It’s the boys of summers past

It’s a lil’ slice of the “good ol’ days.”

The photos above and below, which come from a series of pics being digitized by Sarah (Powell) Lyngra, capture Coupeville’s hardball giants of 1977.

They were shot by her parents, David and Beatrice Powell.

And, thanks to former Wolf great David Ford, we can ID 10 of 12 players and half the coaching staff!

While the guy with the beard in photo one is one of our mysteries, the man in the cowboy hat is Bill Losey.

Back row (l to r):

Mystery Boy #1, Craig Anderson, Byron Fellstrom, Charlie Tessaro, Mark Smith, and Greg Fellstrom.

Front row:

Davin Bailey, Mystery Boy #2, John Beasley, Scott Losey, Rusty Bailey, and Caleb Powell.

Like a movie still from the “Bad News Bears.”

Big support, big success

It takes a village to raise ball players.

With a lot of help from the community, Central Whidbey Little League roared back to life this spring, jumping from 81 participants back up to 118.

That reflects baseball and softball players ranging in age from 4-12 and shows a marked improvement as the world continues to come out of a pandemic.

CWLL President Gordon McMillan offered big thanks to the Island County Parks and Rec Department, which handles maintenance and grooming of Coupeville’s Rhododendron Park.

“We call Rhododendron our ‘field of dreams’,” he said.

McMillan also thanked the league’s many volunteers and paid tribute to local businesses which “so generously contributed to our just concluded and very successful 2022 season.”
