The magic number? It’s 349.
That’s how many points Coupeville Middle School boys’ basketball players have scored through the first half of the season.
With four games down, and four left to play, 27 different Wolves have rippled the net, whether by field goal or free throw.
And yes, a whole lot of those buckets were set up by others making smart passes, snatching rebounds, fighting for loose balls, or setting bone-crunching picks.
But ultimately basketball games are decided by which team scores the most points.
Plus, it’s the one stat I stand a pretty decent chance at staying on top of as the games unfold.
So, allow me a moment to marinate in the numbers.
