Coupeville represented in the Eastern heat.

On a sunny Saturday where temps in Yakima crested into the mid-80’s, recent Wolf grad Dominic Coffman participated in the Earl Barden Classic.

The game is an annual all-star event for senior football players from classes 1B, 2B, 1A, and 2A.

In what was termed as “the hardest-fought game in the history of this football game” by event organizers, the East pulled out an 8-6 win in overtime.

Coffman, the Northwest 2B/1B League Offensive MVP during his final season at CHS, had two carries as a running back for the West team.

He also recorded five tackles, delivering several big hits, while “locking up my whole right side on defense.”

The game was scoreless after four quarters of play, with each team having a potential touchdown waved off by antsy refs.

In overtime, the East scored when Kaleb Hernandez of Royal shot in from three yards out, then added a two-point conversion run.

The West put points on the board with a one-yard plunge by Montesano quarterback Jaden McElravy.

Its two-point conversion failed, however, as the East swarmed Mount Baker running back Marcques George right in front of the goal line.

It was the fifth-straight win for the East, which was led by defensive MVP Jaden Radke of Okanogan.

By playing in the all-star game, Coffman follows in the footsteps of former Coupeville greats such as Mike Bagby (2006), Josh Bayne (2015), and Ryan Labrador (2019).

He was one of only two players selected from this region, joining Adriaan Castro of 2A Anacortes.

Coffman, a First-Team All-League pick on both sides of the ball, scored a team-high 14 touchdowns during his senior season.

Picking up most of his yards as a rusher after first slamming into, and knocking over would-be tacklers, he helped the Wolves tie the program record for most TD’s on the ground (26), first set back in 2014.

Coupeville went 7-2, won its first league title since 1990, and advanced to the state playoffs for the first time in 32 years under first-year head coach Bennett Richter.

They’re winners, every season

They are part of an elite fraternity.

Having earned their ticket to a state championship event this spring, Coupeville High School seniors Dominic Coffman and Jonathan Valenzuela are the first Wolf boys to go to the big dance in three sports in more than three decades.

The duo both started for a CHS football team which clashed with Onalaska this fall – the first Wolf gridiron squad to make the state playoffs since 1990.

Jump back to their junior campaigns, and Valenzuela and Coffman came off the bench for a Coupeville boys’ basketball team which carried a 16-0 mark to state.

When Brad Sherman’s program broke through in the winter of 2022, winning league and district titles before vying with top-seed Kalama and Lake Roosevelt at state, it was the first such trip for the school’s male hoops stars since ’88.

Now, this spring, Valenzuela is one of Coupeville’s top hitters for a baseball team slated to play Toledo Saturday in Castle Rock.

The last visit to state for the Wolf diamond dogs was 2014.

Coffman is slated to be in Yakima May 25-27 for the state track meet, where he will compete in the high jump and 4 x 100 relay.

Last year he qualified in the same events — though the season finale was in Cheney — bringing home a 2nd place medal for his work with the relay squad.

While Valenzuela and Coffman are the first Wolf boys to make it to state in three sports in quite a while, Coupeville’s female athletes have done it several times during that time frame.

Allison Wenzel, who graduated in 2018, went to the state basketball tourney as a sophomore, made it to volleyball’s big dance as a junior, then PR’d in the discus at state as a senior.

Before that, Wolf girls earned state berths in volleyball, basketball, and softball during the 2001-2002 school year, with numerous players such as Ashley Ellsworth-Bagby, Sarah Mouw, and Tracy Taylor appearing on all three teams.

Your money can help put Dominic Coffman in the spotlight.

The Coupeville High School senior was selected to play in the Earl Barden Classic — the All-State football game for players from 2A, 1A, 2B, and 1B schools.

The game is set for Saturday, June 24 in Yakima.

But first Coffman, like all players in the game, needs to sell tickets to the event.

Whether you plan on making the trek to Yakima or just want to help support the Wolf three-sport athlete, you can nab a ticket for $10.

You can also make a donation, if that’s your preference.

To obtain tickets and support Coupeville’s gridiron standout, text Coffman at (360) 969-3227 or email him at Coffmandominc@gmail.com.

The selection to the All-State game is a rare honor, with only three other Wolves getting the call in the last two decades — Mike Bagby (2006), Josh Bayne (2015), and Ryan Labrador (2019).

Coffman was the Offensive MVP of the Northwest 2B/1B League this fall, and a First-Team All-League pick on defense for his work at linebacker.

He scored a team-high 14 touchdowns while picking up most of his rushing yards after first contact, helping the Wolves finish 7-2.

CHS football won its first league title since 1990, and advanced to the state playoffs for the first time in 32 years.
