It was prime time to tune up for the postseason.

Competing Saturday at the 21-team Bellevue Christian Track and Field Invitational, a pack of Coupeville High School athletes brought the regular season to an end with a bang.

After this all eyes turn to the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships May 7 in Mount Vernon, followed by districts and state.

Saturday’s royal rumble, which went down at Sammamish High School, drew a wide range of schools from across multiple classifications, providing a stern test for the Wolves.

Bellevue Christian won the girls’ team title, with Lynden Christian and East Jefferson hot on its heels, while Sammamish carried the day in the boys’ competition, with Nooksack Valley and BC rounding out the top three.

Coupeville’s boys claimed 13th, while its girls finished 18th.

Track stars stay home, pile up PRs

No bus and ferry for them.

Competing at home for the first time this spring, the Coupeville High School track and field team picked up four wins and 37 PRs Wednesday during an 11-team rumble at Mickey Clark Field.

On a partially sunny prairie afternoon, the Wolves got victories from Tamsin Ward (shot put), Cyrus Sparacio (1600), Davin Houston (high jump), and George Spear (3200).

It was the fourth win this season for both Ward and Sparacio, as the fab frosh continue to lead the way for CHS.

Meanwhile, wily vets Spear and Houston each collected their first victories of the spring, with the latter setting a PR in his event.

Overall, the La Conner boys and Mount Vernon Christian girls claimed team titles, with Coupeville finishing third and fourth, respectively.

Wednesday’s meet was the first in two weeks for the Wolves, who last saw competition back on April 1 in Mount Vernon.

Now that it’s back in action, Coupeville will stay busy, heading to North Kitsap Saturday for the 23-team Dave Snyder’s Lil’ Norway Meet.

That’s a detour, as CHS was originally slated to compete in the Forks Lion Club Invitational but will instead vie with a deep field including schools such as Auburn, Bethel, Port Angeles, and Klahowya.

Gridiron gang nipped in home opener

“Where do you think you’re going??” (Julie Wheat photos)

It slipped away.

The Coupeville High School football team carried a lead into the halftime locker room Friday night, but couldn’t quite seal the deal in its home opener.

Up 13-8 on visiting Cascade (Leavenworth), the Wolves, who lost starting quarterback Chase Anderson to a first-half injury, eventually fell 30-19 in the non-conference clash at Mickey Clark Field.

The loss drops Coupeville to 0-2 on the season, with a road trip to Granite Falls up next on the schedule.

The 2B Wolves play 1A schools in five of their first six games this season.

The Wolves chase down a Cascade runner.

After being limited to a single touchdown by week #1 foe Annie Wright, Coupeville hit pay dirt three times on its home turf.

Anderson broke off a massive 70+ yard touchdown run, scampering away from a group of Cascade tacklers, with Liam Blas and Davin Houston also crashing into the end zone for six points apiece.

It was Houston’s second score of the campaign.

With Anderson sidelined, backup quarterback Nathan Coxsey saw his first extended tour of duty under center and the sophomore held up well in the spotlight.

Marquette Cunningham enjoys his job.

Tough foe, tense battle

The final score doesn’t tell all.

While the Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball team fell 50-33 to visiting Mount Vernon Christian Tuesday, the game was closer than the scoreboard might have indicated.

The Wolves, who now sit at 4-3 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 5-6 overall, held tough until the fourth quarter.

That was when the high-powered Hurricanes used an 18-9 run to close the game with a bang and pad the lead.

Up until the final frame, things were much closer, with Coupeville playing particularly strong in the middle two quarters.

Down 11-5 at the first break, the Wolves played MVC to a 12-12 standstill in the second, then were nipped just 9-7 in the third.

Riley Lawless provided the lion’s share of the offense, scoring in all four quarters as he racked up a team-best 10 points.

Davin Houston (5), Carson Grove (4), Liam Blas (4), Mahkai Myles (3), Easton Green (3), Sage Arends (2), and Khanor Jump (2) also scored, with Green banging home a three-ball.

Nathan Coxsey, Jayden Little, Malachi Somes, and Kyle McCrimmon also saw floor time for the Wolves, who have two games left on their schedule.

The JV travels to La Conner this Friday, Jan. 31, before closing out the 2024-2025 campaign at home the following Friday, Feb. 7.
