The future is here.

Kicking off their season on a sunny fall Wednesday, the Coupeville Middle School football squad put in strong work, while providing wandering paparazzi with plenty of photo ops.

Dylan Estes will wreck a dude.

The Coupeville Middle School football player is far from the biggest player on the field, but he makes up in heart what he might currently be shy of in inches.

That was on display several times Wednesday during the Wolves season opener against visiting Sequim, most notably when Estes chased down, then body-slammed a receiver twice his size.

Hustle plays like that, and a late offensive surge, were the highlights for CMS, as it fell 36-12 to a much-larger foe.

Coupeville rallied for both of its touchdowns in the fourth quarter, refusing to go down quietly.

Jake Mitten, who led the Wolf attack all afternoon, used a drop-the-shoulder-and-inflict-some-damage running style to rip off Coupeville’s first touchdown of the season, on an eight-yard plunge.

He then successfully pulled off an on-sides kick, allowing the Wolves to get the ball right back.

CMS quarterback Cade Golden promptly took advantage of the opportunity, guiding the Wolves down the field, before hooking up with Sage Downes on a touchdown pass to the left corner.

On the scoring play, Golden avoided a potential sack, then dropped the ball right onto Downes fingertips, giving the Wolf receiver a perfect ball to snag.

Sequim put the game away in the second quarter, using a very effective passing attack centered around a tall receiver, punching in three of their five touchdowns.

Coupeville’s own passing attack picked up the pace as the game went on, with Golden hooking up with Mitten several times.

A number of dropped passes muted the Wolf attack, however.

Along with Mitten, who ran like a battering ram on the same field where his uncle, Jason McFadyen, led the 1990 CHS gridiron squad to an undefeated season, Coupeville got big runs from Dakota Eck and Ben Smith.

Mitten was a two-way warrior, also dropping the Sequim QB on back-to-back plays where he bull-rushed the line and the blockers melted away under his assault.

The same with Kalia Littlejohn and the red-hot CHS booters.

Time to make some history.

Tuesday could be a landmark day in Coupeville High School’s two-year-plus run in the 1A Olympic League.

Both the Wolf volleyball and girls’ soccer squads travel to Silverdale for first-place showdowns with the beast of the league, Klahowya.

Win and Coupeville makes a huge statement, claims sole possession of the top slot and breaks an undefeated run.

The Eagle spikers and booters, both 2-0 this season, have each gone 14-0 in league competition since the four-team conference began in 2014.

That puts them second only to Coupeville girls’ basketball, which is 18-0 through the first two winters of play.

Between them, the two schools boast five teams unbeaten in league play, with Klahowya boys’ soccer (12-0) and Coupeville girls’ tennis (11-0) safe at least until the spring.

The Wolves are entering Tuesday’s tilts with the strongest teams each program has boasted since jumping ship from the 1A/2A Cascade Conference.

The booters, who have one of the the state’s two leading scorers in Mia Littlejohn (16 goals in six games), have won three straight and four of their last five.

Coupeville’s spikers, meanwhile, are coming off of a huge win over 2A North Mason and are hitting the road for the first time ever under new head coach Cory Whitmore.

Where all four of the CHS varsity squads sit heading into Tuesday’s bouts:

Football:

School League Overall
Cascade Christian 1-0 4-0
Charles Wright 1-0 2-2
Klahowya 1-0 3-1

Downes

Hunter Smith

   Hunter Smith snagged the other two scoring strikes, giving him six TDs on the season.

This one was a heart-breaker.

Coming off of back-to-back blowout losses, the Coupeville High School football squad made huge strides Friday night, but fell just short in its conference opener.

Unable to hold on to a four-point halftime lead, the Wolves were clipped 23-20 by Charles Wright Academy in a game played in the wilds of Tacoma.

The loss drops Coupeville to 1-3 overall, 0-1 in Olympic/Nisqually League play.

CHS will get a chance to even its record with back-to-back home games the next two weeks, facing Vashon Island and Port Townsend.

With the 1A Olympic League having joined up with the Nisqually League to form an eight-team super conference for football, Coupeville found itself facing off with one of its new rivals to kick off the seven-game league season.

And while the Tarriers scored first, the Wolves hit right back, using an effective air game to pick apart the Charles Wright secondary.

Junior quarterback Hunter Downes rifled three touchdown passes, two to Hunter Smith and one to Jacob Martin, doubling his season output.

The first one went 34 yards on a Hunter-to-Hunter connection, while the second scoring pass, also to Smith, staked the Wolves to a 13-9 halftime lead.

Downes hit Martin for a second-half score as well, but Charles Wright answered with two touchdowns of its own to hold off Coupeville.

The three passing touchdowns was one off the school’s single-game record of four, jointly held by current CHS offensive coordinator Brad Sherman (2001) and Wolf legend Corey Cross (1971).

Cameron Toomey-Stout picked off a Tarrier pass to pace the CHS defense.

In other league games, Klahowya clocked Vashon Island 35-14 and Cascade Christian clobbered Chimacum 47-19.

Port Townsend and Bellevue Christian wrap up the first weekend of league play when they meet Saturday.

Current standings:

School League Overall
Cascade Christian 1-0 4-0
Charles Wright 1-0 2-2
Klahowya 1-0 3-1
Bellevue Christian 0-0 0-3
Port Townsend 0-0 1-2
Chimacum 0-1 1-3
Coupeville 0-1 1-3
Vashon Island 0-1 0-4

Come together through sports.

Coupeville School District students in grades 4-6 can sign up to join the Wolf Buddies program this fall and spend quality time with current CHS volleyball and football stars.

For the low, low cost of just $5, students get to participate in two activity dates and attend CHS games where they will get to sit in special seating and take part in pre-game events.

The program is set up to “provide mentorship and positive interactions between elementary students and high school athletes.”

Athletes gain leadership skills and accountability while young students benefit socially, emotionally, and academically from interacting with an additional positive role model.

The activity days are Oct. 12 and 19, from 2:45-3:30 each day.

Students involved will be allowed to miss the final 45 minutes of the school day to participate.

Volleyball buddies will attend matches Oct. 18 and 25 (they can be at either or both), while football buddies get their game in the spotlight Nov. 4.

Students will be present for the pre-game speech in the locker room, form the tunnel on the court/field, and sit in a designated section.

Admission for the student is FREE.

However, students MUST be accompanied by an adult in order to attend the games. Adults will need to pay admission.

To sign up your student, either print and fill out the application below or obtain an official-looking version of the application from the office at CHS, CMS or CES or at the ticket table at tonight’s Wolf volleyball match (4:00 varsity/5:15 JV and C-Team).
