“We’re leaving with a full heart.”

Coupeville High School girls’ varsity basketball coach Megan Richter, who recently stepped down to focus on family, led her final summer camp, setting up the Wolf hoops program for continued growth.

The Firecracker Skills Clinic drew 14 girls who spent three days putting in “countless reps” and showing “so much growth.”

“Watching these girls show up every day ready to work, compete, ask questions, and encourage one another reminded me why we love coaching,” Richter said.

“Basketball is about so much more than making shots or learning new moves. It’s about building confidence, learning to be a great teammate, and finding the courage to keep improving, even when it’s hard.

“This group embraced that, and we’re proud of every one of them.”

As she steps away (for now, at least) Richter reflected on a journey in which she has both played and coached at every level for Coupeville basketball.

While she won’t be the one calling the shots going forward, her pride in what she has helped shape is unmistakable.

“Thank you to all of the players and families for trusting me with a small part of your summer,” Richter said.

“We can’t wait to watch these girls continue to grow, and we’re excited for what’s ahead for Coupeville girls’ basketball.

“Keep working. Keep competing. Keep believing in yourselves. The future is bright. Go Wolves!”
