NWLL 2014-04-26

We were able to get to a trio of games Saturday afternoon, after a very rainy morning.

Down in Coupeville, the Minor AA Angels defeated their host, then right after that the Junior Softball Angels also went up against Coupeville, but the final score isn't available.

Later that afternoon, there was a single Major game played at the City Beach fields.  The Angels (I'm beginning to sense a pattern here) vs the Dodgers, with the Angels picking up the win.

Here are direct links to each game

Youth Soccer 2014-04-26

With most of the league taking the morning off for the annual Holland Happening Parade, only the older kids were out on the fields Saturday morning.

And what brave kids they were, as for most of the early games it was pouring.  In fact, the playing field was often the team's best defender, as kicked balls would run into some standing water and stop dead.

Our photographer braved the rain and was out on the fields getting photos of every Gu-10 team and half of the BU-10 teams (the other half was playing in South Whidbey.)  The boys teams covered were the Red Vines, Blues Brothers and Emerald Arsenals.

Oak Harbor met up with Glacier Peak and host Pilchuck last week for a tri meet at Quil Ceda Stadium in Marysville.

In total points scored, the boys team lost to both GP and MP, while the girls split, besting Pilchuck and falling to Glacier Peak, but individually, the Wildcats did well.

The boys team swept the distance events, winning the 800 (Sebastian Ceasar - a season best 2:05.6), 1600 (John Rodeheffer) and 3200 (Rodeheffer).  Dejon Devroe also won the 400m dash in a season-fastest 50.81 to complete the Wildcat event wins.

Devroe also finished 2nd in the 200m dash and was a member of the 2nd place 4x100m and 4x400m relays.

Carlton Johnson was 2nd in the 100 and was also in the 4x100 and 4x400 relays.

Daniel Nunes and Kris Medina rounded out both relay teams.

Chris Humphries was 6th in the triple jump, but set a new PR of 17-1 and David Ray jumped 4-8 in the high jump - his best ever.

Other top 3 finishers for the boys:
Daniel Nunes - 2nd 200m dash and 3rd 400m dash
Jared Gray - 3rd 300m hurdles

On the girls side, Alex Laiblin won the 3200m run for the lone Wildcat track win, but in field events, Taylor Deconzo (shot put), Kenna Prosch (discus - PR 84-7) and Claire Anderson (high jump) all won their events.

While Oak Harbor didn't win any of the sprint events, they showed a lot of depth.  In the 100m dash, for example, Sierra Seabolt was 3rd, Janae Payne 4th, Priya Osborne 5th, Matti Miesle 6th and Jinai Guzman 7th.

There were similar results in the 200, with Oak Harbor picking up 4th through 8th place.

Baseball - Week ending 4-25

This week was all about Everett.  Due to some unfortunate circumstances regarding their home field, the Everett varsity baseball team has yet to play a home game this season.

As a result, two of the games in the 3-game series were played at Oak Harbor this past week, with the final game coming up on Monday the 28th. Right now the game is scheduled to be played in Everett, but stand by for last-minute changes.

Oak Harbor won both varsity games so far, slamming the Seagulls 12-1 on Tuesday, and on Friday it was a much closer 8-4 score.

In JV action, all 3 games were played last week, with the Wildcats winning all three.  Tuesday the 22nd the JV guys won 9-5, then followed it up with a big 13-5 win on Wednesday, then swept the series on Friday with a 10-7 win in Everett.

Friday the Wildcats hosted Getchell.  In the JV game Oak Harbor took an early lead, but a late goal by Getchell tied the game and neither team could score the winning goal before time expired, leaving the game a 1-1 tie.

In the varsity game, Oak Harbor controlled the game early, but could got get a shot past a scrappy Charger keeper, and in the 2nd half, MG was able to scoot a shot past the Wildcat keeper, then held the 'Cats off to preserve the 1-0 win and getting revenge for a 2-1 loss at Getchell early in the season.

Little League 2014-04-19

We got to a total of 3 games this past Saturday, including the wild first game between the Jr. Mariners and South Skagit.

The Mariners built a large lead early, but a big 4th inning by the Cardinals tightened the game and in the 7th inning the Mariners found themselves down by 3 runs.  A hit, then a walk with bases loaded closed the score to just a single run, and a sharp rap by the Mariners batter was bobbled by the 2nd baseman and it looked like the batter would make it to first safely, scoring a run and tying the game.

The throw just beat the runner for the 3rd out and the Mariners fell by 1 run.

The other games were the AA Dodgers hosting the Giants from South Whidbey, and the A Bees vs Rattlers.

With most OH teams on the road, getting rained out, the only action in town was the JV baseball game that took place despite some strong winds and occasional rain.

After a slow first inning, the Wildcat bats were smoking in the 2nd, as the team batted around and scored 6 runs to take a 6-0 lead.

In the top of the 4th inning, Stanwood mounted a comeback to close the score to 5-6, but the Wildcat bats kept cracking and the JV squad won by a final score of 10-6.

Boys Soccer 2014-04-15 vs Shorecrest

On a night were the Wildcats needed everything to go right, it seemed everything went wrong, as the 'Cats were shut out in both the varsity and JV games Tuesday night in Wildcat Memorial Stadium.

Not only were the 'Cat having an off night both offensively and defensively, it seemed that the visiting Scots could do no wrong, as every time a shot on the OH goal was blocked by the keeper, there was another Scot on the other end of the goal ready to boot it in.

On the plus side, there are plenty of great photos!
