Welcome to the postseason.
Two of Coupeville High School’s four spring sports programs are in action this Saturday, with berths to the state championships at stake.
Wolf track hosts the district meet here in Cow Town, while CHS baseball hits the road and travels to Lakewood High School.
Softball and girls’ tennis begin their own postseason treks a bit later, but here’s what you need to know if you’re planning on attending this weekend’s action.
BASEBALL:
Steve Hilborn’s crew, which has been on a tear in the second half of the season, carries a 10-8 record into play Saturday, and is the top-seeded squad in a three-team royal rumble.
Northwest Christian of Lacey (9-5) opens against Friday Harbor (5-11) at noon in a loser-out game, with the victor returning to the turf field at 2:00(ish) to face Coupeville for the lone state playoff berth from the District 1/2 tourney.
The Wolves will be the home team in their game.
Lakewood High School is located at 17023 11th Ave NE in Arlington.
Playoff pricing is in effect, with both cash and digital ticketing accepted.
Cost is $8 for adults and students without ASB, and $6 for students with ASB, seniors, and children.

TRACK AND FIELD:
Things will be hoppin’ at Mickey Clark Field, as Coupeville hosts the District 1/2 meet, with 2B and 1B teams competing (separately) for tickets to state.
For out-of-towners, the field is at 501 S. Main, directly behind the Coupeville Elementary.
To advance on to Yakima, Wolf athletes need a top two finish in their event Saturday.
Field events start at 11:00 AM, with track events getting under way at 11:30.
Once again, it’s the postseason, so there will be hands in your pockets if you want to get past the gate.
