“I must break you.”
Nick Streubel is coming for you.
Blotting out the stadium lights as he looms over tackle, the Coupeville High School senior has been the spark for the wrecking crew that is the Wolf defense.
Jake Tumblin and Josh Bayne hit like ferocious beasts (plus Bayne is second in the state in interceptions) and CHS linemen such as Aaron Wright and Oscar Liquidano wrap up and plant foes into the turf head-first.
But it’s Streubel, the swim champ who blossomed into a raging tackling machine, who is beating triple teams and scarring the souls of quarterbacks everywhere.
He currently leads 1A players in sacks (fourth overall in all classifications) and tops all 1A linemen in tackles (seventh overall).
As the Wolves (3-2) prep for Friday’s footballageddon against South Whidbey (4-2) — Homecoming kicks off at 7 PM at Mickey Clark Field, with ownership of The Bucket and both teams playoff hopes in the balance — one thing is for sure.
Get in the way of The Big Hurt on a Friday night and your Saturday morning will be filled with aspirin.
