   Wolves (l to r) Emma Smith, Allison Wenzel and Sarah Wright celebrate a big point.

It’s in their hands.

Sweep its matches this week and the Coupeville High School volleyball squad clinches its first league title since 2001.

The Wolves, who sit atop the 1A Olympic League at 4-0, host Klahowya Tuesday (4 PM varsity/5:15 JV and C-Team), then hop across the water to face Port Townsend Thursday.

Win both and they’ll be 6-0, which would put them three games up on both Chimacum and two-time defending league champ Klahowya with three matches to play.

Since they would then finish no worse than a tie with either rival, and would own the tiebreaker over both schools, the command would go out — order a new title board for the CHS Wall of Fame.

Coupeville’s two previous league titles in volleyball came in 1997 and ’01, when the Wolves played in the Northwest Conference.

While nothing is set in stone yet, CHS volleyball reaching for the crown is the highlight of this week’s look at the current league standings in the four fall sports the Wolves compete in.

Rain-outs stung the Wolf netters, as matches against Klahowya and Chimacum were washed away.

With Coupeville having already clinched the title, neither bout will be rescheduled, which costs CHS a chance to add to its overall collection of league wins.

Picking up a win in soccer, Klahowya moved up into a tie with Coupeville, with 13 varsity wins across the fall sports.

Port Townsend (5) and Chimacum (3) are well back.

Those numbers will change tonight, as two football games which were knocked out Friday by the closing of the Hood Canal Bridge (Klahowya at Port Townsend and Chimacum at Vashon Island) will be played.

Standings through Monday morning:

Olympic/Nisqually League football:

School League Overall
Cascade Christian 4-0 7-0

Wolves still top dog!!

Jakobi Baumann and the CHS netters are league champs in 2016.

It’s a two-team race.

There are four schools in the 1A Olympic League, but this fall there has been a pretty wide chasm ripped right down the middle.

When you look at the four sports in which Coupeville competes against Port Townsend, Chimacum and Klahowya, it’s all Wolves and Eagles and very little Cowboys or RedHawks.

As it sits now, Coupeville has 13 league wins across volleyball, tennis, soccer and football, with Klahowya right behind at 11.

Port Townsend, which hasn’t won a league volleyball match and only has a handful of tennis players who compete with Chimacum, has four victories.

If it weren’t for football (where Berkley Hill has run his way to claiming the RedHawks three wins), PT would be firmly wedged in the cellar alongside the Cowboys.

Chimacum has yet to win a football game or a soccer or tennis match this fall, with the Cowboys lone W coming on the volleyball court.

The biggest news of the week came when the first of four fall titles was claimed, with Coupeville clinching its second straight boys’ tennis crown.

The battle for the other three titles, and the overall lead in varsity league wins, will intensify in the coming weeks, as the focus turns firmly to conference bouts.

Football teams have four league games left, while volleyball has five and each soccer squad still needs to play four to five games.

There are just two tennis league tilts still on the schedule, with Chimacum facing off against Coupeville and Klahowya each once more.

Unless it rains.

With the title already decided, and the league tourney fast approaching, officials decided not to reschedule any rain-outs (such as the one Oct. 6 when Coupeville was scheduled to play at Klahowya).

Up-to-the-minute standings:

Olympic/Nisqually League football:

Cascade Christian 3-0 6-0

Making their move!!

Hope and Katrina

It was a very good week.

In the last six days, Coupeville High School vaulted into sole possession of first-place for volleyball, solidified its top spot in boys tennis and moved closer to the top in both football and girls soccer.

While it’s still way early in the 2016-2017 school year, CHS currently tops its three 1A Olympic League rivals in total conference wins, edging Klahowya 10-7 across the four fall sports.

Port Townsend has three league victories so far, while Chimacum has a single one from volleyball to its credit.

Klahowya, whose vast student body dwarfs the rest of the league, has had the most league wins in the first two years of competition.

That number came down from year one to year two, though, a trend which seems to be continuing.

In 2014-2015, the Eagles won 52 league games (and five titles) across 10 sports, while Coupeville won 40 (and two).

In year two, Klahowya’s margin shrunk to 45-42, and the Wolves captured four league titles to Klahowya’s three.

Where everybody stands as of Monday morning:

Olympic/Nisqually League football:

School League Overall
Cascade Christian 2-0 5-0
Charles Wright 2-0 3-2
Port Townsend 2-0 3-2
COUPEVILLE 1-1 2-3
Klahowya 1-1 3-2
Bellevue Christian 0-2 0-5
Chimacum 0-2 1-4
Vashon Island 0-2 0-5

Klahowya 2-1 3-3
Chimacum 1-2 3-4
Port Townsend 0-3 1-6

Klahowya 3-0 5-0-2
COUPEVILLE 3-1 5-2-1

The same with Kalia Littlejohn and the red-hot CHS booters.

Time to make some history.

Tuesday could be a landmark day in Coupeville High School’s two-year-plus run in the 1A Olympic League.

Both the Wolf volleyball and girls’ soccer squads travel to Silverdale for first-place showdowns with the beast of the league, Klahowya.

Win and Coupeville makes a huge statement, claims sole possession of the top slot and breaks an undefeated run.

The Eagle spikers and booters, both 2-0 this season, have each gone 14-0 in league competition since the four-team conference began in 2014.

That puts them second only to Coupeville girls’ basketball, which is 18-0 through the first two winters of play.

Between them, the two schools boast five teams unbeaten in league play, with Klahowya boys’ soccer (12-0) and Coupeville girls’ tennis (11-0) safe at least until the spring.

The Wolves are entering Tuesday’s tilts with the strongest teams each program has boasted since jumping ship from the 1A/2A Cascade Conference.

The booters, who have one of the the state’s two leading scorers in Mia Littlejohn (16 goals in six games), have won three straight and four of their last five.

Coupeville’s spikers, meanwhile, are coming off of a huge win over 2A North Mason and are hitting the road for the first time ever under new head coach Cory Whitmore.

Where all four of the CHS varsity squads sit heading into Tuesday’s bouts:

Football:

School League Overall
Cascade Christian 1-0 4-0
Charles Wright 1-0 2-2
Klahowya 1-0 3-1
Port Townsend 1-0 2-2
COUPEVILLE 0-1 1-3
Bellevue Christian 0-1 0-4
Chimacum 0-1 1-3
Vashon Island 0-1 0-4

Volleyball:

School League Overall
Klahowya 2-0 3-1
COUPEVILLE 1-0 3-2
Chimacum 1-2 3-3
Port Townsend 0-2 1-4

Girls Soccer:

School League Overall
COUPEVILLE 2-0 4-1-1
Klahowya 2-0 4-0-1
Port Townsend 1-2 1-5-0
Chimacum 0-3 1-4-0

Boys Tennis:

School League Overall
COUPEVILLE 1-0 2-6

Now, things get serious.

Spring Break is done (and the rain is back, at least for a bit) and most Coupeville High School spring sports teams start wading into league play full-force starting this week and next.

So, it’s an ideal time to scan the standings and see how the Wolves are standing at the moment.

Spoiler: They’re sitting pretty good. Pretty, pretty, pretty good.

Now, I’m only running standings for three (baseball, softball, soccer) of the five CHS teams, since trying to decipher the track and tennis standings are pointless.

Ignore the Olympic League web site, which is riddled with errors for both sports.

In the real world, the Wolf netters are 1-2 with two matches — a 3-1 lead over Granite Falls and a 3-3 tie with Klahowya — still hanging open, waiting to be finished.

And the track squad?

Somehow the Olympic League web masters have the Wolf boys at 0-2, despite the fact they WON a four-team meet at South Whidbey.

Which would account for THREE wins.

Anyways…

Semi-solid standings, with 1A Olympic League records followed by overall records:

SOFTBALL:

Coupeville 1-0, 6-1
Chimacum 0-0, 4-2
Klahowya 0-0, 5-3
Port Townsend 0-1, 0-4

BASEBALL:

Coupeville 1-0, 4-6
Chimacum 0-0, 2-4
Klahowya 0-0, 6-2
Port Townsend 0-1, 0-6

BOYS SOCCER:

Coupeville 0-0, 2-4-1
Chimacum 0-0, 1-4-0
Klahowya 0-0, 5-1-1
Port Townsend 0-0, 2-2-1
