Freshman James Vidoni (65) has chipped in with two tackles this season.

One more game to pile up some stats.

The Coupeville High School football squad (4-5) will close out the 2014 season Friday with a non-conference home game against Bellevue Christian (1-8).

Kickoff is 7 PM and the Wolves will look to close with a roar.

A win would give CHS the highest win total in coach Tony Maggio’s three years at the helm, and the game will be the final chance for seniors such as Josh Bayne and Joel Walstad to add to their already-impressive season stats.

Where they and their teammates sit through nine games:

Offense:

Passing:

Joel Walstad 101 completions for 1,407 yards (#4 in 1A) with 14 TDs and 10 INTs

Junior Wiley Hesselgrave

Junior Wiley Hesselgrave has seven TD’s this season, second on the team.

They started the 2013 season with them. They’ll end the 2014 season with them.

Bellevue Christian is coming back to Whidbey, as the Coupeville High School football squad will get one more game for its seven seniors this Friday, Nov. 7.

The recently-scheduled non-conference game (7 PM kickoff) is a crossover affair between the Olympic League and Nisqually League involving third-place schools that didn’t earn a playoff berth.

Chimacum will host Vashon Island in a battle between the league’s #4 schools, while Port Townsend, Klahowya, Cascade Christian and Charles Wright Academy will head to the postseason.

The Wolves (4-5), who beat Bellevue Christian 32-0 in 2013, will be trying for a record fifth win under coach Tony Maggio.

After winning two games in his first season in 2012, they doubled that to four last year.

With wins over South Whidbey and Port Townsend (the only league loss suffered by the champs) and a two-game sweep of Chimacum, Coupeville has matched that total, but wants more.

Bellevue Christian was 1-7 heading into a Saturday night rumble with undefeated Cascade Christian.

The Vikings only win was a 37-12 romp over Vashon Island. That was a rare offensive explosion, as they have been held to a touchdown or less in five games.

The only opponent BC shared with Coupeville this season was Port Townsend, which blasted the Vikings 48-7 in a non-conference game.

Win or loss, Friday’s game will be the final bow for Wolf seniors Aaron Wright, Joel Walstad, Isaac Vargas, Josh Bayne, Oscar Liquidano, Carson Risner and Matt Shank.

The Bayne Train was running. Otherwise, Coupeville got derailed.

Unable to stop a red-hot Concrete gridiron squad that rolled to its eighth straight victory in the fog Friday, the Wolves fell victim to Halloween horror and were shredded 52-22.

The non-conference road loss to one of its old rivals dropped CHS to 4-5.

The Wolves will have a chance to get a fifth win — the most in any season under third-year coach Tony Maggio — when they host a crossover game next week against a team from the Nisqually League.

It’s expected to be Bellevue Christian (1-7 entering a Saturday game against undefeated Cascade Christian), but date and kickoff time haven’t been confirmed by school officials yet.

Facing off with Concrete, one of its toughest rivals from the the old days in the Northwest League, Coupeville got a mix of air attack (Joel Walstad threw for 172 yards) and ground pound (Bayne rolled to 136 yards and two TD’s, giving him 18 on the season).

But the Wolves also were unable to stop the Lions, who scored at will.

Two touchdowns in the first and two more in the second allowed Concrete to take a 28-14 lead in at the half, before four scores in the third blew the game wide open.

Wiley Hesselgrave snagged a touchdown reception — his seventh score of the season — to go with Bayne’s pair on the ground, while CJ Smith and Bayne caught two-point conversion passes from Walstad.

The senior flinger had some success through the air, converting 12 of 26 passes. Hesselgrave (six receptions for 77 yards), Smith (4-52) and Ryan Griggs (3-43) were his primary targets.

Griggs had the catch of the night, hauling in a bomb along the sidelines that rivaled anything you’ll see this Sunday in the NFL.

Walstad laid the ball up high in the stratosphere and his receiver climbed the ladder and outreached a Lion defender, before dragging his toes just inside the line for a moment before falling out of bounds.

“It was a thing of beauty,” said CHS fan Shawn Walstad. “The defender tried to argue the call to the ref, but you can’t overturn perfection.”

Bayne busted out his yardage on just 12 carries, with Jacob Martin (seven carries for 30 yards), Hesselgrave (3-23) and Lathom Kelley (2-3) chipping in to pepper the Lion defense.

Continuing to be a two-way terror, Bayne recorded a team-high 10 tackles from his position in the defensive backfield, while Oscar Liquidano, Matt Shank and Hesselgrave had three stops apiece.

Aaron Wright (two tackles and two assists), Mitchell Carroll (1), Martin (1), Hunter Smith (1), Kelley (1), Brenden Gilbert (1) and Gabe Wynn (1) were also credited with putting at least a temporary hold on Concrete’s potent attack.

Hesselgrave recovered a fumble, as well, while also taking back four kickoff returns for 87 yards.

Coupeville averaged a crisp 20 yards per return (eight returns for 160 yards) with Bayne ripping off a 28-yard return and Wright, a lineman with slicker-than-expected moves, crashing through the defense for 26 yards on his lone return.

Wiley Hesselgrave is

   Wiley Hesselgrave is third for the Wolves in rushing, fourth in receiving and third in total yards.

We’re making the wrong argument.

It’s not whether Coupeville High School senior Josh Bayne should follow in the footsteps of Nick Streubel and be the second Wolf in as many years to be picked as an All-State player.

That’s a given.

The argument we should be making is for Bayne to be the 1A Player of the Year.

Why not?

Bayne is a two-way terror who does everything.

He runs, he catches, he returns kickoffs and punts (when other teams will send it his way, which is rare), and the one time he threw a pass this season, it went for a 43-yard completion.

Put him on defense, patrolling the backfield, and Awesome Joshsome is a lethal tackling machine who picks off anything remotely hurled in his vicinity.

Eight games into the season, he is in the top five in six different categories for 1A players (four on offense, two on defense) and is in the top ten in three categories when you count all classifications together (1B to 4A).

Bayne is tied for the most touchdowns (16) and interceptions (5) in 1A.

Barring any schools who haven’t been keeping up to date with MaxPreps, the clearing house for football stats, only touchdown tornado Robert Terhune of Cascade Christian and interception magnet Charlie Patterson of South Whidbey can match him in those categories.

But Bayne destroys both of them in every other applicable category and there is no one else I can find in 1A who stands out as more of a two-way success this season.

The Wolves, at 4-4, may not be in the discussion for a state title. Bayne, however, should be the talk of the table when player awards are handed out.

Joel Walstad

   Wolf QB Joel Walstad (upper right) has thrown for 1,000+ yards in his first season as a starter.

When he's not busy moonlighting as a volleyball cheerleader, Josh Bayne is among the state's best 1A players.

  When he’s not busy moonlighting as a volleyball cheerleader, Josh Bayne is among the state’s best 1A players.

Change is in the air.

Coming off a huge 57-14 romp over Chimacum, the stat sheet for the Coupeville High School football squad is in flux once again.

Several younger players such as Chance Kleinfelter, Mitchell Carroll and Cameron Toomey-Stout got a chance to slap their names on the board, while big guns such as Josh Bayne and Joel Walstad padded their already-impressive stats.

As the Wolves prepare for a Homecoming showdown with Klahowya (5:30 PM Friday) that will decide which of the two schools goes to the playoffs, take a moment to marinate in all the statty goodness.
