He is potentially the best thing to ever happen to Coupeville Sports.
In the 20-month history of this blog, few, if any, local athletes have been as dependable a draw as Coupeville High School senior Nick “The Big Hurt” Streubel.
If you print it, they will read it.
Football, basketball, track and field, doesn’t matter the sport. Folks love them some Streubel.
Capable of ripping through the line and shredding three would-be blockers or gently playing with one of his coach’s sons, lifting him high above his imposing frame so the little boy can shoot a basket, Nick remains the quiet, friendly young man he’s always been.
I remember when he was a (relatively) little guy, and it’s been an honor to help document his exploits as he grew into his nickname.
As he celebrates his 18th birthday today, I wish him the best. Cause he deserves nothing else, since he is the best.
