If it was the finale, it was a strong one.
Playing on the road Monday, the Coupeville High School varsity volleyball squad scorched host Sultan, while the Wolf JV waged a wild brawl against the Turks before falling just short.
While the non-conference matchups against a 2A school were the final ones on the regular season schedule, there is still hope the CHS varsity will play a bit longer.
That will be decided Tuesday, when Orcas Island and Friday Harbor square off in their regular season finale.
Five of the six tickets to the District 1/2 tourney, which goes down Nov. 6-8, have been clinched.
Northwest 2B/1B League teams La Conner, Mount Vernon Christian, and Orcas are in, while District 2 is sending Forest Ridge and Auburn Adventist Academy.
Tuesday’s tilt decides (maybe) the final slot.
If Friday Harbor wins, they finish 3-7 in league play, and edge Coupeville (2-8) for that #4 seed.
But if Orcas wins, the Wolverines and Wolves finish in a stalemate and play a tiebreaker Wednesday on a neutral court in La Conner.
It would be a full win-three-out-of-five sets match, with tip-off at 5:00 PM and the winner moving on to open the district tourney Thursday.
If Coupeville gets a chance to keep going, it will be coming off a powerhouse win, having rocked Sultan 25-9, 27-25, 25-23.
The Wolves piled up 30 kills and 14 service aces as they kept their big-school rivals at bay, raising their record to 5-9-1.
