As milestones go, it was a fairly quiet one.
Coupeville High School senior Hunter Smith already owns or shares seven football records, but late in last Friday’s home game against Charles Wright Academy, he pulled in yet a bit more of history.
His final snag of the game, on which he was denied a touchdown by a spectacularly blind ref, was his fifth catch of the game.
More importantly, it was the 100th reception of his stellar career.
While I can’t claim with absolute certainty he is the only Wolf to break the triple-digit receptions barrier, it seems to make absolute sense.
Smith has surpassed every CHS receiver in every category which matters, making it highly unlikely any of them reached the same milestone.
As Coupeville chases numerous team and individual offensive marks — senior QB Hunter Downes is angling for a few himself — the Wolves boast the #3 scoring offense among the eight Olympic/Nisqually League teams.
That number could take a large positive bounce this week, as CHS (2-2 overall, 0-1 in league play) heads to Vashon (0-4, 0-1).
The Pirates have the worst scoring defense in the league, and it’s not close, having been outscored 206-14 this season.
As you count down the hours until that game, take a gander at the season-to-date stats, as compiled by CHS coaches and posted on MaxPreps.
Keep in mind, though, that when you look at where Wolf players are ranked, it comes with one caveat — not all teams in the state are actively reporting stats.
