They’re young, but ready to win now.

Sparked by goals from freshman Tamsin Ward and 8th grader Lyla Grose, the Coupeville High School girls’ soccer squad toppled visiting Providence Classical Christian 2-1 Monday night in a prairie thriller.

The victory lifts the Wolves, whose program was shut down the past two seasons, to 2-6 heading into the final third of the regular season.

Facing off with Providence, the Wolves relied on their two biggest offensive weapons this season.

Grose banked in her third goal of the campaign, while Ward found the back of the net for the eighth time.

The fab frosh, who played on a CHS co-ed squad last season as an 8th grader, is moving up the career scoring chart at a frantic rate.

With those eight goals, Ward already sits in a tie with Wolf grads Sophie Martin and Sage Renninger as the #7 scorer in Coupeville girls’ soccer history.

With the majority of their prep pitch careers still ahead of them, Ward and Grose are chasing Mia Littlejohn (35), Kalia Littlejohn (33), Genna Wright (20), Lindsey Roberts (17), Ayden Wyman (13), and Avalon Renninger (12) on the all-time list.

See net. Shoot. Score.

Now it’s rarely that simple, what with defenders hanging all over you and often having to dodge weather hazards, but soccer players with the magic touch can make it look easy.

As we roll through the end of September and eyeball October’s arrival, it seems like a great time to pause and tally up the goals scored by Coupeville High School booters so far.

At the moment there are nine Wolves — five girls and four boys — who have combined to drill the nets for 19 goals.

Topping the pack is freshman Tamsin Ward, who is three scores away from joining Mia Littlejohn, Genna Wright, and Kalia Littlejohn as the only Wolf girls to record double-digit scoring totals in a single season.

Where things stand through Sept. 28:

Girls:

Tamsin Ward – 7
Lyla Grose – 2
Paige Hill – 2
Finley Helm – 1
Ariella Lee-Spaulding – 1

Boys:

Sage Arends – 2
Brian Thompson – 2
Liam Lawson – 1
Edmund Wilson – 1

Ward has pop, Wolves have passion

The building blocks are in place.

Having revived the girls’ soccer program at Coupeville High School after a two-year absence, the young Wolves are busy learning under fire.

Lesson #2 came Wednesday afternoon on the prairie, as visiting Lopez Island sent Coupeville tumbling to a 7-1 loss.

While the defeat dropped the pitch warriors to 0-2 on the very young season, the final score was a bit deceptive.

“Our efforts did not depict our play,” said CHS coach Jasmine Ader. “Overall, I’m happy with our first two performances.

“We are moving the ball well and we are able to be dynamic in the final third.”

Paige Hill kicks it into overdrive.

Coupeville sent a fair amount of balls at the Lobos goal, raining down 28 shots on frame, but were denied by a stellar defensive effort from Lopez.

Freshman Tamsin Ward did break through, rattling home her fourth goal of the campaign off of an assist from senior captain Frankie Tenore.

With a road trip to La Conner on the books for Friday, Ader and her young squad — more than half the roster is comprised of 8th graders — will continue to strive for excellence.

“Once the Wolves have a healthy 15-person roster, success is endless,” Ader said. “The efforts that this team is putting in will have great rewards.

“Each day the Wolves are getting better individually and meshing together as a team.”

Wolves score big in finale

They doubled up on day two.

Putting an emphatic stamp on the season Thursday, the Coupeville Middle School track and field team picked up three more titles at the Cascade League Championships.

Competing at Lakewood, the Wolves claimed wins in the shot put (Collin Mirabile and Diesel Eck) and high jump (Malachi Chapa).

That comes on the heels of three titles Monday in the opener of the two-day finale, when Tamsin Ward (shot put, high jump) and Les Queen (discus) reigned supreme.

With his victory, Eck, a CMS 7th grader, reaches 13 wins on the season — the most for a Wolf middle school boy in one go-round.

At least according to athletic.net, which goes back to 2008 with its middle school results.

Tamsin Ward exchanges well wishes with a rival.

Ward, who had two top-three performances in sprint races Thursday, finished her final CMS campaign with 16 wins, second-best all-time behind Lindsey Roberts 18-win season as an 8th grader in 2015.

With 39 wins across three seasons, Ward departs the middle school scene with the CMS career record.

While Monday’s meet featured a mix of prelims and finals, Thursday was all finals, with the Wolves holding up well.

Competing under the brightest spotlight, CMS athletes racked up 21 PRs on the final day of the season.

Zaydyn Dees streaks to a PR in the 800.

“An amazing fact about track and field is that PRs become increasingly more challenging to earn each time you get one,” said Coupeville coach Jon Gabelein.

“Despite this logic, several of our athletes were able to overcome that challenge today.”

Coupeville’s 6th/7th grade boys finished second in the team standings behind Lakewood, while both CMS girls’ teams claimed 4th.

The Wolf 8th grade boys were 5th in a seven-team field.

South Whidbey swept team titles in both girls’ competitions, with King’s coming out on top among 8th grade boys’ squads.

Wolf coaches preached growth and improvement, something their young athletes demonstrated all season.

“We hope that our athletes found this year’s track season to be a rewarding adventure,” Gabelein said.

“The hard work they put in has made them stronger and faster than they were when they started. I encourage them to stay active throughout their summer.

“They really came together as a team and supported one another.

“I enjoyed helping them stay on the path towards continued improvement and realize that even the not-so-great results can be steps towards further growth.”
