The Coupeville High School tennis team played Chimacum in back-to-back matches, and both were wins for the Wolves.

The latest victory was 7-0 in Coupeville Friday, Oct. 10.

The Cowboys (1-7) brought only eight players and defaulted in third and fourth doubles. Those matches, however, were contested as exhibitions as some Chimacum players played twice to allow all the Wolves to compete.

“Even though the match was seemingly in hand before it even started, I was thoroughly impressed with our doubles teams,” Coupeville coach Ken Stange said. “After missing the last couple of matches, Loren (Nelson) was able to team up with Connor (McCromick) to grab the win at No. 1 doubles. John (McClarin) and Joseph (Wedekind) also snagged their first win of the year at No. 2 doubles.”

In singles action, Aaron Curtin “used his usual power and spin” to get a win in the first slot, according to Stange.

Sebastian Davis, playing in second singles, “struggled mightily in the first set,” Stange said. “He was able to settle down in the second and third sets, knocking his opponent down with ease.”

“All in all, it was a great day,” Stange said.

Coupeville (3-4) will take its three-matching winning streak to Klahowya at 4 p.m. Monday, Oct. 13. Klahowya (7-4) defeated the Wolves 5-2 Sept. 18.
