He’s #1 with a spike.
With softball guru Kevin McGranahan’s departure, volleyball wizard Cory Whitmore is now the winningest active coach at Coupeville High School.
Even with the 2020 season cut in half by the pandemic, the court ace boasts an 88-43 mark during his time at CHS, with trips to the state tourney in 2017 and 2023.
Boys’ basketball head man Brad Sherman, who now doubles as the school’s athletic director, is #2 with 70 wins and counting.
After that it drops down to baseball coach Steve Hilborn and girls’ basketball leader Megan Richter, at 28 and 26 respectively.
Boys’ soccer top dog Robert Wood (16) and football signal caller Bennett Richter (9) are the only other active CHS coaches with victories.
McGranahan won 111 games before exiting this summer.
This will be the ninth season at the helm of the Wolf spiker program for Whitmore, who has posted a winning mark in each campaign.
His tally:
2016: 11-6
2017: 13-5
2018: 11-5
2019: 14-5
2020: 6-3
2021: 11-6
2022: 10-6
2023: 12-7
Not counting tournaments, Coupeville is slated to play 14 regular season matches, then hopes to have a long postseason run.
That leaves open a very real possibility Whitmore could crack triple-digit wins this fall, putting a little distance between himself and Sherman before basketball gears back up in the winter.
