New year, new adventures.
Coupeville Middle School volleyball coach Katie Kiel has left the Wolf bench after a season.
The change is due to her now living and working in California, which puts a pretty big crimp in commuting daily to Whidbey Island.
Kiel, a 2013 Coupeville grad who played volleyball and basketball for the Wolves, returned to her alma mater last year.
She joined fellow coach Cris Matochi in bringing the CMS spiker program out of a pandemic shutdown and was a lively presence in the gym.
Whether working with young spikers on a one-on-one basis or providing the local press with stats, info, and insights, Kiel had a very-positive impact.
CMS volleyball kicks off a new season with the first day of practice Sept. 12.
Kiel’s job has been posted, and Coupeville Athletic Director Willie Smith is hustling to find a replacement to work with Matochi.
