The calendar flips and the run to the finish line hits breakneck pace.
With May upon us, the upcoming week will feature the final regular season games for Coupeville High School softball, baseball, and girls’ tennis, while track and field kicks off the postseason.
The runners and chuckers head to Mount Vernon Thursday for the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships, with districts and state the only events left on the schedule after that.
Meanwhile, the three teams who use a ball will wrap up non-playoff things with two events apiece.
The Wolf netters travel to Friday Harbor Wednesday, and a win will give them a share of the league crown. A day later, CHS will be back at home to face non-conference foe Forest Ridge.
Baseball has its final regular season series against Mount Vernon Christian, which has clinched the league title.
Coupeville is at home Tuesday for Senior Night, then travels to the mainland Thursday as it continues to vie with Orcas Island and Friday Harbor for the #2 and #3 playoff seeds.
Finally, the high-flying Wolf softball squad, having wrapped up a flawless run through conference play, hits the road twice to play non-league rivals ahead of the district tourney.
The Smash Sisters will be in Silverdale Tuesday to face former league arch-rival Klahowya, before alighting in Port Townsend Friday to square off with East Jefferson.
And yes, there was supposed to be a third game in there Wednesday, but the trip to Langley has been cancelled after South Whidbey bailed on the affair.
Perhaps being thumped 17-1 the first time around kills your enthusiasm to honor your schedule.
