Now, things get serious.

Spring Break is done (and the rain is back, at least for a bit) and most Coupeville High School spring sports teams start wading into league play full-force starting this week and next.

So, it’s an ideal time to scan the standings and see how the Wolves are standing at the moment.

Spoiler: They’re sitting pretty good. Pretty, pretty, pretty good.

Now, I’m only running standings for three (baseball, softball, soccer) of the five CHS teams, since trying to decipher the track and tennis standings are pointless.

Ignore the Olympic League web site, which is riddled with errors for both sports.

In the real world, the Wolf netters are 1-2 with two matches — a 3-1 lead over Granite Falls and a 3-3 tie with Klahowya — still hanging open, waiting to be finished.

And the track squad?

Somehow the Olympic League web masters have the Wolf boys at 0-2, despite the fact they WON a four-team meet at South Whidbey.

Which would account for THREE wins.

Anyways…

Semi-solid standings, with 1A Olympic League records followed by overall records:

SOFTBALL:

Coupeville 1-0, 6-1
Chimacum 0-0, 4-2
Klahowya 0-0, 5-3
Port Townsend 0-1, 0-4

BASEBALL:

Coupeville 1-0, 4-6
Chimacum 0-0, 2-4
Klahowya 0-0, 6-2
Port Townsend 0-1, 0-6

BOYS SOCCER:

Coupeville 0-0, 2-4-1
Chimacum 0-0, 1-4-0
Klahowya 0-0, 5-1-1
Port Townsend 0-0, 2-2-1

Don’t hurt ’em, Hammer!

Too late.

In a college softball game Sunday that featured a match-up between former Coupeville High School teammates, Hailey Hammer had the last laugh.

Now a freshman at Everett Community College, Hammer went yard in the top of the seventh, blasting a fences-clearing solo shot to lift her squad to a 1-0 win against host Shoreline CC.

On the other side of the field, her former Wolf running mate, Madeline Roberts, now a sophomore for the Dolphins.

Both teams are now 4-2 in Northwest Athletic Conference play, putting them in a second-place tie behind Bellevue (5-1).

Everett is 9-9 overall, while Shoreline is 8-6.

Hammer’s long ball, her first as a college player, caught her a bit by surprise.

“Right over center field, it barely felt like I hit it far!,” she said with a laugh.

Thursdays belong to the future.

Having scrambled at the last second to put together its own juniors softball squad, Central Whidbey Little League will kick off a 16-game schedule this coming week, with their home games played at Coupeville High School’s field.

Central Whidbey will play Anacortes, North Whidbey and South Whidbey in the four-team league, with home games on seven of the next eight Thursdays.

The team consists primarily of eighth graders from Coupeville Middle School, such as Scout Smith and Maya Toomey-Stout, with a few seventh graders like Mollie Bailey and Chelsea Prescott sprinkled across the roster.

Led by head coach Charlotte Young and assistant Connie Lippo, the squad will revive the Venom name.

Current high school stars like Katrina McGranahan, Sarah Wright and Lauren Rose went undefeated and earned a trip to state while wearing that name on their uniforms two years ago under Kevin McGranahan.

Last year, with most of that squad moving up to CHS, the few scattered remaining players had to travel to other towns to play.

Now the Venom is back and ready to attack again.

The schedule (all games start at 6 PM):

Tues-Apr. 12 @ South Whidbey
Thur-Apr. 14 North Whidbey
Tues-Apr. 19 @ Anacortes
Thur-Apr. 21 Anacortes
Tues-Apr. 26 @ North Whidbey
Thur-Apr. 28 South Whidbey
Tues-May 3 North Whidbey
Thur-May 5 @ South Whidbey
Tues-May 10 @ Anacortes
Thur-May 12 Anacortes
Tues-May 17 @ North Whidbey
Thur-May 19 South Whidbey
Tues-May 24 @ South Whidbey
Thur-May 26 North Whidbey
Tues-May 31 @ Anacortes
Thur-June 2 Anacortes

The WIAA likes Katrina McGranahan.

A lot.

The Coupeville High School sophomore softball slugger, who earlier in the spring was selected as an Athlete of the Week by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, has now nabbed a second honor.

McGranahan was picked, along with Kelso baseball player Isaac Kjose, to be featured on the WIAA website under its monthly Student Spotlight section.

The stories appear under the group’s Activities Matter! banner.

It’s almost over.

Thursday is the third consecutive day with no live sports in Wolf Nation, as Spring Break continues to unfold in all its laid-back charm.

Once we hit Friday, however, we’re back at it, at least for a moment.

Coupeville High School baseball hits the road to La Conner, while Wolf boys’ soccer travels to Puyallup to face Cascade Christian.

Until then, we offer up a smorgasbord of spring sports pics, drawing on all five CHS teams and fans alike, to remind you what they would all look like if they were in action.
