A lot will shake out this coming week.
League titles are on the line in some sports, playoff berths in others, and Coupeville High School honors seniors on four of six fall squads.
While Wolf boys tennis ended its season Saturday, with an appearance at the Emerald City League tourney, CHS cross country gets its first postseason race Oct. 26, when it runs in the North Sound Conference Championships.
Coupeville football hosts Anacortes Oct. 25, a night when the gridiron giants and Wolf cheerleaders will hold Senior Night festivities.
A win against the Seahawks, and the Wolves capture the first winning season for a CHS football team since 2005.
That leaves volleyball and soccer, with the spikers playing twice, and the booters facing what could be a very busy week.
Volleyball hosts Granite Falls Oct. 22 (it’s Senior Night and a win clinches at least second-place for the Wolves in their six-team league).
After that comes a road trip to King’s Oct. 24, in a match which will likely decide the NSC title.
Soccer travels to South Whidbey Oct. 21, then hosts Granite Falls on Senior Night Oct. 23.
With the Wolves currently tied with Sultan for the final playoff berth, there could be more games crammed into the week.
If the logjam for the #5 playoff seed remains, Coupeville hosts the Turks Oct. 24 in a tie-breaker game.
Earn that playoff berth, either through the tiebreaker or by pulling ahead during the final regular-season games, and the Wolf booters are at home Oct. 26 for a district playoff play-in game against Mount Baker.
Seven days from now, there will be a ton more clarity. We think.
For now, as you prepare for the action-packed week ahead, a look at where we are at the moment.
