Everyone got home early.

Thanks to some quirky scheduling brought on by Spring Break, Coupeville and Forks played two soccer games Monday and were still home before most parents got done with their jobs.

Thanks to wanderin’ photo man John Fisken, who operates on his own clock, you can still wallow in snappy pitch pics, even if you weren’t at Mickey Clark Field.

Birthday fever is bouncing around out of control in Coupeville today.

Two of the most energetic of all Wolf athletes — CHS senior Sebastian Davis and sophomore Jacob Smith — share a cake day, and a style of attacking the day, every day.

Regardless of the sport (Davis plays tennis and soccer currently while Smith careens around the gridiron and track oval), the duo are explosive, highly entertaining hard workers.

They’re also exceptionally smart, very outgoing and primed to do big things in the outside world when they step away from Whidbey Island.

Sebastian, who I’ve known since he was a little guy hanging out at Videoville and Miriam’s Espresso, does it all.

The lead in (nearly) every school play, a Science Olympiad whiz kid who could teach the judges a few things and a video game player who ruthlessly defends his sprawling on-line empire against any who would dare to come for his crown, he puts the talent in multi-talented.

I know Jacob primarily from watching him work in the world of athletics, where he comes across as a super-friendly, dedicated guy, the kind of player who still takes the football field when his arm is encased in a cast so he won’t leave his teammates hanging.

Track is where he’s making his biggest splash, with back-to-back PRs in the 100 to kick off the new season.

Both Smith and Davis also show a noticeable flair for school spirit, playing The Joker and Captain Kirk, respectively, on their classes floats during the most recent Homecoming parade.

Jacob turned his hair green for the part, while Sebastian had every one of William Shatner’s tics down cold, and both played to the audience as the parade wound its way around the track at halftime.

As the dynamic duo celebrate their big days (no word on whether they’re sharing cake), we just want to take a moment to wish both of them well.

They are two of the brightest shining lights in this small town, as athletes, scholars and people, and they deserve a big round of applause from us all.

The streak won’t extend to three.

The Coupeville High School boys’ tennis team sent four players to districts Thursday, but none of them were able to slip through and advance to next spring’s state tourney.

That snapped a two-year run for the Wolves, who sent the doubles duo of Ben Etzell and Aaron Curtin to state in 2014, then returned Curtin as a singles player in 2015.

CHS senior singles sensation Sebastian Davis went the furthest Thursday, narrowly missing a trip to Eastern Washington.

He finished fourth out of eight players, winning two matches at the Sprinker Tennis Center in Tacoma.

That included eliminating his own teammate and fellow Class of 2016 mate Connor McCormick in a loser-out third round match.

The top two finishers advance to state, so Davis is the second alternate.

The grueling all-day affair left Coupeville’s players and coach drained.

“The team walking onto the ferry home looked like the starting of The Walking Dead,” Davis said with a laugh.

Complete district results:

Sebastian Davis:

Beat Luke Pate (Eatonville) 6-0, 6-1
Lost to Wyatt Iverson (Charles Wright) 6-2, 6-2
Beat Connor McCormick (Coupeville) 6-2, 6-2
Lost to Josh Tillman (Vashon Island) 6-2, 6-4

Connor McCormick:

Lost to Tillman (Vashon Island) 6-1, 6-1
Beat Spencer Winters (Klahowya) 6-3, 6-3
Lost to Sebastian Davis (Coupeville) 6-2, 6-2

William Nelson/Joey Lippo:

Lost to Raghav Agrawal/Micah Wibowo (Charles Wright)  6-1, 6-2
Lost to Jack Hannah/Taylor Backus (Cascade Christian) 6-0, 6-4

Nine went, four live on.

Led by senior Sebastian Davis, who won the singles crown, the Coupeville High School boys’ tennis squad battled through the 1A Olympic League tournament Saturday at Chimacum, dodging rain and sending a chunk of its team on to districts.

Davis and fellow senior Connor McCormick, who finished as the runner-up in singles, both advanced, as did the double duo of William Nelson and Joey Lippo, who claimed third.

The league tourney drew netters from Port Townsend, Chimacum, Klahowya and league champ Coupeville.

Also playing, but not advancing, were singles player Nick Etzell and the duos of Joseph Wedekind/John McClarin and Lilan Sekigawa/Jimmy Myers.

Coupeville was strongest on the singles side, where its three guys combined to go 6-2.

Davis held off McCormick 8-5 in the championship match to win the title.

The district tourney, the next stop on the path for these Wolves to follow in the steps of recent CHS state qualifiers like Aaron Curtin and Ben Etzell, will be Thursday in Tacoma.

Sebastian Davis:

Won 8-3 (Chimacum)
