It is the disappearing act no one will talk about. On the record at least.
Coupeville High School cheer coach Cheridan Eck hasn’t been on the sideline during the past two Wolf football games.
She was absent Sept. 30, a home game against Vashon Island, and CHS principal Duane Baumann was in her place.
A week rolled by, and CHS assistant principal Melissa Rohr stood in for Eck during Friday’s Homecoming game against Port Townsend.
Without a credentialed cheer coach in place, the Wolf cheerleaders did no stunting at either game.
School officials have not responded to requests for comment.
Multiple Wolf cheerleaders, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed they have been interviewed by school officials, and were asked about their experiences working with Eck.
The cheer coach declined to comment, saying she had been told by the school not to speak publicly on the matter.
Eck is in her third season as head coach, running the CHS program through both football and basketball seasons.
Before that, she was an assistant coach under Sylvia Arnold, who retired in 2013.
