Logan Downes flicks a pass towards the end zone. (Bailey Thule photo)
I stand corrected.
Or, more accurately, MaxPreps — where the struggle is endless and the end results questionable — stands corrected.
Well, maybe not corrected so much, but at least hanging its head in shame. Hopefully.
What am I rambling about?
Well, having done a deep dive into the touchdowns passes tossed by Coupeville High School quarterback Logan Downes, I have discovered an error on MaxPreps.
I know, we’re all shocked. Like, really, really shocked … oh … no, now I’m being told none of us are shocked in the slightest.
But anyway, back to heapin’ abuse on MaxPreps, which credits Downes, a current senior, with throwing two TD lobs as a sophomore, when he really had three.
This changes everything! Everything, I say!!
At the very least, the correction does move him one step closer to taking away older brother Hunter’s career TD passing record. So, there’s that.
With six regular season games, and hopefully a playoff run, still ahead for Logan, he sits with 28 scoring passes, third best in CHS gridiron history.
Three as a sophomore while sharing time with Cole Hutchinson under center, in a season where the Wolves had one game cancelled by the wind, and another by injuries.
Then 17 last year, one shy of Joel Walstad’s single-season school record, and eight and counting through the first three games of the 2023 season.
Toss two more scoring strikes, and Logan joins his basketball coach, Brad Sherman (33 TD’s) and big bro Hunter (35) in the “30” club.
The current Wolf gunslinger already holds the single-game school record of five touchdown passes in a game — set last season against La Conner, which travels to Whidbey this Friday for a rematch.
As he chases his sibling in the record books, Logan has connected with 11 different receivers on a TD pass over the past three seasons.
