The season is winding down, but the photo opportunities still abound.

Traveling clicker John Fisken wandered through Coupeville Saturday (perhaps drawn by the sunshine) and he and his lens captured the CHS boys’ soccer squad hard at work.

The Wolves lost a hard-fought non-conference game to private school power Charles Wright Academy, but local fans can forget that and focus on the pics.

Joel

   And Joel Walstad? It’s possibly the greatest moment of his high school sports career.

Layers.

Lots and lots of layers. Just for moments like this.

Soccer players often wear multiple layers, like spandex under their shorts, for several reasons.

Trying to stay warm in the “spring” weather. Because it looks snappy.

Or, maybe, because sometimes your opponent just tries to rip all your clothes off in the middle of the match.

Yep, that’s a good reason right there.

The journey is not yet complete.

Coupeville High School senior Josh Datin will be playing his third year of soccer in the spring (fifth overall), and, even though his season is several months away, he’s already primed for a return to the pitch.

“I started because it seemed fun doing rec soccer and it turned out to be, and I recently found skill in it over the past couple of years,” Datin said.  “I enjoy soccer because its good exercise, something fun to do that I am fairly good at (I assume … haha) and a bunch of my friends play, too.

“My goals are just to work on my overall skill and keep a definite spot on varsity, not just because I’m a senior,” he added. “I also want to have a fun season with my friends and coaches.”

Datin excels on the defensive side of the ball, but is working hard at being a fully-rounded weapon whenever he plays.

“My strengths are being able to recover from a defeat, either while playing or a result of the entire game,” he said. “I also think defense is my strong suit because that’s my style of play.

“I need work on a a lot of things,” Datin added. “Especially control and possession, as well as playing my defensive part.”

Away from the beautiful game, he enjoys the outdoors, listening to music and his calculus and physics classes. He plans to be a mechanical engineer.

Whether on the pitch or in every day life, Datin draws support and encouragement from those around him.

“In soccer, my friends (are big) because they teach and guide me,” Datin said. “My coach (also teacher), Kyle Nelson, because of the same reason.

“Outside of sports, it’s definitely my friends and family because of the support and guidance.”
