With a first-round bye thanks to being league champs, the CHS girls, led by senior Madeline Strasburg, kick off double-elimination play Monday.
It’s up to Coupeville to save the day.
Three games into the first basketball postseason in league history and the 1A Olympic League is taking it in the shorts.
All three conference schools that played loser-out playoff games Friday night did just that, lose, falling to Nisqually League rivals.
In one fell swoop, the Klahowya boys and girls and the Chimacum girls were washed away, taking half of the league’s playoff teams out in one fell swoop.
Chimacum fell 63-26 to Bellevue Christian, which now advances to the double-elimination final four to play Coupeville Feb. 16 at Sumner High School.
On the other side of the bracket, the Klahowya girls were bounced 53-36 by Seattle Christian, which moves on to play Cascade Christian.
Two of the four remaining girls teams will advance to regionals.
On the boys side, Klahowya was shredded 72-43 by Charles Wright Academy. Vashon Island awaits CWA in the double-elimination round.
The Wolf boys get their crack tonight, when they play a loser-out game at Cascade Christian (7 PM tip), with the winner advancing to play Chimacum Feb. 17 at Sumner High School.
