OK, let’s get this out of the way quickly and then move on.
Losing 50-0 is not a great thing.
Hopefully though, it can be a lesson, a building block for the future.
That’s the hope of Coupeville Middle School football coaches, who saw their team, made up of mainly 7th graders, get mashed by visiting Forks Wednesday afternoon.
The Spartans, whose roster is awash with 8th graders, dominated from the opening kickoff. Literally.
Sweeping up the ball in his own end zone, Forks’ returner spun back onto the field, cartwheeled towards the right sideline, then strolled 100+ yards the other way, coming into contact with (and getting away from) every one of the Wolf defenders.
Things went downhill pretty quickly from there, with Coupeville trailing 22-0 after one quarter and 44-0 at the half.
A running clock kept things from getting further out of hand after the break, though the Wolves came within a dropped pass of finally busting into the end zone on the game’s final play.
While the Wolves were pasted pretty good and fell to 0-2, head coach Bob Martin found a positive in the play of his quarterback, Cade Golden, who completed passes to Dakota Eck, Daniel Barajas, Ben Smith and Jake Mitten.
Damon Stadler also had a strong kickoff return, coming within one tackler of busting it for a quick six.
