Bundy passes down wisdom to a younger teammate during the early days of soccer practice.
Number seven is number three.
Zane Bundy became the third Coupeville High School senior to sign to play college ball, joining Makana Stone (Whitman, basketball) and Dalton Martin (track, Everett Community College).
Bundy, who has been a standout soccer player for the Wolves, is actually going to college as a football player, however.
He’s headed to Santa Barbara City College to kick for the Vaqueros.
The school is always on the outlook for “raw talent” and liked what they saw in Bundy and his big leg, said mom Janine.
During his single season of football, Zane led the Wolves in scoring, kicking five field goals and knocking down eight PATs.
Bundy finished his senior season tied for #1 among 1A players for field goals and fourth among Washington state prep kickers in all classifications.
“Zane is all geared up and ready to go. I believe it will be a great fit for him,” said CHS football coach Brett Smedley. “Zane showed great ability and a willingness to learn and get better on a daily basis.
“I am very proud of him and look forward to seeing where this move takes him!”
SBCC plays in the American Pacific Division of the Southern California Football Association and has five league rivals — Antelope Valley, L.A. Pierce, L.A. Valley, Hancock and Citrus.
The league has actually been reformatted for 2016.
Playing in an eight-team conference this past season, the Vaqueros went 5-5 overall, 4-3 in league play.
Santa Barbara is coached by Craig Moropoulos, who has been on the job for nine seasons.
