A sweet outside shooter, Kacie Kiel is the #2 scorer for the Wolf girls.

It’s all about the points.

Well, really it isn’t. Defense, hard work, hustle, heart, intangibles — they all play major parts in whether a basketball team is successful.

But the game is decided on the scoreboard, and the team with the most points, however they got them, gets the win. So, it is kinda about the points.

Anyway, whatever side of the argument you fall on, running a list of how many points players have scored is quick, easy and eye-catching. So, we’re doing it again.

Now, before we get to the snazzy numbers, one caveat.

These are unofficial varsity scoring totals, compiled from stats I kept at home games and from coach reports from road games.

At various points, a lot of different people have kept the books for Coupeville High School this year, some more on top of things than others.

The Wolf coaches have done their best to pull things together after games, but I wouldn’t be surprised if a point or two has gone missing somewhere.

So, if you don’t like your totals, go through the score-books yourself and prove us wrong.

Or, better yet, go work on your defense and free throw shooting, cause that’s what really wins games, especially late in the season.

OK, enough chatter. The stats through Jan. 9:
