Big O is on his way back home.
Shortly after he was named a captain for this year’s Coupeville High School football team, Oscar Liquidano’s family left town in the spring and moved to Las Vegas.
That left the Wolves one captain down, as Liquidano, the team’s biggest lineman, was supposed to share honors this year with fellow seniors Carson Risner, Aaron Wright and Josh Bayne.
Now, things have taken a huge swing for the positive, as word hits that Liquidano is returning to Coupeville for his senior year.
Getting back a big, veteran two-way lineman who will work alongside Risner, Wright, Matt Shank and others, is a huge boost for the Wolf football team.
“I can’t like this enough!!!” wrote jubilant CHS quarterback Joel Walstad when the news hit Facebook.
Liquidano, who also plays basketball and soccer, is expected to reach town by Saturday. He’ll be a couple of practices behind, but has time to catch up before the start of the season.
While nothing is set in stone, the young man at the center of things was cautiously thrilled Thursday night.
“We’ll just have to wait and see,” Liquidano said. “I have faith in God that it will happen.”
