Defense carried the day at the Freshman football game Wednesday evening against the Everett Seagulls.
At halftime the Wildcats were up 14-0 on two touchdowns, both the results of Everett turnovers. The second TD was a direct result of a Ruben Dye interception at the OH 30. Three plays later Isaiah Trower ran around the right side of the line and 72 yard to the end zone. Dye also had a second INT shortly before the end of the half.
In the 2nd half, Everett was able to drive their first possession across the goal line, using over 5 minutes of game time and 9 plays to cover 59 yards. The PAT run failed, leaving the score at 14-6 in Oak Harbor’s favor with 2:36 left in the 3rd.
On the last play of the 3rd quarter, Ryan Gilman had a big sack at the Everett 28 and on 4th and 23 with Everett in a punt formation, the snap sailed over the punter’s head and into the end zone. The punter was able to recover and get the ball just across the goal line to prevent the safety, but it was Oak Harbor ball, 1st and goal, on the Everett 1 yard line. On the next play, Kiefer Hermann took the handoff and with an extra effort got across the goal line. The OH PAT failed, but the Wildcats increased their lead to 20-6.
Everett mounted another long drive, covering 80 yards in 11 plays and running almost 6 minutes off the clock. The run attempt again failed, leaving the score at Oak Harbor 20, Everett 12.
The Wildcat defense stepped up once more, and with Everett facing a 4th and 15 from their own 29 yard line, forced another big sack. This one was a combination of Jack Richter, Jack Frantz and Ryan Gilman.
With the ball now on the Everett 13 yard line and less than a minute to go, Jon Langingham took the handoff, found a hole, and ran for the final score of the day.
The final was Oak Harbor 26, Everett 12
