Cameron Toomey-Stout lets it all hang out.

Unleash the Wolves.

Hosting its second official meet at its new home facilities, the Coupeville High School track and field team was a ruthless host Monday afternoon.

Obliterating two of its former long-time rivals, Friday Harbor and Lopez, the Wolves, even shuffling their lineup around, were extraordinarily dominant.

The CHS girls won 14 of 17 events, while the Wolf boys finished first in 11 of 15.

Coupeville won four relays, and had 17 different athletes win an individual event, led by double winners Mckenzie Meyer, Skyler Lawrence, Jacob Martin, Lauren Grove, Mitchell Carroll and Lindsey Roberts.

The Wolves set 28 PRs in the meet, with one of the most impressive performances coming from Allison Wenzel.

Throwing the javelin on a clear, sunny afternoon on her home turf, the CHS junior shattered her previous best by an astonishing eight feet, six inches.

Let’s not dwell on it…

We’re gonna keep this short and sweet.

Sort of the opposite of the game itself.

Unable to muster a hit against a more experienced South Whidbey squad, the Coupeville High School JV baseball team fell hard Monday afternoon.

The 13-0 loss, which drops the Wolves to 2-6 on the season, went on for quite awhile without much good happening for the guys in red and black.

“One of those games where it’s about learning … cause you hope they learn,” said CHS coach Mike Etzell.

With the Wolf varsity off-Island playing a league game, Coupeville had a straight-up JV squad on the field, while the Falcons, whose varsity was idle, were able to use some swing players.

It showed at times as South Whidbey wielded heavy bats and, other than a few walks here and there, thoroughly dominated.

Coupeville did get seven runners on, mustering six walks and a fly ball from Shane Losey which was dropped for an error.

Jacob Zettle and Kyle Rockwell led the way, with two walks apiece, while Ulrik Wells and James Vidoni also eked out free passes.

Coupeville used three pitchers, with Elliott Johnson, Jake Pease and Gavin Knoblich all seeing mound time.

If nothing else, it was live game action, always preferable to practice, and the sun was out the entire afternoon.

And that’s about all I have to say about that.

Wolves pull out a thriller!!

Hope lives.

Refusing to lose, the Coupeville High School baseball squad rallied time and again Monday, eventually pulling out a wild 6-5 win at Chimacum in 10 hard-fought innings.

The victory lifts the Wolves to 3-2 in Olympic League play, 8-7 overall, and hands them sole possession of second-place with four conference games left on the schedule.

Coupeville sits two off of Klahowya (5-0, 6-3), while Chimacum (2-3, 4-5) and Port Townsend (0-5, 0-7) round out the race.

The Wolves, who still face an uphill climb to defend their league title, return home Wednesday to face the win-less RedHawks, before trekking back to Chimacum Friday.

Monday afternoon CHS never trailed, but also could never quite pull away from the Cowboys until the third extra inning.

Having seen a 4-1 lead evaporate, and then having exchanged runs with their hosts in a tense ninth inning, the Wolves snatched the momentum for good in the tenth.

Dane Lucero, who was hit-less up to that moment, led off the top of the tenth with a resounding double, then moved to third and came around to score on wild pitches.

With the lead in hand, Wolf hurler Jonathan Thurston slammed the door shut.

After giving up a one-out walk to put the tying run on base, Thurston promptly cut that runner down on a fielder’s choice, hitting shortstop Hunter Smith for the force at second.

He then closed the game by inducing a ground-out, with the throw safely landing in first-baseman Kory Score’s glove.

“Good game, very big win for us in our league standings,” said CHS coach Chris Smith.

The Wolves had jumped out to a 4-1 lead, getting a run in the second, two more in the third and another in the fourth.

The game’s first tally came courtesy Joey Lippo, who laced an RBI single to plate Julian Welling, who had bashed a double.

Welling was right back at it an inning later, this time driving in Taylor Consford and Clay Reilly with his second base-knock of the game.

In the fourth, Matt Hilborn doubled and came around to score on a well-placed single by Consford, Coupeville’s starting pitcher.

Chimacum played catch-up, though, netting a run of its own in the fourth, then knotting things up at 4-4 with two more in the fifth.

Lippo kept the Wolves alive, however, gunning down a runner at the plate while wandering in center field.

It was his second strong throw of the game, coming after he doubled a runner off of first moments after snagging a fly ball in the first inning.

Coupeville had a golden, and somewhat surprising, opportunity to reclaim the lead in the sixth, but it wasn’t to be.

Consecutive two-out singles from Nick Etzell, Hilborn and Hunter Smith juiced the bags, but the Cowboys escaped unscathed when they found an inning-ending strikeout at just the right moment.

Both teams battled scoreless through the sixth, seventh and eighth, then traded runs in the ninth.

After recording his third hit of the day, Hilborn scored for Coupeville on a ground-out off the bat of Reilly, but a crucial error stung the Wolves in the bottom of the inning.

Which merely set the table for Lucero to be a hero and send his squad back to the ferry wearing smiles.

No rain, all gain!!

Let them play and they will win.

The rainiest spring in recent memory has played havoc with the schedule for the Coupeville High School girls tennis team.

Maybe that’s changing, though, as Monday provided clear skies and not a single drop of liquid sunshine.

Taking advantage, the Wolf netters played a complete match for the first time in almost two weeks, whacking visiting Friday Harbor 7-0.

The victory, coming against a longtime rival, lifts Coupeville to 3-3 on the season.

The Wolves, who are hoping against hope to play four matches this week, host Chimacum Tuesday, then hit the road Wednesday (South Whidbey) and Thursday (Klahowya).

Their trip to Silverdale could be a two-for-one experience, as the plan is to finish a match that was suspended (by rain, what else) with the Wolves ahead 2-0, then play a regularly scheduled match.

Facing off with Friday Harbor, Coupeville ran away with the match, winning six of seven varsity tilts in straight sets.

With their win, first doubles duo Sage Renninger and Payton Aparicio improved to a flawless 5-0 as a unit this season.

Renninger is actually 6-0, having won a match with lil’ sis Avalon when her normal partner was on vacation.

Complete Monday results:

Varsity:

1st singles — Valen Trujillo beat Morgan Timmons 6-0, 6-0

2nd singles — Fanny Deprelle beat Alli Benz 6-0, 6-0

3rd singles — Bree Daigneault beat Val Barrios 6-0, 6-1

1st doubles — Sage Renninger/Payton Aparicio beat Hiro Sarah/Aida Must 6-4, 6-3

2nd doubles — Avalon Renninger/Zoe Trujillo beat Midi Thomas/Mariah Dannaher 6-3, 6-2

3rd doubles — Maggie Crimmins/Kameryn St Onge beat Lucy Urbach/Joely Loucks 6-1, 6-4

4th doubles — Tia Wurzrainer/Claire Mietus beat Isabella Brown/Julia Urbach 5-7, 6-3, 6-4

JV:

5th doubles — Jillian Mayne/Zara Bradley lost to Katy Kulseth/Tori Polda 8-2

6th doubles — Julie Bucio/Nanci Melendrez beat Madeline King/Ren Di Bona 6-1

7th doubles — Heather Nastali/Sophie Furtjes lost to Thomas/Dannaher 6-0

8th doubles — Rubi Melendrez/Bradley lost to Barrios/Polda 6-0

“Another solid win!!”

“We ended it early so we could go to Taco Time for dinner.”

Raining down pain on host Meridian Monday, the Coupeville High School softball squad made quick work of another opponent, leaving coach Kevin McGranahan smiling.

“The whole team fought from the beginning to the end,” he said. “Another solid win for the Wolves.”

By the time CHS was done pasting the ball — all nine starters had at least one hit, with Katrina McGranahan tallying a double, triple and home run — the Wolves had rolled to a 12-2 win called early thanks to the mercy rule.

The win, the fifth straight for Coupeville, lifts it to 12-1 on the season.

That matches the 2002 Wolf sluggers, who finished 3rd at state, for the best start through 13 games.

Facing their second straight foe from the always-dangerous Northwest Conference, Coupeville showed the same resolve (and big bats) which helped them thump Lynden Christian Saturday.

The Wolves got to Meridian’s starting pitcher in a hurry.

Lead-off hitter Lauren Rose swatted a single, then, two batters later, Katrina McGranahan jacked her fourth home run of the season, parking it deep over the fence in right-center.

A couple of walks, a Meridian error and a single off the bat of Hope Lodell plated two more runs before the inning was done, and the Wolves were off in style.

Coupeville added two in the third, then put together three-run rallies in both the fourth and sixth to ice the game.

Continuing her torrid pitching of late, McGranahan mowed down 10 of the first 11 batters she faced, allowing only one runner until the fourth inning.

Never in danger (Meridian scraped together its two runs in the sixth after trailing 12-0), she whiffed 11 and, when necessary, got a little prime-time help from her defense.

The very first batter singled, only to be gunned down trying to steal second by Wolf catcher Sarah Wright.

CHS had everything going for it — pitching, defense, and, as usual, high-powered offense.

All three of McGranahan’s hits were for extra bases, and she was only denied a chance to hit for the cycle when Meridian walked her the fourth time she strode to the plate.

Wright (a single and double) and Lodell (two singles) backed her up, while Rose, Jae LeVine, Mikayla Elfrank, Veronica Crownover, Tiffany Briscoe and Tamika Nastali all added a base-knock.

Freshman Scout Smith scored twice and had a pair of steals as a pinch-runner.
