“The Red Dragon” is already in mid-season form.
While high school softball doesn’t kick off for a week or so, Coupeville senior Teagan Calkins was busy beatin’ the heck out of opposing pitchers this weekend with her travel ball club.
Powered by their all-star catcher, Elevate NW 18U swept to a 6-0 record at the Meadowdale Opener, capturing the title in the 16/18 Gold classification.
Calkins and Co. kicked off the two-day tourney Saturday by going 3-0 in pool play, before sweeping through the championship bracket Sunday to claim top honors.
Elevate beat previously undefeated teams in the semifinals and final, proving that there can truly only be one.
Along the way, Calkins was a two-way warrior, popping up from behind the plate to throw out runners trying to advance on her, while also swinging a mighty bat.
The Central Whidbey prairie powerhouse mashed three two-run doubles Saturday, accounting for six RBI, then came back around to collect another three hits and two RBI in bracket play.
