   After being honored as a third-baseman in 2016, sophomore Matt Hilborn was a First-Team pick as a second-baseman this season.

Hot on the heels of a second-place finish in the 1A Olympic League, Coupeville High School’s baseball squad landed four players on the All-Conference team.

Junior Hunter Smith (P) and sophomore Matt Hilborn (2B) were honored for the second straight year, while seniors Clay Reilly (OF) and Taylor Consford (C) were tabbed for the first time.

Those awards headlined Coupeville’s season-ending banquet Monday night.

Reilly was the night’s big winner, taking home MVP and Offensive Player of the Year, while also receiving his captain’s certificate and recognition for playing all four years.

Consford and Ethan Marx shared captain honors, while first-baseman Kory Score was tabbed Defensive Player of the Year.

Joey Lippo (The Dirt Bag Award) and Aiden Crimmins (The Aiden Award) rounded out the night’s winners.

Reilly, Score, Consford, Marx, Crimmins and Jonathan Thurston were honored as seniors.
