Coupeville’s point guard of the future is now playing in Colorado.

As a freshman last year, Carlie Rosenkrance was a swing player for the Wolves, getting more varsity floor time as the season progressed.

With her help, CHS won 10 games, including a home playoff game and put the building blocks in place for the future.

Much of that is paying off this year, as the Wolves sit atop the Olympic League with a 4-0 record (10-5 overall).

One thing that is missing, however, is Rosenkrance, who was ripped away from Wolf Nation when her dad Sheldon left his job as Coupeville High School principal to accept a superintendent position.

Now, the sophomore is playing her hoops at Estes Park High School, where she and the Bobcats have not had the same level of success as her former teammates in Cow Town.

Estes Park currently sits at 1-11 overall, 1-8 in league play.

Carlie, younger sister of former two-time CHS Female Athlete of the Year Cassidi Rosenkrance, has played in all 12 games, scoring 38 points, snagging 23 rebounds and making off with six steals.

Her best game was a 10-point performance against Strasberg, while she topped out with five rebounds against Lyons.

The administration at Coupeville High School will look radically different next school year.

Principal Sheldon Rosenkrance and Assistant Principal/Athletic Director Lori Stolee will both leave the school district at the end of the year.

One was by choice, the other by forced move.

Rosenkrance has accepted a superintendent position in Estes Park, Colorado.

Stolee’s position was cut after declining enrollment at CHS — the school is down 48 students over the past year — resulted in a “reduction in force.” The high school has six administrators and the state only funds 3.5 of them.

She will finish out the school year and will seek another job in school administration, most likely off the Island.

“I adore this community and have given my heart to them and to their kids,” Stolee said. “This community has been really good to me and I’ve made some close friends here.”

She is proudest of her work to move Coupeville, the smallest 1A school in the state, out of the 1A/2A Cascade Conference, where it routinely faced schools three times its size.

The Wolves will join the 1A Olympic League in the fall, something that was accomplished after long hours and much behind the scenes work by Stolee.

“Our greatest win was moving conferences. It will give the athletes, the coaches and the parents a new beginning,” Stolee said. “I’m just very sorry I will not be part of it.

“I will keep watching how they do, though,” she added. “I will always want to see that.”

When he departs, Rosenkrance will take with him wife Janie, the track coach at Coupeville Middle School, and their youngest daughter, Carlie, one of the more promising Wolf athletes.

Carlie, whose older sister Chelsea was a two-time CHS Female Athlete of the Year, is a freshman at CHS and played soccer and basketball and ran track for the Wolves. She played at the varsity level in all three sports.

While he’s excited about the new job, Rosenkrance will carry fond memories of his time in Coupeville.

“I have enjoyed my time in Coupeville,” he said. “It has been a wonderful place to live and raise my family.

“I am excited to start a new adventure in Estes Park and I know Coupeville is in a great position to continue to to grow and do great things for kids,” Rosenkrance added. “Coupeville is a great school with awesome students and a dedicated and talented staff that I will truly miss.”

The big guns were missing, so everyone else made up for it.

Competing without Makana Stone (sore knee) and Nick Streubel (illness), the Coupeville High School track squad still managed to collect 31 season best marks Thursday at a four-team meet in Duvall.

“Our athletes are making progress!,” said CHS coach Randy King. “Great to see practice effort and skill development leading to improved marks.”

Competing against South Whidbey, Granite Falls and host Cedarcrest, the Wolves nabbed a pair of wins, one slightly more impressive than the other.

The Wolf boys’ 4 x 100 relay squad came home with a first, but since they were the only foursome running in the event, anything less would have been a disappointment.

The bigger victory came in the girls’ 800, where Carlie Rosenkrance edged out fellow Wolf freshman Mattea Miller to nab the title. The pair were more than five seconds faster than any of the big school runners who joined them in the event.

They are getting closer and closer to the perfect defensive game.

First, the Coupeville High School JV girls’ basketball team held ATM scoreless for one eight-minute quarter. Then the Wolves blanked Mount Vernon Christian for a half. Tuesday night they stretched it to three quarters.

Only surrendering baskets in one quarter of play (the third), the Wolves romped to a 33-6 victory at Granite Falls in a game in which two Coupeville players would have outscored the Tigers by themselves.

“I was impressed by how much we have stepped up over these past few games and the improvements in these girls,” said Coupeville coach Amy King. “Defense really does win games; they believe it and their execution has been excellent.”

With their defense in lock-down mode, the Wolves were able to shrug off a slower than normal start. Picking up the scoring pace in the second quarter, Coupeville rode 10 first-half points from freshman Carlie Rosenkrance to an 18-0 halftime lead.

After a brief slip in the third (the Wolves actually allowed Granite to score), Coupeville went back into maniac, you-will-not-score mode in the fourth, putting a stamp on its win.

The Wolves, who normally spread their offense around through eight or nine players, limited the point-scoring duties to five Tuesday, with Rosenkrance finishing with 16.

Sophia Jebrail tossed in seven in support, to beat Granite by herself, while Kailey Kellner and Lauren Grove each popped for four. Wynter Thorne added a bucket in a brief appearance before moving up to play in the varsity game.

But it was all about defense — AGGRESSIVE defense — for the Wolves, with every girl on the court chipping in with a contribution.

“I have to give praise to Mattea (Miller) and her aggressive tone on the court,” King said. “She was anticipating everything and played solid the entire game.  She has a great shot but sometimes shots just don’t fall, so she put everything into defense.

Skyler (Lawrence) the same,” she added. “I asked her if she scored and with a smile she said they kept getting a hand in my face but I had a LOT of rebounds. Yes she did!”

Coming off of her varsity debut Saturday, Rosenkrance returned to the JV and lit up Granite Falls on both sides of the ball.

“I have never seen Carlie as aggressive as I saw her tonight,” King said. “She really stepped into a quiet leadership role and got a hand on so many of their passes, ripped the ball out of their hands on the press and drove the ball to score over and over again.”
