History was made last week, but we’re not done yet.

The Coupeville High School football team clinched the first winning season by the program since 2005, while the Wolf girls soccer squad captured its first-ever playoff win.

As we count down the final days of October, then veer into the first days of November, there’s a lot less games to play, but those that remain mean a lot more.

The Wolf booters play a loser-out game at Cedar Park Christian Monday.

Win, and two more games pop up on the schedule, with road tilts Wednesday and Saturday against yet-to-be-determined foes.

Football closes its season Friday on the road in Bellevue against Interlake, while cross country runs Saturday at the district meet in Langley.

CHS tennis has already wrapped its season, while Wolf volleyball still has a ways to go.

The spikers cap the regular season Monday in Sultan, then kick off district play with two matches Saturday in Lynden.

As we prepare for at least one more week of action-packed fall sports, a look at where we are at the moment.

Standings? We’re talking about standings??

“He’s printing league standings after two days of competition. No, seriously, that guy right over there…” (Photo by JohnsPhotos.net)

We might be jumping the gun a bit here.

The new high school fall sports season has been active for all of two days, and here we are, running our first look at league standings.

Only one of the five sports Coupeville competes in — football — had a full slate of games Friday, while soccer saw two of the six North Sound Conference teams kick off things Saturday afternoon.

But what the heck.

This is the internet and space is infinite, so it’s not like running a standings article is keeping something else from seeing the light of day.

So, as we prepare for the first full week of activity, here’s a look at how the first couple of games went.

Just in case you’re wondering, Coupeville soccer fell 3-1 to powerhouse Meridian, while the King’s booters were blanked 2-0 by Lakeside in a battle of programs which both advanced to the state tourney last season.

In gridiron action, it went down like this:

Port Townsend 49
Coupeville 16

South Whidbey 7
Friday Harbor 3

Lakewood 42
King’s 14

Sultan 35
Vashon Island 6

Shorewood 42
Granite Falls 14

Cedar Park Christian 62
Concrete 22

And our first look at numbers on a board:

North Sound Conference volleyball:

School	League	Overall
Coupeville	0-0	0-0
CPC-Bothell	0-0	0-0
Granite Falls	0-0	0-0
King’s	0-0	0-0
South Whidbey	0-0	0-0
Sultan	0-0	0-0

North Sound Conference football:

School	League	Overall
Coupeville	0-0	0-1
CPC-Bothell	0-0	1-0
Granite Falls	0-0	0-1
King’s	0-0	0-1
South Whidbey	0-0	1-0
Sultan	0-0	1-0

North Sound Conference girls soccer:

School	League	Overall
Coupeville	0-0	0-1
CPC-Bothell	0-0	0-0
Granite Falls	0-0	0-0
King’s	0-0	0-1
South Whidbey	0-0	0-0

And that’s a wrap

Year one is in the books. Mostly.

The postseason still rages on in various locales this spring, but every North Sound Conference league contest, in every sport, has been played.

Looking back, from the early days of fall, to our current time, one thing remains clear.

King’s is still pretty good.

The private school athletic power, not surprisingly, dominated action in the first year of the new six-team league, winning 66 varsity contests across the 10 sports Coupeville plays.

OK, actually it’s 12 sports, but cross country and track don’t keep track of win/loss records, so, for the purpose of this story, they get ignored.

And sports like wrestling, swimming, or golf?

This blog is called Coupeville Sports, not Gushin’ ‘Bout Granite or Fly Falcons, Fly … so again, out of mind, out of sight.

Anyways. Back to King’s and its 66 varsity wins, which is even more remarkable since the Knights opt not to play boys tennis or softball.

Making up for that, King’s notched 10 league wins in four sports (volleyball, girls and boys basketball, baseball), while the rest of the league combined for just two total double-digit win teams across all 10 sports.

Both of those outliers came in baseball, where Cedar Park Christian won 13 games — most for any varsity team in any sport this school year — and South Whidbey claimed 12 wins.

Back to the team varsity league win totals, year one ended thusly:

King’s — 66
South Whidbey — 56
Cedar Park Christian — 51
Coupeville — 43
Granite Falls — 29
Sultan — 17

After four years of ruling the four-team Olympic League, CHS, the smallest school in its new conference, took a small step back, but held up pretty well, even with the addition of sports-orientated private schools to the mix.

All six schools are expected to return for year two of the league during the 2019-2020 school year.

After that, though, all bets are off, as new classification counts are likely to send Coupeville down from 1A to 2B in 2020-2021.

Until then, a sport-by-sport look back at how the 2018-2019 school athletic year played out:

All things must end

It’s a wrap.

The postseason continues to play out, but the final North Sound Conference regular-season title was decided last week, as softball came to a hotly-contested end.

When the dust had settled, and the last home run had cleared the fence, Granite Falls managed to blow what seemed like a pretty solid lead, with back-to-back losses throwing things asunder.

The Tigers ended up in a three-way tie with Coupeville and Cedar Park Christian, and, thanks to the magic of the tiebreaker, it’s your Wolves who will carry a #1 seed into the district playoffs.

That royal rumble goes down in Sedro-Woolley May 16 and 18, while back on Whidbey, CHS track hosts bi-districts the same days.

The other Wolves still fighting are Tia Wurzainer and Avalon Renninger, who finished second at the league tourney, and open bi-districts Tuesday. Win there and the duo return to the courts May 17.

While Coupeville baseball and boys soccer reached the end of their roads this past week, being bounced from bi-district and district tournaments, respectively, there is some consolation.

Mainly that South Whidbey also went down in both sports, falling shy of a state berth.

That had to particularly sting for the Falcon booters, who at 13-1, were shocked in back-to-back one-goal games by King’s and The Bush School.

But we’re not here to gloat at our closest rival’s misfortune (well, maybe a little bit…), but instead to close our weekly Sunday recaps of the league standings.

If you deeply care about the continued adventures of Cedar Park Christian baseball and King’s soccer, there are other media outlets sure to track their progress as they play at state.

With the remaining active Coupeville athletes, only softball will see its win/loss record change after this, and you can catch those developments in the coming game stories.

So, until fall sports arrive, a final look at league standings:

North Sound Conference softball:

School	League	Overall
Coupeville	9-3	12-7
CPC-Bothell	9-3	14-4
Granite Falls	9-3	12-7
South Whidbey	2-10	5-13
Sultan	1-11	1-14

North Sound Conference baseball:

School	League	Overall
CPC-Bothell	13-2	20-3
South Whidbey	12-3	18-5
King’s	10-5	12-11
Coupeville	7-8	7-14
Granite Falls	2-13	4-16
Sultan	1-14	1-19

North Sound Conference girls tennis:

School	League	Overall
King’s	7-1	8-1
South Whidbey	7-1	7-4
Granite Falls	4-4	5-10
Coupeville	2-6	2-7
Friday Harbor	0-8	0-8

North Sound Conference boys soccer:

School	League	Overall
South Whidbey	8-0	13-3

Always keep one eye on the standings

Playoff fever rages across the land.

Four of five spring sports – baseball, boys soccer, girls tennis, and track – are actively involved in postseason action, while softball is the lone activity still wrapping up regular-season play.

For Coupeville, the season came to an end Saturday night for the diamond men and the booters, as both were knocked out of their respective playoff rumbles.

Track is off to districts at Lynden Christian this coming Thursday and Saturday, with bi-districts and state still to come.

Wolf tennis hits the district tourney Tuesday and Wednesday in Granite Falls, with two singles players and two doubles teams vying to advance to bi-districts.

And softball, coming off a huge week which included an upset of Granite Falls, wraps its regular season Tuesday at South Whidbey.

Win that one, and the Wolves clinch at least a share of the league title, then get some time to rest as their district tourney doesn’t go down until May 16 and 18.

As we juggle regular season and playoff activity, and try to figure out how the softball league title battle will be decided (more on that in a separate story later today), a look at league standings through May 5:
