Spring creeps ever closer.

While snow and frost are making a comeback, the promise of baseball and softball season is on the horizon.

With that in mind, Central Whidbey Little League is making a push to get as many kids signed up as possible, while also remaining on the lookout for adults willing to volunteer as coaches and umpires.

You don’t need any prior experience, as the CWLL will provide training, which is described as “not too intensive.”

The final day of registration for players is Friday, Mar. 4.

To sign up your kids, pop over to:

If you have questions or are interested in coaching or making “safe” and “out” calls, you can contact the CWLL at centralwhidbeyll@gmail.com.

New day, new challenge.

Coupeville grad Chelsea Prescott will launch a new season of college sports in March, having made the softball roster at Medaille College in Buffalo, New York.

The former Coupeville High School Athlete of the Year, who is a freshman, played for the Mavericks volleyball program last fall.

Prescott started all 21 of Medaille’s volleyball matches, playing in all 70 sets.

She finished with 116 kills, 165 digs, 24 aces, 12 assists, three solo blocks, 11 block assists, and 148.5 points.

Now it’s back to the softball field to play a sport where she was a holy terror in high school.

A pitcher and shortstop for CHS, Prescott had a lethal bat, killer speed on the base paths, and a gun for an arm.

During her days playing for the Wolves, she helped lead the team to state as a sophomore, before capturing a 12-0 mark during a pandemic-altered senior season.

Prescott and Co. lost their junior campaign on the diamond when Washington state suspended spring sports during the early days of the pandemic.

At Medaille, the former Wolf is looking at a 40-game softball schedule with contests running between March 13 and April 30.

She’s back in business on the diamond.

Coupeville High School grad Sarah Wright got her junior season of college softball started in style this weekend, playing in four games for Sewanee: The University of the South.

The former Wolf and her Tigers teammates traveled from Tennessee to Georgia, where they faced off with Albany State University.

While Sewanee lost all four games, Wright piled up two hits — including a double — two runs, two RBI, and two stolen bases, while playing both catcher and third base.

The last two seasons have been shortened by the pandemic, but Sewanee has a full 38-game schedule set for 2022. Games run through mid-April.

Wright, who was a multi-sport star (volleyball, soccer, basketball, softball) and Valedictorian during her time in Coupeville, is majoring in politics.

Sewanee returns to action next weekend, Feb. 11-12, when it travels to Mississippi for the MUW Invitational.

Wright and Co. will play two games apiece against tourney host Mississippi University for Women and Covenant College.
