One baby to unite two empires.

Coupeville High School football and girls’ basketball head coaches Bennett and Megan Richter have added to the family, with Waylon joining super-excited big sis Adeline.

The birth gives Wolf legends Willie and Cherie Smith six grandchildren to spoil.

Plus, it gives me a reason to get to run baby photos, which are worth their weight in gold when it comes to page views.

So, win-win for everyone.

Football is on the horizon.

While the first game of the season isn’t until September, the Coupeville High School gridiron program gets things underway a week from today.

Gear will be handed out Monday, June 30, followed by Wolf coaches hosting a parent meeting, with everything going down in the health room.

That’s the first classroom on your left as you enter the CHS gym.

Family life calls.

With a precocious young daughter ready to learn the art of the crossover dribble and a wife who’ll be deep in coaching basketball during the winter, Bennett Richter is stepping back just a bit.

The ever-popular coach is still in charge of the Coupeville High School football program, but after two years, he will let others guide the town’s middle school girls’ hoops players.

Richter’s departure from the CMS post will be official once approved by the school board at its meeting next week.

In his resignation letter, he offered his thanks and well wishes.

Over the past two years, I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the team and have learned so much about coaching and supporting young athletes.

Watching these players grow and develop both on and off the court has been a rewarding experience that I will always treasure.

As I look forward to spending more time with my one-year-old daughter, I am also excited to have the opportunity to support my wife as she continues her own journey as a basketball coach.

While stepping away from this position is bittersweet, I am grateful for the memories, friendships, and valuable lessons I have gained during my time with the team.

Thank you for the trust you placed in me and for all the support from the school, the students, and their families.

I look forward to cheering on the team from the sidelines and celebrating their continued success.

Warm regards,

Bennett Richter

He’s an internet star now.

Coupeville High School head football coach Bennett Richter, basking in the glow of a 4-1 start, made his debut Monday on KRKO’s weekly prep sports podcast.

The velvet-voiced leader of the Wolves pops up at about the 45-minute mark, and his segment runs for approximately 15 minutes.

During his on-air run, Richter talks about the stunning late-game comeback win over Cedar Park Christian 10 days ago, Coupeville football’s annual bluff run, his appreciation of beards, and his love for his players.

Plus, Coupeville Sports gets name-dropped by the podcasters, so there’s that.
