Former Coupeville High School football coach Brett Smedley has resigned from his gridiron position at his alma mater, Columbia River.
The husband of the school’s two-time state champion volleyball coach, Breanne Smedley, held the head job for four seasons after putting in three campaigns as defensive coordinator.
He led the Rapids to playoff berths in 2019 and 2021 but is stepping down now to focus on family.
Brett and Breeanne have two children, ages four and one.
Smedley, who graduated from Columbia River in 2003, plans to remain at the school as a PE teacher and assistant track coach.
During his four years in Coupeville, he coached middle school basketball in addition to working with the high school’s football program, first as an assistant to Tony Maggio, then as a head coach for one season.
Smedley was head coach in 2015, when Wolf quarterback Gabe Eck threw for a school single-game record of 403 yards in a win over Chimacum, a mark which still stands.
