Forget about Friday Night Lights.
The Coupeville High School football team will play its first state playoff game in 32 years in the daylight, on a different weekend day.
The Wolves (7-1) host Onalaska (5-5) in a loser-out game, with the action set to go down Saturday, Nov. 12 at Oak Harbor’s Wildcat Memorial Stadium.
Kickoff is 4:00 PM.
The date and time were likely selected to ease the travel burden on Onalaska, which is looking at a nearly 400-mile round trip.
Saturday’s tilt features a Coupeville program which last made it to the big dance in 1990 against a school which won state football titles in 1986 and 2019.
The Loggers won two playoff games last season before falling to eventual state champ Kalama in the semifinals.
Saturday’s winner heads to Eastern Washington the next week, with a quarterfinal matchup against Okanogan (10-0).
Ticket prices for the playoff opener, which are set by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, and not the schools involved:
Adults and high school/middle school students without ASB — $10
Senior Citizens (62+) — $7
High school/middle school students with ASB — $7
