“Your salad is MINE, fool!!”

Posted in Softball, Wolves in college on May 14, 2013| Leave a Comment »

“Maybe, if I just breathe in really, really hard, really, really fast, that sweet, sweet salad will jump right out of the bowl!!”

Shelli Trumbull takes a lot of photos, but this one … this is priceless.

On the surface, it’s a bench shot from a Skagit Valley College softball game, with Trumbull’s daughter, Alexis (smiling, second from left), the former Wolf superstar, in on the action.

But thanks to some perfectly bad (or great) timing, my favorite part of the photo is on the right side, where it appears one of Trumbull’s teammates is trying to hoover the other one’s salad.

Even more so if you click on the picture and enlarge it. Go ahead. I’ll wait.

It doesn’t take much to amuse me, does it?

No. The answer to that is no, it does not.

Baseball carries Wilcox to the Sunshine State!!

Jordan Wilcox is going to the World Series.

The Coupeville High School grad is pounding the ball for a Western Washington University baseball squad that just claimed one of eight spots at the National Club Baseball World Series in Tampa May 24-30.

The Vikings are the Northern Pacific Regional champs and will face Illinois in the opening game of the double-elimination tourney. Western is seeded seventh, behind Texas A & M, Illinois, Iowa, Penn State, California and James Madison and ahead of Florida.

With Western offering a limited amount of “sanctioned” sports, students fill in the gaps by creating and running their own programs for sports not offered by the university.

Many of those club teams are among the most successful the school is affiliated with, from baseball to rugby and mens’ hockey, which has won multiple national titles.

Wilcox, who was a basketball and baseball star during his time in the red and black at CHS, has anchored the Vikings in the infield, while putting up nice numbers at the plate.

The most recent stats I can find show him smacking the ball to a .383 clip (18 for 47) at the plate through 15 games, with two home runs, 13 RBI, 10 runs scored and four stolen bases.

Alexis Trumbull, still reasonably awesome!!

Posted in Softball, Wolves in college on May 11, 2013| Leave a Comment »

Skagit Valley College got quite the deal when Alexis Trumbull decided to play softball for them.

Not only did they get a talented player, but when the Coupeville High School grad joined the squad they got a two-for-one special. Mom Shelli set up shop as SVC Softball Mom on Facebook and gave the team its own unofficial team photographer.

Having gone through the 500 or so photos she just uploaded from the Cardinal’s most recent games (I kid you not), I can tell you there are a ton of great ones on there.

But, you’ll have to go see for yourself, as this is Coupeville Sports, and not SVC Sports, so the ones I plucked out all feature the young Ms. Trumbull.

Cause Alexis is the pride of Coupeville, and, if the other young women who play for SVC (some pretty talented athletes) wanted to be seen on a regular basis on this here blog, they should have had the foresight to graduate from our high school.

So now they know, and can go start work on that time machine.

Ms. Trumbull goes to Canada!!

Alexis Trumbull (8) and teammates sport the red, white and blue.

Two nations, one entrance.

So don’t even think about it, you hosers, eh.

Playing college ball is taking Alexis Trumbull to new and exciting places.

The latest — Surrey, British Columbia, as the CHS grad and her Skagit Valley College softball teammates went across the border for a weekend of diamond action.

Along for the trip, intrepid team mom/photographer Shelli Trumbull and her camera, who I have decided to call Sir Reginald of Chutney.

Why? Why not.

Tyler King picks his moments.

With his University of Washington track team facing off with arch-rival Washington State University Saturday for the 97th time in their storied history, the Huskies needed one more point to claim a victory on the mens’ side of the battle.

Up stepped King, the former Coupeville High School star, and he delivered more than one point, zooming to a second-place finish in the 3000 meter race.

He clocked in at a brisk eight minutes, 15.97 seconds on the school’s brand-new purple track, which was making its debut, and sealed the deal for the UW.

The two schools first faced off in 1901, but this year’s battle will go down as the Year of the King.
