Coupeville Sports

Gabe Eck climbs the ladder and makes off with an interception at a jamboree Saturday. (John Fisken photo)

You’re wearing the wrong colors, son.

Part of me says not to run this photo, because this is freakin’ Coupeville Sports and not Oak Harbor Sports.

I start running big city stuff, and there’s no end to it. Next thing you know the South Enders will expect some coverage, as well.

But, it’s a nice photo … and the Eck brothers, Gabe and Ty, are at heart, Coupeville kids.

They starred for Coupeville Middle School as seventh graders, and, while they have moved North for their eighth grade football season, there is a strong shot they will be back in red and black when it’s time to hit the field for high school ball.

At least that’s my hope, and I’m sticking to it.

I’m sorry, but they don’t look right in purple and gold.

No one does.

And this is coming from a guy whose diploma is yes, purple and gold, since the last semester of my high school career came at OHHS after a family move from Tumwater.

So, in the interest of poaching some page hits from that place where they hold Holland Happening and where I go to watch my movies, I’ll let this photo slip by.

But seriously, while I won’t tell any parent where they should send their children, or tell any players what town they should suit up for …

COW TOWN, BABY!!!!!

I’m just saying, you want 24-7-365 coverage, you hang out on the prairie. Cause next time you’re sporting purple and gold, I may not recognize you.
