In between ranting at computers, let’s take a moment to say happy birthday to freshman QB Hunter Downes.
Insanity, thy name is “Debbie.”
She’s made of bits and bolts, one and zeros, and she’s an idiot. A stark, raving moron. Of that I have little doubt.
Now, the “Debbie” I speak of is the computer that sits in the corner (hopefully hanging its head in shame at the moment) at the core of http://www.scoreczar.org/.
Admittedly, she has been right far more than wrong in the past, but there are moments that make you think her operator spilled their beverage of choice all over “Debbie” and short-circuited her main frame.
How else to explain that in the newest rankings, the Coupeville High School football squad finds itself SIX spots behind a team it just bushwhacked?
That’s right, the Wolves jumped out to a 29-7 lead on Port Townsend last Friday, then, after losing their QB in the third quarter with a hip pointer, held on and made a stellar defensive stand, picking off passes left and right, to secure a 29-21 win.
The victory puts Coupeville at 3-1 overall, 2-0 in 1A Olympic League play, a game up on Port Townsend (2-2, 1-1) and Klahowya (1-3, 1-1) and two up on Chimacum (0-4, 0-2).
And yet, “Debbie” has Port Townsend ranked #17 in 1A currently (down from #10 before its loss) and Coupeville at #23 (up a measly three spots after BEATING the #10 team).
Whaaaaaaaaaaaa??????????
Coupeville has a better record (3-1 vs. 2-2). It’s undefeated against 1A teams, with its only loss coming to a 2A Sequim squad that’s also 3-1.
Port Townsend’s defining win this season is against Klahowya, which is ranked #32.
The Wolves have wins against teams that currently sit at #17 (guess who) and #30 (South Whidbey) and their third win was against #42 (Chimacum), which is better than Port Townsend’s other win, which came against #51 (Bellevue Christian).
If we want to keep on throwing out stats, the Wolves have outscored the Redhawks 113-104 and their quarterback, leading rusher and receiver all have better stats.
Plus, let’s go back for a second … THEY BEAT PORT TOWNSEND.
On the field, between the lines, they were the better team. They ARE the better team.
But somewhere a computer hums a merry tune and spews nonsense, even if no one with a lick of sense believes her.
To gaze at the complete 1A rankings (in which SIX teams with a .500 record also sit ahead of Coupeville) pop over to:
