It gets easier from here on out.

Most likely.

The Coupeville High School girls tennis team has played an odd schedule this spring, thanks to numerous issues, from weather to lack of non-conference foes.

When they have been able to take the court, the Wolves have clashed with two top teams, King’s and South Whidbey, and been stung twice by both schools.

A 5-0 loss at Langley Thursday leaves Coupeville sitting at 0-4 on the season heading into a road match Friday afternoon.

That opponent, Friday Harbor, is also 0-4, and the two schools meet for back-to-back contests today and then on Whidbey Apr. 30.

After that comes Coupeville’s lone non-conference match May 1 at Chimacum (2-11), before a doubleheader May 2 at Granite Falls (3-7).

The North Sound Conference tourney is set for May 7-8, also at Granite Falls, where a long string of tennis courts stretch into the sunset.

After that, if any Wolves qualify, is bi-districts May 17, and state, which goes down May 24-25.

 

Complete Thursday results:

 

Varsity:

1st Singles — Genna Wright lost to Ashley Ricketts 6-2, 6-3

2nd Singles — Jillian Mayne lost to McKenna Kelley 6-0, 6-2

There are five varsity spring sports teams at Coupeville High School.

Baseball has played 17 games, softball 14, boys soccer 13, and even track and field has been to eight meets.

And girls tennis?

Well, good news, because against all odds, they completed their third match Tuesday afternoon!

In a season beset by scheduling conflicts and a whole lot of liquid sunshine, that’s a start, even if the Wolves did fall 4-1 at King’s.

It was the first full match Coupeville had played in two weeks, and, hopefully, the start of three in four days.

The Wolves, who sit at 0-3 after two losses to King’s (the powerhouse of the North Sound Conference at a shiny 6-0), are set to travel to South Whidbey Thursday and Friday Harbor the day after.

Facing off with a strong Knights team in Shoreline, Coupeville nabbed its single varsity win at #1 doubles, where Tia Wurzrainer and Avalon Renninger rolled to a straight-sets win.

The Wolves came dangerously close to a second victory, but Emily Fiedler and Eryn Wood were nipped in a third-set tiebreaker at #2 doubles.

 

Complete Tuesday results:

 

Varsity:

1st Singles — Genna Wright lost to Scarlett Ren 6-0, 6-0

2nd Singles — Jillian Mayne lost to Allison Giroux 6-1, 6-0

1st Doubles — Tia Wurzrainer/Avalon Renninger beat Caroline Baker/Grace Roberts 6-3, 6-2

2nd Doubles — Eryn Wood/Emily Fiedler lost to Ava Dreon/Christine Wang 4-6, 6-4, 10-8

3rd Doubles — Elaira Nicolle/Abby Mulholland lost to Elma Lu/Jackie Cheung-Main 6-2, 6-3

 

JV:

4th Doubles — Mary Milnes/Bruna Moratori lost 8-1

5th Doubles — Noelle Daigneault/Katelin McCormick lost 8-4

6th Doubles — Maddy Andrews/Milnes lost 8-2

7th Doubles — Cecelia Camarena/Cassidy Holmes lost 8-7

8th Doubles — Andrews/Nicolle won 8-2

Busy week ahead for Wolves

Push for the playoffs.

All five Coupeville High School spring sports programs are currently in line to send their team, or individual players, to the postseason.

For baseball, its playoff dreams are front and center this coming week.

The Wolf diamond men close the regular season with a three-game series against Granite Falls, playing at home Monday and Friday and on the road Wednesday.

They’ll enter that series needing just one win to clinch the fourth, and final, playoff berth from the North Sound Conference.

Meanwhile, softball, which is fighting for a league title, gets what could be an easy week, with games Monday at Sultan and Tuesday at home against South Whidbey.

Those two teams are in the cellar of the league standings, offering Coupeville a chance to get in, win, and get out, while maintaining their chase of Granite Falls.

Wolf soccer and track close the regular season, Tuesday at home against South Whidbey, and Thursday at Langley, respectively.

And tennis?

If the weather holds, they could play more matches in a four-day period next week than they have all season.

The netters have been limited to two full contests, and one against Granite Falls which was postponed mid-match by the arrival of liquid sunshine.

But, with the hope of sun on everyone’s minds, the Wolves are slated to spend a lot of time on the bus, with road trips Tuesday (King’s), Thursday (South Whidbey), and Friday (Friday Harbor).

As everyone preps for the week ahead, a look at where we sit with all games complete through Apr. 20:

 

North Sound Conference softball:

School League Overall
Granite Falls 6-1 9-5
Coupeville 4-2 7-6
CPC-Bothell 3-3 8-4
Sultan 1-4 1-7
South Whidbey 1-5 4-8

 

North Sound Conference baseball:

Granite Falls 2-10 4-13
Sultan 1-11 1-16

Weather willing, Wolves ready to rumble

The week ahead is huge for Coupeville High School spring sports teams.

It’s busy, it’s full of key games, and the results could help crystallize where playoff chases are headed.

Of course, that’s if the weather holds up.

After a deceptively nice opening to the season, rain has became much more of a factor as we wade into April.

But, barring more liquid sunshine, all five Wolf teams will be in action.

Track has a meet Thursday in Sultan, while tennis, which has still played just two matches thanks to scheduling issues and weather, hosts Granite Falls Tuesday afternoon.

Things are busier for soccer (at Sultan Tuesday, home Friday vs. Cedar Park Christian), baseball and softball.

The diamond men are slated to play a three-game series against Sultan, with home games Monday and Friday packaged around a Wednesday road trip.

But the biggest games, by far, belong to softball.

Coupeville enters the week in a three-way tie for first-place in the North Sound Conference with Granite and CPC.

And those two teams are what awaits the Wolves, as they host Cedar Park Monday, then travel Wednesday to Granite.

A sweep puts CHS in control of the league, with four of its final six games coming against much-weaker competition in Sultan and South Whidbey.

As you prepare for a week of all-out warfare, a reminder of where we stand through Apr. 14:

 

North Sound Conference softball:

School League Overall
Coupeville 3-1 5-5
CPC-Bothell 3-1 7-2
Granite Falls 3-1 6-5
South Whidbey 1-3 4-6
Sultan 0-4 0-6

 

North Sound Conference baseball:

School League Overall
CPC-Bothell 12-0 14-1
South Whidbey 10-2 13-2
King’s 4-5 5-9
Granite Falls 1-6 3-9
Coupeville 1-8 1-12
Sultan 0-7 0-12

 

North Sound Conference girls tennis:

School League Overall
South Whidbey 3-0 3-2
King’s 2-0 3-0
Granite Falls 1-2 2-5
Coupeville 0-2 0-2
Friday Harbor 0-2 0-2

 

North Sound Conference boys soccer:

School League Overall
South Whidbey 5-0 9-1
King’s 4-1 5-2-1
Coupeville 2-3 4-6
Sultan 1-3 2-8
CPC-Bothell 0-5 0-7

Net crew finally unleashed

Just getting on the court is a win.

The Coupeville High School girls tennis team has been hit by scheduling issues, rain delays, and all manners of roadblocks this season.

So, even though the Wolves fell 4-1 Tuesday to visiting South Whidbey, fighting against buffeting wind and the league’s best team, it was still somewhat of a positive outcome.

While other CHS teams have broken double digits in games played, or are about to do so, the netters have a whopping total of two matches in the books.

The first didn’t come until Mar. 27 against King’s, and then the Wolves promptly went back to waiting, sitting another two weeks before Tuesday’s tilt.

At least the next match will come much quicker, barring any weather surprises, as Coupeville, 0-2 on the season, is scheduled to travel Thursday to Friday Harbor.

Facing off with a powerhouse South Whidbey team, which improved to 3-0 in North Sound Conference play, the Wolves put up a strong fight.

And no one played tougher than the duo of sophomore Jaimee Masters and freshman Abby Mulholland, who rallied for a win at #3 doubles.

After splitting the first two sets, the Wolves held off three match points in a third-set tiebreaker, eventually pulling out a victory to send the remaining fans home happy.

Both Masters and Mulholland came up with big shots down the stretch, forcing the action as the huddled masses prayed for relief from the cold and wind as the clock crept towards 7 PM.

The ticket to head home finally arrived on a perfectly-executed drop shot which bit a chunk off the back line, then skipped merrily away for the match-winning point.

 

Complete Tuesday results:

 

Varsity:

1st Singles — Genna Wright lost to Fariss Jokinen 6-3, 6-4

2nd Singles — Jillian Mayne lost to Ashley Ricketts 6-0, 6-1

1st Doubles — Tia Wurzrainer/Avalon Renninger lost to Mary Zisette/Allison Papritz 6-2, 6-1

2nd Doubles — Eryn Wood/Emily Fiedler lost to Ainsley Nelson/Elizabeth Simmons 6-3, 6-3

3rd Doubles — Jaimee Masters/Abby Mulholland beat Oliana Stange/Erin Brewer 6-4, 6-7(5-7), 13-11

 

JV:

4th Doubles — Elaira Nicolle/Wood lost 8-5

5th Doubles — Noelle Daigneault/Katelin McCormick lost 8-1

6th Doubles — Maddy Andrews/Mary Milnes lost 8-1

7th Doubles — Cecelia Camarena/Cassidy Holmes lost 6-3

8th Doubles — Daigneault/McCormick lost 7-1
