Bob Martin is the unsung backbone of Coupeville sports.
Whether coaching football and basketball, working with the high school boosters or the Boys and Girls Club, volunteering for Race the Reserve road crew work or simply making sure the lights stay on and the PA system works in the CHS gym during games, he’s everywhere at once.
In a small town, you need people like Bob, who are willing to put a lot of time and work in for very little pay, to make things work.
He may not always be in the spotlight, which he seems quite happy about, but he is indispensable.
Plus, he upholds a proud tradition honored by myself and Wolf football coach Tony Maggio, among others, of wearing shorts almost 24-7-365, rain and/or snow be danged.
Good man.
So, on this, his birthday, take a moment to give a hand to the quiet man of Coupeville sports, the guy who helps keep everything running while building for the next generation.
There is a landmark that sits in front of the CHS gym — a rock that is spray painted every time someone has something to get off their chest.
When it comes to Wolf sports, from the pee wees to the big kids, Bob Martin is the real-life embodiment of that rock.
Just don’t go spray painting him any time soon…












































So true, happy birthday Bob. Thanks for all you do!
