Abraham Leyva is fighting hard for a league scoring title.

The Coupeville High School sophomore launched his seventh goal of the season into the back of the net Monday night in Everett, punching a penalty kick past a flailing goaltender.

Unfortunately for the Wolves, Leyva’s score was their only one of the evening, and they fell 5-1 to host King’s.

The loss dropped Coupeville to 4-4 overall, 3-4 in Cascade Conference play at the halfway point of the season.

The Wolves sit one game behind King’s (4-3 in league) and two back of South Whidbey (5-2) in the chase for the two 1A playoff spots the league has to offer.

The Knights proved to be a tough match-up for Coupeville, CHS coach Kyle Nelson said.

“We got beat by a strong King’s team. The strong physical play wore us down,” he said.

Leyva broke off a spectacular run on the goal and was fouled in the penalty box, setting up his penalty kick.

King’s countered with a hat trick off the toe of Ryan Fransen to put the game away. That gave Fransen eight goals on the season, sliding him past Leyva for the league lead.

Abraham Leyva has the magic touch.

The Coupeville High School sophomore is currently tied for the Cascade Conference boys’ soccer scoring lead with a pair of Archbishop Thomas Murphy players.

Leyva has punched in six goals for the Wolves (4-3 overall, 3-3 in league play), which leaves him in a dead-heat with ATM scorers Christian Thode and Brady Henderson for the scoring title.

And he’s getting help, as fellow CHS sophomore Zane Bundy has found the back of the net four times, tying him with South Whidbey’s Jeff Meier and King’s Forrest Perry for third on the scoring chart.

Eight players have scored four or more times, with a pair of players from King’s — Taylor Moe and Ryan Fransen — having tallied five apiece to tie for second.

“I gotta be me…” (Wendy McCormick photos)

“Gotta be free!!”

And one for the Christmas card to Gramma…

It’s all about the photo.

You can run 2,000 words on their progeny and parents will be like, “nice…,” then you run one photo and they run around in circles, screaming like they’ve gone mad.

So, being reasonably smart, I give you not one, but three youth soccer photos from Wendy McCormick.

Some of the girls featured may one day make the jump from these fields to wearing the red and black for Coupeville High School. Some won’t.

But, at this moment, they all got their picture on Coupeville Sports. So, that’s something.

Cue the running and the screaming and the hootin’ and the hollerin’ from the parents in three, two, one…

“Sweet victory!!”

Josh Datin was called up to varsity action and played solid defense in the victory.

The goals came back.

A game after suffering its first shutout of the season, the Coupeville High School boys’ soccer team rediscovered its shooting touch and peppered visiting Granite Falls Friday night.

With Abraham Leyva scoring twice, the Wolves pounded the winless Tigers 4-1 to clinch a better record than the squad had last season — and they still have more than half the regular season left to play.

Now 4-3 overall, 3-3 in Cascade Conference play, CHS moved into a tie with King’s for the second 1A playoff spot out of the 1A/2A league. The Knights are 4-4, 3-3 after losing 4-2 to Cedarcrest Friday.

Coupeville travels to Everett to play the first of two match-ups against King’s Tuesday, April 15, the start of four straight games on the road.

Included in that span is a rematch with South Whidbey (6-2, 4-2), which holds a slim edge among 1A teams, despite a 1-0 loss to Archbishop Thomas Murphy Friday.

Coupeville won the first meeting of the Whidbey rivals this season.

Two of the three 1A schools in the eight team league qualify for the postseason.

With the win Friday, the Wolves assured themselves that, even with nine games left on the schedule, they will finish better than the 2013 squad, which went 3-14.

Coupeville did it, as they have all season, with an electrifying offense that caused soccer mom Janine Bundy to declare “Sweet victory! It was fun!!!”

Her son, sophomore sensation Zane Bundy, bounced back from a recent lung infection to break open the scoring a mere 45 seconds into play. It was his fourth goal of the year.

After that, the goals came fast and furious, with senior Sean Donley punching in his second of the season and Leyva hitting twice to run his team-leading total to six.

Joel Walstad got the win in goal for the Wolves, who also gave playing time to two JV hustlers.

Ryan Freeman and Josh Datin made the transition and both had an impact, with Freeman pushing hard on offense and Datin scrappin’ on D.
