We’re trending upward.
The undefeated Coupeville High School boys basketball team, enjoying its best start in two decades-plus, continues to climb in the rankings.
The Wolves, who are 6-0 heading into a big showdown with Mount Vernon Christian, moved from #4 to #3 among all 2B schools when Evans Rankings released its latest numbers Sunday night.
Coupeville passed Lake Roosevelt, which suffered back-to-back losses and plunged from #2 to #13 in the rankings.
Chief Leschi (7-0) holds on to the top spot in 2B, with Ilwaco (8-0) moving up a rung to #2. Okanogan (9-1) and Kalama (5-1) round out the top five.
We’re now three weeks into the rankings, which are the work of noted numbers cruncher Matthew Evans.
A writer and editor whose work has appeared in publications such as Rant Sports and Stoppage Time Soccer, he had Coupeville at #6 first time out.
Two weeks later, the Wolves are knocking on the penthouse door.
La Conner and Friday Harbor — Coupeville’s fellow 2B schools in the Northwest 2B/1B League — currently sit at #33 and #46, respectively.
In the 1B rankings, Mount Vernon Christian is #11, with Orcas Island (#22), Darrington (#27), and Concrete (#47) on the chase.
On the girls side of things, La Conner, which rolled to 10-0 with lopsided wins over Coupeville and Concrete this past week, holds at #4.
The Wolves slip two spots from #22 to #24, with Friday Harbor down at #49.
MVC’s girls, who were obliterated by La Conner earlier this year, hold on to the #1 ranking in 1B, with Darrington (#33), Concrete (#38), and Orcas Island (#41) rounding out NWL teams.
