Pluck.
That’s the word which I think best describes Coupeville High School senior Beauman Davis, who celebrates a birthday today.
Regardless of the sport (tennis, basketball, soccer) or activity (he’s also been extremely active in band), Davis never stops striving.
He’s a hard worker, shows up every day and puts his time in, and has remained upbeat and a good teammate every step of the way.
So far, my enduring memory of him is watching Beauman sacrifice for both his team and his rivals.
With Port Townsend in town last year, the RedHawks needed another man to pull together even a limited JV team, and one Wolf was going to need to flip jerseys to make it happen.
Up stepped Davis, who pulled on PT red and, despite the catcalls of his teammates in the stands, played all-out in support of his team-for-a-day.
It was a class act by a humble young man and allowed players on both sides of the ball to see action that day.
As Davis heads towards graduation, we should take a moment to appreciate what this unsung student/athlete has accomplished in his time at CHS.
Every program, sports or academic or activity-based, needs a Beauman or two to keep things clicking.
He is just a solid dude across the board, and I hope he realizes that Wolf fans, as well as his coaches and teammates, appreciate what he has given to his school.
Happy cake day, Mr. Davis! Thank you for letting us be a part of your journey.
