Coupeville softball’s magnificent seven seniors.
Exit as winners.
They still have a couple of road games left to play, but the seven seniors on the Coupeville High School softball squad made sure their final home games went as planned.
The Wolves stomped visiting Darrington twice Saturday, improving to 9-0 on the season and clinching the Northwest 2B/1B League title.
But before they hefted their bats and gloves, Coupeville’s 12th graders were honored by coaches, friends, family, and fans.
John Fisken swung by to nab some pics, and we present those photos with an excerpt from each player’s farewell note.
Heidi Meyers:
I am incredibly thankful that I have been provided with such a wonderful team.
We may look like a team to others, but we’re a family.

Ivy Leedy:
For me, softball is about having fun and loving the sport every time I’m on the field. It’s like I’m home.
I’m sad that this is my last season with you guys, but just know that in my heart we are all sisters and I’m gonna miss playing with you.

Coral Caveness:
To me, softball is the place I come to get away from life.
Softball has been my outlet for going on 13 years and to miss my junior season completely and have my senior season with many restrictions, it is sad, but I am grateful to be ending it with such a great group of girls.

Chelsea Prescott:
Ever since I kept crashing my older brother’s T-Ball games, I’ve always loved the game of softball/baseball.
I’ve had so many amazing seasons, teammates, and coaches, and I would like to thank every one of them because they all have helped me become the player I am today.

Elisa Caroppo:
I want to thank all my teammates for making me feel welcomed as a new player and for always cheering me on.
Softball is a sport that I didn’t know and their support made me feel encouraged and confident to continue.

Lacy McCraw-Shirron:
For me, what it means to play, is simply that is the heart and soul of my life, my entire world, playing this sports makes me feel so inexplicably happy and free.
It gives me so much joy. I have made wonderful friendships, from such amazing teammates. That’s what makes this game my life.

Mollie Bailey:
I also want to thank Chelsea. We’ve been doing this together since T-Ball and I don’t know if I would’ve had nearly as much fun without you.
It’ll be incredibly weird next year to not be out here on the field with you, not to see you pick up every worm you find, and not to watch you throw tiny rocks or sunflower seeds at people as much as you can before they notice.
Thank you for always having my back, I’m really going to miss you next year.
