Mia Littlejohn
Bennett Richter
There’s a new duo in the gym.
Coupeville High School head football coach Bennett Richter and former Wolf hoops star Mia Littlejohn are taking over the town’s middle school girls’ basketball program.
The hires will be official after the school board approves the move at its next meeting.
Richter and Littlejohn replace Kassie O’Neil, now coaching the high school’s JV girls’ team, and Kristina Forbes, who resigned due to other obligations.
The CMS girls hit the court this Monday, Jan. 23 for the first day of practice, with the eight-game season running Feb. 9-Mar. 9.
Bennett Richter, who led CHS football to its first league title and state playoff berth since 1990 during the fall, is the husband of high school girls’ varsity basketball coach Megan Richter.
He’s also proven to be quite handy with a floor mop, dazzling Wolf fans with his work during timeouts at high school hoops games this winter.
Littlejohn was a standout two-sport athlete during a three-year run at CHS, before transferring to Oak Harbor High School, where she graduated in 2018.
Mia owns both the season (27) and career (35) scoring records for Wolf girls’ soccer players, and currently sits #36 all-time on the CHS girls’ basketball career scoring chart with 317 points.
She has been working as an assistant coach with the high school girls’ basketball team this winter.
