Another season in the books.

The Coupeville High School baseball program put an official stamp on things Friday night with an awards banquet, doling out honors after a very-successful campaign.

The Wolf varsity went 11-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 13-7 overall, claiming a conference title and just barely missing out on a trip to state.

Meanwhile, Coupeville’s JV racked up three wins and a tie, as a roster which included several 8th graders showed great promise.

CHS track stars ready to rumble

Dominic Coffman soars above the bar.

20 athletes in 24 events.

Coupeville High School track and field will be coming in hot this week, having qualified a large chunk of its roster for the District 1/4 championships.

The final event before the state meet, the royal rumble goes down Friday, May 20 at W.F. West High School in Chehalis.

Four of those Wolves — Ja’Kenya Hoskins, Caleb Meyer, Dominic Coffman, and Aidan Wilson — are set to compete in the maximum four events.

Coupeville boys need a top-five finish at bi-districts to punch their ticket to the big dance, while girls move on with a top-seven finish.

The difference is because girls events at the state meet will each have 16 competitors, while boys events will only have 12.

The reason?

There are 50 schools actively competing in 2B girls track, while just 49 boys teams meet the necessary criteria.

And that’s enough for the hard asses at the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association to cling to draconian rules, while ignoring the fact this is the first state meet in three years thanks to the pandemic.

Coupeville’s lineup for Bi-Districts:

GIRLS:

200 — Ja’Kenya Hoskins

400 — Lyla Stuurmans

1600 — Ayden Wyman

3200 — Cristina McGrath

4 x 100 Relay — Ava Mitten, Claire Mayne, Carolyn Lhamon, Hoskins

4 x 200 Relay — Wyman, Stuurmans, Ryanne Knoblich, Hoskins

Shot Put — Lhamon; Reese Wilkinson

Discus — Lhamon; Wilkinson

High Jump — Knoblich; Mercedes Kalwies-Anderson

Long Jump — Knoblich; Hoskins

Triple Jump — McGrath

BOYS:

100 — Caleb Meyer; Dominic Coffman

200 — Meyer

400 — Meyer; Aidan Wilson

800 — A. Wilson

1600 — Mitchell Hall; Carson Field

3200 — Cameron Epp

4 x 100 Relay — Meyer, Reiley Araceley, A. Wilson, Coffman

Shot Put — Logan Martin

Discus — Martin

Javelin — Hall

High Jump — Coffman; Nick Guay; Cael Wilson

Long Jump — Coffman

Take a road trip to support sluggers!

Time for a convoy!

Coupeville High School softball finally gets to return to action this Saturday, May 21, breaking an 18-day layoff for a winner-to-state, loser-out contest.

The game, which pits the Wolves (16-2, Northwest 2B/1B League champs, rulers of District 1) against a team from District 4, is set for 6 PM at Fort Borst Park in Centralia.

The 12-team D4 tourney runs May 16-21, with the top four teams advancing to the 12-team 2B state tourney.

Then, Coupeville, despite being a league champ, gets to come in cold and face the #5 team from D4, which will be playing its third game that day.

It’s all because Washington Interscholastic Activities Association officials — ignoring the fact there haven’t been state tournaments since 2019 thanks to the pandemic — are being pedantic.

WIAA rules state 50 schools need to play a sport in a classification to have a normal 16-team state tourney.

End up with 49 active programs, as 2B softball currently does, and you get a 12-team championship event.

Which also takes away District 1’s automatic berth to the big dance, forcing the long layoff, the long bus ride, and a game against an opponent who will be a mystery until an hour or two before first pitch.

Izzy Wells unleashes The Knee-Buckler.

While they haven’t played a game which counts since May 3, the Wolves have continued to practice and scrimmage, and plot their revenge.

CHS coach Kevin McGranahan is calling on Wolf Nation to come out in support of his team, even in a foreign locale.

“Hopefully we can get some fans to travel down to Centralia and show the world how Coupeville does it right,” he said.

“We are facing a tough test, but I am sure this team will give everything they have and leave it all on the field. When the dust settles my money is on the WOLVES!”

Tickets:

Adults and students without ASB — $7.00
Students with ASB and senior citizens (62+) — $5.00
Children (Under 6) — Free

Fort Borst Park:

2030 Borst Ave
Centralia, WA 98531

The third-fastest 4 x 1 relay team in 2B is comprised of (l to r) Reiley Araceley, Aidan Wilson, Caleb Meyer, and Dominic Coffman.

The meets get bigger, the battle gets more intense.

Saturday marked the district championships for Coupeville High School track and field, leaving just bi-districts and state still ahead.

The Wolves responded with a strong showing at their home stadium and made a few more inroads on the top 10 performance list for 2B athletes.

Aidan Wilson cracked the code in both the 400 and triple jump, while the CHS boys 4 x 100 relay unit also moves up a slot in the rankings this week.

With two meets to go, 12 Wolves have at least a share of a top 10 time, distance, or height, led by Logan Martin, Caleb Meyer, and Wilson, who appear three times apiece.

400 — Lyla Stuurmans (8th) 1:04.73
