The team’s crusty defensive coordinator lays out her game plan. “OK men, I want you to hit ’em. Then hit ’em again!!”
“Ma’am! Yes, ma’am!!”
Now it gets serious.
Coming off a 24-0 thumping of much-heralded La Conner Saturday, the Anacortes Midget Sea Hawk football squad, and its three Coupeville stars, heads to the postseason.
The Sea Hawks, who feature Coupeville Elementary School students Matthew Kelley, Sage Downes and Jake Mitten, are 6-2 and tied for second place entering the playoffs. That begins Oct. 26 with a likely meeting against Oak Harbor.
Playing La Conner, Anacortes threw down a defensive butt-whuppin’, holding their foes to just one first down the entire afternoon.
When they had the ball in their hands, the Sea Hawks put the ball in the end zone on a regular basis. Kelley busted out a pass reception on fourth and long for a touchdown, while Gaige Berow and Gavin Moore had long scoring runs of their own.
