All across the USA, sports leaders are being honored today.
It’s National Coaches Day, continuing a tradition began in 1972.
President Richard Nixon, he of the infamous helicopter ride into oblivion, can count the creation of the event as one of his wins.
Tricky Dick believed “a coach can help build that moral fiber on which our future as a Nation depends.”
Therefore, it was “appropriate that our Nation join in according them the recognition and honor which they so richly deserve, for they represent the finest elements in the American character.”
The pics above and below capture a small sub-section of the men and women currently living up to those words while directing Coupeville teams.

It’s easy to sit in the stands and tell the world you know how things should be run.
But it’s a lot harder to get off your duff, go through the process, and emerge as a coach capable of actually shaping the destinies of high school and middle school athletes.
The pics above and below capture some of the men and women who have chosen the harder path.
Wolf Nation would not be the same without them, or their coaching counterparts.

The work begins.
Coupeville High School football practice kicked off Wednesday, with soccer, cross country, cheer, and volleyball set to launch this coming Monday.
With the sun out (at least for a few days more), the guns were out, as seen in the pics above and below.
Now, just wait until an October game plays out in wet, dense fog, and we’ll see how many Wolves opt to go back to wearing multiple layers.

It was a long time coming.
Coupeville High School football reached the state playoffs for the first time since 1990, clashing with Onalaska Saturday at Oak Harbor’s Wildcat Memorial Stadium.
Along for the ride was wanderin’ camera clicker John Fisken, who provides us with the pics seen above and below.
