No one worried about the score, but Friday was still important.
With Coupeville High School’s football team sitting eight days away from its season opener (Sept. 3 at home vs. South Whidbey), the Wolves got a chance to go out and hit someone who wasn’t their own teammate.
The occasion was a three-team jamboree down La Conner way, with Coupeville and Burlington-Edison filling out the marquee.
The game gave the Wolves a chance to run through their offense and defense under game-like conditions (and the watchful eye of first-year head coach Jon Atkins).
It also might have provided a little bit of an informal scouting session, as Coupeville returns to La Conner in Week 2 (Sept. 9) for a non-conference game with the Braves.
As the teams battled under a scorching sun, wanderin’ paparazzi John Fisken worked the sidelines, capturing the late-summer gridiron action.
