The Vipers are ready to strike.
Now they just need a little help from their fan club.
A pack of hard-hitting, slick-fielding girls form the Whidbey Island Vipers, a 14U travel softball team gearing up to play near and far over the months to come.
The squad, which kicked things off with a season-opening tourney this past weekend, is in its first year.
Coached by Grant Van Dyke, with help from Mason Strevel and Whidbey softball guru Jim Wheat, the Vipers are comprised of 14 players.
Shea Allison reps Oak Harbor, while the South end has sent Sophie Zeigler, Jolene Coleman, Kennedy Strevel, and Lena Heggenes.
The Vipers rock Halloween costumes at their first early-season tourney.
The core of the team hails from Coupeville, with Haylee Armstrong, Chelsi Stevens, Emma Cushman, Sydney Van Dyke, Capri Anter, Abby Whitney, Ava Lucero, Cameron Van Dyke, and Adie Maynes calling Cow Town home.
Tournament play will take the Vipers off-Island on a regular basis, and the team is seeking a financial boost from local fans to help with expenses.
The Whidbey softball player you sponsor today may be the star of tomorrow.
