The Reed and Lindsey Show rolls on.

Coupeville Middle School seventh graders Reed Richards and Lindsey Roberts continued their torrid track seasons Wednesday, winning events at Day 1 of the Cascade Conference Championships in Shoreline.

Richards went nuclear, dropping 11 seconds off of her personal record to out-duel Mary Carbajal of Sultan and win the finals of the 800 by nearly a second. Third place was a whopping 17 seconds off of Richards‘ pace.

Roberts claimed first in the prelims for the 75 meter hurdles, also setting a PR.

The two-day event wraps up Monday, June 2.

Day 1 was a mix of finals in some throwing and jumping events and a handful of distance races, while the sprints were prelims. Day 2 will include the relays and the remainder of the finals for all events.

Although pitcher Hunter Smith only allowed a few hits Thursday, the Sedro-Woolley squad was able to exact revenge on the Oak Harbor Babe Ruth team, squeaking out a one-run victory on its home turf.

The game was very close all the way through.

In the second inning, the ‘Cats brought walked batter James Besaw home with a sac bunt by Thomas Anderson and an RBI single from Joey Lippo.

Improved pitching from the Sedro squad stranded Anderson and Lippo.

Smith sat the Sedro batters down in the second and the ‘Cats came back to the plate and managed to generate two more runs on a combination of passed balls and trickery.

On a walk to Cory Roberts, Mackenzie Nuanez (who occupied third) took a huge step towards home while Roberts rounded first at full speed.

On the ensuing toss to second base, Nuanez ran home. Both runners safe.

That would be the end of the scoring for the ‘Cats, and the Sedro squad posted two more in the fifth, making the score 4-3, and that is how the game ended as both pitchers put on a strikeout clinic in the closing innings.

Only 10 hits were spread across both teams in the pitcher’s duel, with Smith (who was robbed, again, of a base hit by a diving Sedro Wolley shortstop) pitching a complete game allowing only six hits.

“We had some mental errors on the base paths and the lack of hitting didn’t help, either,” said Oak Harboe manager Pete Richter. “Something to work on next practice.”

They beat the rain by a day.

The wet stuff is falling all over the place Friday, but Thursday it was clear skies for the Coupeville Middle School track and field squad as they traveled down the Island to tangle with arch-rival Langley.

While we don’t have results to post yet (we’ll have to see if Langley coaches pull a Northshore and fail to report anything to athletic.net or step up and makes the whole Island proud), we do have photos.

They come courtesy of John Fisken, and, if you like them, head over to the link below to see more (and possibly purchase some). A percentage of all sales goes to fund college scholarships for CHS student athletes.

P.S. — I don’t know all the middle school students by sight, so some photos have names. Others don’t.

With a January wind blowing in from right field like a freezing typhoon, the Oak Harbor Babe Ruth squad welcomed Sedro-Woolley to town.

Sedro came ready to play, as they were present and accounted for fully an hour and a half before game time.

Josh Margraff started on the mound, and ran into some issues early on, but his fielders kept the ‘Cats in the game, allowing no runs through two innings.

In the third, Coach Trisler changed it up, putting Coupeville eighth graders Joey Lippo and Hunter Smith in at shortstop and catcher, respectively, and installing Chris Trisler on the mound.

Although this is supposed to be a Coupeville sports blog, it was Oak Harbor pitcher Trisler who really stole the show.

Nearly everyone in the lineup got hits, including doubles from Lippo (who is now off the schneid), Gabe Eck, and Kamren Mebane (who advanced to third on an error).

Others were unlucky at the plate, with Smith smacking two really good hits only to be robbed by Sedro outfielders in ESPN Top Ten fashion.

While Oak Harbor steadily racked up the runs, Trisler was just as steadily sitting Sedro batters down, striking out nearly every batter he faced.

Those that made contact were quickly thrown out by the infield of Caleb Fitzgerald, James Besaw and Thomas Anderson.

Likewise, some balls made it to the outfield to be soaked up by Andrew Eaton, Eck and Mebane.

In the bottom of the fifth, with the score 8-0, Mebane, Anderson and Lippo all reached base to load them up for Trisler.

After that it was time to break out the rye bread and mustard as Trisler launched a walk off grand slam over the center field fence, ending the game in five.

She’s one tough young woman.

Coupeville Middle School 8th grader Katrina McGranahan is a rapidly rising sports star on the Central Whidbey scene, and nowhere has her name sounded louder than on the softball field.

Equipped with a booming bat and a fireball-tossin’ arm, her arrival to the high school team next year will be greeted with enthusiastic cheers.

Along with her considerable skill set she will bring a battle-hardened spirit, as evidenced by the war wounds she’s currently sporting.

After taking a line drive to the face while pitching for the Skagit Valley Thunder, she tried to head right back into the game, only to have her coaches tell her “no, ma’am.”

Like all the smartest softball pitchers, she was wearing a protective face mask (it’s actually the mask that slashed her lip) and avoided a probable broken nose and/or black eyes.

In typical McGranahan fashion, she was back on the field the next day, however, helping to lead her squad to a second-place finish in their tournament.

Her smile? Never left her face once.
