Youth Football 2014-10-25 - Playoffs

Of the six Oak Harbor Football and Cheer League teams, four made it to Saturday's first playoff game.

Three games were played at home and one on the road.

At Sedro-Woolley HS at 1pm, the Midget Purple team, 4th in the Cascade Division, drew Olympic Division #1 and undefeated Sedro Blue, falling 45-12.

At 9am, under threatening skies, the Oak Harbor PeeWee team (#2 in the Cascade Division) took on Lakewood (Olympic #3).  That game was all Oak Harbor, as the Wildcats pounded the visitors 27-0.  The PeeWee 'Cats play next Saturday at Wildcat Memorial Stadium against Olympic Division #1 Anacortes.  Kickoff is set for 10:00am.  The winner of that game will play the winner of the Stanwood Red/Sedro Blue game for the NCYFL championship.

After a break for an Anacortes-Burlington PeeWee game, the Wildcats were back in action at 1pm with Olympic #1 and undefeated Junior Gold team played Burlington Blue.  It was a tight game, tied 6-6 at halftime, but the 'Cats returned the 2nd half kickoff for a score and held off the Tigers for the entire half to secure a 12-6 victory.  Next Saturday the Junior team travels to Sedro-Woolley HS at 5pm to take on Stanwood White, with the winner playing the Sedro White/Anacortes winner.

Finally, after going scoreless in the fist half, the Senior Wildcats blocked a PAT early in the 4th quarter to keep a 14-12 lead, then tacked on a touchdown with just over 2 minutes left in the game for insurance in a 22-12 win over LaConner.  The boys will next play Saturday at 9:30am (with a possible move to 9am) at Sedro-Woolley HS for a rematch against the Burlington Tigers.  In their first meeting, the Seniors did not have a good day and fell 44-12.  If they win the rematch, the Seniors will play the winner of the Mt. Vernon/Stanwood game.

Both the Junior and Senior games were played in the rain, as can be seen in the below photos.
