Shannon Leatherwood

The Coupeville School Board voted Thursday to extend Superintendent Shannon Leatherwood’s contract an additional year.

The new contract covers July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2029.

Voting was 4-0, with board member Chic Merwine absent after leaving mid-meeting to deal with a family matter.

The board previously voted in June 2025 to extend Leatherwood through 2028 and gave her a raise at that time from $194,704 to $200,604.

Leatherwood, who replaced Steve King in 2024, was previously the Principal at Spanaway Middle School, where she was named the 2023 Washington State Secondary Principal of the Year.

She has a Master of Education degree from Gonzaga University and a Bachelor of Education from Saint Martin’s University and later continued her education through Central Washington University and Washington State University.

Everybody gets some!

January 28, 2026 by David Svien

Tickets? We don’t need to punch no stinkin’ tickets!

Or win any games…

When the District 1/2 playoffs start Feb. 12 every one of the five 2B schools in the seven-team Northwest 2B/1B League will be sending both its boys and girls basketball teams to the postseason.

Yes, even the La Conner boys, who are currently 0-17 with two regular season games left to play.

Even they get some.

We already knew both 1B schools — Concrete and Darrington — would advance to their own tourney.

But this year, unlike in previous seasons, they’re sweeping all the 2B schools into the playoffs as well.

The boys’ tourney will be a seven-team rumble, with Coupeville, Mount Vernon Christian, La Conner, Orcas Island, and Friday Harbor being joined by Auburn Adventist Academy and Summit Atlas from District 2.

On the girls’ side of things, it’s a six-team fracas, with the NWL teams joined by Auburn Adventist Academy.

Both tourneys are double elimination, with seeding announced Feb. 7. Tune in then to find out whether Coupeville’s teams get to play at home or not.

From bi-districts, two boys’ teams and three girls’ teams advance to state this season.

Three-ball barrage sinks CHS girls

Some nights you can’t escape the storm.

Tuesday was one of those moments for the Coupeville High School varsity girls’ basketball team, as host Mount Vernon Christian buried an astonishing 15 three-balls en route to a 78-19 win.

The road loss, coming to a team with realistic dreams of competing for a state title, drops the Wolves to 1-7 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 4-12 overall.

Scout Smith’s squad returns to action Friday, when it hosts La Conner, which at 7-1 in conference action, is a half-game back of MVC, which sits at 7-0.

After that Senior Night showdown, the Wolves close the regular season Feb. 6 with a road trip to Friday Harbor.

Tuesday’s clash got off to a brutal start for Coupeville, as the ‘Canes netted seven shots from behind the arc to nab a 33-8 lead heading into the first break.

From there MVC pushed the margin out to 52-15 at the half, then 68-15 after holding CHS scoreless in the third quarter.

Six of 10 Wolves did score on the night, with sophomore Tenley Stuurmans knocking down six points to pace the attack.

Arianna Cunningham (4), Adeline Maynes (3), Teagan Calkins (3), Haylee Armstrong (2), and Lexis Drake also tallied points, with Danica Strong, Capri Anter, Sydney Van Dyke, and Kennedy O’Neill rounding out the rotation.

Maynes, Cunningham, and Calkins each netted a three-ball for the Wolves.
