A new teaching job will prevent Wolf legend Megan Smith from continuing as a CMS basketball coach.
One legend down.
Megan Smith, who made the jump from Coupeville High School hoops star to middle school coach, is stepping away from running the CMS 7th grade girls basketball team.
At least for a bit.
Smith’s new real-world job, as a teacher with Hand in Hand Head Start, which allows her to follow in the footsteps of mom Cherie, requires a detour out of the gym.
“With my new job, the hours just don’t work out,” Smith said. “But I do plan on returning eventually!
“So don’t count me out. I’m not done forever, just for now.”
Smith went 6-4 in her one year at the helm of the 7th grade program.
Her departure means both CMS girls basketball jobs are open, since 8th grade coach Ryan King stepped down after last season.
Before graduating from CHS in 2010, Smith was a 12-time letter winner (volleyball, basketball and softball) who was voted the school’s Female Athlete of the Year three straight times.
She is the fourth-leading scorer in Wolf girls basketball history with 1,042 points.
No word yet on whether her departure from the coaching ranks will make Coupeville Athletic Director (and dad) Willie Smith remove Megan from his will.
