Coupeville Sports

Coupeville and Sultan can be friends?!?!? Who knew?

Dogs and cats, living together! Mass hysteria!!

We’re about one step away from it here. I mean, Coupeville being nice to Sultan? Sultan being nice back to Coupeville?

I may have to stop and take a breath and stop flicking people in the back of the head if this keeps up. Maybe even get a little more mature, bring it up to the level of a 15-year-old and…

Yeah. Don’t hold your breath on that one.

But still, this is nice. This is really the way high school sports should play out.

After Monday’s JV football game in Sultan, a game the Turks thoroughly dominated, the Wolf players surprised the fans by going up into the bleachers to clean up any garbage left behind by the HOME fans.

They’ve been doing it all season, regardless of the field, as Tony Maggio, Dustin Van Velkinburgh, Ryan King and the other CHS coaches rebuild the Wolf program from the ground floor up.

Show respect to your opponent regardless of the score.

And it was noticed by one Sultan fan, Michelle Sentman, who went to the Turk football page on Facebook and posted the following:

Was at the JV game last night. Awesome game. We won 62 to 7. Good coaching and good reffing (not sure if that is right).

After the game each team went to the respective huddles. I then watched the Coupeville team leave the field and come up into our stands.

They looked like they lost something, so a parent asked if they did, reply was no, we are picking up garbage.

I think each parent’s jaw hit the ground, was this a punishment for how the game went? No, replied a player, this is just something we do.

What???????????

Oh my, my Gosh, I have so much respect for those young men and their coaches.

I almost cried, they come to our house, get their helmets handed to them and then clean up after us? Everyone should learn a lesson on that one.
