Even gridiron giants start off small.

Current Coupeville High School seniors Brett Arnold and Nick Streubel grew up to become kings of the football field, but, once upon a time, they were small guys just watching the big boys play games.

Then they became the big boys and other people started watching them.

Everything changes next season for Wolf football.

Coupeville High School, the smallest 1A school in the state, is moving out of the 1A/2A Cascade Conference, where it routinely faced teams three times its size.

Starting in the fall, CHS will join Chimacum, Klahowya and Port Townsend in a 1A division of the Olympic League that will stand on its own.

Along with the chance to face off with schools far more comparable in size, the Wolves will be lookin’ sharp in newly designed helmets, as well.

Coupeville coach Tony Maggio is the man behind the move.

“I had them all reconditioned and painted flat black,” he said. “Ordered all new decals, large, over-sized new designed wolf, American flag on back, with players number on back … SICK!!

“The kids that have seen them really like them.”

Big Hurt the big 1-8!!

Nicholas Streubel

He is potentially the best thing to ever happen to Coupeville Sports.

In the 20-month history of this blog, few, if any, local athletes have been as dependable a draw as Coupeville High School senior Nick “The Big Hurt” Streubel.

If you print it, they will read it.

Football, basketball, track and field, doesn’t matter the sport. Folks love them some Streubel.

Capable of ripping through the line and shredding three would-be blockers or gently playing with one of his coach’s sons, lifting him high above his imposing frame so the little boy can shoot a basket, Nick remains the quiet, friendly young man he’s always been.

I remember when he was a (relatively) little guy, and it’s been an honor to help document his exploits as he grew into his nickname.

As he celebrates his 18th birthday today, I wish him the best. Cause he deserves nothing else, since he is the best.

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.
