Coupeville grad Abby Mulholland was seriously injured in a rollover car crash Thursday morning.

The former Wolf, who played volleyball, basketball, and tennis during her time at CHS, is in the intensive care unit at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Lewiston, Idaho.

Mulholland, who was a passenger in the back seat, was ejected from the vehicle and suffered extensive injuries, according to family.

These include two neck fractures, a brain bleed — which has shown signs of improvement — a broken arm, broken pelvis, hip fracture, liver laceration, spleen laceration, deep knee cuts, and a bruised lung.

Mulholland is alert and talking, and family have been able to join her in Idaho.

“We give all thanks to God that she is alive and gets a second chance at life,” the family said in a statement on Facebook.

“We appreciate all thoughts and prayers.”

Mulholland is a vital part of one of Coupeville’s most well-known athletic families.

Dad Moose is the voice of Wolf sports, delivering smooth wordplay on the mic at many contests, while mom Renae is part of the Keefe clan, which has produced a steady stream of star athletes over the years.

“That school bus represents hope”

Ready to chow down.

Brad Sherman is Coupeville through and through.

A teacher and head boys basketball coach at CHS, he and his brothers are the third generation of their family to graduate on the prairie.

Now Brad and wife Abbey have four young boys who are beginning their own school journeys in the town where their dad and grandma Deb are both teachers.

As everyone adjusts to the school shut-down brought on by the nation’s battle with the coronavirus pandemic, Coupeville’s Connected Food Program has made sure local students are still being fed.

One teacher and father’s thoughts, as Brad Sherman shares his perspective with us:

Brady looks out the window each morning when it’s approaching the time for lunches to arrive – he knows once he sees the bus turn on Sherman Road that he’s got about two minutes before they get around the loop to our house.

And when he sees the bus, and his bus driver (shout out to Mr. Jump), and whichever staff member is volunteering on the route to hand him lunches each day, he grins from ear to ear.

The other day, Mr. Kemmer was that staff member.

When the boys asked for turkey sandwiches, he responded: “Gobble, gobble.”

They called my mom to tell her how funny he was.

Our kids don’t understand the magnitude of what’s going on around them. They just know something is very different.

They miss their friends.

They wonder why they aren’t starting tee-ball.

And for them, this is about more than lunches.

It’s about a little bit of normal. That school bus represents hope.

It represents the hard work of so many at a school district that sincerely loves its kids.

Proud to call Coupeville home.

Proud to call this my school district.

And proud to work with a whole lot of amazing people.

Go Wolves!

Write me something. Anything.

The Sad Coyote compels you.

Coupeville students (of any age), parents, teachers, coaches:

If you’re looking for things to occupy you during the six-week school shutdown, I have an offer.

Write something. ANYTHING.

Sports or non-sports. Doesn’t matter.

Buff and polish every word, or just drop some random thoughts.

Vent about the spring sports season you’re losing.

Tell us about your cat, or what you just watched on Netflix.

Write a poem, or, especially for young children, draw us something and take a photo.

Then send it to me, either on Facebook or at davidsvien@hotmail.com, and I will publish it on Coupeville Sports, so the whole world can see your work.

As a community, we are likely going to be forced apart in the coming weeks. This is a way to shorten that distance.
