Need to get to bed a bit earlier on Friday nights? You’re in luck.
With Coupeville High School jumping from the 1A/2A Cascade Conference to the 1A Olympic League, a lot of its travel will be rerouted from the Clinton/Mukilteo ferry to the Coupeville (Keystone)/Port Townsend route.
Since that second run shuts down earlier in the evening (and is more unpredictable in general), a lot of Wolf games will be played at earlier times than in years past.
The Wolf football team kicks off the season with four straight home games. But, after tonight’s 7 PM battle with South Whidbey, the rest of their home games will all go off at 5:30.
That includes games 2-4 (Sequim, Chimacum and Port Townsend) as well as Homecoming against Klahowya Oct. 24.
The first road game, a first-ever trip to Klahowya Oct. 3, features a 4 PM kickoff. We’re talking a throwback to middle school start times here.
Then comes a 5 PM game at Port Townsend and a 3 PM(!) start at Chimacum, before the regular season finale at Concrete provides the only other 7 PM start of the season.
Volleyball, girls’ soccer and boys’ tennis will also be affected, so it’s a good idea you keep an active eye on the school’s schedule, or you may end up coming in to matches at the mid-point.
One note of caution: the school calendar currently lists times for both JV and varsity for soccer and volleyball. Disregard part of that, as there is no JV soccer squad this year.
