Mitch Pelroy lit the fuse and the University of Montana Western exploded.

Set up by a 33-yard kickoff return from the speedy Coupeville High School grad, the Bulldogs crushed MSU-Northern 60-15 Saturday in NAIA gridiron action, claiming the school’s first winning record in a decade.

Closing with four straight wins, Montana Western finished the season 6-5 overall, 6-4 in the Frontier Conference. It was the school’s first winning season since 2004.

Sophomore Sam Rutherford keyed the win, rambling for 111 yards and two touchdowns. He snapped the school’s single-season rushing record with 1,061 yards — the first Bulldog to break 1,000 yards.

Montana Western quarterback Tyler Hulse wrapped up a stellar career as a Bulldog by passing for 244 yards and three touchdowns. Hulse capped his final game by rushing for a 15-yard touchdown as well.

Playing as a redshirt sophomore, Pelroy led the Bulldogs in both punt (four returns for 56 yards) and kickoff returns (16-389) and was fifth on the team in all-purpose yardage with 445 yards.

He also recorded 14 solo tackles and four assists while playing in the defensive backfield.

Tyler King is the one who knocks … his opponents out.

Coming off the best race of his collegiate cross country career, the Coupeville High School grad, currently rampaging on scholarship at the University of Washington, received his first All-Pac-12 honors Wednesday.

The redshirt junior finished 12th at the Pac-12 Championships — second-best by a Husky — and was selected to the league’s Second Team when honors were handed out.

He was joined by senior U-Dub teammate Aaron Nelson, while fellow Dawg Colby Gilbert was named as the league’s Freshman of the Year.

Colorado and Oregon combined to grab six of the seven First-Team spots, with Duck sophomore Edward Cheserek tabbed as the Athlete of the Year. Mark Wetmore of Colorado won Coach of the Year.

Junior Maddie Meyers was a First-Team selection for the Washington women.

If you can spare a buck or two, you can help a whole bunch of people.

Former Coupeville High School baseball star Ben Etzell, now a freshman at Saint John’s University in Minnesota, is planning to take part in a campus-wide event to raise funds to support St. Jude’s lifesaving mission of finding cures and saving children.

Students will be pulling an all-nighter Friday, Nov. 7 to draw attention to St. Jude’s work and Etzell needs to raise $100 to reach his fundraising goal and participate.

He’s almost halfway there, but could use a push from Wolf fans.

To see more and help him out, jump over to:

Tyler King: American Badass

Tyler King: American Badass

The King has arrived.

Running at the third Pac-12 Cross Country Championships of his college career Friday, Coupeville High School grad Tyler King produced his best race since putting on the purple and gold.

The University of Washington junior finished 12th at the Metropolitan Golf Links in Oakland, covering the 8,000 meter course in 24 minutes flat.

After finishing 22nd in 2012 and 31st in 2013, this year’s finish is expected to cinch him All-Pac-12 honors.

Paced by King and teammate Aaron Nelson, who edged him for 11th by a single second, the Huskies claimed fourth in the team battle.

That’s their best result since 2009, the last time UW reached the NCAA championships.

Colorado, the #1 team in the nation, won its fourth straight team title, while #2 Oregon and #9 Stanford finished just slightly ahead of #12 Washington.

The Huskies, who put five runners in the top 25 finishers, beat UCLA, which had entered the race ranked #11 in the nation.

King overcame heavy rain and wind to achieve his stellar performance.

U-Dub coach Greg Metcalf was quoted by several sources after the race saying, “Tyler, that was his best race as a Husky.”

Washington returns to action Nov. 14 when it competes at the NCAA West Regional Championships, which will be hosted by Stanford.

The NCAA Championships take place Nov. 22.

Three tackles sparked a third straight win.

Sparked by the defensive performance of Coupeville High School grad Mitch Pelroy (two solo tackles and an assist), Montana Western roared back to upend College of Idaho 30-27 Saturday in NAIA football action.

The victory lifted the Bulldogs to 5-5 overall, 5-4 in Frontier League play and avenged an earlier season loss to the Yotes, who also have a Wolf alum on their roster.

Former CHS lineman Anthony Maggio is redshirting during his freshman year.

Playing on Senior Day, Montana Western grabbed the lead with two minutes to play.

Bulldog quarterback Tyler Hulse drove his squad down the field, setting up sophomore Sam Rutherford, who slammed in for the go-ahead touchdown on a nine-yard run.

Montana Western then sealed the victory when Jesse McCloud picked off a last-second Yote pass.

Pelroy has been a force on both sides of the ball as the Bulldogs have bounced back after a rough start.

He has eighteen tackles (14 solo, four assists) from his position in the defensive backfield and is the team’s top kickoff (15 returns for 356 yards) and punt returner (4-56).

Montana Western closes the regular season Nov. 8 with a road game at Montana State-Northern. The first time around the Bulldogs demolished the Polar Bears 50-30.
