There is no off-season for Aaron Trumbull.

The Coupeville High School two-sport star will be a senior in the fall, and he’s spending a chunk of his summer honing his games in anticipation.

Trumbull travels down to South Whidbey with Wolf teammate Cole Payne to play American Legion baseball with the Falcons.

While there he plays first and pitches, while wielding a hot bat.

Then, in his spare time, he hits the court with his CHS teammates to play basketball.

Working as a unit with other Wolves such as Joel Walstad, Gabe Wynn and Dalton Martin, Trumbull and Co. are continuing their climb back into being a contending team.

A new school year means a move out of the 1A/2A Cascade Conference into the 1A Olympic League, where the other schools will be much closer in size to CHS, the smallest 1A school in the state. Opportunity abounds.

At the forefront of the charge will be Trumbull, who is sacrificing now for possible glory later.
