The Big Hurt nimbly rolls through the paint for two more. (Shelli Trumbull photos)

The leaning tower of dunkdom!

He’s Nicholas in the program. The Big Hurt to anyone stupid enough to get in his way as he rambles through the paint.

Call him what you will, Coupeville High School junior Nick Streubel is his team’s leading scorer this basketball season, and, Friday night, he dealt out the biggest assist of the season.

After the game had ended and most of the fans had departed, Streubel and his teammates were chomping on cupcakes provided by team moms in honor of Caleb Valko and Drew Chan’s last home game as seniors.

Then, one thing led to another, Streubel hoisted Wolf assistant coach Dustin Van Velkinburgh on his shoulders, Coach V raised his own lil’ son high in the air, and the trio tottered over to the basket, where the pint-sized future Wolf threw down the shot of the night.

And all was well in Wolf Nation.

The best darn student section in the world.

The man with the velvet voice, Moose Moran.

Aaron Curtin is getting really tired of listening to the refs.

And then they danced…

Because there were cupcakes!!

As we head into the wee hours of the morning, you’re really not in the mood to read.

I understand.

So, here you go, snazzy pics from Shelli Trumbull from Friday night’s Coupeville vs. King’s boys’ basketball game.

And now I’ll shut up.

Caleb Valko wants your sweet, sweet cupcakes!!

Posted in All your cupcakes are belong to us, Boys Basketball, Caleb Valko talks smack on January 30, 2013| Leave a Comment »

“Psst, Hunter … I’m trying to talk everyone into giving me cupcakes!”

“Cupcakes? Why cupcakes, Mr. Valko?”

And no, that’s not a euphemism. I think…

Let the word go forth. Caleb Valko (and Drew Chan, too, I’m betting) wants to be showered in cupcakes Friday.

That night, the duo of Valko and Chaaaaannnnnnnnnnnn!!! (say it in your best Captain Kirk voice, please) will be honored before the Coupeville High School boys’ basketball team tips off with King’s.

It’s Senior Night, a night when even the most stoic of individuals gets a bit watery-eyed (let me state now … I HAVE A FRICKIN’ HEAD COLD!), when even the most rugged of manly men allow their moms to hug them in public, when the cupcakes flow freely (or at least Mr. Valko hopes).

“Cupcakes galore for Caleb!!” is his war cry.

So listen up, Coupeville, and make it happen.

Valko and Chan have been there through the tough times (the barf fest that was Food Poisoning Night against Blaine).

Been there through the trying times (terrible injuries to Gavin O’Keefe, Ben Etzell and Aaron Trumbull, god-awful refs who stole a win against Orcas Island).

Been there through the crap (student apathy and punk grads who bitch endlessly even when they couldn’t carry the jocks of any of the current players).

Been there through the transcendent times (the win at Mount Vernon Christian).

In the somewhat-rewritten words of Gene Hackman in “Hoosiers:”

“I would hope you would support who we are. Not, who we are not. These individuals have made a choice to work, a choice to sacrifice, to put themselves on the line every night for the next four months, to represent you, this high school. That kind of commitment and effort deserves and demands your respect and your sweet, sweet cupcakes!!”

Hey, who are you to argue with Gene Hackman?!?!
