Central Whidbey softball sluggers (l to r) Madison McMillan, Allison Nastali, Chloe Marzocca, and Savina Wells celebrate another win.
Marzocca is a strikeout machine in the pitcher’s circle.
District championship in hand, it’s off to state. But first, confetti.
They are a hard-hittin’, slick-fieldin’, high-hard-cheddar-tossin’, league-title-winnin’ band of sluggers.
Thumping foes left and right, the Central Whidbey Little League Majors softball team has rolled to a 17-2 record, a District 11 title, and a berth at the state tourney.
Ranging in ages from 10-12, the 12 young women who make up the squad are both the present and the future of youth athletics in Coupeville.
And now we can help them achieve a piece of their dream.
The state tourney is held in Poulsbo from June 29 to July 7, and team moms have launched a GoFundMe to help raise money for food, travel, and lodgings.
All donations will be split evenly between the 12 families, with any extra going back to support Central Whidbey Little League.
If you’re wondering who you would be supporting, here’s an alphabetic look at the Hammerheads roster:
Brionna Blouin
Taylor Brotemarkle
Teagan Calkins
Mia Farris
Jada Heaton
Aleksia Jump
Katie Marti
Chloe Marzocca
Madison McMillan
Allison Nastali
Mayleen Weatherford
Savina Wells
Remember those names, because you’ll be seeing them many, many more times over the years.
So, whether you’ve got some loose change rattling around your couch cushions or some Bill Gates-style money just beggin’ to be used, consider helping a band of strong, smart, goal-orientated young women who are strong athletes, and better people.
It would be money well spent.
