It was the perfect storm, if you wanted very few games played.
The aftereffects of snow and ice mixed with the never-ending pandemic shuffle to keep most Northwest 2B/1B League basketball teams off the court this past week.
On the boys side of things, only one of nine scheduled games was actually played, with Coupeville running La Conner off the floor.
Things were slightly more active for girls hoops squads, with an emphasis on the word slightly.
La Conner KO’d Coupeville’s girls, while Mount Vernon Christian blasted Concrete a few days later.
Then, Saturday night, La Conner broke triple-digits, shellacking Concrete in a savage 104-14 win.
Other than that, six of nine scheduled games failed to have a tip-off.
The week ahead is pretty barren, as well, at least for Coupeville, which currently only has one set of games on the schedule.
The Wolves host MVC Tuesday, Jan. 11, with the boys game a showdown for sole possession of first-place in the NWL.
After that, barring pesky Covid positives, or frogs raining down from the skies, CHS goes full-tilt, with four games in five days between Jan. 18-22.
Maybe.
Until then, here are where things stand through games of Jan. 8:
