Win. Move on. Win. Move on.
It's worked so far for the Oak Harbor
High School girls' basketball team, which has kept its season alive
with back-to-back victories over Everett.
After bouncing the
Seagulls 39-38 in the regular season finale Tuesday, the Wildcats
returned to their home court less than 24 hours later and drilled
Everett again Wednesday, this time 43-33.
The victories lifted
the 'Cats to 8-13, gave them the #4 seed out of the Wesco North, and
sends them to Edmonds-Woodway Thursday.
Win there and they're off to the district tourney. Lose and the road finally runs out.
Fighting to stay alive but a bit tired Wednesday, both teams came out slowly on the offensive end.
With Bryn Langrock and Julie Jansen dropping in three-balls, Oak Harbor clung to a narrow 6-4 lead after one quarter of play.
Then
the 'Cats made their move, riding a big second-quarter performance from
Janae Payne, who dropped in seven of her game-high 11 right before
halftime.
Spurred by her play Oak Harbor used a 16-7 run to stake itsself to an 11-point bulge at the half, then coasted home for the win.
The
Wildcats used five treys to offset a slow night at the free throw line,
where they netted just four of seven shots. Everett had more chances,
but had little touch, going 7-17.
Langrock banked home 10 to back
up Payne, while Jansen dropped nine, Deja Bunch hit for six, Rashanna
Graham knocked down four and AnnaBelle Whitefoot tickled the twines for
three.
