Coupeville Sports

At this rate, no one is going to play … ever.

Rain, rain and more rain continues to plague Coupeville High School sports teams, who have now seen events cancelled for the third consecutive day.

Lost Thursday were baseball and softball games in Lakewood, which land on a pile of tennis matches that have not been played.

Making matters worse, both squads actually got on the bus and part-way to Lakewood before having their games cancelled.

“Beautiful trip past the Swinomish Bridge. Didn’t even get far enough to get a 5 Guys burger out of the deal!,” said Wolf baseball coach Willie Smith.

It was the second time both diamond squads were rained out, and the repercussions will linger.

Originally scheduled to host Lakewood Friday in their home opener, the baseball squad will instead try (for the third time) to go to Lakewood. If they get there, and the weather holds, they’ll play a doubleheader.

The softball sluggers were originally supposed to be in Bellingham today to meet Meridian in a non-league affair, but that got bumped for a second, equally unsuccessful, attempt to travel to Lakewood.

The Wolf girls’ tennis team has had a road match at Friday Harbor and a home match against Archbishop Thomas Murphy washed away.

At this point, the only Coupeville teams to actually take the field have been the boys’ soccer team, which played in a giant mud puddle at Friday Harbor and the track team, which is competing in Oak Harbor today.
