Hard-hitting, fumble-causing Sean Toomey-Stout, a contender to play in the All-State game, was also honored by North Sound Conference coaches.
Well, this is a nice bonus.
Despite not playing a single league game this season, the Coupeville High School football squad still landed two players on the All-Conference team.
The Wolves chose to step away from the North Sound Conference for a year, to give a young, inexperienced team time to build and mature.
It worked out nicely, as CHS went 5-4, claiming the program’s first winning record since 2005, but the decision seemed to deny any of the Wolves a chance to be honored by league coaches.
But not so fast.
Hoping to get his seniors consideration for the All-State game, Coupeville Athletic Director Willie Smith approached his league counterparts and hit pay-dirt.
Not only were the AD’s in support of making sure the Wolves remained viable in the All-State process, but they turned around and voted two of them onto the All-Conference team.
Sean Toomey-Stout was named to the First Team as a Specialist, while also being honored as a Second Team pick for his play in the secondary.
Fellow senior Andrew Martin was tabbed as a Second Team player as both a running back and linebacker.
Selections to the 2A/1A/B All-State game, known as the Earl Barden Classic, will be announced later.
The All-Conference honors topped Coupeville’s season-ending football banquet Wednesday night, as Wolf coach Marcus Carr and staff honored their team.
Dawson Houston, Martin, Gavin Straub, Toomey-Stout, and Gavin Knoblich received four-year awards for playing every season of their high school career, while 25 players and two managers lettered.
