“Get outta my way! I got burgers to cook after I score!!” (John Fisken photo)
They can’t spell his name right, but they did recognize his talent.
The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association picked Coupeville High School senior football sensation Josh Bayne as its 1A male athlete of the week for Week 10 of the fall season.
Bayne, who is identified as “Jos” on the WIAA’s official web site, was honored for his play in the Wolves 55-38 crunching of Bellevue Christian Nov. 7.
He scored six touchdowns against the Vikings — bringing his season total to 25 — rambling for 311 yards on the ground.
Bayne also caught two touchdown passes, recorded seven tackles, picked off a pass and recovered a fumble.
How complete was his domination?
Late in the game, it was rumored he was cooking hamburgers for the Coupeville Booster Club between plays, then sprinting back on the field just in time to take the hand-off.
The WIAA picks one male and one female athlete from each of the state’s classifications (4A, 3A, 2A, 1A, 2B, 1B) to honor each week.
Other winners for Week 10 included Aaron Roe of Jackson, who won the 4A state cross country title and Taylor Vadset of North Kitsap, who scored a pair of goals in a district girls’ soccer playoff win that lifted her team into the 2A state tourney.
