The Wolves have scattered.
With no Coupeville American Legion baseball team this year, five CHS players are trekking to the South End of the Island, while a sixth is commuting to Skagit County.
Juniors Kurtis Smith and Morgan Payne, sophomores Aaron Curtin and Aaron Trumbull and freshman Cole Payne are teaming up with their rivals from South Whidbey High School, playing for a legion squad led by Falcon coach Tom Fallon.
That team kicks off league play Wednesday and goes through mid-July. Find the schedule at: http://www.pointstreak.com/baseball/team_schedule.html?teamid=51296&seasonid=21969.
It’s still in flux a bit, as Fallon is trying to possibly schedule a few games in Coupeville, so his Wolf contingent can play in front of their home fans.
While that five-pack is staying on the Island, junior Ben Etzell is hitting the road to play with the Skagit Sox. He opened his new season by laying down a gorgeous drag bunt for a single — while facing a college pitcher — as the Sox won 8-0.
