FB 2014-10-10 Varsity at Getchell

Dejon Devroe can not be stopped by mortal man.

The Oak Harbor High School football sensation proved that again Friday, Oct. 10, busting out a four-touchdown performance -- in which every scoring run was 47 yards or longer -- to lead the Wildcats to a 47-25 shredding of host Marysville-Getchell.

The victory lifted the 'Cats to 4-1 overall, 3-0 in 3A Wesco play.

It also keeps them on a collision course with fellow undefeated heavyweight Marysville-Pilchuck. The two squads clash Oct. 24 and it's
shaping up to be a battle for a league title for a third straight season.

Facing the less-fearsome Marysville squad, Oak Harbor let the Chargers hang around for a bit.

Getchell actually got on the board first, booting a 30-yard field goal after they recovered the ball when Oak Harbor fumbled a punt return.

Marysville would hold the lead one more time (at 9-6 with five and a half minutes left in the first) and stayed close for much of the first half, trailing just 26-18 with under a minute in the first half.

Enter reality.

Using just 22 seconds, Oak Harbor strolled to a game-breaking touchdown, with Princeton Lollar crashing in from 18 yards out.

That capped a remarkable two-minute stretch in which the two teams combined for 24 points.

Marysville scored on a one-yard run (the kick failed) and a 38-yard field goal, while Oak Harbor countered with an 81-yard sprint to the promised land by Zach Jones (kick failed) and Lollar's TD.

Stunned by Oak Harbor's quick strike at the end of the half, Marysville wasn't the same team in the second half, and the Wildcats tacked on a pair of touchdowns to pad the lead to 47-18.

Getchell finally stopped the bleeding with a 60-yard scoring pass-and-catch in the final three minutes, but any hopes of a comeback were long dead by that time.

Lollar scored twice on short runs (two and one-yard dashes) and Jones hit on his huge run, but most of the night it was the Devroe Show.

The 5-foot-10, 150-pound whirlwind of a senior bolted for scoring runs of 51, 47, 67 and 47, racking up 212 yards alone on just those four carries.

He has broken 119 yards or more in all five of Oak Harbor's games this season.
