Our neighbor to the North just completed one of the most stunning turnarounds in Washington state prep sports history.
Four years after the program was on life support, and getting beat by 2B schools like Coupeville, the Anacortes High School football squad won the program’s first 2A state title Saturday at Husky Stadium, destroying six-time champ Tumwater 60-30.
The Seahawks scored 34 unanswered points in the first half and put up the most points a T-Bird gridiron squad has ever given up in a loss.
Anacortes rang up 552 yards in the win, with quarterback Rex Larson throwing for 346 yards and four touchdowns.
The Seahawks, who have a Coupeville connection in cheerleader Kate McFadyen, daughter of former Wolf QB Jason, scored on nine of 11 drives.
Anacortes also currently claims Kwamane Bowens, who formerly coached football at CHS and attended school in Coupeville in his early days.

Tumwater, which entered the day ranked #1, also has a Coupeville connection, as All-Conference tight end Jake Dillon is the son of former Wolf Sean.
His mom, the former Becca Jenson, was a year behind me at Tumwater.
