Taygin Jump

Let the implements fly.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump competed on the big stage Friday and Saturday in Brockport, New York, vying at the SUNYAC Indoor Track and Field Championships.

The event brought together the best athletes from the State University of New York Athletic Conference, with Jump repping Plattsburgh State.

Now a sophomore with the Cardinals, the former Wolf ace earned entries in both the weight throw and shotput.

Jump finished 15th in the latter and 16th in the former, with throws of 31 feet, eight inches, and 38-02.25.

The oldest of Phil and Christina’s three children is pursuing a degree in Environmental Planning & Management/Geology when she’s not busy with her track and field exploits.

Don’t miss your chance.

Do your kids want to play baseball or softball this spring?

Registration for Central Whidbey Little League closes at 11:59 PM tonight, Friday, Feb. 28, with a skills assessment day set for Saturday, Mar. 1.

Side note — see my favorite film from the last year. It’s available on Kanopy, the free streaming site offered by your local library!

This is probably the spot where I should put on a suit and slick my hair back, televangelist-style.

Looks in closet … no suits, lots of shorts.

Looks in mirror … no hair, or at least not enough to get that lush Jim Bakker or Kenneth Copeland ‘do going.

See, a receding hairline is why I don’t have that indoor/outdoor swimming pool, with mansion attached, yet.

Anyways.

I won’t take much of your time. Or offer any miracles, ala the fancy-haired dudes rambling on your Grandma’s TV at 3 AM in the morning.

The facts are these:

Spring sports for Coupeville High School teams start Monday, with the first practices for softball, girls’ tennis, track and field, and baseball.

Games begin about two weeks later.

This blog writer has been there, freezing his tush off on the prairie in “spring” weather since 2012.

Varsity, JV, C-Team, middle school, little league, community sports, I cover it all and you can read about it all for free.

We’re pushing 12,000 articles about the sporting life in Cow Town.

But if I’m going to make it through another season and make a run at a 13-year anniversary this August, I need your support.

WordPress wants its annual $107 in mid-March, and I don’t have it.

I also don’t have the money to get the oil change on the car I’ve been borrowing since my own Xterra melted down and joined all the other vehicles I’ve sent to the great auto wrecking lot in the sky.

And I’m fairly certain the landlord’s cats are eyeballing me.

“You’d better not mess with our ability to get wet food, slick!”

So, here we are again.

If you’d like to see the blog make it through another spring, I’m asking for your support. Whether it’s $5 or a new indoor/outdoor swimming pool, everything helps.

If not, I understand.

There will be a time at some point where I will have to hang up the keyboard and go back to a job that likely requires wearing pants. That’s life.

I leave the decision in your hands.

The games are over, but the photos go on forever.

Pics continue to trickle in long after the final buzzer went off for the Coupeville High School hoops teams.

It’s a collection of random photos.

With high school basketball having reached the finish line in Coupeville, we’re cleaning out the leftover pics, so here you go.
