Halfway home, and the battle rages on.

Both Coupeville High School varsity basketball teams sit at 3-3 with six games left to play, though the odds of a conference title for the Wolves greatly varies.

The CHS boys, who could be 5-1 if two plays go differently, are two games back of first-place, and have a legitimate shot of shaking the standings up in the second half.

The Wolves have already handed Mount Vernon Christian its only loss, and the Hurricanes gave Orcas Island its lone defeat.

The Vikings may sit atop the standings at the moment, but nothing seems safe as the hunt for a boys title continues.

On the girls side, however, it’s a two-team race to hang a banner, and no one else is getting into the mix.

Coupeville is a game out of third, but there is no realistic way its gets a top-two finish.

La Conner and MVC are both 5-0 in league play, 6-0 overall heading into a Tuesday clash, and have decimated the other Northwest 2B/1B League schools.

Counting their non-conference tilts (the Braves beat Kings, the Hurricanes KO’d Lummi Nation), La Conner has outscored its foes 438-106, while MVC is at 386-96.

The Wolf girls have a tough week ahead, as they face La Conner and MVC back-to-back, playing the former on the road Wednesday, before hosting the latter Thursday.

A road trip to Orcas Saturday to square off with the team they’re chasing for third-place caps a busy schedule.

The CHS boys play the same trio, at the same locations, with a chance to make some waves.

The La Conner rumble is a rematch, after they lost 59-57 on a last-second bucket at home this past Thursday, then the Wolves go toe-to-toe with the current top two in the standings.

Let the basketballs hit the nets!

“Hey, let me in! I want to see those sweet, sweet standings!!” (Photos by JohnsPhotos.net)

“So do we.”

One week in, three to play.

High school hoops are officially underway in the Northwest 2B/1B League, and a couple of things are already clear.

On the girls side, La Conner is, as always, a beast.

The 2B Braves have polished off Concrete 88-10, Friday Harbor 62-15, and Darrington 87-6, while also stepping outside the NWL to beat 1A power King’s 44-39.

There’s also a second beast, with 1B Mount Vernon Christian having beaten Coupeville 54-14, Concrete 75-17, and Orcas Island 62-16.

La Conner and MVC play June 1 and 15, and barring any kind of Covid-related shenanigans, it would appear the Braves and Hurricanes will slug it out for the title.

On the boys side, things are much more topsy-turvy.

Orcas Island sits atop the standings at 3-1, but lost Saturday to Mount Vernon Christian, a team Coupeville already whacked.

For the Wolves, if their buzzer-beater Saturday at Friday Harbor had stayed in the bucket, they’d be 2-1 and in a second-place tie.

It didn’t, so, for the moment, CHS is a game-and-a-half back of the top spot, though things could radically change in week two.

The Wolves, both boys and girls, play three times this coming week, with home games against Concrete Tuesday and La Conner Thursday, followed by a trip Friday to the wilds of Darrington.

That’ll take us to the halfway point of this pandemic-altered 12-game season, and may provide a bit more clarity on which boys team will rise to the top.

Maybe.

Where things stand through May 23:

“Show me some standings!” (Photo by JohnsPhotos.net)

It’s a war so far.

With fall sports up and going — at least where Covid is not making teams sit right back down — the race for the most team varsity wins is a close one.

While Coupeville thoroughly dominated the spring sports which kept win/loss records, fall is a three-way battle.

The Wolves, who have at least one league victory in four sports — boys and girls soccer, football, and volleyball — are tied with La Conner with six wins total, while Mount Vernon Christian has five.

Orcas Island offers up three wins, all in boys soccer, while Concrete has one, and Darrington remains winless thus far.

Friday Harbor is actually winless as well, but, with all its fall programs shut down by a rise in positive Covid cases on San Juan Island, they’re not really a factor.

The week ahead offers a mix of games for Coupeville, with one constant — they’re all on the road.

Girls soccer is the only Wolf program set to play more than once, with a road game Friday at La Conner, followed by a 3 vs 3 mini-tourney Saturday at Mount Vernon Christian.

Meanwhile, boys soccer travels to Grace Academy Wednesday, volleyball and cross country will be on Orcas Friday, and football meets Lummi Nation Saturday night.

That last one is a non-conference clash, rare this time around as almost all Age of Coronavirus games are being played against league foes.

 

Standings through April 18:

Orcas Island 3-0-0 3-0-0

There were basketball games this week, just none involving Coupeville.

The Wolves are on Day 8 of a 12-day break between contests, not returning to action until Friday, January 3, when they travel to Chimacum.

But other North Sound Conference teams did lace up the shoes and head to the hardwood, so we’re back to provide a look at where everyone’s win/loss record sits.

Have to fill the time somehow, so here’s where things sit:

 

North Sound Conference girls basketball:

School League Overall
Coupeville 1-0 6-2
CPC-Bothell 1-0 6-3
Granite Falls 0-0 2-6
King’s 0-0 6-2
South Whidbey 0-1 2-6
Sultan 0-1 3-5

 

North Sound Conference boys basketball:

School League Overall
Granite Falls 1-0 3-5
King’s 1-0 4-6
Coupeville 0-0 3-5
South Whidbey 0-0 7-1
CPC-Bothell 0-1 3-4
Sultan 0-1 1-6

And now, some rest.

Having reached the sort-of halfway point of the season, give or take a game or three here and there, the North Sound Conference basketball teams are headed out for winter break.

Coupeville has 12 days off, with neither its girls or boys teams returning to action until Jan. 3.

Not all teams are taking the break off, but those who aren’t will be playing exclusively non-conference foes.

The King’s boys will play in a tourney in Arizona, both Granite Falls squads are set for Crush in the Slush in Port Townsend, and there are a handful of other games spread out around Christmas and New Year’s Day festivities.

Then, January rolls around and things get serious, as everyone starts to hunt league titles and playoff positioning.

For now, there have been just two league games played on either side of the ball, with the Coupeville girls one of those tied atop the current conference standings.

As we head into the break, where things sit:

 

North Sound Conference girls basketball:

School League Overall
Coupeville 1-0 6-2
CPC-Bothell 1-0 5-3
Granite Falls 0-0 2-4
King’s 0-0 4-2
South Whidbey 0-1 2-5
Sultan 0-1 3-5

 

North Sound Conference boys basketball:

School League Overall
Granite Falls 1-0 1-5
King’s 1-0 4-3
Coupeville 0-0 3-5
South Whidbey 0-0 6-1
CPC-Bothell 0-1 3-4
Sultan 0-1 1-6
