It slipped away.
The Coupeville High School football team carried a lead into the halftime locker room Friday night, but couldn’t quite seal the deal in its home opener.
Up 13-8 on visiting Cascade (Leavenworth), the Wolves, who lost starting quarterback Chase Anderson to a first-half injury, eventually fell 30-19 in the non-conference clash at Mickey Clark Field.
The loss drops Coupeville to 0-2 on the season, with a road trip to Granite Falls up next on the schedule.
The 2B Wolves play 1A schools in five of their first six games this season.
The Wolves chase down a Cascade runner.
After being limited to a single touchdown by week #1 foe Annie Wright, Coupeville hit pay dirt three times on its home turf.
Anderson broke off a massive 70+ yard touchdown run, scampering away from a group of Cascade tacklers, with Liam Blas and Davin Houston also crashing into the end zone for six points apiece.
It was Houston’s second score of the campaign.
With Anderson sidelined, backup quarterback Nathan Coxsey saw his first extended tour of duty under center and the sophomore held up well in the spotlight.
Marquette Cunningham enjoys his job.
