Every point counts.

And hopefully none get left behind.

As a basketball season unfolds, keeping track of all the scorebooks — some beautifully rendered, others not so much — can be a daunting task.

But the “reward” is seeing a full campaign of hoops laid out in front of you in black and white numbers, forever stamped in history.

Or some such nonsense.

The look you give when you realize your point totals are being controlled by a scorekeeper in another town … and that scorekeeper is questionable at best.

Anyway, as we head into the regular season finales Friday against Friday Harbor, here’s where Coupeville High School players currently sit.

We think…

Roy Mattox

The basketball brotherhood is remembering one of its own.

Roy Mattox, who played three seasons of varsity hoops at Coupeville High School, recently passed away at age 81.

Mattox torched the nets for 191 points during his time in a Wolf uniform, while playing alongside CHS hardwood legends such as Mike Criscuola, Utz Conard, and Sandy Roberts.

He remains among the top 150 scorers in the 108-year history of CHS boys’ basketball — currently at 147th — six decades after his playing days.

Mattox scored 34 points as a sophomore during the 1958-1959 season, then followed that up with 74 and 83-point campaigns before graduating in 1961.

 

From the family:

Roy Michael Mattox passed away Jan. 19, 2025, in Carnation.

Mike was born in Queens, New York on Sept. 13, 1943, to Roy Milton and Jean Mattox.

He graduated from Coupeville High School in 1961. He then went to WSU.

He was preceded in death by his brother, Gary Lee Mattox and his sister, Gail Mattox Allen Welches.

He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Joyce, and son, Michael, and daughter, Dawn, and also by cousins, in-laws, and many nieces and nephews.

With a career in life insurance sales, he retired after 25 years with Hartford Life first in Seattle and then in Simsbury, CT.

We are having a celebration of his life on Saturday, February 8, 2025, at 1 PM at Wallin-Stucky Funeral Home in Oak Harbor, WA.

The Wolves are putting the spotlight on the fight against a terrible disease.

CHS basketball is holding its annual “Coupeville vs. Cancer” night Tuesday, when Mount Vernon Christian comes to town for four games.

Tip-off is 5:15 PM for girls’ varsity and boys’ JV, with boys’ varsity and girls’ JV set to go at 7:00.

Donations will be accepted, while t-shirts and cancer awareness bracelets will be for sale.

All proceeds will be donated to the V Foundation for Cancer Research, founded by ESPN and legendary college basketball coach Jim Valvano.

There will also be a large poster on the wall at the entrance to the CHS gym complex, with fans given a chance to sign the names of loved ones who have been impacted by the disease.

Pens in multiple colors will be available, so that those signing can match specific cancer ribbons.

Now things get serious.

Next week is a huge one for Coupeville High School basketball teams, as they clash with the only schools ahead of them in the standings.

The Wolves welcome league leader Mount Vernon Christian to Whidbey Tuesday, Jan. 28, before traveling to La Conner three days later.

With only one conference clash left on the schedule after that, next week’s twin bill will have a ton to say on where both Coupeville teams end up in the race for playoff seeding.

School League Overall
MV Christian 6-0 9-7
