Coupeville Sports

   Brianne King (in pink) is joined by (clockwise from top right) Novi Barron, Makana Stone, Megan Smith, Ann Pettit, Ashley Ellsworth-Bagby, Terry Perkins, Lexie Black, Kristan Hurlburt and Tina Lyness.

It’s an exclusive club.

212 women, all united by one thing — they scored in a varsity basketball game while wearing a Coupeville High School uniform.

The list stretches from the second season of modern-day, post Title IX, girls hoops at CHS (1975-1976) until today.

Why does it not include the first season, you ask?

Because the Whidbey News-Times chose to ignore the ’74-’75 team completely and while I did obtain two photos and a roster from a former player, so far no stats have surfaced from that inaugural season.

So, with apologies to the first Wolves, we’re working with what we have.

But, if you are holding any stats from ’74-’75, send them my way and I’ll happily update this story.

Until then, with the caveat that there is no way to be 100% correct short of 43 years of perfectly-inscribed score-books suddenly surfacing (ha!), I give you the history of CHS girls hoops, told one bucket at a time.

Are there some baskets missing here and there? Absolutely.

I know for a fact I’m still missing 2-3 games from three different seasons (2003-2004, 2005-2006 and 2006-2007), though I’m close to tracking those down.

While those stats will tweak a couple of player’s point totals, there aren’t enough points still hidden in the mists of time to change the top 10, though.

Having scoured newspaper archives, tracked down what score-books are available and spent countless hours harassing those who played and coached, I can say, “This is 96.2, maybe 97.4% correct” with some confidence.

So, there’s that.

And, before you ask, we’re using maiden names, because those are the names players had when they torched the nets.

It’s a list which ranges from one-season wonders like Amanda Allmer and Sarah Mouw, who transferred in for their senior seasons, to young women who plugged away as role players year after year, getting a few points here and there.

There are seven active players on the list, with junior-to-be Lindsey Roberts (#77) slightly edging out senior-to-be Mikayla Elfrank (#79) as the top returning player.

The real target for Roberts, though? Mom Sherry, who sits a mere 28 points ahead of her at #64.

Topple the woman who brought her into the world and Lindsey will own family bragging rights, having already outpaced dad Jon Roberts, uncle Jay Roberts and aunt Jennifer (Eelkema) Roberts.

And that’s what lists like this are for — a way to remember the past, offer a target for the future and start (or finish) endless arguments at Thanksgiving.

You’re welcome.
