Youth Football - 2015-08-22

The first week is in the books, and overall, OH teams did well.

Both Junior teams were on the road, with the Purple squad falling to Granite Falls 14-6 at 11am.

The Gold squad went to Sedro Woolley, and battled not only the Blue team, but also smoke from the fires when the wind shifted halfway through the game.  In the end, OH was victorious, winning 38-6.

At home, the day started with the Gold PeeWee team demolishing South Whidbey 35-6.

Next up was the Senior squad, facing off against a select Bellingham team, and although there were flashes of greatness, the Wildcats fell 39-12.

The 1pm game was the Purple PeeWees vs Sedro Blue.  This game was close throughout, and a strong defensive stand near the end of the game preserved a 20-15 win.

At 3pm the Midget Purple team played Sedro White, and the Wildcats just could not get anything going.  The game was delayed for about a half-hour, as a Wildcat was injured on a kickoff, was complaining of neck pain, and an ambulance was called.  He got a round of applause as he was loaded into the ambulance and waved to his teammates.  Reports say he'll be fine, medical was called as a precaution.  By the time the game ended at nearly 5:45, Sedro had a commanding 41-18 lead.

For the nightcap it was the Gold Midgets vs Sedro Blue, with the Wildcats winning convincingly, 37-13.

Photos from the game are posted HERE.

There are not a lot of photos from this week, as most of the time was spent up in the lift.  Next week will be an all-photo week at the home games.
