Some schedules to put a spring in your step

It snowed in Coupeville last night. At least a few flakes.

So, perfect time to start thinking about spring sports.

Because, if the past tells us anything, it’s this — it’ll be cold, wet, and windy through almost every game, with perfect temps and sunshine for the season finale.

And ONLY the season finale.

It’s the Whidbey way…

That being said, Coupeville High School spring teams will hit the practice field (or court, or oval), Monday, Feb. 27.

Wolf baseball has a new head coach in Steve Hilborn, while Kevin McGranahan (softball), Elizabeth Bitting and Bob Martin (track and field), and Ken Stange (girls’ tennis) are all back to add another season to their resumes.

Nick Guay should be back to soar into the heavens.

With the pandemic having receded, there are full schedules for the first time in several seasons.

Both CHS softball and baseball are set to play 20 regular-season games, with three league games against fellow 2B schools La Conner and Friday Harbor, and two each against the 1B schools.

Mount Vernon Christian doesn’t field a softball program, however, so McGranahan’s crew picks up an extra road double-header with Eastern Washington power Onalaska.

Tennis is the trickiest sport to schedule, as just two of seven NWL teams play the sport.

That means four matchups between Coupeville and Friday Harbor, with the rest of the schedule filled out with bigger schools.

The Wolves currently have home-and-away series with 1A schools South Whidbey and Granite Falls, and Coupeville Athletic Director Willie Smith plans to add several more, with 3A Oak Harbor a likely contender.

The schedules below are valid as of Feb. 14, but can, and very likely will be tweaked as things play out.

For one thing, barring some kind of miracle all-sun-all-the-time spring for the first time in recorded history on the prairie, Mother Nature will shake things up.

“I can’t feel the lower half of my body on this sublime “spring” day, Skippy, but please kid, take your sweet time throwing a whole bunch of warmup pitches…”

God’s chosen sport on the horizon

Posted in Basketball, tagged , , , , on November 1, 2022| Leave a Comment »

There’s something for everyone.

The 2022-2023 Coupeville High School basketball schedules include conference rumbles, non-league tilts, and even a visit to a far-away holiday tournament.

Both the Wolf girls and boys hoops squads are set to travel to Leavenworth in late Dec. for the Cascade Hoops Classic, where they’ll each play twice against top-level competition.

When it comes to Northwest 2B/1B League play, CHS faces fellow 2B schools Friday Harbor and La Conner twice, while also having a home-and-away series with 1B Mount Vernon Christian.

Coupeville only plays the other 1B schools — Orcas Island, Concrete, and Darrington — once, however.

That leaves plenty of time to play non-league schools, and the rivalry games with next-door neighbor South Whidbey lead off the season.

Who is missing? Oak Harbor, the 3A school to the north which fell hard to the Wolf boys last season.

Intentional? Not intentional?

Who’s to say, though last time the Wildcat boys lost to Coupeville on the hardwood, they didn’t play us again for a decade, so…

As you mull over various conspiracy theories, a look at the hoops schedules as they sit today, with varsity listed first, then JV, and * marking league games:

Sat-Dec. 10 — Sultan (5:15/7:00)

Thur-Dec. 15 — @ Sedro-Woolley (7:15/5:30)
Sat-Dec. 17 — @ Forks (1:00/2:30)
Tues-Dec. 27 — @ Cascade Hoops Classic – Game #1 (TBA) — Varsity only

CHS spring sports schedules bloom

One season runs into another.

Basketball is still going, with the Coupeville High School boys at the state tourney in Spokane, but the first days of spring sports are also upon us.

Practice began Monday for Wolf softball, girls tennis, track, and baseball, and games are less than two weeks away.

After back-to-back disrupted campaigns thanks to the pandemic, the plan is for an almost normal spring this time around.

Baseball and softball have full 20-game seasons scheduled, track returns to participating in big invitationals, and playoffs loom at the end of the season.

Plus, with everyone heading outdoors, and many restrictions being eased, Covid testing for prep athletes is out, along with mask mandates.

Below you’ll find schedules for the four CHS spring sports, with one caveat.

Girls tennis, a sport played by only two of the seven Northwest 2B/1B League schools — Friday Harbor and Coupeville — does not have a complete schedule yet.

Friday Harbor’s courts are being worked on, meaning the Wolves and Wolverines will only play on Whidbey Island this season.

Meanwhile CHS Athletic Director Willie Smith is busy tracking down more non-conference tilts for the Wolf netters, with Oak Harbor among those expected to say yes.

To keep up to date on schedules which can (and will) change, likely due to weather shenanigans and not the pandemic, check out:

Plan your basketball-filled nights

Savina Wells rifles a pass to Maddie Georges.

The non-conference rivalries are back.

As well as full schedules.

Looking ahead to the winter season, when the one true sport, basketball, takes hold of Coupeville, those are the first two things of note.

After playing a pared-down schedule due to Covid, the Wolf hoops teams are set to return to a much more normal reality this time around.

Hopefully.

The ongoing pandemic is still affecting things, often forcing scheduling changes and a flexible attitude for coaches, players, administrators, and fans.

But for now things look decent, with Oak Harbor and South Whidbey both back on the schedule, and Coupeville’s teams set to attend a mid-season tourney in Port Townsend.

How things sit, as of today — seven weeks out from the season opener.

(*) = league game; times are JV first, varsity second.
