“We are the Wolves!! Fear our bite!!” (Photo courtesy Bob Martin)

This is the future.

Take a look at the beautifully-crafted black and white photo at the top of this article (go ahead, click and enlarge it) and you’re seeing the faces that will one day shine under Friday night lights.

They are the newest edition of the Coupeville Middle School football squad (or, at least the ones who were there for spring practice and a group photo) and they are hungry.

Hungry to get better.

Hungry to win.

Hungry to pick up the mantle laid down by Nick Streubel and Josh Bayne and Jake Tumblin, and by Jason McFadyen and Virgil Roehl before them, and by Mitch Aparicio and Chuck Hardee and Kit Manzanares and Brad Sherman and Murph Cross and Jack Sell and every Coupeville gridiron warrior that came before them.

They are the Wolves.

They are the present and the future, and they’re ready to begin their journey.

The next generation is already here.

Making their debut at halftime of the CHS girls’ basketball game Tuesday night, the youngest members of the Coupeville Boys and Girls Club hoops program made a solid debut.

While they came dangerously close to hitting a basket on the regulation 10-foot hoops, they also displayed some fancy dribbling skills and a very loose interpretation of traveling.

Roving photo man John Fisken caught these photos for us, and, who knows, come back in 10 years and we may have just gotten our first glance at a bevy of future Wolf stars.

“It was a good day!!”

More like great day.

Closing their season in style, the Coupeville Middle School football squad savaged host Sultan 46-0 Thursday, avenging an earlier season loss to the Turks.

The first time the two schools met, it was much different.

“The last time we met Sultan it was our first and only home game, most players had less than 24 hours of football under their belts and we were beat; it wasn’t pretty,” said CMS coach Bob Martin. “This time the story was a bit different.

“Our young men practiced six days a week, conditioned just about every day, and showed Sultan the results of what hard work and dedication can accomplish,” he added. “It was a good day.”

Coupeville came out ready to rumble, stripping the ball away from Sultan on the opening kickoff.

One play later, the Wolves scored their first touchdown and the rout was on.

“Our offense and defense were very solid; we scored on almost every possession and limited them to no more than five first downs,” Martin said. “It was a total team effort, everyone knew what their responsibilities were and did it.”

Chris Battaglia closed out a stellar eighth grade season by rumbling for 265 yards on the ground, while Teo Keilwitz (50-yard TD) and Sean Toomey-Stout (20-yard pick six) both chipped in with game-busting plays.

The Wolf defense hit Sultan from every side, and always with intensity.

Toomey-Stout (seven tackles), Keilwitz (6), Koa Davison (5), Jaushon Clay (5), Jake Pease (4) and Battaglia (4 tackles, 3 assists) all made an impact.

Nipped in Langley!!

Against all odds, they almost pulled out a win.

Almost.

Despite losing four fumbles, two when they were in scoring position, the Coupeville Middle School football squad came dangerously close to pulling off a comeback win Wednesday in Langley, before falling by three points.

The very-young Wolves kept on coming hard into the final moments.

CMS launched an onside kick with a minute to go, but couldn’t quite come up with the ball for one final drive.

“It looked as though we had it (the ball), but after a little wrestling, we came up short,” said Wolf coach Bob Martin. “A little running, a little passing, it was our game to win, but our errors were the deciding factor.”

Coupeville, which is now 0-3, returns to action Wednesday, Oct. 8 when it travels to Granite Falls.

“Am I proud? You bet!”

Coupeville Middle School football coach Bob Martin has a very raw team at his command, but, for the second week in a row, the Wolves came dangerously close to an upset win.

An inability to convert PAT’s cost CMS in the end, letting host Port Townsend slip away with a 14-12 win. But, other than the final score, the day was one full of highlights for the Wolf faithful.

“We dominated the first half; the team did good,” Martin said. “We have a very young, very inexperienced team, all of who attend practice six days a week.

“They are progressing, they know their responsibilities and are motivated to excel and are a great group of kids to coach!”

Eighth grader Chris Battaglia carried the load on offense, racking up 100 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the ground. He also brought back a punt 30 yards and recovered a fumble on defense.

It was the second straight game he had recorded two touchdowns.

Teo Keilwitz (26 yards) and Sean Toomey-Stout (13) backed up Battaglia, while Wolf quarterback Shane Losey hooked up with Luke Martin for a 15-yard reception.

Battaglia and Jake Pease paced the CMS defense, collecting seven tackles apiece, with Toomey-Stout, Keilwitz and Jaushon Clay each picking up six.

Losey (3), Martin (2), Dawson Sorrows (2), Josh Robinson (2) and Gavin Knoblich (1 assist) all contributed, with Losey tacking on a team-high six assists and Toomey-Stout picking off a Port Townsend pass.
