Coupeville Sports

From Coupeville to Spain, Dominic Coffman continues to tear up the gridiron.

“The Dominator” is playoff-bound.

Coupeville grad Dominic Coffman, now playing football overseas in Spain, is headed to the postseason with the Las Rozas Black Demons.

Having completed a 7-1 regular season, the gridiron crew will carry a #2 seed into the playoffs and open on the road against the Barcelona Dragons.

Coffman, playing in his first season in Spain, has been a force on both sides of the ball.

The former Wolf has picked up 500+ yards as a running back, accounting for 38 points while frequently carrying would-be tacklers along with him for the ride.

On the defensive side Coffman has recorded 15 tackles and an interception.

During his days growing up in Coupeville, he was an All-Conference player and Northwest 2B/1B League MVP during football season, while advancing to state in three sports.

As a senior, Coffman contributed to a Wolf basketball team which went 16-0 in the regular season and won the program’s first district title in 50+ years.

He also competed in track and field, topping things off by running a leg on a 4 x 100 relay team, which finished 2nd in 2B at the state meet.

He’s running wild.

Coupeville grad Dominic Coffman broke through the defense Saturday in Spain, crashing into the end zone with a pair of touchdown runs as he helped keep his gridiron squad undefeated.

Led by their American assassin, Las Rozas thumped visiting Camioneros de Coslada 58-13 to get to 5-0 on the season.

Both of Coffman’s scoring jaunts came on plays where the defense had a chance to bring him down and failed. Badly.

On the first run, the former Wolf cut to the right, bounced outside and blew past three would-be tacklers as he rambled nearly untouched to the promised land.

The second time around, Coffman started up the middle, before blowing through a pack of defenders, leaving them grasping at air as he finished his run.

“That’s two touchdowns for me! And there’s more where that came from!!”

The former Coupeville grad, who moved to Spain after graduation this past spring, was a three-sport star during his days in Cow Town.

He was a vital part of Wolf football, basketball, and track teams which went to the state championships, while he also earned multiple individual honors for his play.

The biggest of those was being tabbed as the Northwest 2B/1B League MVP for his play on the gridiron during his senior season.

The Dominator continues to capture the spotlight.

Coupeville grad Dominic Coffman, who now lives and plays football in Spain, is front and center again thanks to First Down Magazine, which covers American-style gridiron action across Europe.

The publication publishes stories on players and action from 15 different leagues.

This time their writers are swinging that spotlight onto Coffman, who has been an immediate impact player on both sides of the ball for the Las Rozas Black Demons.

The article covers his exploits in Cow Town, where he was a football, basketball, and track and field star who joined Class of 2023 mate Jonathan Valenzuela in being the first Wolf boys to advance to state in three sports since at least the ’70s.

From Coupeville to Spain, Dominic Coffman continues to tear up the gridiron.

He’s conquering one country after another.

Coupeville grad Dominic Coffman made his Spanish gridiron debut Saturday and immediately blew up the field.

The former Northwest 2B/1B League MVP now suits up for the Las Rozas Black Demons, a semi-pro football team in Madrid.

The squad competes in Liga Nacional de Fútbol Americano (LNFA), the first-tier division for American football in Spain.

In his debut game, Coffman pulled in a swing pass and turned it into a 70+ yard touchdown romp.

In typical Dominator fashion, he blew up the first dude who had a chance to tackle him, then ran right through another would-be tackler as he hit the jets down the right sideline.

Not content to be a one-dimensional superstar, Coffman also blocked a punt as his team won its opener 35-6.

After going to state in three different sports at CHS — football, basketball, and track and field, where he earned a 2nd place medal in the 4 x 100 — he made the jump to a different continent.

So far, so good.

“Just blessed to be here,” Coffman said.

“Thanks to Bennett (Richter), Brett (Casey), my mom and dad. To my teammates, without you guys I don’t know where I’d be right now.

“I will keep playing for the small town in Washington.”
