Now things get serious.
Next week is a huge one for Coupeville High School basketball teams, as they clash with the only schools ahead of them in the standings.
The Wolves welcome league leader Mount Vernon Christian to Whidbey Tuesday, Jan. 28, before traveling to La Conner three days later.
With only one conference clash left on the schedule after that, next week’s twin bill will have a ton to say on where both Coupeville teams end up in the race for playoff seeding.
As we gaze towards the future, a quick look at where things sit today:
