Mark Laska rolls the dough and hands it out.

The owner of popular Coupeville restaurant Ciao, he sponsored two Central Whidbey Soccer Club teams this past season.

The BU12 squad, which was a goal-scoring machine (99 goals, with 17 of 19 players finding the back of the net) gave the pizza man a little return on his investment, presenting Laska a team jersey framed along with the autographs of the team’s players and coaches.

Among the names immortalized under glass are Sage Downes, who drove home a team-high 28 goals, and those of Matthew Kelley, Jake Mitten and Michael Laska, who presented the senior Laska with his memento.
