Big hits, big pics.

The Coupeville High School football season has been filled with plenty of both.

The Wolves have roared out to a 5-1 record as they head to Leavenworth for a Friday Night Lights matchup with Cascade.

Things started strongly back in the waning moments of summer, when the CHS gridiron squad excelled at a jamboree in Sultan.

The photos above and below, which come to us courtesy Wolf Mom Nikki Breaux, are from that event.

The Dominator … dominated.

Coupeville High School senior Dominic Coffman scored four touchdowns, recovered a fumble, and picked off a pass Friday as the 2B Wolves scorched 2A Bellingham 48-6.

For his efforts, the gridiron giant was honored by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, named as one of the group’s Athlete of the Week winners.

Each week during the school year, the WIAA tabs a male and female athlete from each of its classifications — 4A, 3A, 2A, 1A, 2B, and 1B.

Winners receive a letter of recognition from the WIAA Executive Director, a Certificate of Achievement, and a $25 DICK’S Sporting Goods gift card courtesy of Gesa Credit Union.

Coffman doubled his season output with his four-touchdown performance, scoring in multiple ways.

He smashed into the end zone twice on rushing attempts, blowing up Bellingham tacklers on 36 and three-yard runs.

Coffman also hauled in a 50-yard scoring strike from Wolf QB Logan Downes and returned a fumble he forced for another touchdown.

It was the first defensive score this season for the Wolves, who also added a safety in the rout.

With eight touchdowns through six games, Coffman is tied with fellow senior Tim Ursu for second-best on the team, trailing just Scott Hilborn, who has hit paydirt 10 times.

Coupeville is 5-1 heading into a road trip to Leavenworth to play 1A Cascade, the best start by a Wolf football team in years.

Rung by rung, we climb the ladder.

Fresh off a 48-6 drubbing of 2A Bellingham, the Coupeville High School football team jumps from #7 to #6 in the latest 2B overview from Evans Rankings.

Stats hound Matt Evans feeds his data into Newman, a diabolical computer likely bent on world domination, and it spits out its opinion every week.

After making a debut at #10 two weeks ago, the Wolves, who are 5-1, have climbed each week.

Coupeville’s next-door neighbor, 1A South Whidbey — the only team the Wolves have lost to this season — are ranked #8 among 1A schools.

And how does this compare to the RPI rankings compiled by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, which are “official?”

The WIAA has Coupeville at #8 in 2B and South Whidbey at #7 in 1A.

Personally, I prefer Newman, my favorite computer overlord.

His momma’s genes are kickin’ in.

Donavan Sellgren, son of former Coupeville sports sensation Misty Sellgren — one of the most-talented athletes I covered in the ’90s — is off to a strong start as he plays another season of college football.

The younger Sellgren, whose grandpa Vinny rocked the short shorts back in the day when he was a gridiron assistant coach at Coupeville High School, never played for the Wolves.

Donavan attended high school in Arlington, and now plays football for Rocky Mountain College in Montana.

But he’s still a part of Wolf Nation by blood, with his mom, uncle, aunt, and grandparents all being heavily involved with Coupeville athletics.

Rocky Mountain is off to a sizzlin’ 5-1 start to the season, and Donavan, a redshirt junior receiver, currently ranks fourth on the team with 12 receptions for 118 yards.

He’s pulled in 38 passes for 641 yards and four touchdowns during his time at the NAIA school, even with the pandemic altering things in the early going.

When he’s not on the field, Donavan studies business administration.

Time to be road warriors.

Six of seven games for Coupeville High School fall sports teams will be played away from Whidbey Island this coming week.

In fact, the only Wolf team to enjoy home cooking will be volleyball, which hosts Concrete Tuesday, before travelling to Mount Vernon Christian Thursday.

Both Wolf soccer teams play two games away from Cow Town, with the girls at La Conner Tuesday and MVC Thursday.

The male booters travel to Grace Academy Tuesday, before island-hopping Thursday with a trip to Friday Harbor.

But the longest trek of the week belongs to CHS football, which ambles down to Leavenworth to face Cascade under Friday Night Lights.

And cross country? With no meets on the schedule next week, they don’t have to step on a bus once.

As the Wolves prep for a week of listening to the wheels go round and round, a look at standings through Oct. 9:
