It’s the final week, and they want to hear from you.

Registration for the fall season of Central Whidbey Soccer closes this Saturday, August 8, and the league still needs players in several divisions to have full rosters.

All levels are still accepting players, but there is a particular need for girls and boys U8 booters, as well as girls U12 and coed U15.

They’re on a first-name basis with the back of the net.

When a new fall sports campaign kicks off in late August, Tamsin Ward and Sage Arends will lead a pack of Wolf booters hoping to add to their career totals.

Ward, who will be a sophomore, and Arends, part of the Class of 2027, are the active scoring leaders for Coupeville High School’s soccer programs.

But they’re not the only Wolves looking to continue their assault on the career goals chart, as there are 13 players with at least one tally to their credit who can take the field this fall.

The current generation is chasing Mia Littlejohn and the Leyva family, who sit atop the record books.

Littlejohn owns both the single-season and career marks for CHS female pitch powerhouses, with 27 and 35 respectively.

Meanwhile, Abraham Leyva’s 45 goals top all male Wolf scorers, while his cousin, Derek, notched 24 in one campaign, but lost his senior year (and a chance to shatter the career mark) to a pandemic.

Coupeville’s soccer programs launched in 2004, and my tally of goals is not 100% complete, as the Whidbey News-Times failed to report on multiple games in the early going.

But we’re rock-solid during the Coupeville Sports era (2012-today), and I’m absolutely confident in the names (and goal totals) at the top of the charts.

With that being said, my still-a-work-in-progress CHS soccer goal-scoring lists, with active players in bold:

Lincoln Wagner is a busy guy.

The young student/athlete, who will be a freshman at Coupeville High School in the fall, has spent the past several years competing in a wide variety of sports.

Basketball, soccer, cross country, and track and field have all drawn his attention and kept him in almost constant motion. Just the way he likes it.

“I enjoy exercising and I like to work hard to accomplish my goals,” Wagner said. “I also like being part of a team and doing fun stuff with them.”

As he makes the transition from middle school to high school, the rising star plans to focus on soccer and track.

Cross country, where he was one of the most-consistent CMS runners the past two years, falls by the wayside only because of it being played in the same season as soccer, which he hails as his favorite.

It’s the sport Wagner has been playing the longest, and one where he has shown a high skill level.

He opened the summer by knocking in the game-winning goal for the Central Whidbey U15 pitch squad as Coupeville upended Oak Harbor to win the season-ending Matt Mikos Memorial Tournament at Fort Nugent Park.

Wagner’s success is partially due to good genes — both big sis Mikayla and lil’ sis Audrey are talented athletes as well. But it’s also due to his willingness to put in the work.

“I think one of my strengths is the ability to push myself to the hardest,” he said. “But I would like to work on my mindset before I run or play to stay relaxed and locked in.

“My goal for my high school sports career is to make it to state for soccer and track,” Wagner added.

“I also want to run a sub-5-minute mile and score some goals on the soccer field.”

He devotes a fair amount of time to sports but also enjoys “doing some chill things like listening to music, gaming, or playing chess.”

Whatever is ahead for Wagner, he plans to strive to be the best, while using the lessons learned from his mentors.

“My family and coaches have had a big impact on me by making me understand that it is important to try my best and worry about my own race or game,” he said.

“Instead of comparing myself to others I focus on trying to improve and putting out my all.”

One thriller, one rout, two titles.

Central Whidbey U15 soccer squads stormed to wins Sunday at Fort Nugent Park in the championship game of the Matt Mikos Memorial Tournament.

The season-ending tourney is named in honor of an Oak Harbor dad who made a big impact in the Whidbey Island soccer community.

Central Whidbey’s girls, coached by Jerry Helm and Kimberly Kisch, romped to a 3-0 win over South Whidbey with Finley Helm throwing down the shutout while manning the goal.

That continued a hot streak for the girls, who have won four of their last five tourneys.

In the boys’ title game, which saw Central Whidbey clash with Oak Harbor, things came down to the furious final seconds.

With the game knotted at 2-2, Cow Town’s booters, who are coached by Scott Rudat, captured the title on a buzzer-beater goal off the toe of Lincoln Wagner.
