Coupeville Sports

Aaron Trumbull tracks the flight of the ball off his bat.

Kurtis Smith beats the throw back to first.

Aaron Curtin guards the line at third.

   The left side of South Whidbey’s infield — Curtin and shortstop Morgan Payne — on loan from CHS.

Curtin awaits the pitch.

Yes, yes, Island unity and all, it’s a beautiful thing.

But in the end it’s still weird to see Coupeville High School baseball players wearing South Whidbey colors, even if it is a summer American Legion team.

I guess at some point I’ll adjust to seeing Aaron Curtin, Kurtis Smith, Aaron Trumbull and the Payne boys — Morgan and Cole — in the blue and white.

Photo ace Shelli Trumbull, who shot almost 300 photos as South Whidbey split a doubleheader with Burlington Saturday, will make sure of that.

By then, the season will probably be done, though. I’m a slow learner…
