Girls coach David King, with valuable insight from his numbers guru, assistant coach/wife Amy, has guided CHS to a 15-0 mark in league play over the past two seasons.

And here they come down the backstretch.

Six days. Three games. The whole season on the line.

Sort of.

The Coupeville High School girls’ basketball squad has already clinched a second-straight 1A Olympic League basketball crown and is playing for perfection, not playoff positioning.

Win or lose this final week, they know what their postseason path will be.

Now, it’s all about wrapping up a second straight 9-0 league season and tying last year’s team with 15 regular season wins.

For the Wolf boys, it’s more complicated.

They know they’re in the playoffs, but they can still finish anywhere between first (with a bit of luck) and their current third.

Being #1 gets you a banner to hang in the gym and you skip right to the double-elimination portion of districts, where you would need only one win in two games to advance to regionals.

Finish #2 or #3 and the Wolves get a home playoff game, but also have to endure at least one loser-out game.

The Olympic League #2 will have one of those, while #3 gets two (if you survive the first game, of course).

Coupeville, which trails Port Townsend by two games and Chimacum by a game, needs to close as strongly as they did Friday, when it scored the final eight points and upended Klahowya 64-60.

They’ll get a great chance, as the final three games are against their league foes.

The remaining schedule:

Girls:

Tues-2 @ Port Townsend — 3:15 JV/5:00 varsity
Thur-4 @ Chimacum — 5 JV/3:15 varsity
Sat-6 Klahowya (SENIOR NIGHT) — 3:30 JV/5 varsity

Boys:

Tues-2 Port Townsend (SENIOR NIGHT) — 4:15 JV/6 varsity
Thur-4 @ Chimacum — 3:15 JV/5 varsity
Sat-6 @ Klahowya — 3:30 varsity/5:15 JV

Current standings:

Girls:

Coupeville 6-0, 12-4
Port Townsend 3-3, 6-10
Klahowya 2-4, 3-13
Chimacum 1-5, 4-13

Boys:

Port Townsend 5-1, 7-10
Chimacum 4-2, 6-11
Coupeville 3-3, 8-8
Klahowya 0-6, 1-16

Banners hang forever!!

Seven games left, one goal for the CHS boys — win a league banner.

There are titles to be won.

And let’s put an emphasis on that S, as both the Coupeville High School girls’ and boys’ hoops squads are in prime position to take the crown in the 1A Olympic League this season.

The Wolf girls are the defending league champs, and remain undefeated as a program in the short history of the league, with both their varsity and JV squads being 11-0 in league play (9-0 last season).

As they prepare for the final seven games of regular season league play — they also have a non-conference tilt left against 12-1 Bellevue Christian — the focus will be on staying the course.

Doing that thing coaches love. Taking one game at a time and not mentally hanging another banner on the gym wall until it’s real.

For the boys, this is fairly new territory.

Coupeville has worked itself back uphill after bottoming out with a win-less season in coach Anthony Smith’s first go-around in 2011-2012 and sits snugly in a tie for second-place in the current standings.

Just a game-and-a-half out of first with seven to play, and two of those against current front-runner Port Townsend, the Wolves will have a large say in their final fate.

Standings through Jan. 18 (league record followed by overall record):

GIRLS

Coupeville 2-0, 8-3
Klahowya 2-1, 3-10
Port Townsend 1-2, 3-9
Chimacum 0-2, 3-10

BOYS

Port Townsend 3-0, 5-8
Coupeville 1-1, 6-6
Chimacum 1-1, 3-10
Klahowya 0-3, 1-13

Get a banner, baby!!

The path is wide open.

After a decade of no new banners being placed on the wall in the Coupeville High School gym — though, arguably, the Wolf tennis squads could have been honored in recent years for their triumphs — both of the CHS hoops squads have a legitimate shot to bust that streak.

The Wolf girls are, by far, the superior squad in the 1A Olympic League, benefiting from having a veteran-heavy team at a time when their three new rivals are painfully young.

But titles deserved and titles earned are two different things, and Klahowya, Chimacum and Port Townsend are not going to merely hand over the championship banner without a fight.

Coupeville has eight of its nine league games ahead in the new year and every night will be a test. Expect the Wolves to pass.

The Wolf boys face a slightly more uphill battle, but, without a dominant team like an ATM or King’s in the way, the league title is WIDE open.

Coupeville came within two missed free throws and a blown defensive coverage of upending Klahowya, and the Wolves will get multiple chances to right that wrong.

One feels like fate, the other a fighting shot.

Bring home some banners, baby.

Current 1A Olympic League standings:

GIRLS:

(League/overall)

Coupeville 1-0, 5-3
