They had themselves quite a day.

The Coupeville High School track and field team dominated Saturday at the 1A Olympic League Sub-District meet in Poulsbo.

Where to start?

At the top, where the Wolf girls ended up, and they will add a plaque to the school’s Wall of Fame.

Paced by freshman Maya Toomey-Stout and senior Skyler Lawrence, Coupeville collected five wins and 12 PRs while advancing at least 13 girls on to Districts.

With 102 points, the Wolves topped Klahowya (93), Port Townsend (50) and Chimacum (19) to reign as 1A League/Sub-District champs.

CHS finished 5th overall (out of 11 teams) in the Olympic League Championships.

That scoring system pitted the four 1A schools against the seven 2A schools which also sit under the league’s banner.

Toomey-Stout, who won the 100 and 200, while also running a leg on a victorious 4 x 200 relay team, was picked as the 1A Female Track Athlete of the Meet.

Lawrence, who claimed first in shot put and second in discus, was the 1A Female Field Athlete of the Meet.

Naika Hallam rounded out the female Wolf winners, capturing the javelin title.

On the boys side, CHS finished second in Sub-Districts, 5th in the OLC.

Port Townsend won the 1A boys title with 93 points, while Klahowya (75) narrowly edged Coupeville (74). Chimacum (19) was a distant fourth.

Ginormous 2A school North Kitsap won both team titles in the OLC tally.

The Coupeville boys were led by sprinter Jacob Smith, who was tabbed as the 1A Male Track Athlete of the Meet.

He won the 100 and 200 (a race in which his winning 1A time was better than any 2A runner) and ran a leg on a triumphant 4 x 400 unit.

Super sophomore Danny Conlisk joined Smith as a three-time winner, capturing the 400 and 800 in addition to being on the relay squad.

Ariah Bepler (High Jump) and Mitchell Carroll (Triple Jump) rounded out the Wolf boys who won league titles.

Carroll won his event by edging Port Townsend’s transcendent Seren Dances, who won three events (Long Jump, 110 Hurdles, 300 Hurdles).

Coupeville is off until May 19-20, when it clashes with the best of the Nisqually League at the District meet in Renton.

Top three finishers from Sub-Districts are guaranteed a berth at Districts, the last stop before state.

For those who finished fourth in Poulsbo, they have to wait a week until the Nisqually League holds its Sub-District meet.

With five 1A schools to the Olympic League’s four, the Nisqually is guaranteed four slots at districts.

The #4 finisher in each event from the OL will be compared to the #5 finisher in the NL, with the better time or distance getting the eighth and final slot to districts.

Coupeville had 12 fourth-place finishes, the most shocking coming in the girls 4 x 100.

That relay unit, which is ranked #9 in all of 1A, had a baton drop and scrambled to recover against teams they would have normally thrashed.

For now, CHS knows it will advance a minimum of 20 athletes (13 girls and seven boys), with six of them having qualified in three events.

Fab Five kills it in college!!

Still rackin’ up those numbers.

As we head through the first week of May, former Wolf stars continue to pile up stats in the world of college softball, baseball and track.

A peek in on how the Fab Five are doing (in alphabetic order):

Ben Etzell — A junior at Saint John’s University in Minnesota, he’s the main man in the bullpen for a Johnnies baseball team sitting at 25-11 headed into the playoffs.

He’s 3-1 with five saves, a 2.37 ERA and 28 strikeouts and is holding opposing teams to a .194 batting average.

Currently, he sits #1 on the team in saves and appearances (17) and #2 in ERA and K’s.

For his three-year career, he’s 9-2 with seven saves and 76 strikeouts while pitching in 36 games.

Hailey Hammer — A sophomore at Everett Community College, where she’s hitting .322 in 30 games for a 12-22 softball squad.

She has 28 hits, including a double, triple and three home runs, 20 RBI, 14 runs and 13 base on balls.

That puts her #3 on the team in RBI and hits and #4 in batting average.

Dalton Martin — A freshman at Everett Community College, where he’s throwing the discus.

Saturday, he finished 10th in the event at the Ken Shannon Invitational at the University of Washington’s outdoor track facility.

The meet reunited him with U-Dub freshman Jose Padilla, who won the discus toss.

Padilla, who hails from Chelan, and Martin finished 1st and 2nd at the 1A state track and field meet last spring as high school seniors.

Aaron Trumbull — A freshman at Olympic Community College, where he’s played in 16 games for an 11-23 team.

His claim to fame this season has been his work with the glove, where he’s recorded 42 put-outs and three assists while playing first base.

He’s one of only three Olympic baseball players to boast an error-free 1.000 fielding percentage, but he’s far in front of the other two guys, having played 45 innings to their combined two innings.

Monica Vidoni — A sophomore at Rainy River Community College in Minnesota, where the Voyageurs are 21-15.

She’s played in 29 games for the softball sluggers, collecting 17 hits, including three doubles, on her way to a .340 batting average.

Also has 14 RBI, 11 runs, seven walks and four steals.

   As he preps for Tuesday’s home playoff game, CHS hardball guru Chris Smith is fired up. (John Fisken photo)

One game to rule the world, or at least the prairie.

Postseason fever comes to Cow Town early next week, as the Coupeville High School baseball squad begins its pursuit of a state title.

Will the Wolves kick off a joy-ride or go one and done? I’m not a time traveler, so check back in a few days.

Until then, all the details worth printing:

What: West Central District 3 baseball playoff game

Who: Coupeville hosts Bellevue Christian

When: Tuesday, May 9 (first pitch 4 PM)

Weather forecast: The Weather Channel is predicting “mostly sunny,” with a high of 60, low of 48, and a nine-mile wind from the Northwest. Translation: it’ll be 32 degrees with rain and snow coming sideways. It’s the prairie…

Stakes: It’s a loser-out game. Win and you advance to the double-elimination portion of districts, where three of four teams will punch a trip to state.

The bracket: http://www.olympicleague.com/tournament.php?tournament_id=2268&sport=6

Ticket prices: It’s the playoffs, so you have to pay. Adult/students w/out ASB — $8, students w/ASB and senior citizens — $5, elementary students — $4.

And, how do the teams compare?

Records: CHS is 11-8, BC 7-10

League results: CHS #2 in Olympic League, BC #3 in Nisqually League

Current streak: CHS won four of final five games, while BC lost four straight to end regular season.

Last time they faced: Good question. While the two schools have clashed repeatedly in other sports recently, they haven’t met in baseball between 2010-2017 (the time frame the Olympic League web site documents).

Coaches: Chris Smith (1st season) for CHS, Blane Berry (4th season) for BC.

Seniors: CHS has six (Taylor Consford, Aiden Crimmins, Ethan Marx, Clay Reilly, Kory Score, Jonathan Thurston). BC has four (Peter Besel, Matthew Lew, Luke Miller, Kyle Sickles).

Mascots: Wolves for CHS, Vikings for BC.

Run differential: CHS outscored foes 133-104, while BC was outscored 112-91.

Best win/worst loss: CHS beat Port Townsend 22-0 and lost to Klahowya 15-4. BC beat Vashon Island 12-3 and lost 13-2 to Charles Wright Academy (which did not make the playoffs).

Foes in common: Vashon Island. CHS beat them 8-2, while BC swept three games from their league rivals.

State tourney history: CHS has been to state nine times, most recently in 2014. Its best showing came in 1987, when it finished 3rd. BC has been 10 times, most recently in 2011. The Vikings finished 2nd in 2002.

Sit down, Klahowya! You’ve been dethroned!!

Posted in 1A Olympic League, tagged , , , , , , on May 6, 2017| Leave a Comment »

Bow Down to Cow Town. (John Fisken photo)

The coup is complete. All hail the new regime.

Coupeville, the smallest school in the 1A Olympic League, has officially upended Klahowya, the largest (by far) to “win” the 2016-2017 school sports year.

With just one league softball game remaining for each school, the Wolves have won 51 varsity league games across the 10 sports they play, while the Eagles have 47 wins.

Port Townsend (28 wins) and Chimacum (23), which each have two league softball clashes yet to play, round out the field.

Out little un-scientific study covers volleyball, football, softball and baseball, as well as boys and girls basketball, soccer and tennis.

We don’t worry about track, where it’s largely about individual achievement and nearly impossible to track win-loss records when you face 20+ schools at some meets.

And this is Coupeville Sports, and not, say the Klahowya Gazette, so golf, cross country, swim, wrestling, bowling and gymnastics won’t count until CHS adds those sports. Which is probably never.

So, if we look at the “core 10,” there’s been a three-year progression.

Year one of the 1A Olympic League (2014-2015) Klahowya (which had 445.07 students in the 2016-2020 WIAA classification count) won 52 varsity games to Coupeville’s 40.

In year two, the Wolves (all 227 of them) closed the gap to 45-42.

And, now, in year three, Coupeville finishes on top, even with its girls tennis team, which is 15-0 all-time in league play, unable to play two of three matches against Chimacum because of never-ending rain.

The difference?

Every one of Coupeville’s 10 varsity teams in this study won between two (football) and the maximum nine (girls basketball) games, while Klahowya girls basketball, wracked by injuries, suffered through a win-less league season.

Along with being the kings (and queens) of the varsity wins battle, the Wolves also finish with the most league titles for a second straight year.

Klahowya won that battle 5-2 in year one, while Coupeville and the Eagles each won four titles in 2015-2016.

We’re giving the Wolves a win by asterisk, though.

Why? While the schools shared the baseball crown with 7-2 records last spring, Coupeville carried a #1 seed into the playoffs, having won two of three head-to-head.

Hey, I said this wasn’t the (non-existent) Klahowya Gazette…

In year three, the Wolves are a clear winner, however.

CHS has four titles (volleyball, girls basketball, girls and boys tennis) and are still in play for a share of the softball crown.

The Eagles sit with three (girls and boys soccer, baseball) and are out of the softball race.

With every sport except softball having wrapped up league play and headed to the postseason, here’s an up-to-the-moment look at spring sports standings:

Olympic League softball:

School League Overall
Chimacum 6-1 8-3
COUPEVILLE 6-2 15-2
Klahowya 3-5 7-7
Port Townsend 0-7 0-12

Olympic League baseball:

School League Overall
Klahowya 8-1 10-5
COUPEVILLE 6-3 11-8
Chimacum 4-5 6-7
Port Townsend 0-9 0-14

Olympic League boys soccer:

School League Overall
Klahowya 9-0 13-2-1
Port Townsend 6-3 8-7-0
COUPEVILLE 3-6 4-11-1
Chimacum 0-9 2-12-0

Olympic League girls tennis:

School League Overall
COUPEVILLE 4-0 6-3
Klahowya 3-3 5-9
Chimacum 0-4 0-7

Sweet-swingin’ seniors say sayonara!!

  Wolf senior Jae LeVine gets ready for her mic drop moment. (John Fisken photos)

Robin Cedillo and proud parents Fredrico and Melissa.

   Tiffany Briscoe (with flowers) gets support from mom Amy, lil’ sis Kyla and dad Rich.

   The LeVine clan lays claim to the diamond. L to r, it’s Micky, Sean, Jae, Joline, and, in front, Izzy “I’m coming for all your records” LeVine.

   There’s no crying in baseball. Good thing this is softball, where everyone is more in touch with their feelings.

Nicole Lester and assistant coach Stephanie Henning have their own party.

   The underclassmen create a tunnel of bats to welcome seniors and their parents to the field.

Legendary, in every way.

They are the last remnants of state tournament glory.

Coupeville High School seniors Jae LeVine, Robin Cedillo and Tiffany Briscoe were freshmen when the Wolf softball sluggers made a wild late-season run in 2014 that carried the program to the big dance for the first time in 12 years.

Now, the trio are grizzled vets, all major contributors for a rampaging 15-2 team intent on getting back to the tourney.

They still have a couple of regular season road games (and then a postseason run) ahead of them, but Thursday was the final time the three played a game on their home diamond.

Predictably, weather was a factor on the prairie and the game with Sequim was suspended in the top of the third.

But, in between the lightning warnings, the Wolves celebrated their graduates-to-be, and John Fisken snapped quality pics as it happened.
