It’s the gold standard.
Across 107 seasons of Coupeville High School basketball, we’ve documented 762 different players — 416 boys and 246 girls — scoring in a varsity game.
Until today, only nine had topped the 1,000-point barrier.
Now, it’s double digits for the four-digit club.
Wolf senior Logan Downes became the sixth CHS boy, and tenth player overall in school history, to achieve hoops immortality, doing so Friday on a slash to the hoop as time ran down in the first quarter of a 72-30 rout at Darrington.
The silky sniper finished with 16 points in limited minutes and sits at 227 with half his senior season left to play.
The Wolves, now 8-2 on the current campaign, have 10 regular-season games still on the schedule (assuming a postponed South Whidbey clash is reinstated), then hopefully a long playoff run.

Downes scored 52 points as a freshman during a Covid-shortened season, then jumped to 172 the next year, helping CHS win a league title and advance to state.
As a junior, he torched the nets for 554 points, the second-best single-season performance in school history, trailing just Jeff Stone’s 644 in 1969-1970.
Downes is averaging 22.7 a night as a senior.

Brianne King — 1,549
