Time for the fireworks.

The regular season is done, league champs are crowned, and it’s nothing but playoff action from here on out.

Three of Coupeville’s four spring sports teams are still alive heading into next week, with two in action.

Girls’ tennis sends two singles players and two doubles teams to Bi-Districts Friday, May 19 in Seattle, where the Wolves will try and punch some tickets to the state championships.

CHS baseball plays the next day, making its first appearance at state since 2014.

The location of that game and opponent will be announced Sunday when the seeding committee reveals its work.

Coupeville’s track and field team is also off to state, but not until the following week, with the last meet of the season set for May 25-27.

Hawk flies to postseason

Off to the playoffs he goes.

Coupeville grad Hawthorne Wolfe and the Western Washington University club baseball squad capped the regular season this past weekend with a three-game sweep of Portland State University.

Rolling to 16-9, 3-0, and 17-3 victories, the Vikings stretch their win streak to six games and get to 19-9 on the season.

Next up is a trip to Nampa, Idaho May 12-14, where WWU joins Oregon, Utah State, and Boise State in the double-elimination Northern Pacific Regional Tournament.

The winner claims one of eight tickets to the National Club Baseball Association Division 1 World Series, held May 26-June 2 in Illinois.

A decade ago, another Coupeville alumni, Jordan Wilcox, hit .313 across four games for WWU at the 2013 World Series.

Seeded #7 in an eight-team field, that edition of the Vikings surprised folks, finishing fourth at the season-ending tourney.

Wolfe, a freshman at Western, scored four runs, eked out three walks, smacked a pair of hits, and made off with a stolen base this weekend while facing off with Portland State.

On the season, the former CHS star has worked primarily as a pitcher, making 10 appearances — most of any WWU hurler — with four starts.

He has racked up 22 strikeouts while on the bump, putting Wolfe second-best among Viking pitchers.

Djina Radenovic and Wolf tennis play twice as the regular season wraps.

A little something for everyone.

The week ahead is a hodgepodge of regular season and playoff action, with all four Coupeville High School spring sports teams involved.

Wolf softball and girls’ tennis wrap regular season action, while track and field and baseball begin what they hope will be long postseason runs.

The netters travel to Mount Vernon Tuesday, May 9 in a match just added to the schedule, then host Friday Harbor May 12.

That second bout, where the Wolves will celebrate Senior Night, offers CHS a chance to claim sole possession of the Northwest 2B/1B League title.

After that, Ken Stange’s squad sends its top players on to the district tourney, which is set to go down in Seattle May 19.

The CHS softball squad, meanwhile, travels to South Whidbey May 12 for a final non-league game, then packs up the equipment.

The Wolf sluggers were nipped by Friday Harbor in the league finale and lost a chance to advance to the playoffs.

Baseball and track get their postseason closeup Saturday, May 13, with the hardball squad on the road at Lakewood High School, where they will face either Northwest Christian (Lacey) or Friday Harbor.

The Wolf runners, throwers, and jumpers defend their home turf, with CHS hosting the district meet.

Do well, and the state championships are next on the schedule for both teams.

As we head into a week of intrigue, a look at where things sit in terms of wins and losses:

Northwest League baseball:

School	League	Overall
Coupeville	13-1	15-5
MV Christian	13-1	14-3
Friday Harbor	8-6	8-8
Orcas Island	7-8	11-8
Darrington	6-9	8-10
La Conner	3-11	5-14
Concrete	0-14	0-15
