Coupeville Sports

Kacie Kiel, she’s kind of a big deal. (John Fisken photos)

They’ll tell you that there’s no school today because it’s Presidents Day.

Not true.

It’s actually because Coupeville High School junior basketball sensation Kacie Kiel, perhaps the best defender in the Cascade Conference — and certainly the happiest — celebrates her 17th birthday today.

So, if you try to go to the bank, or the library, and get nowhere fast, just remember, it’s because today is the day an American legend was born.
