Gone, but not forgotten.
Senior athletes at Coupeville High School, like those all across the state, lost their spring sports seasons when the COVID-19 pandemic shut things down.
Friday night, for 20 minutes and 20 seconds, the Class of 2020 was reminded that their sacrifices are not going unnoticed.
CHS coaches lined the parking lot in front of the elementary school, while keeping proper distance from each other.
Then the lights of the stadium behind them blazed on, lighting up the night from 8:20 to 8:40, as cars drove by amid much honking and some hootin’ and hollerin’.
It was part of a state-wide effort, spurred by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association and athletic directors.
