Toasty temps, sweet success

The day was hot, while the Wolves were scorching.

It was 89 degrees on the turf in Marysville Tuesday, but the heat never bothered the visiting Coupeville High School boys’ soccer team.

Banging home their first scores of the young season, the Wolves slipped past host Grace Academy 2-1 in a nail biter, raising their record to 1-2.

Coupeville controlled the pace of play most of the way, with their private school foes netting their lone goal off of a penalty kick late in the going.

Other than that, it was all Wolves, all the time.

“We put some changes and plays in action,” said Coupeville coach Jim Kunz. “They came out strong from the beginning. Communication and passing was much better.”

The Wolves kept the Grace goalie jumping all day, with Edmund Wilson finding the back of the net off of a pass from Sawyer Rudat, before picking up the assist on a score by Liam Lawson.

It was the first high school goal for both Wolves, with Wilson becoming the third member of his family to score in a CHS uniform.

His older brothers, Aidan and Cael, finished their prep pitch careers with 13 goals apiece, tying them for 7th best in program history.

Lawson, a freshman whiz kid, is part of a legendary prairie family which includes athletic standouts such as grandpa Dale Sherman, aunt Katie Smith, and mom “Killer” Kassie (Lawson) O’Neil.

The Wolves get back at it Friday, Sept. 19, with a home soccer doubleheader at Mickey Clark Field.

Pitch powerhouse Mount Vernon Christian is the foe, with the girls game at 4:00 PM and the boys kicking off at 6:00. Admission is free.

CMS hoops stars survive clash with juggernaut

Sometimes you hit the road, and sometimes it hits back.

Thursday afternoon gave the Coupeville Middle School boys’ basketball teams what will likely be their toughest test of the season.

Making the trek to Shoreline to square off with ritzy private school sports juggernaut King’s Junior High, the young Wolves absorbed three losses.

But they also survived and return home with the battle scars to prove their growth.

Next up is a three-game homestand, with Granite Falls kicking things off with a Nov. 21 trip to Cow Town.

After that, Northshore Christian (Nov. 28) and Sultan (Nov. 30) swing by the CMS gym, with the Wolves not getting on a bus again until December rolls around.

CMS hoops coach Alex Evans sets up a play.

 

How Thursday played out:

 

Level 1:

Coupeville popped a trio of three-balls through the bottom of the net, but could do little to stop a deep, talented King’s squad.

Chayse Van Velkinburgh rippled the nets for two of the three Wolf shots from behind the arc, with Nick Laska also dropping a trey.

Carson Grove rounded out Coupeville’s scoring with an old-fashioned, but very effective, two-point bucket, while Liam Lawson, Kamden Ratcliff, Calvin Kappes, Nathan Niewald, Khanor Jump, and Trenton Thule were also in uniform.

 

Level 2:

Kappes was the high scorer for the day for CMS, rattling the rim for a team-best 10 points, while Diesel Eck provided some fuel with four points of his own.

Buckets from Thule — his first of the season — and Jump filled up the scoring column for the Wolves.

Deacon Frost, Maverick Walling, Aiden Wheat, River Simpson, Xander Beaman, and Lincoln Wagner were also on hand to scrap with the Knights.

 

Level 3:

Jonathan Jacobsen banked in four points to pace the Wolves, with Wagner (2), Walling (2), and Simpson (1) also scoring.

A mysterious bucket, not credited to a specific CMS player, drifted towards the bottom of the scorebook, meaning we’ll never truly know who was responsible for all of Coupeville’s scoring this season.

I, for one, will likely lose some sleep over the matter.

But I can tell you Beaman, Jacob Lujan, Wheat, Frost, Eck, and Mario Martinez were also in uniform for the hardwood clash, so that might be enough to get us through the night.
