A week off didn't cool Dyllan Harris down.
Coming off a bye week, the Oak Harbor High School senior ran wild for 191 yards and two long touchdowns to spark the Wildcats to a 55-7 thrashing of visiting Everett Friday night.
The win lifted the 'Cat football squad to 2-1 overall, 1-0 in league play.
Harris, who had been an All-League receiver for Oak Harbor, moved into a running back slot when four different 'Cat backs went down in the season opener. The transition has been seamless.
Taking advantage of a Seagull defense that couldn't contain, or control him, Harris rambled for scores on runs of 62 and 66 yards.
And he wasn't the only Wildcat back breaking backs.
Bouncing back from an injury, Princeton Lollar rolled up 87 yards of his own, crashing into the end zone on runs of 32 and two yards, while Savion Passmore tacked on 61 yards.
Everett came into the game with a 3-0 mark in non-conference games and pinned Oak Harbor at its own three-yard line to kick things off.
The rest of the night was not so great for the visitors.
Oak Harbor shrugged off the bad field position and drove 97 yards in five plays to open the scoring and built a 34-0 bulge by the half.
Everett finally got on the board with a late fourth-quarter touchdown, but was trailing 48-0 at the time, so it probably didn't mean much in the grand scheme of things.
In addition to Harris and Lollar, Oak Harbor got touchdown runs from Tyler Snavely, Passmore, Andrew Miller and Thomas Gilham.
Eric Jensen converted on seven of eight PATs.
Oak
Harbor will return to action next Friday, Oct. 2, when they travel to
Arlington, which bopped Marysville Getchell 34-7 in its Wesco North
opener.
