They’re back.
Less than a week after saying it wouldn’t participate in sports until students were back in class, Orcas Island High School has returned to the playing field.
Coupeville athletic Director Willie Smith confirmed Tuesday that the Vikings had “approval to begin athletics.”
That means Wolf softball and baseball regain four games on their combined schedules.
The CHS diamond queens get back a home game March 13 and a road doubleheader March 23, while the diamond men pick up a single road game March 23.
Coupeville softball now sits with a 14-game schedule, the maximum it can have under Washington Interscholastic Activities Association rules during this shortened pandemic season, while Wolf baseball has 11 contests.
Both teams open play this Saturday, March 6 with home games against Friday Harbor.
Baseball plays at 11 AM, with softball hosting a doubleheader with games at 11 and 1 PM.
