Coupeville Sports

Best Homecoming ever?

It’s certainly up there, as 1974 was a golden year for Coupeville High School football.

That team became the first modern-era Wolf gridiron squad to win a league title, something CHS has only repeated once since then, when 1990’s unit went undefeated through the regular season.

While Coupeville may not be a football factory, it has had its moments, as you can see in the preserved recap of that ’74 rout of Chimacum.

The memento comes to us courtesy Chuck Hardee, who plunged into the end zone twice that night.

And now the spotlight can turn to you.

Have photos, newspaper clippings, memorabilia or such from anywhere in the history of Coupeville prep sports, which stretches back to around 1900?

Go clean your attics and your basements, or harass Grandma until she gives up the goods, then email me at davidsvien@hotmail.com.
