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.

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.

Ready to zoom.

A patient eye at the plate.

Dropping the boom.

Alexis Trumbull wore a different uniform this weekend, but the hits kept coming.

Playing with her Skagit Valley College teammates at the Yakima Crossover Tournament, Trumbull wore a modified pink uniform to show support for the fight against breast cancer.

The new togs seemed to suit the Wolf grad fine, however, as she rapped out two hits against Walla Walla to top the Cardinal offense in that game.

She’s going to Minnesota.

Coupeville High School senior Amanda d’Almeida, a standout soccer and tennis player who has combined athletic success with academic excellence, has signed to play college ball at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota.

The Knights, who have repeat appearances in the NCAA tournament to their credit, are coached by Jocelyn Keller, who was a successful player at DePauw University.

d’Almeida received a $10,000 merit scholarship and “a very strong overall package,” said dad Dan d’Almeida.

Out of the numerous universities that recruited the standout scorer, she narrowed her final choices down to Carleton, Haverford, Whitman, CMS (Claremont-McKenna, Harvey Mudd, Scripps) and Willamette.

Pre-season camp begins August 17th for d’Almeida and her new teammates.

Her dad, who doubles as the girls’ soccer coach at CHS, hopes other Wolf athletes will take his daughter’s success as a reason to keep themselves equally dedicated, both on the playing field and in the classroom.

“I want to encourage athletes to be as great in the classroom as they are on the field or court in order to make affordable college possible,” he said. “Absolute dedication to a dream and hard work (off-Island year-round select soccer) pays off.

“Not always something that our kids want to hear, but often the ‘true’ story behind successful athletes.”
