Sparked by players like Matt Hilborn, CHS baseball has 76 varsity wins across the last seven seasons. (Photos by JohnsPhotos.net)

Wolf girls basketball and coach David King are the current champs of the Coupeville Sports era, however, with 79 wins between 2012-2019.

If you’re going to Vegas, bet on Coupeville High School sports teams combining to win 69 varsity games during the upcoming 2019-2020 school year.

Why 69?

Because, when you look back at the seven years Coupeville Sports has existed, the 10 Wolf varsity teams to keep win/loss records (so no track or cross country) have combined to claim 483 wins.

Which translates to exactly 69 a year.

Now, some years have been better than others, but, over time, everything evens out.

Those 483 wins — captured in basketball, soccer, volleyball, tennis, baseball, football and softball — have been spread out against 44 opponents.

It comes as little surprise that the biggest win totals are against Chimacum, Port Townsend, and Klahowya, the three schools with which Coupeville shared the Olympic League.

That run, from 2014-2018, accounts for four of the seven school years I’ve been writing the blog, with the first two years in the Cascade Conference and year #7 in the North Sound Conference.

Breaking it down a bit more, 433 wins came against 29 public schools, and 50 wins against 15 private schools.

That latter number includes four wins over big baddie Archbishop Thomas Murphy, but none against King’s, which has been Coupeville’s bogeyman of late.

But a new school year dawns, and the Wolves get another crack at the Knights in the second, and probably final, year of the North Sound Conference in its current incarnation.

Over the course of the last seven years, the CHS girls basketball team has the most wins, edging out softball and baseball.

The most one-sided match-up that fell in Coupeville’s favor?

It’s come on the baseball diamond, where the Wolves have beaten Port Townsend 13 times across the past seven seasons.

How it’s all broken down during the run of my blog, which stretches from Aug. 15, 2012 to today.

Can’t catch Jaelyn Crebbin.

The Coupeville Middle School 8th grader roared to a win in the 1600 Wednesday, claiming a league title at the Olympic League Track and Field Championships.

The victory came on her home oval, as Crebbin and the Wolves hosted six other schools in the season-ending event.

Coupeville finished third overall in the both the girls and boys team standings, trailing only Stevens and Sequim.

Both of those middle schools funnel students to 2A high schools and piled up a lot of their points Wednesday based on having a ton more bodies available than anyone else.

CMS added three second-place finishes, with Caleb Meyer (200), the girls 4 x 200 relay team (which featured Crebbin) and the boys 4 x 100 unit narrowly missing the top spot on the podium.

This one stings a bit.

Suffering through a cold-shooting night Tuesday, the Coupeville High School boys basketball squad dropped a game it needed and wanted.

Falling 51-37 on the road at Klahowya, the Wolves took a step back, sliding into third-place in the Olympic League.

Coupeville gets a strong chance to bounce back Friday, when it hosts win-less Chimacum on the 101st anniversary of the first hoops game in school history, but that doesn’t lessen Tuesday’s dashed hopes.

“Really just not in sync tonight. Never could get much going,” said CHS coach Brad Sherman. “Not the game we expected, but it is what it is.

“Thankfully we play them three times,” he added. “The series is still up for grabs and we know those are games we are more than capable of competing to win.”

Coupeville drops to 2-2 in league play, 4-10 overall, which leaves the Wolves trailing Port Townsend (4-1, 8-5) and Klahowya (3-1, 7-7). Chimacum (0-5, 0-9) brings up the rear.

The Wolves still have five league games left, however, with a trip back to Klahowya Saturday coming hot on the heels of Friday’s bout with Chimacum.

So, while he would have preferred a win Tuesday, Sherman knows there is still much to be resolved.

“We aren’t even half way done with our league schedule, so yes, that one hurts, but we have to keep our focus on the next one,” he said. “This group of guys is very capable of putting a run together, but they really need to believe it.

“Back to work tomorrow!”

The Eagles never really blew the Wolves out, but just steadily built a lead, turning a 14-9 advantage after one into a 23-13 lead at the half, and a 34-20 bulge headed to the final eight minutes.

In that final quarter, Coupeville held its own, with the two teams ramping up their offenses in a 17-17 battle royal.

Sophomore Mason Grove, popping up for a quarter from the JV squad, nailed a pair of three-balls and a free throw in the final quarter to pace the Wolf attack.

For the game senior Hunter Smith topped CHS with 12 points, running his career total to 725.

He is six points from passing Dan Nieder (729) and Steve Whitney (730) to move into 15th place on the Wolf boys hoops career scoring list.

Ethan Spark dropped in eight in support, while Grove and Joey Lippo knocked down seven apiece and Cameron Toomey-Stout hit a three-ball.

John Hartford led Klahowya with a game-high 18.

   With two goals and a team-high six assists, sophomore Avalon Renninger had plenty to celebrate.

The streak lives.

The Coupeville High School girls soccer squad landed three selections on this year’s Olympic League All-Conference squad, marking the fourth-straight year the Wolves have reached, or topped, that figure.

Of the league’s four schools, only Klahowya and CHS have hit that trifecta, or better, each year.

This time around, it was senior midfielder Sage Renninger, junior forward Kalia Littlejohn and freshman forward Genna Wright who got the nod.

It was the second time the two older players have been tabbed by league coaches (Renninger was also All-League in 2016, Littlejohn in 2015), while Wright was the lone 9th grader to crack this year’s roster.

The All-Conference honors were just the tip of the iceberg, though, as the Wolf booters gathered Tuesday to hand out awards at a season-capping banquet.

Renninger picked up Player of the Year honors from CHS coach Kyle Nelson, while Lauren Bayne (Most Inspirational), Natalie Hollrigell (Most Improved) and Wright (Rookie of the Year) also took home hardware.

   Coupeville’s days as a tennis power will likely take a hit when the Olympic League combines 1A and 2A programs in the sport next school year. (Photo by JohnsPhotos.net)

The path to an Olympic League tennis title has always gone through Coupeville.

Starting next school year, however, that path is going to get a lot rockier.

The Wolf boys have won two crowns in four seasons since joining the newly-created 1A division of the league in 2014, while the CHS girls are a perfect 3-for-3 heading into next spring.

In fact, the Coupeville girls have never lost a match to rivals Klahowya and Chimacum/Port Townsend, and will carry a 15-0 mark in league tilts onto the court in 2018.

While the pursuit of title #4 will remain the same, the chase for title #5 may take a substantial detour.

When the 2018-2019 school year arrives, the 1A division of the Olympic League will merge with the 2A side of things for tennis, creating a 10-team conference for the sport.

That means just one league champ, and not the current two.

The new format only covers the regular season, as 1A and 2A schools will go their own way once the postseason arrives.

All other sports will remain separated between 1A and 2A.

While Coupeville has been playing most of the Olympic League’s 2A schools in non-conference tennis matches, the new format means they would have to upend much-larger schools to retain their title-winning ways.

Instead of just thumping on the Eagles and Cowboys, the Wolves will have to also vie with North Kitsap, Sequim, North Mason, Olympic, Kingston, Bremerton and Port Angeles.

Those schools have student bodies of 527-876 students, which means Coupeville (227 in the last classification count) will experience some deja vu, harkening back to its former days competing in the 1A/2A Cascade Conference.

In the new format North Kitsap (810 students) will overwhelmingly be the team to beat.

On the boys side the Vikings are currently operating on a 41-match winning streak, dating back to a loss to Sequim in Oct. 2014.

The NK girls have lost more recently, but that’s not a common occurrence, as they are still a very-tidy 51-3 over the past four seasons.
