You dare to run on Taylor Brotemarkle? Foolish one!! (Jackie Saia photo)

They put up some impressive numbers.

Over the course of 18 regular-season games, Coupeville High School softball players delivered at the plate and from the pitcher’s circle.

While the season is done, the numbers are forever.

A look at CHS softball stats, delivered to us by Wolf coach Kevin McGranahan:

It wasn’t the best spring, weather-wise, that we’ve seen on the prairie.

But through the wind, and rain, and more wind and rain, the Coupeville High School softball squad put together a very successful spring.

Along for the ride was Wolf Mom (and CHS Yearbook editor) Jackie Saia, who delivers the pics seen above and below.

They’re winners, no matter the weather.

For 34 years, no one has come close to Jennie (Cross) Prince.

Then along came Reese.

Putting together the best afternoon of her track and field career on the final day of her high school athletic career, Coupeville senior Reese Wilkinson made history Saturday at the 2B state championship meet in Yakima.

Chucking the discus 121 feet, 10 inches, she broke her own PR by almost 10 and a half feet and took down the school mark of 120-03 set back in 1990.

While Prince still holds the CHS girls’ record in the shot put — under her maiden name — she was thrilled to see one of her marks finally toppled by the young women who have followed in her footsteps.

“Awesome!!! Congratulations to Reese!!!!” she said.

Wilkinson, like the woman she will replace on the school’s track record board, finished 2nd at state, one of three medals claimed by Coupeville athletes on the final day of the three-day extravaganza.

Sophomore Carly Burt sailed to a 5th place finish in the pole vault, while senior Nick Guay notched another 5th, this one in the high jump.

The trio join freshmen Axel Marshall and junior Cael Wilson, who finished 5th and 8th, respectively, in the pole vault Friday.

Burt and Wilson have two state meet medals to their credit now, with more time to add to that total.

Among active Wolves, they trail only current junior Lyla Stuurmans, who has three to her credit.

Marshall, Guay, and Wilkinson became the 88th, 89th, and 90th Wolves to earn a medal since the modern era of state track and field meets began in 1964.

Bow Down to Cow Town, indeed.

After rampaging through league play on its way to a 9-0 mark this spring, the Coupeville High School softball squad got plenty of love from rival coaches.

Sophomore catcher Teagan Calkins, the two-way terror known as “The Red Dragon,” was tabbed as co-MVP of the Northwest 2B/1B League, while diamond guru Kevin McGranahan was named Coach of the Year.

Calkins was fond of cranking home runs, both of the over-the-fence and inside-the-park variety, while playing superb defense while working with a super-young pitching staff which featured two freshmen and an 8th grader.

Eight other Wolves were honored as well, with five making the First Team in coach voting.

Mia Farris glides in to make the snag.

Those players were juniors Madison McMillan, Taylor BrotemarkleMia Farris, and Jada Heaton, as well as fab frosh Haylee Armstrong.

Her fellow freshman (and cousin), Capri Anter, was joined by 8th graders Adeline Maynes and Sydney Van Dyke as Second-Team All-League selections.

Coupeville went 14-5 overall, reclaimed its conference crown, came within a play or two of advancing to state, and can return every player on the roster next spring.

A season of success ended with awards and praise.

The Coupeville High School softball squad, which went 14-5 and reclaimed the Northwest 2B/1B League title, capped the campaign Saturday with a team banquet.

Sophomore catcher Teagan Calkins was crowned team MVP, while junior third baseman Madison McMillan and 8th grade pitcher Adeline Maynes earned Offensive and Defensive MVP honors, respectively.
