The net is in the mood to receive.

With both Coupeville High School soccer teams off to strong starts this fall, 16 different Wolves have already scored at least one goal.

The girls, who sit atop the Northwest 2B/1B League, are 3-0-1 overall, with nine players combining to have knocked in 15 scores.

And that’s all without Tamsin Ward, who rattled the nets for a team-high 15 goals as a freshman last season but is out for several weeks with an injury.

Meanwhile the Wolf boys are 2-1, with Edmund Wilson leading a seven-pack of scorers who have accounted for 12 goals and counting.

Where things sit through September 21:

 

GIRLS:

Ariella Lee-Spaulding – 3
Lucy Schisel – 3
Lyla Grose – 2
Lillian Ketterling – 2
Scarlet Barnes – 1
Hazel Goldman – 1
Olivia Hall – 1
Bella Sandlin – 1
Bettie Woolworth – 1

 

BOYS:

Edmund Wilson – 4

Time to fire up the busses and pay through the nose for gas.

After a home-heavy opening to the fall sports season, Coupeville High School athletic teams hit the open road for six of seven events this coming week.

The only Wolf team to play at home is the girls’ soccer squad, which hosts La Conner Thursday after traveling to Mount Vernon Christian two days earlier.

Volleyball and boys’ soccer each have a pair of away games, with the spikers hitting MVC Tuesday and Sultan Saturday, while the booters go to Grace Academy Wednesday and Evangel Classical Friday.

Wrapping things up, CHS cross country bounces over to Orcas Island for a meet Wednesday afternoon, while football has a bye week after its planned opponent bailed after losing its coach.

As the Wolves get ready for a week of bouncing across the backroads of Washington state, here’s where things sit win/loss wise through September 20:

It’s early, but everything is trending upward.

The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association has entered the chat, releasing its first Rating Percentage Index rankings, and the computers are firmly in favor of both Coupeville High School soccer squads.

The Wolf boys, who sit at 2-0 heading into a Thursday home clash with Friday Harbor, open at #3 out of 22 schools in the 2B/1B rankings, trailing just Upper Columbia Academy and two-time defending state champ Orcas Island.

Meanwhile, the CHS girls, coming off an impressive shutout win against Providence Classical Christian, are #6 in a field of 47 schools.

The Wolves (2-0-1) are the top-rated Northwest 2B/1B League team currently — at least according to the WIAA computers — with Northwest Christian (Colbert), Brewster, Upper Columbia Academy, Davenport, and Chesterton Academy comprising the top five.

RPI, while fun to debate, doesn’t ultimately control anything.

The statistical system, which uses winning percentage, opponents’ winning percentage, and opponents’ opponents’ winning percentage, comes in to play only after teams have advanced to the state tourney.

After that, RPI is “one tool utilized by the seeding committees to determine first round bracket pairings.”

Two games, two wins, a whole bunch of photos.

Both of the Coupeville High School soccer teams defended their turf in their home openers, with the Wolf boys bashing Cedar Park Christian-Lynnwood 7-2 and the CHS girls slipping past Mariner 2-1 for a David vs. Goliath win against a 4A rival.

Along for the ride was Monica Grant, who brings us the pics seen above and below.

Olivia Hall carves a path through the Mariner defense.

Liam Lawson is a gentleman, but he’s still winning the battle for this ball.

Ariella Lee-Spaulding contemplates her own awesomeness.

As the sun sinks into the prairie, pitch action heats up.

Lillian Ketterling stays one step ahead of her rivals.

And now we’re really rolling.

After a solid week of action, Northwest 2B/1B League schools are fully invested in the fall sports season, with things continuing to rachet up in intensity.

All five Coupeville High School teams play in the coming week, with four of the five having multiple events.

Cross country hosts a home meet Wednesday at Fort Casey, then heads down island Saturday for the Carl Westling Invite at South Whidbey, while Wolf football hosts Ilwaco under Saturday Night Lights.

Meanwhile volleyball hits the road to play South Whidbey Wednesday before hosting Orcas Island Friday, with both CHS soccer teams remaining at home for multiple games.

The Wolf girls host Providence Classical Christian Wednesday and Orcas Friday, while the boys squad welcomes La Conner to town Tuesday and Friday Harbor travels to Mickey Clark Field Thursday.

With a busy, and home-heavy schedule on the docket, here’s where things sit through September 13:
