The Lone Wolf is howling.
Coupeville High School senior Jaje Drake, a one-man Cow Town wrestling crew training and traveling with South Whidbey, is off to a strong start.
He split a pair of matches against Oak Harbor Thursday, Dec. 7, then went a crisp 10-0 Saturday, Dec. 9 during a tournament held at Chimacum High School.
Drake returns to the mat this Wednesday when South Whidbey plays host to Friday Harbor and Concrete.
A captain during the football season, he is following in the footsteps of former Wolf Alex Turner, who has followed up his time on the mat by working as a football coach at CHS.
Since Coupeville is one of the few schools in Washington state not to have its own grappling program, Drake had to find another school to join up with as a part of a co-op.
He will remain with South Whidbey, but rep Coupeville, during the regular season, then go his own way once the postseason arrives.
That’s because the Falcons are a 1A program, while CHS is a 2B school.
Drake goes to work.
