The season never ends.
High school ball has come to a close, but at least five Coupeville High School athletes are still at it, playing select ball on traveling teams.
Wolf sophomore Joey Lippo is putting in time with the Seattle Bombers U15 baseball squad, which is 6-7 on the season.
Lippo, who missed the first six select games while CHS was finishing its playoff run, is hitting .200 with two RBI, three stolen bases (in three attempts), three walks and two runs.
Meanwhile, four of his softball-playing classmates are starring for the Northwest Storm, a U16 squad coached by CHS head man Kevin McGranahan.
It’s the final days at the helm of the Storm for the softball guru, who has to give up the job after this season runs out.
The Storm are playing strongly for McGranahan, having grabbed 2nd at the JBLM Wounded Warrior Tourney over the weekend.
The squad, which includes Wolves Jae LeVine, Sarah Wright, Katrina McGranahan and Lauren Rose, won four of seven games, falling by a single run in the championship game.
Northwest split with the GH Lady Bearcats (winning 8-2 and falling 14-13), and beat Fury 16 Red (12-6) and Tri-City Thunder (2-0) before bopping the Hoquiam VFW Bombers (11-1) in the semifinals.
They lost 9-2 to Seattle Spice in pool play and were nipped 3-2 in the finale by tourney champ Power House.
