Numbers make the world go round.
Well, at least they do when you’re writing stat stories, such as this one focusing on the Coupeville Middle School boys’ basketball teams.
The Wolves are six games into their eight-game season, with home rumbles against Sultan and South Whidbey set for Dec. 8 and 15, respectively.
Those final two bouts on the hardwood will dictate who leads the way in the scoring column, as the race for top dog remains a close one.
So far, 31 different Wolves have slipped at least one shot through the net, combining for 562 points.
