All about those numbers!!

Defensive dynamos Kalia Littlejohn (back) and Ema Smith may goof around during photo shoots, but are deadly-serious on the court.

It’s never too early to look at the numbers.

We’re only a week into the new basketball season, and the number of games played widely varies team to team.

So, take everything in the proper context and … and … Hunter Smith is coming for all your records!!

OK, deep breath.

The reality is the Coupeville boys have only played two games, or exactly 10% of their regular-season schedule. There’s a long way to go.

But, through those first two games, Smith is averaging 22 points a night, having hit 24 on the road at Blaine and 20 at home against Mount Vernon Christian.

Stay healthy and keep the same shooting touch and the Wolf senior could make a run at cracking Coupeville’s Top 10 for single-season and career scoring.

Having entered the season with 465 points, he’s now at 509 and has leap-frogged four former CHS stars to sit, for the moment, as the 41st best scorer in the 101-year history of Wolf boys hoops.

On the other side of the ball, fellow senior Mikayla Elfrank leads the way, averaging a whisper under 13 a game.

And what do the standings tell us?

Well, no one has played a league game yet, but Coupeville is the only school to get a win from both its girls and boys teams.

So, on we plunge, with the Wolves returning to the court this coming Friday and Saturday (Dec. 8-9).

CHS hosts Sequim, then travels down to South Whidbey, with both doubleheaders non-conference affairs.
