Monday is cake day for Ryan Freeman. (John Fisken photos)
Desmond Bell follows suit on Tuesday.
Two guys, two different sports, two birthdays over two days, too awesome.
Former Coupeville High School soccer star Ryan Freeman, who celebrates his cake day today, and current CHS hoopster Desmond Bell, who hits his milestone Tuesday, have both had a considerable impact on Wolf Nation.
Freeman gets his props for running the soccer pitch like a racehorse, slicin’ ‘n dicin’ and getting his feet on more than his share of loose balls.
Helping to set up big-time goal scorers Abraham Leyva and Sebastian Davis last season, he was one of those unsung players that are so valuable to a successful squad.
One of nine seniors who departed after last spring, Freeman may be gone from the CHS hallways, but he’s far from forgotten.
Bell is still striding across campus and about to kick off his senior year of basketball tonight, when the Wolves open a new season at Meridian.
As a junior, Desmond was one of the more explosive players on the Wolf JV, a little raw, but capable of pulling off big exploits when everything clicked together.
Now, he’s made the jump to varsity, where his quickness and hops should help make the Wolves a hard-attacking team.
As the duo mark their birthdays, we just want to take a moment here at Coupeville Sports to say thank you, for what you’ve done in the past.
Both of you provided plenty of things to write about, and I greatly appreciate it.
Now go celebrate and keep on blazing the same trail of success you’ve been following so far.
Happy birthday, guys!
