The Mayne(s) star on Instagram.

Adeline Maynes is a buzzsaw in every season.

The Coupeville High School junior, who has been a pitching ace for the Wolves since she was an 8th grader, is currently playing travel softball with NW United.

And up to her usual batter-baffling shenanigans, as shown by this Instagram post hailing her for chucking a no-hitter during a tourney this past weekend.

With Maynes flinging the high hard cheese to help lead the way, NW United roared to a title, adding to her hardware.

Welcome to title town.

Her bat is still locked and loaded.

Coupeville grad Teagan Calkins, now a freshman at the University of Colorado Boulder, returned to the softball diamond for fall ball and promptly filled up the stat sheet.

The former Wolf played in 10 games, hitting .483 while collecting 14 hits, including four doubles and two triples for a Buffaloes squad which went 7-3 across September and October.

Colorado won its final six games, including a three-game sweep of Colorado Mesa Saturday in the fall ball finale.

Calkins, a three-sport supernova in her Cow Town days, also racked up nine RBI, eight runs, and five walks — two by being plunked — with a .559 on base percentage, a .759 slugging percentage, and a 1.317 OPS.

She and her new teammates return to the field in March, when they kick off the regular season with a series against the Air Force Academy.

Madison McMillan still loves dingers

Elton John thought Saturday night was alright for fighting, but Madison McMillan knows it’s alright for socking softballs.

The Coupeville grad, now a sophomore at Edmonds College, is currently playing fall ball for the Tritons diamond squad.

Saturday that meant going yard on Centralia College, one of four pink-clad sluggers to whack a dinger.

After the power explosion was done, the Triton mad mashers posed for a pic which landed on the team’s Instagram page, always a good place for wandering writers to poach from.

McMillan, a member of the Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame for her exploits in Cow Town, was an accomplished volleyball, basketball, and softball player for the Wolves.

Back then, she was known to belt softballs in the direction of Prairie Center’s parking lot.

Now?

Different town, different uniform, still the same hard-hitting sensation.

The Wolves (and Wolverines) were on the prowl in Canada.

Coupeville High School junior Chelsi Stevens spent the weekend in Abbotsford along with her Whatcom Wolverines travel softball squad, competing in the Outlaws Fall Classic.

The only American team in play, Whatcom finished fourth in the 19U division, with their Whidbey import snagging MVP honors in one of the games after crunching a ball to the fence in deepest, darkest center field.

The green, green grasses of October softball.

Stevens was a busy bee, playing first base and outfield and moving around in the lineup, including being her team’s leadoff hitter at times.

Plus, along with her time on the field, the CHS student got to enjoy a taste of the Great White North, with ketchup chips, poutine, and Timbits donut holes from Tim Hortons on the menu.

Stevens prepares to thump the softball to kingdom come.

Softball is a year-round sport, and so is the art of “liberating” photos to share with the world.

The pics above and below feature current and former Wolves who are out there chasing diamond dreams this fall, whether it be at the college level or on high school travel ball squads.

Coupeville grads Madison McMillan (Edmonds College) and Teagan Calkins (University of Colorado Boulder) are playing at the next level.

Meanwhile current Wolves Adeline Maynes, Chelsi Stevens, Capri Anter, and smash sisters Sydney and Cami Van Dyke are playing with select teams, making the commitment to travel off Island in between classes in Cow Town.

All are swinging big bats and continuing to spread the news that Coupeville is a softball hotbed.
