Wolf coaches and athletes came out in support of their college-bound teammate.

Mitchell Hall will be a Fightin’ Engineer.

The Coupeville High School senior signed a letter of intent Thursday to run cross country next fall for the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.

The NCAA D-III school, located in Terra Haute, Indiana, is a member of the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference.

Rose-Hulman kicks off a new cross country season with a home meet Sept. 1 on the LaVern Gibson Championship Course.

Hall signed his letter of intent a day after he and his CHS track and field teammates celebrated Senior Night.

He entered the week ranked in the Top 10 in two events among all 2B athletes.

Hall is currently the 5th fastest male runner in the 1600 and is part of a 4 x 400 Wolf relay squad ranked #9 in its classification.

A four-year cross country runner for CHS, he advanced to the state championships as both a junior and senior.

In addition, Hall won the boys individual title at the Northwest 2B/1B League meet in his final go-round.

At Rose-Hulman, the speedy Wolf will join a program which claimed the league title in 2022 and boasted 32 runners on its roster last fall.

The Fightin’ Engineers rep rose and white colors, with Rosie the Elephant holding the spotlight as school mascot.

RHIT was started in 1874 and boasts a curriculum focusing “on both career preparation and undergraduate-driven research in STEM-fields.”

Founder Chauncey Rose launched the school “to provide technical training after encountering difficulties in local engineer availability during construction of his railroads.”

Noted alumni include Barzilla W. Clark, the former Governor of Idaho, Art Nehf, who pitched 15 seasons in Major League Baseball, and Abe Silverstein, who was “responsible for the conception, design, and construction of America’s first supersonic propulsion wind tunnels.”

They could fill up a stadium.

Coupeville High School track and field honored 26 seniors Wednesday — 13 girls and 13 boys.

Photo-wise we did pretty well, with pics of 24 of 26 being sent my way.

So, a quick shoutout to Mercedes Kalwies-Anderson and Jermiah Copeland, who are not pictured, but were also part of what is likely the biggest group of seniors to ever come through a Wolf sports program.

JV sluggers build for future

They’re learning under fire.

A fairly inexperienced Coupeville High School JV baseball squad shows signs of growth every time it takes the field, though that hasn’t translated to a win yet.

The young Wolves put 10 runners aboard Wednesday but were undone by 12 strikeouts in a 10-1 loss at South Whidbey.

With the non-conference defeat to its 1A neighbors, 2B Coupeville falls to 0-3-1 on the season, with all of its losses coming to larger schools.

The Wolf JV, which tied Darrington in a game called after six innings due to darkness last time out, has four games left on its schedule.

First up is a bout on Orcas Island this Saturday.

Facing off with South Whidbey, the Wolves hung tough, with four different pitchers recording two strikeouts apiece.

Landon Roberts, Jack Porter, Chase Anderson, and Aiden O’Neill each took a turn on the bump, with the game staying close until the host Falcons erupted for five runs in the bottom of the sixth inning.

CHS had runners on base in six of seven innings, scoring their lone tally in the top of the fifth.

The Wolves best turn at the plate came a frame earlier, when Skylar Sand and Matthew Gilbert singled, while Myca Clarkson walked.

The game featured the stars of tomorrow, with both teams carrying an 8th grader on their roster.

Coupeville’s Jack Farrell eked out a walk, while South Whidbey’s Levi Batchelor ripped a base hit.

Wolf coach Jon Roberts juggled his roster, getting game time for 14 players, with Parker Fuller-Hewitt, Marcelo Gebhard, Jaje Drake, Johnny Porter, Aidyn McDermott, and Ethan Gill joining the previously noted players.

 

Wednesday stats:

Chase Anderson — One single
Myca Clarkson — Two walks
Jack Farrell — One walk
Marcelo Gebhard — Two walks
Matthew Gilbert — One single
Johnny Porter — One single
Landon Roberts — One walk
Skylar Sand — One single

Falcons rally late, edge Wolves

Missed it … by that much.

The Coupeville High School varsity baseball squad stranded too many runners Wednesday in Langley, leaving host South Whidbey a chance to rally late for a 4-2 win.

The non-conference loss snaps a five-game winning streak for the Wolves, who tumble to 9-4 on the season.

With the victory, the Falcons even their mark at 7-7 and earn a split in the season series, after Coupeville clobbered them 13-2 in the season opener.

This time around the Wolves had plenty of chances to blow the game open, but left runners aboard in each of the first five innings.

Trailing 2-0 heading into the bottom of the fifth inning, South Whidbey finally broke through thanks to Coupeville’s lone error and a two-out RBI double from Tyson Henry.

With Falcon hurlers retiring the final nine Wolf hitters, the hosts capitalized on their chances in the sixth, pushing three runners across to claim the lead for the first time.

Three walks jammed the basepaths, with a Josh Sterba sac fly knotting things up at 2-2.

Coupeville was an out away from escaping, but Grady Davis delivered the game-buster, launching a two-out, two-run double to center to knife the Wolves.

The game opened as a pitcher’s duel, with CHS hurler Coop Cooper carrying a shutout through the first four innings.

The freshman flinger whiffed six Falcons and didn’t surrender a hit until the third, but his own team struggled to provide run support.

The Wolves stranded four runners through the first three frames, before finally breaking through to score in the top of the fourth.

Starting with the bases loaded and no outs after a Camden Glover double, a Peyton Caveness single, and Cooper being plunked by a pitch, things were looking explosive.

But while CHS did score twice, forcing in a run when Aiden O’Neill was hit by another pitch, and netting another tally off of a Scott Hilborn smash to third base, the Wolves offense sputtered out after that.

Other than a Jack Porter walk to open the fifth, Coupeville came up empty across the final three innings.

While the Wolves outhit the Falcons 4-3, South Whidbey walked 10 times to Coupeville’s five free passes.

The CHS hardball squad gets an immediate chance to fix that, as it plays its third game in as many days Thursday, when it hosts Mount Vernon Christian.

That game pits the top two teams in the Northwest 2B/1B League, with MVC sitting at 9-0 in conference action, and Coupeville right behind them at 7-1.

First pitch is 4:00 PM at Robert Sherman Field.

 

Wednesday stats:

Peyton Caveness — Two singles
Coop Cooper — One walk
Camden Glover — One double
Scott Hilborn — One single
Aiden O’Neill — One walk
Jack Porter — Two walks
Cole White — One walk
