They can sting you from every direction.

One huge reason for the 14-0 start put together by the Coupeville High School varsity boys basketball team is the way the Wolves share the scoring load.

Six of 10 players have topped 100 points, something only achieved 12 other times by CHS boys teams over the past 105 seasons.

It’s the first time the mark has been reached since the 2009-2010 campaign.

But what about putting seven players into triple-digit scoring?

It’s never happened for the CHS boys, though the 1974-1975 team came remarkably close, with Foster Faris, the #7 scoring option that year, rattling the rims for 95 points.

Heading into the regular season finale Thursday at La Conner, here’s where the current top Coupeville gunners sit:
