That’s how it’s done, Everett Herald.
After being ignored by the big city papers when they nominated their top players for week one of the high school football season, Coupeville’s talented combo of Joel Walstad and Josh Bayne got some respect Monday from a more highly-attuned source.
The Wolf duo, who shredded South Whidbey Friday night to bring “The Bucket” back to Cow Town after a year of exile in Langley, were named to the Northwest Elite Index Elite Performers list.
Walstad chucked the ball for 252 yards and three touchdowns, while Bayne scampered for 218 more on the ground, punching in a pair of scores, including the game winner, in the 35-28 victory.
That landed them on a list that included players from high profile schools like Lynden, King’s, Marysville-Pilchuck and Tumwater.
