April 21 is a day of promise for Wolf athletics.
Two young stars, one in his first year of high school play, the other on his way, share today as a birthday.
Gabe Wynn, already a three-sport star for Coupeville High School (tennis, basketball, baseball), turns 15.
He saw varsity playing time during his first season of hoops, building on the success he had at the middle school level, and is a hustler and hard worker in all of his sports.
The offspring of former Oak Harbor High School athletes Robyn (Seth) Myers and Alan Wynn, he’s part of a large, diverse mixed family that includes basketball hit woman Julia “Elbows” Myers and is more than holding his own.
The future is bright for this one.
And it’s positively radiant for Landon Roberts, son of not one, but TWO former Wolf superstars — CHS Athlete of the Year winners Sherry (Bonacci) Roberts and Jon Roberts.
As he hits the big 7, Landon’s athletic future is wide open.
His pops played baseball, basketball and football, while his mom terrorized opponents on the basketball and volleyball courts.
Older sister Lindsey is already making waves herself at Coupeville Middle School, and Landon has gotten some of his early schooling by hanging out on a regular basis with former Wolf basketball giant Hunter Hammer.
We may have to wait a few years for him to make his presence known, but his mega-watt smile in the stands already has lit up the joint.
They are the future, Gabe and Landon, and we hail them in the present.
Happy birthday, young guns. Enjoy these days, and the ones ahead.
