Dominic Coffman continues to run amok in Spain.

The Coupeville High School grad cracked the defense for two touchdowns on the ground Saturday, churning and burning his way to gridiron glory to help his football team advance to another championship game.

With the former Wolf pounding away for close to 100 yards as a rusher, the Las Bravas Black Demons destroyed the Mallorca Voltors 46-0 in a semifinal matchup.

Coffman and Co. now advance to the title game Dec. 17 to play the Badalona Dracs, who blanked the Hospitalet Pioners 27-0 in the day’s other game.

This is the second season of playing American football abroad for the former Northwest 2B/1B League MVP, as he helped Las Bravas win the Spanish Cup in his debut campaign.

During his Coupeville days, Coffman, a 2023 grad, went to state in football, basketball, and track and field, joining Jonathan Valenzuela as the only Wolf boys to pull off the trifecta since at least the ’70s.

In his final state appearance, he was part of a CHS 4 x 100 relay unit which finished second.

Chayse Van Velkinburgh is following the bouncing soccer ball around the world.

The Coupeville 8th grader recently spent a month in Spain, pursuing the beautiful game.

Van Velkinburgh put in two weeks of intensive training with the Madrid Euro Soccer Academy, then played in Mad Cup 2024.

That tourney, now in its fourth year, boasts 809 teams, with 14,000+ kids from 34 countries playing games at 32 venues in Madrid.

Van Velkinburgh’s squad, which squared off with teams from Brazil, Mexico, and Venezuela among others, made it all the way to the Elite 8 in the silver bracket.

Off to dominate on the pitch.

The young Wolf ace then hopped on a plane and headed back home, finding himself back on the soccer pitch in America mere hours later.

Suiting up with Northwest United this time, Van Velkinburgh helped his team finish second at the Skagit Firecracker Tournament.

Back in America, Dustin and Jessica’s son will continue to play with NW United, while also joining the Coupeville High School boys’ soccer program this fall.

After playing a final season of middle school basketball, he’s slated to return to Spain in January for another three-month stay at the Madrid Academy.

Chasing that ball and chasing that dream.
