Booters net big-time awards!!

After scoring 24 goals, CHS sophomore Derek Leyva was named the Olympic League boys soccer MVP. (Photo by JohnsPhotos.net)

Their final season in the Olympic League was a major success.

After three years of garnering third-place finishes, the Coupeville High School boys soccer squad surged to second-place in 2018, then made its longest playoff run in a decade.

CHS bounced five-time state champ Bellevue Christian from the postseason, then pushed Vashon Island and Klahowya hard in playoff losses.

With a solid core of young players (its top two scorers are only sophomores), the Wolves are primed for future success as they head to the new North Sound Conference next year.

And one of those sophomores, Derek Leyva, is still making headlines after being selected Olympic League MVP.

It’s the first time a non-Klahowya player was honored as the top boys soccer player in the four years of the conference.

Making his debut in 2018 with CHS, Leyva scorched the nets for 24 goals, a single-season record for the Wolf boys program.

He shattered the previous mark of 20, set by cousin Abraham Leyva in 2016.

Also pulling down big honors from league coaches were senior William Nelson and sophomore Aram Leyva, who were tabbed as First-Team All-Conference players.

It was Nelson’s fourth time to receive the honor.

Those awards, and team honors, letters and certificates, were handed out Thursday night as the booters kicked off Coupeville’s spring sports banquet circuit.

Derek Leyva was also named the team’s Player of the Year, while Uriah Kastner (Most Improved), Nelson (Most Inspirational) and Sam Wynn (Rookie of the Year) received varsity awards.

JV players Dawson Houston (Most Inspirational) and Ben Smith (Most Improved) were honored, as well.

“This was a great season for us with plenty of records and firsts in quite a few years,” said Coupeville coach Kyle Nelson.

Varsity letter-winners:

Chris Cernick
Dewitt Cole
Hunter Downes
Sage Downes
Pedro Gamarra
Uriah Kastner

One last run through the league, with honors.

The Coupeville High School girls basketball squad finished a four-year sojourn in the Olympic League, during which the Wolves went 33-3 in varsity play, by landing three players on the All-League team.

Lindsey Roberts and Sarah Wright were tabbed as First-Team All-Conference players when league coaches voted, while fellow junior Ema Smith received Honorable Mention.

The Wolves also claimed the league’s Sportsmanship award, while Port Townsend senior Kaitlyn Meek was MVP.

Roberts, who led Coupeville in scoring and rebounding this season, took home Leader of the Pack, while she and senior Mikayla Elfrank, were honored as team captains.

Sophomores Scout Smith (varsity) and Tia Wurzrainer (JV) claimed the Wolf Paw Award while seniors Kyla Briscoe and Allison Wenzel copped Four Year Participation honors.

Amy Briscoe, who shepherded daughters Tiffany and Kyla through four years of CHS hoops, while also serving as de facto team mom, also took home some hardware.

The King’s bestowed the first P.O.S (Parent’s Outstanding Support) Award on her.

Road warriors retire running shoes!!

Posted in Cross Country, tagged , , , , , on December 11, 2017| Leave a Comment »

   Coupeville’s road and trail warriors — Sam Wynn, Danny Conlisk and Henry Wynn. (Matt Simms photo)

They started on the road and finished on the road.

With no active cross country program at their own school, three Coupeville High School harriers struck a deal with their Island rivals.

Wolves Henry Wynn, Danny Conlisk and Sam Wynn trained and traveled with South Whidbey (while wearing CHS uniforms), then split off on their own for the postseason.

Once there Conlisk ran all the way to the state meet, becoming the first Wolf to make it to the big dance since Tyler King won the 1A boys title in 2010.

Now, the trio have officially capped their season, receiving letters alongside their Falcon “teammates” at a season-ending shindig.

Henry Wynn was the lone senior for the Wolves, with Conlisk, a junior, and Sam Wynn, a freshman, expected to return to running next fall.

That may be at Coupeville, as there are rumors of the Wolves restarting their dormant program, which has a long and distinguished history.

If not, they’ll likely head back down the trail to Langley and reunite with the Falcons.

They reached the end of the trail, for now.

Danny Conlisk and Henry Wynn received their cross country letters Sunday, becoming the first Coupeville High School athletes to be honored in the sport in six seasons.

CHS doesn’t have an active harrier program of its own, so the Wolf duo traveled and trained with South Whidbey this year.

Wynn, a junior, ran in six meets, setting his PR in the 5,000 meters (18:47.5) at the Olympic League Championships.

Conlisk battled through leg injuries which ended his season early, but competed in four meets before going down.

He set a PR of 18:36 at the Nike Twilight XC Invitational.

While the Wolf duo had to put out extra time and effort to compete without a school team to call their own, they and their parents felt it was more than worth it.

“Loved this journey with South Whidbey,” said Dawnelle Conlisk. “It truly was amazing.”
