Coupeville football had an unexpected week off after injuries forced it to cancel a non-conference game.

Things are starting to drop into place.

The further we get into the fall sports season, the more the frontrunners become clear.

Defending Northwest 2B/1B League champs La Conner (volleyball), Orcas Island (boys soccer), and Mount Vernon Christian (girls soccer) are all back in the lead, while Friday Harbor (football) is rebounding nicely after losing a season to Covid.

While it doesn’t sit in first-place in any sport, Coupeville is solid, currently second-best in volleyball and football.

Originally it seemed like Wolf girls soccer was also in second, but it turns out a score was misreported for the Friday Harbor vs. La Conner game, momentarily bumping CHS down a rung.

That could change this coming week, however, as the Coupeville boosters host Friday Harbor Tuesday.

Toss in home games against La Conner Thursday and non-conference foe Sultan Saturday (that’s Senior Night), and the Wolves have a busy week — and no bus rides.

Boys soccer and football only have a single game apiece, with both teams hitting the road Friday.

The booters are off to Lopez Island, while the gridiron giants travel to La Conner — if both the Wolves and Braves football teams have enough healthy players after both teams cancelled games this past week.

Coupeville’s cross country team doesn’t compete again until the league championships Oct. 21, but volleyball will be busy, with a pair of matches.

The Wolf spikers travel to Orcas Tuesday, where they will attempt to cement their hold on second-place, before hosting Darrington Thursday.

Welcome to life on a bus (and a ferry).

Seven of the eight contests next week for Coupeville High School teams are road affairs, with just Monday’s volleyball match at home.

It’ll be a nice test for the Wolves, to see how they respond to playing outside their comfort zones.

And a good way for the school district to test the gas mileage on those aforementioned buses.

So, there’s that.

CHS volleyball gets that lone home contest Monday against South Whidbey, then travels to Friday Harbor Tuesday afternoon.

For soccer, the girls also travel to Friday Harbor Tuesday, then trek to La Conner Thursday, while the boys go to La Conner Tuesday and Grace Academy Friday night.

Wolf football heads to Friday Harbor for a first-place showdown Friday, while cross country runs at Mount Vernon Christian a day before.

Where things stand through Sept. 26:

Northwest League boys soccer:

School	League	Overall

The end is near

One night, two titles on the line.

Tuesday marks the end of the transplanted 2021 basketball season, and both Northwest 2B/1B League titles will be decided on the floor in Mount Vernon.

First up, the La Conner girls will try and finish out an undefeated league campaign, while Mount Vernon Christian will vie for the upset.

The first time these squads faced off, the Braves bounced the Hurricanes 58-33, giving MVC its only loss of the season.

La Conner has impressive non-conference wins against 1A Kings and 2A Lynden, with its lone setback coming to 2A Burlington-Edison.

The math is simple — Tuesday’s winner is league champ.

In the boys contest, MVC will be playing for a title, while La Conner will try and fill the role of spoiler.

Hurricanes win, they top an extremely-close race partially determined by only two of seven NWL schools — Coupeville and Concrete — playing a full 12-game league schedule.

If La Conner triumphs, however, Friday Harbor comes out on top for the boys title.

With their own win Tuesday over visiting Darrington, Coupeville can finish with victories in two-thirds of its games, but it can’t win a league title.

A one-point loss in overtime to Friday Harbor denied the Wolves that fate, but a win against Concrete in their next game did clinch the program’s first winning season since 2010.

Any fingernails left to bite?

Nine days to play, two titles up for grabs.

Technically.

A person might come along and randomly look at the Northwest 2B/1B League basketball standings for the first time today and think both races are all-out wars.

It’s not true, though.

While the Mount Vernon Christian girls are a very-good team, and do sit just a half-game off of La Conner, I am here to tell you to take all your money to Vegas and bet on the Braves and not the Hurricanes.

The one loss for MVC came against La Conner, and it wasn’t close, with the Braves rolling to a 58-33 win.

That’s the second-closest any team has come to toppling the 2B powerhouse, with the other being 1A royalty King’s, which fell 44-39 in a war of teams which would be playing for state titles in a non-pandemic world.

La Conner and MVC face off a second time, in the season finale June 15, and I could turn out to be an idiot.

If the Hurricanes win, I’ll tip my hat to them.

But I don’t think I’ll need a hat that day.

On the other side of the standings, it is a legitimate war, but, after a 3-0 week, the Coupeville boys control their own destiny.

While MVC has the same 6-3 record as the Wolves, CHS swept the season series with the Hurricanes, and will play three more games to Mount Vernon’s two.

Win out, while playing Friday Harbor (5-3), Concrete (0-9), and Darrington (2-3), and Coupeville, which is on a four-game winning streak, can’t be stopped.

The first, and biggest of those contests comes Tuesday on Whidbey, followed by a road trip Thursday to the wilds of Concrete.

Senior Night arrives the following Tuesday, June 15, four days after graduation, and could be one of the biggest nights in Coupeville boys basketball history.

Where things stand through June 6:

Northwest League boys basketball:

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

MV Christian	8-1	9-1

Coupeville	4-5	4-5

Scramble for hardwood supremacy heats up

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!
