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.

They’re changing up roles, for a season.

Coupeville High School girls’ basketball head coach Megan Richter is slated to deliver baby #2 shortly after the season tips off, so she’s handing off a chunk of her duties to JV coach Scout Smith.

Smith will slide into the main chair, with Lark Gustafson and Alita Blouin running the second squad during the 2025-2026 campaign.

While she won’t be front and center for a bit, Richter will be available as a resource and intends to be back on the sideline fulltime next season.

For now, though, “I’ll be around for the first couple of weeks as long as my body allows, but Scout is in charge from the beginning to the end this season.”

Smith, who scored 290 points during her time as a player with the Wolf hoops program, just wrapped her first season as varsity head coach with CHS volleyball.

A former CHS Female Athlete of the Year winner, she played volleyball, basketball, and softball for the school, helping lead both the spikers and diamond dandies to state as a team captain.

After graduating with degrees from the University of Washington and Gonzaga, she returned to her alma mater as a teacher and coach.

For her part, Smith is ready and raring to get going.

“I am super excited to lead this team this year,” she said.

“We have a great group of girls. A lot of really talented athletes and they are a blast to work with.

“I’m really glad I get to continue working with so many of the same players I just had in volleyball.”

The sound of squeaking shoes on gym floors is almost upon us.

The first day of practice for Coupeville High School basketball teams is next Monday, Nov. 17, with the first Wolf games set for Dec. 2.

CHS varsity head coaches Megan Richter and Brad Sherman, and their assistants will guide their squads through seasons which run through possibly March.

Currently the Wolf boys have 19 games on the schedule, with their female counterparts down for 18, with the boys (two tilts) and girls (three rumbles) both set to play in a holiday tournament.

Included in that are 10 games against Coupeville’s fellow Northwest 2B/1B League rivals, as the Wolves play 2B foes La Conner, Mount Vernon Christian, Orcas Island, and Friday Harbor twice, while squaring off with 1B schools Darrington and Concrete once.

Write everything down in pencil, as the Wolf girls are expected to add at least one more game, and winter weather can always play havoc with everything.

But here at least is a tease of what could be:

Work today, build for tomorrow.

Coupeville High School basketball coaches welcomed 16 middle school-aged girls to the gym Tuesday and Wednesday for the Firecracker Skills Clinic.

The event gave Wolf hardwood guru Megan Richter and her crew a chance to work with young hoops stars entering grades 6-9.

“We had a great turn out,” Richter said. “Each drill and day we pushed them a little harder and challenged them to do the hard thing, even if it wasn’t perfect.

“We talked a lot about how mistakes are how we learn and grow and it’s okay to make them,” she added.

“Focused a lot on how to be a good teammate and encourage each other to be their best.”

The bright future of Central Whidbey hoops.

While the girls were building their skills set, they were also developing their love for God’s Chosen Sport.

“Most importantly, we learned to find the joy and fun in basketball,” Richter said.

“I’m very proud of the work these girls did and can’t wait to see the growth throughout our program!!”

The sound of success echoes through the CHS gym.

Get in on the ground floor.

Coupeville High School girls’ basketball coaches are planning a two-day skills clinic for players entering grades 6-9.

The event is set for July 1-2 in the CHS gym and will focus on “the fundamentals of basketball, our values for our program, and to start building more into our culture.”

The camp will be run by CHS varsity head coach Megan Richter and her staff, as well as current high school players.

All players registered by June 18 are guaranteed a camp t-shirt. Payment is due on day #1 of the camp.

In addition, daily prizes will be awarded to players who demonstrate traits such as grit and teammate skills.
