Stats? They don’t need no stinkin’ stats. Just wins!

The stat-keeper might have been missing in action Tuesday, but the Coupeville High School C-Team volleyball squad didn’t care.

The only stat that truly mattered was the final score, which read 25-16, 25-21, 25-14, as the Wolves savaged visiting South Whidbey.

The straight-sets victory lifts Coupeville’s fab frosh to a flawless 2-0 in North Sound Conference play, 3-0 overall.

First-year Wolf coach Krimson Rector has yet to lose (and has no plans to start any time soon), and she bounded out of the middle school gym beaming about her players.

“The girls played really well tonight,” she said.

The big key to the win, as it has been all season, was Coupeville’s performance at the service line, where heavy hitters like Allie Lucero, Jill Prince, and Ryanne Knoblich all sparkled.

Prince was also a force at the net, where she used her long reach to snuff out her fair share of Falcon hits.

The only thing dropping from the skies Monday was the occasional lob.

After scattered rain showers postponed their match last week, the Coupeville High School netters were able to make the short trek to South Whidbey, but fell just short of returning with a win.

Sweeping all three doubles matches, the Falcons escaped with a razor-thin 3-2 win, dropping the Wolves to 1-6 in Emerald City League play.

The all-Island rumble kicks off a busy week for Coupeville, which is scheduled to play four times in five days.

The Wolves travel to Kirkland Tuesday to face Eastside Prep, then are home Thursday (University Prep) and Friday (The Bush School).

Complete Monday varsity results:

1st Singles — Drake Borden beat Max Rodriguez 6-3, 6-1

2nd Singles — Mason Grove beat Ian Maddux 6-0, 6-0

1st Doubles — James Wood/Zach Ginnings lost to Ranger Buck/Levi Buck 6-3, 6-1

2nd Doubles — Thane Peterson/Andrew Aparicio lost to Jordan Wu/Ben Roughsedge 6-1, 6-3

3rd Doubles — Miles Davidson/Logan Martin lost to Emmett Layman/Austin Buck 6-4, 6-2

Falcons nip Wolves in tennis tussle

The Wolf net crew is (back, left to right) Ken Stange, Aparicio, Mason Grove, Koby Schreiber, Drake Borden. Front: Miles Davidson, James Wood, Thane Peterson, Zach Ginnings. Not seen: Logan Martin.

And we’re off.

The Coupeville High School boys tennis team launched the 2019 season Wednesday with a home rumble with South Whidbey, the first of three matches in three days.

While the weather cooperated on opening day, the tennis gods didn’t, however, allowing the Falcons to escape with a 4-1 win in Emerald City League play.

Barring weather shenanigans, the Wolves head to Friday Harbor Thursday, then host Eastside Prep the next afternoon.

At least in the early going, CHS will have to overcome a self-inflicted deficit in each match, as it doesn’t yet have eight fully-eligible players.

For now, that means the Wolves forfeit #2 singles, though that will change as soon as two newcomers — sophomores Miles Davidson and Logan Martin — rack up enough practices.

Coupeville’s seven active players came within a shot or two of splitting the four matches contested Wednesday against their next door neighbors.

Andrew Aparicio and Zach Ginnings controlled the net as they swept to a win at #2 doubles, while the top Wolf duo of Mason Grove and James Wood fell just short in a third-set tiebreaker.

Complete Wednesday results:

1st Singles — Drake Borden lost to Levi Buck 6-1, 6-4

2nd Singles — CHS forfeits

1st Doubles — James Wood/Mason Grove lost to Ranger Buck/Max Rodriguez 3-6, 6-4, 10-6

2nd Doubles — Zach Ginnings/Andrew Aparicio beat Ian Maddux/Ben Roughsedge 6-4, 6-3

3rd Doubles — Thane Peterson/Koby Schreiber lost to Emmett Layman/Jordan Wu 6-2, 6-2

O’Keefe boys can still hoop

No subs, no worries.

Playing with the minimum three players, “Trust the Process,” a team headed up by former Coupeville High School basketball stars Kramer and Gavin O’Keefe, finished second at a 3-on-3 hoops tourney Saturday on the South end of the Island.

The hot-shooting brothers teamed up with Kyle Collins to come within a late three-ball of winning the title, before falling to the Monstars, a squad led by former South Whidbey High School supernova Parker Collins.

“Trust the Process” dropped a close opening game, then ripped off three straight wins to emerge from the loser’s bracket and get their shot at the Monstars, who finished 4-0 in tourney play.

The five-team, double-elimination event, which is in its ninth year, was hosted by LM Premier and the South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District.

Played outside on the Rotary Court, which was built thanks to money raised by previous 3-on-3 tourneys, the hoops extravaganza raised funds for a scholarship program which covers youth basketball registration fees for families in need.

Along with the games, the event included a three-point shooting contest, won by current SWHS player Nick Young.

During their time at CHS, the O’Keefe brothers, who are part of arguably the most-successful basketball-playing family in school history, both had stellar careers.

Kramer rattled the rim for 636 points, which puts him #27 all-time on the Wolf boys career scoring chart, which has been adding names for 102 seasons.

He’s second among family members, with uncle Randy Keefe sitting at #3 all-time with 1088 points.

A horrifying string of injuries prevented Gavin from flying up the scoring chart as far as he would have, but, when he was healthy, he was a spark plug for the Wolves, playing his heart out and drilling jumpers from all angles.

Netters finally getting solid court time

It gets easier from here on out.

Most likely.

The Coupeville High School girls tennis team has played an odd schedule this spring, thanks to numerous issues, from weather to lack of non-conference foes.

When they have been able to take the court, the Wolves have clashed with two top teams, King’s and South Whidbey, and been stung twice by both schools.

A 5-0 loss at Langley Thursday leaves Coupeville sitting at 0-4 on the season heading into a road match Friday afternoon.

That opponent, Friday Harbor, is also 0-4, and the two schools meet for back-to-back contests today and then on Whidbey Apr. 30.

After that comes Coupeville’s lone non-conference match May 1 at Chimacum (2-11), before a doubleheader May 2 at Granite Falls (3-7).

The North Sound Conference tourney is set for May 7-8, also at Granite Falls, where a long string of tennis courts stretch into the sunset.

After that, if any Wolves qualify, is bi-districts May 17, and state, which goes down May 24-25.

Complete Thursday results:

Varsity:

1st Singles — Genna Wright lost to Ashley Ricketts 6-2, 6-3

2nd Singles — Jillian Mayne lost to McKenna Kelley 6-0, 6-2

1st Doubles — Tia Wurzrainer/Avalon Renninger lost to Allison Papritz/Mary Zisette 6-0, 6-2

2nd Doubles — Eryn Wood/Emily Fiedler lost to Farriss Jokinen/Ainsley Nelson 6-0, 6-0

3rd Doubles — Jaimee Masters/Abby Mulholland lost to Oliana Stange/Chloe Loehr 6-1, 6-0
