Don’t worry, prairie skies will look just like this during the “spring” softball season as well… (David Svien photos)
I left Coupeville for two months-plus, and things changed.
Slightly, but in a very positive way.
After years of watching fouled-off missiles bounce off of homes in a nearby trailer park, hit the windshields of passing cars, or lure teenage girls into sprinting across the road in pursuit (often without looking for cars), Coupeville High School finally has a legit softball backstop.
Nothing is getting away from this netting. I said, nothing.
Plus, the scoreboard got moved into a more-prominent position, one in which it also will stop getting hit by wayward foul balls.
With softball arguably the most-successful sports program at CHS, the Wolf diamond queens deserved the upgrade, as did fans who have dodged incoming death from the sky for years.
Bout dang time.
