Undeniable progress.
Retaking the courts after a two-week break, the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis team went toe-to-toe with one of the best net programs in the state Thursday and held its own.
While the Wolves fell 5-2 to perennial power South Whidbey while playing in Langley, that was two matches better than the first time they met this season.
“We performed much better than we did the last time we played South Whidbey,” said Coupeville coach Ken Stange. “Picking up a couple of wins was good.
“More importantly, we were competitive in most of the matches,” he added. “South Whidbey has an excellent team. Luckily, we won’t face them at districts!”
Coupeville (1-3) returns to action quickly, hosting the combined forces of Chimacum/Port Townsend Friday afternoon (3 PM) in a 1A Olympic League match.
