Legendary.
And that’s just his hair.
As he hits the big 2-1 today, former Coupeville High School three-sport sensation (and current college gridiron warrior) Mitch Pelroy continues to cast a long shadow.
During his days as a Wolf, he was a beast, starring in football, basketball and track — where he won 28 races in three years and advanced to the 1A state meet in each of his seasons.
Now, he’s a hard-hittin’, fast-runnin’ two-way threat for Montana Western’s football squad.
On whatever stage he has been on, Mitch has embraced the spotlight, giddy grin splashed across his face as he looks over his shoulder at the foes who are trying, and failing, to catch him.
His legacy at CHS lives on in speedy lil’ sis Kirsten, who is bustin’ out PRS and takin’ names on the oval herself.
When they ask how you spell Pelroy, the answer is F-A-S-T.
But with the speed comes class, commitment and a rock-solid work ethic, family traits handed down from brother to sister.
You were one of the best to ever rep the red and black, Mitch. The Man, then, now and always.
Happy birthday, Mr. Pelroy. Never stop being awesome.
