The calendar flips to November, and things get serious.

A new month brings with it the full crush of postseason action, with just a smidge of regular season play left to finish.

While Coupeville High School soccer saw its season end Saturday, with the Wolves barely missing out on a playoff berth, all of the other fall sports squads are still alive.

Cross country sends 11 runners to Pasco for the state meet, which goes down this coming Saturday, Nov. 9.

Meanwhile, Wolf football has a half-game tiebreaker with Friday Harbor — set for a neutral field in La Conner — going down Monday.

Win, and Coupeville is league champ and hosts a team from District 4, likely on Saturday, with a ticket to state at stake.

Meanwhile, the most successful Wolf program, volleyball, holds Senior Night Monday, with a non-conference match against Sultan.

After that comes the Bi-District tourney, with Coupeville as the #1 seed from District 1.

The Wolves play at home Thursday, then at La Conner Saturday, with two state tourney tickets up for grabs among six schools.

As we head into what is likely to be a wild week, a look at where things sit, win/loss style, through Nov. 3:

These stats will go past nine.

Having finished the regular season at 5-4 overall, 1-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, the Coupeville High School football team is off to La Conner Monday for a half-game tiebreaker with Friday Harbor.

That mini game, set for a 5:30 PM kickoff, will decide the league champ and award one team a playoff berth, with the winner hosting a team from District 4 for a spot in the state tourney.

As the Wolves prep for that clash, here’s a look at where season scoring stats sit at the moment:

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.

Keep the scoreboard hoppin’.

That’s the plan for the Coupeville High School football team, which has racked up 238 points across the first eight games of the season.

That comes out to 29.75 a night for a team which sits at 5-3 heading into its regular season finale at Friday Harbor on Halloween.

The Wolves have kept the chain gang busy this season.

Eight Wolves have scored a touchdown this season, with freshman Richmond Bandong joining the group this past Friday in a win over Winlock.
