BBB 2016-01-08 vs Stanwood

by David Svien

They probably should have called it after one quarter.

The only thing which saved the Oak Harbor High School boys' basketball squad Friday was the running clock -- which was already in use before halftime.

Surrendering an astonishing 34 first-quarter points, and then another 28 over the next eight minutes, the Wildcats went to the locker room trailing visiting Stanwood 62-13.

Things were marginally better in the second half, but, with time flying by, Oak Harbor had little chance to cut away at the lead, eventually falling 82-37.

The conference loss dropped the 'Cats to 1-9, but just 0-1 in North Wesco play.

Stanwood hit from everywhere in the first quarter, dropping in 14 field goals, including a pair of treys, and four free-throws.

Dyllan Harris paced Oak Harbor with 10, while Adam Nelson banked home seven and Josh Cote popped for six.

Savion Hollins-Passmore (5), Darnell Dizon (5), Taeson Hardin (2), Diangelo McKinney (1) and Ozell Jackson (1) rounded out the scorers.

JV falls at end:

Down by just one entering the fourth, the Wildcat JV was outscored 19-9 over the final eight minutes and fell 55-44.

After falling behind 18-12 after one, Oak Harbor played Stanwood even in the second, then won the third 13-8 to set up what it had hoped would be a photo finish.

TJ Hollins-Passmore went for 13 to lead the 'Cats, while Gabe Salinger backed him up with nine.

Jordan Bell (8), Marcus Carr (5), Justin Ellison (4), Haven Brown (2), Weston Whitefoot (2) and Joseph Arinaza (1) also got their names in the score book.

C-Team nipped:

It started as a rout, turned into a battle, and ended as a heart-breaker.

The Wildcat freshman roared out to a 14-5 lead after one, but couldn't keep it up, eventually losing 60-58.

Stanwood chipped away all night, getting back five in the second quarter, three more in the third, than icing the game with a 19-16 fourth-quarter advantage.

Austin Boesch and Dorian Hardin each hit for nine to lead Oak Harbor, while three players -- Kevin Schuldt, Ben Knoll and Trevor Mondor -- scored seven apiece.

Kanoa King and Terrell Crumpton each swished six, Ashton Prates rolled to three and Evan Nadeau and Andrew Baloy both added a bucket to top things off.
