Tickets? We don’t need to punch no stinkin’ tickets!

Or win any games…

When the District 1/2 playoffs start Feb. 12 every one of the five 2B schools in the seven-team Northwest 2B/1B League will be sending both its boys and girls basketball teams to the postseason.

Yes, even the La Conner boys, who are currently 0-17 with two regular season games left to play.

Even they get some.

We already knew both 1B schools — Concrete and Darrington — would advance to their own tourney.

But this year, unlike in previous seasons, they’re sweeping all the 2B schools into the playoffs as well.

The boys’ tourney will be a seven-team rumble, with Coupeville, Mount Vernon Christian, La Conner, Orcas Island, and Friday Harbor being joined by Auburn Adventist Academy and Summit Atlas from District 2.

On the girls’ side of things, it’s a six-team fracas, with the NWL teams joined by Auburn Adventist Academy.

Both tourneys are double elimination, with seeding announced Feb. 7. Tune in then to find out whether Coupeville’s teams get to play at home or not.

From bi-districts, two boys’ teams and three girls’ teams advance to state this season.

We’re headed to the finish line, and everything is at stake.

There are just under two weeks left in the regular season for Northwest 2B/1B League basketball teams, and the battle for playoff positioning is at full tilt.

The week ahead is a busy one for Coupeville, with the Wolves heading over to Mount Vernon Christian Tuesday, before hosting La Conner Friday on Senior Night.

After that, there’s just a matchup Feb. 6 at Friday Harbor before any potential postseason rumbles.

To make those playoffs?

Ignore 1B schools Darrington and Concrete in this equation, and Coupeville needs a top four finish among the five 2B schools.

Which means if the playoffs started today, the Wolf boys would be in, and the CHS girls out.

But, as noted before, there’s still two weeks of games left, so hope burns eternal for Scout Smith’s squad.

Where things sit through Jan. 25:

 

Northwest League boys’ basketball:

School League Overall
MV Christian 6-0 12-4
Orcas Island 6-1 11-5
Darrington 4-3 10-6
Friday Harbor 3-3 3-13
Coupeville 3-4 6-9
Concrete 1-5 4-13
La Conner 0-7 0-16

 

Northwest League girls’ basketball:

School League Overall
MV Christian 6-0 13-2
La Conner 6-1 11-5
Concrete 4-2 12-4
Orcas Island 4-3 9-7
