Fun Police can’t stop Batman!!

Jason Knoll -- The Man.

Jason Knoll — The Man.

Jason Knoll doesn’t play by your silly rules.

Crack down on students dressing up at games and cheering for their classmates, and the Coupeville High School senior, who happens to be celebrating his birthday today, will arrive to save the day — and the school year– by dressing up as Batman and popping up at as many games as possible.

A triple threat (tennis, soccer, band) with Jack Nicholson eyebrows, Knoll is the last brave man fighting the good fight.

The Fun Police will never catch him, never shut him down, and his legend builds day by day.

Years from now, when CHS students are allowed to run free again in the stands, they will look back and whisper the name of the man who refused (with a smile on his face) to give in and be quiet.

And he’ll be there in the shadows, watching from above, and a low growl will trickle down on a new generation.

“I’m Batman!”

He fought for your freedom. He refused to bend his knee.

For Knoll lives by the creed you all should remember: “They can take our vuvuzela horns, but they will never take our freedom!!”

Shine on, you crazy genius.

South Whidbey, you can’t handle the tooth!!

Wolves rule, Falcons drool. Celebrating are (l t r)

Cameron Boyd gave his tooth for the cause, and his teammates responded.

Playing inspired defense, the Coupeville High School boys’ soccer squad pulled off a stunning 2-1 upset of visiting South Whidbey Friday night, knocking off a team that has openly talked of expecting to compete for a 1A state title.

According to a story in the South Whidbey Record, the Falcons end their practices with the chant “State on three: one-two-three, state!”

Friday that chant could have been replaced with “One-two-three, Wolves rule, Falcons drool!” or that old favorite, “What do Wolves eat? Falcon meat!!”

The best South Whidbey could do was to knock out one of Boyd’s front teeth in a late-game scrum. The Wolf senior took a knee to the face, but was still smiling as he and his teammates celebrated their huge victory.

After posing for pictures after the game, he had to go to the dentist. Boyd eventually had a new tooth put in, and temporary braces attached to a second tooth that was traumatized.

When they weren’t sacrificing their molars, the Wolves shattered the Falcons with a stellar defense anchored by senior defender Brett Arnold and junior goaltender Joel Walstad.

“We had an outstanding group effort, playing with intensity and tenacity,” said CHS coach Kyle Nelson. “Joel  had an outstanding performance in goal, making some spectacular saves.”

CHS surrendered a goal early, then frustrated South Whidbey the remainder of the game.

Coupeville answered with goals of its own, one from senior Josiah Campbell and one from sophomore Zane Bundy, who found the back of the net for the third straight game this season.

Now 2-1 overall, 1-1 in Cascade Conference play, the Wolves will venture on the road for the first time this season Tuesday, when they travel to Lakewood.

It was a dark and stormy night and then a couple of soccer games broke out.

Tuesday night in Coupeville was your typical damp, dank early taste of spring, but that didn’t stop the Wolves from facing off with Cedarcrest in two brawl-until-the-buzzer battles.

Big Bundy goal, narrow loss for Wolves!!

Tuesdays are made for Zane Bundy.

The Coupeville High School sophomore and his Wolf boys’ soccer teammates have played twice this season — both time on Tuesdays — and both games have featured electrifying goals from Bundy.

This time around, he netted a score against 2A biggie Cedarcrest off of an assist from fellow sophomore Abraham Leyva. The duo are now tied for the early team lead with two goals apiece.

It wasn’t quite enough for a huge upset, however, as the visiting Red Wolves managed to scrape together a pair of late second-half goals and escape from The Rock with a 2-1 victory.

The loss dropped Coupeville to 1-1 overall, 0-1 in Cascade Conference play, heading into a big Island showdown against South Whidbey Friday.

That contest, the Wolves’ third straight home game, kicks off at Micky Clark Field at 6 PM.

Playing against Cedarcrest, the Wolves held on to a 1-0 lead past the 20th minute of the second half.

Josiah Campbell barely missed netting a second score for CHS. The persistent wind and a couple of questionable calls, including one on a Coupeville breakaway, hurt the Wolves.

Still, CHS coach Kyle Nelson came away pleased with much of what he saw.

“The boys played a great game,” Nelson said. “Could have come away with a win against a really good team.”

The Wolves lost two starters after the game, with a family move to Las Vegas taking away junior Oscar Liquidano and freshman Uriel Liquidano.

Big O and lil’ bro leave The Rock!!

Vegas 2, Coupeville 0.

A family move is taking two of Coupeville High School’s most-promising athletes away just two games into a new boys’ soccer season.

CHS junior Oscar Liquidano and his younger brother Uriel, a Wolf freshman, departed the team after Tuesday night’s home game against Cedarcrest.

The move will leave Coupeville down a football captain in the fall, when Oscar Liquidano was set to lead the Wolves along side Aaron Wright, Josh Bayne and Carson Risner.

“Devastating. I love that kid,” said CHS football coach Tony Maggio.

Both Liquidano brothers were three-sport athletes in the two years they lived in town, playing football, basketball and soccer.

While Uriel, aka “Woody,” had begun to make his presence felt at the high school level, his older brother was already an extremely popular part of Wolf Nation.

Big O, an easy-going dude, was famous for an incredible one-man cheer performance that rocked the gym at Mount Vernon Christian as a sophomore.

Arms waving wildly in the air, he had out-screamed the home cheering section by himself as the Wolf boys’ basketball team snapped a season-and-a-half losing streak.

His departure will leave an impact on his friends and teammates.

“You will be missed by all of Coupeville; you are a great teammate and a better friend,” said CHS senior soccer player Gunnar Langvold. “I will miss your joyful presence in school.

“I hope you have a good time where you will live, stay out of trouble and don’t change,” he added.
