STANWOOD - Scott Knight and his Washington Wranglers baseball team are back in Cuba, the second time Knight has taken a team to the Caribbean nation this year.
Knight, the head baseball coach at Stanwood High School, will take the Wranglers, a team of high-school-aged players from throughout the state and three players from Phoenix, to play several games against Cuban teams in and around Havana. While there, the group will also visit a sports academy
for elite Cuban athletes, attend a Cuban major league baseball game and go sightseeing.
The team left yesterday from Vancouver, B.C., and will return Aug. 16.
Local members of the Wranglers include Josh Husby of Stanwood, Marko Oblak of O'Dea, Tony Vizzare of Franklin Pierce (Tacoma), Matt Toth of La Conner, Kellen Murphy of Sehome (Bellingham) and Zapper McGrath of Sehome. Coaches are Knight, Lem Elway of Anacortes and Stanwood graduate Nick Allen,
now an assistant coach at Sehome.
McGrath, a pitcher-infielder, is the only player making the Cuba trip for the second time.
