Mitch Pelroy is starting to pile up some yardage.

The former Coupeville High School football star ripped off a 41-yard kickoff return and a 38-yard punt return Saturday for Montana Western, but it wasn’t enough to keep the Bulldogs from taking a close loss, their third in a row.

Montana Western fell 31-28 to host College of Idaho, which counts former CHS lineman Anthony Maggio among its players.

The Coyotes are 2-0 after restarting a once-vaunted program that had been idle since 1977.

Pelroy leads his squad in both kickoff returns (he’s averaging 29.2 yards a return) and punt returns (15.3) and is third on the team in all-purpose yards with 221.

He has also recorded 10 tackles from his defensive back position.

Now 1-3 on the season, Montana Western returns to action Saturday, Sept. 20 when it hosts Montana State-Northern for Homecoming.

The Bulldogs will get a rematch with College of Idaho at home Nov. 1.

Tyler King

The pretenders to the crown have been banished. The once and future King has returned.

Healthy once again after redshirting during track season last year, University of Washington junior cross country runner Tyler King bolted out of the pack Friday, winning the men’s individual title at the UW-Seattle U Open.

The former Coupeville High School supernova covered a 4.5-mile course at Magnuson Park in 22 minutes, six seconds, claiming the title by three seconds.

Among the runners he beat was U-Dub teammate Aaron Nelson, an All-American last year.

The Huskies, who are trying to get back to the NCAA Championships as a team for the first time since 2009, were ranked 27th in the Top-30 preseason poll by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.

The UW women, who have reached nationals 17 of the last 19 years, are ranked 15th.

After a week-long training camp on the coast, the Huskies will next compete Sept. 20 in Seattle at the Sundodger Invitational.

One of Whidbey’s best graduated today.

Alexis Trumbull, who used to rule the softball diamond at Coupeville High School, flingin’ heat from the mound, capped a two-year run as a college player when she received her diploma from Skagit Valley College.

To mark the occasion, we offer a medley of photos from her time as a Cardinal — a period documented by the lens of mom Shelli.

Congratulations, Alexis. You remain awesome, as always.

Hunter Hammer -- solid gold.

Hunter Hammer — solid gold.

The Page Hit King is an All-American.

Coupeville High School grad Hunter Hammer, who now throws at Trinity Lutheran College, finished third in the discus at the NCCAA (National Christian College Athletic Association) outdoor track and field championships in Georgia Friday.

His throw of 46.46 meters was good enough to earn him All-American status, while scoring big points for his squad in the team battle.

Hammer also finished fifth in the event named after him — the hammer throw — with a hurl of 47.39.

He will wrap up his tournament with an appearance in the shot put final Saturday. He is seeded tenth in the field.

During his time as a Wolf, Hammer was a star basketball player and shattered most of the school’s throwing records.

He continued on as a thrower for Everett Community College for two seasons before following his throwing coach to Trinity.

Now this guy would freak ATM and King’s out.

Sure, he’s already been graduated for a couple of years now, but slip him in the lineup and maybe no one would notice and… Yeah.

Anyway, for one afternoon, former Coupeville High School hoops hotshot Jason Bagby was back on the court he once ruled.

It was the opening day of practice for a new Wolf season Monday, and the visiting royalty jumped in to show the young guns how the game was played.

Brings back memories of a few short seasons ago, when CHS was 16-4 and Cascade Conference champs.

And it hopefully inspired the current crop of hoops stars, many of whom now wear clothes designed by the former Wolf (https://www.facebook.com/Evergreenclothingco).

Be like Bags, and go kick some butt.
