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.”

Coupeville Sports has cameras everywhere, and they’re clicking away even now as I write this.
