There can only be one.
No matter what happens the rest of the football season, only one of the four teams in the new 1A Olympic League has any shot at running the table and going undefeated, and that squad hails from Cow Town.
With its season-opening 35-28 non-conference win Friday over Island rival South Whidbey, Coupeville was the lone school to capture a win.
New league mates Klahowya, Port Townsend and Chimacum all fell in their openers, though two of the three teams lost by a paltry point.
Port Townsend was edged 14-13 by Port Angeles, Klahowya fell 25-24 to Elma and Chimacum was routed 47-21 by Sequim.
That last game is of particular note to Coupeville, since Sequim, a 2A school, is next up on the schedule.
Having bounced back after a winless 2013 season — the win was sparked by a three-touchdown performance from quarterback Miguel Moroles — Sequim will travel to Whidbey Friday, Sept. 12 (5:30 kickoff).
It will be the first time the two schools have met since 1930.
Coupeville has four straight home games to open the season, with its first conference game Sept. 19 against Chimacum.
