They’ve reached a new level.
The Coupeville High School softball team, rolling towards the postseason with a 13-4 record and one game left to play, was honored Tuesday by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association.
The Wolves were tabbed as the 2B Team of the Month for April, joining Dayton baseball (1B), Overlake girls’ tennis (1A), Lakewood softball (2A), Cascade boys’ soccer (3A), and Jackson softball (4A).
“This team has earned every bit of it and have bought into the program completely,” said Coupeville coach Kevin McGranahan.
“We have had some tough seasons since 2020 and we coaches have stayed the course and the girls have risen to the challenge. A little motivation going into the postseason!!”
Coupeville, which starts three 8th graders, two freshmen, one sophomore, and four juniors (with no seniors on the roster) are 9-0 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, earning their third conference crown in the last four seasons.
The Wolves wrap the regular season Friday with a non-league tilt at home against South Whidbey, then head to districts May 18, where they’ll play for a ticket to state.
McGranahan’s squad was honored by the WIAA for being strong, both on and off the field.
The sluggers hit .385 as a team, while racking up a team GPA of 3.453.
Along with their play on the diamond, and their work in the classroom, the Wolves were noted for their community involvement.
The team raised $1,300+ for the WhidbeyHealth cancer department with a “Strike Out Cancer” day, while also extensively working as mentors with Central Whidbey Little League players.
