A first-hand account of the scoring machine.
Stats, stats and more stats.
Tourney time.

It was a time of giants.
From the late 1960s on through the 1970s, Coupeville High School had an especially impressive run in athletics.
Like a lot of history, the tale of those Wolves is scattered in bits and pieces these days, but we’re starting to pull it together, as everyone works together and digs through their scrapbooks and newspaper clippings.
The photos above are from the 1967-1968 boys’ basketball season, when a high-powered CHS squad rolled to a 9-3 mark in league play en route to districts.
Among their players was Jeff Stone, who, two years later, carried Coupeville to the state tourney for the first time in school history.
At this point he was a fast-rising sophomore who had yet to torch the nets for a school-record 48 in a game, but the seeds were being planted.
The photos are courtesy him, and give us a fun ride in the Wayback Machine.
