The bats and gloves are put away for now, but the memories will live on.
Coupeville High School softball enjoyed one of the best seasons in program history this spring, going 20-3 and splitting four games at state.
The Wolves eliminated big-timers Colfax and Raymond-South Bend at the tourney, playing until a moment or two before midnight on the first of two days in Yakima.
While the players and their support crew are back at home in Coupeville now, Wolf Nation is still abuzz.
The following letter comes to us from Sean Anter, owner of Front Street Grill, and Grandpa to sophomore sensation Capri Anter:
As I sat back in the bleachers during the final state game of 2025, I am thinking about the season that brought them here.
Quite honestly, it wasn’t even the wins and losses. It was the relationships and bonds these girls have with each other.
I really haven’t seen anything like it.
How much they root for each other. How much they show up and play for each other. Share in each other’s successes and failures.
How much they simply just love each other.
I really only know Taylor (Brotemarkle) personally, as she works with me at Front Street Grill, as well as Capri, who is my granddaughter.
But even the emotion of Senior Night got to this guy.
I felt the love they all have for one another in such a profound way.
Watching these girls all season through state I couldn’t be more proud of them.
The hearts these girls have for the game and for each other was absolutely amazing to witness.
Even though the end was not what they hoped for, they have come away with something way more longer lasting.
They won the hearts of each other, family, friends, and the Coupeville community.
Go Wolves!
