They lost, but they piled up some stats.
While the final score of Friday’s season opener wasn’t quite what the Coupeville High School football squad wanted, the Wolves had their moments.
And now, at least in the early stages of teams reporting in to Maxpreps.com, several players are among the best in class 1A.
Topping the chart are receiver C.J. Smith, who leads all receivers in yards gained, and kicker Zane Bundy, who was flawless on extra point attempts in his high school debut.
Not to be outdone, other Wolves like Jacob Martin, Lathom Kelley and Hunter Downes are firmly entrenched in the top three in their category after one game.
There’s a long season to play, but never skip a chance to celebrate your accomplishments along the way.
Current stats after one game (and, if you disagree with the numbers, talk to your coaches — they’re the ones who came up with these numbers, not me).
