There is very little room for error when playing in the toughest tennis league in the state.

That point was driven home Thursday, as the Coupeville High School netters, playing their third match in as many days, were nipped 3-2 by the visitors from The Bush School.

The loss, which drops the Wolves to 6-5 in Emerald City League play, 7-5 overall, was a reversal from the first time the two schools faced off eight days ago.

Back then it was Coupeville which snuck away with a 3-2 win, thanks to a late victory at #1 singles in a third-set tiebreaker.

Thursday, the Blazers returned the favor, bouncing back to sweep both singles matches and win at #1 doubles.

CHS wraps its regular season run next week with home matches against undefeated Seattle Academy Oct. 15 and win-less Eastside Prep Oct. 17. The second rumble is Senior Night for the Wolves.

After that, Coupeville sends two singles players and two doubles teams to the ECL tourney Oct. 19 at the Amy Yee Tennis Center in Seattle.

If the Wolves qualify, districts are the next day at the same locale.

 

Complete Thursday results:

 

Varsity:

1st Singles — Jakobi Baumann lost 6-4, 6-2

2nd Singles — Drake Borden lost 6-3, 7-6(12-10)

1st Doubles — Mason Grove/James Wood lost 6-4, 6-1

2nd Doubles — Jacob Burke/Zach Ginnings won 6-1, 7-6(7-1)

3rd Doubles — Jaschon Baumann/Tiger Johnson won 6-4, 0-6, 11-9

 

JV:

3rd Singles — Koby Schreiber won 6-1, 5-7, 10-7

Time to rumble!!

You win some, you lose some, you move on.

Coupeville High School fall sports teams pulled a .500 record last week, winning three varsity contests and losing three.

Volleyball and soccer fell to King’s, the defending state champs in both sports, then rebounded to drill non-conference foe Port Townsend headed into Homecoming.

That shindig was painful for the Wolf football squad, which was pounded for the first time this season.

With just three regular-season games left, the lopsided loss to Sultan also puts a big crimp in the pursuit of a playoff berth.

Meanwhile, off in its own world, the CHS tennis squad continued to surprise, toppling Bush, and solidifying its better-than-expected standing in the Emerald City League, AKA The Toughest Tennis Conference in the State.

Things get busy in the week ahead, with all four of the Coupeville teams which keep track of wins and losses (plus cross country, which bops to its own tune) facing a full schedule.

Volleyball and soccer square off with Sultan, which is mired in the North Sound Conference cellar in both sports, then go toe-to-toe with the more-dangerous Cedar Park Christian.

The spikers go right through next weekend, as well, heading off to Wenatchee for a big tourney.

Tennis gets three foes, weather permitting, and both of the league teams they’re scheduled to play — Bush and Bear Creek — are squads they’ve already beaten.

In the middle is a non-league match-up with long-time nemesis Friday Harbor.

But perhaps the single biggest game of the week comes next Friday, Oct. 12, when the CHS football team travels down Island to square off with South Whidbey.

The stakes are huge.

It’s Homecoming for the Falcons. The Bucket, which Coupeville has held for two years, is on the line. And, most importantly, if the Wolves want to have any realistic shot at making the playoffs, they need a win and they need it now.

So lace up your shoes, brace your very soul, and let’s get ready to rumble all next week.

How we doin’?!!

The battle for the top spot rages on.

The week ahead features at least one major showdown, and competition for all five of Coupeville High School’s fall sports teams.

Looming over everything is Tuesday’s volleyball match in Shoreline between the Wolves and King’s, which is a brawl for sole possession of first-place in the North Sound Conference.

Both squads are 3-0 in league play, with CHS having knocked off previously-undefeated South Whidbey last week in an epic five-set thriller.

Win or lose, the spikers will still have six league matches on the schedule after the King’s showdown, offering plenty of time for things to ebb and flow in the standings.

Volleyball has a second match this coming week, a non-conference home tilt against Port Townsend, while soccer, tennis and cross country all play twice as well.

Capping things off, Coupeville football has its Homecoming game Friday, Oct. 5.

Having narrowly lost to King’s in their conference opener, the Wolves will be looking to rebound and stay relevant in the playoff chase.

As we prepare to flip the calendar to Oct., a look at standings through Sept. 30:

They’re holding their own.

Coupeville High School boys tennis players were plunged into a world of intrigue, big bucks, and booming serves when they entered the Emerald City League this fall.

But so far, the scrappy small public school netters are standing up well against their ritzy private school foes, posting a 4-3 record at the halfway point of the conference season.

The latest conquest for the Wolves was Eastside Prep, which fell 5-0 Wednesday.

The private school only has two courts, which severely limited play.

With the match firmly in hand, the last Wolf to hit the court, #1 singles player Jakobi Baumann, only played a pro set so Coupeville could hit the road before night fell.

 

Complete Wednesday results:

 

Varsity:

1st Singles — Jakobi Baumann won 8-2

2nd Singles — Drake Borden won 6-2, 6-2

1st Doubles — Zach Ginnings/Jacob Burke won 6-0, 6-0

2nd Doubles — Mason Grove/James Wood won 6-0, 6-0

3rd Doubles — Tiger Johnson/Jaschon Baumann won 7-6(7-1), 6-1

Time to tango!!

Wolf volleyball ace Emma Mathusek scopes out the action. 

We’re headed into the heart of league play.

The week ahead offers Coupeville High School fall sports teams plenty of opportunity to make a statement in North Sound Conference action, with eight clashes spread among four teams.

The biggest, by far, is Tuesday’s volleyball showdown between the Wolves and South Whidbey in Langley, pitting the only two undefeated league foes, in any sport, in a head-to-head match-up.

Second-biggest?

Probably Friday’s home football game, when Coupeville opens league play against a more-battered-than-normal version of King’s.

But every game counts, and come Sept. 30, the league standings could look much different than they do on this Sunday.

 

Standings through Sept. 23:

 

North Sound Conference volleyball:

School League Overall
COUPEVILLE 1-0 3-0
King’s 1-0 3-1
South Whidbey 1-0 4-0

CPC-Bothell 0-0 2-1
Granite Falls 0-0 0-4
