Some days are just bigger than others.
In terms of Coupeville High School sports, June 26 is the real deal.
Two current Wolf stars, junior-to-be Jared Helmstadter (tennis, basketball, track) and just graduated Wade Schaef (football, baseball) celebrate birthdays today.
Topping the list is the patriarch of one of Coupeville’s legendary sports families — the one, the only, the Santa, Paul Messner.
Daughters Barbi (Messner) Ford, Christi Messner and Aimee (Messner) Bishop have all had their moments in the athletic spotlight, and granddaughter Breeanna Messner was just named as the CHS Female Athlete of the Year to cap her senior season.
Whether you’re celebrating your 17th birthday, or your 67th, it’s a good day to be a Wolf.
Well played, gentlemen. Well played.
