It’s not over just yet.

The battle between Coupeville and Friday Harbor to decide the Northwest 2B/1B League football crown, and claim a playoff berth, will go to overtime.

Or a tiebreaker, more to the point.

That’s thanks to Friday Harbor rallying from a touchdown down Thursday to claim a 17-13 Halloween win on its home turf.

The loss drops Coupeville to 1-1 in league play, 5-4 overall, while the Wolverines get to 1-1, 3-5.

CHS had the edge going in Thursday, having won 18-5 when the teams squared off in Cow Town four weeks ago.

With another victory, the Wolves would have collected a season sweep, claimed the NWL crown, and punched their playoff ticket to face a team from District 4 with a state tourney berth at stake.

Instead, Coupeville and Friday Harbor will both travel this coming Monday, Nov. 4 to a neutral field at La Conner for a tiebreaker to decide things.

A 5:30 PM kickoff has been confirmed by CHS Athletic Director Brad Sherman.

The plan is to play two 12-minute “halves,” so essentially a half game. Winner claims District 1’s playoff spot, and loser does not.

Thursday’s regular season finale, which was moved up by a day because of the possibility of a tiebreaker needing to be played, broke in favor of Coupeville early.

Junior quarterback Chase Anderson scampered in for his team-leading twelfth touchdown in the first quarter, then mashed the PAT kick to put the Wolves up 7-0.

That lead held up until midway through the second quarter, when Friday Harbor rammed home a score to knot things up.

Tied at 7-7 at the half, the two squads played a scoreless third quarter, before suddenly getting offensive in the fourth.

Friday Harbor claimed the lead at 10-7 on a Victor Valasquez field goal, before pushing the lead out to 17-7 with just under three minutes to play.

Anderson gave Coupeville a fighting chance, lofting a TD pass to Jack Porter, who broke into the end zone for the eighth time during his senior campaign.

The Wolves failed to convert the PAT however, and time ran out on them, denying them a chance to claim the league title outright.

Instead, they will regroup and get ready to rumble one more time with everything on the line.

Coupeville’s seniors will pull on their helmets again Monday night.

They all have different stories but are united by their time repping the red and black on the gridiron.

From memories of rain turning the field into a slip ‘n slide to passionate testimonials on how football gave them a way to emerge from depression and anxiety, the Wolves honored on Senior Night celebrated what the sport has given them.

Then went out and waxed Winlock to the tune of 50-8, improving their record to 5-3 on the season.

There’s still a road trip to Friday Harbor on Halloween, and then a potential playoff game back on their home field, but Friday marked a milestone for them all.
