In the end, not even the combined forces of Whidbey could knock out the champs.
Sedro-Woolley capped an unbeaten run through the district playoffs Thursday, bouncing the Whidbey Island Junior (13/14) baseball squad out of the playoffs.
The 10-0 win, called after six innings thanks to the ten-run rule, sent Sedro on to the state tourney. Whidbey would have had to win back-to-back games Thursday and Friday to snatch away the district crown.
Three Coupeville Middle School students — Nick Etzell, Jake Hoagland and JoJo Welling — played for Whidbey, which had a roster that mixed players from North, Central and South Whidbey.
Welling was one of three hurlers to take the mound Thursday, teaming with Joseph Dixon and Cody Newman.
