The Mayne(s) star on Instagram.

Adeline Maynes is a buzzsaw in every season.

The Coupeville High School junior, who has been a pitching ace for the Wolves since she was an 8th grader, is currently playing travel softball with NW United.

And up to her usual batter-baffling shenanigans, as shown by this Instagram post hailing her for chucking a no-hitter during a tourney this past weekend.

With Maynes flinging the high hard cheese to help lead the way, NW United roared to a title, adding to her hardware.

Welcome to title town.

Softball is a year-round sport, and so is the art of “liberating” photos to share with the world.

The pics above and below feature current and former Wolves who are out there chasing diamond dreams this fall, whether it be at the college level or on high school travel ball squads.

Coupeville grads Madison McMillan (Edmonds College) and Teagan Calkins (University of Colorado Boulder) are playing at the next level.

Meanwhile current Wolves Adeline Maynes, Chelsi Stevens, Capri Anter, and smash sisters Sydney and Cami Van Dyke are playing with select teams, making the commitment to travel off Island in between classes in Cow Town.

All are swinging big bats and continuing to spread the news that Coupeville is a softball hotbed.

Maynes chucks heat, world takes note

Adeline Maynes is contemplating spending the holidays in a place much warmer than Whidbey.

The Coupeville High School softball sensation has been tabbed to represent Washington state at the 4th annual National All State Championship in Florida Dec. 28-31.

The event, put on by USSSA Fastpitch at the Space Coast Complex, is “a showcase-style event created to bring athletes from across the country together for a competitive and memorable experience.”

Maynes, who will be a junior at CHS this fall, has been a standout in the pitcher’s circle, leading the Wolves to back-to-back state tournament trips the past two seasons after debuting as the #1 chucker as a mere 8th grader.

With Coupeville winning three games at the big dance, two in 2025 and one this spring, it’s the first time the program advanced to state in consecutive years.

A busy bee, Maynes has previously balanced three sports, also playing varsity volleyball and basketball, while pulling double duty as a school and travel ball softball ace.

Now, as she embraces a chance to make big strides on the diamond, Maynes plans to focus solely on softball, stepping away from her other sports, said mom Lara.

Adeline flung heat for the Island Vipers travel ball squad this summer, while also making an appearance with New Level Premium in the 17U gold bracket at the Canada Cup in July.

Going forward, the strikeout queen will suit up for NW United 18U, a top-level squad based out of Lynnwood.

Maynes nabs some Instagram love.

One final time, with style.

Five members of the Island Vipers travel softball squad, including four who hail from Coupeville, participated this past weekend in the Washington-Oregon All-State Games, hosted by USSSA.

The event, held in Kent, featured a skills competition, on‑field activities, and the chance for each player to see action in two games.

Players were nominated for the season-closing affair, and wore their team uniforms, creating a tapestry of different outfits befitting an all-star rumble.

Repping the Vipers were CHS students Cami Van Dyke, Adeline Maynes, Capri Anter, and Sydney Van Dyke, as well as South Whidbey slugger Sophie Zeigler, who whacked a home run during the event.

They battled to the final moment.

Putting a wrap on early-summer practices, a pack of Coupeville High School volleyball players participated in a spirited mini tourney Monday and Tuesday.

The 11 Wolves were split into three squads, then played in a three vs. three format, with Adeline Maynes, Lexis Drake, Rhylee Inman, and Haylee Armstrong claiming top honors.

Monday was pool play, with Team 1 (Willow Leedy-Bonifas, Arianna Cunningham, and Kennedy O’Neill) splitting a pair of sets with Team 2 (the eventual champs).

Team 1 also faced off with Team 3 (Sydney Van Dyke, Isa Mc Fetridge, Zariyah Allen, and Capri Anter), taking the first set 15-12, before time ran out on a 10-10 tie in the second frame.

Wrapping up pool play, Team 2 swept a pair of sets from Team 3.

Tuesday, Team 1 pulled out a three-set win over Team 3 to advance to the tourney championship match, where it fell in straight sets to Team 2.

For CHS coach Scout Smith, the tourney “gave us something to build towards and a fun way to compete with each other,” while providing a chance to see returning veterans mesh with some relative newcomers.
