They’re getting the old gang back together.
Highly successful juniors softball coach Kevin McGranahan is being reunited with his former Central Whidbey Little League players, after being tabbed as the new head coach for Coupeville High School.
The move was confirmed Tuesday by CHS Athletic Director Duane Baumann.
McGranahan replaces Deanna Rafferty, who resigned after one year at the helm of the Wolf program.
Rafferty went 7-12 and took her squad to the district playoffs last season.
She replaced David and Amy King, who stepped down in 2014, after taking Coupeville to its first trip to state in 12 years.
The duo have remained as CHS girls’ basketball coaches, but needed more time to focus on their real-life jobs.
McGranahan will inherit a squad which contains almost all of his players from his 2014 Venom squad, which went undefeated, ten-running every regular season foe en route to advancing to state.
That includes current sophomores like Katrina McGranahan, Hope Lodell and Lauren Rose, who all starred for the Wolves as freshmen, as well as big-hitting ninth graders Sarah Wright and Veronica Crownover.
