Two sophomores led the team in scoring, but it was a plucky senior who was at the center of things.

Sean Donley was the heart and grit of the Coupeville High School boys’ soccer squad, and he capped his final season as a Wolf by being honored as the Player of the Year at a team banquet Wednesday.

Donley also was named a Second-Team All-Conference midfielder by Cascade Conference coaches, an honor he shared with senior defender Brett Arnold and sophomore scoring sensation Abraham Leyva.

Leyva, who rained down a team-high 11 goals in his first season with CHS, was named the team’s Rookie of the Year. Arnold won Most Inspirational and junior Aaron Wright took home Most Improved.

JV awards went to Ryan Freeman (Player of the Year), Josh Datin (Most Inspirational) and Jeremiah Pace (Most Improved).

Birthday Bonanza: Bundy flies high!!

Posted in Boys Soccer, Happy birthday, tagged , , , on May 28, 2014| Leave a Comment »

Zane Bundy, the matinee idol of CHS soccer.

Zane Bundy, the matinee idol of CHS soccer.

Zane Bundy is the real deal.

He had a huge breakout season this year on the soccer pitch for Coupeville High School, popping goals (he was the second-leading scorer) and assisting on a ton more.

After seeing limited time as a freshman, he was electric as a sophomore, teaming with fellow tenth grader Abraham Leyva to herald the arrival of something CHS rarely had a season ago — offense.

Bundy lit up the net, helped carry Coupeville to a stunning win over South Whidbey and always looked good doing it, rockin’ the best kicks on the team.

It’s still kind of weird for me to see him stepping front and center as a star athlete, because my earliest memories of Zane, who celebrates his 16th birthday today, are of a little kid zooming around Videoville and David’s DVD Den, during my years behind the counter.

Now, he’s a stylishly-dressed two-sport athlete (tennis and soccer) and Homecoming royalty who boasts dance moves that rival the best of Jagger and Swayze.

Through it all, he has remained the same good-natured, super-friendly little dude (well, maybe not little, as he’s actually fairly tall now) he always was.

And you know what? Coupeville is lucky to have him, both as an athlete and as a first-class person.

Happy birthday, Mr. Bundy. The best is yet to come.

Let's get it on!

Let’s get it on!

Soccer balls were flying all over the playing fields at Fort Nugent this weekend.

The annual Rock On 3v3 tourney attracted 60 teams and 320 participants, who all competed in a fast-paced game on a small field with no goalies and limited players.

The Coupeville-based squad of Kicks With Dre, headlined by current and former Wolf stars (Zane Bundy, Grayson Knott, Andre Stone, Evan Amulexen-Coleman and Travis Curtin), ran away with the adult division.

Their opponent in the final was almost a veteran squad comprised of local coaches and dads, the OGFC.

That squad (Sean LeVine, Mark Bundy, Kyle Nelson, Ben Leyva and Robert Wood) went unbeaten at 1-0-2, but came up just short of a win in its final match to get to the championship.

Multiple teams boasted talent from the the Whidbey Islanders GU18 select soccer squad, as well.

They’re back.

It was only a short time ago that the Whidbey Islanders GU18 select soccer squad finished off a spectacular late-season run by going undefeated in its final nine games.

Now, the team, which brings together players from Coupeville, Oak Harbor and South Whidbey, is back, with a few additions and a couple of subtractions.

Practice starts in late May and the new-look Islanders will take to the competitive pitch under coaches Sean LeVine and Scott Rosenkranz with a tournament in Tukwila in June.

With a roster dominated this go-round by seniors-to-be, the Islanders will play in three college showcase tourneys.

They’ll also pick up some other tournaments along the way, play in the State Cup and kick off their regular winter season after the high school season plays out in the fall.

The roster:

Alyssa Cross
Gillian Crossley
Hailey Erbe
Jacki Ginnings
Jacalyn Hefflefinger
Micky LeVine
Ayla Muller
Bailee Olson
Becca Pabona
Lydia Peplinski
Kenzie Perry
Erin Rosenkranz
Jenn Spark
Vivien Valles
Kendra Warwick
Paige Waterman
