If the lift’s a-bouncin’, don’t come a-knockin’.
Halfway home.
116 title boards, in 11 sports, covering CHS accomplishments from 1960 to 2016.

We did it.
And let me stress the first word in that three-word sentence — WE.
When you walk in the Coupeville High School gym in the days to come, when you see what has risen, what has been remembered, what has been rediscovered, it is not the work of one person.
It is the work of a nation, of a Wolf Nation.
Everyone who chipped in, through donations, advice, access, historical knowledge, or just a pat on the back, shares in the history which now plays out on the gym wall.
For the first time, Wolf faithful and rivals alike can look up and see the complete tale of CHS sports play out in front of their eyes in living (glossy) color.
Pick the sport of your choice and you can see the changes in leagues, the rise (and sometimes fall) of a program’s success, and the moments which will live forever for the athletes, coaches and fans who participated.
Decades of history which has been locked away largely in dusty newspaper clippings is now front and center, the way it should be.
The warriors of the past are being honored, while the current generation has a target.
It’s been a long time coming and all the work paid off nicely.
Thank you, one and all.
