Coffman thrills on Spanish gridiron

Posted in Football, tagged Black Demons, CHS Wolves, Dominic Coffman, football, Spain on April 9, 2024| Leave a Comment »

From Coupeville to Spain, Dominic Coffman continues to tear up the gridiron.

“The Dominator” is playoff-bound.

Coupeville grad Dominic Coffman, now playing football overseas in Spain, is headed to the postseason with the Las Rozas Black Demons.

Having completed a 7-1 regular season, the gridiron crew will carry a #2 seed into the playoffs and open on the road against the Barcelona Dragons.

Coffman, playing in his first season in Spain, has been a force on both sides of the ball.

The former Wolf has picked up 500+ yards as a running back, accounting for 38 points while frequently carrying would-be tacklers along with him for the ride.

On the defensive side Coffman has recorded 15 tackles and an interception.

During his days growing up in Coupeville, he was an All-Conference player and Northwest 2B/1B League MVP during football season, while advancing to state in three sports.

As a senior, Coffman contributed to a Wolf basketball team which went 16-0 in the regular season and won the program’s first district title in 50+ years.

He also competed in track and field, topping things off by running a leg on a 4 x 100 relay team, which finished 2nd in 2B at the state meet.

Former Wolf now running the Marauders

Jon Atkins

He’s movin’ on up.

Former Coupeville football coach Jon Atkins is now the Athletic Director at Mariner High School in Everett.

That’s a 4A institution which plays in Wesco.

Atkins, who is also an Assistant Principal at Mariner, made the job change public on Facebook Friday afternoon.

“Athletics has been a huge part of my life and now I get to serve in my dream job!” he wrote.

Atkins, who was also a girls’ basketball coach in Oak Harbor, worked the gridiron sidelines at Coupeville High School from 2016-2017.

He will be best remembered by Wolf Nation for posting a perfect record against archrival South Whidbey, leading Coupeville to back-to-back wins in the annual Bucket Game.

Coffman dominates on Spanish gridiron

He’s running wild.

Coupeville grad Dominic Coffman broke through the defense Saturday in Spain, crashing into the end zone with a pair of touchdown runs as he helped keep his gridiron squad undefeated.

Led by their American assassin, Las Rozas thumped visiting Camioneros de Coslada 58-13 to get to 5-0 on the season.

Both of Coffman’s scoring jaunts came on plays where the defense had a chance to bring him down and failed. Badly.

On the first run, the former Wolf cut to the right, bounced outside and blew past three would-be tacklers as he rambled nearly untouched to the promised land.

The second time around, Coffman started up the middle, before blowing through a pack of defenders, leaving them grasping at air as he finished his run.

“That’s two touchdowns for me! And there’s more where that came from!!”

The former Coupeville grad, who moved to Spain after graduation this past spring, was a three-sport star during his days in Cow Town.

He was a vital part of Wolf football, basketball, and track teams which went to the state championships, while he also earned multiple individual honors for his play.

The biggest of those was being tabbed as the Northwest 2B/1B League MVP for his play on the gridiron during his senior season.

“He was nothing but a class act!”

Posted in Everything changes, Football, tagged Athletic Director, Brock Hauck, football, Friday Harbor, Northwest League on March 1, 2024| Leave a Comment »

One of Coupeville’s most successful rivals is leaving the gridiron.

Brock Hauck has stepped down as Friday Harbor’s head football coach but will remain as the school’s athletic director.

“It was an extremely difficult decision but hopefully the right one,” Hauck said.

His counterpart in Coupeville expressed his appreciation for the Wolverines leader.

“Bummed by this news,” Bennett Richter said.

“As Brock’s opponent he has earned nothing but respect from me. His teams and staff were always well prepared, and he was nothing but a class act to me!

“I learned a lot about football being on the opposite side of him.”

Hauck, who led Friday Harbor to two Northwest 2B/1B League titles in the past three seasons, coached his final game (for now at least) in November, when his squad lost 32-14 to Kalama in the state playoffs.

He racked up more than a decade on the sideline, working as a defensive coordinator before becoming head coach in 2017.

In addition to coaching and working as AD, Hauck also teaches culinary classes at FHHS and is the school’s Capitol Projects Manager.

Tim Terrific flys high with Eagles

As one Wolf leaves Cheney, another appears.

Coupeville grad Mica Shipley is about to wrap her run as an NCAA D-I cheerleader at Eastern Washington University, but fellow CHS alum Tim Ursu is joining Eagle Nation.

The former Wolf Male Athlete of the Year, a two-sport standout during his time in Cow Town, has made the first cut for the EWU football team as a walk-on.

Ursu confirmed Wednesday he will be part of the Eagle squad for spring ball, and his performance there will determine if he advances to summer and fall camps.

“I still have to perform well, which I will,” he said with his normal quiet, understated confidence.

One of the hardest-working athletes to wear Coupeville’s red and black, Ursu is very much cut from the same cloth as the man he follows into D-I football.

That’s fellow safety Sean Toomey-Stout, who played several seasons at the University of Washington before taking a medical retirement this past season.

Ursu was a star football and track and field athlete during his time in Coupeville.

He played both ways on the gridiron, scoring 12 touchdowns as a senior while helping lead the Wolves to their first league title and trip to the state playoffs in three-decades plus.

While doing so, Ursu led the Wolves in receiving, was a solid third option on running plays, was the team’s primary kick returner, and was lights out on defense.

Playing in the backfield, he covered the entire gridiron, picking off passes, while also finishing the season as Coupeville’s #2 tackler.

Across two seasons of track, Ursu competed in eight different events, vying as a sprinter, a relay ace, a jumper, and a thrower.

His best work came in the 4 x 100, where he was part of a quartet which finished second at state while competing in stormy weather at the same EWU complex he’ll once again call home.
