20 days.

That’s all that remains until the first day of official fall practice (Aug. 19) for the Coupeville High School football team.

As the Wolves count down the days, what better time than now to drop a few more photos from the recent summer scrimmage against Lakeside?

So, here you go.

John Fisken was a busy, busy guy.

The travelin’ photo man snapped a ton of photos Saturday as Coupeville High School played a summer scrimmage against visiting Lakeside, and, while we ran a bunch that day, we didn’t use them all up.

So, as we head into a Monday morning, here’s a few more football-drenched images.

23 days until the official start of practice. Not that anyone’s counting…

No many how many Lakeside tacklers come after him, none of them are getting the ball away from Josh Poole and his death grip.

Freshman QB Gabe Eck runs the offense.

It takes two foes to slow down Wolf lineman Brenden Gilbert, and still he moves the line … cause he’s a beast.

JR Pendergrass contemplates the pain he’s about to inflict.

You can run, but you can’t get away from Jacob Martin (32).

If it’s July 25, it’s football season.

Sort of.

With summer workouts winding down, Coupeville High School got a chance to run plays against a real foe Saturday, with Lakeside coming to town for a scrimmage.

Traveling photo man John Fisken was nice enough to grace us with his presence, and the photos above are courtesy him.

This batch focuses on Coupeville players, while the previous article put the spotlight on Wolf coaches and fans.

Oh, and if you’re curious, the first day of real practice?

Wednesday, Aug. 19 — a mere 25 days from now.

Bombs away!!

Joel Walstad was on point.

The Coupeville High School senior is just seven days away from making his first-ever regular season start as a varsity quarterback and he looked strong in his warm-up.

Playing in a three-team scrimmage Friday in La Conner, Walstad threw for two touchdowns and sophomore Gabe Wynn ran for another as the Wolves blitzed their hosts.

Both of Walstad’s scoring strikes went into the arms of senior Josh Bayne.

Wynn, returning to the gridiron after spending his freshman year playing tennis, ripped off a 40-yard run to the end zone for his score.

Walstad wasn’t the only Wolf QB to hit the highlight reel, as freshman Hunter Downes also connected with Mitchell Carroll on a 20 yard-plus heave.

The afternoon scrimmage, which also involved Burlington-Edison, gave all three teams a chance to iron out the kinks as they prepare for opening night next Friday, Sept. 5.

The Wolves will host Island neighbor South Whidbey in a battle for ownership of The Bucket.

While it’s now a non-conference game, with Coupeville having hopped from the 1A/2A Cascade Conference to the 1A Olympic League, the local rivalry aspect marks the game as a huge one.

Based on what he saw Friday, and in the team’s opening week-and-a-half of practice, CHS coach Tony Maggio is pleased with where the Wolves are.

“Kids gave a great effort, we threw the ball well against La Conner,” Maggio said. “Our defense allowed only one touchdown each game; overall a great job.

“We will be ready for South Whidbey on Friday!”
