They are right there, on the cusp.

Coupeville’s 5th grade SWISH girls’ basketball squad (with two 6th graders joining the cause) went 3-2 at a weekend tourney in Bellingham, claiming second-place overall.

It’s the fifth time this season a Wolf girls team has played for a title, but Coupeville has yet to win one.

“Close … so close,” said Dustin Van Velkinburgh. “Very proud of their effort. Good things on the horizon for these young ladies.”

Coupeville went 2-1 on Saturday, losing just a narrow two-point game to Lynden, then knocked off Nooksack in the opening game Sunday on a late three-ball.

The Wolf stars of the future include Kylie Van Velkinburgh, Izzy Wells, Savina Wells, Gwen Gustafson, Alita Blouin, Maddy Georges, Dakota Thomas, Nariah Johnson, Lilah Stuurmans and Caroline Lhamon.

"We're going to Disneyland!!! Oh wait, we got two more games to play? Fine..."

“We’re going to Disneyland!!! Oh wait, we got two more games to play? Fine…”

They came. They saw. They kicked some fanny.

Whidbey Island’s U12 select softball squad, which brings together players from Coupeville, Oak Harbor and South Whidbey, hit the road Saturday and earned its first win of the season.

Playing in Tacoma, the Tsunami whacked Port Angeles 16-11, erupting for seven runs in the fourth inning to blow things open.

All ten players to see action scored for the Whidbey squad.

The Tsunami, now 1-2 on the season, returns to action with two more games Sunday before heading home.

They are coached by Coupeville’s Mimi Johnson and South Whidbey’s Trevor Jones.

Flowers and basketball players were blooming.

Several packs of Coupeville Wolf hoops stars spent part of the weekend playing in Skagit Valley’s 23rd annual Tulip Basketball Tournament
