Want to some day chase down fly balls like Hope Lodell or slug home runs like Katrina McGranahan?

Now’s your chance.

The Coupeville High School softball squad is offering a free skills clinic Saturday, April 1 for kids in grades K-8.

The event will kickoff with registration at 9:15 AM at Rhododendron Park on Patmore Road, and the clinic runs from 10-12.

If there’s rain, things will move inside the high school gym.

Children should come ready with a bat, glove, footwear (inside and outside), softball clothing, jacket and water.

The longest road trip of the season took a bad detour in the final moments.

Having traveled 114 miles one-way Tuesday to visit Forks, the land of twinkly vampires and Ron Bagby memorials, the Coupeville High School boys soccer squad squandered a two-goal lead and fell 3-2 in a non-conference game.

The loss dropped the Wolves to 1-2-1 on the season.

CHS struck early, getting scores from Ethan Spark and Uriel Liquidano as it built a semi-cushy lead.

Spark knocked a ball into the top left corner of the net from 30 yards out for his team-leading fourth goal of the season, then the always-dependable Liquidano struck for his first score of 2017.

Using his head to redirect a William Nelson corner kick past the Forks goalie, the senior put the Wolves up 2-0.

The host Spartans chipped away, however, scoring on a corner kick right before the break, then using a goal off of a breakaway to knot things up in the second half.

With the game in its final minutes, Forks struck one last time, converting off of a corner kick right before the clock froze at the two-minute mark, sending the final countdown into the hands of the ref.

The Wolves return to their home pitch Friday for another non-conference game, when they welcome North Mason to town for a 3:30 game.

It will be the third time in five games this season Coupeville has played above its classification against a 2A school.
