They came, they saw, they held their own.

Competing at the 23-team Rainier Icebreaker Saturday, the Coupeville High School track and field teams put in a long day’s work.

The Wolves left the gym at 6:30 AM and didn’t get back to home base until 10 PM.

But it was worth it, said CHS coach Elizabeth Bitting.

“It was a long day with some great results.

“Not only was the sun out bright and hot but our athletes were on fire today! Lots of PRs and lots of improvements.”

The Wolves racked up 27 personal bests, with 21 athletes garnering at least one.

Freshman Ivy Rudat led the way, setting records in the 200, 400, and long jump, while Kayla Crane, Myra McDonald, Reese Wilkinson, and Lexis Drake all earned two PRs.

Overall, the CHS girls finished 10th in the team standings, while the boys were 16th. Montesano claimed both titles.

Next up for the Wolves is a home meet Wednesday, Mar. 20.

But for now, Coupeville’s track stars can take a moment to bask in the afterglow of a solid performance on a big stage.

“The experience they get from invitationals like the Rainer Icebreaker is invaluable,” Bitting said. “It was a good day!”

Blue skies, big win

After a tough opening week, the Coupeville High School varsity baseball squad bounced back big Saturday, drilling visiting North Mason 5-2.

Sparked by a powerhouse performance on the mound from senior Peyton Caveness, the Wolves improve to 1-2 on the very-young season.

With their next three games being their first Northwest 2B/1B League tilts, the victory provides a nice spark for the young hardball squad.

Saturday’s rumble with North Mason played out in the best weather, by far, that the prairie has seen during the start of spring sports.

That seemed to put a little extra zing in the offense, as the teams combined to score four of the game’s seven runs in the first inning.

The Bulldogs scratched out a run in the top half of the frame but couldn’t get more as Caveness bore down with a little defensive help from shortstop Cole White.

Given their first crack, the Wolves immediately responded, pushing three runs across to take a lead they wouldn’t relinquish.

White led off with a single, before Matthew Gilbert and Caveness walked to load the bases with no one out.

North Mason momentarily looked like it might escape, thanks to back-to-back strikeouts, but then Coupeville stung the visitors.

Coop Cooper eked out a bases-loaded walk to tie the game up at 1-1, before Johnny Porter laced a two-run double to right field to push his team in front.

Once he had the lead, Caveness was relentless, striking out seven as he held the visitors scoreless over the next five innings.

CHS tacked on a run in the third, with Camden Glover streaking home to score on a wild pitch, before Yohannon Sandles plated Landon Roberts in the fourth with an RBI single to right field.

The Wolves almost busted things wide open in the fifth, loading the bases with one out.

Unfortunately, North Mason escaped thanks to a double play on a line drive.

Not that it ultimately mattered, as Wolf hurlers Caveness and Glover combined to keep the Bulldogs largely at bay the rest of the way.

The visitors pushed one run across in the top of the seventh, before Glover ended the game with a bang, blowing a third strike past a hapless hitter to seal the deal.

The Wolves racked up five hits in the game, while showcasing eagle eyes as they garnered nine free passes.

Johnny Porter’s double was the big blow, with Roberts, Sandles, Glover, and White recording singles.

Cooper led the way with three walks, while Caveness twice was waved down to first after the North Mason pitcher couldn’t find the plate.

Gilbert, Roberts, Glover, and Jack Porter also got aboard thanks to showing patience at the plate, while Aiden O’Neill rounded out the Wolf lineup with some stellar defense.

Wolf grads soar at next level

All around the world, the Wolves were howling.

Four different Coupeville High School grads were in action at the next level this weekend, with action going down in three sports and on two continents.

What was happening:

 

Logan Martin:

Now a sophomore track and field star at Central Washington University, he claimed a pair of top-three finishes at the PLU Open in Tacoma.

Martin finished second in the hammer throw Friday, tossing the implement 176 feet, nine inches, then came back around Saturday to earn third in the shot put with a throw of 42-8.75.

 

Dominic Coffman:

The 2023 CHS grad is playing semi-pro football in Spain, and he rushed for 150 yards and a pair of touchdowns Saturday as the Las Rozas Black Demons won 44-13.

That gives the former Wolf four scores across the past two games for a gridiron squad which is now 6-0 on the season.

 

Tate Wyman:

The Oregon Tech freshman ran in two track events Saturday at the Pacific Northwest Invite in Corvallis.

Wyman placed seventh in the 110 hurdles in 19.13 seconds, and 17th in the 200, where he set a PR with a time of 24.42.

 

Caleb Meyer:

The former Wolf saw his basketball career at Skagit Valley College end Saturday, with the Cardinals falling 79-77 to Tacoma in an overtime thriller in the semifinals of the Northwest Athletic Conference tourney.

SVC finished 26-6 as Meyer saw court time in 20 games during his sophomore campaign.

Downes runs with the big boys

Even in a game featuring a murderer’s row of basketball players, Logan Downes made his presence felt.

There weren’t a ton of available shots Saturday at the All-State game, with a stacked roster of #1 options letting fly almost every time they touched the ball.

But Downes, the leading male scorer in Coupeville High School hoops history, did a lot of the small things.

A rebound here, a steal there, an assist to set up a temporary teammate for a bucket.

And when the ball did momentarily land on his fingertips, the Wolf senior rained down one of the prettiest three-balls of the afternoon.

Downes finished with five points, as the 2B all-stars routed the best from 1B to a 120-82 tune.

Adna’s Luke Salme and Brewster’s Brady Wulf topped all scorers with 19 apiece, while Lincoln Foland of Liberty (Spangle) banked in 18.

The 2B vs 1B showdown was one of four games played Saturday.

The other two all-senior games went to the lower classification, with 3A toppling 4A 141-106 and 1A slipping past 2A 99-90.

Things started off with a Futures game, featuring the best non-seniors in the state.

Anacortes junior Davis Fogle, who played against Coupeville as an 8th grader when he suited up for Mount Vernon Christian, poured in 39 points in that contest.

Before each game, the Washington Interscholastic Basketball Coaches Association handed out its awards for state player and coaches of the year.

At the 2B level, those went to Colfax coach Reece Jenkins and Napavine gunner James Grose.

They’re making do with a limited roster.

The Coupeville High School girls’ tennis team only has eight players this season, and through the first two matches, the Wolves have yet to field a full lineup.

Friday afternoon brought the CHS road warriors to Friday Harbor, where they were without Skylar Parker and Kaitlyn Leavell, who played first and second singles in the season’s opening match.

Moving people around, and welcoming the debut of Tenley Stuurmans, Delanie Lewis, and Sofia Phay, Coupeville put up a spirited fight in a 4-0 loss.

The defeat drops the Wolves to 0-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 0-2 overall.

CHS, which is playing all 10 of its matches away from home this season as new tennis courts are built, returns to action Mar. 22 with a trek to the wilds of Granite Falls.

 

Friday’s results:

1st Singles — Brynn Parker lost to Georgia Keune 6-0, 6-2

2nd Singles — Tenley Stuurmans lost to Ava Martin 6-2, 6-4

1st Doubles — Delanie Lewis/Rafaela Silva De Campos Conceicao lost to Norah Leighton/Ava Gamez 6-2, 6-1

2nd Doubles — Kaurie Hamilton/Sofia Phay lost to Charisse Ho/Josephine Lane 6-3
