Reunions as far as the eye can see.

Hot on the heels of the news Megan Smith was returning to coach middle school basketball, Coupeville High School Athletic Director Willie Smith announced Friday that Lincoln Kelley is rejoining the Wolf track and field coaching staff.

Kelley, who previously worked with Coupeville’s throwers before taking a day job in Oak Harbor, takes the paid position previously held by Chad Felgar.

Felgar will still be around, but wanted to step back and be a volunteer as he balances his teaching job, coaching and family life.

The hire of Kelley won’t be official until the Coupeville School Board approves it at their next meeting.

Lincoln Kelley (beard)

The men with the goatees — Lincoln Kelley (tan shirt) and Jay Roberts (dark blue polo).

Together, they have yet to make me one dang cookie.

But, put that aside, and Jay Roberts and Lincoln Kelley have had a huge impact on Coupeville High School sports and my coverage of the Wolves.

The duo, who celebrate birthdays this week, have sired four children who currently wear the red and black, and all of their offspring excel at their chosen sports.

Whether it’s girls (senior Madeline Roberts is a softball sensation while freshman Ally Roberts is a state champion horse rider and both are loud and proud Wolf cheerleaders) or boys (senior Brandon Kelley and sophomore Lathom Kelley are currently tearing up the track, often together as members of various speedy relay teams), their kids are some of the best and brightest.

Not just good athletes, but good all-around people.

Like their dads.

Jay and Lincoln are the sort of parents you like to see, guys who are always in the stands, supportive and encouraging, proud of their kids in winning times and losing times.

So yes, it has been the CHS and CMS moms (and female Wolf athletes) who have led the way in making me cookies (saints, one and all), but, every once in awhile, it’s good to stop and remember the dads of Wolf Nation as well.

Now, maybe just convince them to get in the kitchen. Maybe not on your birthday, but there are 364 other days in the year…

Chop-chop, gentlemen!
