Cow Town will be hoppin’.

Coupeville High School spring sports teams host five home events in the coming week, with everyone in action in front of local fans.

The Wolf girls’ tennis squad leads off things, welcoming King’s to town Tuesday, before Friday Harbor arrives three days later.

Meanwhile, CHS softball and baseball teams travel to La Conner Tuesday, before flipping things with home games against the Braves Thursday afternoon.

Last, but not least, Coupeville hosts one of its two home track meets Wednesday, with Northwest 2B/1B League rivals in attendance.

They are tantalizingly close to a breakthrough.

While the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis team is 0-5 this season, the Wolves have been one match away from winning as a team almost every time out.

Friday was a similar tale, with CHS sweeping the singles showdowns at South Whidbey, but being narrowly edged in the doubles bouts and falling 3-2.

One of those doubles matches went the full three sets, as well, with the Falcons, a traditional tennis power in the region, escaping by the slimmest of advantages.

“We did so great!” said Coupeville coach Starla Seal.

Tenley (Stuurmans) did amazing and held her composure, Dahlia (Miller) also, and really both of them came back their second set to shut it down.

Kauri (Hamilton) and Brynn (Parker) were so close to winning (at second doubles).”

Brynn Parker chases down a shot.

With dry weather predicted for the week ahead, the Wolves will host a pair of matches on their home courts.

King’s comes to Coupeville Tuesday, April 15 for a non-conference rumble, before Friday Harbor visits April 18 for the second of four showdowns between Northwest 2B/1B League rivals this season.

 

Friday’s results:

 

Varsity:

1st Singles — Tenley Stuurmans won 6-4, 6-2

2nd Singles — Dahlia Miller won 7-5, 6-2

1st Doubles — Ember Light/Mila Light lost 6-1, 6-1

2nd Doubles — Brynn Parker/Kauri Hamilton lost 2-6, 6-4, 6-2

3rd Doubles — Delanie Lewis/Ember Light lost 4-0, 4-0

 

JV:

4th Doubles — Chloe Ferguson/Rowan Stoner lost 4-0, 4-0

5th Doubles — Samantha Wallace/Hailey Goldman lost 4-0, 4-1

6th Doubles — Savannah Coxsey/Ashley Wells lost 4-0, 4-0

“We almost had them!”

Taking advantage of a sunny day, the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis squad hosted Granite Falls Wednesday and almost came away with an upset win.

While the Wolves were eventually nipped 3-2 by their big school counterparts in the varsity match, they did come away having won six of 10 bouts on the day.

That included sweeping all four singles matchups, while also having two of their JV doubles duos claim their first victories of the campaign.

Next up for Coupeville is a trip down island Friday for a rivalry rumble with South Whidbey.

But first, a little basking in the afterglow of a very solid performance against Granite Falls.

“Singles killed it without a doubt, playing very well,” said CHS coach Starla Seal.

Two of three varsity doubles matches went right to the wire, with the deciding one having to go a few extra points to be decided.

With Sofia Phay MIA with an injury, the Wolves tried a new combo at #2 doubles, matching up Brynn Parker and Kauri Hamilton, and Seal liked the result.

“Our second doubles played their hearts out as new partners,” she said. “Kauri and Brynn played well together and showed a lot of potential.”

Seal also praised the work of #3 doubles duo Miles Gerber and Delanie Lewis, who pushed their foes to the breaking point.

“A very close game with some great rallies as well!” Seal said. “Miles and Delanie hit some beautiful volleys and ground strokes.”

 

Wednesday’s results:

 

Varsity:

1st Singles — Tenley Stuurmans beat Hailey Granger 8-0

2nd Singles — Dahlia Miller beat Leighya Knighten 8-0

1st Doubles — Ember Light/Mila Light lost to Ella Hakso/Audree Van Winkle 8-0

2nd Doubles — Brynn Parker/Kauri Hamilton lost to Danika Mace/Brook Mann 9-7

3rd Doubles — Delanie Lewis/Miles Gerber lost to Allyssa Reyes/Hana Dechico 8-6

 

JV:

3rd Singles — Brynn Parker beat Ella Hakso 6-0

4th Singles — Tenley Stuurmans beat Audree Van Winkle 6-0

4th Doubles — Chloe Ferguson/Rowan Stoner beat Emely Cazares/Jayda Belleson 8-4

5th Doubles — Samantha Wallace/Hailey Goldman beat Mackenzie Martin/Kylie Kisch 8-4

6th Doubles — Savannah Coxsey/Ashley Wells lost to Natalie Fernandez/Natalia Valadez 8-2
