Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do when CJ Smith comes for you?

Maybe ask him for his autograph?

The Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Famer is back in the news, as his law enforcement career continues to blossom.

Smith, the oldest of Charlotte Young and Chris Smith’s three children, was sworn in as a deputy Monday with the Spokane County Sheriff’s Department.

The 27-year-old, who recently celebrated his first wedding anniversary with fellow former Wolf superstar Sylvia (Hurlburt) Smith, previously worked for the Mercer Island Police Department for four years.

CJ arrived in Coupeville midway through his sophomore year after a family move, and immediately became one of the linchpins for Wolf sports teams.

He played football, basketball, and baseball at CHS, with his biggest impact on the diamond, where he pitched the Wolves to their first league title in 25 years.

“Captain Cool” went on to play baseball at Green River College alongside lil’ bro Hunter, where he earned his degree, and also pulled a stint as JV diamond coach for his alma mater.

CJ’s swearing in comes on the heels of sister Scout being hired as the new JV girls’ basketball coach at CHS.

Try to escape the iron grip of Riley Lawless? As if. (Photos by JohnsPhotos.net)

A mere 29 years ago, Sylvester Stallone stared into the camera while making Judge Dredd and intoned, “I am the law!”

And while it’s probably fairly unlikely that current Coupeville High School sophomore Riley Lawless has ever watched that 1995 “cinema classic,” he’s upholding Sly’s mantra.

Mainly by making sure no one, and I mean no one, gets away from his tackles on the gridiron.

As seen in the pics above and below, Lawless (and his Grip o’ Death) is one huge reason the Wolf defense has sparked CHS football to a 4-1 start this season.

George Spear finds a new gear. (Morgan White photo)

It’s been a pretty good week for George Spear.

The Coupeville High School junior was selected as Homecoming royalty last Friday, then he went out and lapped everyone Wednesday.

Competing at a three-team cross country meet on Friday Harbor, Spear ran away with an individual title, finishing 24 seconds ahead of his nearest rival.

Who happened to be his teammate, sophomore Kenneth Jacobsen, as the Wolves claimed the top six slots in the boy’s race.

Needless to say, that propelled Coupeville to a team title as well, as it finished with 15 points to Friday Harbor’s 46 and Orcas Island’s 73.

Coupeville coach Elizabeth Bitting was thrilled to see Spear surge to the front of the pack on the 5,000-meter coure.

“It was so well deserving!” she said. “He fought so hard for it! Once they took off, he was focused!”

On the girl’s side of things, the Wolves were led by third-place finisher Aleera Kent and nabbed six of the top 10 finishes.

Friday Harbor, with individual winner Isabel Bashaw, compiled just enough premium times to nip Coupeville for the team title, however, edging out the Wolves 26-31.

CHS coach Elizabeth Bitting got to drive in style on Friday Harbor. No word on whether she was able to smuggle her ride back on to the ferry.

The race was unique in that it featured the three island schools from the Northwest 2B/1B League.

Add in an elegant course, and Bitting came away impressed.

“It was such a beautiful day,” she said. “Only schools from the islands attended and they all ran amazing!

“What a difference to run a race, work hard at it, but have the cushion of an all-grass course to run on.

“Just what the legs needed! We look forward to returning next season.”

Before then, the Wolves will hit the trail again this weekend, joining their middle school counterparts in trekking to Granite Falls Saturday for the 4th annual Mountain Loop Invitational.
