It comes down to the finale.
Coupeville and Friday Harbor, the only two schools to play girls’ tennis in the seven-team Northwest 2B/1B League, have battled through three tense tussles this season.
Now, with a 3-2 win Wednesday in Cow Town, the visiting Wolverines have the edge in the battle, but there’s still one more match to play.
That comes May 6, when Coupeville island-hops to face the Wolverines a fourth and final time.
CHS will enter that match at 1-2 in league play, 4-4 overall, while Friday Harbor currently sits at 2-1, 3-3.
Come out on top and the Wolves will earn a share of the league crown, before wrapping regular season play at home May 7 against non-conference foe Forest Ridge.
Wednesday’s rumble, in which Friday Harbor swept the doubles matches, and Coupeville claimed both singles contests, was Senior Night for CHS.
Aleksia Jump, Dahlia Miller, and Miles Gerber were honored for their contributions to Wolf tennis.
