Hey, I’m not saying this is perfect.

But, six days after its May 15 meet against King’s and host Northshore Christian Academy, the Coupeville Middle School track team has posted at least SOME of its results online at athletic.net.

I kind of think the Wolf boys (as an entire team) and the girl throwers are getting shafted this time around, but I can only report what I can report, so here goes — the unofficial, official, probably half-right results:

100 (7th) — Kyla Briscoe 15.14; Allyson Wenzel 16.02; Abby Parker 16.20; Mckenzie Meyer 16.27; Ashley Smith 16.60; Hayley Dauphinais 17.94; Maggie Crimmins 18.09

100 (8th) — Lauren Grove 14.96; Valen Trujillo 14.97; Robin Cedillo 16.59

200 (7th) — Smith 35.68

400 (7th) — Sage Renninger 1:11.16

400 (8th) — Carlie Rosenkrance 1:09.00

75 hurdles (7th) — Jillian Pape 14.40; Briscoe 16.00; Lauren Bayne 16.88; Wenzel 16.91; Dauphinais 17.76

75 hurdles (8th) — Rosenkrance 13.90

4 x 100 (7th) — Bayne, Parker, Smith, Wenzel 1:05.03

You don’t mess with the Littlejohn girls.

Playing above their age limit again, the Coupeville duo of Mia and Kalia teamed up with an 8th grade hoops squad out of Oak Harbor to lay down the boom at a weekend basketball tournament in Burlington.

The scrappy pair, who play as if they stepped off a playground in Jersey (and that’s a good thing), helped Oak Harbor pound Burlington-Edison 40-28 and edge South Whidbey 29-26 at the 9th annual Tigers Classic.

Against Burlington, the Littlejohns helped spark a second-half comeback by causing a stream of turnovers. Then Mia put the knife in, big time.

“Both ladies provide tons of energy when they are on the court and wear down opposing guards,” said Scott Hay. “Kalia stepped in front of two passes against girls twice her size that slowed Burlington’s offense. Then big sister Mia dropped in a HUGE three-point bomb that just totally changed the game.”

The tourney-closing all-Island battle had the Littlejohns facing off with a familiar foe in 7th grader McKayla Hezel, a Langley phenom who played with a Coupeville team during the Tulip Festival in March.

South Whidbey used a barrage of treys to keep things close, but Oak Harbor put the game away with its pressure defense, keyed by the Littlejohns.

“Mia and Kalia helped turn the tide,” Hay said.

Have a little extra cash and looking for a way to help the youth of Coupeville?

Then take a moment and consider sponsoring the next generation of volleyball players, as they hone their skills in preparation for years of beatin’ the stuffin’ out of the starched shirts at Archbishop Thomas Murphy and King’s.

AAU Pack Attack Volleyball is aimed at girls in grades six through eight, with an eye on preparing players for high school play. The team, coached by Amy Briscoe, has 16 players.

It is currently looking for individuals or businesses who would be willing to help sponsor the team’s attendance at a summer volleyball camp put on by Western Washington University. Pack Attack would also like to be able to provide scholarships for players whose families can’t afford AAU fees.

If your wallet is hankering to help out, contact Briscoe at 929-7829. If you don’t get her, be sure to leave a message and she’ll return your call.

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.

Ally Roberts is branching out.

An accomplished show rider, the Coupeville Middle School student convinced her horse, Tiger, to try gaming at this past weekend’s 4H Spring Show at the Island County Fairgrounds.

Competing in barrel racing, pole bending and flag events, the duo sparkled, winning Reserve Champion for Gaming Showmanship.

That was on top of the windfall of ribbons she collected in Performance Showmanship, where she was a Grand Champion in Showmanship and Trail and nabbed bronze medals in English and Western Medal classes.

Coming at the same time big sis Madeline was thumping a two-run, over-the-fence home run in a district high school softball playoff game, the weekend belong to the Roberts’ girls.
