It’s a two-man race right now.
With four games in the books, and six more to play, Logan Downes and Alex Murdy are out in front in the Coupeville Middle School boys basketball scoring race.
Downes, a 7th grader, tops all CMS varsity players in points (57) and scoring average (14.3), but Murdy, an 8th grader, can’t be counted out just yet.
The older Wolf is at a disadvantage, having missed a game, but he’s still singeing the nets for 11.7 points a game, and has the electric style needed to rack up big chunks of offense quickly.
For now, the duo, and their teammates, have to stay content dropping buckets during practice.
Coupeville is mid-way through an 11-day break between games.
The Wolves, who last played Nov. 15 at Granite Falls, don’t hit the court again until Nov. 27, when they host Lakewood.
When they do return to action, the CMS hoops squads close with six games in 17 days.
