The only record that matters is the win/loss record.
Sure, that’s true, to a point.
But individual and team stat marks are important as well, particularly to bloggers who get strong page hit numbers when they write about said records.
So, compromise a bit, hardliners. Or don’t read this story.
Your choice.
Either way, as the Coupeville High School football team preps for its first state playoff game in 32 years, some of us are taking a moment to look at what records have fallen, or may fall, during this gridiron campaign.
So far, we have one change on the big board, with junior quarterback Logan Downes having broken a three-way tie for most touchdown passes in a single game.
Previously, Wolf QB’s Corey Cross (1971), Brad Sherman (2001), and Hunter Downes (2016) jointly held the record with four scoring heaves.
That changed, however, with Logan Downes putting the ball into his receiver’s hands, and watching five different Wolves hit paydirt during a 78-0 rout of a downtrodden La Conner squad.
Like it. Love it. Hate it.
It’s a record, and stands forever, or at least until another Wolf gunslinger comes along and peppers a defense for six TD’s.

Moving forward, Coupeville has between one and four games left to play this season, depending on how the postseason works out.
Saturday’s matchup with Onalaska, set to kickoff at 4 PM at Oak Harbor’s Wildcat Memorial Stadium, is guaranteed.
After that, the 12-team 2B football playoffs are single-elimination, so win and play on, lose and start thinking about basketball.
While it’s always possible a Wolf goes off and shatters single-game marks like Ian Barron’s 320-yard rushing effort from 1998, Gabe Eck’s 403-yard passing performance from 2015, or Scott McMartin’s 27-tackle night from 1981, here’s what seems likely to be in play.
