They like living in the end zone.
Five games into the season, the Coupeville High School football team has scored 26 touchdowns en route to posting a 4-1 record.
The Wolves have split the scoring load between seven players, with Dominic Coffman (4), Daylon Houston (2), Johnny Porter (2), Logan Downes (1), and Aiden O’Neill (1) all chipping into the effort.
But there’s a titanic twosome leading the way, as seniors Tim Ursu and Scott Hilborn have hit paydirt eight times apiece.
Ursu has snagged five TD passes, while also scoring once on a run, a punt return, and a kickoff return.
Hilborn counters with six scores as a rusher, one through the air, and one off of a kickoff return.
Coupeville has four regular season games left and seems intent on picking up a playoff tilt or two.
That should give Hilborn and Ursu a chance to make a run at putting together some of the best scoring seasons in the Coupeville Sports era, which runs from 2012-2022.
Who are they chasing? Well, in Hilborn’s case, it’s himself.
Most TDs 2012-2022:
Josh Bayne — 25 TDs in 2014
Hunter Smith — 14 TDs in 2016
Scott Hilborn — 12 TDs in 2021
Sean Toomey-Stout — 10 TDs in 2018
Jake Tumblin — 10 TDs in 2012
Bryce Fleming — 9 TDs in 2012
Jake Tumblin — 9 TDs in 2013
And one fun fact.
Even though Josh Bayne was unstoppable in 2014, he does NOT own the school’s single season record for collecting either rushing or receiving touchdowns.
He ran for 15 scores, and snagged another 10 through the air that year, but the CHS marks of 16 TDs on the ground and 11 through the air belong to Ian Barron and Hunter Smith, respectively.
