“I love those guys!”

Longtime Coupeville High School tennis guru Ken Stange is a bubbling volcano of emotion, and when his players truly step up and play to their absolute best, he’s as appreciative a coach as they come.

Monday afternoon he was talking about seniors Jaschon Baumann and Tiger Johnson, his #3 doubles duo, who have caught fire in the second half of the season.

Facing off with rivals from Seattle Academy, the undefeated champs of the Emerald City League and the front-runner to win the 1A boys state tennis team title next spring, Coupeville knew it would be in for a rough afternoon on its home courts.

But, thanks to a win from Baumann and Johnson, their sixth straight, the Wolves became one of the few teams to take a point from the Cardinals this fall, eventually falling 4-1.

The loss drops Coupeville to 6-6 in league action, leaving them in fourth-place in the extremely tough eight-team conference, and 7-6 overall.

The Wolves close the regular season Wednesday, when they host win-less Eastside Prep and celebrate Senior Night.

Two of the 12th graders who Stange will honor are Baumann and Johnson, a duo he has seen blossom over this season, and their careers.

“Tiger and Jaschon were splendid today. They have such a love for the game, and today it showed,” Stange said. “Their season got off to a rough start, but now they’ve run off six straight, quite a few of them nail biters.

“I’ve really been focusing on the two of them having fun and enjoying the game and enjoying their final season,” he said. “It’s really paid off!”

While the Wolves dropped the other four matches, Stange was thrilled to see his netters never back down from their foes, no matter how much private school aura they might have been flashing.

“It was fun watching the guys play against the best team,” he said. “Every single one of the guys left it all on the court, so to speak.

“They tried very hard and never gave up.”

Terrific trio just here for the cake!!

Today is all about the young guns.

Three freshmen who have all made an impact for Coupeville High School sports teams this school year are celebrating a joint birthday.

It’s all about the cake for Tavian Woolett and brothers Jakobi and Jaschon Baumann.

Woolett announced himself on the gridiron back in the fall, terrorizing opponents as a two-way threat.

Whether picking up chunks of yardage as a receiver or runner, or hauling down folks on the defensive side of the ball (where he popped up on the varsity stat sheet), Tavian played hard whistle to whistle.

Often praised in print by Wolf JV coach Ryan King, he has a combination of skills, work ethic and grit, which is always nice to see.

The battlin’ Baumann brothers started on the tennis court and have since taken their skill sets to different sports in the spring.

Jaschon is running the soccer pitch for the Wolves, while Jakobi is just flat out running, as a member of the Coupeville track squad, where he has one of the ten best times among 1A runners in the 3000.

Like their dad, Duane, the CHS Athletic Director and soon-to-be Principal, the duo are low-key guys who surprise with a nice sense of humor.

Having spent a soccer game or two up in the press box with them, I can attest both Baumann brothers can crack jokes (and good ones) while still keeping the scoreboard and iPad hummin’ along. They got skills.

So, as all three of these young Wolves hit their milestone day, we just want to take a moment and wish them the best.

Happy birthday, guys. Keep flying high.
