The photos keep droppin’ and poppin’.

During the slowdown created by the COVID-19 pandemic, I’ve taken some time to wander back through some of the 20 billion pics which have graced Coupeville Sports.

Today we stroll into 2014, the third year of the blog, and come away with what you see here – the snaps which I think best capture the feel of that year.

Fun Police can’t stop Batman!!

Jason Knoll -- The Man.

Jason Knoll — The Man.

Jason Knoll doesn’t play by your silly rules.

Crack down on students dressing up at games and cheering for their classmates, and the Coupeville High School senior, who happens to be celebrating his birthday today, will arrive to save the day — and the school year– by dressing up as Batman and popping up at as many games as possible.

A triple threat (tennis, soccer, band) with Jack Nicholson eyebrows, Knoll is the last brave man fighting the good fight.

The Fun Police will never catch him, never shut him down, and his legend builds day by day.

Years from now, when CHS students are allowed to run free again in the stands, they will look back and whisper the name of the man who refused (with a smile on his face) to give in and be quiet.

And he’ll be there in the shadows, watching from above, and a low growl will trickle down on a new generation.

“I’m Batman!”

He fought for your freedom. He refused to bend his knee.

For Knoll lives by the creed you all should remember: “They can take our vuvuzela horns, but they will never take our freedom!!”

Shine on, you crazy genius.
