From the aisles at Videoville to the streets of Ellensburg, Zane Bundy continues to shine brightly.
The 2016 Coupeville High School grad, who is a deputy with the Kittitas County Sheriff’s Department, has spent the past year achieving milestones.
He married fellow Wolf alum Rebecca Robinson, became a deputy, and, as of Tuesday, is a graduate of Washington state’s Basic Law Enforcement Academy.
The path to graduation, which he took alongside fellow Kittitas deputy Beau Hazzard, was not an easy one, as the ongoing pandemic threw things out of whack.
“Beau and Zane succeeded their way through an academy that was repeatedly interrupted by COVID-related closures and modifications,” the Kittitas County Sheriff Department said in a Facebook post.
“They made the most of delays, spending time helping the Sheriff’s office with its own COVID response and modifications, getting ahead of the game in some more advanced training, and preparing for the field training phase they will now start.”
Bundy, son of Mark Bundy and Janine Coutts, spent a great deal of his younger days camped out in the video game section at Videoville, perusing the N64 games.
A soccer prodigy from a young age, Zane was a top goal-scorer for both select and school teams, then added football to his resume during his senior year at CHS.
Utilizing his powerful kicking leg, he smashed field goals and PAT’s for the Wolves, leading Coupeville’s gridiron team in scoring that season.
