Youth Basketball 2014-02-08

All seven Oak Harbor teams were in action this past Saturday, with both of the 8th grade AA teams, Oak Harbor Black and Oak Harbor Purple in action at Mt. Vernon HS.

The Black team played a doubleheader, with the first against 4-0 Tri-City from Canada, where they fell 42-28.  In the 2nd game, which it was a bit of a rollercoaster, the Black 'Cats beat Arlington 48-37 after leading 30-15 at halftime.

Black team photos from the 2nd half of the game against Arlington, including group photos, are posted HERE.

Over in the other gym, the Purple 'Cats were up against Blaine.  After a slow start, Oak Harbor caught up to tie the game 14-14 at halftime.  Then, with just over a minute left, led 27-26.  That lead forced Blaine to foul the Oak Harbor players to stop the clock.  Unfortunately, the Wildcats could not make good on the free throws, then when Blaine came down the court to make their own shots, fouled the shooter.  In the end it was Blaine 29, Oak Harbor Purple 27.

Photos from the 1st half of this game, along with some group photos, are posted HERE.

Next week the plan is to get photos of the 7th grade team and both 4/5th grade teams.
