Coupeville Sports

Josh Bayne is here to bring the pain.

The calendar says August, but don’t believe it.

In 16 days, the Coupeville High School football squad kicks off the fall sports season, and today was day one of officially getting ready for that moment.

With coach Tony Maggio entering his second season at the helm of the Wolves, a senior-heavy team led by Nick Streubel, Jake Tumblin, Gunnar Langvold, Brett Arnold and others officially opened practice Wednesday afternoon.

Looming in the days ahead — two-a-day practices and the sounds of helmets thumping into pads.

This coming Monday the CHS volleyballers, booters and netters make their first bows in practice, but, for this, day, as intrepid photographer John Fisken clicked away, the football players had the eyes of the town solely on them.
