The goals keep coming, and so do the wins.

Unlike last season, in which a scoring freeze sent the Coupeville High School boys’ soccer team to an 0-11 start, this year the Wolves have scored in each of their first five games.

It happened again Friday night, as Abraham Leyva and Sean Donley punched in goals and CHS romped to a 2-1 win in overtime against visiting Sultan.

The victory improved the Wolves to 3-2 overall (tying their win total from a season ago, when they finished 3-14) and 2-2 in Cascade Conference play.

With three 1A schools fighting for two playoff berths, the win left Coupeville tied with King’s (3-3, 2-2) for the second slot. South Whidbey (5-1) is 3-1 in league play, but their only loss came at the hands of the Wolves.

Both goals Friday were set up by sophomore Zane Bundy, with Leyva’s score lifting the sophomore out of a tie with Bundy and back into the team scoring lead with four goals.

The game-winner in OT was the first time Donley, a senior captain, had found the back of the net this season.

Junior Joel Walstad got the win in goal, backed by a gritty defense anchored by senior Brett Arnold.

The Wolves have an interesting week ahead of them, traveling to first-place Archbishop Thomas Murphy (5-0, 4-0) Tuesday, then hosting last-place Granite Falls (0-5, 0-4) Friday.

Cameron Boyd gave his tooth for the cause, and his teammates responded.

Playing inspired defense, the Coupeville High School boys’ soccer squad pulled off a stunning 2-1 upset of visiting South Whidbey Friday night, knocking off a team that has openly talked of expecting to compete for a 1A state title.

According to a story in the South Whidbey Record, the Falcons end their practices with the chant “State on three: one-two-three, state!”

Friday that chant could have been replaced with “One-two-three, Wolves rule, Falcons drool!” or that old favorite, “What do Wolves eat? Falcon meat!!”

The best South Whidbey could do was to knock out one of Boyd’s front teeth in a late-game scrum. The Wolf senior took a knee to the face, but was still smiling as he and his teammates celebrated their huge victory.

After posing for pictures after the game, he had to go to the dentist. Boyd eventually had a new tooth put in, and temporary braces attached to a second tooth that was traumatized.

When they weren’t sacrificing their molars, the Wolves shattered the Falcons with a stellar defense anchored by senior defender Brett Arnold and junior goaltender Joel Walstad.

“We had an outstanding group effort, playing with intensity and tenacity,” said CHS coach Kyle Nelson. “Joel had an outstanding performance in goal, making some spectacular saves.”

CHS surrendered a goal early, then frustrated South Whidbey the remainder of the game.

Coupeville answered with goals of its own, one from senior Josiah Campbell and one from sophomore Zane Bundy, who found the back of the net for the third straight game this season.

Now 2-1 overall, 1-1 in Cascade Conference play, the Wolves will venture on the road for the first time this season Tuesday, when they travel to Lakewood.

It was a dark and stormy night and then a couple of soccer games broke out.

Tuesday night in Coupeville was your typical damp, dank early taste of spring, but that didn’t stop the Wolves from facing off with Cedarcrest in two brawl-until-the-buzzer battles.

Big Bundy goal, narrow loss for Wolves!!

Tuesdays are made for Zane Bundy.

The Coupeville High School sophomore and his Wolf boys’ soccer teammates have played twice this season — both time on Tuesdays — and both games have featured electrifying goals from Bundy.

This time around, he netted a score against 2A biggie Cedarcrest off of an assist from fellow sophomore Abraham Leyva. The duo are now tied for the early team lead with two goals apiece.

It wasn’t quite enough for a huge upset, however, as the visiting Red Wolves managed to scrape together a pair of late second-half goals and escape from The Rock with a 2-1 victory.

The loss dropped Coupeville to 1-1 overall, 0-1 in Cascade Conference play, heading into a big Island showdown against South Whidbey Friday.

That contest, the Wolves’ third straight home game, kicks off at Micky Clark Field at 6 PM.

Playing against Cedarcrest, the Wolves held on to a 1-0 lead past the 20th minute of the second half.

Josiah Campbell barely missed netting a second score for CHS. The persistent wind and a couple of questionable calls, including one on a Coupeville breakaway, hurt the Wolves.

Still, CHS coach Kyle Nelson came away pleased with much of what he saw.

“The boys played a great game,” Nelson said. “Could have come away with a win against a really good team.”

The Wolves lost two starters after the game, with a family move to Las Vegas taking away junior Oscar Liquidano and freshman Uriel Liquidano.

Leyva claims CHS pitch as his own!!

One game and the joint already belongs to him.

Making his regular season debut, Coupeville High School sophomore Abraham Leyva punched in a pair of goals Tuesday, sparking the Wolf boys’ soccer squad to a 3-0 non-conference victory over visiting Friday Harbor.

In a game in which Coupeville dominated both halves of the field from start to finish — leaving Wolf goalie Joel Walstad just a handful of save opportunities — it was the sophomores who made the difference.

Leyva officially opened the season’s scoring when he redirected a blocked shot on goal over the Friday Harbor netminder’s arm in the game’s 22nd minute.

Coming down the right side with a full head of steam, Wolf senior Sean Donley blasted a shot that hit the goalie’s hands hard enough that the ball ricocheted away. One bounce and the ball was on Leyva’s foot, then it was gone, arcing off of his toe and dropping neatly into the back of the net.

Despite having many more shots on goals, Coupeville went scoreless for the next 48 minutes, before finally putting the game on ice with two scores in the final ten minutes.

Sophomore Zane Bundy took off on a daring one-on-one run, pulled off a shake-and-bake move that left the Friday Harbor goalie on the ground, waving his arms above his head in frustration, then slapped the ball in for a score.

As the wind-chilled CHS fans rocked the bleachers — none louder than proud mom Janine Bundy — he did a little shimmy, before being mobbed by his teammates.

Leyva capped the scoring with a booming rocket from almost midfield during stoppage time.

Friday Harbor was unable to mount much of a charge offensively, with their coach loudly half-pleading at one moment, “We HAVE to get the ball off of our side of the field.”

A strong defense anchored by seniors Brett Arnold and Jared Dickson and junior Oscar Liquidano blunted virtually every chance the Wolverines put together.

Playing behind his solid line, Walstad had a handful of easy saves and one nice one where the basketball star went airborne and snagged the ball at the peak of his jump.

The victory came in new coach Kyle Nelson’s first official game. Coupeville played in a jamboree Saturday.
