Chase Anderson will be traveling East in June.

The Coupeville High School senior was named to the West Roster for the Earl Barden Classic, the annual all-star game which pits the top football players in classes 2A, 1A, 2B, and 1B.

The game will be played at Spokane’s East Valley High School Saturday, June 20, with a 1:00 PM kickoff.

Anderson, who was a First-Team All-Conference pick at three positions (quarterback, kicker, and linebacker), is listed as a running back on the all-star roster.

The West will be coached by Devin Snyder of Cascade Christian, while the East is led by Eric Berg of East Valley.

Coupeville’s top gun is the only Whidbey Island player and only Northwest 2B/1B League player to make the cut this year, and one of just two from this region, with Shia Webster of 2A Anacortes also included.

Two of Anderson’s teammates do have Coupeville connections, however, as cousins Lyal Viers and Andy Penrod from 1A Cedar Park Christian are both on the West roster as well.

Viers and Penrod are the sons of sisters (and CHS grads) Sarah and Stephanie Engle, respectively, while Andy’s dad is Videoville alumni Isaiah Penrod.

Grandparents include the “Dave’s” — former Coupeville Town Marshal Dave Penrod and the late, great Pastor Dave Engle.

For Anderson, the selection continues a trend of Wolf gridiron stars getting the call to the big game, as he follows in the footsteps of former Coupeville stars like Mike Bagby, Josh Bayne, Dominic Coffman, and Ryan Labrador.

The Rock will be repped at the season’s last game.

While no Coupeville or Oak Harbor players made the cut this year, South Whidbey senior quarterback Cody Redford has been selected to participate in the Earl Barden Classic.

The game, which goes down June 21 in Yakima, is an all-star event featuring seniors from 2A, 1A, 2B, and 1B football programs.

In the past, Coupeville stars such as Mike Bagby, Dominic Coffman, Josh Bayne, and Ryan Labrador have received the call.

Redford, a dual threat both as a runner and passer, led South Whidbey to back-to-back wins in the annual Bucket Game with Coupeville the past two seasons, and is currently playing basketball for the Falcons.

Among his projected teammates at the summer game, if everyone accepts their invite, are gridiron stars from two-time 2A state champ Anacortes, as well as 2B powers Onalaska and Napavine.

Also on the West roster are players from two other 1A teams Coupeville played this past fall — Klahowya and Cedar Park Christian-Bothell.

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.

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.
