3

2nd Singles — Djina Radenovic lost to Megan Mellinger 6-0, 6-0

1st Doubles — Hayley Fiedler/Vivian Farris beat Kira Clark/Betty Furber 6-4, 6-0

2nd Doubles — Skylar Parker/Lucy Tenore lost to Georgia Keune/Ava Martin 5-7, 6-4, 10-7

3rd Doubles — Kaitlyn Leavell/Brynn Parker lost to Lilli Turnbow/Sophia Ramirez 6-2, 6-2

 

JV:

Wolves, Bulldogs rumble on court

It wasn’t really about the win or loss.

Tuesday’s girls’ tennis match between Coupeville High School and host Mount Vernon was added to the schedule at the very last second, thanks to two athletic directors scrambling.

A matchup between one of the biggest 3A schools in the state and a lil’ 2B institution of learning went about as expected, with the Bulldogs winning 6-0.

But it was the side benefits which mattered most.

Mount Vernon, after having its Senior Night cancelled, was able to bounce back and honor its 12th graders.

And for Coupeville, which wraps the regular season Friday at home against Friday Harbor, then heads to the postseason, it gave the Wolf netters a chance to fine tune their games against stiff competition.

“The good opponents will help the top kids (headed to districts),” said CHS coach Ken Stange.

Friday’s home match is Senior Night for the Wolves, with on-court action slated to kick off at 4:00 PM.

Festivities to honor Lucy Tenore, Karyme Castro, Vivian Farris, Helen Strelow, and Hayley Fiedler will go down about 15 minutes before the match.

 

Tuesday’s results:

 

1st Singles — Helen Strelow lost to Manon Duchaussoy 6-1, 6-1

2nd Singles — Djina Radenovic lost to Grace Dilworth 6-1, 6-1

3rd Singles — Kaitlyn Leavell lost to Audrey Bylund 6-1, 6-1

1st Doubles — Hayley Fiedler/Vivian Farris lost to Samantha Stewart/Farah Briseno 6-1, 6-1

2nd Doubles — Skylar Parker/Lucy Tenore lost to Sophia Grechishkin/Kira Wilson 6-1, 6-2

3rd Doubles — Karyme Castro/Emma Morano lost to Miriam Cooksey/Mia Shackleton 6-0, 6-0
