All your scores belong to Coupeville.
Well, almost all of them.
Wolf players accounted for all but one goal Saturday, as the North Whidbey Islanders boys’ FC-01 soccer squad pummeled a Seattle team 7-1.
Matthew Kelley led the way with a hat trick, twice scoring on plays where he bounced the ball over his defender, slipped around him and then drilled the ball into the corner of the net as it came down.
“Never seen anything like it!,” said proud papa Pat Kelley.
Hot on his heels was teammate Aram Leyva, who tallied two goals in the game’s opening five minutes.
Jake Mitten rounded out the Coupeville scoring brigade with a booming 20-yard shot that came off a nice set-up from James Wood.
The only goal scored by a non-Wolf was set up by a Cow Town kid, as North Whidbey drew a penalty kick when Coupeville’s Sam Wynn was de-cleated on a play.
While he didn’t score a goal, Sage Downes also made his presence felt, setting up one of Kelley’s scores with his usual crisp passing.
The Islanders return to action Sept. 19 when they play a Crossfire squad at Fort Nugent.
