One school brave enough to bust the schedule.

With spring break in full bloom this past week, every 1A Olympic League school not wearing Coupeville uniforms sat idle, in every sport.

The Wolves, though, were busy, getting in non-conference tilts in softball, baseball and soccer across three of the six days.

Things get back to mostly normal as we move into a new week, as all the lazy bones schools rejoin CHS on the field.

As they get back at it, Coupeville is holding on to the lead in varsity wins for both spring and for the 2017-2018 school year.

With victories in all three sports which have played a league game, the Wolves are up 6-4 on Klahowya this spring and 37-32 for the year.

Port Townsend (22) and Chimacum (10) each have a single win this spring.

Current standings through Apr. 8:

Olympic League baseball:

School League Overall
COUPEVILLE 2-0 7-3
Chimacum 1-0 2-5
Klahowya 1-2 2-7
Port Townsend 0-2 0-5

Doubles duos spark huge win!!

It was a day for surprises.

After non-stop rain soaked the prairie the last couple of days, Tuesday didn’t see a single drop, allowing the Coupeville High School girls tennis team a somewhat unexpected chance to play.

Then, once they took the court, the Wolf netters swept all four doubles matches, winning the final one in a third-set tiebreaker, to stun previously undefeated Granite Falls 4-3.

The non-conference victory, coming against a 2A school, lifts Coupeville to 1-4 on the season.

Their record doesn’t tell the whole tale for the Wolves, as a team repping one of the smallest 1A student bodies in the state has played 80% of it matches so far against 2A schools.

Learning under fire against schools with deep rosters is teaching the CHS netters to persevere, and it paid off handsomely against Granite.

Coupeville’s top two doubles duos swept to quick victories, its #3 unit pulled out a somewhat-tougher battle, and then the #4 tandem won the day.

With the match tied at 3-3, Zara Bradley and Jillian Mayne split the opening two sets of their match with their Tiger foes, then found some magic buried deep within.

The deciding third-set tiebreaker was over quickly, as the Wolf duo scorched Granite Falls 10-1.

With the win, Coupeville heads into its longest break of the season.

The Wolves aren’t scheduled to play again until Apr. 9, when they host another 2A school, North Kitsap.

That kicks off (weather permitting) an epic run of seven matches in nine days, including Coupeville’s first three Olympic League matches (two against Klahowya, one against Chimacum).

Complete Tuesday results:

Varsity:

1st Singles — Claire Mietus lost to Rosie Bradwisch 6-0, 6-1

2nd Singles — Genna Wright lost to Taylor Middleton 6-1, 6-2

3rd Singles — Heather Nastali lost to Brooklyn Lee 7-5, 6-2

1st Doubles — Payton Aparicio/Sage Renninger beat Hanah White/Sadie Hutchinson 6-1, 6-1

2nd Doubles — Avalon Renninger/Tia Wurzrainer beat Hanna Rossnagle/Miranda Russo 6-0, 6-2

3rd Doubles — Kameryn St Onge/Maggie Crimmins beat Jenasea Hott/Hannah Vadom 6-3, 6-4

4th Doubles — Jillian Mayne/Zara Bradley beat Emily Lundberg/Mackenzy Petit 6-3, 2-6, 10-1

JV:

5th Doubles — Nanci Melendrez/Megan Behan won 8-6

6th Doubles — Jaimee Masters/Emily Fiedler won 6-4

7th doubles — Elaira Nicolle/Claire Mietus lost 6-1

They’re punching above their weight class.

Coupeville High School, which sits on the lowest rung of 1A, has played 10 of 18 games this spring against 2A schools.

That, naturally, has skewed the win-loss record a bit, as the Wolves are 4-4 against schools in their own (sorta) weight class, and 3-6-1 when playing teams from a higher berth.

The scheduling disparity will shift (a bit) this coming week, with six of the nine scheduled games against 1A competition, including five happening inside the Olympic League.

Wolf baseball and boys soccer have two conference games apiece, but the biggest thing on the schedule is softball’s visit Wednesday to Klahowya.

With Port Townsend and Chimacum having bailed on softball this season, dropping their teams for a year due to a lack of players, the Olympic League race for supremacy is just a two-team battle.

That means each of the three games the Coupeville diamond women play against Klahowya (Mar. 28, Apr. 20 and Apr. 30) take on a much-bigger emphasis than normal.

The path to hanging a league banner is simple — beat KSS and cue the celebration.

Current standings through Mar. 25:

Olympic League baseball:

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

Olympic League boys soccer:

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

Olympic League girls tennis:

School League Overall
COUPEVILLE 0-0 0-4
Chimacum 0-0 1-3
Klahowya 0-0 0-3

And we’re off.

The first days of spring sports played out this past week, at least when the rain drops weren’t putting a damper on things.

Three of the four spring Coupeville High School varsity teams to keep track of a win-loss record are sitting with winning records as you read this, which is always a nice start.

Very few Olympic League contests have been played so far, with one of the big rain-outs preempting Coupeville and Chimacum from meeting on the baseball diamond.

But, the few that have made it into the books have gone exactly the way expected, with Coupeville and Klahowya coming out on top.

The two schools have fought for the varsity wins crown the past four years, with the Eagles coming out on top in years #1 and #2 and the Wolves claiming top dog status in year #3.

This year, in the final go-round for the four-team league (Coupeville is hopping conferences in the fall), CHS is out in front once again.

The Wolves exited winter with a 31-28 lead, based on girls soccer, football, volleyball, boys tennis and girls and boys basketball.

With a pair of early wins over Port Townsend in baseball and soccer, Klahowya has narrowed the gap to 32-30, ensuring what should be a fairly thrilling stretch run.

The week ahead, while chock full of games, won’t have much of an impact on the wins race.

Most of Coupeville’s games between Mar. 19-24 are non-conference tilts, though the two which are Olympic League clashes are both head-to-head with Klahowya.

The two teams are scheduled to meet on the tennis court Mar. 22 and the soccer pitch Mar. 24, with both contests on Whidbey.

Standings through Mar. 18:

Olympic League baseball:

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

Olympic League boys soccer:

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

Olympic League girls tennis:

School League Overall
COUPEVILLE 0-0 0-3
Chimacum 0-0 0-1
Klahowya 0-0 0-2

One to learn from!!

Some days are about winning and losing, and some days are about learning.

Thursday afternoon the Coupeville High School girls tennis team got to experience the latter, as the Wolves ran into a buzz-saw in 2A Sequim.

“They’re good. No, I mean … they’re GOOD,” said a philosophical CHS coach Ken Stange as he ambled past, watching the action unfold through the chain-link fence.

The visitors, who are coached by Mark Textor, brother of Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Famer Phyllis Textor, cruised to a 7-0 win.

The non-conference loss drops the Wolves to 0-2, but they get an immediate chance to bounce back, as CHS travels to Langley Friday to face arch-rival South Whidbey.

Coupeville’s closest match against Sequim came at #2 doubles, where sophomores Avalon Renninger and Tia Wurzrainer fought through three tension-soaked sets before falling.

Complete Thursday results:

Varsity:

1st Singles — Claire Mietus lost to Isabelle Hugonoit 6-0, 6-0

2nd Singles — Genna Wright lost to Olivia Preston 6-0, 6-2

3rd Singles — Heather Nastali lost to Emily Bundy 6-2, 6-0

1st Doubles — Payton Aparicio/Sage Renninger lost to Jessica Dietzman/Kali Wiker 6-2, 7-6(7-5)

2nd Doubles — Avalon Renninger/Tia Wurzrainer lost to Mckenna Hastings/Ashley Rosoles 4-6, 6-1, 7-5

3rd Doubles — Kameryn St Onge/Maggie Crimmins lost to Arlene Law/Amanda He 6-2, 6-3

4th Doubles — Jillian Mayne/Zara Bradley lost to Eden Johnson/Amanda Dietzman 6-0, 6-4

JV:

5th Doubles — Nanci Melendrez/Megan Behan lost 6-0

6th Doubles — Jaimee Masters/Emily Fiedler lost 6-1

7th Doubles — Elaira Nicolle/Nastali lost 6-2
