A partial list of stories coming to Coupeville Sports in the near future. It changes hourly this time of year.
This is unique.
As far as I can tell, there are no other web sites or blogs in the state of Washington doing what I do here on Coupeville Sports.
No one else has chosen to hyper-focus on one small town and write about everything sports-related in it – high school, middle school, elementary school.
On the fog-enshrouded prairie in the middle of a rock slapped down somewhere out in the middle of the water, you can get your athletic props — whether you’re a professional basketball star cashing checks in a foreign country or a 3rd grader.
And, thanks to my off kilter sleeping habits at times and obsessive need to document every last bit of info I stumble upon, this is all delivered on an almost daily basis.
If you go back and count the days in 2023 where nothing new was published on Coupeville Sports, you’d have several fingers and toes left to use.
Today, midday on May 17, I’m sitting at 69 stories this month — slightly more than four a day, every day — with 375 for the year and 10,145 since the blog debuted Aug. 15, 2012.
Unlike other publications which work at a much-slower pace, be they local or international, I have been free to read since day one, and will be free to read until we reach the end of wherever this road takes us.
And it is a journey we are taking together.
I may be smacking my fingers on the keyboard at 2 AM, but Coupeville Sports wouldn’t make it without the photographs, news tips, or (occasional) elbows to the ribs from you, the readers.
If it’s happening in Coupeville, or at least has some vague connection to Cow Town, and I haven’t written about it yet, it’s probably not personal.
Email me at davidsvien@hotmail.com and let me know what’s crackin’.
Last, but certainly not least, an enduring thank you to everyone who has ever donated to the cause, your support keeping me one step ahead of a return to the dish pits.
Years of abuse from working on farms, in restaurants, or moving large rocks from one side of a field to the other have resulted in a cranky back and assorted aches and pains.
But the mysterious back and body medicine sold at the $1.25 store helps, and I still have the use of my fingers — most mornings — so the blog churns on.
Want to read for free? So be it.
