If it’s Tuesday, it must be time to mess with the Everett Herald again.
The newspaper that’s most fond of massacring the names of Coupeville High School athletes (respect the memory of Taya Boonscara … wait, isn’t her name really Taya Boonstra?) has shocked us all by allowing two Wolves to be nominated in their Athlete of the Year voting.
Recent CHS grads Breeanna Messner (volleyball, cheer, basketball, softball) and Ben Etzell (tennis, baseball) are in the running, along with all the “big name” athletes from athletic powers like ATM and Jackson.
Which can only mean one thing — time for Whidbey Island to open a can of whoop-ass on their poll … again.
We’ve done it before. We’ll do it again.
Now, they have set up their poll so you can’t just sit there and click the vote button 10,000 times in an hour, which just means you have to get more creative. There are always ways around vote stifling.
And, of course, we might get a repeat of the Lakewood incident, where someone rigged the system to shoot votes to Lakewood players when ever anyone voted for a Coupeville kid.
We shall see.
But, for now, at least, we believe in the “Friday Night Lights” mantra, “Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose.”
Let the can openin’ begin!!
