It’s ever evolving.
They’ve been playing boys basketball at Coupeville High School for 105 years now, the program’s history stretching from 1917 to 2022.
And I’ve been chasing scoring stats for 101 of those years.
Well, maybe not that long, but there are days where the pursuit seems never-ending, a mad mix of half-forgotten scorebooks and often faulty memories.
Unless we can build a time-machine and go back and find an old-school secretary and convince her to stash all the records in one spot, we’ll probably never have a 100% complete scoring list.
But you can make the Hall of Fame shooting 50%, so, all things being equal, we’re doing fairly well.
What I do have is a list which covers 406 players and gets a little closer to being complete every time something from the past resurfaces.
This season we got a big boost when old-school scoring ace Jack Elzinga reached out to me and delivered stats from one of the two biggest missing years in my Indiana Jones-style pursuit of buckets.
Toss in a little tweaking in other areas, add this year’s totals, and viola, we present a pretty complete chart.
Enjoy.
