Middle School Boys Basketball 12-9-2009 NWMS @ OHMS

Oak Harbor Middle School was the site of this years' scheduled league contest between the two schools last Wednesday the 9th of December.

The 7th grade teams went first with North Whidbey running away with the game. The Cougars had a 12-4 advantage at the end of the first period and that's as close as it would get. This year's 7th grade champs in OH are the North Whidbey Cougars. Zach Jones led the Cougars with 42 points, and Brad Nehring was also in double figures with 15. Also scoring points for North Whidbey were Jeremy Vester with 6, Gage Eccleston 5, Jairus Davis and Khaleel Smith with 4 each and Hunter Adams with 2. For the Oak Harbor Panthers, it was Joseph DeGuzman with 7, Chris Humphries 6, Brent Mertins and Daniel Wolfe 3 each, and Michael Lauersdorf and Sebastian Ceaser with 2 each.

The 8th grade game was nearly the opposite of the 7th grade game, with OHMS pounding the visiting Cougars 63-20. Leading the Panthers were Bobby Grace and Zack Gibbs, each with 12 points. Alex Krantz was also in double figures with 10. Rounding out the OHMS scoring was Drew Washington 7, Casiano Atinez 5, Devin Jensen and Anthony Smither 4, Andrae Gray 3 and Matthew Zafra, Antonio Unpingco and Isaiah Rennes with 2 each. For the NWMS Cougars it was Blake Budzisz with 12, Tom Horton with 4, Jahleel Vester 3 and Shannon Baer 1.

The two school will meet again several more times this season with dates and places to be determined.
