Don’t get used to them wearing purple and gold.

Coupeville diamond men Chase Anderson and Landon Roberts suited up for Oak Harbor’s U15 baseball squad this weekend, but it was a temporary move, not a permanent one.

Both Wolves will be back in red and black when school starts, but, for a game or two, they played as Wildcats.

Oak Harbor was visiting Ellensburg for a hardball tourney and had a couple of open spots on its roster.

Needing something to fill their early July days, Anderson and Roberts agreed to be mercenaries for the Wildcats.

With help from the Wolf duo, Oak Harbor claimed a pair of ten-run mercy-rule wins, before losing a close one 4-0 and tying 8-8 in its finale, victim of the tourney’s two-hour limit on games.

Roberts held down first base and left field for the Wildcats, with Anderson pulling time at shortstop and on the mound.

The sophomore-to-be went the distance on the bump in game two, shutting down his foes across six innings to earn the win.

Brendan Coleman has reached the end of one trail.

The Coupeville High School grad wrapped up his run as a college rodeo star in late April, competing in team roping at the semi-regional meet in Hermiston, Oregon.

Coleman, a senior at Central Washington University, finished 5th, narrowly missing a chance to advance to regionals.

Coming on the heels of a 3rd place finish at his final home meet in Ellensburg a week earlier, the performances helped him finish ranked in the top 12 in the Northwest region.

That covers Washington state, Oregon and western Idaho.

During his time at CWU, Coleman was a team roper for all four years, first as a heeler, then this year as a header.

He was team treasurer the last two years and has been active in the Ellensburg ranching community, helping with weekend brandings and competing in jackpot ropings.

Coleman, who was a member of the 2010 Central Whidbey Little League juniors baseball team which won a state title, graduates in June with a degree in construction management.
