Coupeville Sports

They like him. They really like him.

Coupeville High School junior Hunter Smith was tabbed as a First-Team selection on both sides of the ball when 1A Olympic/Nisqually League football coaches cast their All-Conference votes.

He was named as both a receiver, where he tallied school single-season records of 916 yards and 11 touchdowns, and as a defensive back, where he picked off three passes and rang up 49 tackles.

Junior quarterback Hunter Downes, who threw for 1,569 yards and 17 TD’s, was named to the Second Team.

Wolf seniors Clay Reilly (Special Teams), Jacob Martin (running back) and Uriel Liquidano (linebacker) and junior Julian Welling (offensive line) received Honorable Mention kudos.

Port Townsend senior quarterback Berkley Hill, who ran defenses ragged with his ability to slice and dice while on the move, was the MVP.

Other top honorees included Cascade Christian junior Tyquan Coleman (Offensive MVP), Klahowya senior Gabe Wallis (Defensive MVP), and Cascade Christian’s Randy Davis (Coach of the Year).

The league’s sportsmanship award was shared by Vashon Island and Port Townsend.

Which is kind of a crock.

While no one discounts Port Townsend’s success this year, finishing second in the eight-team league and going one-and-out in the state playoffs, sportsmanship was hardly the RedHawks calling card.

When you’re up by 50, with a running clock in the fourth quarter, and you choose to put your starting offense back in to ram a meaningless TD down the throats of another team’s JV players, there are a lot of words which come to mind.

None of them are “sportsmanship.”
