Computer overlords like Wolf hardball squad

Those machines run on 1’s and 0’s approve of our prairie hardball ways.

Evans Rankings, which has smiled favorably on several Coupeville High School sports teams during the 2022-2023 school year, likes the Wolf varsity baseball squad.

After feeding all the data into Newman — the resident computer possibly bent on world domination — noted number cruncher Matt Evans emerged from the basement Monday with the news CHS lands at #7 in 2B in his first rankings of the season.

The Wolves, who sit at 11-4 heading into a game at Concrete Tuesday, have five regular-season tilts left on the schedule.

After that, Coupeville heads off to the three-team District 1/2 tourney, where it will be the top seed in a single-elimination royal rumble with a state tourney berth at stake.

Play that sweet string music

Back to practice for them.

Just as the weather finally flirts with an actual springtime feel, the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis squad finds itself with a hole in the schedule.

The Wolves have a 10-day break between matches, not wielding rackets against another team until May 2, when they travel to Friday Harbor.

Filling the gap (slightly) is this collection of photos, which come to us courtesy Brionna Blouin and John Fisken.

Every second counts, every inch matters.

As we wind our way towards May, the number of regular season track and field meets dwindle, with the onset of the postseason just on the horizon.

Taking our weekly look at how Coupeville High School athletes stack up against other 2B stars, we have movement from last Monday.

A scan of the top 10 marks in each event show the Wolves going upwards four times, with sophomore Katie Marti jumping back into the elite in the javelin.

Aidan Wilson (400) and both 4 x 400 relay squads are also trending up after strong showings at the GearUp Eason Invitational, while CHS remains in the top 10 in 13 of the other 15 events it previously occupied.

And for those two guys (briefly) bumped from the list by newcomers — Nick Guay in the 200 and Tate Wyman in the 300 hurdles?

Both remain in the top 10 in other events, plus have a chance to compete again Saturday, April 29, when the Wolves attend the Sunny and 70’s Invitational in Lakewood.

 

Where CHS ranks in 2B as of April 24:

 

GIRLS:

100 — Monroe Myles (10th) 13.52

400 — Lyla Stuurmans (4th) 1:03.83

Fire up the busses

Other than the weather, CHS fans have had plenty to be happy about this spring.

Is the price of gas going to drop?

That’s the question on the mind of Coupeville High School Athletic Director Willie Smith, as Wolf spring sports teams hit the road for five of seven contests next week.

Girls’ tennis has the week off — from competition, if not practice — but baseball, softball, and track and field all will listen to the sound of the wheels on the bus goin’ round ‘n round.

Baseball and softball travel to Concrete Tuesday and Darrington Thursday, before closing out the week at home Saturday against La Conner.

That weekend doubleheader is Senior Night for the Wolf diamond players, with both games set to start at 1:00 PM.

Meanwhile, the CHS track team, or part of it at least, travels to Lakewood Saturday for the Sunny and 70 Invitational, the final meet before the postseason kicks off.

Based on “spring” weather so far, it’ll be cloudy, windy, wet and 45 degrees, no matter what the event is called.

As we head into a new week, a look at current standings for teams which keep track of wins and losses:

 

Northwest League baseball:

School League Overall
MV Christian 10-1 10-3
Coupeville 9-1 11-4
Friday Harbor 6-3 6-5
Orcas Island 5-6 8-6
Darrington 4-6 5-6
La Conner 1-9 2-11
Concrete 0-9 0-9

 

Northwest League girls tennis:

School League Overall
Coupeville 2-0 2-4
Friday Harbor 0-2 0-2

 

Northwest League softball:

School League Overall
Coupeville 7-1 10-5
Friday Harbor 6-1 9-4
Darrington 5-1 6-2
Orcas Island 3-5 3-9
La Conner 1-6 1-12
Concrete 0-8 0-10

Have bats, will mash

“Today we put the league on notice! We are keeping the crown!!”

Coupeville High School softball coach Kevin McGranahan was feeling good Saturday, and why not.

Having travelled to Orcas Island to face a decent Vikings squad, the Wolves opened a can of unholy whup ass on their hosts, blowing them out 22-0 in a game mercy-ruled after three innings.

Led by out-of-the-park home runs from Mia Farris and Haylee Armstrong, CHS solidified its hold on first place in the Northwest 2B/1B League, jumping to 7-1 in conference play.

Now 10-5 overall, the Wolves have won seven of their last eight games.

Saturday, Coupeville dominated in every aspect of the game.

Senior hurler Gwen Gustafson struck out nine, not allowing her defense to get a single out on its own.

The Vikings did scratch out one hit and two walks, but that paled in comparison to Coupeville ringing up 16 base knocks and seven free passes.

Two of the biggest blows came from the sweet-swinging Farris, who clobbered an RBI triple and a grand slam home run — all in the first inning.

CHS rolled out to a 9-0 lead after one frame, tossed three more runs on the board in the second, then emphatically ended things with a 10-run burst in the third.

Armstrong, an 8th grader playing like a seasoned pro, joined Farris in the long ball club, belting a two-run shot that was still climbing as it cleared the fence in left center.

Saturday stats:

Capri Anter — One walk
Haylee Armstrong — One home run
Taylor Brotemarkle — Two singles
Teagan Calkins — One single, one double, one walk
Mia Farris — One double, one triple, one home run
Gwen Gustafson — One single, one walk
Allie Lucero — One single, one double
Maya Lucero — One single, one double
Chloe Marzocca — One walk
Madison McMillan — Two singles, one walk
Melanie Navarro — One single
Sofia Peters — Two walks
