Playoffs? Yes, we are talking playoffs.
Thanks to a wrinkle in the agreement between District 1 athletic director’s, the Coupeville High School boys’ soccer team is postseason bound after all.
The Wolves (5-8-2) wrap their regular season with Senior Night Monday against King’s, and that was supposed to be it.
With three 1A schools playing in the 1A/2A Cascade Conference, the top two teams were guaranteed playoff spots, and Coupeville was edged out for those berths by South Whidbey and King’s.
BUT … Friday Harbor WOULD have been the #6 seed out of the Northwest Conference, only the Wolves went 1-0-1 against them in non-conference play.
And, the way the rules are written, CHS then gets to steal away Friday Harbor’s playoff berth.
So, the Wolves live on and will travel to Mount Baker Wednesday, May 7 (4 PM kickoff) to face off with the NWC’s #1 squad.
“It’s a great opportunity for us,” said CHS coach Kyle Nelson. “From everything I can find out about Mount Baker, we should match up well with them.”
It’s a loser-out game and if Coupeville wins, they advance on to play May 9 and possibly May 10.
Four of the eight teams from districts will advance on to tri-districts.
