The sound of squeaking shoes on gym floors is almost upon us.

The first day of practice for Coupeville High School basketball teams is next Monday, Nov. 17, with the first Wolf games set for Dec. 2.

CHS varsity head coaches Megan Richter and Brad Sherman, and their assistants will guide their squads through seasons which run through possibly March.

Currently the Wolf boys have 19 games on the schedule, with their female counterparts down for 18, with the boys (two tilts) and girls (three rumbles) both set to play in a holiday tournament.

Included in that are 10 games against Coupeville’s fellow Northwest 2B/1B League rivals, as the Wolves play 2B foes La Conner, Mount Vernon Christian, Orcas Island, and Friday Harbor twice, while squaring off with 1B schools Darrington and Concrete once.

Write everything down in pencil, as the Wolf girls are expected to add at least one more game, and winter weather can always play havoc with everything.

But here at least is a tease of what could be:

She’s calling the shots.

Coupeville grad Makana Stone, a hoops sensation as a player at the high school, college, and professional level, has also been crafting a career as a coach.

She’s worked with young players both in the US and overseas, and now, on the heels of a run as a middle school guru in her hometown, she’s making a big jump.

Stone will lead the women’s basketball program at Walla Walla University, after being named head coach in late August.

The Wolves rep an NAIA Division II school and kickoff the 2025-2026 season with a scrimmage Oct. 23 against Walla Walla Community College.

Their first official game is Oct. 30 against the Northwest Indian College, with a 28-game season running through February.

Stone fans can circle Dec. 10, when Walla Walla hosts her alma mater, Whitman College, in a non-conference clash.

After graduating from Coupeville High School in 2016 as the #3 scorer and #1 rebounder in Wolf girls’ basketball history, Andre’s sister earned Northwest Conference Player of the Year honors at Whitman in 2019-2020.

She singed the nets for 1,000+ points for the Blues, then moved overseas, playing at Loughborough University in England, where she earned a master’s degree in exercise physiology.

Stone played professionally in England, Norway, and the Netherlands, earning checks while dropping double-doubles on a nightly basis.

Throughout her hoops career, Eileen and Josh’s daughter has passed on hardwood wisdom to others, something she ramped up while coaching U14 and U16 girls’ teams in Norway.

Back in America, she has run hoops clinics with Jaron Kirkley and teamed up with Brooke Crowder to lead the Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball program last season.

The hardcourt ace, who went on to play two seasons of hoops at Skagit Valley College, will be headlining a summer basketball camp set for July 22-24.
