Wynter Thorne, always in season.
Wynter Thorne is a scrapper.
Whether patrolling the basketball hardwood or the tennis court, the Coupeville High School senior never lets up. She fights for every point with an admirable intensity.
Last year was her breakout year, as she advanced to the postseason in both her sports.
A hustler with a motor that never quits, Thorne was a ball of fire with a basketball in her hand, then nimbly shifted to tennis without missing a beat.
Normally a doubles player, she stepped up to play singles at one point against Granite Falls.
The result? A 6-0, 6-0 win for the Wolf ace and another quiet smile as she exited the court.
As she celebrates her birthday today, the best is still ahead for Miss Thorne.
With Coupeville moving into a new league, Wynter and her fellow seniors will be asked to carry the burden of leadership. Which shouldn’t be a problem.
The uniforms on the other bench may have changed, but the fate of rival players hasn’t.
You’re about to be sliced ‘n diced. You may be ready for spring, summer and fall, but when Wynter hits, all the preparation in the world won’t save you.
She may be sweet-natured off the court, but, between the lines, she’s a force of nature waiting to be unleashed on your heads.
Happy birthday, Wyntah! May your senior year play out exactly the way you hope.
