The standings matter, and they don’t.

Case in point — while the La Conner boys currently have a slightly better conference record overall than Coupeville, it’s the Wolves who would be the Northwest League’s top seed to the 2B playoffs.

That’s because of the split nature of a 2B/1B league, where three schools are from the former, and four from the latter.

When the postseason begins, seeding is only based on games between schools at the same level.

That’s why Coupeville’s boys, who beat La Conner the first time out, are 1-0 in the three-team, four-game rumble which matters the most.

The Braves are 1-1, with Friday Harbor at 0-1.

On the girls side of things, La Conner is 2-0, with Coupeville and Friday Harbor sitting on 0-1.

Two of the three 2B schools earn a playoff ticket, with plenty of big games between now and the regular season finales Feb. 10.

The week ahead offers a mix of games for Coupeville, with the Wolves travelling to Concrete Tuesday, Jan. 24, before hosting Friday Harbor Jan. 27.

With three weeks left in the regular season, a look at current win/loss records:

 

Northwest League boys basketball:

School League Overall
MV Christian 5-0 13-5
La Conner 3-1 7-7
Orcas Island 3-1 12-6
Coupeville 2-2 9-6
Friday Harbor 1-2 2-11
Concrete 1-5 3-11
Darrington 0-4 3-11

It’s not totally a make-or-break week, but it’s close.

There’s still plenty of games left to play, but the days ahead are important to both Coupeville High School varsity basketball teams as they try and make a statement in conference play.

First up is a trip to La Conner Wednesday, followed by a second bus journey Friday to Mount Vernon Christian.

For the Wolves, that pits them against the current top two teams in the Northwest 2B/1B League standings.

While both contests are important, the La Conner matchups have an extra layer of intrigue, as Coupeville’s playoff seeding is driven by how they perform against the other two 2B schools — Friday Harbor and La Conner.

Two of three 2B teams advance to the bi-district tourney, where the boys will be joined by Auburn Adventist Academy and Northwest Christian from District 2.

The girl’s postseason rumble is a three-team event, with Auburn Adventist rounding out the field, with both tourneys hosted by Coupeville — whether the Wolves are playing or not.

There are two tickets to state for District 1/2 boys’ teams this season, and one for the girls.

As we look ahead to rivalry week, and beyond, where everyone currently sits in the standings:

 

Northwest League boys basketball:

School League Overall
MV Christian 3-0 10-5
La Conner 1-0 6-6
Orcas Island 2-1 10-6
Coupeville 1-1 8-5
Concrete 1-3 3-9
Friday Harbor 0-1 1-9
Darrington 0-2 3-8

 

Northwest League girls basketball:

School League Overall
MV Christian 3-0 13-2
La Conner 1-0 9-3
Orcas Island 2-1 4-8
Coupeville 1-1 5-6
Darrington 1-1 7-3
Friday Harbor 0-1 1-7
Concrete 0-4 1-10

We’re heading towards the finish line.

There are still plenty of games to play, but having reached the midpoint of October, fall sports are definitely starting to wind down.

All five Coupeville High School teams are in action this coming week, with three squads at home.

Boys soccer gets to avoid any bus trips, hosting Providence Classical Christian Tuesday and Lopez Island Saturday.

Meanwhile, Wolf volleyball has a split schedule — at La Conner Tuesday, then home Thursday for Darrington — while football hosts La Conner under Friday Night Lights.

Coupeville’s other two active programs hit the road for their only competition of the week.

Girls soccer traipses to Granite Falls Tuesday, while cross country is off to Mount Vernon Thursday for the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships.

Where things stand through games of Oct. 15:

School League Overall
Orcas Island 5-0-0 9-1-0

It was the perfect storm, if you wanted very few games played.

The aftereffects of snow and ice mixed with the never-ending pandemic shuffle to keep most Northwest 2B/1B League basketball teams off the court this past week.

On the boys side of things, only one of nine scheduled games was actually played, with Coupeville running La Conner off the floor.

Things were slightly more active for girls hoops squads, with an emphasis on the word slightly.

La Conner KO’d Coupeville’s girls, while Mount Vernon Christian blasted Concrete a few days later.

Then, Saturday night, La Conner broke triple-digits, shellacking Concrete in a savage 104-14 win.

Other than that, six of nine scheduled games failed to have a tip-off.

The week ahead is pretty barren, as well, at least for Coupeville, which currently only has one set of games on the schedule.

The Wolves host MVC Tuesday, Jan. 11, with the boys game a showdown for sole possession of first-place in the NWL.

After that, barring pesky Covid positives, or frogs raining down from the skies, CHS goes full-tilt, with four games in five days between Jan. 18-22.

Maybe.

Until then, here are where things stand through games of Jan. 8:

 

Northwest League boys basketball:

School League Overall
Coupeville 4-0 6-0
MV Christian 3-0 6-2
Darrington 1-1 3-3
Friday Harbor 1-2 2-4
La Conner 1-2 3-5
Orcas Island 1-2 3-4
Concrete 0-4 1-7

 

Northwest League girls basketball:

School League Overall
La Conner 6-0 10-0
MV Christian 4-1 8-2
Coupeville 3-2 4-3
Darrington 1-2 3-4
Orcas Island 1-2 2-5
Friday Harbor 1-3 1-6
Concrete 0-6 2-7

Livin’ large in the ritzy part of town.

That’s where the Coupeville High School varsity basketball teams are right now, with both the Wolf girls and boys sitting in first place in the Northwest 2B/1B League.

The teams are a combined 4-0 in conference action, and 7-1 overall heading into the final week of action in 2021.

Coupeville travels to Concrete Tuesday, Dec. 14, then meanders to Mount Vernon Christian Dec. 17.

Wrapping up the first part of the hoops season with non-conference showdowns against South Whidbey Dec. 18, the Wolf squads have a rare split.

Coupeville’s boys will be at home, while the girls make the epic journey to Langley.

After that, both teams will practice, but not play for a bit, as the holidays toss in a break.

Games don’t return until Jan. 4, with the majority of the season’s contests playing out in 2022.

 

Where things stand, through games of Dec. 11:

 

Northwest League boys basketball:

School League Overall
Coupeville 2-0 4-0
MV Christian 2-0 4-1
Friday Harbor 1-0 2-1
La Conner 1-1 3-3
Darrington 0-1 2-3
Concrete 0-2 1-3
Orcas Island 0-2 1-3

 

Northwest League girls basketball:

School League Overall
Coupeville 2-0 3-1
La Conner 2-0 5-0
Friday Harbor 1-0 1-3
