They represented.

Coupeville High School landed three All-Conference honorees when Northwest 2B/1B League baseball coaches tabbed the best players of the spring.

Wolf senior Landon Roberts and junior Camden Glover were picked as First-Team All-League selections, with junior Coop Cooper earning Second-Team status.

The veteran trio were leaders on a very-young CHS hardball squad which went 6-13 overall, 5-7 in league play.

All three pitched for the Wolves, while also manning other positions when they weren’t on the mound.

Roberts and Glover both did stints at catcher for a program which only had 11 players this season, as well as playing in the infield.

When Cooper wasn’t chucking strikes, he was also an active infielder, with all three standing tall at the plate, providing an offensive spark for Steve Hilborn’s squad.

Glover led CHS with a .380 batting average, 18 RBI, and six doubles, while Roberts hit .356 with a team-high 21 base hits.

On the mound, Glover (66), Cooper (61), and Roberts (54) paced the Wolves in strikeouts, with Cooper leading the team in starts.

Camden Glover (17) and Coop Cooper helped anchor a CHS baseball team which was short on players this season.

Hurricanes nip Wolves in diamond rumble

One team is playing for a league title, the other for a strong finish to a challenging season.

Mount Vernon Christian and Coupeville High School’s baseball squads are trending in opposite direction this season, with the Hurricanes soaring and the Wolves rebuilding.

But Tuesday’s tilt was still a fairly close one, with MVC eventually slipping away for a 5-0 win on the mainland.

The loss drops Coupeville to 5-6 in Northwest 2B/1B League play (the ‘Canes are 10-1), and 6-12 overall heading into what will be their season finale Thursday afternoon.

Having been eliminated from playoff contention, the Wolves will wrap things up with a Senior Night game — honoring Landon Roberts and Jesus Madrigal — with the first pitch set for 4:00 PM.

The Wolves can also throw a wrinkle into the chase for a league title if they upend MVC Thursday, with the private school diamond men clinging to a one-game lead over Friday Harbor (9-2) in the battle for a banner.

Tuesday’s rumble was a pitcher’s duel, with Wolf junior Camden Glover whiffing eight and walking just a single batter.

But the Wolves failed to generate much heat of their own on the offensive side of the ball, limited to two base knocks and a walk.

Mount Vernon starting pitcher Carson Wilms retired the first 11 batters he faced, with Glover finally breaking through with a two-out single in the top of the fourth.

Other than that, the Wolves only burst of activity at the plate came in the sixth, when Chris Zenz walked and Landon Roberts poked a single.

But, with two runners aboard, Coupeville left them stranded, ending the frame on a strikeout and flyout.

The Hurricanes netted the only two runs they would need in the bottom of the first, then added two more tallies in the third and a final one in the sixth.

Camden Glover rips a hit.

One generation of players passing on lessons to the next.

Current Coupeville High School baseball players and coaches spent time Sunday with Central Whidbey Little League’s Majors team, helping cement the connection between both programs.

For the Wolves, who head into a two-game series with Mount Vernon Christian this week to end the regular season, it was a chance “to help fuel the love of the game” and “give back to the program where it all began.”

For the CWLL stars, the event gave them a window into a world they hope to fully occupy one day.

In short, a win-win for the growth and success of Coupeville baseball.

Quiet bats sting hardball squad

The bats came up empty.

Three South Whidbey pitchers combined to toss a no-hitter Saturday in Langley, sending the Coupeville High School baseball squad tumbling to a 10-0 loss in a game mercy-ruled in the sixth inning.

The non-conference defeat drops the Wolves to 6-11 overall as they prep for their final regular season series.

CHS will play two next week against Northwest 2B/1B League leader Mount Vernon Christian, hitting the road to the mainland Tuesday before welcoming the Hurricanes to Cow Town Thursday.

The finale is Senior Night, when the Wolves will recognize Landon Roberts and Jesus Madrigal for their contributions to the program.

Saturday’s tilt between next door neighbors featured both teams using a three-man pitching rotation.

Wolf hurlers Camden Glover, Trent Thule (making his varsity mound debut), and Roberts combined for eight strikeouts, but Coupeville was stung by five errors in the field.

Meanwhile, Falcon pitchers Malachi Pierson, Sage Northup, and Grady Davis prevented CHS from collecting a single base knock, limiting the visitors to four walks while K’ing up 12 batters.

CHS coach Steve Hilborn didn’t have many runners arrive at third Saturday afternoon.

With South Whidbey playing error-free ball behind its pitching staff, the Wolves had limited runners and never got any of them close to scoring.

Coop Cooper got a free pass in the top of the first, Glover nabbed one in the sixth, and Coupeville put Carson Grove and Jayden Little aboard in the second on back-to-back walks.

But that was it for the Wolves, with 13 straight hitters being retired between the walks to Little and Glover.

South Whidbey, which improved to 9-8 with the win, chipped away at the plate all day, pushing three across in the first inning and another run in the second.

Two more runners tapped the plate in the fourth to push the lead out to 6-0, before the Falcons ended things prematurely with another four runs in the bottom of the sixth.

Tom Fallon’s hometown team racked up nine base hits, with Northup, Pierson, and Aiden Aburto Flores each smacking a double to lead the way.
