Scott Hilborn had a pretty sweet swan song.

The Coupeville High School senior led Wolf baseball to a 17-6 record, league and district titles, and the program’s first state tourney win since 1987.

Hilborn tossed a complete-game shutout in that big dance victory, blanking Toledo 3-0 and capping a stellar run of filling up the stat sheet.

When everything is totaled up, four Wolves appear in a top slot, with senior Jonathan Valenzuela #1 in RBI, walks, and on-base percentage, while being tied for the most triples.

That guy he’s tied with for the most three-baggers?

It’s Hilborn, who tops or is tied for the lead in a staggering 16 of 21 stat categories.

Though he’s not the only Wolf to post strong numbers while playing through rain, wind, and chilly temps for much of the “spring” season.

Jack Porter, ready to run free.

PS — Wondering why the pitching stats add up to 22 games, while Coupeville was 17-6?

One win came courtesy of a forfeit from Concrete, so no stats for that game.

Go East, young woman.

Coupeville High School senior Taygin Jump is New York-bound after graduation, and she signed a letter of intent Monday to compete in indoor and outdoor track and field at SUNY Plattsburgh.

Founded in 1889, the school is an NCAA D-III school.

Jump is the third member of this year’s CHS track team to sign with a college, with Tate Wyman headed to Oregon Tech and Mitchell Hall off to the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.

The young woman who currently has the third-best hammer throw among all 2B female athletes was a two-sport star for the Wolves, also playing club and school volleyball.

In the world of track and field, Jump vied in eight different events, running sprints and distance races, carrying the baton in relays, and throwing the discus, javelin, and hammer.

At SUNY Plattsburgh she’ll be a Cardinal, and the school mascot is known as Burghy.

The school has some notable alumni, but I’ll skip past disgraced congressman Anthony Weiner to land on my personal favorite on the list — lanky actor Tim Robbins.

He’s the star of films like The Shawshank Redemption, Bull Durham, and the Coen brothers unsung masterpiece, The Hudsucker Proxy.

Tate Wyman is running off to a different state.

The Coupeville High School senior signed a letter of intent Monday to compete in track and field at Oregon Tech.

He’s the third member of the current CHS oval squad to sign a college letter, with Taygin Jump (SUNY Plattsburgh) joining him at Monday’s ceremony.

Fellow Wolf senior Mitchell Hall previously signed to run cross country at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.

Before he competes as an NAIA athlete, Wyman has a few more days left as a Coupeville student, with a trip to the state championships on the agenda for this coming weekend.

He’s part of a 4 x 100 relay unit ranked #3 in the state among all 2B schools.

Wyman ran cross country all four years at CHS, and participated in track and field three seasons, with pandemic restrictions erasing spring sports his freshman year.

During his time as a Wolf, he competed in eight events, ranging from sprints to hurdles to relays to the occasional foray into the world of steeplechase.

At Oregon Tech, Wyman will find a school founded in 1947 to train and re-educate World War II vets.

The school’s athletic teams, which compete in the Cascade Collegiate Conference, are the Owls.

Or, sometimes, when they’re moving quickly, the Hustlin’ Owls.

“The students at Coupeville would be devastated.”

With proposed budget cuts swirling, one calls for the school’s athletic trainer position to be eliminated.

The potential loss of Jessica Caselden, a CHS grad who returned to her hometown to teach and work with athletes, is not being well received by Wolf athletes.

CHS softball players, past, present and future, have fired the first shots across the bow, sending a series of impassioned letters to the school board in support of Caselden.

The young athletes, who range from high school seniors to middle schoolers, speak glowingly of an eternally upbeat, whip-smart young woman who gives them a role model, a fervent supporter, and a reassuring voice of calmness when dealing with injuries.

Caselden, who haunted the aisles of Videoville growing up, hanging out with brother Jack and dad Willie, is part of a tight-knit group of former Wolf student/athletes who have returned to Coupeville in recent years.

Like Kassie (Lawson) O’Neil, Mandi (Murdy) Black, and others from that group, Jessica is first-rate in every way.

As a school, as a community, as Wolf Nation, we are immeasurably better with her being back in Cow Town.

I agree with our softball players, 1000%.

This is not the way.

Jessica Caselden needs to be retained.

Wolf senior Claire Mayne appears several times when you look at the top 10 performances for 2B track and field athletes. (Photo by JohnsPhotos.net)

One meet left, with one giant stage on which to shine.

Coupeville High School track and field athletes head to Yakima this week for the 2B state championships, which go down May 25-27.

Counting alternates for two relay squads, 22 Wolves will be on the bus as the wheels go round and round during the cross-state trek.

A number of those CHS track stars feature in our final look at the top 10 performances in 2B this season, while some do not.

While Coupeville had this past weekend off, other schools across the state wrapped up their own district, bi-district, and tri-district meets, and now the numbers are set in stone.

But again, as you scan the numbers below, a reminder that you can be in the top 10 and NOT go to state, while you can also be state-bound and NOT be on this list.

Track and field, forever tricky and full of intrigue.
