Coupeville Sports

Uriel Liquidano

As spring football practice kicks into high gear, we’ll be taking a look at a variety of players from Coupeville High School, with an emphasis on younger players and rising stars.

The Liquidano family business is sports, and business is good.

Older brother Oscar was a three-sport stud (football, basketball, soccer) as a sophomore for the Wolves in 2012-2013.

Now younger brother Uriel, also known as Woody, who will be a freshman in the fall, is following in the footsteps of Big O.

A solid contributor at the eighth grade level in all of his sports, where he had to replace soccer with track since the middle school doesn’t have a soccer program, Liquidano is a throw back to the olden days.

“I like to go outside and play sports rather than staying inside and playing video games,” he said.

Liquidano started playing football two seasons ago, and immediately discovered he enjoyed the chance to drill people.

“I started football because I thought it would be a fun sport,” Liquidano said. “What I like about football is that you get to tackle people and have fun.

“I want to make as many tackles as I can and also try to win most of our games,” he added.

Like his older brother, he mans the line for the Wolves, playing center on offense and middle linebacker on defense (“My strength is when I play on defense; I would like to work more on the offensive side”).

A big fan of Adam Sandler’s version of “The Longest Yard,” he enjoys gym class, listens to 93.3 KUBE and has a strong support crew of family and friends.

“My coaches and brother and parents have helped me.”
