Keep it local.

That’s what area softball players and their parents would like to do.

While a group of Coupeville sluggers have been traveling off-Island to play for a select softball squad, the goal is to build a U16 team right here on Whidbey in time for the 2016 season.

The team, which would be open to players from North, Central and South Whidbey (unite to pound on the mainlanders!), would feature athletes who are 16 or younger as of Dec. 31 of this year.

If interested, contact Justine McGranahan for tryout information.

The softball guru (and master score-book keeper) can be called or texted at (360) 720-8436 or emailed at whidbeylegends@yahoo.com.

P.S. — If there was a Whidbey-based squad, it would be easy for media outlets such as this one to cover home games in person.

Hence, more publicity for players who might be hoping to garner attention from colleges. And more stories for me.

Win-win, ladies. Let’s get this thing done.
