   Zane Bundy, seen here on the charge in an earlier game, punched in his second goal of the season Friday in a 3-0 win.

Now they’re rolling.

Recording their second-straight 3-0 win Friday, the Coupeville High School boys’ soccer squad officially kicked off a winning streak.

This victory came in Puyallup, with host Cascade Christian bowing to the suddenly-potent Wolf attack.

Now 2-4-1 on the season, Coupeville will try and stretch the streak out to three when it travels to Forks Monday.

That will be a rematch (the Wolves knocked off the Spartans this past Monday on Whidbey) and will cap the non-conference portion of the schedule.

After that one, CHS has a run of six straight 1A Olympic League games beginning with a home game Thursday, Apr. 14 against Port Townsend (2-2-1).

Facing off with a win-less Cascade Christian squad Friday, the Wolves rattled home three goals, with three different players hitting the back of the net.

Abraham Leyva tallied his ninth goal, while keeping alive his streak of having scored in every game this season.

Fellow seniors Zane Bundy and Sebastian Davis netted scores as well. It was the second goal of the season for each of them.

Leyva and Zack Nall each picked up an assist while Wolf goalie Connor McCormick notched his second straight shutout.

“We played our best game to date,” said CHS coach Kyle Nelson. “A very balanced game with some great defense, and a quick attack going forward.”

pizza party

   The weather was so nice, Wolf athletes (l to r) Emma Smith, Kiara Burdge, Ally Roberts and Maddy Hilkey decided to throw an impromptu pizza party.

Sarah Wright

   Sarah Wright, a huge factor in Coupeville softball starting 6-1 this season, strides across home with one of her team’s 67 runs.

Sebastian Wurzrainer

   When he’s not busy being accepted to Dartmouth, Sebastian Wurzrainer donates a bit of his time to being the best soccer manager in recorded history.

McKenzie Bailey

   It takes every bit of concentration for noted photo-bug McKenzie Bailey to not turn when she hears the click of the camera, but she has a point to win right now.

It’s almost over.

Thursday is the third consecutive day with no live sports in Wolf Nation, as Spring Break continues to unfold in all its laid-back charm.

Once we hit Friday, however, we’re back at it, at least for a moment.

Coupeville High School baseball hits the road to La Conner, while Wolf boys’ soccer travels to Puyallup to face Cascade Christian.

Until then, we offer up a smorgasbord of spring sports pics, drawing on all five CHS teams and fans alike, to remind you what they would all look like if they were in action.

Abraham Leyva (in white) has scored in all six CHS games this season.

Every time Abraham Leyva steps on the soccer pitch, he has a pretty good idea where the net is sitting.

The Coupeville High School senior is the leading scorer in Wolf boys’ soccer history and he’s making a run at breaking his own single-season mark.

Through six games this season, Leyva has tallied eight goals — he hit one in each of the first five games, then went for a hat-trick Monday against Forks.

With eight regular season games left (and then hopefully a decent playoff run), he’s already more than halfway to the 14 goals he scored as a junior.

Toss in 11 as a sophomore and Leyva has scored 33 times in a little under 2.5 seasons in the red and black.

I was going to compare how his total in 2016 matched up with other booters in the state, but had little luck tracking down other numbers.

The Seattle Times and MaxPreps are a jumble right now (the consistency of girls soccer teams reporting their stats in the fall apparently didn’t carry over to the spring).

Best I could find was Nick Iregui of Charles Wright Academy, who is listed with nine goals, and Reyes Garcia of Hazen, who supposedly has eight.

But both of their stats are just as jumbled as everyone else, so who really knows?

My list of CHS varsity goal scorers, however, I can vouch for:

Abraham Leyva — 8
William Nelson –2
Zane Bundy — 1
Sebastian Davis — 1
Ethan Spark — 1

Everyone got home early.

Thanks to some quirky scheduling brought on by Spring Break, Coupeville and Forks played two soccer games Monday and were still home before most parents got done with their jobs.

Thanks to wanderin’ photo man John Fisken, who operates on his own clock, you can still wallow in snappy pitch pics, even if you weren’t at Mickey Clark Field.

Teo

  Keilwitz saw some varsity action on both sides of the ball during his rookie season.

He’s a star on the rise.

Having made the jump to high school sports this year, Wolf freshman Teo Keilwitz is already starting to make a name for himself.

After playing football in the fall, where he saw some varsity action on both sides of the ball and was a leader for the JV, he’s currently running the pitch with the CHS booters.

A midfielder for the Wolves, he’ll see action today on his birthday when Coupeville hosts Forks in non-conference games (12:30 varsity/2:30 JV).

Of course, Keilwitz is not just an athlete, also bringing big brain power to his role on the school’s always-electrifying Science Olympiad team as well.

A strong mix of book smarts and athletic skills, he seems to have an especially bright future ahead of him.

As he continues to become a vital part of Wolf Nation, we want to take a quick moment to say happy birthday to Teo.

May your day, and the years to come, both at CHS and beyond, be blessed, Mr. Keilwitz.
