Hunter Smith swung a big bat Tuesday.

Pounding a three-run triple, then coming around to score when the ensuing throw went wild, the Coupeville Middle School baseball star sparked his Oak Harbor Babe Ruth squad to an 8-2 win in their district playoff opener.

Powered by Smith and CMS schoolmates Joey Lippo and Gabe Eck, the ‘Cats had little trouble polishing off Burlington.

Now comes the big challenge, as Oak Harbor advances to play top-seeded Friday Harbor Wednesday.

Win the “Battle of the Harbors” and Ferndale awaits on Thursday.

Against Burlington, the ‘Cats benefited from Smith’s huge swing and from a stellar start on the mound from Chris Trisler.

Lippo cracked Oak Harbor’s first hit, one of two he collected in the game, while Eck snared several key catches in right.

Sparked by strong defensive play from its Coupeville contingent, the Oak Harbor Babe Ruth baseball squad rolled to its sixth straight win Thursday.

The Wildcats earned a sweep in their two-game series against Anacortes, bouncing their foes 7-3.

James Besaw and Andre Eaton combined on the mound for the win and greatly benefited from the slick glove work shown behind them.

Oak Harbor turned two double plays — the first going from Thomas Anderson to Wolf Joey Lippo to Kamren Mebane, while the second was kicked off by Wolf shortstop Hunter Smith snagging a line drive.

Josh Margraff capped the web gems by pulling off a spectacular sliding catch in right field to close the fifth.

Besaw, who was making his first start, went the first two innings, then turned the ball over to Eaton. Coupeville’s Jake Pease caught both of them, anchoring the team from behind the plate.

The Wolf cheer squad, which included Robin Cedillo

  Cheer drew in 51 girls over two seasons, including Robin Cedillo, who would also go on to play softball for the Wolves.

Soccer was the most popular sport at Coupeville High School during the 2013-2014 school year.

At least in terms of how many students played the sport, and, if we don’t consider cheer a sport — which school officials don’t.

If cheer was given a little more respect, the 51 girls who participated over the course of the fall and winter seasons would top the list.

But, since cheer is considered an activity, soccer, with 50 players (30 boys, 20 girls), rules the roost.

The numbers for the eight sports CHS offers:

Soccer (50) — 30 boys, 20 girls
Tennis (45) — 29 boys, 16 girls
Basketball (44) — 21 boys, 23 girls
Track (40) — 22 boys, 18 girls
Football (39)
Volleyball (21)
Baseball (19)
Softball (13)

Coupeville also had one golfer, junior Christine Fields, who finished 5th at the 1A state tourney. CHS doesn’t offer golf, but Fields trains and travels with South Whidbey while competing as a Wolf.

At the middle school level, Coupeville offers four sports, with hoops drawing the most participants.

CMS sports numbers:

Basketball (45) — 23 boys, 22 girls
Track (42) — 24 boys, 18 girls
Volleyball (33)
Football (15) — 14 boys, 1 girl

Among non-sports activities, drama was one of the biggest draws.

CHS:

Cheer (51)
National Honor Society (43) — 18 boys, 25 girls
Drama (38) — 10 boys, 28 girls
Science Olympiad (14) — 11 boys, 3 girls
ASB Executive Board (8) — 3 boys, 5 girls
History Day (4) — 3 boys, 1 girl
Jazz Band (3) — 3 boys

CMS:

Drama (65) — 18 boys, 47 girls
Natural Helpers (33) — 13 boys, 20 girls
History Day (6) — 2 boys, 4 girls
Jazz Band (5) — 4 boys, 1 girl

"I told you NOT TO RUN!!!"

“I told you NOT TO RUN!!!”

They are coming, and they are kickin’ fanny on the way.

The next two years will see a serious influx of talent to the Coupeville High School softball team, as the current 7th and 8th graders make the jump to the big school.

Names like Katrina McGranahan, Sarah Wright and Lauren Rose will likely become familiar ones for Wolf fans. That trio, along with their current teammates in the Central Whidbey Little League fastpitch program, are destroying rivals at an impressive rate.

The pics above, courtesy travelin’ photo man John Fisken, are a taste of what’s to come.
