There are people who follow local sports and then there are true fanatics.
People who follow local sports may recognize names like Bessie Walstad and Nathan Lamb. Hey, they might even know that “Hammer Time” has little to do with a guy dancing in parachute pants, but instead refers to Wolf sophomore sensation Hailey Hammer laying down the smack on her hapless foes in whatever sport she chooses (volleyball, basketball, softball, high stakes rope jumping).
True fanatics, however, are a breed to themselves. These are the people who stalk eBay in the hope of one day bidding for the softball bat Hammer busted last season.
These are also the people who breathlessly await the release of the middle school athletic schedules, because, hey, Michael Jordan was a middle school player at one point and those people who were lucky enough to watch his Airness before he could get off the floor still have a heck of a story.
Am I saying the next Michael Jordan is living here in Coupeville? You never know. Go to a game and take a look.
At least it keeps you off eBay.
