Tonight’s the night.

Coming off the best regular season performance in a decade, the 15-5 league champion Coupeville High School girls’ basketball squad starts its postseason run in less than 12 hours.

The Wolves open against Bellevue Christian (a rematch of an early season game they lost 52-51) in the first game of a district doubleheader at Sumner High School.

Tip-off is 6 PM, with Seattle Christian and Cascade Christian playing afterwards.

Win or lose, Coupeville returns to Sumner Wednesday.

A victory tonight puts them in the championship game. A loss drops them into a loser-out game.

Win two before they lose two and the Wolves will advance to regionals Feb. 27-28 with a chance to punch their ticket to state for the first time since 2005-2006.

With a first-round bye thanks to being league champs, the CHS girls, led by senior Madeline Strasburg, kick off double-elimination play Monday.

It’s up to Coupeville to save the day.

Three games into the first basketball postseason in league history and the 1A Olympic League is taking it in the shorts.

All three conference schools that played loser-out playoff games Friday night did just that, lose, falling to Nisqually League rivals.

In one fell swoop, the Klahowya boys and girls and the Chimacum girls were washed away, taking half of the league’s playoff teams out in one fell swoop.

Chimacum fell 63-26 to Bellevue Christian, which now advances to the double-elimination final four to play Coupeville Feb. 16 at Sumner High School.

On the other side of the bracket, the Klahowya girls were bounced 53-36 by Seattle Christian, which moves on to play Cascade Christian.

Two of the four remaining girls teams will advance to regionals.

On the boys side, Klahowya was shredded 72-43 by Charles Wright Academy. Vashon Island awaits CWA in the double-elimination round.

The Wolf boys get their crack tonight, when they play a loser-out game at Cascade Christian (7 PM tip), with the winner advancing to play Chimacum Feb. 17 at Sumner High School.

Postseason fever is in the air.

In less than 36 hours, the Coupeville High School boys’ basketball team makes its playoff debut, with the Wolf girls set to tip off Monday.

The CHS boys (7-12) travel to Cascade Christian (down Puyallup way) for a Valentine’s Day special, tipping off Saturday night at 7 PM in a loser-out game.

Win there, and the Wolves advance to the double-elimination portion of districts, with games the coming Tuesday, Thursday and (possibly) Saturday.

The Coupeville girls (15-5), by benefit of winning the program’s first league title since 2002, are already in the double-elimination brackets.

They tip off 6 PM Monday at Sumner High School against the winner of Chimacum and Bellevue Christian.

Win or lose they return to action Wednesday.

Two wins at districts and the Wolves advance to regionals, the final step before the state tourney.

“My elbow, your ear. This is where they meet if you don’t give me that ball, sister.”

Avalon Renninger leads the charge.

And then a wrestling match broke out in the CMS gym.

Coupeville gets a jump on Langley.

Right back at it.

Two days after kicking off their season, the Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball players were back in their home gym Thursday, facing off with Island rival Langley.

On the scene, camera in hand, was travelin’ photo man John Fisken, who provides the pics above.

Let the ball hit the net!!

Sarah Wright is a bit perturbed. “Will someone make this fool let go of my basketball? I don’t like people touching MY basketball!!” (John Fisken photos)

“Get out your umbrella, cause I’m gonna make it rain!!”

“Block my shot? Not a chance, sister!!”

And the crowd (led by irrepressible future Wolf star Mollie Bailey, top left in red) goes wild.

Having left her defender sprawled on the floor, a young Wolf heads for the basket.

Kalia Littlejohn threads the needle.

Raise your hands if you’re sure Coupeville is better than Granite Falls.

“The next sound you’ll hear is the ball hitting the bottom of the net, baby!!”

And we’re officially tipped off.

The Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball squads made their regular-season debut at home Tuesday, battling Granite Falls and being captured on film by roving photographer John Fisken.

In the night’s premier showdown, the Wolf 8th grade varsity came within a missed half-court shot at the buzzer of upending the Tigers.

Battling back from a double-digit deficit, Coupeville, which was playing without vacationing shooting star Lindsey Roberts, got scoring from four players.

Sarah Wright banged home 10 to pace the Wolves, while Kalia Littlejohn (8), Ashlie Shank (4) and Ema Smith (3) all chipped in.
