Shane LOsey

  Shane Losey connected with Jonathan Thurston on a pair of long bombs Monday night.

This is Port Townsend’s year on the gridiron.

That much is fact, as the RedHawks are running amuck at every level.

But, while the Coupeville High School JV football squad couldn’t derail Port Townsend Monday, falling 52-12 on the road, the young guns did put up some highlights.

Cameron Toomey-Stout torched the RedHawks for a touchdown on the ground, leaving would-be tacklers in his wake as he darted and cut his way to pay dirt.

The Wolves then added a second big play score, with freshman quarterback Shane Losey connecting with receiver Jonathan Thurston on a 55-yard touchdown strike.

The Losey to Thurston connection worked well all night long, as the duo also hooked up for a 35-yard pass-and-catch.

When Coupeville wasn’t slingin’ the ball air-borne, the Wolves had a pretty good one-two punch working on the ground.

“Teo (Keilwitz) ran lights out on their defense. He was a work horse,” said CHS coach Ryan King. “Tavian (Woolett) ran the ball pretty well for us, too.

“Overall, the boys played a really great game,” he added. “Couldn’t be more proud of them.”

The scoreboard didn’t tell the entire story.

While the Coupeville High School JV football squad may have fallen 24-0 to visiting South Whidbey Tuesday, there were more positives than negatives.

“Game was closer than you think,” said CHS coach Ryan King. “Overall, these young kids played so well and they fought till the very end. Scoreboard may say differently, but who cares.

“Watching these young guys play through pain, play tired, pretty much give it their all, that’s a win for me,” he added. “What I saw tonight was the future of this program and as they keep putting in the work and we get things clicking, the future is very bright.”

While the Wolves didn’t crack the end zone, their offense did move the ball fairly consistently, with freshman quarterback Shane Losey hooking up with receivers Cameron Toomey-Stout, Tavian Woolett and Jake Hoagland for big plays.

Providing balance, freshman Chris Battaglia “ran the ball really well.”

On the defensive side, the Wolves brought pressure from all sides, especially after halftime.

“Man, I can’t even tell you how proud I am of their defense,” King said. “To never give up and to hold them scoreless the whole second half and to come up with huge stops.”

Woolett and Hoagland picked off passes, Ethan Marx “came up huge for us and made some great plays” and the Wolf linebackers were strong all game.

That unit includes Battaglia, Losey, Teo Keilwitz and Jacob Smith, who exited the game with a possible broken hand.

King also praised his d-line unit of Tyler McCalmont, Ryan Labrador, Matt Stevens, Axel Partida, Jake Pease, Josh Robinson and James Vidoni.

“They really brought the pressure,” King said. “I can’t say who had the best game cause they all did.”

Quick hits: Shane Losey abides!!

With a new high school football season ahead of us, let’s take a look at some of the young men who will play for Coupeville High School for the first time this fall.

If there is pressure in living up to the family name, it doesn’t seem to have affected Shane Losey.

A gunslinger at quarterback who will move up and join big brother Mitchell in the fall, following in the footsteps of their father and other relatives, he remains low-key and ready to learn.

“I would like to work on being a better receiver and quarterback,” Losey said. “Understanding the plays. They are a lot different this year.

“I want to start every JV game and perfect my skills.”

He’ll be a freshman, while his older brother will be a senior.

Having the chance to learn from Mitchell, and other Wolf veterans, whether on the field or in day-to-day life, has been valuable.

“My brother and his friend Josh Bayne, they crack me up!,” Losey said. “Fun times at our house.”

This will be his third season on the gridiron, having picked up the sport when he entered middle school.

“I started because I like football, thought it would be fun to play with friends,” Losey said. “I enjoy tackling people, playing with my friends, understanding the game and working hard.”

When he’s not on the football field, he can be found hanging with friends, playing XBox, going to water parks and movies and out and about on family camping trips.

Losey also spends a fair amount of time playing baseball, having just finished a season of Babe Ruth in Oak Harbor. He was one of six future Wolves to play for the squad.

“That is fun, playing with guys you don’t know from another school and you get to know them through the season,” Losey said.

A lot of that baseball time has been spent with dad Scott.

“My dad has been a big impact for me. He has coached me through most of my baseball career this far,” Losey said. “This year was the first he wasn’t there to coach since we played in Oak Harbor. So that was a little weird…

“He and I have had many road trips from Coupeville to parts all over different places playing ball,” he added. “Lots of nights getting home at 10:00 and up to school the next day.

“Texting mom on the way home the score. And call her to fill her in on my AWESOME game I had tonight!”

And, whether texting or talking in person, his mom, Melissa, is the one who is always there for him.

“She is great; I can talk to her about anything secret or not,” Losey said. “She listens and cares a lot. I have great support around me.”
