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.
