A spring of change has reached the executive office.
On the heels of Coupeville High School losing its volleyball and boys’ soccer coaches, Athletic Director Brad Sherman has announced he is stepping down at the end of the school year.
The popular leader, who is in his first year on the job, will remain as a teacher and head boys’ basketball coach.
Sherman and wife Abbey have four young sons, and finding a proper family balance is driving the decision to pass on the AD position to someone else.
“When I stepped in, I had seen myself doing this for many years to come,” Sherman said. “But I need to find a better balance for my young family right now.
“We have four boys ages 10 and under who are growing up fast. As we juggle their growing schedules during this season of life, I need to step away to be more present in these years ahead.”
Through the remainder of the year, and in the time after, Sherman will continue to do the upmost to help CHS and its students.
“I remain committed to Coupeville athletics through the boys basketball program entering my ninth season, in addition to working with young athletes through my own kids youth programs,” he said.
“I’m inspired daily by the team of coaches we have in Coupeville and how hard they work for student-athletes.
“I’m inspired by our athletes – who work so hard and represent the Wolf uniform the way they do, so consistently. And I’m grateful for the community we live in that supports our programs at every turn.
“I will continue to help our programs however I can – I just need to do it in a different capacity than I did this year.”
Sherman, who recently celebrated his 40th birthday, is the oldest of Don and Deb’s three sons.
He was part of the CHS Class of 2003 and put together a stellar prep career as a basketball, football, and baseball player.
His 874 points on the hardwood still ranks #9 all-time for a Wolf hoops program which began in 1917.
That’s a program Sherman has led since 2017, with Coupeville advancing to the state tourney in both 2022 and 2024.
