Wolf ace swings away with Sox

No rest for the talented.

With the high school baseball season done, Coupeville High School senior Landon Roberts is staying busy on the diamond.

He made his debut with the Skagit Sox American Legion team Thursday, helping his new squad blank the Cascade Baseball Club 4-0 in the Cardinal Classic hosted by Skagit Valley College.

Back at home in Cow Town, mom Sherry Bonacci was manning her computer at the Coupeville School Board meeting where Landon was honored for being a Lion’s Club Student of the Quarter.

The lanky one was not there in person, however, as diamond duty was calling his name.

Roberts ripped a single in his first at-bat, then advanced a runner from second to third with a squibber to shortstop his next time up.

In the field, the Wolf ace, who graduates with the Class of 2025 in a few days, patrolled the outfield and came up with a gem.

Snagging a fly ball near the line, Roberts whipped a frozen rope to second to nail the brave, yet foolhardy runner, who wasn’t quite as fast as he thought he was.

They represented.

Coupeville High School landed three All-Conference honorees when Northwest 2B/1B League baseball coaches tabbed the best players of the spring.

Wolf senior Landon Roberts and junior Camden Glover were picked as First-Team All-League selections, with junior Coop Cooper earning Second-Team status.

The veteran trio were leaders on a very-young CHS hardball squad which went 6-13 overall, 5-7 in league play.

All three pitched for the Wolves, while also manning other positions when they weren’t on the mound.

Roberts and Glover both did stints at catcher for a program which only had 11 players this season, as well as playing in the infield.

When Cooper wasn’t chucking strikes, he was also an active infielder, with all three standing tall at the plate, providing an offensive spark for Steve Hilborn’s squad.

Glover led CHS with a .380 batting average, 18 RBI, and six doubles, while Roberts hit .356 with a team-high 21 base hits.

On the mound, Glover (66), Cooper (61), and Roberts (54) paced the Wolves in strikeouts, with Cooper leading the team in starts.

Camden Glover (17) and Coop Cooper helped anchor a CHS baseball team which was short on players this season.

Landon Roberts exited with a bang.

The Coupeville High School senior collected three of his team’s seven awards Wednesday when Wolf baseball capped its season with a banquet.

Roberts was tabbed as the Defensive Player of the Year and the Swiss Army Knife Award winner, while also being honored for playing hardball all four years of his high school run.

Joining him as award winners were Camden Glover (Offensive Player of the Year), Aiden O’Neill (Wolf Pack Leader), Riley Lawless (Most Improved) and Leo Rodriguez (Future Prospect).

It’s all gravy from here on out.

Regular season play is over for spring sports teams, with those squads left standing busy with postseason work now.

For Coupeville, three of four teams are still alive.

While baseball failed to make the playoffs, both Wolf softball and girls’ tennis are off to their district tourneys Thursday, May 15, to play for berths at the state championships.

The sluggers go to Mount Vernon, while the netters travel to Seattle for those events.

Two days after that, the CHS track team hosts the district meet, the last stop before its own hoped-for trip to state.

With everyone knee-deep in the playoffs, this also marks our final league standings story for the 2024-2025 school year.

The dynamic duo called it a career.
