Now, they just need to carry it over to the regular season.
The Coupeville High School football team dominated play Friday night at a warm-up event in Sedro-Woolley.
“The jamboree was fantastic!,” said CHS coach Marcus Carr. “The defense did not allow a single touchdown, and the offense made great strides in the run game.”
Andrew Martin busted off the biggest play of the night, barreling 30 yards on a touchdown jaunt, while teammates Ben Smith and Gavin Straub “had good runs as well.”
Wolf QB Dawson Houston completed two passes in limited action, racking up 40 yards through the air.
While the Coupeville offense was clicking, it was the “D” which was smokin’ fools.
The Wolf defense, lead by senior standout Sean Toomey-Stout “was dominant” in its mini-games.
Big plays came from every end of the spectrum, from senior Gavin Knoblich spurring the team on with “big plays at defensive end” to freshman Kai Wong recovering a fumble.
The CHS newcomer was the first to hoist the team’s new “turnover belt,” a WWE-style memento which will be used to immortalize every fumble and interception this season.
All in all, Coupeville’s balanced play on both sides of the ball made for a happy head coach.
“It was a good day and we are moving in the right direction,” Carr said. “The coaching staff and players did outstanding jobs today!”
The Wolves open the regular season next Friday, Sept. 6, when they host Port Townsend for a 6 PM rumble.
