The path is set.
After a lot of paper shuffling, and a few lead-in games, the bracket for the District 1/2/3/4 boys’ soccer tournament is all filled in, with 10 teams left to compete for six tickets to state.
You can see that bracket right here:
Coupeville, which is 8-5-1, opens by “hosting” a loser-out game Friday at 2:00 PM at Oak Harbor High School against Puget Sound Adventist Academy.
The Sharks, who are based out of Kirkland, sit at 7-7 on the season
Win Friday and the Wolf booters advance to the double-elimination portion of the tourney and face two-time defending state champ Orcas Island, who they held scoreless for 72 minutes in the regular season finale before falling 3-1.
That game is set for November 3 at Anacortes High School, with kickoff time to be announced.
Once in the double elimination part of districts, the Wolves would be one win away from advancing to state for the first time since 2010.
After not having to pay to watch soccer during the regular season, you do have to pony up for the playoffs.
But cash, the legal tender of the USA, won’t work, as the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association has a deal with Go Fan which requires you to pay digitally.
You can do that in person when you arrive at the game, or in advance at:
