Countdown to the playoffs.

It’s two days until the Coupeville High School baseball squad opens postseason action with a winner-to-state, loser-goes-home game.

That rumble goes down Saturday at Lakewood High School, when the Wolves square off with the winner of an earlier Friday Harbor vs. Northwest Christian (Lacey) contest.

As the CHS diamond squad wiles away the time until the first pitch, we present a photographic look at some of its players and coaches, as seen through the lens of Parker Hammons.

Welcome to the postseason.

Two of Coupeville High School’s four spring sports programs are in action this Saturday, with berths to the state championships at stake.

Wolf track hosts the district meet here in Cow Town, while CHS baseball hits the road and travels to Lakewood High School.

Softball and girls’ tennis begin their own postseason treks a bit later, but here’s what you need to know if you’re planning on attending this weekend’s action.

 

BASEBALL:

Steve Hilborn’s crew, which has been on a tear in the second half of the season, carries a 10-8 record into play Saturday, and is the top-seeded squad in a three-team royal rumble.

Northwest Christian of Lacey (9-5) opens against Friday Harbor (5-11) at noon in a loser-out game, with the victor returning to the turf field at 2:00(ish) to face Coupeville for the lone state playoff berth from the District 1/2 tourney.

The Wolves will be the home team in their game.

Lakewood High School is located at 17023 11th Ave NE in Arlington.

Playoff pricing is in effect, with both cash and digital ticketing accepted.

Cost is $8 for adults and students without ASB, and $6 for students with ASB, seniors, and children.

TRACK AND FIELD:

Things will be hoppin’ at Mickey Clark Field, as Coupeville hosts the District 1/2 meet, with 2B and 1B teams competing (separately) for tickets to state.

For out-of-towners, the field is at 501 S. Main, directly behind the Coupeville Elementary.

To advance on to Yakima, Wolf athletes need a top two finish in their event Saturday.

Field events start at 11:00 AM, with track events getting under way at 11:30.

Once again, it’s the postseason, so there will be hands in your pockets if you want to get past the gate.

Ticket prices are the same as with baseball, and can be purchased on site with cash or through GoFan at:

One final swing.

Coupeville grad Joey Lippo wrapped a four-year run as a two-sport collegiate athlete Monday.

After graduating from the University of Maine at Presque Isle over the weekend, the former Wolf took the field for a final time in an Owls uniform.

Lippo racked up a hit, a run, and a walk, as UMPI split a doubleheader to the University of Maine-Farmington.

Presque Isle won the opener 11-4, then fell 5-2 in the finale, ending the season at 4-26.

While the Owls struggled to find a winning rhythm during a rebuilding year under a new coach, Coupeville’s progeny put together a strong final campaign on the diamond.

Lippo smacked 27 hits, including three doubles, knocked in a team-high 15 RBI, and scored 18 runs as a senior.

Over his four-year run in Maine, Joe and Connie’s son played in 117 games, recording 412 at-bats, 79 runs, 117 hits, 11 doubles, five triples, two home runs, 52 RBI, 49 walks, and 16 stolen bases.

Skyy’s twin brother, who was a three-sport athlete during his CHS days, also played golf at UMPI, keeping busy in the months when baseball was dormant.

The number of contests goes down, while the importance of those contests goes up.

As we head into the first full week of May, all four Coupeville High School spring sports teams are in action, with the final regular season rumbles mixing with postseason play.

Wolf softball hosts South Whidbey Friday, while the CHS netters travel to Granite Falls Monday and Friday Harbor on Friday, and that’s a wrap for non-playoff games.

Meanwhile, both track and baseball attend district-level events Saturday, with the former at home and the latter on the road at Lakewood.

Qualifying for state will be the primary focus for the Wolves, with softball and tennis making their own bids for further glory the following week.

They’re in pause mode for the moment.

The regular season is done, and now the Coupeville High School baseball squad is playoff-bound.
