Parents who take their cameras with them when they travel to away games are the best.

Case in point, Shawn Walstad.

It’s almost like being there, even for those of us who weren’t.

Big smile, big hits — only one Big O!!

Oscar Liquidano and friends.

Oscar Liquidano and friends.

He couldn’t stay away.

A family move to Vegas threatened to break up the love affair between Oscar Liquidano and Cow Town, but things eventually came back around and Big O was returned to the town he was meant to be in.

His return to Whidbey, in time to join his teammates on the Wolf football squad in the early days of practice, was cause for universal joy.

A big, bad man on the gridiron who anchored the CHS line while also acting as a team captain, Oscar crushed hapless foes while always sporting the biggest smile in all the land.

The dude is that rare combination of a guy who has the imposing build of an enforcer, while being the first one to reach out to others with a smile and a joke.

He’s as rock solid as they come, and it’s great to see him getting the chance to finish his high school career where it started.

Whether competing — a three-sport athlete, he’s brought his power game to basketball and soccer in the past — or showing up for every game with girlfriend Ashlyn Miller to support his classmates, Mr. Liquidano is a class act.

He might have spent a bit of time away from The Rock, but we will always claim his as one of our own.

As he celebrates a birthday today, all the best, man. Good to see you home.

A family move is taking two of Coupeville High School’s most-promising athletes away just two games into a new boys’ soccer season.

CHS junior Oscar Liquidano and his younger brother Uriel, a Wolf freshman, departed the team after Tuesday night’s home game against Cedarcrest.

The move will leave Coupeville down a football captain in the fall, when Oscar Liquidano was set to lead the Wolves along side Aaron Wright, Josh Bayne and Carson Risner.

“Devastating. I love that kid,” said CHS football coach Tony Maggio.

Both Liquidano brothers were three-sport athletes in the two years they lived in town, playing football, basketball and soccer.

While Uriel, aka “Woody,” had begun to make his presence felt at the high school level, his older brother was already an extremely popular part of Wolf Nation.

Big O, an easy-going dude, was famous for an incredible one-man cheer performance that rocked the gym at Mount Vernon Christian as a sophomore.

Arms waving wildly in the air, he had out-screamed the home cheering section by himself as the Wolf boys’ basketball team snapped a season-and-a-half losing streak.

His departure will leave an impact on his friends and teammates.

“You will be missed by all of Coupeville; you are a great teammate and a better friend,” said CHS senior soccer player Gunnar Langvold. “I will miss your joyful presence in school.

“I hope you have a good time where you will live, stay out of trouble and don’t change,” he added.
