Nearing the halfway point in the winter SWISH league in Skagit County, most of the Oak Harbor teams (there are a lot this year) are doing well.

There are a total of 7 teams, two in the 4/5th grade division, one each 6th and 7th grade, and three 8th grade teams.

The 4/5th grade Gold team is 4-0 on the season, winning 34-19 last Saturday and the Purple team is 3-1, winning both ends of a doubleheader, 25-14 and 19-17 last Saturday.

The 6th grade team is 2-2, and won a very close game Saturday against Mobile Merchandisers from the Mt. Vernon area.  Oak Harbor led 14-10 at halftime and the game went down to the wire before the 'Cats pulled off the 22-20 victory.

Photos from the 6th grade game are posted HERE.

The 7th grade team is struggling, falling on Saturday 35-16 and is now 0-3 on the season.

The 8th grade Gold team is 2-2, splitting a back-to-back doubleheader on Saturday.  In the first game, Oak Harbor dominated the Skagit Valley Sonics 41-27 and in the 2nd game led Marysville 27-17 at the half, but the long morning took it's toll in the second half and the Gold Cats fell 34-47.

Also at 2-2 the 8th grade Black team also split a doubleheader, losing the first game 27-37 and winning the second game 42-34.

Last but not least, the 8th grade Purple team fell 54-40 to drop their record to 1-2.

Next weekend, Feb 8th, the photographer will be at Mt. Vernon HS, taking photos of both the Purple and Black 8th grade teams in their games that start at 5:50pm.
