It’s been awhile.
The Coupeville High School boys soccer squad had some playoff success in the past, including a couple of trips to the state tourney.
But most of the current Wolves were still in elementary school the last time CHS won a playoff game on the pitch.
So, having knocked off five-time state champ Bellevue Christian 3-0 Saturday, notching their first postseason win since 2012, this group of players is entering uncharted waters.
The double-elimination portion of districts kicks off Tuesday, with Coupeville traveling to Mt. Tahoma High School to face Vashon Island.
Win or lose, they’ll play again Thursday, against either Klahowya or Charles Wright Academy.
As you count down the hours, here’s a look at what you need to know.
