They’re coming down the stretch.
With six regular season games left to play, the jockeying for the top of the scoring chart is at a fever pitch. While all the public talk is about team, team, team, you know deep down that at least one or two (or more) Coupeville High School basketball players know exactly where they are in terms of their point production.
From the outside, where we can stir the pot all we want, there are questions aplenty.
Will the surging Ben Etzell — who has popped for 21 and 24 points recently — catch the steady-as-he-goes Nick Streubel or will Aaron Trumbull trump them both? On the girls side, Breeanna Messner, Bessie Walstad and Makana Stone are separated by just two points, and yet no one in the trio is the team’s leading scorer … for now.
And the owner of the most points scored in 2012-2013? She suits up for the JV.
So, in case you were wondering, here are semi-official, up-to-the-minute scoring totals for three of the four CHS hoops squads. The boys JV team is missing since I don’t have complete totals. If you do, you know where to find me.
And yes, I would be the first to tell you defense wins games. But offense puts butts in the seat. I know, it’s a Catch-22.
