Joel Walstad is the early favorite to inherit the starting QB job.
Are you ready for some football?
If so, you’re in luck, because, even though it’s still July, this weekend will bring pigskin play back to the gridiron.
Coupeville High School has scheduled a scrimmage against 3A school Lakeside for 1 PM Saturday at Mickey Clark Field.
The informal event will officially kick off Tony Maggio’s third year at the helm of the Wolves, while giving fans a taste of what to expect when fall rolls around.
A strong Class of 2014 led by Nick Streubel and Jake Tumblin departed, but running back Josh Bayne and linemen Carson Risner and Aaron Wright return as captains for CHS.
Senior Joel Walstad is favored to be the starting quarterback, while big hittin’ juniors Lathom Kelley and Wiley Hesselgrave should anchor the defense.
Lakeside, which hails from Seattle, is coached by Casey Selfridge.
Coupeville, which is leaving the 1A/2A Cascade Conference for the 1A Olympic League this season, kicks off the regular season Friday, Sept. 5 with a home game against South Whidbey.
That game will now be a non-conference affair, but the winner will still claim The Bucket, which has resided in captivity in Langley since last year.
