Two months from now, they’ll be getting ready to play games again.

School doesn’t start until Aug. 31, and Coupeville Middle School doesn’t kick off its football and volleyball seasons until late Sept., but it’s never too early to run schedules.

I mean, what else are we going to do with our time here in mid-July?

So, here you go, something to look forward to, then.

And, an interesting side note — any affiliation with the 1A/2A Cascade Conference is truly gone.

Last year, CHS moved into the 1A Olympic League, but CMS continued to play games against schools such as King’s and Langley.

No more, as this year’s schedules are awash in Port Townsend and Chimacum, with Forks, Sequim and a newcomer, Stevens (from Port Angeles) tossed into the mix.

New year, new rivalries.

CMS fall sports schedules, as they sit on July 19:

FOOTBALL:

Wed-Sept. 23 Stevens
Wed-Sept. 30 Port Townsend
Wed-Oct. 7 @ Chimacum
Wed-Oct. 14 Sequim
Wed-Oct. 21 @ Forks
Wed-Oct. 28 @ Port Townsend

VOLLEYBALL:

Mon-Sept. 21 Chimacum
Thur-Sept. 24 @ Stevens
Mon-Sept. 28 Forks
Thur-Oct. 1 Sequim
Mon-Oct. 5 @ Port Townsend
Thur-Oct. 8 @ Chimacum
Mon-Oct. 12 Stevens
Thur-Oct. 15 @ Forks
Mon-Oct. 19 @ Sequim
Thur-Oct. 22 Port Townsend

Learn to love the road.

Looking ahead at fall sports schedules for Coupeville High School (hey, the first day of practice is Aug. 19, just a month away), that’s the theme.

Unless things change (always possible), three of the four Wolf teams (football, volleyball, girls’ soccer) will play more games on the road than at home.

The only team that currently has more home matches than road trips is the CHS boys’ tennis squad, and that’s deceptive, because that’s also the only team that obviously doesn’t have a finished schedule.

Little quirks to look forward to:

Wolf volleyball will be the first team to play in front of fans sitting on the newly-installed bleachers in the CHS gym, when it hosts South Whidbey Sept. 8.

By the time football plays at home, we’ll be firmly into the cold season, as the Wolf gridiron squad plays its first FOUR games away from Coupeville.

Schedules as they stand on July 18 (* = league game, and there is no way the tennis schedule is complete, so there’s that):

Valen Trujillo and her achy-breaky knees are ready to go home and get some rest.

The Wolves are on the hunt in Bellingham.

A team volleyball camp at Western Washington University drew a pack of CHS players, and several moms showed up to snap photos of their daughters at play.

With apologies to anyone who might have wandered off and not shown up in the team photo, at least 12 Wolves made the trek.

Incoming freshmen Emma Smith, Maddy Hilkey, Ashley Menges and Sarah Wright joined returning players Katrina McGranahan, Kenzi LaRue, Valen Trujillo, Kyla Briscoe, Allison Wenzel, McKenzie Bailey, Maggie Crimmins and Tiffany Briscoe.

First rule of CHS volleyball: never miss a chance to strike a pose.

Tis the season for camping.

The latest to embark on a summer odyssey in pursuit of fine-tuning their skills?

Members of the CHS volleyball squad, who took part in a recent camp run by Western Washington University coaches and players and held at Oak Harbor High School.

Valen Trujillo, Lauren Rose, Maddy Hilkey, Emma Smith and Kayla Rose were joined on the adventure by middle school spikers Zoe Trujillo, Scout Smith, Hannah Davidson and Natalie Hollrigel.

Stage or court, Melia Welling shines!!

Melia Welling (John Fisken photo)

Melia Welling is busy these days.

The younger sister of Wolf football/baseball star Julian Welling, she’s spending the summer before 8th grade bouncing back and forth between sports and the arts.

She recently took part in a volleyball camp held at Coupeville High School, and is currently involved in a production of The Pirates of Penzance at the Whidbey Playhouse.

A pianist who also enjoys singing (and her English classes), Welling wants to play softball in high school and has participated in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program.

That program gave her a chance to work with recent CHS grad Lyndsi Applegarth, who was her “big” the past two years.

When fall rolls around Welling will be hard at work on the volleyball court, refining her skill set in a sport she’s still fairly new to.

“I started playing volleyball last year, just to try something new,” she said.

Her main goal is to make the varsity team, and she enjoys serving and being part of a team.

“I’d like to work on passing and getting to the ball faster,” Welling said. “But I’m pretty good at serving.”

Whether on the stage or the volleyball court, Welling looks to her mom for support and guidance.

When asked who had the biggest influence on her life, the young spiker didn’t even need to answer, as her mom jumped on the question quickly.

“Her Mom!!! Go me!,” Michion Welling said with a laugh.

Strong mom, strong daughter. A perfect recipe for success.
