Prepare your derriere. Then sit it down on the rock-hard bleachers.

If this Saturday’s Coupeville vs. South Whidbey basketball doubleheader wasn’t big enough, now the Booster Club is upping the ante.

The only time this season both the Wolf girls and boys will be playing at home on the same night, it’s been tabbed as a Pack the Stands event as well.

The Booster Club is sweetening the deal with giveaways and prizes, and CHS fans are asked to sport their team colors (that would be, in some order, red, white and black).

Both varsity games will be in the high school gym (boys at 5:15, girls at 7:00) with JV teams flip-flopped, playing across the hallway in the middle school gym.

Tuesday was the appetizer, Thursday is the main course.

Two days before it heads off to the Olympic League tournament, the Coupeville High School boys’ tennis squad wrapped up regular-season play with a 6-2 non-conference loss at South Whidbey.

The match gave the Wolves, who finished 5-8 on the season, some valuable court time, as two of their previous three matches were rained-out.

With little at stake, CHS shuffled its roster a bit Tuesday, giving doubles ace Joey Lippo his first crack at playing singles.

Thursday, the Wolves will take three singles players (Nick Etzell, Jakobi Baumann and Mason Grove) and three doubles duos to Chimacum for the league tourney.

John McClarin/Joseph Wedekind, Lippo/William Nelson and Grey Rische/Jimmy Myers will represent CHS, which went 4-0 in conference play to nab its second straight regular season league title.

The top four finishers in each flight at the league tourney advance to districts Oct. 26-27.

Complete Tuesday results:

1st singles — Joey Lippo lost to Levi Buck 2-6, 6-2, 7-6(7-2)

2nd singles — Nick Etzell beat Jeffrey Parker 6-3, 6-0

3rd singles — Jakobi Baumann lost to Nick Simmons 7-5, 4-6, 10-2

4th singles — Mason Grove beat Andrew Baeslar (retired)

1st doubles — Joseph Wedekind/John McClarin lost to Ryan Wenzek/Austin Sterba 7-5, 6-2

2nd doubles — Grey Rische/Jimmy Myers lost to Kody Newman/Cameron Asay 6-2, 6-2

3rd doubles — Aiden Crimmins/Tiger Johnson lost to Ari Rohan/Aengus Dubendorf 6-0, 6-1

4th doubles — Jaschon Baumann/Zach Ginnings lost to Larsen Christiansen/Sean Drake 6-3, 6-0

Well, it didn’t rain, so that was a positive.

Keeping alive an unprecedented run for fall tennis, the Coupeville boys net squad completed its sixth straight match without interruption Thursday.

That was about the end of the good news for the Wolves however, as they took a 4-1 beating at the hands of host South Whidbey in a non-conference bout.

The loss dropped Coupeville to 1-5 heading into another out-of-league road tilt Friday, this time against 2A North Kitsap.

Facing off with the Falcons, who are generally the cream of the crop when it comes to Whidbey tennis, the Wolves lone win was a three-set affair at second doubles.

William Nelson and Joey Lippo rallied in the third set to wax their rivals 6-1, making up for dropping the second set.

Complete results:

Varsity:

1st singles — Nick Etzell lost to Kody Newman 6-1, 6-0

2nd singles — Jakobi Baumann lost to Ari Rohan 6-1, 6-2

1st doubles — Joseph Wedekind/John McClarin lost to Hank Papritz/Ryan Wentz 7-5, 6-1

2nd doubles — Joey Lippo/William Nelson beat Levi Buck/Larson Christensen 6-3, 2-6, 6-1

3rd doubles — Jimmy Myers/Grey Rische lost to Aengus Dubendorf/Austin Sterba 6-0, 6-4

JV:

4th doubles — Mason Grove/Nile Lockwood lost 8-4

5th doubles — Aiden Crimmins/Elliot Johnson lost 8-6

6th doubles — Jaschon Baumann/Tiger Johnson lost 8-6

7th doubles — Zachary Ginnings/Koby Schreiber lost 8-3

Battle for The Bucket bumped!!

One extra day to fan the rivalry flames.

The biggest football game of the year will be the first one this season for Coupeville High School, but the day it will be played is changing.

The Wolves host Island arch-rival South Whidbey in their first game under new head coach Jon Atkins, when they will bid to reclaim The Bucket after losing it last year in Langley.

The game, originally set for Friday, Sept. 2, is being bumped a day due to a shortage in available game officials.

It’s now set for Saturday, Sept. 3, with kickoff at 7 PM.

Coupeville, which is currently working on installing a new track oval around the football field, offered to make the change for a number of reasons.

“I volunteered us to move out,” said CHS Athletic Director Willie Smith. “I did this for a couple of reasons: it will give our new football staff one more day to prepare, it gives maintenance another day to prep, we will get a great draw no matter what with South Whidbey, so it just makes sense.”

The Falcons upended the Wolves 27-14 in last year’s opener — a game most famous for South Whidbey’s aging scoreboard going dark for more than a quarter.

While both schools are coming off of less-than-spectacular 1-9 seasons (Coupeville beat Chimacum last year, while South Whidbey was win-less after opening night), the rivalry burns bright.

At the heart of the battle is The Bucket, which is a … bucket, which bears Coupeville’s logo and school colors on one side and South Whidbey’s on the other.

The winning school holds on to the trophy until the next year’s game.

The two teams have traded ownership back-and-forth in recent years, with the Wolves winning in 2012 (18-13) and 2014 (35-28).

Another lesson learned!!

The Falcons got a bit of revenge.

Playing a hastily scheduled game Saturday to bulk up their schedules, South Whidbey and Coupeville’s JV baseball squads went toe-to-toe in Langley for much of the morning.

In the end, though, it was the hometown team’s bats that got hot last, as the Falcons scored nine unanswered runs across the fourth and fifth innings to nab an 11-7 win.

The loss dropped the Wolf JV to 5-2-1 on the season, with one game left on their schedule. That’s a proposed road trip to Klahowya Wednesday, May 4.

Facing off with the Falcons a day after the Wolf varsity won its first league title in 25 years, the Wolves scratched out an early run, before the two teams played hot potato with the lead.

South Whidbey went up 2-1, Coupeville responded with a four-run fourth to surge ahead 5-2, then thew floor fell out from beneath its feet when it surrounded four in the fourth and five in the fifth.

Fighting until the end, the Wolves scored two in the top of the seventh, but the late rally died out as quickly as it began.

Coupeville had a chance to stretch out its pitching, using four hurlers — Jonathan Thurston, Dane Lucero, Ty Eck and Nick Etzell — on the day.

Thurston was the most effective, tossing two scoreless innings and whiffing three Falcons to kick things off.

Jake Pease scored twice to pace the Wolf attack.

CHS coach Chris Smith was philosophical about the game, disappointed in a loss, but eager to use it as a teaching tool.

“Some good plays, some not so good. Some good plate appearances, some not so good,” was how the hardball guru summed it up.

Lessons learned, on to the next game.
