Megan Smith has left the gym (for a bit)!!

Posted in Change is in the air, Girls Basketball, tagged , , , on September 5, 2017| Leave a Comment »

   A new teaching job will prevent Wolf legend Megan Smith from continuing as a CMS basketball coach.

One legend down.

Megan Smith, who made the jump from Coupeville High School hoops star to middle school coach, is stepping away from running the CMS 7th grade girls basketball team.

At least for a bit.

Smith’s new real-world job, as a teacher with Hand in Hand Head Start, which allows her to follow in the footsteps of mom Cherie, requires a detour out of the gym.

“With my new job, the hours just don’t work out,” Smith said. “But I do plan on returning eventually!

“So don’t count me out. I’m not done forever, just for now.”

Smith went 6-4 in her one year at the helm of the 7th grade program.

Her departure means both CMS girls basketball jobs are open, since 8th grade coach Ryan King stepped down after last season.

Before graduating from CHS in 2010, Smith was a 12-time letter winner (volleyball, basketball and softball) who was voted the school’s Female Athlete of the Year three straight times.

She is the fourth-leading scorer in Wolf girls basketball history with 1,042 points.

No word yet on whether her departure from the coaching ranks will make Coupeville Athletic Director (and dad) Willie Smith remove Megan from his will.

Coaching opportunities abound!!

Want to coach? Now’s your time.

There are seven openings currently listed for Coupeville High School or Middle School, four in sports and three in activities.

While there are no varsity high school head coaching positions currently open, there are still a wide range of opportunities if you’re looking to come down from the stands and make an impact on the current generation of Wolves.

Now, there’s a school board meeting set for next Wednesday, July 26, and once the agenda gets released in the next couple of days, it’s possible we’ll find out some of the jobs are about to be filled.

But, as of 1 PM Friday, CHS is still advertising for applicants for an assistant volleyball coach and CMS is looking for an assistant football coach and head coaches for girls basketball and volleyball.

The middle school volleyball position is the newest one to hit, as it was posted today.

The school district is also looking to hire advisors for Science Olympiad and Drama.

Peg Tennant held the drama advisor position for both CHS and CMS for many years, but, following her recent retirement, the jobs are being advertised as separate positions.

Coupeville ace heads to state tourney!!

Ginnings gets ready to rip.

The uniform says North Whidbey Little League, but it was a Central Whidbey mercenary who got the final out.

Coupeville’s Nathan Ginnings slammed the door on Anacortes Sunday, striking out the final hitter in a 12-2 win that punches a ticket to the state tourney.

Oak Harbor’s 11/12 baseball squad (and its Coupeville star) head to Federal Way for the big dance.

NWLL has a first-round bye, then opens play Sunday, July 16.

Playing at South Whidbey in the District 11 championship, North Whidbey needed just one win to claim the title, while Anacortes would have needed a doubleheader sweep.

Oak Harbor’s sluggers, with Ginnings playing most of the game at third base, put things away early, torching Anacortes for eight runs in the third inning.

Ginnings, who played for NWLL since Central Whidbey couldn’t get enough players to field a full squad this season, reached base on an error and a fielder’s choice and scored a run.

Bright attitude, bright future!!

She’s working hard for the future, smiling all the way.

Abby (Clinkscales) Meyers has made several appearances in the CHS weight room this summer, taking part in the school’s SST training program.

Working alongside older sister Heidi, Abby, who will be an 8th grader at CMS in the fall, is preparing for multiple sports.

After playing middle school volleyball and little league softball during her first year in Coupeville, Meyers plans to branch out and add basketball in year two.

While she enjoys all of her sports, diamond life is the life for her.

“My favorite sport is softball because I really enjoy the game,” Meyers said. “I had some great coaches in Mike Peters and Lark Gustafson this year that helped me improve a lot.”

Playing team sports gives her a chance to interact with new friends, something she embraces.

“I enjoy the energy you get from your teammates and learning new things every year,” Meyers said. “My strengths are cheering on my teammates, being supportive and helping whenever I can.”

Like most young athletes, she is discovering new strengths every day, and always wants to remain open to all the possibilities out there.

“What I’d like to work on is stepping out of my comfort zone,” Meyers said. “To try new positions as suggested by my coaches.

“My high school sports career goals would be to keep growing as a player and helping my teammates.”

Away from the playing field, she excels in her art and math classes and enjoys “drawing, reading and caring for animals,” with an eye on a possible career as a small animal vet.

Whether she’s swinging a softball bat or an art brush, Meyers has a strong support crew, something which means a lot to her.

“Many people have helped me become the person I am today,” she said.

“My Aunt Pat giving me my daily guidance, my coaches Lark and Mike for their encouragement, and my sisters Heidi and Lilly for always being there through it all.”
