One game, with everything riding on it.
Having made it in the postseason as the #2 seed out of the Olympic League, the Coupeville High School girls basketball squad gets a little reward mixed with a lot of danger.
The pay-off is a home playoff game 6 PM Saturday against Bellevue Christian, the #3 seed from the Nisqually League.
The danger comes with the battle royal being a loser-out game.
Win, and the Wolves get revenge for a non-conference loss earlier this season to the Vikings.
Plus, and this is probably the biggie, a victory sends Coupeville to the double-elimination portion of districts Feb. 14-17, where three of four teams will punch their ticket to the state tourney.
