Welcome to crunch time.
As we slip into the second half of October, the games get bigger and the playoff chase becomes a part of every day’s reality.
Cross country is the first Coupeville High School fall sports team to begin the postseason, racing at the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships Wednesday in Mount Vernon.
Meanwhile, Wolf football clashes with conference archrival Friday Harbor on the road Friday, needing a win to keep alive any playoff dreams.
For volleyball and the soccer squads, action continues as well.
The spikers trek off to La Conner Tuesday for a conference rumble, before hosting non-league rival Forks Friday night.
With the booters, the girls are at La Conner Tuesday, then off to Port Townsend Saturday to clash with East Jefferson, while the boys are in Bothell Wednesday to face Providence Classical Christian, then at home Friday against Crosspoint Christian.
Keeping that all in mind, here are where things sit through October 18:
