There’s a new man with a plan.
Brad Sherman, a Coupeville grad who currently teaches and coaches at the school, has been named as the new athletic director for the high school and middle school.
He replaces Willie Smith, who is retiring from the AD position at the end of the school year.
The transition will be official when the school board approves the hire at its next meeting, with Sherman beginning his duties this summer.
Sherman, a 2003 CHS grad, is a father of four precocious lads, husband to Abbey, and the oldest of Don and Debbie’s three sons.
Both his dad and grandfather, as well as his brothers, are Wolf grads, while mom is a longtime legend in the Coupeville classroom.
During his days as a student at CHS, Brad was a football, basketball, and baseball star, playing for the “holy trinity” of Wolf coaches — Ron Bagby, Randy King, and Willie Smith.
The first and third from that group preceded Sherman in the AD role, and the new head man currently occupies Bagby’s former office in the school’s locker room.
After a stint working in politics in Olympia, Brad Sherman returned to the prairie to start his own family and joined mom in the teaching ranks.
He worked as an assistant football coach for the Wolves and has been the head boys’ basketball coach the past seven seasons.
During that time, Sherman has won 70 games while leading CHS to a pair of league titles, two bi-district crowns, and two trips to the state tourney.
His 2021-2022 squad went 16-0 during the regular season, capturing the first undefeated campaign in the 100+ year history of the program.
Those Wolves were the first CHS boys’ hoops team to win a league title in 20+ seasons, and only the second to win a district-level title, joining the 1969-1970 team.
This past season, Sherman, who still sits #9 on the all-time scoring list with 874 points, helped guide Logan Downes to the finish line, as he set the record for most points scored by a Wolf male athlete.
