We love it. We hate it. We sort of respect it.

With spring sports in full swing, the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association is back at it, issuing RPI rankings and hoping we’ll take them seriously.

At least this time, unlike during basketball season, there doesn’t appear to be any non-existent teams atop the 1B rankings. So, that’s a start.

And, of course, since we’re shameless hype hounds here at Coupeville Sports, if the WIAA plops a Wolf team somewhere in their top 10, we’re going to acknowledge it.

So, with that being said, the first RPI rankings of spring showcase the CHS softball sluggers at #10 among 2B schools.

Some semi-official respect.

The Wolf sluggers, who start three 8th graders and two freshmen, while having no seniors on the roster, are a sturdy 5-1 on the season.

Spring break has put a temporary hold on games, but Coupeville returns to action next week with four games — two at home and two on the road.

After that, a continued rise up the ol’ rankings chart should be in order.
