The world has gone topsy-turvy.
The Coupeville High School football team, off to its best start in a very-long time at 5-1, has gotten some computer love this season.
Newman, the diabolical collection of nuts and bolts doing the heavy work at Evans Rankings, likes the Wolves, mostly.
As does the RPI system employed by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association.
But real live humans?
Especially big-city newspaper prep sports reporters dreaming about making the jump to getting press box access (and free food) at Mariners or Seahawks games?
Safe to say, 98.4% of them don’t know their Coupeville from their Colville.
Except…
This week, when the Associated Press released its weekly football rankings, the Wolves made the poll for the first time since former Wolf coach Ron Bagby was rockin’ the short shorts.
Oh, it’s true.
Coupeville (not Colville) snagged seven points in the poll, placing the Wolves at #10 among all 2B schools in the state.
They sorta, kinda, know our name. Bout dang time.
Associated Press 2B poll for week 7:
1. Napavine – (6-0) – 80 poll points
2. Okanogan – (6-0) – 70
3. Raymond – (6-0) – 64
4. Liberty (Spangle) – (5-1) – 47
5. Lind-Ritzville/Sprague – (5-1) – 46
