Where are my long pants? And my gloves?!?!?!
Tis spring in all its nippy glory. Not a drop of rain in the sky (as of 10:04 AM) and hopes fly high that the Coupeville High School softball squad will finally (FINALLY!!!) see game action this afternoon.
After having their first two games rained out, the Wolves have watched as baseball has played three games, girls’ tennis has completed two matches, golf ace Austin Fields has won two tourneys and both boys’ soccer and track have made their debuts.
And now, after a LONG week, McKayla Bailey, Madeline Roberts and Co. are primed to do battle with dastardly arch-rival South Whidbey, with the first pitch set for 4.
The game, the first of three against the Falcons, has special significance, since the two Whidbey schools are the only 1A teams that play softball in the Cascade Conference. King’s doesn’t field a baseball or softball team.
It will also mark the debut of new CHS co-coaches David and Amy King, who take over for the departed Jackie Calkins.
Plus, it’s South Whidbey, so, yes…
