They couldn’t derail the freight train.

The 11/12 little league all-star softball squad from Anacortes is an undefeated juggernaut, and it rolled to a district crown Tuesday as expected.

But that doesn’t mean the combined forces of Whidbey went down easily.

The Pirates, a squad comprised of players from North, Central and South Whidbey, may have lost 13-5, bringing an end to their season, but they came as close as any team has this year to upending Anacortes.

Whidbey was the only team Anacortes didn’t 10-run this year, and the sluggers from The Rock avoided that fate twice in less than a week.

Coupeville ace Scout Smith did as much as she could in the pitcher’s circle Tuesday, whiffing five.

Smith and fellow Wolves Marenna Rebischke-Smith and Thora Iverson all collected RBIs in the loss as Whidbey finished the district tourney with a 2-2 record.

Scout Smith will not fade away.

Whiffing eight and putting the fear of God in any hitter who dared to dig in against her, the Coupeville hurler sparked her Whidbey 11/12 Little League softball all-star squad to a huge win Monday.

The 10-6 win, coming against South Skagit, came in a loser-out game and guarantees Whidbey at least one more afternoon of softball.

The Pirates, who have a roster made up of girls from North, Central and South Whidbey, will play Anacortes in the district championship starting Tuesday night.

The game, played in Anacortes, is set for 6 PM.

A loss and Whidbey is done.

But win and the Pirates break up the undefeated season Anacortes is enjoying and force another game Wednesday.

Against Skagit, Whidbey built a 7-0 lead Monday, then held on for the win.

Along with Smith’s pitching heroics, Coral Caveness scored several crucial runs and Thora Iverson chipped in with a gorgeous snag while patrolling the outfield.

We are ... Whidbey!

We are … Whidbey!

They have next. After the next ones have next.

A pack of young Wolves are starring on the softball fields this summer, though they’re still a couple of years away from playing for Coupeville High School.

Working together with teammates from North and South Whidbey, the Central Whidbey sluggers are part of an all-Island Little League All-Star softball squad for players ages 11-12.

When they’re not posing for cameras, they’re busy with playoff action, with a loser-out game Monday night against South Skagit.

That’s a team they already thumped 18-3 Saturday in their playoff opener, before falling 9-5 to undefeated Anacortes Sunday.

Bounce Skagit again tonight, and Whidbey will advance to the championship and a rematch with Anacortes.

Whidbey would need to take two in a row from a team that had ten-runned every foe this season until Sunday, to win a district title.

But win or lose, that howl you hear?

It’s the sound of young Wolves coming up fast and strong, hungry to build on their success.

The future of Wolf softball played like champs.

As travelin’ photo man John Fisken clicked away, the Diamond Dusters, a Central Whidbey Little League majors softball squad sponsored by Bailey Dirt Works, pounded the North Whidbey Gold 12-9.

The squad, coached by Ian Somes (with help from Rusty Bailey, Adam Caveness and Ken Martin), has a varied roster.

Some players are in their first year, while a chunk played for last year’s 9-10 District All-Star champs, who were coached by Mimi Johnson.

Headlining the team are four veterans who will move up to the next level after this season — Scout Smith, Marenna Rebischke-Smith, Emma Mathusek and Emma Somes.

The future of Wolf hoops is a bright one.

At the high school level, the varsity girls’ squad went 15-7 and won a league title, while the JV went 14-5. Both teams were a flawless 9-0 in league play.

Meanwhile, the Coupeville Middle School teams, which will provide more weapons for the big leagues in the next year or two, are playing impressive ball of their own.

Roving photo man John Fisken was hanging around the gym Monday as the Wolves played their final home game of the season (they finish with three straight on the road) and snapped the pics above.
