We’re in the thick of things.
Fall sports are raging across the land, and the week ahead gives Wolf fans a chance to see multiple teams play at home.
Coupeville High School volleyball leads things off, with two of three matches in their own gym
The spikers travel to Orcas Island Wednesday, before pulling off a back-to-back home bonanza with Mount Vernon Christian and East Jefferson swinging by Friday and Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Wolf soccer squads have split schedules, with the boys hosting Grace Academy Tuesday, then trekking off to Friday Harbor on Thursday.
Coupeville’s female booters are in action Wednesday on Orcas Island, before hosting MVC in a Friday Night Lights special.
The two remaining CHS squads are road warriors, with cross country visiting Bellingham Thursday for the Lake Lap Invite, while football wanders way down the road to play Medical Lake.
That last clash will technically be a road game for both teams, as they have agreed to meet in the middle in Leavenworth instead of Coupeville traveling the full 312 miles one way to the home of their non-conference foe.
As they fuel up the bus at inflated 2026 gas prices, here’s a look at where things sit through October 11:
