Football is back. Sort of.
Led by seniors-to-be Wiley Hesselgrave, Lathom Kelley and Ryan Griggs, the Coupeville High School gridiron squad kicked off the start of spring practice Monday.
While the season opener (Sept. 4 at South Whidbey) is still three months away, the early work gave the Wolves a chance to get used to a new coach.
With the departure of Tony Maggio, former assistant coach Brett Smedley has taken the reigns and Monday was his first day of running things.
