Tension mounts.
Another week in the books, and the end of the regular season looms for Northwest 2B/1B League basketball teams.
Coupeville sits with 15 games played, and five more on the schedule, meaning the upcoming week will be a busy one.
The Wolf boys, battling for league supremacy with La Conner and Mount Vernon Christian, welcome Concrete to town Tuesday, then wrap the week with a pair of non-conference tilts.
South Whidbey travels to Cow Town Wednesday for a makeup game, before Brad Sherman’s squad hops on the bus Saturday to go play Chief Leschi in Puyallup.
For the Wolf girls, it’s a two-game week, as Megan Richter’s team hosts Concrete and travels to Chief Leschi.
