Coupeville Sports

Presto, the CHS gym looks so new and fresh. (Scott Losey photos)

   The whole place glows. That could be the lighting reflecting off the floor, though … no, wait, it’s hope. Yes, hope.

Goodbye, 1979.

Thanks to these exclusive photos, courtesy Scott Losey, we have confirmation that Coupeville High School has taken a huge jump into the future when it comes to its gym bleachers.

Gone are the butt-assaulters that had dominated the gym for three decades-plus, including the chunk behind the home bench that simply refused to stop opening last year.

In their place, snazzy new red bleachers (complete with Wolf logo) to replace the brown beasts of the past.

Plus, railings up the walkways!

The area where players stand to tape games? No longer up in the clouds!

Changes! Everything changes!!

Of course, the big question lingers.

Will the new bleachers be any more comfortable than the old ones, which had a vendetta against my butt cheeks?

That remains to be seen, but they will, at the very least, open on command.

That’s a start.
