The Grinch is back, but for a good cause.

The green furry one will be camped out at Polished Studio in Oak Harbor Saturday, Dec. 2, and you can get your photo snapped with him while donating to a good cause.

Tickets are $25 and include “light refreshments and a ton of Whoville fun!”

Proceeds benefit the Brandon Graham Foundation, which was started to promote mental health awareness and honor the memory of a beloved Coupeville High School grad.

Help Whidbey sluggers chase diamond dreams

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.

Action on the floor, action in the bleachers.

Coupeville High School volleyball squads crushed visiting Concrete Tuesday, sweeping both the JV and varsity matches.

While they did so, the fans, many of them decked out in pink to commemorate the battle against breast cancer, cheered, posed for pics, then posed for some more.

The click of the camera could be heard from one end of the gym to the other, with the photos seen above and below coming to us from John Fisken.

Wolf duffers reign supreme

Cow Town for the wet and wild win.

A Coupeville quartet stood tall at the annual Penn Cove Classic, combining to shoot 14 under par to top a field which pushed 60 duffers.

CHS grads Steven Dozier, Jared Murdy, and the magnificently bearded Matt Helm were joined by Wolf Dad Fred Farris on the victory stand.

The annual golf tourney, sponsored by Coupeville brothers Mitch and Marc Aparicio through their Penn Cove Brewing Co., raises money for scholarships and local non-profits.

While liquid sunshine plagued the event, it never put a damper on things.

“We had a blast yesterday, despite the rain,” the Aparicio brothers said.

“Thank you to all the hole sponsors, our customers who donated amazing raffle prizes and the volunteers who made this day happen!

“All the support of our small Whidbey business is greatly appreciated.”

Get out the golf clubs and tee off to help kids.

The Penn Cove Brewing Company, owned by Coupeville brothers Mitch and Marc Aparicio, is hosting its annual Penn Cove Classic next Saturday, Sept. 23.

The event is held at the Whidbey Golf Club in Oak Harbor and will include a putting contest, a complimentary box lunch for competitors, a shotgun start to the tourney, and a silent auction afterwards.

You still have time to register to play or become a sponsor if you get crackin’.

Money raised will go towards “scholarships for Whidbey Island schools and special needs around the community.”
