It’s all about those ferries.
Coupeville High School basketball teams will have a home playoff doubleheader Tuesday, but the start times will be bumped ahead a bit.
With both rivals coming from other islands and needing to get back to their rocks in the water, it’s not a surprise.
So, the Wolf girls will tip with Friday Harbor at 3:15 PM, with the CHS boys squaring off with Orcas Island at 5:00.
Both District 1/2 tourney games are loser-out affairs.
Fall, and your season is done. Win, and the Wolves return to action Thursday, again on their home court.

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.
One final run for postseason glory.

On to the postseason.
With basketball’s regular season all but ending two days ago, this is our final standings story for the winter.
A look below confirms Mount Vernon Christian pulled off the double-win, claiming league titles in both boys’ and girls’ hardwood action.
But now the slate is wiped clean, except for games Monday between Orcas Island and Friday Harbor which were bumped a few days by winter snowstorms.
Other than that, we’re in full-on playoff mode.
Concrete and Darrington, the two 1B schools in the Northwest 2B/1B League, are already actively involved in their district tourney, while the 2B teams get started this coming Thursday, Feb. 13.
Throw the ball skyward and see where it lands, as everyone chases further hoops glory.
