As milestones go, it was a fairly quiet one.

Coupeville High School senior Hunter Smith already owns or shares seven football records, but late in last Friday’s home game against Charles Wright Academy, he pulled in yet a bit more of history.

His final snag of the game, on which he was denied a touchdown by a spectacularly blind ref, was his fifth catch of the game.

More importantly, it was the 100th reception of his stellar career.

While I can’t claim with absolute certainty he is the only Wolf to break the triple-digit receptions barrier, it seems to make absolute sense.

Smith has surpassed every CHS receiver in every category which matters, making it highly unlikely any of them reached the same milestone.

As Coupeville chases numerous team and individual offensive marks — senior QB Hunter Downes is angling for a few himself — the Wolves boast the #3 scoring offense among the eight Olympic/Nisqually League teams.

That number could take a large positive bounce this week, as CHS (2-2 overall, 0-1 in league play) heads to Vashon (0-4, 0-1).

The Pirates have the worst scoring defense in the league, and it’s not close, having been outscored 206-14 this season.

As you count down the hours until that game, take a gander at the season-to-date stats, as compiled by CHS coaches and posted on MaxPreps.

Keep in mind, though, that when you look at where Wolf players are ranked, it comes with one caveat — not all teams in the state are actively reporting stats.

Football runs in the family for Tyler McCalmont.

The Coupeville High School sophomore, who has recorded 16 tackles and a sack through the first six games, is following in the footsteps of an older sibling.

“I started about five years ago, in fifth grade,” McCalmont said. “My brother was playing football and I wanted to be like him.”

He’s stayed with the sport since then, developing into a two-way terror on the line who also sees action on special teams.

“Defense is my strong area,” McCalmont said. “Tackle strategies and pass blocking when I’m on the offense (is what I need to work on).”

Having moved back to Washington state from Fremont, Michigan in February, he’s in his first season of Wolf football, but has adapted quickly to his new environment.

“I like the sense of family, the camaraderie,” McCalmont said. “I would like the team to continue to work together, and for everyone to be a part of it.”

Over the years, he’s drawn inspiration and support from “my father, several coaches, and, most recently, my grandparents.”

McCalmont wrestled in Michigan, but CHS doesn’t have a mat squad, so he will fill his time with other pursuits after football season wraps up.

“I’m learning to play the guitar at school,” he said. “I like to hunt, fish, go camping, and play video games.

“I’d like to start my own YouTube channel someday.”

He singles out guitar and robotics as his favorite classes, and, while undecided about his future, is leaning towards pursuing the military or a trade school after graduation.

Until then, McCalmont will continue to school foes on the gridiron, much to the delight of Wolf fans.
