FB 2015-10-24 Varsity at Pilchuck

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.
