It’s a slow Sunday and you’re just looking for attention, aren’t you?
I believe in Billy.
And yes, I may be crucified for admitting that, but come on, some one has to win the 1A state football title.
If you’re a Coupeville fan, player or coach, wouldn’t you rather it be someone from the Cascade Conference, a team the Wolves faced head-on and played not that badly against? Wouldn’t you rather it be King’s?
And then I went deaf from people screaming NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, whether or not you can stomach rooting for King’s (and I’m not saying I’m actively rooting for them, I just appreciate the level they play the game at), Knights quarterback Billy Green was, by far, the best football player we saw this season.
Playing on a rainy night in Coupeville, he seemed to be moving in his own time and space against the Wolves. Time and again, a tackler would almost have him in their grasp, and then, off of one foot, Green would fling a wet ball 45 yards on a bead, dropping it into a two-inch by two-inch hole between his receiver and the Coupeville defensive back.
It was something to behold.
And yes, it was brutal and miserable all at the same time. Not for a moment did I want to see him shred Coupeville, but he did it to eight other teams this season as well. At the very least, his brutal assault on Archbishop Thomas Murphy (the real jerk of the Cascade Conference) so demoralized that program, they “assisted” their coach out the door after just four games.
Got to give Green kudos for that.
And now that he rallied King’s to a 28-13 victory over host Hoquiam (there’s a town you don’t want to stay in for very long) Saturday night, Green and his teammates will play Montesano in the state quarterfinals.
I’m not rooting. I’m just reporting. But, if you’re a true football fan, a small part of you has to admire what this guy is doing.
No?
Well, that’s why this site has a comments section. Cue the hate mail from my own fans … I’ll try to dodge like Green sidestepping would-be tacklers.
