Dominic Coffman bounced from football to basketball to track.
“Everyone plays, no one quits.”
Coupeville High School has the smallest student body of Whidbey Island’s three high schools, but the Wolves are committed.
Coming out of the darkest days of the pandemic (knock on wood), it’s been interesting to see how prep sports are booming.
Given a chance to take the field or court again, Coupeville’s student/athletes have responded, with what feels like huge numbers this spring.
Baseball and softball have enough players to field JV squads in addition to varsity teams, which is very rare at the 2B level.
The Wolf track and field roster goes deep, and girls tennis?
Longtime net guru Ken Stange has an astonishing 23 girls out there, smacking the crud out of fuzzy yellow balls.
As CHS Athletic Director Willie Smith and his coaches have both kept the spark lit and continued to build their programs, the steel in Coupeville’s spine has been the students who have committed to playing year-round.
If my numbers are correct, there are 23 Wolves — 12 boys and 11 girls — who are wrapping up the school year as three-sport athletes.
That number ties the best single-year mark during the 10-year run of Coupeville Sports and is especially nice to see at a small school where every body in a uniform matters.
The core of the group are freshmen, who account for 11 of the 23 three-sport athletes.
The junior and sophomore classes have five iron men/women apiece, with only two seniors — Audrianna Shaw and Xavier Murdy — on the list.
There are others who might have made the list, but injuries, or jobs, or life, or an unwillingness to play basketball — Coupeville’s lone winter sport — leaves them out of this discussion.
No slander to those who didn’t, or couldn’t, make it all the way to the finish line this school year.
Just respect to those who did.
