We’re sweeping out the archives.

The pics seen above and below have two things in common.

One, they feature Coupeville athletes or athletic supporters.

And two, they’re some of the last photos sent my way by John Fisken before he took his Diet Coke and went home, ambling off to semi-retirement.

So, with no games today as we wait for district playoff action to kick into full gear starting Thursday, now is a perfect time to slap ’em on the page and let ’em marinate.

“I’m just saying, it feels like we’re being watched…”

Ember Light fires off a serve.

Megan Richter and her junior associate catch a softball game on a sunny day.

The hunt for missing softballs is a never-ending one.

Paul Messner has his eye(s) on you.

Kickin’ up a dust storm on the way to softball glory.

It’s all gravy from here on out.

Regular season play is over for spring sports teams, with those squads left standing busy with postseason work now.

For Coupeville, three of four teams are still alive.

While baseball failed to make the playoffs, both Wolf softball and girls’ tennis are off to their district tourneys Thursday, May 15, to play for berths at the state championships.

The sluggers go to Mount Vernon, while the netters travel to Seattle for those events.

Two days after that, the CHS track team hosts the district meet, the last stop before its own hoped-for trip to state.

With everyone knee-deep in the playoffs, this also marks our final league standings story for the 2024-2025 school year.

Build the present, build the future.

Softball success is booming on the prairie, and a big part of that is the older girl’s willingness to work with their younger counterparts.

Current Coupeville High School players, who are flying high with a 17-1 record this spring, took time Wednesday to mentor the sluggers who will follow in their footsteps.

The Central Whidbey Little League Minors team — 14 players and four coaches — trekked over to the CHS fields, where they worked with the Wolves on a typically breezy “spring” day in Coupeville.

“The varsity players did a fantastic job running the show,” said CHS coach Aaron Lucero.

“Windy and cold, but nobody complained.

“Bethany Hopkins and her (CWLL) coaches have done a great job instilling passion for the game in their team.”

They closed this chapter with joy and tears and a big win.

Capping a 17-1 run through the regular season with a Senior Night victory over Granite Falls Tuesday, the Coupeville High School softball squad has set itself up for more success.

The Wolves sit one win from advancing to the state tourney, something a good chunk of these same players also did in the fall as volleyball spikers.

Tuesday’s farewell to the prairie highlighted a group of five CHS seniors who have been playing together on the diamond since they were first old enough to pick up a glove and bat.

They have left their mark, one hit and one win at a time.

Onward and upward.

After two weeks at #9, the Coupeville High School softball squad has jumped to #7 in the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association RPI rankings.

The Wolves, who sit at 17-1 after beating 1A Granite Falls Tuesday on Senior Night, are one of only two 2B teams to have just a single loss this season.

Having wrapped the regular season, Coupeville returns to action May 15 with an appearance at the District 1 tourney in Mount Vernon, where it will play for a trip to the state tourney.
