A season of learning continues.
Playing with an ultra-thin roster, with many of the players new to the game, the Coupeville Middle School football squad will likely take some lumps.
The key is how the Wolves respond.
Wednesday afternoon in Langley, CMS coach Brett Casey got the effort he wanted, as his team played their hosts even in the second half.
While the Wolves fell 42-12, they punched in both of their touchdowns after the break.
Those came courtesy Alex “Beast Mode” Murdy, who powered in twice on the ground to put Coupeville on the scoreboard.
“He ran the ball hard and the o-line did a great job staying on their blocks,” Casey said.
Scott Hilborn also “had a couple of good runs,” linemen William Davidson, Kevin Partida and Josh Upchurch cleared space for the ball carriers and Jesse Wooten “blocked great down field for the running backs.”
On the defensive side of the ball, Casey praised the play of Owen Shelly and Dominic Coffman, who created considerable pressure on Langley’s backfield, and Tim Ursu, who had “a solid game at free safety.”
Coupeville forced two turnovers, with Murdy recovering a fumble and Nate Ginnings picking off a pass.
