The list goes 67 names deep.

Coupeville High School will send the Class of 2025 out into the world Saturday, holding graduation at 1:00 PM at Mickey Clark Field.

Before the latest batch of Wolves get their diplomas, take a few moments to scan the list, which runs from Auen to Wyman.

He made his final moments count.

While Coupeville’s Landon Roberts is playing American Legion ball this summer, and hopes to continue his hardball adventures in college, Wednesday night put an official cap on his time as a high school baseball star.

The Wolf senior repped the red and black in the Northwest Senior Feeder Games in Anacortes, playing well on both sides of the ball.

The event, which featured a doubleheader at Alton R. Daniels Field, is one of the precursors to the All-State games in Yakima.

Roberts earned four innings of field time in each feeder game, patrolling right field in the opener and center field in the finale.

At the plate, the Wolf ace rapped a double off an Anacortes hurler.

In the field, he had plenty of time to enjoy the scenery, finally getting a ball sent his way at the very end.

Fielding it smoothly, Roberts pulled in the fly ball for the night’s final out, officially putting a stamp on his CHS diamond career.

The feeder games drew seniors from a wide range of schools in the region, with La Conner’s CJ Edwards being the only other player from the Northwest 2B/1B League.

South Whidbey (Sage Northup and Grady Davis) and Oak Harbor (Jayson Champignon and Brayden Rupp) also sent two players each to the hardball festivities.

Build the future, today!

Well, OK, things don’t actually get going until September, but you get the point.

Coupeville schools are putting a big push on robotics, with a two-pronged approach.

They want to expand their middle school team, which is open to students in grades 6-8, while also developing their first team at the high school (9-12) level.

The sounds of super-charged boats revving across Oak Harbor waters will not filter their way to my home on Penn Cove this summer.

The annual Hydros for Heroes event, set to go down August 16-17, will instead sit out the summer.

The cancellation of what was to be the 10th edition of the revved-up fundraiser was announced Tuesday.

“This difficult decision was made after careful consideration of some unexpected events beyond our control,” said officials on the Hydros for Heroes Facebook page.

“While we were looking forward to another memorable event, circumstances outside of our control have made it impossible to proceed at the level we feel this sport and community deserve.

“We understand how disappointing this is for our supporters, sponsors, vendors, the heroes and children we aim to honor and support and certainly do not take this decision lightly.”

The event, which promotes water-based sports and funds college scholarships for graduating seniors, while celebrating first responders, was launched by Oak Harbor realtors Craig McKenzie and Jim Woessner.

It put the spotlight on law enforcement, firefighters, EMS, military, healthcare professionals, and teachers — “heroes who make a huge impact in our community every day through their service and sacrifice.”

The two-day shindig has brought in 50 regional race teams and approximately 10,000 fans to Whidbey on a yearly basis.

While the Hydros for Heroes team has scrapped this year’s plans, they hope someone else will revive things down the road.

“It is our hope that we can find an organization, individual or group of individuals to take on this great event and continue to grow what we have worked very hard to build over the past nine years.

“It truly was an honor and privilege to be able to do so.

“Hopefully we are able to pass the torch to another willing and able victim/community supporter!”
