Shane LOsey

  Shane Losey connected with Jonathan Thurston on a pair of long bombs Monday night.

This is Port Townsend’s year on the gridiron.

That much is fact, as the RedHawks are running amuck at every level.

But, while the Coupeville High School JV football squad couldn’t derail Port Townsend Monday, falling 52-12 on the road, the young guns did put up some highlights.

Cameron Toomey-Stout torched the RedHawks for a touchdown on the ground, leaving would-be tacklers in his wake as he darted and cut his way to pay dirt.

The Wolves then added a second big play score, with freshman quarterback Shane Losey connecting with receiver Jonathan Thurston on a 55-yard touchdown strike.

The Losey to Thurston connection worked well all night long, as the duo also hooked up for a 35-yard pass-and-catch.

When Coupeville wasn’t slingin’ the ball air-borne, the Wolves had a pretty good one-two punch working on the ground.

Teo (Keilwitz) ran lights out on their defense. He was a work horse,” said CHS coach Ryan King. “Tavian (Woolett) ran the ball pretty well for us, too.

“Overall, the boys played a really great game,” he added. “Couldn’t be more proud of them.”

Monday was football night in Cow Town, as the Coupeville High School JV gridiron warriors tangled with visiting Sequim.

Along for the ride was travelin’ photo man John Fisken, who was kind enough to provide us with the pics above.

Thurston

   Some of their biggest cheers came when Jonathan Thurston (6), seen here in an earlier game, took a pick-six back 70+ yards.

We’re not going to dwell on the score.

Monday’s JV football game pitted the smallest 1A school in the state (Coupeville) against a much-larger 2A school (Sequim) that boasts three times as many students in its population.

Therefore, if I tell you the visitors departed Whidbey with a 61-20 victory, it’s not a total surprise.

But, we’re not going to dwell on that.

The crowd of fans, which eventually filled a good chunk of the CHS bleachers by midway through the game, didn’t.

The enthusiastic Wolf cheerleaders, who stayed peppy through the cold and the big scoring swings, didn’t.

So, why should we?

Instead, let’s focus on what went right.

Three plays, in particular, stand out. One on defense, one on offense and one on special teams, since the Wolves hit pay dirt with each of their three units.

Down 13-0, Jonathan Thurston revived the Wolf faithful midway through the first quarter when he stepped in front of a Sequim pass.

Snagging it, he juggled the ball for a second, then took his lanky body hurtling down the sideline, one rambling step ahead of his pursuers.

70-odd yards later, he was in the end zone, with the CHS cheerleaders, all 20+ in attendance, running madly to get down and celebrate with Thurston and Co.

Jump forward to the second quarter and it was time for a bit of bedazzlement from Tavian Woolett and the return team.

Snatching the kickoff with conviction, the Wolf freshman took one slow step and then about 31 really quick ones as he took the return to the house, leaving Sequim’s tacklers grasping at air as Woolett flew by like a bolt of lightning.

Coupeville capped their scoring ways with a fourth quarter hookup between freshman QB Shane Losey and ultra-slippery Cameron Toomey-Stout.

Having spent a chunk of the game on the sideline with a hurting wrist, Toomey-Stout, the matinee idol of Wolf football, made ’em swoon one more time, diving into the end zone with conviction and just a hint of style.

Hard-charging Jake Hoagland, who had gone down swinging hard on both sides of the ball all night long, powered over the left side for the two-point conversion to close out the scoring.

The scoreboard didn’t tell the entire story.

While the Coupeville High School JV football squad may have fallen 24-0 to visiting South Whidbey Tuesday, there were more positives than negatives.

“Game was closer than you think,” said CHS coach Ryan King. “Overall, these young kids played so well and they fought till the very end. Scoreboard may say differently, but who cares.

“Watching these young guys play through pain, play tired, pretty much give it their all, that’s a win for me,” he added. “What I saw tonight was the future of this program and as they keep putting in the work and we get things clicking, the future is very bright.”

While the Wolves didn’t crack the end zone, their offense did move the ball fairly consistently, with freshman quarterback Shane Losey hooking up with receivers Cameron Toomey-Stout, Tavian Woolett and Jake Hoagland for big plays.

Providing balance, freshman Chris Battaglia “ran the ball really well.”

On the defensive side, the Wolves brought pressure from all sides, especially after halftime.

“Man, I can’t even tell you how proud I am of their defense,” King said. “To never give up and to hold them scoreless the whole second half and to come up with huge stops.”

Woolett and Hoagland picked off passes, Ethan Marx “came up huge for us and made some great plays” and the Wolf linebackers were strong all game.

That unit includes Battaglia, Losey, Teo Keilwitz and Jacob Smith, who exited the game with a possible broken hand.

King also praised his d-line unit of Tyler McCalmont, Ryan Labrador, Matt Stevens, Axel Partida, Jake Pease, Josh Robinson and James Vidoni.

“They really brought the pressure,” King said. “I can’t say who had the best game cause they all did.”

Wednesday evening, the Coupeville High School football team officially moved one month away from the first day of practice (Aug. 19) and marked the occasion by putting on helmets and pads.
