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.

Memorial set for beloved teacher

Posted in In memory, tagged , , , , on December 6, 2025| Leave a Comment »

A celebration of life service has been set for Edmundo Corrales, who was killed in a car accident Monday near Deception Pass.

The 2007 graduate of Oak Harbor High School lived on Whidbey with his wife and young daughter, while teaching Spanish and coaching multiple sports in the Anacortes School District.

Corrales, who worked at Oak Harbor’s Blue Fox Drive-In Theater before becoming a teacher, played on the 2006 Wildcat football team which won the program’s only state title.

Two of his teammates on that squad, Bobby Carr and Bennett Richter, currently coach football at Coupeville High School.

After earning his bachelor’s degree in kinesiology and exercise science at Whitworth University, Corrales was hired as an assistant football coach at Sedro-Woolley High School, where he worked for his former OHHS coach, Dave Ward.

Corrales had worked for the Anacortes School District since 2018, where he coached golf, wrestling, and trap and skeet shooting.

Edmundo Corrales and his family.

Several communities are rallying to help the wife and young daughter of a well-loved local teacher killed in a head-on car collision Monday by Deception Pass.

Edmundo Corrales, a 2007 graduate of Oak Harbor High School who lived on Whidbey, taught Spanish and coached multiple sports in the Anacortes School District.

His connections to The Rock were many, as he played on the OHHS state championship football team in 2006 alongside current Coupeville gridiron coaches Bobby Carr and Bennett Richter.

Corrales also worked at Oak Harbor’s Blue Fox Drive-In Theater before becoming a teacher.

After earning his bachelor’s degree in kinesiology and exercise science at Whitworth University, the former Wildcat was hired as an assistant football coach at Sedro-Woolley High School, where he worked for his former OHHS coach, Dave Ward.

Corrales has worked for the Anacortes School District since 2018, where he coached golf, wrestling, and trap and skeet shooting.

Friends of the family have launched a GoFundMe to aid his wife, Meghan, and their seven-month-old daughter, Daphne.

He fought until the final play, the final yard, every time, and was rewarded for it.

Coupeville High School senior Chase Anderson was named an All-Conference First-Team selection at three positions, honored by Northwest 2B/1B League football coaches as a quarterback, kicker, and linebacker.

He was also nominated for the All-State game, with final rosters for that contest to be named at a later date.

Joining Anderson as a First-Team All-League player were seniors Camden Glover (Defensive Line) and Malachi Somes (Defensive Back) and juniors Davin Houston (Defensive Back) and Riley Lawless (Offensive Line and Defensive Line).
