“All your trophies are mine, mortals!!”
Six for six.
Coupeville High School’s lone golfer, junior Christine Fields, had to wait while baseball, softball, track, girls’ tennis and boys’ soccer all got a chance to play this spring.
Rain-outs washed away her first two scheduled matches, as she and South Whidbey, who she trains and travels with, never got to face Overlake and Bush.
Thursday, the rain finally parted for her, and guess what? Just like the other five CHS sports, she opened with a win in her first go-round.
Playing at the Battle Creek Golf Course, Fields carded a 26 over nine holes, using modified Stableford scoring, edging South Whidbey’s Rosie Portillo (25) to take the individual crown.
The Falcons, who also got a 21 from Tara Moore, thumped host Archbishop Thomas Murphy 81-41 to capture the team title.
Fields can’t win any team titles — since she doesn’t have four other teammates wearing the red and black who would help her pick up points.
But winning an individual title first time out bodes well as she attempts a run at qualifying for the state tourney for a third consecutive season.
She’ll next tee it up, weather permitting, Monday, March 31, when Cedarcrest comes to Whidbey and visits the Useless Bay Golf and Country Club.
