Seriously?!?!?

Will the Coupeville High School softball sluggers EVER get to play Cedarcrest this season? One wonders.

After three rain outs — including one in which the Wolves and their fans went all the way to Duvall before the game was called — Coupeville got turned back at the ferry Monday.

This time, the call was to inform CHS coaches David and Amy King that, if they showed up, there would be no umpires waiting for them because of a scheduling snafu.

The two teams were originally set to play March 21. When that was rained out (after a long drive to nowhere on a school bus), it was rescheduled as a doubleheader for April 10. That was rained out, then the same result the next day.

Try #5 will be this Friday, April 19. Though no one will likely believe it until it actually happens.

Though David King is willing to bend the rules a bit, to get the games in.

If the umps don’t show again, he joked, “Maybe we should just have a friendly game of whiffle ball with them.”
