The first tackles of a new season are on the horizon.

The Coupeville High School football squad travels to Sultan this Saturday, Aug. 31 for the Rumble in the Valley jamboree.

The Wolves, led by third-year head coach Bennett Richter, will square off with the host Turks and Cascade (Leavenworth) in an event scheduled to run from 11:00 AM-2:00 PM.

The jamboree is free for fans, but a Pug Dogs food truck will be on site to sell hotdogs and drinks, with a portion of the proceeds benefitting Sultan’s football program.

For those travelling to the jamboree, Sultan High School is located at 1000 Turk Drive.

Coupeville then opens the regular season the next Friday, Sept. 6, when it hosts non-conference foe Annie Wright in a 7:00 PM game.

Season opener offers unique challenge

There’s a new foe on the gridiron.

When the Coupeville High School football team opens its season at home Friday, Sept. 6, the team it welcomes to Mickey Clark Field will be one it’s never played before.

And also one which is fairly new to the whole Friday Night Lights experience.

Annie Wright, a private 1A school from Tacoma, is a member of the Nisqually League and well-known for being successful on the basketball court.

But the Gators are new to football, having debuted just last year with a mostly JV schedule.

Coached by the school’s Director of Athletics, Harvard grad Mike Finch, Annie Wright played one varsity contest, closing the season with a 26-13 loss at La Conner.

Now, the Gators are set to take a much-bigger step, as a team with just four seniors is slated to clash with Cascade Christian, East Jefferson, and Klahowya among others.

First up, however, is a trip to Whidbey to face Coupeville, which beat La Conner 48-6 and 43-12 last season.

But everything rolls on in sports.

The Wolves will have new faces in new places as Bennett Richter opens his third year at the helm of the CHS gridiron program.

La Conner has moved, at least temporarily, from 11-man football down to the 8-man game.

And Annie Wright, which offers programs for preschool-12th grade, is ready for its prime-time football closeup in Cow Town.

Seventeen days away and counting.

Turner earns gridiron promotion

Coupeville High School football has a new assistant coach, and he’s a familiar face.

Former Wolf player Alex Turner, who has been working with the program as a volunteer, has been hired to replace Brett Casey, who stepped down at the end of last season to focus on his work as a teacher.

The hire was confirmed Thursday by Coupeville Athletic Director Brad Sherman and will be official once approved by the school board at its next meeting.

CHS gridiron gurus are shuffling their duties, with head coach Bennett Richter moving to the offensive side of the ball, while assistant coach Bobby Carr has taken over the defense.

Turner, who played his senior season for Coupeville after suiting up for South Whidbey for several years, will now coach special teams while continuing to work with position players.

The 2019 CHS grad attended school and played sports in Cow Town as a middle school athlete and high school freshman, before moving South before his sophomore year.

He was an All-Conference lineman for the Falcons, and a successful wrestler.

After returning to Coupeville, Turner was a force on the football field for the Wolves, then qualified for the 1A state tourney as the school’s lone grappler, going 2-2 at Mat Classic XXXI in Tacoma.

To pay? Fine… To not pay? Divine!

Sometimes you pay, sometimes you don’t.

All middle school sports events in Coupeville remain free to watch as we head into a new school year, while it’s a split decision for high school games.

Regular season football, basketball, and volleyball contests require some moola to get in the door, while soccer, tennis, softball, baseball, track and field, and cross country are free.

Postseason contests are their own thing, and when we hit that part of the year, be sure to pop back over to the blog for info on what district, regional, or state officials will try and extract from you.

 

For regular season CHS sports which require payment, here’s the breakdown:

$7.00 — Adults and high school students without an ASB card

$5.00 — Visiting high school students with an ASB card

$5.00 — Senior citizens (62+)

$5.00 — Grade school (K-5)

Free — Children 5 and under and Coupeville Middle School/High School students with an ASB card
