We’re done.
The basketball season, and the school athletic year, came to a close Tuesday, with the La Conner girls and Mount Vernon Christian boys clinching Northwest 2B/1B League hoops titles.
Coupeville finished 4th on the girls side and 3rd in boys action, though the latter was by a razor-thin margin.
The Wolf boys (8-4) tied with MVC (8-3) for the most wins — and beat the Hurricanes twice — but finished a half-game back after MVC declined to host Orcas Island after that school requested no fans at its road games during the pandemic.
Friday Harbor, at 7-3, with a pair of one-point wins over Coupeville, edges the Wolves for second-place by having a slightly better winning percentage.
