One was fun. Three was better.

Coupeville High School senior Colin Belliveau got his first taste of being a scorer for the Wolves Thursday and liked it so much he just kept on firing away.

By the time he was done, he had rung up a hat trick, and that, combined with four more goals for team scoring leader Abraham Leyva, powered Coupeville to a 13-3 shellacking of visiting Chimacum.

Their second straight blow-out of the Cowboys lifted the Wolf booters to 3-5 overall, 2-0 in Olympic League play.

They sit alone atop the league at the moment.

Things will get a bit tougher, though, with Coupeville headed to Klahowya Tuesday.

The Eagles are 8-1-2 overall, 1-0 in league play.

But thoughts of that first-place showdown were far off Thursday, as the Wolves overcame a rainy, windy day to rain down the most goals the squad has scored in a game in recent memory.

And, possibly, school history.

Junior Sebastian Davis and freshman William Nelson tallied two apiece in support of Leyva and Belliveau, while Loren Nelson and Joel Walstad rounded out the scoring attack.

Leyva now sits with 12 goals, while Belliveau, Davis, William Nelson and Walstad are tied for second with three apiece.

Colin Belliveau just seems like a good dude.

A friendly, easy-going guy, he fit right in after moving to Cow Town from Republic High School in Eastern Washington during his junior year.

Since becoming a Wolf, he’s tried his hand at football (transitioning from the 8-man game to the 11-man game) and soccer, and is a frequent presence at CHS events, loudly and proudly rooting for his classmates.

Belliveau also holds a place of distinction for the fact he’s VERY animated in the photos he pops up in. Take a look at the collage above and you’ll see what I mean.

That alone makes him a huge favorite here at Coupeville Sports headquarters.

After the basketball photo ran, he walked past me at a game, grinned broadly and said “Man, that camera knows just when to go off with me.”

Some guys try to be cool. Others just are.

Colin, who celebrates a birthday today, is obviously one of the latter kind.

So, a quick shout-out to our version of The Dude in “The Big Lebowski.

Like Jeff Bridges, Belliveau abides and makes it all look easy-peasy.

I know Republic misses him, but he’s a part of Wolf Nation now, and we’re very happy we got the chance to meet him.
