Alex Murdy made some more history Friday night.

The high-flying Coupeville High School senior knocked down 15 points against Friday Harbor, cracking the 400-point club for his varsity career.

While that’s a nice personal accomplishment, there’s actually more to it than that.

With the help of older brother Xavier, who graduated last year, the Murdy boys become just the eighth pair of brothers to top 400 points in the 106-year history of Wolf basketball.

Of those dynamic duos, four actually went a step further, with both brothers netting 500+ points, while the Whitney boys, Steve and Joe, are the only Wolf bros to both top 600.

And they accomplished that even though Joe didn’t finish his prep career at CHS, instead transferring to Lynden for his senior season, where he led the Lions to a state title.

 

The great eight, in order by combined points:

 

Bagby – 1636

Mike – 1137
Jason – 499

 

Whitney -1331

Steve – 730
Joe – 601

 

Faris – 1192

Foster – 628
Gary – 524

 

Syreen – 1144

Mike – 594
Jim – 550

 

Zylstra -1129

Denny – 602
Jerry – 527

 

O’Grady – 1083

John – 611
Pat – 472

 

Marti – 1013

Roy – 551
Frank – 462

 

Murdy – 889*

Xavier – 482
Alex – 407 … and counting

 

PS — In the 49-year history of CHS girls basketball, there’s only one sister combo where both players topped 400 points.

 

Black – 1124

Lexie – 622
Brittany – 502

Their baby game is as strong as their hoops game.

A number of former Coupeville High School basketball players have added to Wolf Nation in the past couple of years, with some of the offspring featured in the pics seen above and below.

Little CHS uniforms for them all!

Avis Mitchell’s granddaughter knows grandma is a hoops legend. Pops wasn’t too bad, either.

Caleb Meyer, international man of mystery. (Photo courtesy Molly McPherson)

I knew him before he was big time.

Caleb Meyer is a Coupeville High School grad, current college basketball player, and owner of the most-luxurious naturally curly hair in the Northwest.

But a long time ago, before he got his growth spurt and became a tower of power, he was Videoville royalty, a wee tot hanging out in grampa and grandma’s store.

Caleb guarded the giant gumball machine next to the front door with a righteous passion, and his skills juggling the round candies were a sign of what was to come when he became a basketball whiz kid.

Seeing him return to Coupeville last year for his senior year and play a vital role for a Wolf hoops team which had its best season in three decades-plus, was a personal thrill.

And now Caleb is signing autographs for Skagit Valley College hoops fans who gaze at him like he’s a blend of Harry Styles and Damian Lillard.

Couldn’t happen to a better guy.
