They’ve hit double digits again.

Last season, during a run to a league title and a trip to the state playoffs, 12 Coupeville High School football players scored a touchdown.

This year, with a younger roster, scoring is down, but the Wolves have still found a way to get 10 players into the end zone.

Freshman Davin Houston snagged a touchdown pass from Logan Downes against Friday Harbor to become that 10th player to hit pay dirt.

With six games in the books, Coupeville has tallied 147 points and 22 touchdowns this season, averaging out to a not-bad 24.5 and 3.7 per game.

Admittedly, that is down from last year’s nine-game total of 363 points and 52 scores, but last year was also one of the best in program history.

Jack Porter (grey shirt) has found the end zone twice.

The Wolves have three regular season games left to play, with a non-conference Homecoming rumble against Forks set for this Friday, Oct. 13.

After that comes a road trip to La Conner and a Senior Night rematch with Friday Harbor as CHS pursues a return to state.

As the final games play out, one thing to keep an eye on is the play of quarterback Logan Downes.

The senior gunslinger has 13 touchdown passes this season and 33 for his career.

Logan Downes already owns the CHS single-game record of five scoring heaves and is chasing Joel Walstad (18) and big bro Hunter Downes (35) for the single-season and career marks.

Logan Downes chases history.
