Their bats bashed a merry tune.

Coupeville High School softball sluggers ripped the hide off the ball this spring, as seen in the pics above and below.

A hit-happy crew from the top of the order to the bottom of the lineup, the Wolves kept the scoreboard jumpin’ and the cameras clickin’.

Melanie Navarro loves the longball.

But she’s also pretty dang good at playing small ball.

“Safety is our biggest concern.”

New Coupeville High School head football coach Bennett Richter has been around the game most of his life, both as a player and mentor.

But as he moves up from defensive coordinator to the head of the Wolf program, he realizes there are parents and guardians who are unsure about letting their students suit up for the gridiron squad.

So, Richter and his assistant coaches are putting on a Football 101 clinic to give the community a better feel for the game they love, and the safeguards put into place in modern practice sessions.

The free event, which also features lunch, runs from 10 AM to noon Saturday, June 4.

Things will start at the health room inside the Coupeville High School gym (first thing on your left as you enter the front door), then out on the nearby football practice field.

Richter is hoping for a strong turnout, and a chance to make his case.

“We would like to reach as many people as possible,” he said. “And show them what we are doing to make the game of football as safe as possible for their children.

“Our hope is that we can really provide information to parents on the fence of letting their kids play, in hopes to continue to grow our program to a competitive level.”

Sometimes a photo is just a photo.

There’s no deep significance in the group of pics seen above and below — they’re merely a collection of behind-the-scenes images from recent track and field meets.

In other words, a gentle, two-minute coast through your Tuesday, requiring little reading and a little light gazing.

You’re welcome.
