Hawthorne Wolfe enters his senior season #24 all-time across the history of Wolf boys basketball.
It’s a living, ever-updating history.
Entering the 2021-2022 high school basketball season, I’ve been able to document 402 Coupeville boys and 234 girls who have tallied at least one point in a varsity game.
With boys hoops at CHS stretching back to 1917, there are understandably some early-day names still missing from my records.
Though, at this point, those missing gunners played in prehistoric eras where scoring was rare, so the top of the charts is pretty safe.
Unless we ever track down the 1951-1952 Wolf boys stat sheet and complete Tom Sahli’s stellar totals.
Until then, the one former CHS grad to ever face-off with hoops immortal Elgin Baylor will sit at #19 all-time, while we’ll know he’s probably top 10.
But with current players, our totals are pretty impeccable, which puts us in a good place.
There are 10 boys and 13 girls currently walking the hallways at CHS who have scored in a varsity uniform, including two who did so before they were actually in high school.
Thanks to tweaks in the rules, Lyla Stuurmans and Savina Wells got a jump on their hoops careers, allowed to play on the Wolf varsity last season as 8th graders.
Maddie Georges, a junior, and senior Hawthorne Wolfe are the top returning scorers, and it’s Hawk who is ready to make a run at history.
He enters his senior campaign in 24th place on the all-time CHS boys scoring chart, just 24 points from cracking the top 20.
With 664 points, Wolfe would need to scorch the nets for 474 more to pass Jeff Stone (1967-1970) and Mike Bagby (2002-2006), tied for #1 among CHS boys with 1,137 points apiece.
Brianne King’s school record of 1,549 points, however, set between 1999-2003, seems safely out of reach.
Barring any schedule changes, Coupeville’s boys have 20 regular season games, and the hope of a playoff run afterwards.
Wolfe would need to pop for 23.7 points a night over 20 games to reach 1,138, and he went for 21 a game in a pandemic-shortened 12-game season as a junior.
So, you’re saying there’s a chance?
