BBB 2015-12-21 vs Mariner

Clinging to a 55-52 lead over visiting Mariner Monday, the Oak Harbor High School boys' basketball squad was 1:42 away from its first win of the season.

Then things fell apart in a way rarely witnessed.

Unable to get a single shot off the rest of the way, crippled by turnovers and an inability to stop the Marauders on the offensive boards, the 'Cats slumped to an eventual 61-55 loss.

The defeat left Oak Harbor sitting at 0-7 heading into the Bulldog Holiday Classic in Mount Vernon next week.

Up until the end, the Wildcats had stretches of inspired ball against Mariner, taking an early advantage at 6-2, then storming back in the second half to reclaim the lead.

Down 24-14 at the half, Oak Harbor threw down 23 points in a torrid third-quarter run.

The two teams swapped the lead several times in the fourth, before Mariner free throws (the Marauders hit 10 of 12 in the final quarter) and Oak Harbor's inability to shoot at the end doomed the 'Cats.

Dyllan Harris paced Oak Harbor with a team-high 19, dropping in 16 of those in the second-half rally.

Adam Nelson added eight, Savion Passmore and Josh Cote each went for seven, while Preston Rankin (4), Sean Erskine (4), Diangelo McKinney (3), Ozell Jackson (2) and Taeson Hardin (1) rounded out the 'Cat scorers.

JV goes wire-to-wire:

Slow and steady wins the game.

Oak Harbor's second-string squad never had any huge runs, but they didn't need them, steadily adding to its lead in every quarter.

A 15-12 lead after one became a five-point margin by the half, six after three and ten by the end, as the Wildcats bounced Mariner 64-54.

Gabe Salinger captured the spotlight with a game-high 20, while Joseph Arinaza and TJ Passmore each chipped in with 10 of their own.

Marcus Carr (9), Gavin Allen (4), Justin Ellison (4), Haven Brown (4) and Jordan Bell (3) also penciled their names into the score-book.

C-Team grabs blowout win:

Dorian Hardin tossed in 17, including three treys, and the young 'Cats romped to a 56-42 win.

Oak Harbor put the game away early, ripping off a 16-7 run in the first before stretching the halftime margin to a solid 14-point spread.

Terell Crumpton dropped nine to back Hardin, while Kevin Schuldt (8), Andrew Balloy (8), Kanoa King (6), Trevor Mondor (3), Austin Boesch (3) and Evan Nadeau (2) also scored.

MS Volleyball 2015-12-10 OHMS vs NWMS

by David Svien

The battle for town supremacy was a one-sided affair.

Oak Harbor's two middle schools clashed last week for volleyball bragging rights, and Oak Harbor Middle School made a huge statement, sweeping both varsity matches against arch-rival North Whidbey Middle School.

OHMS snagged a 25-15, 25-15, 25-18 win in 8th grade play and a 25-13, 25-18, 25-9 victory at the 7th grade level.

Vanessa Thayer, Audrey Moyes, Emily Lamb, Gredina DeGuzman and Lorelyn DeGuzman all collected kills for the 7th grade Wildcats, while Anabel Thayer and Catherine Sublet both skied for a block.

OHMS 7th grade coach Ranee Bristow singled out several of her other plays for praise, as well.

She noted Annie Salinger ("for many aces with her jump floater serve"), Jordyn Burks ("exceptional leadership and communication") and Samantha Palanca ("outstanding passing.")

by David Svien

All or nothing.

The Oak Harbor High School grapplers have had three dual meets this season, and all three times the Wildcats have either swept their opponents or been swept.

Tuesday night it was the happier of the two possibilities, as the 'Cats shredded Meadowdale 60-18 and blistered Mountlake Terrace 48-21 in  matches held in Stanwood.

The wins brought Oak Harbor's season record to 4-2.

Seven Wildcats swept both of their matches, including freshman Michael Fisken, who earned his first two varsity wins via forfeits.

BBB 2015-12-112 vs Anacortes

Dyllan Harris won the duel. Anacortes won the battle.

Despite getting a game-high 29 from their superstar Saturday, the Oak Harbor High School boys' basketball squad fell 72-56 to visiting Anacortes.

The non-conference loss dropped the Wildcats to 0-5.

Harris was on fire, tossing in 12 in the first half, then upping things with a 10-point third quarter and a seven-point fourth.

But, he had very little help, as no other 'Cat topped eight points, while Anacortes had four guys score 13 or more, topped by Trystan Lowry's 23.

The Seahawks blew the game open fairly early, running out to a 26-13 lead after the first eight minutes of play.

From there they stretched it out to a 20-point margin at the half, then coasted home after the break.

Diangelo McKinney tossed in eight for the Wildcats, while Bryce Diras (6), Sean Erskine (4), Ozell Jackson (3), Savion Passmore (2), Adam Nelson (2) and Preston Rankin (2) rounded out Oak Harbor's scorers.

JV toppled:

Take away one quarter and Oak Harbor hung with Anacortes all the way in this one.

Unfortunately, a 21-12 deficit in the third did the Wildcats in as they fell 55-43.

Haven Brown paced the 'Cats with nine points, while Weston Whitefoot and Jordan Bell banged away for eight apiece.

Marcus Carr (6), Joseph Arinaza (4), T.J. Passmore (4) and Gabe Salinger (4) also penciled their names in the score book.

Freshmen on fire: 

All 14 players got in the game for at least 2 quarters, and 10 of the players scored points as the Freshman team whipped the visitors 72-55.  Individual player scores are not available.

GBB 2015-12-07 vs Squalicum

by David Svien

Bryn Langrock couldn't miss.

The Oak Harbor High School gunner went wild in the third quarter Monday, Dec. 7., hitting three-point bombs at the start, middle and tail end of the eight-minute span, lifting her hoops squad to a 48-40 win over visiting Squalicum.

Langrock finished with a team-high 12 as the Wildcat girls improved to 2-1 on the young season.

Oak Harbor put the game away with a 21-point explosion in the third, but actually kick-started things with a solid second quarter. In the middle two periods, the 'Cats went on a 36-18 run.

Going into the fourth, the Wildcats had their biggest lead of the night at 42-23, before letting the Storm back in the game a bit.

Squalicum used a 12-1 surge to get the lead down to seven, but then went cold and failed to score another point in the final minute-and-a-half of the game.

The Wildcats beat the Storm on the boards (36-28) and held their foes to just 22 percent (14-63) shooting from the floor.

Rashanna Graham tossed in nine points in support of Langrock, while Julie Jansen (7), Deja Bunch (6), Janae Payne (6), Matti Miesle (4) and AnnaBelle Whitefoot (4) rounded out the scoring stats.

JV:Take away the first quarter and the Wildcats put up a fight.

The final three quarters were a 30-28 battle in favor of Squalicum, but a 15-0 first quarter doomed Oak Harbor in what became a 45-28 loss.

Samantha Hines led the 'Cats with eight points, while Jaden Jesus tossed in seven and Alisha Wilson banked home six. Hannah Taylor (4), Jordan Wood-Pina (2) and Kayla Roy (1) rounded out the scorers.

C-Team:

Up and down all night.

Strong first and third quarters were blunted by scoreless runs in the second and fourth as the Wildcat freshmen fell 25-13.

Miranda Wilson knocked down seven to pace Oak Harbor, while Rosa Simplicicino dropped in four and Piper Fisher hit a bucket.

BBB 2015-12-04 vs Shorecrest

by David Svien

Dyllan Harris went off, but it wasn't enough.

The Oak Harbor High School senior poured in a game-high 30 Friday, Dec. 4, but the Wildcat boy's basketball squad still got stomped by visiting Shorecrest.

The 92-67 loss dropped the Wildcats to 0-2 on the young season.

Things started off nicely, with Harris dropping 10 in the opening quarter, as Oak Harbor staked itself to an 18-10 lead.

Even after taking a 25-15 hit in the second, the Wildcats were within a bucket at the break, but the visitors continued to pour it on in the second half, dropping 24 in the third, then punctuating things with a 33-point fourth quarter.

Josh Cote banged home 14 and Adam Nelson dropped in 10 in support of Harris.

JV loses:

TJ Hollins-Passmore went for a team-high 15 and Marcus Carr chipped in with 12, but the Wildcats couldn't hang with the Scots, who ran away for a 63-44 win.

C Team falls:

E'Lijah Rabideau put on a show, torching the nets for 26, as the Shorecrest freshman captured a 66-35 victory.

Oak Harbor was led by Dorian Hardin and Terrell Crumpton, who scored nine apiece. Ben Knoll added six, hitting on a pair of three-point bombs.

Wrestling 2015-12-03 vs Lynnwood and Shorewood at Shorewood HS

by David Svien

Undefeated and it wasn't even close.

Kicking off a new season with a bang Thursday, Dec. 3, the Oak Harbor High School wrestling squad creamed both teams it faced in a road match.

By the time the Wildcats were done, they had dismantled host Shorewood 48-30 and upended Lynnwood 51-27.

The matches were more lopsided than the score might indicate, as most of Shorewood's points, for example, came only because Oak Harbor couldn't fill four weights and had to forfeit those bouts.

Three 'Cats -- Garrett Stahl (120 pounds), Blake McBride (126) and Nick Dugan (170) -- collected earned wins in both of their matches, while four teammates won a match and picked up a win by forfeit.

There were a number of good matches, with several freshmen making runs for varsity slots.

Youth Football 2015-11-08

On a cold, windy, rainy day at Mt. Vernon High School last Saturday, two teams from the Oak Harbor Football and Cheer League played in the championship game.

At noon, the Midget Gold team took on Mt. Vernon Green, and despite the rain and wind, there was quite a bit of scoring.

Mt. Vernon got on the board first when the runner broke free for an 82-yard TD run, but OH responded just over a minute later when Kitchens ran it in from 2 yards out.  He also added a PAT kick to put OH up 8-7 with just under 2 minutes to go in the 1st quarter.

The Bulldogs regained the lead in the 2nd on a 12-yard run, then extended their lead to 21-8 with a 28 yard run.

After the half, Kitchens scored again, again from 2 yards out, but this time the kick was no good, and MV led 21-14.

In the 4th quarter, Mt. Vernon scored twice, from 3 yards out and on a 50-yard run to make the final score 34-14 in favor of the home team.

Right after that, the Junior Gold team took the field against Bellingham, and our boys could not overcome a stiff B'ham defense, falling 16-0.

FB 2015-11-06 Playoff vs Juanita

by David Svien

The season ended at the hands of a team very much like themselves.

Run-over by a high-powered rushing offense, the Oak Harbor High School football squad put up a tough fight Friday night, but ultimately fell 49-35 to visiting Juanita in a loser-out district playoff game.

The Wildcats compiled 477 yards of offense, including 230 on 34 carries from Princeton Lollar, but the Rebels responded with 500 yards of their own.

That included 248 yards and four touchdowns from Salvon Ahmed.

Oak Harbor had no trouble rolling up yardage -- Savion Passmore also rushed for 116 yards while Dyllan Harris scampered for 98 -- but the 'Cats couldn't stop Juanita. Ever.

The Rebels opened the scoring on a 30-yard touchdown strike from Tavin Montgomery, and the teams exchanged scores for much of the game.

Each time Juanita scored, Oak Harbor responded until the Rebels put together back-to-back scores late in the third quarter to take their biggest lead of the game at 42-28.

Lollar powered in for his third score of the night, a 20-yard run right before the buzzer, to trim the margin back to seven, but then the Wildcats went cold in the fourth.

Ahmed capped things with a 33-yard TD run.

All four of his scores were big plays, as his touchdown runs covered 64, 33 and 30 yards. He also snagged a 67-yard scoring strike.

Lollar responded with scoring runs of one, seven and 20 yards, while Passmore's touchdown runs covered three and 49 yards, respectively.

Oak Harbor finished 6-3, while Juanita improved to 8-2.

Girls Soccer 2015-10-28 vs Everett

by David Svien

They never stopped fighting.

Even as they wrapped up a tough season, the Oak Harbor High School girls' soccer squad refused to just fall down and give in.

The scrappy Wildcats got their best league performance in 12 Western Conference games in their final time on the pitch, holding on for a hard-fought 2-2 tie with Everett.

The tie left Oak Harbor's final record at 3-11-1 overall, 0-11-1 in league action.

Caylie Etherington, one of the younger 'Cat players who could return next season to help continue to rebuild the program, banged home both goals against the Seagulls.

Oak Harbor loses five seniors to graduation -- Matti Miesle, Alyssa Cross, Suzanne Kaltenbach, Renee Ross and Carly Hall -- but has a solid core of younger players such as Gillian Crossley, Jenna Cooley, Lydia Peplinski and Etherington.

The 'Cat JV, which should send several players up to the varsity next year, finished 2-7-3.

VB 2015-11-03 - Playoff vs Lynnwood at Stanwood

What a thrilling night.

After a rugged 25-17, 16-25, 25-27, 25-23, 15-9 victory over Lynnwood Tuesday night in the District 1 tournament at Stanwood HS, the Wildcat volleyball team is just one win away from going to the state tournament.

FB 2015-10-30 - varsity vs Meadowdale

by David Svien

Every coach loves a deep bench.

Turning to a backup and giving him his moment in the spotlight Friday, the Oak Harbor High School football squad rode a career night by Mac Nuanez to a huge 55-20 road win at Meadowdale.

The victory, the team's fourth straight, lifted the Wildcats to 6-2 and earned them the Western Conference's #3 seed heading into the state playoffs.

Oak Harbor hosts Juanita Friday, Nov. 6.

Nuanez, a backup sophomore fullback who has sparkled on defense this year, stepped in with starter Princeton Lollar still bothered by a nagging injury and was electric.

He picked up 158 yards on 22 carries, scoring six times.

His love affair with the end zone bloomed quickly, as Nuanez rambled through a gaping hole on the left side of the line for a five-yard TD run on just his second carry of the night.

After that he added scoring runs of 30, 8, 3, 3 and 10 yards, working as a one-man wrecking crew.

While Oak Harbor didn't really need much else, it did get big nights from Savion Passmore (114 yards on 10 carries) and Dyllan Harris (109 yards on 11 carries).

The 'Cats amassed a staggering 467 yards on the ground, while quarterback Tyler Snavely picked up 86 through the air.

Oak Harbor blew open a relatively close game with a dominant third quarter. Up 21-7 at the half, the Wildcats put up a 20-0 run coming out of the locker room.

Andrew Miller capped the night's scoring with a 15-yard scoring run, while Harris hauled in a 30-yard touchdown strike from Snavely.

FB 2015-10-26 JV vs Pilchuck

The Oak Harbor JV football team ended their season on a high note, beating Marysville-Pilchuck 46-19 to cap an undefeated run through their WESCO 3A North schedule.

Oak Harbor got on the board first when Ryan Valencia burst through for a 17-yard TD run.

Just under 4 minutes later, Jordan Bell connected with Taeson Hardin for a 78-yard play to make it 14-0.

Pilchuck scored twice late in the 1st quarter to close the game to 14-13, but with 1:46 left in the quarter, Josiah Welch ran around the left side for a 66 yard score, then the 'Cats ran a perfectly executed double reverse for a 2-point PAT and a 22-13 lead at the first horn.

The scoring continued in the 2nd quarter, with the Wildcats scoring on a 43-yard run by TJ Passmore and 40-yard run by Kyle Nickols.  Pilchuck also scored from 9 yards out to make the halftime score 34-19 for Oak Harbor.

In the second half, the 'Cats stepped up the defensive pressure, holding the visitors scoreless,  while scoring twice - another run by Passmore (27 yards) and a 58 yard run by Spencer Champion.

Final score: Oak Harbor 46, Marysville-Pilchuck 19.

The JV squad has one more game, On Nov 2nd at home against Meadowdale.

Since the last update, the Wildcat volleyball team has been on a tear.

Traveling to Getchell on Oct 20th, the girls swept the Chargers 25-17, 25-20, 25-14, then hosted Everett, beating them 28-26, 21-25, 25-21, 25-14.

Wednesday the Oak Harbor freshman football team played their second game of the season against Stanwood, this time at home. 

On the Spartans' home field on Sep 23rd, the 'Cats squeaked out a 16-14 win, but on Wednesday the team just could not get the offense going and fall 12-2, the lone score coming when Michael Fisken, coming in from his linebacker spot on a blitz, tackled the Stanwood QB in the end zone.

They travel to Pilchuck on Wednesday the 28th to end the regular season against the Tomahawks, then travel to Edmonds Stadium on Nov 4th to take on Meadowdale.

Girls Swim 2015-10-19 vs Mt. Vernon

Saying goodbye to the three seniors on the Oak Harbor girls swim team - Sophie Dickinson, Marissa Morris and Mariel Empinado, the Wildcats hosted the Mt. Vernon Bulldogs at Vanderzicht Memorial Pool in Oak Harbor.

While Mt. Vernon won in the team scoring in a squeaker, 93-87, the Wildcats did well in the meet.

In the final event of the day, the 4x100 free relay featured the three seniors and Baelee Whitinger, and the quartet splashed to a 1st place finish in 4:43.49.

Morris also won the 200 free.

Taliah Black won two individual events, the 200 IM and 100 breast, and Natalie Hahn and Kelly Gruenwald added points by finishing 1-2 in the diving competition.

Three days later the 'Cats swam against another 4A school - Kamiak - falling 101-84 in team scoring.

That ended the regular season.  There's a last chance qualifer at Pilchuck on 10/29, then the District meet at the Snohomish Aquatic Center on Nov 6th and 7th.

FB 2015-10-24 Varsity at Pilchuck

by David Svien

The run game is strong in these ones.

Using the same battering ram attack that had carried them all season, the Oak Harbor High School football squad thrashed host Marysville-Pilchuck 42-13 Friday night.

The lopsided win, a rarity in what has been a tight, intense series the past few years, allowed the Wildcats to clinch second place in the Wesco North.

Now 5-2 overall, 4-1 in league play, Oak Harbor will hit the road next Friday, Oct. 30, to play Meadowdale (5-3), which tied for #2 in the Wesco South, in a crossover game.

For the first time in four seasons, the Wildcat/Tomahawk match-up did not decide the Wesco North championship (Arlington clinched that with a 43-13 win against Everett) but the game was still huge.

It was also all 'Cats, all the time, as Oak Harbor thoroughly dominated, crashing through Marysville's defense for 381 yards on 56 carries.

Princeton Lollar led the way with three touchdowns, while Dyllan Harris added a pair of scores.

Up 21-13 at the half, the bigger, badder 'Cats wore down Marysville in the second half, tacking on three touchdowns to blow things open.

Lollar opened things with a one-yard scoring run in the first.

After the Tomahawks tied things up on a 24-yard TD pass from Erik Lind to Trent Tinglestad, Harris blew in from two yards out.

Savion Passmore staked Oak Harbor to a lead it would never relinquish in the second quarter. His 66-yard bolt to pay dirt put the Wildcats up 21-7.

After the halftime break, Lollar added a pair of touchdowns runs (two and four yards), before Harris capped the night on a nine-yard sprint to the end zone.

FB 2015-10-06 Varsity vs Stanwood - Homecoming

by David Svien

Afterward, they danced the Hokey Pokey.

During their game Friday night, the Oak Harbor High School football squad just danced all over visiting Stanwood.

Crashing for an eye-popping 469 yards on just 32 carries, the Wildcats mashed their way to an epic 49-6 Homecoming win and kept alive their hopes of getting a high playoff seed.

Now 4-2 overall, 3-1 in Wesco North play, Oak Harbor travels to Marysville-Pilchuck (4-3, 3-1) Friday, Oct. 23 to close out league play.

The visit will come one day before the year anniversary of the shooting deaths at that school which cancelled last year's match-up between the 'Cats and Tomahawks.

Oak Harbor has an outside shot at finishing in a first-place tie for the league title, but can not earn the #1 seed either way.

If the 'Cats beat Marysville, and Arlington (4-0 in league) stumbles against Everett (1-3), Oak Harbor would share the championship.

Arlington is guaranteed the #1 seed come playoff time, however.

A win and it owns sole rights to the title. In the event of a loss, they hold a tiebreaker against both Marysville and the Wildcats, having beaten both teams.

Knowing that all of that will play itself out, the 'Cats concentrated simply on one thing against Stanwood -- pounding the ball down the throats of the Spartans.

That they did, with six of their seven touchdowns covering 37 or more yards.

Princeton Lollar keyed the offense, crashing through the line for 160 yards on 16 carries, with touchdown runs of 41 and 37 yards.

He also added a 37-yard pass reception (in which most of that was his running) for a third score.

Oak Harbor spread out the rest of the night's touchdowns, with Savion Passmore (82-yard run), Mac Carr (56-yard run), Dyllan Harris (11-yard run) and Mac Nuanez (75-yard run) tallying one score apiece.

With the runners going wild, 'Cat quarterback Tyler Snavely only threw five passes, but he completed four of them for 86 yards.

Oak Harbor's defense stood strong, as well, with Harris, Diangelo McKinnet and Andrew Miller each picking off Stanwood passes.

FB 2015-10-14 - Freshman vs Getchell

While it was a tight game, the Wildcat freshman football team did what they needed to do and outscored the visiting Chargers 15-6.

Oak Harbor got on the board first when Corey Boler picked off a Charger pass and returned it 35 yards.  The kick was good for a 7-0 Wildcat lead halfway through the 1st quarter.

The defense struck again with just 3 seconds left in the 1st quarter when Michael Fisken blitzed from his linebacker spot to tackle the M-G QB in the end zone for a safety.  Now it's 9-0 Oak Harbor.

The scoreboard was quiet through the 2nd and most of then 3rd quarter as both teams slugged it out, neither able to do much on offense.

With Just 20 seconds left in the 3rd it was another pick-six for the defense.  This time it was Ashton Prats going 15 yards for the score.  The kick failed, making it 15-0 for Oak Harbor.

Getchell was able to get on the board on a 1-yard push with just 3:17 left in the game.  MG tried an on-side kick, but Caleb Fitzgerald fell on the ball to ensure a Wildcat possession.

Final score: Oak Harbor 15, Getchell 6.

Volleyball 2015-10-13 vs Pilchuck

by David Svien

Marysville-Pilchuck had a long ride back home.

Absorbing three losses in three matches Tuesday, the Tomahawk spikers felt the full wrath of host Oak Harbor, and it stung. Badly.

The Wildcat varsity romped to a 25-22, 25-13, 13-25, 25-22 win, improving to 4-4 in Wesco North action, 4-6 overall.

While the main crew was winning, the young guns also came away with victories.

The 'Cat JV ran away with a 25-19, 25-19, 26-24 win, sparked by the play of Andrea Ruben (21 assists, 9 aces, 10 digs), Cami Bristow (9 assists, 6 kills) and Chloe Stowell (10 kills).

Also winning in straight sets, though the action went on a big longer, was Oak Harbor's C Team, which triumphed 31-29, 25-22, 23-25.

"After waking up, we eliminated mistakes and played disciplined defense," said 'Cat coach Cory Whitmore.

He praised Megan Flood and Cierra Dean for their play, while singling out Taylyn Boop, who "was great at the net."

Girls Soccer 2015-10-13 vs Mountlake Terrace

by David Svien

Gillian Crossley knows her way around the net.

The Oak Harbor High School soccer sensation, also a goal-scoring weapon for the GU18 Whidbey Islanders club team, banged home her team's lone goal against Mountlake Terrace.

Crossley's score, which came from just outside the box, wasn't enough, however, as the Wildcats were nipped 2-1.

The deciding goal came off of a corner kick late in the second half.

The 'Cat JV fared a bit better, eking out a 2-2 draw.

Camryn Ray tallied Oak Harbor's first goal, taking advantage of a mistake by the Terrace keeper, who lost control of the ball in front of the net.

Jessica Vester capped the scoring, drawing the keeper out too far, then slipping the ball past her at the last second.

Close matches are their trademark.

The Oak Harbor High School boys' tennis squad has played 11 matches this season, and seven of them have come down to one point.

The loss, the second straight by that margin, dropped Oak Harbor to 5-6 overall, 4-5 in Wesco North play.

Well, at least they got to run at home.

Hosting their only home meet of the season Thursday, Oct. 8, the Oak Harbor High School cross country runners spent much of the afternoon chasing after fleet-footed visitors.

With Glacier Peak, Arlington and Edmonds-Woodway on hand, the competition was intense, and, while the Wildcats didn't come away with any wins, they did acquit themselves well.

Glacier Peak's Heidi Smith won the girls' race, covering 5,000 meters in 18 minutes, 52 seconds, while Nathan Beamer of Arlington (16:02) won the boys' battle.

Alexis Smith (17th), Jake Hucko (14th) and Benjamin Gasper (10th in the JV race) were the top Wildcat finishers.

FB 2015-10-09 Varsity vs Getchell

by David Svien

It was a complete role reversal.

A week after blowing a big lead and falling under a non-stop hail of points at Arlington, the Oak Harbor High School football rebounded with a vengeance Friday night.

This time it was the Wildcats going on the scoring tear, as they threw down 34 straight points to close the game, eventually routing visiting Marysville Getchell 46-9.

The win lifted Oak Harbor to 3-2 overall, 2-1 in Wesco North action.

The 'Cats accomplished most of their destruction on the ground, with three backs racking up 100+ yards as Oak Harbor ran wild against a weak Charger defense.

Princeton Lollar was the main man, rumbling for a season-high 260 yards, while Mac Carr and Savion Passmore each topped the century mark in support.

Oak Harbor's defense made its own stand, holding Marysville to just 104 yards of total offense.

The game was close, however, at least in the early going, as the Wildcats clung to a 12-9 lead midway through the second quarter.

Touchdowns from Carr (a three-yard run) and Passmore (an 82-yard jaunt to the end zone) staked Oak Harbor to the lead, but Maryville used a 35-yard field goal from Declan Sweatt and a 28-yard scoring run by Jeremy Pinca to hang tough.

Any hopes of the game playing out down to the wire quickly faded, though, as the 'Cats stepped up and rammed home five straight touchdowns to end the game.

Passmore (21-yard run) and Carr (5-yard run) each added their second score of the evening, before Lollar caught them with two touchdowns of his own.

The first came on a 50-yard explosion, the second on a 13-yard sprint to pay dirt.

Mack Nuanez rounded out the run-happy attack with a two-yard scoring run to provide the night's final points.

Oak Harbor returns to action next Friday, Oct. 16, when it hosts Stanwood for Homecoming. Kickoff is 7 PM.

Girls Soccer update 2015-10-09

Last week was busy for the soccer girls as they played 3 games over 9 days, including a rare Friday night game against Anacortes.

On Sept 30th the girls went to Marysville to take on Pilchuck with both JV (3-0) and Varsity (2-0) falling to the Tomahawks.

Friday the 2nd of October saw the girls in Anacortes, where the JV team got a very nice 6-0 victory and varsity a 3-1 win.

After nearly a week off, they returned to play on Thursday the 8th.  The JV squad fell to visiting Meadowdale 1-0.  The varsity squad got a quick goal and led for much of the first half before the Mavericks tied the game at 1.  The score remained tied until the final minute, when Meadowdale was able to scoot a ball past the OH keeper on a corner kick to leave with the 2-1 win.

Photos from the varsity game are posted HERE.

There's three more home games left in the regular season, on Oct 13th vs Mountlake Terrace, Oct 22 vs Shorewood and Oct 28th vs Everett.

They also have 3 games on the road - 10/15 at Shorecrest, 10/20 at Glacier Peak and 10/26 at Lynnwood.

Going to Shorecrest on 9/23, the girls came away winless, falling to the host 25-20, 25-23, 25-18.  They came back 6 days later to sweep Meadowdale 25-13, 25-15, 25-22 in Lynnwood.

Two days later it was another win for Oak Harbor as they slugged it out with visiting Glacier Peak before going home with a 25-23, 19-25, 23-25, 25-22, 15-10 victory.

This time with 5 days of rest, the team traveled to Stanwood and while they played some inspired volleyball at times, the could not get games put away and lost 3-0.  In the first game, Oak Harbor had game point at 24-20, but Stanwood came back to win 26-24.  In the second game, it was all Stanwood as the Spartans won 25-12.  In the 3rd game, the Wildcats again held game point, but fell 27-25.

The week ended at home on the 8th, with Pink Out night in support of breast cancer, against Edmonds-Woodway.  The first game was close, with E-W getting a 25-22 win.  The 'Cats settled down, played good, solid volleyball and won game 2 handily, 25-16.  The 3rd game went to the Warriers 25-13.  In the 4th game, Edmonds grabbed an early lead and extended it to 7 points, but the 'Cats went on an 11-3 run to knot the game at 18 before EW pulled away again.  The 'Cats got close again, 23-24, but lost the 4th game 23-25 and the match 4-1.

FB 2015-10-02 at Arlington

by David Svien

All good things must come to an end.

The Oak Harbor High School football squad hadn't lost to anyone in conference play other than perennial power Marysville-Pilchuck since 2011 entering Friday's game at Arlington.

Now, that streak is done.

Surrendering 35 unanswered points on a rain-drenched night, the Wildcats blew a 21-3 lead and fell 38-21 on the road, dropping their record to 2-2 overall, 1-1 in Wesco North play.

Arlington and MP sit atop the standings at 2-0.

The Eagles blasted Oak Harbor with a potent passing attack, which surprisingly got more effective the more it rained, which is generally the opposite of how that works.

Arlington gunslinger Andrew Kalahar overcome a slow start, in which he completed three of 10 passes, to get red-hot. He finished on a 25-for-32 run from the second quarter on, running up nearly 400 yards of offense on his way to tossing for five touchdowns.

It was a radical turn for a game that started firmly in Oak Harbor's favor.

The 'Cats opened the scoring by driving 81 yards on their first possession, with Tyler Snavely hitting Dyllan Harris with a 12-yard bomb to cap things.

After another strong scoring drive of 68 yards, Oak Harbor seemed to bust the game open when Princeton Lollar blasted in on a short touchdown run to make it 21-3.

His score was set up by a 42-yard run from Savion Passmore, who brought the ball down to the three-yard line before Arlington tacklers rode him down.

But, just as hopes of ruining Arlington's Homecoming were catching fire, Kalahar emerged to save the day for the hosts.

He responded to Lollar's score with a 71-yard scoring strike of his own on the very next play, then kept on flingin'.

Oak Harbor's own offense suddenly sputtered out, turning over the ball on downs every time it had possession in the second half, and mustering little of a comeback.

Passmore provided a brief spark near the end, returning a fumble 51 yards to the Arlington five-yard line.

Unfortunately, the Wildcats promptly went four-and-out from there to cap their second half frustrations.

Lollar led the running game, racking up 136 yards on 22 carries, while Passmore added 65 yards and Harris gutted out 64.

The Wildcats return to action Friday, Oct. 9 when they host Marysville Getchell (0-2, 1-4).
