Lost season, not lost honor

Posted in awards, tagged , , , , , on April 21, 2020| Leave a Comment »

Shelton High School honored senior spring athletes in a unique way.

How do you honor a lost season?

The COVID-19 pandemic erased spring sports for high school and middle school athletes in Washington state, bringing a halt to things before a game was played.

Now, some schools are choosing to go ahead and still hand out athletic letters, even in the absence of competition.

A recent Skagit Valley Herald story by Vince Richardson found Burlington-Edison is awarding letters to all senior spring athletes.

Meanwhile, La Conner will letter athletes in grades 9-12 if they fully complete a six-week training program set up by their coaches.

Go further down the road and you’ll end up in Shelton.

Back in the late ’80s, when I was a shaggy-haired Tumwater tennis player, the Highclimbers were one of our biggest rivals in the old-school Black Hills League.

These days, Shelton’s Athletic Department is bidding for all the internet fame after posting a video in which senior athletes who would have been four-year lettermen get their moment in the quarantine spotlight.

 

 

No word yet on whether Coupeville AD Willie Smith will accept my challenge – liberate a golf cart, get a pair of long, retractable grabbers, then go door-to-door doing something similar, while never actually leaving the cart.
