The path is set, and the journey begins on their own court.

Both the Coupeville High School girls’ and boys’ basketball teams open the double-elimination District 1/2 tourney in the CHS gym this Thursday, Feb. 13.

Megan Richter’s squad of female hardcourt assassins host Auburn Adventist Academy at 7:00 PM, with Brad Sherman’s bruisers welcoming Friday Harbor to Cow Town for a 5:00 PM tipoff.

Win or lose, both Wolf teams will live to play at least one more postseason game as the tourney runs between Feb. 13-22.

Two schools advance to state from each royal rumble, with seven boys’ teams and six girls’ squads competing for the tickets.

The Wolf girls are 8-10 heading into the playoffs, with Auburn Adventist coming in at 6-7.

Coupeville’s boys sit at 7-12, and this is their third meeting with Friday Harbor (4-14) this season, having won 47-43 on the road and 50-46 at home on Senior Night.
