Putting in work under blue skies.

The line surges.

Dreaming of fall success.

Helmets in hand, a new batch of football warriors are taking possession of the gridiron.

Or, the practice field, at least.

Led by coach Bob Martin, the newest version of the Coupeville Middle School football squad is hard at work, putting in time and effort during spring practice drills.

The season may still be two-plus months away, but the Wolves are already on the prowl.

Things are starting to come into focus.

The start of the season is still months away, and head coach Bob Martin is a lone Wolf while he waits for a staff to be built around him, but middle school football is on the move.

The Wolves, who number 22 strong as of Tuesday morning, have spring practices through June.

During that time, CMS players and coaches will work on everything from proper tackling techniques to learning plays to identifying team captains for the season ahead.

“Our goals for the summer are to increase numbers, learn the basics of football, identify skill-sets, get fit, develop good habits, and have fun!,” Martin said.

The roster as of Tuesday morning:

Reiley Araceley
Lucious Binnings
Isaiah Bittner
Dominic Coffman
Ty Duddridge
Brawn Gadberry
Jesus Garcia-Partida
Ty Hamilton
Scott Hilborn
Kristina Jones
Jacob Kendall
Logan Martin
Caleb Meyer
Xavier Murdy
Zach Murtha
Kevin Partida
Cody Roberts
Gabe Shaw
Damon Stadler
Alex Wasik
Logan Wertz

They went out with a bang.

Coupeville 8th graders Kylie Chernikoff and Jake Mitten capped their middle school track careers Wednesday by winning league titles.

Chernikoff hurled the discus 78 feet to best a field of 14, while Mitten sailed over the high jump bar at five feet, two-and-a-half inches to top 21 rivals.

Their victories were the cherry on top for the Wolves, who survived a trip to the wilds of Forks for the Olympic League Championships.

The season-ending event drew seven middle schools, with the two largest ones taking team titles.

Sequim and Stevens, which support 2A high schools, took the boys and girls competitions, respectively.

Along with the wins, Coupeville also got a second-place finish in the 60 from 7th grader Ja’Kenya Hoskins and third-places finishes from its boys 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 relay teams.
