Well, they’re getting closer. Sort of.

In their never-ending crusade to mangle the name of every Coupeville High School athlete, the Everett Herald misspelled four names Friday night, while managing to come up with a new (and still incorrect) variation on Anthony Bergeron’s last name.

Once again, Drew Chan was Drew Chanv, Aaron Curtin was Aaron Curtain and Ben Etzell was Ben Ezzel.

I know where the Chan and Curtin misspellings are coming from, since the program for the Wolves opener against Blaine had those misspellings.

Etzell wasn’t eligible for opening night, however, as he still had practices to make up, and wasn’t on that roster. Every program I’ve seen since he’s been eligible spells his last name correctly, so I’m not sure where that’s coming from.

And Bergeron?

Two games ago, the Herald referred to him as Bucchoson. This time around, they changed it to Burgeson.

This, despite the fact, that, like Etzell, his name has been correct in every program this season.

So, once again, I have to fall back on my original belief — the Everett Herald either hates Coupeville or hires idiots.

Or both.
