What could of been.

Elementary school buds, Caleb Valko and Kwamane Bowens never got the chance to play out their high school football careers in the same town.

Valko stayed in Coupeville and went out as a senior captain, pile-driving hapless runners to the end. Now he’s an assistant coach with the Coupeville Middle School football squad.

Bowens ended up playing high school ball way across the country after a family move and is currently playing D-1 football on scholarship at the University of Hawaii.

Both have been successful in their own way, and the duo remain in touch today, forever linked by the friendship of youth.

Everyone starts somewhere.

Thanks to the magic of photos, and a basketball coach (Amy King) that hangs on to those photos, we can all see where the current Coupeville High School girls’ hoops stars came from.

And yep, they might be older, but their personalities haven’t changed a bit.

"I have the power!!"

“I have the power!!”

A more modern-day Tori Wellman, who can still kick your butt on the Nintendo 64.

Pick a sport and Tori Wellman has probably played it.

The Coupeville High School senior, who just wrapped up her soccer season, has also competed in cheer, t-ball, basketball, BMX, horseback riding and track.

But it all started with developing fast fingers on her beloved Nintendo 64.

The photo above, which she believes was taken when she was five, captures every kid’s joy at finding the game console of their dreams gift-wrapped and waiting for them.

And come on, no matter how far game systems go, they could have stopped with the Nintendo 64.

Cause nothing is ever gonna top it. End of story.

A little more recent photo.

He’s rushed for 200-plus yards in back-to-back games.

He’s about to travel into the heart of the beast Friday with his Coupeville High School teammates and face down the #9 ranked 1A team in the state in King’s, and THEY better be the ones who are worrying.

He is the fastest man in the school, a high-steppin’ blur on the gridiron who pulls in massive amounts of page views every time I write about him.

Call him JT, Rumblin’ Tumblin or #7 (he calls me Mr. Svien — when did kids get so dang polite?!?!), Jake Tumblin is gold.

And now, thanks to mom Shannon, I have the photo above, which guarantees page views rolling in as fast as the clicker can count ’em.

Solid gold.
