Nick Streubel is healthy and the college football world trembles.

After missing all but one game last year thanks to an injury, The Big Hurt is back in the lineup for the Central Washington University football squad and the Wildcats can not be beaten.

A 17-10 come-from-behind win over North Alabama Saturday lifts CWU, ranked #9 in the last NCAA D-II poll, to a crisp 8-0.

The Wildcats have three regular season games left, all against league foes who they beat the first time around.

Central hosts Azusa Pacific for Senior Night Oct. 28 in a game which will be streamed by ESPN3, then hits the road to face Simon Fraser and Humboldt State the next two weeks.

Streubel, a three-sport star (football, basketball, track and field) during his days wandering Coupeville’s campus, is a red-shirt sophomore.

With six games under his belt this season, he has logged time as a lineman in 13 college games during his career.

They were once Wolves, but now they rep the Wildcats, Golden Eagles and Blue Jays.

Three Coupeville High School football alumni are chasing the college football dream this fall, in three different states.

Nick Streubel is the oldest of the trio, and the one having the biggest impact.

The Big Hurt, who’s now sculpted like a Greek god (while boasting the silkiest flowing locks in all the land) is a red-shirt sophomore at Central Washington University.

Having bounced back from an injury which kept him sidelined last year, Streubel is a starter on an offensive line which has carried the Wildcats to a 3-0 start.

Their latest win came Saturday, when Gavin Todd booted a 42-yard field with a second left on the clock, lifting CWU to a 17-16 thriller over Azusa Pacific.

Central, which entered the game ranked #23 in the latest D-II rankings (Azusa was #22) improved to a flawless 2-0 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference.

Meanwhile, Jacob Martin is a freshman linebacker/special teams player at Feather River College in California and Zane Bundy is a freshman kicker at Tabor College in Kansas.

Four suited up Saturday, one hopes to play another day.

Former Coupeville High School stars turned college football studs Nick Streubel, Mitch Pelroy, Josh Bayne and Jake Tumblin closed out the regular season strongly Saturday.

Streubel, a redshirt freshman lineman, and his Central Washington University teammates came from behind to beat Dixie State 34-28 to reach .500.

The NCAA D-II Wildcats finished their season with back-to-back wins and exit at 5-5.

Tumblin and Bayne, true freshmen who played in the defensive backfield for Simon Fraser University this year, wrapped an 0-9 campaign.

The Clan fell 38-17 at Azusa Pacific Saturday.

Pelroy, a junior at Montana Western, played for a conference title in a game that came down to the final seconds.

While he and the Bulldogs, ranked #10 in the latest NAIA poll, came up just short, falling 24-17 to #6 Montana Tech, they still have playoff hopes.

Montana Western finished 7-3 and hopes to get an at-large berth when the playoff field is announced Sunday.

Montana Tech, which went from a 1-9 record in 2014 to a 9-1 mark this year, gets an automatic invite as the Frontier League champs.

Pelroy recorded a tackle and took back a kickoff for 19 yards in the loss.

He’s picked up 195 yards on nine returns this season.

They all hit the road, but only one is heading home a winner.

Two of three college football teams boasting former Coupeville High School players on their roster fell Saturday, but the one with the graybeard came away a winner.

Montana Western and Mitch Pelroy pulled out a come-from-behind 30-23 win against Eastern Oregon in La Grande, snapping a two-game losing streak.

Now 4-2, the Bulldogs have won eight of their last ten games going back to last season, but needed a blocked punt taken back for a touchdown with less than two minutes to play to escape this week.

Pelroy, a junior, brought back a kickoff for 22 yards, which is almost exactly his season average.

He’s returned seven kicks for 155 yards (22.1 average), giving him 755 return yards over his 26-game college career.

Pelroy has also amassed 38 tackles, 10 assists, 2.5 tackles for loss and a sack from his defensive back position.

Things didn’t go quite as well for Pelroy’s fellow CHS alumni, as lineman Nick Streubel and Central Washington were nipped 31-25 by Western Oregon in Monmouth. The Wildcats are 3-4 on the season.

Simon Fraser University, which carries two Wolves in Josh Bayne and Jake Tumblin, left Canada and was shut-out 19-0 in Rapid City by the South Dakota School of Mines. The Clan are 0-5.

Bayne notched a tackle in the loss, running his totals to 12 tackles and four assists. His fellow frosh has four tackles and five assists.

P.S. — Once again, a big thank you to Montana Western’s Haylee Sauer, who has been nice enough to let me use of her photos of Mitch during his college gridiron days.

Spikers one, gridiron warriors zero.

Of the five former Coupeville High School athletes competing in college sports this week, only one came away a winner.

That was Monica Vidoni, who saw action as her Rainy River Community College volleyball squad rolled to wins Oct. 7 against Hibbing and Oct. 9 against Fond du Lac.

None of her former classmates could say the same Saturday, as three teams, featuring four former Wolves, all fell in college football games.

Central Washington University and former CHS lineman Nick Streubel lost 49-44 to the South Dakota School of Mines, snapping their three-game winning streak.

Also taking a loss was Simon Fraser University, which was edged 38-35 by Dixie State.

The Clan boast two Wolf alumni, Josh Bayne and Jake Tumblin, and Bayne snared a tackle from his defensive back position.

Rounding out the Coupeville contingent was Mitch Pelroy, who brought back a kick-off 37 yards and had a tackle in Montana Western’s 37-30 overtime loss to second-ranked Southern Oregon.

It was the second straight loss for the Bulldogs, who had previously put together a seven-game winning streak covering parts of two seasons.

While her male counterparts are a combined 6-9 this year (Western is 3-2, Central 3-3 and Simon Fraser 0-4), Vidoni and her Voyageurs teammates are 14-11 on the season, 6-3 in conference play.

Vidoni, a freshman, has played in 11 sets over seven matches, compiling four kills and a dig.
