They had home field advantage and they claimed it.

Competing on their own oval Saturday, the Coupeville High School track and field squad dominated six other schools, sweeping to lopsided wins in the Cow Town Classic Invite.

The Wolf boys stormed to a massive win, piling up 235 points while runner-up Clallam Bay collected 85.

Lopez Island (58), Chief Leschi (48), Neah Bay (41), Forks (36), and Concrete (25) rounded out the competitors.

On the girls’ side of things, CHS finished with 196 points, with Forks (85), Lopez (84), and Neah Bay (84) bunched up in a second-place battle.

Clallam Bay (21), Chief Leschi (8), and Concrete (6) brought up the rear.

On the day Coupeville snagged 14 wins and 33 PRs, with Cyrus Sparacio (800, 1600, 3200), Kennedy O’Neill (100 and 300 Hurdles), Arianna Cunningham (Javelin, 4 x 100 Relay), and Wyatt Fitch-Marron (4 x 1, 4 x 4) winning multiple events.

Sparacio, just a freshman, hit PRs in all three of his events, as well.

While Fitch-Marron finished second in the high jump, the sophomore smashed his PR by four inches, elevating six feet, two inches.

That puts him just two inches away from the school record of 6-4, jointly held by the non-related Rich Wilson and Cael Wilson.

While the times were fast and the wins many, making the day a total success were the volunteers, who poured into Coupeville’s stadium ready and rarin’ to go on a sunny Saturday.

“A great big shout out to all our volunteers!” said CHS coaches Elizabeth Bitting and Bob Martin. “Not one spot was empty!

“From the elementary school principal (Erica McColl) to Melissa and Brett Casey, to the many parents, family members, even a King (Randy) was present.

“EVERY position was filled. This helped with the meet running so smoothly.”

Fresh off their home success, Coupeville returns to action next Saturday, May 2, when it travels to Sammamish High School for the 22-team BCS Invitational, the final regular-season meet.

After that comes the league meet, districts, and, hopefully, the state championships.

Score one for the public schools.

The Coupeville High School girls’ tennis team rolled into Seattle Saturday and captured a hard-fought 3-2 win over the University Prep JV squad, sending a shot across the bows of ritzy private schools everywhere.

With the non-conference victory, the Wolves get to 4-3 on the season and finally get to think about heading home for a match.

CHS hosts Friday Harbor Wednesday in the third of their four Northwest 2B/1B League showdowns, the first time the Wolves have hosted a match since April 3.

Saturday’s results:

 

Varsity:

1st Singles — Tenley Stuurmans won 6-0, 6-0

It’s portrait season.

The sun was shining on the prairie Friday, Coupeville High School softball and baseball teams were in action, and Jackie Saia’s camera was busy.

The wanderin’ photographer snapped the pics you see above and below, and is nice enough to share them with the rest of Wolf Nation.

Light her up!!

“That was a clinic.”

Two solid high school softball squads clashed on the sun-drenched prairie Friday, but one ended up towering over the other.

Mashing 18 hits, including 10 in the first inning alone, high-flying Coupeville ran its visiting archrivals from South Whidbey off the diamond, emerging with a 17-1 win mercy-ruled after five innings.

With the non-conference victory, the Wolves get to 14-1 on the season, while the Falcons drop to 8-5.

That opening quote came from a South Whidbey supporter, as he paid tribute to the beat-down issued by the Smash Sisters, and it summed up the day.

Wolf hurler Adeline Maynes was flingin’ fire from the pitcher’s circle, whiffing nine and getting solid defensive work behind her from young infielders Allie Powers and Cami Van Dyke and sticky-gloved centerfielder Haylee Armstrong.

The web gem of the day, however?

That was a prime-time Maynes moment, as the sophomore pitcher charged out of the circle and went airborne to pluck a bunt out of the air, snagging the falling ball before it could touch infield dirt.

But while the pitching was on point and the defense often inspired, it was the offense which once again stole a great deal of the spotlight for Aaron Lucero’s squad.

Coupeville unleashed a tsunami of base knocks in the bottom of the first, with Sydney Van Dyke crushing a two-run double off the center field wall and Ava Lucero smoking a two-run single back up the middle.

That was just the start, with Armstrong and Cami Van Dyke connecting on RBI-rich hits before Teagan Calkins got epic.

Playing in the next-to-last home game of her storied career, the Wolf senior launched a screamer to left, then let her feet run wild as she crashed home with an inside-the-park two-run tater.

By the time the Falcons finally escaped from the frame, the damage had been done, with 14 batters coming to the plate, 12 of those reaching base, and the score sitting at 10-0.

Not that the Wolves were done, as Ava Lucero led off the bottom of the second with a home run of her own, this one clearing the fence in left and waving bye-bye as it headed off towards the Prairie Center parking lot.

Having herself a day to remember, the coach’s daughter struck one more time, whacking a three-run triple to right field in the third, capping a six-RBI performance.

Deep sac flies from Maynes and Calkins, and some nimble base-running on double steals padded out the lead as the Wolves rolled into the weekend having outscored their foes 244-33 this season.

 

Friday stats:

Zariyah Allen — Two singles
Haylee Armstrong — Two singles
Teagan Calkins — One home run, one walk
Ava Lucero — One single, one triple, one home run
Olivia Martin — One double, one walk
Adeline Maynes — Two singles
Chelsi Stevens — Two singles, one walk
Cami Van Dyke — One single, two triples
Sydney Van Dyke — One single, one double

Diamond rally falls a run short

Posted in Baseball, tagged , , , , on April 24, 2026| Leave a Comment »

Wolf first-baseman Riley Lawless smacked a pair of hits Friday in a rivalry game with South Whidbey. (Jackie Saia photo)

They didn’t get a hit until the fourth inning, and didn’t score until the sixth, yet almost pulled off the comeback win.

Unfortunately for the Coupeville High School baseball squad, a torrid finish couldn’t quite overcome a slow start Friday, as the Wolves fell 7-6 to visiting South Whidbey.

The non-conference loss, coming on a rare sunny spring afternoon on the prairie, drops CHS to 9-5 on the season while the upstart Falcons improve to 3-11.

Friday’s fracas was a pitcher’s duel for most of the day, with eight of the 13 runs not being scored until the final inning-and-a-half.

South Whidbey did put together a five-run rally in the top of the third, however, accounting for the only scores until the late going, and that was tough to overcome for the scrappy Wolves.

The big blows were a pair of two-run doubles from Levi Batchelor and Weston Dill, and they staked the Falcons to a lead they never relinquished.

Meanwhile, Coupeville put four runners aboard through the first three innings — all on walks — but came away empty-handed.

In the fourth, the Wolves got another walk, this one from Trent Thule, before Riley Lawless broke up the no-hitter. Once again, however, the runners were stranded far from home.

Steve Hilborn’s squad finally broke through in the bottom of the sixth, pushing three runs across to tighten things up.

Two runs came home on Falcon miscues, while Lawless smoked an RBI single to the left side of the infield to account for the other score.

South Whidbey proved resilient, tacking on two insurance runs in the top of the seventh to go up 7-3, then turned out to need both runs as the Wolves rallied hard in their final at-bats.

Chase Anderson led off the bottom of the seventh by getting drilled in the back, then stole second and third before scooting home on a Camden Glover RBI single.

An RBI groundout from Thule cut the deficit to 7-5 and a bases loaded walk to Killian Shaw made it a one-run game, but South Whidbey hurler Easton Niemi came out of the bullpen to end the game with a strikeout, allowing longtime Falcon coach Tom Fallon to exit with another win.

 

Friday stats:

Chase Anderson — One walk
Coop Cooper — One single
Camden Glover — Two singles, one walk
Carson Grove — One walk
Riley Lawless — Two singles, one walk
Aiden O’Neill — One single
Leo Rodriguez — Two walks
Killian Shaw — One walk
Malachi Somes — One single
Trent Thule — Three walks
