Feel the coaching itch?
Now’s the time to scratch it.
Coupeville High School has openings for a girls and boys tennis coach, while also looking for someone to head up the JV boys’ basketball program.
Meanwhile, the town’s middle school is looking for an 8th grade girls’ basketball coach to join Bennett Richter on the sideline.
The tennis jobs are open for the first time since 2005, with longtime net guru Ken Stange having retired this spring.
After this, he can be found groovin’ down at his establishment, Bailey’s Corner Store in Clinton, rockin’ trivia night and hosting an eclectic selection of bands.
Oh, and Stange can still kick your fanny on the tennis court as a player, even if he’s no longer an official coach.
JV boys’ basketball was led by former Wolf star Hunter Smith, but an impending marriage to fellow CHS grad Payton Aparicio and his real-world job lured the Coupeville Sports Hall of Famer away from Whidbey.
For the moment, at least.
Last, but certainly not least, former Wolf ace Mia Littlejohn, who worked with both high school and middle school hoops players, is returning to school herself.
Coupeville’s all-time leading female soccer scorer, now a mom to a very happy little girl, is hitting the books at Edmonds College.
