Time to get your game face on.
With tournament trophies already in hand, the highly-skilled softball players from Central Whidbey Little League are now preparing for All-Star competition.
As they do so, ace clicker Patrick Kelley haunts the diamond in pursuit of photos of the future Wolf stars.

Be the next Brian Norris.
That’s the goal for this year’s Central Whidbey Little League All-Stars, as they follow in the proud tradition of the 2010 state champs headlined by Norris, Ben Etzell, Korbin Korzan and most of the current Coupeville High School baseball stars.
They may not win a title (but, hey, why not?), but they do get to play on, shagging fly balls and dreaming big.

The photos tell the story, so I’ll try and just get out of the way.
Provided by ace camera clicker Patrick Kelley, they document awards day for the Central Whidbey Little League Sunday.
The future of Coupeville High School’s baseball and softball programs, these are the players you’ll be reading about for years to come. Meet many of them for the first time today and then you can say you knew them back before they were stars.

I’m gonna say it. Does Brad Trumbull (far left) ever age? The man found the fountain of youth.
Carson Risner, in one of the missing scenes from “The Sandlot.”
Wiley Hesselgrave, either about to hit a home run or beat the crud out of that bug walking past home plate.
“Who’s getting pizza?!?! WE ARE!!!!!”
We’re going back to a time. A time long ago. A place called the mid-2000’s.
OK, not quite the awe-inspiring trip you might have expected.
Still, thanks to the wonders of photos found lost on a camera by ace photo whiz Shelli Trumbull, you do get to see current Coupeville High School baseball players back before they could even think about growing facial hair.
So, there’s that.

Murderers’ Row, featuring (l to r) Kyle Rockwell, Joey Lippo and Ty Eck.
Lauren Rose unleashes Hell.
Nick Etzell awaits the throw.
Katrina McGranahan fires in the pitch…
And is fast enough to get behind the plate before it arrives!
Lippo is impressed.
Rhododendron Park is a launching pad.
Whether it be baseball or softball sluggers, Central Whidbey’s rising stars are developing a love for the long ball.
Toss in a deep commitment to other, equally-important, if slightly less-exciting facets of the game such as defense and smartly calling a game from behind the plate, and you have the basis for long-term success.
On the scene to catch the moments in living color is ace photog Joe Lippo, who let us use these photos and will be writing some guest columns as the seasons play out.
