OHYFL - Saturday playoffs

Last Saturday, October 25th, the Oak Harbor Youth Football League started playoffs. Two games were played in Oak Harbor, and the Oak Harbor Sports Report was there.

First up: the Cougars. They came into the playoffs as the Midget "B" division #2 seed with a 6-1 record, their only loss was 14-0 vs #1 seed Sedro-Woolley. The Cougar's opponent was #3 seed Anacortes with a 5-2 record, losing 16-0 to Sedro and 32-22 to the Cougars in the first two games of the year.

Oak Harbor shut out two of their opponents and held two more to just a single score, but Anacortes scored more points against the Cougars than any other team in the regular season. Anacortes also recorded a pair of shutouts and held one more opponent to one TD. Things looked good for the Cougars, but once the game got started, it got bad quickly. Anacortes was able to move the ball, while the Cougars offense never got on track. If it wasn't a missed handoff it was a turnover. It just wasn't the Cougar's day, and in the end, Anacortes left with a 20-0 victory. Only 14 decent photos from this game, which are posted HERE.

In contrast, the Oak Harbor Lynx entered as the #1 seed from Pee Wee "A". They had the same record as #2 Sedro Woolley, but got the #1 on the head-to-head Lynx win in the first game of the season. The Lynx's only loss was to #3 Burlington 27-12. The Lynx recorded only a single shutout, against Sedro-Wooley, but in 6 wins outscored the opponents 178-42. The opponent, Arlington, entered the playoffs with a 4-3 record. The Eagles lost their first game of the season 38-14 to the Lynx, and were shutout by both Sedro Woolley and Burlington. In their 4 wins, the Eagle allowed only a single TD while scoring 81 points. This game was all Lynx. The Lynx scored 3 touchdowns in just the 1st quarter - one by run, one by pass, and one by punt return. They added another TD each in the other 3 quarters but only converted 1 PAT attempt to secure a 37-0 win. 50 images are posted HERE.

While we don't have specific results, it was reported that the Senior Wildcats team, the #6 seed, lost to #3 Burlington in Burlington.
