She’s coming home.
Pending approval from the school board, Wolf hoops legend Makana Stone has been hired as a Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball coach.
The move was announced Wednesday by Athletic Director Brad Sherman.
Stone replaces Bennett Richter, who stepped down to spend more time with his family, and she’ll join Brooke Crowder on the CMS sideline.
Practice for a new season of middle school girls’ basketball kicks off Monday, Jan. 27, with the first game tipping off Feb. 12.
Stone joins other CHS alumni such as Scout Smith, Megan Richter, and Sherman in coaching basketball at her alma mater.
She is the first, however, to make the jump from playing professional basketball to teaching the sport in Cow Town.
After stellar runs on the floor at CHS, Whitman College, and Loughborough University, Stone earned paychecks for putting the ball in the hoop in England, Norway, and the Netherlands.
The former Wolf ace has also worked extensively coaching younger players, both overseas and through clinics in America, with visits to Coupeville included in that work.
