Hunter Smith is coming for all the records. I said all of them!

The Coupeville High School senior now owns at least a share of five Wolf football records, and came within a measly two yards Friday night of getting a sixth one.

Smith hauled in seven passes for 200 yards and a pair of touchdowns to spark CHS to an 18-0 win over host South Whidbey.

His first catch of the night, a 12-yard reception, gave him the school’s career receiving yards record.

Chad Gale racked up 1,345 yards in the late ’80s, and Smith had 1,335 entering the 2017 season.

The record Smith narrowly missed was the single-game mark for receiving yards.

While his 200 yards topped his own personal best (178, which Smith hit once as a sophomore and once as a junior), Gale’s 202 yards from an ’87 game is still the gold standard … if just barely.

The quarterback flinging passes Smith’s way, senior Hunter Downes, threw for 310 yards, just 13 off his personal best (323 vs. Charles Wright as a junior).

The Hunter to Hunter connection was the big news, but plenty of other Wolves posted sterling stats in the opening night victory.
