Try to escape the iron grip of Riley Lawless? As if. (Photos by JohnsPhotos.net)

A mere 29 years ago, Sylvester Stallone stared into the camera while making Judge Dredd and intoned, “I am the law!”

And while it’s probably fairly unlikely that current Coupeville High School sophomore Riley Lawless has ever watched that 1995 “cinema classic,” he’s upholding Sly’s mantra.

Mainly by making sure no one, and I mean no one, gets away from his tackles on the gridiron.

As seen in the pics above and below, Lawless (and his Grip o’ Death) is one huge reason the Wolf defense has sparked CHS football to a 4-1 start this season.

The Oak Harbor Football and Cheer League is back in business — minus the cheer part for now — bringing together young athletes from across Whidbey Island.

Working the sidelines every weekend is photo bug John Fisken, who delivers the pics seen above and below.

To peruse (and possibly purchase) the fruits of his labor, pop over to:

Who’s the man? Brenden Gilbert’s the man!!

The man, the myth, the tacklin' machine -- Brenden Gilbert.

The man, the myth, the tacklin’ machine — Brenden Gilbert.

Brenden Gilbert has grown into being The Man.

From an eager kid who came up following in the footsteps of Wolf lineman extraordinaire Nick “The Big Hurt” Streubel, Gilbert has put on size and skill over the past couple of years.

Now, as he looks forward to his senior season next year, the two-way lineman is ready to step into the role of being the leader on the line.

With Jake and Josh Lord at his side, among others, Gilbert will lead the wrecking crew that opens holes on offense and closes them, emphatically, on defense.

Away from the gridiron, he’s an easy-going dude who supports his classmates, showing up at nearly every game, where he is among the loudest ‘n proudest CHS supporters.

The guy is quality through and through, on the field and off, and someone it’s easy for Wolf fans to hail as a bright, shining star.

As Gilbert celebrates a birthday today, we wish him all the best.

Keep on keepin’ on, Brenden. You have a town, a nation, behind you.
