Epic meet, epic results

Logan Martin had himself quite a day.

The Coupeville High School senior won the discus and hammer throw Saturday, and narrowly missed out on adding a title in the shot put while competing at the 21-team Lil Norway Invitational at North Kitsap Stadium.

Sparked by Martin’s performance, the Wolf boys, repping one of the three smallest schools in the field, finished fifth in the team standings.

Lynden, a 2A powerhouse, took top honors in the boys battle, while tying with Central Kitsap for the girls team title.

Martin, who has already signed to compete for Central Washington University, more than held his own against throwers from big-school rivals.

The invitational featured schools from all six classifications, with 15 of 21 teams coming from 2A, 3A, or 4A.

Letting it fly, Martin claimed second in the shot put, tossed a season-best in the discus, and went ballistic in the hammer throw.

His throw of 163 feet, five inches is not only the best by a Washington state high school athlete this season — second-best is 108-01 — but is also the seventh-best in the entire nation.

It’s believed to be a school record, though there is currently no mark for the hammer throw listed on the record board in the CHS gym.

That’s likely because the event is only held a few times a year, and is not currently part of the state championships.

It is, however, an event which Martin plans to compete in full-time as a college athlete.

Logan Martin launches.

Martin and his Wolf teammates had been out of action for two weeks plus, with their last meet way back on Mar. 31.

Coupeville gets two meets next week, heading to Oak Harbor Apr. 20 and the Gear Up Eason Invitational in Snohomish Apr. 23.

CHS coaches Bob Martin and Elizabeth Bitting were thrilled with the high points Saturday — Martin’s two wins and 15 PR’s for the team — while taking special joy in how their squad held up against the big boys (and girls).

“For being a small school, our boys did excellent!!!,” Bitting said.

“They can run/throw/jump with the big schools and hold their own! Very proud of them all! What a day!

“The girls ran amazingly,” Bitting added. “Whether they competed in the rain, hail, wind, they gave it their all and always had a smile on their faces.

“They know how to find the joy in all they do. So proud of them all!!! Woot! Woot!! GO WOLVES!!!”

Another week in the books.

As we pass the midpoint of April, Coupeville High School spring sports teams continue to excel.

Wolf softball and girls tennis teams are on target for conference titles, while baseball is just a game out of first place in the Northwest 2B/1B League.

Meanwhile, CHS track and field athletes continue to throw down top times and distances while hanging out around the oval.

The week ahead gives everyone but the netters a chance to clash with rivals, with softball leading the pack with three contests.

The Wolf sluggers carry a nine-game winning streak into action, with three non-conference tilts against bigger schools.

Coupeville hosts 1A Meridan Wednesday, Apr. 20, travels to 3A Oak Harbor two days later, then caps things Apr. 23 with a home game against 2A Lakewood.

Wolf baseball hosts Concrete for a doubleheader Apr. 19, before travelling to Mount Vernon Christian Apr. 22.

Finally, CHS track is in action on the road, first in Oak Harbor Apr. 20, then at the Eason Invitational in Snohomish Apr. 23.

As the Wolves get ready for an eventful week, a look at NWL standings through games of Apr. 16:

Playing in the regular season finale Saturday in Danville, Kentucky, Coupeville grad Sarah Wright put together another strong performance on the softball diamond.

The Sewanee: University of the South junior collected three hits, including a double, and two RBI as the Tigers split a doubleheader with Centre College.

The biggest of the two RBI came in the opener, where it proved to be the game-winner.

Trailing 3-0 heading to the top of the seventh and final inning, Sewanee rallied for four runs to pull off the stunner.

Freshman pinch hitter Kaila Seger drilled a three-run home run to right-center to tie things up, before Wright lofted a long sac fly to plate the go-ahead run.

Sewanee, which finishes the regular season at 7-24, now advances to the double-elimination Southern Athletic Association Tournament.

The Tigers are expected to begin play Apr. 21, but the opponent and site have yet to be revealed.

Wright, who finally got to play a full college season in her third go-round, after the pandemic trimmed down her first two seasons, is one of just three Tigers to have started all 31 games this season.

She leads Sewanee in at-bats (95) and is tied for first in runs (15) and home runs (2).

Wright has 23 hits — including four doubles — 16 RBI, three walks, and a tidy .607 OPS.

American assassin blitzes British ballers

She set the nets on fire.

Coupeville grad Makana Stone knocked down a game-high 21 points Saturday, spurring the Leicester Riders to a key victory.

Romping past the Cardiff Met Archers 88-58, Leicester claimed its third victory in its last four games and clinched fourth place in the 13-team Women’s British Basketball League.

With two regular season games left on the schedule, the Riders are 14-8 in league action, 18-10 overall.

Saturday’s victory was a nice bounce-back for Leicester, which less than 24 hours earlier had racked up a season-low in points in a loss to the high-flying Sevenoaks Suns.

Picking Cardiff Met apart, Stone and Co. jumped out to a 24-18 lead after one quarter of play, and never relinquished the advantage.

Up 45-28 at the half, the Riders pushed the lead out to 63-42 heading into the fourth quarter, then tossed in another 25 points over the final 10 minutes just to put an exclamation point on things.

Stone, one of the few Leicester players to consistently score against Sevenoaks, snatched seven rebounds Saturday to go with her 21-point explosion.

Brooklyn Mcalear-Fanus added 15 points, while Oceana Hamilton and Alison Lewis each went for 14, as the Riders shared the ball all day.

As she nears the end of her first season of pro hoops, Stone has tallied 253 points, 170 rebounds, 36 assists, 24 steals, and three blocks.

Leicester caps the regular season with a rematch against Sevenoaks Apr. 22, before a bout with Manchester Met two days later.

They’re savages! Savages, I say!!

They are vengeance unleashed.

Even when they try and pull back the reigns a bit and try not to unnecessarily embarrass opponents, it’s hard for the Coupeville High School softball team to be anything less than dominant.

Case in point, Friday’s doubleheader at La Conner, where the Wolves, playing everyone in a uniform — varsity and JV — still romped to 23-0 and 23-1 wins over the outmatched Braves.

The sweep gives Coupeville nine straight wins and lifts it to 5-0 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 10-1 overall.

As they roll towards a second consecutive undefeated NWL championship, the Wolves get a chance to punch upwards all of next week.

Coupeville faces 1A Meridian, 3A Oak Harbor, and 2A Lakewood in non-conference tilts, a challenge Kevin McGranahan’s squad craves.

Coupeville is 4-1 this season against schools from larger classifications, with its only loss coming to 1A royalty Lynden Christian.

 

Game #1:

Mixing varsity and JV players, Coupeville pounded out a season-high 29 hits a day after dinging Sultan for 27 base-knocks.

With senior pitching ace Izzy Wells surrendering just a pair of singles, and whiffing 12 Braves, the Wolves were just as brutally efficient on the other side of the ball.

The game might have seemed close for a hot moment, as Coupeville led just 1-0 exiting the first inning, but then its big-game sluggers unleashed their bats.

Six runs in the top of the second stretched the lead out, with four more coming in the third and another three in the fourth inning.

The Wolves wrapped things up by pushing nine more tallies across the plate in the fifth, then shuffled their roster dramatically for the nightcap.

Mckenna Somes had a five-hit performance in game one of a doubleheader.

 

Game #2:

This time out, twin hurlers Allie and Maya Lucero combined to chuck a four-inning no-hitter, with nine of 12 outs coming via punch-outs.

With many of their regular starters sitting the finale out, the Wolves still cracked 13 hits, giving them a 42-2 advantage on the afternoon.

Freshman Savina Wells, who rested in the opener, returned to the starting lineup and promptly walloped a home run, while CHS also piled up a staggering 18 walks.

Wolf 8th grader Teagan Calkins earned four of those free passes, with Alondra Cruz and Madison McMillan eking out three walks apiece.

Up 7-1 after one inning, Coupeville dropped nine runs on the board in the second, then coasted in with four and three-run rallies in the remaining frames.

 

Friday stats:

Edie Bittner — 2 walks
Taylor Brotemarkle — 1 single, 1 double, 2 walks
Teagan Calkins — 4 walks
Camryn Clark — 1 walk
Alondra Cruz — 3 walks
Mia Farris — 3 singles, 1 double, 1 triple
Gwen Gustafson — 1 single, 1 walk
Jada Heaton — 1 single
Violette Huegerich — 1 single
Lily Leedy — 1 single
Allie Lucero — 1 single, 1 walk
Maya Lucero — 3 singles, 1 walk
Katie Marti — 2 singles, 1 walk
Chloe Marzocca — 1 single, 2 walks
Madison McMillan — 1 double, 3 walks
Melanie Navarro — 2 singles, 1 double, 1 walk
Maya Nottingham — 2 singles, 1 double
Sofia Peters — 1 double
Audrianna Shaw — 1 single, 1 double, 2 triples
Mckenna Somes — 4 singles, 1 double
Izzy Wells — 4 singles, 1 triple, 1 walk
Savina Wells — 1 single, 1 home run

Wolf coach Aaron Lucero gazes in wonder as the Wolves decimate all challengers.
