Four suited up Saturday, one hopes to play another day.

Former Coupeville High School stars turned college football studs Nick Streubel, Mitch Pelroy, Josh Bayne and Jake Tumblin closed out the regular season strongly Saturday.

Streubel, a redshirt freshman lineman, and his Central Washington University teammates came from behind to beat Dixie State 34-28 to reach .500.

The NCAA D-II Wildcats finished their season with back-to-back wins and exit at 5-5.

Tumblin and Bayne, true freshmen who played in the defensive backfield for Simon Fraser University this year, wrapped an 0-9 campaign.

The Clan fell 38-17 at Azusa Pacific Saturday.

Pelroy, a junior at Montana Western, played for a conference title in a game that came down to the final seconds.

While he and the Bulldogs, ranked #10 in the latest NAIA poll, came up just short, falling 24-17 to #6 Montana Tech, they still have playoff hopes.

Montana Western finished 7-3 and hopes to get an at-large berth when the playoff field is announced Sunday.

Montana Tech, which went from a 1-9 record in 2014 to a 9-1 mark this year, gets an automatic invite as the Frontier League champs.

Pelroy recorded a tackle and took back a kickoff for 19 yards in the loss.

He’s picked up 195 yards on nine returns this season.

There is only one true King.

Saving his best for his next-to-last run as a University of Washington harrier, former CHS cross country star Tyler King helped the Huskies make history Friday.

Sparked by King’s fifth-place finish, U-Dub stunned the field at a soggy, muddy NCAA West Regionals in Seattle, capturing the title for the first time in school history.

The victory guarantees the Dawgs a trip to Louisville, Kentucky for next Saturday’s NCAA Championships.

Washington entered the afternoon ranked #17 in the country, but upended #4 Stanford and #7 Oregon to claim the team title.

The Cardinal also get an automatic berth to the big dance, while the Ducks will have to wait for an at-large berth.

The Husky women, who finished third behind senior Maddie Meyers, are also waiting on the possibility of an at-large berth.

King, running 10,000 meters for the first time this season, zipped across the course at Jefferson Park Golf Course in 31 minutes, 8.1 seconds.

Edward Cheserek of Oregon (30:43.2) won the individual title.

There were 205 runners in the mens race, with King leading a pack of Huskies. Washington also got a 10th place finish from Andrew Gardner, while placing five runners in the top 25.

It was the fourth and final time the former Wolf ran in the West Regionals. His best previous finish was 33rd as a junior.

King went on to place 40th at nationals last season.

Mitch Pelroy is flying high, and so is his team.

With the Coupeville High School grad making an impact on both sides of the ball Saturday, the Montana Western gridiron squad nipped the College of Idaho 27-23.

The victory, coming on the road at Caldwell, Idaho, was the third straight win for the resurgent Bulldogs.

Now 6-2 and ranked #16 in the most recent NAIA coaches poll, Montana Western sits a game back of Southern Oregon and Montana Tech in the Frontier Conference standings.

Southern Oregon, which beat the Bulldogs 37-30 in overtime earlier in the season, is the #1 ranked team in the nation, while Montana Tech is #10.

The two 7-1 squads face off next Saturday, Nov. 7, while Montana Western celebrates Senior Day by welcoming 0-8 Montana State-Northern to Dillon.

The Bulldogs wrap regular season play Nov. 14 with a trip to Montana Tech.

Facing off with Idaho, Montana Western withstood a record-setting day by Yotes quarterback Teejay Gordon, who was 27-of-38 for 371 yards.

The completions and yardage total broke school records that had stood since Oct. 11, 1969.

Pelroy only got one chance to return a kickoff, but he busted it out for 21 yards, a yard shy of his season average.

He’s brought back eight kicks for 176 yards this season, with a long return of 37 yards.

The former Wolf star also recorded a tackle and an assist Saturday while patrolling as a defensive back.

One more milestone down.

Running in his final Pac-12 Cross Country Championships, Tyler King placed 26th Friday morning.

The former Coupeville High School star, now a senior at the University of Washington, finished in the top third of the 79-runner field.

Edward Cheserek of Oregon won the individual race in 23 minutes, 6.3 seconds, while King zipped across the line in 23:54.1.

He won state titles in both track and cross country during his days at CHS and has been on scholarship at Washington while achieving All-American status.

The Huskies, who are ranked #20 in the country, finished fourth in the team standings.

Two-time defending NCAA champion Colorado edged Stanford for the title, while Oregon was third.

The race, hosted by Washington State, was held at the Colfax Golf Club, and featured six Top 25 teams.

U-Dub finished a slot ahead of UCLA, which had entered the day ranked #15 nationally.

King and his teammates now have two weeks to get ready for the NCAA West Regionals, which UW will host in Seattle.

They all hit the road, but only one is heading home a winner.

Two of three college football teams boasting former Coupeville High School players on their roster fell Saturday, but the one with the graybeard came away a winner.

Montana Western and Mitch Pelroy pulled out a come-from-behind 30-23 win against Eastern Oregon in La Grande, snapping a two-game losing streak.

Now 4-2, the Bulldogs have won eight of their last ten games going back to last season, but needed a blocked punt taken back for a touchdown with less than two minutes to play to escape this week.

Pelroy, a junior, brought back a kickoff for 22 yards, which is almost exactly his season average.

He’s returned seven kicks for 155 yards (22.1 average), giving him 755 return yards over his 26-game college career.

Pelroy has also amassed 38 tackles, 10 assists, 2.5 tackles for loss and a sack from his defensive back position.

Things didn’t go quite as well for Pelroy’s fellow CHS alumni, as lineman Nick Streubel and Central Washington were nipped 31-25 by Western Oregon in Monmouth. The Wildcats are 3-4 on the season.

Simon Fraser University, which carries two Wolves in Josh Bayne and Jake Tumblin, left Canada and was shut-out 19-0 in Rapid City by the South Dakota School of Mines. The Clan are 0-5.

Bayne notched a tackle in the loss, running his totals to 12 tackles and four assists. His fellow frosh has four tackles and five assists.

P.S. — Once again, a big thank you to Montana Western’s Haylee Sauer, who has been nice enough to let me use of her photos of Mitch during his college gridiron days.
