It’s cake day, times two.
Coupeville High School athletes Tyler Cermak and William Nelson share a birthday, and a sense of easy-going cool.
For Nelson, he shows it as he glides across the tennis court and soccer pitch, rarely looking flustered, but always leaving his foes looking downright baffled.
In Cermak’s case, the football player who has had to adapt into becoming perhaps the best manager in the world as he deals with health issues, he never breaks a sweat as well.
Whether it’s scooping up vital info from the gridiron and slipping it my way while never letting the camera bobble as he shoots action, or staying above it all as the longtime Patriots fan is verbally harassed by jealous Seahawk “fans,” he, like Nelson, is one cool dude.
The duo also excel at supporting their classmates, and can be seen at almost every CHS game, knee-deep in the action of the Wolf student section.
As both celebrate their birthday, we just want to send them our best.
Both you guys come across as top-quality dudes, on and off the field, and it’s an honor to have you front and center in Wolf Nation.
Now, did someone say something about cake?!?!
