They win in every way.

Coupeville High School volleyball players have combined to go 24-1 this season, with the varsity at 13-0 and JV at 11-1 heading into the regular season finale.

As the Wolves prepare for that showdown with Sultan, which arrives Monday, Nov. 4, they showed up for practice Thursday in a celebratory mood.

Combining Halloween with spikes and sets, the net crew put a different spin on the workday.

The freshmen.

The sophomores.

The junior.

The seniors.

Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to … tackle.

The regular season football finale, which will see Coupeville High School travel to Friday Harbor, has been bumped up a day.

Originally set for Friday, Nov. 1, it will now go down on Halloween — Thursday, Oct. 31.

Kickoff is still slated for 6:30 PM.

The move is being made to accommodate the possibility the two teams will need to play a tiebreaker to decide which Northwest 2B/1B League school advances to face a team from District 4 for a berth in the state tourney.

Coupeville won the first of two meetings with Friday Harbor this past Friday, squishing the Wolverines 18-5 on Whidbey.

Win the regular season finale, and CHS is the league champ and earns the playoff slot outright.

If Friday Harbor should rebound and earn a split, however, then it would force that tiebreaker.

Between now and Halloween, Coupeville, which sits at 4-1 overall, has non-conference games left to play against South Whidbey, Adna, and Winlock the next three Fridays.

The first and third of those are at home.

The tradition lives.

Combining holiday spirit with getting ready for the district tournament, the Coupeville High School volleyball team brought out an assortment of Halloween costumes at a recent practice.

The holiday lives.

Adapting to the age of Coronavirus, the Coupeville Historic Waterfront Association is hosting a modified Halloween event Saturday night.

Instead of the normal downtown costume parade, things are being changed up with participants staying inside their cars, with a sweet (or sour) candy payoff at the end.

Some pertinent details:

🎃 All volunteers will be masked.

🎃 Line-up starts at 4:15 PM. Parade begins at 5:00.

🎃 Cars will enter the parade from the Coupeville Municipal Lot behind the library.

To get there from Main Street, go west on 1st Street, north on Wilkes (right), then enter the grass lot at the end of Wilkes.

🎃 Participants must remain in their vehicle for the entirety of the parade.

If you wish to decorate your vehicle, which is highly recommended, it must be decorated BEFORE entering the staging area.

🎃 Tune your radio to 101.7 for event information and parade music.

🎃 Candy bags (packaged and handed out following COVID-19 safety protocols) will be given out at the end of the route.

🎃 All are welcome, but participants are asked to limit vehicle passengers to those living in the same household.

 

If you have any questions about the event, email:
