There comes a time when you have to play for something more than just yourself.
There comes a moment when you have to play for me.
Today is that day for the Coupeville High School baseball team.
Thanks to one of those insane quirks of the schedule, four different Wolf teams — baseball, softball, girls’ tennis and boys’ soccer — all play at home today, all virtually at the same time.
Which is just super-less-than-dandy for parents like Donna Bailey, who have daughters who play different sports.
Softball with McKayla? Tennis with McKenzie? Run back and forth down the street?
For me, I choose one and stay there. And today it’s baseball which gets my attention (Korbin Korzan has baseball fundraiser candy for me), as they play the final game in a three-game series with Archbishop Thomas Murphy.
Unbeaten in league, defending 2A state champs ATM.
A team which must lose to preserve my streak.
For, you see, I am 6-0 this year with Wolf baseball and softball. Neither team has failed me yet, whether it be spectacular comebacks in the rain or offensive explosions where the balls are bangin’ off the outfield fence.
Now, beating ATM would be huge. Bigger than the mammoth win over Cedarcrest last week, when that team was unbeaten in Cascade Conference play.
But, the fact they did it once, proves they can do it again.
The opponent doesn’t matter. Wolf Nation can rise to the top at any time.
And now is that moment.
If not for yourselves, than for me.
