Prairie progeny earn football honors

Former Coupeville High School cheerleader Sarah (Engle) Viers now roots for son Lyal.

The prairie is strong in them.

Cedar Park Christian senior football captains Lyal Viers and Andy Penrod, part of the seventh generation of their family to have a connection to Coupeville, were honored recently for their play on the gridiron.

Viers was named as both the Offensive and Defensive MVP for the Emerald Sound Conference — a league which includes traditional powerhouse King’s — while Penrod was tabbed as a First-Team All-Conference wide receiver.

Cedar Park, which beat both Coupeville and South Whidbey in non-conference games this season, finished 4-6.

Viers and Penrod are the sons of sisters (and CHS grads) Sarah and Stephanie Engle, respectively, and 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, AKA the nicest human being I’ve ever met.

Andy Penrod snagged 23 passes for 475 yards and nine touchdowns, while Lyal Viers filled up the stat sheet on both sides of the ball.

He racked up 1,385 all-purpose yards, rushing 95 times for 598 yards and seven scores, while adding 32 receptions for 600 yards and four more trips to the end zone.

On defense, Viers had 37 solo tackles, 54 assists, three interceptions, and a fumble recovery to pace CPC.

They reached the end of the road, way down the road.

Playing Friday in Raymond, the Coupeville High School football team scored first, but couldn’t keep it going, ultimately falling 48-14 to Pe Ell/Willapa Valley in a loser-out, winner-to-state playoff tilt.

With the loss, the Wolves finish 1-8, while PWV gets to 7-3 and will find out its next opponent Sunday when the 16-team bracket for the 2B tourney is announced.

After traveling 100+ miles for the matchup with a District 4 powerhouse, Coupeville struck gold early, as Davin Houston hauled in a touchdown toss from Chase Anderson, plunging in for his sixth score of the season.

Unfortunately for the Wolves that was where the trips to the end zone ended, at least for a while, as PWV began to pound away on both sides of the ball.

The Titans tied things up, moved ahead, then piled on the points en route to a 27-7 halftime lead.

Another touchdown early in the third quarter stretched Coupeville’s deficit out to 35-7, before Anderson connected with Aiden O’Neill on a scoring strike to get the Wolves into double-digits.

With the penalties piling up for the visitors, PWV closed things out by punching in two more touchdowns in the late going to set the final score.

Coupeville loses six seniors, with O’Neill, Anderson, Marquette Cunningham, Jayme Carranza, Malachi Somes, and Camden Glover set to graduate next spring.

But the Wolves can return four of the six players who scored a touchdown this year, plus a bunch of heavy hitters such as Jackson Sollars, Ira Volpentesta, and Riley Lawless.

Rugged lineman Riley Lawless is slated to return next fall.

Final season scoring stats:

Touchdowns:

Chase Anderson – 9
Davin Houston – 6
Aiden O’Neill – 3
Liam Blas – 2
Nathan Coxsey – 1
Josh Stockdale – 1

PATs:

Anderson – 16

Conversions:

Houston – 1

Points:

Anderson – 70
Houston – 38
O’Neill – 18
Blas – 12
Coxsey – 6
Stockdale – 6

They’re marching to Menlo.

Coupeville High School football hits the road Friday, traveling 119 miles one way to clash with Pe Ell/Willapa Valley in a winner-to-state/loser-out playoff game.

The 6:00 PM game pits a 1-7 Wolves squad against a Titans team carrying a 6-3 mark.

It’s one of two crossover games featuring 2B schools from the Northwest 2B/1B League, with conference champ Friday Harbor (3-5) hosting Rainier (4-5) Saturday in Oak Harbor.

The winners of those games make the 16-team field for the state 2B playoffs, with the bracket for that tourney revealed Sunday, Nov. 9.

PWV and Rainier hail from the 12-team Central 2B League in District 4, with the former finishing third in the West division, and the latter third in the East.

As the higher ranked of the two teams, Pe Ell earned a home playoff game against the #2 team from the NWL, while Rainier was left to travel.

Here’s how Coupeville and PWV compare:

Coupeville:

Lost to Annie Wright 25-7
Lost to Cascade (Leavenworth) 30-19
Lost to Granite Falls 58-27
Lost to Cedar Park Christian 31-7

Island unity has carried them to the cusp of a gridiron title.

The Oak Harbor Football and Cheer League Seniors football squad, which features three Coupeville Middle School students, is a perfect 9-0 after destroying Bellingham 36-20 Saturday in a semifinals clash.

Now, the Wildcats (and their Wolf stars) head to Arlington next Saturday, Nov. 8 to play that town’s team in the championship game.

Despite traveling, Oak Harbor will be considered the home team in a game set to go down starting at 5:00 PM at Arlington High School.

Since Coupeville doesn’t have youth football programs, interested Wolves end up joining the North enders to begin their careers, before putting on the red and black once they hit high school.

Currently bouncing between towns are Coupeville Middle School students Max Myers, Diesel Eck, and Kamden Ratcliff.

Planning out their attack for Arlington.

Football has been more than a game for them.

Through big wins and tough losses, the Coupeville High School senior players and managers who were honored this past Friday grew as athletes, students, and young adults.

In their farewell speeches, they thanked parents, coaches, former players, athletic trainers, and more.

Jayme Carranza, who played three years for the Wolves, summed it up thusly:

“You taught me discipline on and off the field, taught me how to handle an amazing victory but also take a loss with pride.

“I’m forever grateful for the time, the mind and the energy you put into me and my football.”
