Basketball begins again.

Well, in a week it does.

Next Monday, Nov. 9, Coupeville Middle School boys’ hoops hotshots get a head start on everyone with their first day of practice.

CMS girls start Feb. 1, after the boys are done, while the high school squads kick off practice Nov. 16.

The CMS boys, who are coached by Bob Martin (8th) and Randy King (7th), are set to kick off game play the last day of November, with a 10-game schedule.

The Wolves will be home on Mondays this season (action tips off at 3:15) and hit the road Thursdays, with two games each against five opponents.

When the girls take over in February they’ll flip the schedule, with road games on Mondays and home games Thursday.

I would tell you to laminate the schedules, but, if the past is any kind of reliable indication, it might be better to write the dates down with a pencil and keep a big eraser handy.

Randy King with the upset!

The longtime Coupeville High School/Middle School coach picked up a new sport at the last second this year, taking over the CMS 8th grade volleyball squad a match into the season when coach Sadi Foltz abruptly left to take a new job.

Jump forward to Monday night, and, after a long road trip to the town former CHS football coach Ron Bagby (well … and “Twilight“) built, King and his spikers emerged with a stunning upset.

The Wolves knocked off undefeated Forks 29-27, 25-20 for the win of the season.

The score is all the info we have at the moment (and nothing on the 7th grade squad), so let’s toss out a bunch of photos to fill the rest of your time.

All the little sisters are ready to impress!!

Chelsea

Maya

Prescott will join grizzled vets like 8th grader Maya Toomey-Stout.

There are some new spikers in town.

High school volleyball has already been going for a bit, but Coupeville Middle School officially kicks off a new season Thursday, when the Wolves play host to Chimacum at 3:30 PM.

CMS has 26 players on its roster currently, with an almost perfect mix of eighth graders and seventh graders.

Among the names to watch, returning stars like Scout Smith, Zoe Trujillo and Maya Toomey-Stout.

And, while I don’t have much of a feel for what the Wolf seventh graders have to offer yet, two names pop out.

Genna Wright is the final child from a family of top-drawer athletes, following in the footsteps of older siblings Aaron and Sarah, while Chelsea Prescott has already made a name for herself as a little league baseball pitcher.

The rosters, as they stand now:

8th grade:

Ashleigh Battaglia
Luci Coleburn
Hannah Davidson
Natalie Hollrigel
Emma Mathusek
Jillian Mayne
Cassidy Moody
Lucy Sandahl
Scout Smith
Maya Toomey-Stout
Zoe Trujillo
Raven Vick
Willow Vick
Melia Welling

7th grade:

Megan Behan
Kylie Chemikoff
Alexis Czarnik
Emily Fieldler
Ivy Leedy
Catherine Lhamon
Jaimee Masters
Lacy McCraw-Shirron
Morgan Pease
Chelsea Prescott
Savannah Smith
Genna Wright

Too early? Never!!

Two months from now, they’ll be getting ready to play games again.

School doesn’t start until Aug. 31, and Coupeville Middle School doesn’t kick off its football and volleyball seasons until late Sept., but it’s never too early to run schedules.

I mean, what else are we going to do with our time here in mid-July?

So, here you go, something to look forward to, then.

And, an interesting side note — any affiliation with the 1A/2A Cascade Conference is truly gone.

Last year, CHS moved into the 1A Olympic League, but CMS continued to play games against schools such as King’s and Langley.

No more, as this year’s schedules are awash in Port Townsend and Chimacum, with Forks, Sequim and a newcomer, Stevens (from Port Angeles) tossed into the mix.

New year, new rivalries.

CMS fall sports schedules, as they sit on July 19:

FOOTBALL:

Wed-Sept. 23 Stevens
Wed-Sept. 30 Port Townsend
Wed-Oct. 7 @ Chimacum
Wed-Oct. 14 Sequim
Wed-Oct. 21 @ Forks
Wed-Oct. 28 @ Port Townsend

VOLLEYBALL:

Mon-Sept. 21 Chimacum
Thur-Sept. 24 @ Stevens
Mon-Sept. 28 Forks
Thur-Oct. 1 Sequim
Mon-Oct. 5 @ Port Townsend
Thur-Oct. 8 @ Chimacum
Mon-Oct. 12 Stevens
Thur-Oct. 15 @ Forks
Mon-Oct. 19 @ Sequim
Thur-Oct. 22 Port Townsend

Summer ball? A smashing success!!

A taste of what Central Whidbey Little League offered this summer.

A taste of what Central Whidbey Little League offered this summer.

The future is alive and well and swinging a big bat.

Baseballs and softballs were pounded all across the prairie this summer, as Central Whidbey Little League put together another successful season.

At the tippy top, the 9/10 softball squad, which repeated as District 11 champs and returned to the state tournament for the second straight season under the tutelage of coaches Mimi Johnson, Katy Wells and Lark Gustafson.

Also of note was CMS 7th grader-to-be Chelsea Prescott (the centerpiece of the photo collage above) who was the only girl to play Majors baseball.

She flung heat from the mound, and, based on what I’ve seen of her swinging in video footage, she hits with just as much, if not more, ferocity.

From players about to hit high school — like softball thumpers Veronica Crownover and Sarah Wright — to kids playing t-ball for the first time, CWLL was awash in talent.

Cow Town is building from the ground up, and the future is a bright one.

To all the coaches, parents and volunteers who make our local little league hum along so well, job well done.
