You take your lumps and move on, eyes on the prize.

The win-loss record for the Coupeville High School boys’ tennis squad is a bit deceptive these days.

After absorbing a 6-1 non-conference thrashing at North Kitsap Friday, the Wolves sit at 1-6, which isn’t their usual level of success.

But, like I said, it’s a bit deceptive.

Coupeville’s schedule so far has been heavy in 2A schools, with the small-school Wolves sending their young roster into battle against much-bigger teams in four of seven matches.

Toss in a private school like Overlake here, and a traditional power like South Whidbey there, and it’s been a brutal run.

But, in the race that really matters — the battle to repeat as 1A Olympic League champs — CHS is still sitting pretty, atop the standings at 1-0.

In the week ahead the Wolves will get a chance to sharpen their game (and put a stranglehold on another title), playing two of three matches against their biggest rivals.

After opening with a home match against North Mason (yes, another 2A school) Monday, Coupeville plays at Chimacum (0-1 in league) Wednesday, then welcomes Klahowya (1-1) to Whidbey Friday.

Those last two clashes will put the Wolves at the midway point of their six-match league season.

“Hopefully we get back on track next week,” said CHS coach Ken Stange.

Friday’s results:

Varsity:

1st singles — Nick Etzell lost to Mitch Kunold 6-2, 6-0

2nd singles — Jimmy Myers beat Ian Lyons 6-3, 4-6, 6-3

3rd singles — Grey Rische lost to Sam Horn 7-6(7-2), 6-4

1st doubles — Joseph Wedekind/John McClarin lost to Turner Hibbs/Scott Lyons 6-2, 6-4

2nd doubles — William Nelson/Joey Lippo lost to Jacob Denny/Ryan Hekker 6-2, 7-5

3rd doubles — Nile Lockwood/Mason Grove lost to Justice Jagodishske/Grant Nausid-Nichols 6-0, 6-2

4th doubles — Aiden Crimmins/Jakobi Baumann lost to Jared Reister/Ryland Schmidt 7-5, 6-4

JV:

5th doubles — Jaschon Baumann/Tiger Johnson lost to Devon Horn/Max Larson 8-1

6th doubles — Elliott Johnson/Zachary Ginnings lost to Brandon Anderson/Aiden Adams 8-0

7th doubles — McClarin/Koby Schreiber beat Adam Rappaport/Tyler Dennis 8-4

Jimmy Myers has a tough fight on his hands.

When you come up behind two sisters who are rock stars, it’s easy to get ignored from time to time.

And yet, the easy-going Myers, who celebrates a birthday today, is doing OK for himself.

Even with huge footsteps left behind by the twin terrors, Taylor Herreman and Julia Myers, Jimmy is making his own mark in multiple sports.

The most noticeable of those lately has been tennis, where he showed real spark last year as a sophomore.

Toss in his time on the baseball diamond and his ability to rock a natty ensemble while helping to lead the student cheering section at volleyball matches, and he’s a well-rounded Wolf athlete.

Who also happens to be a strong student and a huge fan of sitting up in trees reflecting on life (or at least that’s what his Facebook profile pics seem to indicate).

As he celebrates his birthday today, young Mr. Myers is, like his sisters, a bright, shining light.

The last name brings a level of recognition, of responsibility with it, and Jimmy is more than living up to those who went down the path ahead of him.

I have no doubt your sisters are very proud of you, and, if you get the stamp of approval from Taylor and Julia, you’re solid.

Happy birthday, Jimmy.

May this one, and all the ones to come, be excellent.

And repping the night’s Black Out theme.

Middle school basketball stars cheer on their older counterparts.

“We’re here all night, baby!!”

“They broke my camera…”

Sometimes the cameraman likes to wander.

You can only snap so many shots of basketball players at work before you need to shake things up a bit and spin the clicker towards the audience.

Fueled up by dangerously-high levels of Diet Coke, travelin’ photo man John Fisken delivered these snaps from Wednesday night’s home hoops doubleheader.

Bask in the glow.
