FB 2014-10-13 JV vs Getchell

Monday night's JV game with Getchell didn't beat the rain, but the Wildcats beat the Chargers 26-12.

Oak Harbor got the ball first, and after a 49-yard run by Brycin McIntyre down to the 16, Ryan Valencia punched in from a yard out to make it 6-0 not quite 4 minutes into the game.

Getchell's first drive was stopped by a McIntyre interception, but on the first play, Getchell picked it back.  The Chargers wound up punting.

The Wildcat's second drive was flag-filled, with an apparent 64-yard TD run by Ty Baker called back.  One flag helped the 'Cats.  On a 4-5 near midfield, QB Taylor Kolste worked his count, causing Getchell to jump and prolong the OH drive.  Tyler Snavely made the Chargers pay, running 45 yards down to the 8 yard line where, after switching ends at the quarter break, Nick Rude went in from 1 yard out.  Kolste ran in a 2-point conversion to make it 14-0 just 5 seconds into the 2nd quarter.

After trading possessions, the Wildcats had the ball with under a minute to go.  Rude broke loose for a 41-yard scamper down to the 9 yard line, then Valencia scored from 4 yards out with 17 seconds left to increase the Wildcat lead to 20-0.

Getchell punted their first possession of the 2nd half, but got the ball right back as the 2nd handoff on a reverse play was dropped at the 19 and returned by Getchell to the 3.  Getchell had to run 4 plays (including two flags), but scored from a yard out with 7:00 to go in the 3rd.  OH still led 20-6.

MG scored once more with 11:10 to go in the 4th on a 2-yard run.

Oak Harbor's final score came on a 25-yard run up the middle by Dallas Brodt to make it 26-12.

The Chargers had a chance to score late, with a 1-10 on the OH 24.  The first play was a pass caught OOB, the second pass was batted away at the 3 by Snavely, and Tyler Dodd sacked the QB on 3rd down.  On 4th down, Getchell completed a nice screen pass over the middle, but Joseph Field was able to trip up the runner well short of the 1st down marker to make the final score 26-12.

The JV team is home again next week, taking on the Stanwood Spartans, who are currently tied for 2nd place in the Wesco 3A North with 2-1 league records.
