The gang’s all here.
Well, if “here” is Ellensburg, it was true.
Saturday afternoon brought college football to the forefront once again.
Taking advantage of it, a pack of Coupeville fans headed East to see three former Wolves face off on the gridiron.
Former teammates Nick Streubel, Josh Bayne and Jake Tumblin reunited for the first time at the college level, with Streubel’s Central Washington University squad knocking off Simon Fraser 40-7.
Tumblin and Bayne didn’t go down without a fight, however, as the two freshman combined for five tackles and six assists for The Clan.
Bayne had three tackles and three assists (and got half of a tackle for loss), while Tumblin had two tackles and two assists.
The duo will meet back up with the lineman who used to open running paths for them when the two schools play Nov. 6 in Burnaby.
Win streak snapped: Meanwhile, off in in Dillon, Montana, another former Wolf saw his team’s run of success momentarily halted.
Montana Western and Mitch Pelroy fell 10-9 to Carroll College, ruining the Bulldogs Homecoming and snapping a seven-game winning streak that had dated back to last year.
Pelroy recorded a tackle from his defensive back position, but Montana Western (3-1) stalled out time and again on offense, netting just three field goals.
