I knew him before he was big time.

Caleb Meyer is a Coupeville High School grad, current college basketball player, and owner of the most-luxurious naturally curly hair in the Northwest.

But a long time ago, before he got his growth spurt and became a tower of power, he was Videoville royalty, a wee tot hanging out in grampa and grandma’s store.

Caleb guarded the giant gumball machine next to the front door with a righteous passion, and his skills juggling the round candies were a sign of what was to come when he became a basketball whiz kid.

Seeing him return to Coupeville last year for his senior year and play a vital role for a Wolf hoops team which had its best season in three decades-plus, was a personal thrill.

And now Caleb is signing autographs for Skagit Valley College hoops fans who gaze at him like he’s a blend of Harry Styles and Damian Lillard.

Rain? What rain?

A day after a deluge straight out of Noah’s time, the sky was blue, the sun was out and baseballs were flyin’ through the air.

When he wasn’t looking for stray cans of Diet Coke, travelin’ photo man John Fisken was working the field, snapping pics, some of which are above.
