One final honor for the diamond dog.

Coupeville High School senior Peyton Caveness was tabbed to play in an All-State baseball feeder game, joining an exclusive list of Wolves to receive the call over the years.

His last swings in the spotlight came in Anacortes Thursday.

Caveness opened the game at first base for a couple of innings, then moved behind the plate to catch the rest of the way.

At the plate, the Wolf standout was part of an offense which carved up rival pitching in a 15-1 win.

The all-star game capped a stellar four-year run of high school baseball for Caveness.

He was a First-Team All-Conference pick by Northwest 2B/1B League coaches as a senior, pacing the Wolves in most offensive categories.

Coupeville’s primary catcher, Caveness also saw time on the mound as a pitcher and helped anchor the infield when needed.

Even in a game featuring a murderer’s row of basketball players, Logan Downes made his presence felt.

There weren’t a ton of available shots Saturday at the All-State game, with a stacked roster of #1 options letting fly almost every time they touched the ball.

But Downes, the leading male scorer in Coupeville High School hoops history, did a lot of the small things.

A rebound here, a steal there, an assist to set up a temporary teammate for a bucket.

And when the ball did momentarily land on his fingertips, the Wolf senior rained down one of the prettiest three-balls of the afternoon.

Downes finished with five points, as the 2B all-stars routed the best from 1B to a 120-82 tune.

Adna’s Luke Salme and Brewster’s Brady Wulf topped all scorers with 19 apiece, while Lincoln Foland of Liberty (Spangle) banked in 18.

The 2B vs 1B showdown was one of four games played Saturday.

The other two all-senior games went to the lower classification, with 3A toppling 4A 141-106 and 1A slipping past 2A 99-90.

Things started off with a Futures game, featuring the best non-seniors in the state.

Anacortes junior Davis Fogle, who played against Coupeville as an 8th grader when he suited up for Mount Vernon Christian, poured in 39 points in that contest.

Before each game, the Washington Interscholastic Basketball Coaches Association handed out its awards for state player and coaches of the year.

At the 2B level, those went to Colfax coach Reece Jenkins and Napavine gunner James Grose.

It was quite the heroic hardwood run.

Logan Downes exited as the top male scorer in Coupeville High School’s 107-year basketball history, and #2 all-time to Brianne King.

Along the way to tossing in 1,305 points, he played a vital role in the Wolves winning a pair of Bi-District titles and advancing to state both times.

The latter two events are things which hadn’t happened for the CHS boys in 50+ and 30+ years, respectively, before Downes pulled on a uniform.

A four-year varsity player, he had a major impact on the Wolf program.

And now, after recognition from area coaches in previous seasons, the CHS senior is getting flowers from more far-flung regions.

Downes has been picked as an All-State player by the Washington Interscholastic Basketball Coaches Association, the highest honor for senior hoops stars.

The 10-man 2B team is headed up by that classification’s Player of the Year, James Grose of Napavine, who poured in 2000+ points during his prep career.

Along with the honor of being named to the team, Downes also gets an invitation to the WIBCA All-Star weekend.

There are five games set to be played Saturday, Mar. 16 at Bellevue College, with the best of 1B facing off with 2B at 12:30 PM.

Downes and Grose will be joined by Lincoln Foland (Liberty of Spangle), Chase Marchand (Lake Roosevelt), Seth Lustig (Colfax), Blake McClure (Tri-Cities Prep), Braeden Salme (Adna), Zach Swanson (Toutle Lake), Beckett Turner (Ilwaco), and Brady Wulf (Brewster).

It’s the second time in three seasons Coupeville has sent a player to the All-State game.

Xavier Murdy scored 10 points during his appearance in 2022, helping the 2B team roll to a 115-95 win.

“You know all those times when we let other players hit you in the face and didn’t call fouls? It was to make you tougher, and see, it worked!”

The run of excellence continues.

The power-hitting spike machine will join other top athletes at Burlington-Edison High School Sunday for the celebration.

She finished the season with 172 kills, 14 digs, 17 solo blocks, 21 block assists, two assists, and one service ace, leading Coupeville in solo blocks and block assists.
