“I must destroy you.”
Alex Schmakeit is a philosopher.
The Coupeville High School sophomore is also a winner, having helped spark the Wolf JV football team to a 27-14 thrashing of Bellevue Christian Monday — the first win by any CHS squad in the 2012-2013 school year.
But, about that philosophy and deep thoughts. After the game, in which Schmakeit was a holy terror, crushing his foes with a resounding 18 tackles (“They kept running my gap, so I juked their tackle and filled the hole and there he (the ball carrier) was.”) Schmakeit posted the following to Facebook: “For ages, packs of wolves terrorized vikings. We have repeated history, boys!!”
For a school that was unable to field a JV team for much of last season, due to a lack of warm bodies, it was an especially sweet win and one that could herald the start of something even bigger.
“Nice to see a win,” said Coupeville varsity coach Tony Maggio. “More to come soon, trust me.”
