A small group of student scientists at Coupeville High School are busy seeing how they measure up with their contemporaries across the region.
The Oak Harbor High School bowling team won its third consecutive state title and made history along the way at the 48th Annual Washington State Bowling Proprietors’ Association State High School Varsity Bowling Championships at Acme Bowl in Tukwila Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 16 and 17.
As in most high-school state competitions, Oak Harbor’s trip to the Washington 3A wrestling championships included smiles and tears, but those grins were a little wider this time around.
Looking to wrap up its third consecutive Washington State Bowling Proprietors’ Association State High School Championship, Oak Harbor held a slim lead after the first round Saturday, Feb. 16, at Acme Bowl in Tukwila.
A seventh-place finish in the 200-yard medley relay was the top performance for the Oak Harbor High School swim team at the state championship meet at the King Country Aquatic Center in Federal Way Saturday, Feb. 16.
For Oak Harbor High School senior Joshua Crebbin, it was almost a storybook ending.
Crebbin was ranked seventh entering the 3A state wrestling tournament, then knocked off the first- and third-ranked 160-pound wrestlers on the way to finishing second.
Leaving a series of higher-ranked wrestlers in their wakes, Oak Harbor High School’s Joshua Crebbin and Courtney Shavers bulled their way into the semifinals at the state 3A wrestling championships, Mat Classic XXV, Friday at the Tacoma Dome.
Oak Harbor’s Josh Jepsen and the Wildcats’ medley relay team both qualified for the top final heat after finishing among the leading eight in the preliminaries at the state swim meet at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way Friday.
Following suit with Oak Harbor, Island County has set its sights on doing away with its own decades-old section of code concerning the public possession of firearms in parks.
That was one of a series of proposed revisions to the park’s code reviewed by the commissioners last week.
It was like rubbing salt into the wound. It was adding insult to injury. Pick your cliche for discomfort beyond the expected pain…not only did both Coupeville High School basketball teams get eliminated from the district tournament last week, but they were ousted at rival South Whidbey High School in emotional, spirited contests.
Three individuals, and possibly a fourth, and three relay teams qualified for state for Oak Harbor as the Wildcats finished third at the 11-team district swim meet at Marysville-Pilchuck High School Saturday, Feb. 9.
Sixth-ranked Mountlake Terrace, considered by most as the best boys basketball team in Wesco 3A, raced by Oak Harbor 64-32 in a district semifinal game at Everett’s Jackson High School Saturday, Feb. 9.
It’s never fun to lose, but some loses sting more than others.
Such was the case for the Coupeville High School girls basketball team as it fell 43-36 at South Whidbey Wednesday, Feb. 6, in the consolation bracket of the 1A District 1 tournament.
