Cash? They don’t want your stinkin’ cash!

The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association frowns upon your legal tender, your dollar bills and coins, opting instead to force fans to go online to purchase tickets for the state baseball playoffs.

That’s because of a deal the WIAA has with GoFan.

That’s something for Coupeville diamond fans to keep in mind as they trek down to Castle Rock High School this Saturday.

Want to watch the Wolves play Toledo at noon, then see the victor return to the field at 3:00 PM to face off with Toutle Lake for a spot in next week’s state semifinals?

Then buy your tickets online or be tasered by Big Brother’s enforcers at the entrance gate.

Probably.

 

To purchase said tickets, good for both games, pop over to:

Two in one season, three for the school year.

Coupeville High School earned academic state titles in girls’ tennis and boys’ track and field Monday, as the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association announced honorees for spring sports.

That follows on the heels of Wolf girls’ cross country also topping all 2B schools back in the fall.

Coupeville’s netters, coached by Ken Stange, posted a 3.872 GPA for the season, with 10 players on the squad.

Meanwhile, the school’s 29 male track stars combined to finish with a team GPA of 3.714, with head coach Bob Martin making sure classroom success has matched the triumphs in the arena.

“They’re having themselves quite a season,” Martin said.

“These athletes just continue to amaze us,” added CHS girls’ track coach Elizabeth Bitting.

The Wolf tennis crew won a share of the Northwest 2B/1B League title on the courts this spring and is sending six players on to the bi-district tourney this Friday, where they will play for state tourney berths.

Coupeville’s male track stars won league and bi-district titles and have 12 athletes headed to Yakima May 25-27 for the state meet.

They’re being honored, all 74 of them.

Coupeville High School track and field athletes have been tabbed by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association as one of its Team of the Month winners for April.

Each month the WIAA, with the sponsorship of Les Schwab Tire Centers, honors teams, either from athletics or activities, in each of the state’s classifications.

CHS track reps 2B, while fellow Northwest 2B/1B League school Mount Vernon Christian was hailed for its 1B baseball program.

Royal softball (1A), Archbishop Thomas Murphy boys’ golf (2A), Liberty (Issaquah) softball (3A) and Tahoma baseball (4A) round out the April honorees.

The selections are based on “performance, dedication in the classroom, and service to the community.”

Teams receive a trophy and a $100 donation to their program.

CHS excels on field, in classroom

Posted in awards, tagged , , , , on April 8, 2023| Leave a Comment »

We’re still in the thick of things.

With two of three seasons complete during the 2022-2023 school year, Coupeville High School remains firmly wedged into the top five in the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association Scholastic Cup rankings.

With spring sports left to play out, CHS is tied with Napavine, just off of Asotin.

Saint George’s, Okanogan, and Liberty round out the top three.

The Scholastic Cup honors prep athletes for classroom performance as well as sports prowess.

Points are awarded for those who advance to the state championships, such as Wolf football and cross country, with academic success a major component of the process.

Coupeville’s biggest bonanza so far is the 100 points its girls’ cross country squad netted for being state academic champs.

Schools also receive points for sportsmanship and can be dinged for ejections.

One school in each classification, from 4A-1B, will receive the Scholastic Cup after the completion of spring sports.

Week 29 belongs to Whidbey Island.

Softball stars who play to the South and North of Coupeville were named Thursday to the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association Athlete of the Week list.

South Whidbey senior Morgan Batchelor and Oak Harbor sophomore Haylee Burleigh were among those selected as athletes from 4A-1B were honored.

Batchelor was hailed for her work on the diamond against Concrete Mar. 29, where she hit for the cycle and tossed a no-hitter, whiffing seven Lions.

Burleigh drew notice for her work at shortstop over a three-game span, as she was flawless in the field.

A two-way star like Batchelor, the Wildcat also pounded out four hits, including a triple, and stole four bases.
