No rest for the talented.

With the high school baseball season done, Coupeville High School senior Landon Roberts is staying busy on the diamond.

He made his debut with the Skagit Sox American Legion team Thursday, helping his new squad blank the Cascade Baseball Club 4-0 in the Cardinal Classic hosted by Skagit Valley College.

Back at home in Cow Town, mom Sherry Bonacci was manning her computer at the Coupeville School Board meeting where Landon was honored for being a Lion’s Club Student of the Quarter.

The lanky one was not there in person, however, as diamond duty was calling his name.

Roberts ripped a single in his first at-bat, then advanced a runner from second to third with a squibber to shortstop his next time up.

In the field, the Wolf ace, who graduates with the Class of 2025 in a few days, patrolled the outfield and came up with a gem.

Snagging a fly ball near the line, Roberts whipped a frozen rope to second to nail the brave, yet foolhardy runner, who wasn’t quite as fast as he thought he was.

They represented.

Coupeville High School landed three All-Conference honorees when Northwest 2B/1B League baseball coaches tabbed the best players of the spring.

Wolf senior Landon Roberts and junior Camden Glover were picked as First-Team All-League selections, with junior Coop Cooper earning Second-Team status.

The veteran trio were leaders on a very-young CHS hardball squad which went 6-13 overall, 5-7 in league play.

All three pitched for the Wolves, while also manning other positions when they weren’t on the mound.

Roberts and Glover both did stints at catcher for a program which only had 11 players this season, as well as playing in the infield.

When Cooper wasn’t chucking strikes, he was also an active infielder, with all three standing tall at the plate, providing an offensive spark for Steve Hilborn’s squad.

Glover led CHS with a .380 batting average, 18 RBI, and six doubles, while Roberts hit .356 with a team-high 21 base hits.

On the mound, Glover (66), Cooper (61), and Roberts (54) paced the Wolves in strikeouts, with Cooper leading the team in starts.

Camden Glover (17) and Coop Cooper helped anchor a CHS baseball team which was short on players this season.

They’re winners in and out of the classroom.

Three-sport Coupeville High School senior athletes Katie Marti and Landon Roberts have been selected as the final Lions Club Students of the Quarter for the 2024-2025 school year.

The duo will be honored May 21.

The Lions Club, which has awarded scholarships to CHS students for over 87 years, picks its top students each quarter, then selects two as the Students of the Year come graduation time.

All 12th grade students are eligible for the quarterly award, which is voted on by school staff.

Criteria include “community service, effort, character, social relationships, scholarship, and sportsmanship when applicable.”

Katie Marti, daughter of Christi Messner and Frank Marti, has played softball, track, volleyball, and basketball during her high school career.

She was the starting setter and a team captain for the CHS spikers as they earned a 4th place trophy at the 2B state tourney this past fall, the best finish in program history.

Marti, who has been named to multiple All-League teams for her athletic accomplishments, is also a member of the National Honor Society and Captains Club and a busy bee in the world of community service.

Some of her volunteer activities have included Lions Leo Club, beach cleanup activities, assisting with youth basketball clinics, Race the Reserve, Coupeville Water Festival, Coupeville Arts Festival, Lions Club Auction, and Mussel Fest.

A lover of science and math who carries a 3.7 GPA, Marti is a lifeguard and teaches swim lessons in the summer.

She plans to attend Western Washington University and major in marine biology.

Landon Roberts, son of Sherry Bonacci and Jon Roberts, has played baseball, basketball, and cross country for the Wolves, while being named a captain in all of his sports.

Like Marti, he’s in the National Honor Society and is always on the move.

Roberts operates a landscaping business, works part-time at Sunnyside Cemetery, and has been involved in the Lions Club garage sale, Race the Reserve, and the Booster Club’s annual fundraising dinner.

A mentor to young athletes, he also officiates youth sports.

Devoted to the arts of welding and woodworking, Roberts has a 3.6 GPA and plans to attend a technical college in Washington state.

While there, he wants to obtain certification and an AAS in welding and fabrication, while trying out for the baseball team.
