Three hours to find two players.
For Central Whidbey Little League to have a juniors softball team this spring, at least two more girls will have to register by 7 PM Tuesday night.
Otherwise, CWLL officials have told parents they will not be able to field a team.
If that happens, the seven players currently registered will have the option of traveling to North or South Whidbey and playing on teams there, or not playing at all.
Registration was actually re-opened, for a few hours at least, after parents asked for a last-ditch chance to field a team of nine and keep their girls in Coupeville.
CWLL President Scott Johnson sent an email to parents today:
I have reopened online registration for the Juniors until 7:00 tonight – if you can get enough registered players, we can make it a go.
If not, we need to move forward. I hope you all understand.
Registration costs for juniors softball is $90. The season runs from April 1 to June 1.
Players have to be 14 or under as of Jan. 1 and must attend school or live in Coupeville.

P.S. — For more info, text Charlotte Young at 425-306-9439.
UPDATE — It appears they have two players, but the mom of one girl works until 9:30 PM Tuesday and parents are asking CWLL officials to allow the deadline to be slightly pushed back.
If you support this, you can contact the league at: centralwhidbeyllpresident@gmail.com.
UPDATE #2 — Word is they have 12 girls.
