Dejon Devroe got Homecoming started off with a bang.
The Oak Harbor High School star blasted through Arlington's defense Friday, Oct. 3, tearing up his home turf for 145 yards and a pair of touchdown runs. By the time he was done, the Wildcats had a tidy 41-27 win and were ready to move on to the dance.
Devroe put up on some nifty moves, scoring on a six-yard run to open the scoring, then tacking on a game-busting 77-yard sprint to the end zone shortly after the teams returned from the locker rooms at halftime.
Oak Harbor put the game away fairly early, bolting out to a 27-14 lead at the half.
After Devroe's opener, Quinn Karney plunged in from the two-yard line to stretch the lead to 13-0 (the PAT was blocked).
The 'Cats tacked on a 21-yard touchdown toss from Clay Doughty to Dyllan Harris, before beating the clock to punch in a touchdown on a run by Princeton Lollar with a single second left on the first-half clock.
Any hopes of a second-half comeback for Arlington were promptly squashed as Oak Harbor scored on its first two possessions after the break.
Devroe went ballistic, then ripped off another 23-yard stroll through the defense to set up a second TD pass from Doughty to Harris. This one went 10 yards.
Arlington made the final score look a little more reasonable with a pair of touchdowns in garbage time.
The Eagles packaged a nine-yard TD run and an 11-yard TD pass around Oak Harbor's first, and only, punt of the game, which didn't come until the 3:10 mark of the fourth quarter.
The win, which lifted Oak Harbor to 3-1 overall, 2-0 in the 3A Wesco, was a well-played affair on both sides of the ball for the 'Cats.

While the offense was clicking all night long, the defense had its moments as well.
First on the spotlight was Savion Passmore, who recovered two fumbles.
