She’s coming home.
Coupeville grad Raven Vick, a two-sport star during her time as a Wolf, has been tabbed to coach middle school volleyball in the same gyms where she once played.
Vick replaces Katie Kiel, who moved to California, and will work with Cris Matochi as they prepare young spikers for the journey ahead of them.
The hire was confirmed Friday by Coupeville Athletic Director Willie Smith and will be official after the school board approves it.
Middle school volleyball practice kicks off this coming Monday, Sept. 12, with the first match Sept. 29 at Langley.
Vick’s first home match as a coach is Oct. 3, with Lakewood visiting Whidbey.

During their senior season, the sisters were part of a Wolf spiker squad which tied the program record with 14 wins.
A strong all-around player, Raven’s best work came at the service stripe, where she ripped off lasers on a regular basis.
On the track oval, she put in three seasons, losing out on her senior campaign when the pandemic erased all spring sports.
Raven ran the 1500 and 1600 as a freshman, before moving full-time into throwing events.
She advanced to the league championships in the shot put, discus, and javelin, while making it to districts and bi-districts in the last of those three events.
