They shared the load.

With a roster which fluctuated between 20-23 players, the Coupeville High School football team managed to get 10 of them into the end zone this season.

Junior Scott Hilborn was the front runner, banging to pay-dirt 12 times in eight games, while six of his teammates scored multiple times.

Those 12 touchdowns are the third-best single-season showing for a Wolf player in the Coupeville Sports era (2012-2021), trailing just Josh Bayne (25 in 2014) and Hunter Smith (14 in 2016).

Both of those CHS gridiron legends had 10 games in their seasons.

The best thing for Coupeville coaches is the knowledge that nine of 10 players who scored can return next season, with senior Cole Hutchinson the only departing player from the list.

Scott Hilborn – 12

Wolf gridiron stars pile up points

Dominic Coffman has reached the end zone five times during his junior season.

Is this the end?

We’re not sure, to be honest.

Thursday’s Senior Night game against Friday Harbor was the final one on the original schedule for the Coupeville High School football team.

But, now that the Wolves know they won’t be playoff-bound, there’s a chance CHS will pick up one more game against another school on the outside looking in.

As we wait for the scheduling dance to play out in the office of Coupeville Athletic Director Willie Smith, we can take a look at the team’s scoring stats.

Might be final. Might not be. Only time will tell.

Gotta run, gotta score

The end zone calls.

Coupeville High School running back Scott Hilborn has scored eight touchdowns across his team’s first five games this season, which puts him in good company.

The junior, who’s also had multiple scores called back thanks to penalties by his teammates, is the sixth Wolf to score that often during the Coupeville Sports era, which runs from 2012-2021.

Josh Bayne tops that chart, bashing his way to 25 TD’s in 2014, with 15 on the ground, and 10 through the air.

And yet he doesn’t hold the school’s single-season record for rushing or receiving touchdowns, as Ian Barron (16) and Hunter Smith (11) do.

Hilborn, who has regular-season home games against Cascade (Leavenworth) and Friday Harbor left on the schedule, is on the cusp of moving up on the scoring list.

Here who he’s chasing from the last decade:

Josh Bayne (25 TDs) – 2014
Hunter Smith (14) – 2016
Sean Toomey-Stout (10) – 2018
Jake Tumblin (10) – 2012
Bryce Fleming (9) – 2012
Jake Tumblin (9) – 2013

 

Fall 2021 scoring stats (5 games):

 

Touchdowns:

Scott Hilborn – 8
Dominic Coffman – 5
Logan Downes – 2
Daylon Houston – 2
Tim Ursu – 2
Cole Hutchinson – 1
Johnny Porter – 1
Jonathan Valenzuela — 1

 

PATs:

Daylon Houston – 9

 

Conversions:

Points:

Hilborn – 48
Coffman – 30
Houston — 21

“Big Mike” joins elite group

Posted in Boys Basketball, tagged , , , , on July 22, 2021| 2 Comments »

Mike Criscuola

And then there were nine.

Well, there’s always been nine. But now I can prove it.

Thanks to recently unearthed stats, we can now credit Mike Criscuola with 52 additional points from his sophomore basketball season in 1957-1958.

That officially (well, as official as anything compiled by me can be…) pushes “Big Mike” over the 1,000-point barrier, leaving him with 1,031 career points.

Which means he’s the fifth boy, and ninth player overall, to score 1,000+ points on the hardwood for Coupeville High School.

Well, actually he was the first to do it, but you know what I’m talking about.

Criscuola, who was on the CHS varsity as an 8th grader, was built like a Mack truck.

Add the glasses he normally wore, and a barrel chest which strained to pop free from his uniform, and, even as a young man, he looked like a dad who had slipped in to the team photo by accident.

The #1 scorer in school history when he graduated in 1960, Criscuola’s numbers have held up amazingly well over the past six decades, even as the three-point shot has ignited high-octane offenses.

And, while we are (slowly) able to pull his scoring stats back into focus, no one will ever know how many rebounds he hauled down, as those stat sheets long ago blew away in the prairie breeze.

Those who played with him vividly remember Criscuola yanking down nearly every loose ball within a five-mile radius.

Barring the successful completion of a time machine, or an Indiana Jones-style discovery of a secret cache of stats in the hidden basement of a 100-year old prairie barn, those rebound numbers will remain a mystery.

But, at the very least, we can continue to fine-tune the numbers we do have, and pay tribute to a true Wolf hoops legend.

Coupeville High School basketball 1,000-point scorers:

Brianne King — (1549) — (1999-2003)
Zenovia Barron — (1270) — (1994-1998)
Makana Stone — (1158) — (2012-2016)
Jeff Stone — (1137) — (1967-1970)
Mike Bagby — (1137) — (2002-2006)
Randy Keefe — (1088) — (1973-1976)
Megan Smith — (1042) — (2006-2010)
Mike Criscuola — (1031) — (1956-1960)
Jeff Rhubottom — (1012) — (1975-1978)

One prom, two hoops hotshots

Two titans passing in the night.

The unofficial Coupeville High School prom brought two Wolf basketball legends face-to-face Saturday, with almost 1,700 points on display.

Jeff Rhubottom, CHS Class of 1978, tossed in 1,012 points while patrolling the hardwood, which leaves him sitting #4 all-time on the school’s boys hoops career scoring list.

The dapper young gentleman next to him in the photo, senior-to-be Hawthorne Wolfe, is shooting up that same list, which covers 104 seasons.

Hawk has 662 points and counting through two full seasons and a pandemic-shortened junior campaign, which leaves him currently residing at #24 all-time.

When Wolfe and his teammates return for what should be a full season during the 2021-2022 school year, he’ll have his work cut out for him if he wants to catch Jeff Stone and Mike Bagby, tied for the program lead with 1,137 points apiece.

To get to 1,138, Wolfe will need 476 points during his senior season – a tall order but certainly reachable.

He averaged 21 points a night across a 12-game season as a junior.

If Wolfe were to score at that clip as a senior, he would need a shade under 23 games to achieve the feat.

Take a full regular season schedule of 18-20 games, add in a playoff run, and we could be in business.

If he were to get up to that 476 or higher mark as a senior, Wolfe would also have the second-best single-season scoring mark in CHS boys history, trailing just Stone’s legendary 644 from the 1969-1970 season.

The second-best season mark currently?

It’s 459 points, tossed in by one Jeff Rhubottom during his own senior season of 1977-1978.
