She’s entered a whole new world.
Coupeville grad Sarah Wright became the latest in a string of Wolves to take their game to the next level when she made her collegiate softball debut this weekend.
Wright, now a freshman at Sewanee: the University of the South, played four games in two days in two states, as the Tigers softball team kicked off their 40-game season with back-to-back doubleheaders.
While Sewanee came out on the short end of the score, being swept 8-0 and 10-0 by Judson (Ala), and 3-0 and 6-3 by Fort Valley State (GA), Coupeville’s progeny was a bright spot.
Wright collected two hits, a walk, and her team’s only RBI, which came on a bases-loaded free pass.
While the season is just 10% played, the former Wolf star is tied for the team lead in OBP (on base percentage) and hits.
Sewanee returns to action next weekend, when it hits the road again, playing a doubleheader February 15 against Johnson (TN).
The Tigers play their first 15 games away from their home field in Tennessee, not making their home debut until Mar. 7.
Wright’s season stretches from Feb. to late April.
During her time at CHS, the ever-ebullient one was a four-year star for the softball team, helping carry the Wolves to the state tourney during her senior season, where they beat Dear Park and came within a play of upending Cle Elum.
Wright also had strong stints as a basketball, volleyball, and soccer player, was the class valedictorian, and may have threatened to eat a worm of two to amuse her softball teammates.
