Katelin McCormick and Wolf girls soccer kick off their season this coming week.

Now, everyone starts to play.

The week ahead is the first to feature all five Coupeville High School fall sports teams in action, with girls soccer finally hitting the pitch.

Most of the action is in the latter stages of the week, with six of seven events going down between Thursday and Saturday.

Wolf volleyball is the only program to play in the first part of the week, with a home match Tuesday against Mount Vernon Christian, followed by a Thursday home clash with Orcas Island.

Girls soccer makes its debut Thursday at home against La Conner, then hits the road Saturday for a non-conference tilt with East Jefferson — the result of Chimacum and Port Townsend merging into one program for athletics.

Also seeing action is Wolf football — on the road Friday at East Jefferson — boys soccer and cross country.

The CHS booters host Orcas Island Friday, with the harriers traveling to Langley Saturday for the 42nd annual Carl Westling Invitational.

Rack the balls, freeze the standings

We’re done.

The basketball season, and the school athletic year, came to a close Tuesday, with the La Conner girls and Mount Vernon Christian boys clinching Northwest 2B/1B League hoops titles.

Coupeville finished 4th on the girls side and 3rd in boys action, though the latter was by a razor-thin margin.

The Wolf boys (8-4) tied with MVC (8-3) for the most wins — and beat the Hurricanes twice — but finished a half-game back after MVC declined to host Orcas Island after that school requested no fans at its road games during the pandemic.

Friday Harbor, at 7-3, with a pair of one-point wins over Coupeville, edges the Wolves for second-place by having a slightly better winning percentage.

Final league standings for the pandemic-altered 2021 hoops campaign:

Northwest League boys basketball:

School	League	Overall
MV Christian	8-3	8-5
Friday Harbor	7-3	7-3
Coupeville	8-4	8-4
Orcas Island	5-3	5-4
La Conner	6-5	6-7
Darrington	2-6	2-6
Concrete	0-12	0-12

Northwest League girls basketball:

School	League	Overall
La Conner	9-0	13-1
MV Christian	9-2	11-2
Orcas Island	5-3	5-4
Coupeville	5-7	5-7
Concrete	4-8	5-8
Friday Harbor	3-7	3-7

The end is near

One night, two titles on the line.

Tuesday marks the end of the transplanted 2021 basketball season, and both Northwest 2B/1B League titles will be decided on the floor in Mount Vernon.

First up, the La Conner girls will try and finish out an undefeated league campaign, while Mount Vernon Christian will vie for the upset.

The first time these squads faced off, the Braves bounced the Hurricanes 58-33, giving MVC its only loss of the season.

La Conner has impressive non-conference wins against 1A Kings and 2A Lynden, with its lone setback coming to 2A Burlington-Edison.

The math is simple — Tuesday’s winner is league champ.

In the boys contest, MVC will be playing for a title, while La Conner will try and fill the role of spoiler.

Hurricanes win, they top an extremely-close race partially determined by only two of seven NWL schools — Coupeville and Concrete — playing a full 12-game league schedule.

If La Conner triumphs, however, Friday Harbor comes out on top for the boys title.

With their own win Tuesday over visiting Darrington, Coupeville can finish with victories in two-thirds of its games, but it can’t win a league title.

A one-point loss in overtime to Friday Harbor denied the Wolves that fate, but a win against Concrete in their next game did clinch the program’s first winning season since 2010.

Where things stand through June 13:

Northwest League boys basketball:

School	League	Overall

Any fingernails left to bite?

Nine days to play, two titles up for grabs.

Technically.

A person might come along and randomly look at the Northwest 2B/1B League basketball standings for the first time today and think both races are all-out wars.

It’s not true, though.

While the Mount Vernon Christian girls are a very-good team, and do sit just a half-game off of La Conner, I am here to tell you to take all your money to Vegas and bet on the Braves and not the Hurricanes.

The one loss for MVC came against La Conner, and it wasn’t close, with the Braves rolling to a 58-33 win.

That’s the second-closest any team has come to toppling the 2B powerhouse, with the other being 1A royalty King’s, which fell 44-39 in a war of teams which would be playing for state titles in a non-pandemic world.

La Conner and MVC face off a second time, in the season finale June 15, and I could turn out to be an idiot.

If the Hurricanes win, I’ll tip my hat to them.

But I don’t think I’ll need a hat that day.

On the other side of the standings, it is a legitimate war, but, after a 3-0 week, the Coupeville boys control their own destiny.

While MVC has the same 6-3 record as the Wolves, CHS swept the season series with the Hurricanes, and will play three more games to Mount Vernon’s two.

Win out, while playing Friday Harbor (5-3), Concrete (0-9), and Darrington (2-3), and Coupeville, which is on a four-game winning streak, can’t be stopped.

The first, and biggest of those contests comes Tuesday on Whidbey, followed by a road trip Thursday to the wilds of Concrete.

Senior Night arrives the following Tuesday, June 15, four days after graduation, and could be one of the biggest nights in Coupeville boys basketball history.

Where things stand through June 6:

Northwest League boys basketball:

School	League	Overall
Coupeville	6-3	6-3
MV Christian	6-3	6-4
Friday Harbor	5-3	5-3
Orcas Island	5-3	5-4
La Conner	4-4	4-5
Darrington	2-3	2-3
Concrete	0-9	0-9

Northwest League girls basketball:

School	League	Overall
La Conner	8-0	9-0
MV Christian	8-1	9-1
Orcas Island	5-3	5-4
Coupeville	4-5	4-5

Scramble for hardwood supremacy heats up

Halfway home, and the battle rages on.

Both Coupeville High School varsity basketball teams sit at 3-3 with six games left to play, though the odds of a conference title for the Wolves greatly varies.

The CHS boys, who could be 5-1 if two plays go differently, are two games back of first-place, and have a legitimate shot of shaking the standings up in the second half.

The Wolves have already handed Mount Vernon Christian its only loss, and the Hurricanes gave Orcas Island its lone defeat.

The Vikings may sit atop the standings at the moment, but nothing seems safe as the hunt for a boys title continues.

On the girls side, however, it’s a two-team race to hang a banner, and no one else is getting into the mix.

Coupeville is a game out of third, but there is no realistic way its gets a top-two finish.

La Conner and MVC are both 5-0 in league play, 6-0 overall heading into a Tuesday clash, and have decimated the other Northwest 2B/1B League schools.

Counting their non-conference tilts (the Braves beat Kings, the Hurricanes KO’d Lummi Nation), La Conner has outscored its foes 438-106, while MVC is at 386-96.

The Wolf girls have a tough week ahead, as they face La Conner and MVC back-to-back, playing the former on the road Wednesday, before hosting the latter Thursday.

A road trip to Orcas Saturday to square off with the team they’re chasing for third-place caps a busy schedule.

The CHS boys play the same trio, at the same locations, with a chance to make some waves.

The La Conner rumble is a rematch, after they lost 59-57 on a last-second bucket at home this past Thursday, then the Wolves go toe-to-toe with the current top two in the standings.

Let the basketballs hit the nets!
