Coupeville Sports

The boy has moves.

One of the nice things about writing a blog and not writing for a professional newspaper is I can just randomly write about anything I darn well choose.

So, right now, I take a moment to point you to Shelli Trumbull’s newest photo album on Facebook, where she documents the car wash put on today at Windermere Realty to help raise funds for Living Hope Foursquare Church pastor Garrett Arnold, as he recovers from injuries suffered in a fall.

From the pictures it looks like they had a nice turnout, both in terms of people giving up their Saturday to help a beloved member of the community and his family, and in the number of cars they made sparkle.

But this is a sports blog you say. Exactly. One look at the pics and you can see a vast array of Wolf stars, past, present and future. Former Wolf diamond ace Alexis Trumbull, current flamethrower Aaron Trumbull, one-time CHS sports stud/BMOC Jon Roberts and his star-of-the-future son Landon Roberts (he gets a huge chunk of his talent from mom Sherry (Bonacci) Roberts, a former Wolf Athlete of the Year.)

And, of course, none casts a bigger shadow than Hunter Hammer, the six-foot-six, shot put-crushing, rim-rattling beast who brought me more page hits than any other CHS athlete, ever. Plus, the last name … oh, a sportswriter’s dream come too. So many bad puns. So many uses of the words “I will crush you!”

I wept many a salty tear when I lost Hammer Time to college sports. But then I inherited his sister, Hailey Hammer, and the headline-writing good times have never stopped.

So when you put page-hit king Hunter Hammer drying a car in an unorthodox manner in an award-worthy pic by Shelli Trumbull, it’s an easy call. It’s gold, gold I say!! You run that sucker and you run it now!!!!

Pardon me while I go scream for them to STOP THE PRESSES and … oh, wait, I’m not using any presses. Fine, then, with your modern URLs and internetty tube thingees, just go here and enjoy:
