Be like Wynter Thorne and focus on the best of Coupeville sports. (John Fisken photo)
There has never been a better time to harass me.
Seriously.
I want your emails. Your chiding, cajoling and impassioned smacks (metaphorically at least) on the back of my head.
Each Sunday for the past four weeks I have inducted a class into the Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame (take a gander at the Legends tab at the top of the blog to see who’s in so far), and only one vote counts when I make my weekly decision.
That would be mine. It’s a dictatorship.
But, and it’s a big but, I do want and need your input.
I’ve covered sports on Whidbey Island for 25 years and have a fairly decent handle on Coupeville-related sporting activities.
Doesn’t mean I know everything (or even anything), though.
I need you, my readers, to put some thought into who and what you would like to see immortalized in these hallowed digital walls.
There are six categories — Female Athlete, Male Athlete, Coach, Contributor, Team and Moment.
There has to be some connection to Coupeville — I’m not covering Renton here — but, other than that small rule, I am fully willing to listen to wherever your brain goes.
You can nominate anyone and anything. Go back to the 1920s or just yesterday.
Be shameless if you want. Nominate yourself.
If you’re proud of what you’ve accomplished and make a compelling argument, I’ll consider it. And I won’t even tell anyone you nominated yourself.
The Hall o’ Fame, like all of Coupeville Sports, lives and dies as a community thing.
I’m the guy who is pulling it all together, but I can’t do what I do without a lot of help.
I have a general idea of where I’m going with the Hall o’ Fame, a list of potential honorees, but I am super-flexible and waiting to be guided by the wisdom of Wolf Nation.
So, let’s see some action, folks.
Email me at davidsvien@hotmail.com. Message me on Facebook.
Corner me at the grocery store or, once a new school year starts, at one of the many high school or middle school games.
The ball is in your court. Talk to me.
