The Terminator turns 15 today.
Coupeville High School freshman Veronica Crownover is celebrating her cake day just 11 sleeps ahead of the start of spring sports.
Come Monday, Mar. 29, unless there’s a terrible plot twist, the multi-talented one will hit the softball field, where she’ll be reunited with her teammates and coaches from the Venom squad that destroyed people in the summer before she hit 8th grade.
In the time since then, VV has continued to sharpen her softball skills, while also regularly popping up on honor rolls at school and delving into the theater arts.
But, as much as I approve of her side endeavors (education, it’s good for you!), it’s the diamond where I look forward to Crownover making a huge impact.
Owner of a big, booming bat and a slick glove at first base, she and fellow frosh softball phenom Sarah Wright are set to be stars from day one.
Seeing them get the chance to reunite with Katrina McGranahan, Lauren Rose, Hope Lodell and others (plus “new” old coaches Kevin McGranahan and Ron Wright) should be one of the biggest highlights of the upcoming season.
As she prepares to set up camp on the CHS diamond and go after all the records (all of them, I said), we just want to take a quick moment to wish Veronica a happy birthday.
May your day be awesome, Miss Crownover, and may the time fly by until you return to rule your softball kingdom.
