Mark it down. June 5, 2015 — the day Coupeville High School got serious about its athletic history.

League title banners were raised for girl’s basketball and girls’ tennis — the first new ones in any sport at the school since 2002 — and then football finally got a shiny record board to rival the one that track has had for many years.

Now, we could quibble that Nick Streubel, the sack king, had his last name misspelled.

And, I am curious, with all the records being from the 2000’s, how deeply the researchers have gone into the past.

Though, based on the haphazard ways records have been curated at CHS, numbers for anything prior to the ’90s might simply have vanished into the mists of time…

In any case, this is progress.

Shiny progress that finally puts a spotlight on those who wore the red and black on the gridiron, while setting a target for those who come in the future.

Well done, gentlemen.
