It’s a birthday bonanza.
Two of Coupeville’s best and brightest, Jasmine Melena and Mia Littlejohn, celebrate joint cake days Saturday and the festivities sweep the nation.
The duo are united by the soccer pitch, while Littlejohn is also a Wolf hoops star and Melena has suited up for the CHS softball squad.
Regardless of the field of battle they take, both Jasmine and Mia are exemplary young women, whose personalities bring a noticeable spark to all they do.
Littlejohn is fast emerging as one of the most innovative of all Wolf athletes, a firecracker who never backs down and creates magic on the fly.
From the “Jersey girl” at the middle school level who juked foes out of their shoes, spun them around and left them flat on their butt as she sped by, to the more seasoned team leader she is becoming, Mia is part of the gold standard for Coupeville athletes.
A quiet warrior who lets her skills do much of the talking for her, the Wolf sophomore is on her way to being something truly special.
Melena is an ideal role player, the sort who is always there to support her teammates, and, when she’s not playing, often pops up in the stands at other events to cheer on her classmates.
Jasmine always exudes a remarkably serene spirit, and the Wolf junior is truly indispensable.
As the duo celebrate their big day, we just want to take a moment to pop in and wish them both the best, today and every day.
Happy birthday, and may your futures remain as bright as your present.
