JV Football wins opener 12-6

In what was the first-ever JV game and first-ever game for Cascade on the new turf at Everett Memorial Stadium, the Wildcat JV came across with a nice win.

According to Coach Nurvic, it was an outstanding game, especially on the ground, as long as the ball was between the 20 yard lines. Our boys had some trouble getting the ball from the 20 into the end zone, but did it enough to win.

Pat Higbee scored the first TD for the 'Cats, going in from the 4 yard line on a dive behind some really good blocking. In the 2nd half, Oak Harbor only threw 2 passes, but one was a fake screen to Andy Haag for a 65-yard touchdown.

Ryan Burne was the starting QB and played for the first 3 quarters, then Gabe Dye came in to get some valuable game experience.

On defense, Coach Nurvic was impressed, especially with the linemen. Dillon Peterson was instrumental in shutting down the Cascade sweep while Alec Castillo got in some licks from his linebacker position.

The Wildcats got two turnovers from the Bruins - 1 INT and 1 fumble, but gave up 2 fumbles and an interception.

Overall, Coach was pleased with the performance of his players and is looking forward to even more success from the JV squad.
