Three teams enter, one exits with a ticket to state.
This year’s version of the district volleyball playoffs is a fairly streamlined affair, with just two matches being played.
Coupeville and Auburn Adventist Academy face off at 5 PM Wednesday, Nov. 3 at La Conner High School in a loser-out match to kick things off.
The winner returns to the floor at 7:30 to play the tourney hosts, who happen to be the two-time defending 2B state champs.
Barring a major upset, the Braves then head off to Yakima to defend their crown.
Coupeville fans already know La Conner well, but Auburn Adventist is a different thing.
The Falcons are the lone 2B school playing in the 1B Sea-Tac League, and finished third out of 10 schools this season.
Auburn handed the league’s top team, Crosspoint Academy, its only conference loss, yet was swept in straight sets by Coupeville’s Northwest 2B/1B League mate Darrington in a non-conference tilt.
With Coupeville having squashed the Loggers both times they played this season, that seems to be a positive for the Wolves.
But, it’s the playoffs, so anything goes.
