Football gives and football takes away.

Late in Friday’s Homecoming game against Port Townsend, Coupeville back-up quarterback Shane Losey completed his first varsity pass, hooking up with Taylor Consford.

It was the first reception for his senior receiver, a first-year player, and a bright moment for the sophomore signal-caller.

Unfortunately, it’s likely to be the final big play of either player’s season.

Both suffered injuries in the final minutes against the RedHawks, with both believed to be season-ending.

Scott Losey confirmed his son has a growth plate fracture in his shoulder and will be out four to six weeks.

With four games left on the regular-season schedule, that means Shane won’t see the field again this year, leaving freshman Dawson Houston as Hunter Downes back-up at QB.

Downes, a junior who has been mostly pain-free this year, was knocked out early last year by the same type of injury Shane Losey suffered.

“These are the bumps of the sport,” said Scott Losey, a former Wolf player whose dad, uncle and two sons all suited up for CHS.

Consford was on crutches at the Homecoming dance after taking a shot to his knee.

Sunday morning he confirmed that his first varsity catch was also his last.

“I’m out for the season,” Consford said.
