A family move is taking two of Coupeville High School’s most-promising athletes away just two games into a new boys’ soccer season.
CHS junior Oscar Liquidano and his younger brother Uriel, a Wolf freshman, departed the team after Tuesday night’s home game against Cedarcrest.
The move will leave Coupeville down a football captain in the fall, when Oscar Liquidano was set to lead the Wolves along side Aaron Wright, Josh Bayne and Carson Risner.
“Devastating. I love that kid,” said CHS football coach Tony Maggio.
Both Liquidano brothers were three-sport athletes in the two years they lived in town, playing football, basketball and soccer.
While Uriel, aka “Woody,” had begun to make his presence felt at the high school level, his older brother was already an extremely popular part of Wolf Nation.
Big O, an easy-going dude, was famous for an incredible one-man cheer performance that rocked the gym at Mount Vernon Christian as a sophomore.
Arms waving wildly in the air, he had out-screamed the home cheering section by himself as the Wolf boys’ basketball team snapped a season-and-a-half losing streak.
His departure will leave an impact on his friends and teammates.
“You will be missed by all of Coupeville; you are a great teammate and a better friend,” said CHS senior soccer player Gunnar Langvold. “I will miss your joyful presence in school.
“I hope you have a good time where you will live, stay out of trouble and don’t change,” he added.
