Coupeville softball wins spot in state By Jim Waller Staff Reporter
The Coupeville High School softball team enacted a little revenge to complete its improbable journey to the state tournament. The Wolves defeated Blaine 7-4 Saturday, May 24, at Sedro-Woolley’s Janiki Playfields to grab the fifth and final seed out of the tri-district playoffs and to qualify for the state 1A tournament in Richland May 30 and 31. This will be only the second trip to state for a Coupeville softball team. The Wolves finished third in 2002, losing in the semifinals to eventual champion Adna. Coupeville (8-18) will open state against Warden (18-2) at 10 a.m. Friday in the 16team, double-elimination tournament. The Wolves play opposite Okanogan (21-3) and Hoquiam (17-5) in the bracket. The winner of Coupeville/Wraden meets the Okanogan/Hoquiam winner at 4 p.m. Friday. The losers face off at 2 p.m.The final step to state this spring was through Blaine, which had walloped the Wolves 20-4 just a week earlier in the district tournament. This time around, Coupeville built a 6-0 lead against the Borderittes and survived a late Blaine rally and some controversy to secure the state slot. Coupeville entered the postseason with a 4-15 record; not a mark usually associated with state-tournament types. The record, however, was misleading. Fourteen of the losses came to 2A schools, and when the Wolves faced same-sized 1A foes during the regular season, they posted a 3-1 record. Coupeville went 2-2 against the powerful Northwest Conference schools in the district tournament, finishing fourth and earning a spot in tri-district. They opened tri-district with a 12-6 drubbing of Eatonville in a loser-out game, then fell to Lynden Christian 8-0. That set up the showdown with Blaine for a state berth. Coupeville stunned the Borderittes with a five-run second inning. Two walks, singles by Tiffany Briscoe and Madi Roberts and a three-run double by Hailey Hammer highlighted the inning. Briscoe was hit by a pitch in the fourth and scored on a single by Hammer. Roberts singled and scored the Wolves’ final run on McKayla Bailey’s base hit in

An estimated two thousand people attended Coupeville’s annual Memorial Day Parade Saturday. More than 50 entrants, including Gifts from the Heart food bank (below), participated in the parade, which included clubs and organizations as well as political candidates, all showing their patriotism.
Streets overflow with patriotism By Megan Hansen Editor
Patriotism was overflowing onto the streets of Coupeville Saturday as the community gathered for the annual Memorial Day Parade and celebration. Starting on South Main Street, decorated cars and floats filled the streets. People walked the parade route waving American Flags, tossing candy and honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. The parade, led by grand marshal Beth Kuchynka, flowed down Main Street onto Front and Alexander streets before ending on Coveland at Coupeville Town Park. An estimated two thousand people filled the streets to watch. Flags were handed out along Front Street. Navy Band Northwest performed along the parade route and played at the entrance to the park as the rest of the community flowed in for further celebration. “I think it went really well,” said Lynda Eccles, executive director of the Coupeville Chamber of Commerce. “There were a lot of people.” “Having the Navy Band Northwest really added to the traditional parade feel. With the backdrop of Coupeville it had that traditional Americana feeling. “It had a festive, happy feeling. It’s just
amazing.” While the parade offered entertainment and fun for the community, the remembrance ceremony held a more serious and subdued tone. Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard acted as emcee for the event, highlighting the town’s participation in the community event and the importance of the day. This year’s Memorial Day celebration was particularly special to her, she said, because she recently returned from a trip to France with her husband. She said they were able to walk the beaches of Normandy and visit key locations in history. Capt. Darryl L. Walker, Commander, Electronic Attack Wing, U.S. Pacific Fleet, represented Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in the celebration, speaking on behalf of Capt. Mike Nortier.
