Kevin Abramson can still hear Gary Weigel’s farm-boy laugh coming from the end zone of the Mount Si High stadium.

It was his senior year, the last game of the season and the stands at the North Bend school caught fire, suspending action and forcing the team to finish the following Tuesday, which, Abramson said, gave the team time to work on the “senior play.”

With the team’s seniors on the field, and the ball on Mount Si’s 25-yard line, the triple reverse went into action.

Signal-caller Abramson handed the ball to Kelly Kahne, who in turn handed it to Gary Yaconetti. Yaconetti gave it to Jeff Ferris who, under pressure, pitched it back to Abramson.

While all that was going on in the backfield, left tackle Weigel, who was lined up as an eligible receiver, was lumbering his way to the end zone.

“I threw him the ball and I swear I could hear him laughing in the end zone,” Abramson said of the touchdown that helped the Hornets win the game. “It was a great play. We should have used it all year.”

Friday night, Abramson will get to share many stories with friends and family as he is inducted into Enumclaw High’s athletic Hall of Fame.

Abramson was a key cog in the Hornets’ football machine as a three-year starter at quarterback, where he set multiple school passing, rushing and touchdown records.

He was also a three-year letter winner in basketball, starting at guard his junior and senior seasons. In 1973, the Hornets finished fifth in state with Abramson setting a state record for assists.

In baseball, at shortstop, Abramson was again a three-year starter and was part of the Hornets’ 1973 team that finished second at state.

Abramson received multiple honors in all three sports.

After graduation in 1973, he narrowed his focus to baseball at Yakima Valley College, where he started at third base. In 1974, YVC won the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges tournament and Abramson set a tournament record for hits and RBIs, which remained until recently.

As a youngster, Abramson remembers watching fellow inductees Warren Lokovsek and Rich Hall play.

“I remember vividly watching Warney play,” he said.

He’s still a Hornet fan. Living in the area allows him to catch the games on a regular basis, the only difference this Friday night – he’s the center of attention at halftime.

“It’s kind of humbling,” he said.
