Girls AAU basketball 02-15-2010 @ Stanwood

The 5/6th grade AAU team was in Stanwood over the President's Day weekend for a tournament and came away with 4th place.

The girls lost the first game to host Stanwood 32-22 on Saturday but came back on Sunday to defeat Lakewood 22-17.

In the 3rd place game on Monday, the girls struggled against a tight Bothell defense, scoring only 19 points. That wasn't enough to overcome the very active Bothell team which put the Cats in 4th place.

Boys AAU Basketball 2010-02-13

The 4 boys AAU teams each played 2 games at OHHS this past Saturday against Everett and Cascade, with some pleasant surprises along the way.

In the dome, the 5th grade team won their game against Everett. The reported score was 28-24 but 30-17 was in the scorebook. It was the first win of the year for the 5th grade boys. They could not keep up the winning and fell to Cascade in the 2nd game 20-39.

5th grade photos are HERE.

Also in the dome, the 6th grade boys won their first game of the season, beating Everett 27-24. Everett dominated through most of the game and was leading 22-16 starting the final period, but the OH boys came alive with 11 points while the defense held Everett to just 2 points. In the second game, Cascade won 49-16 (scorebook) or 57-27 (reported). Take your pick.

The 7th grade team has played decent basketball, but often can't seem to get those few extra points for the win. In their first game they beat Everett 52-38 for their 2nd win of the year. Z. Jones was the leading scorer with 23. D. Sellgren put in 10, J. Sturdevant 8, B. Coleman 6 and G. Eccleston 5. In game two, the boys played a tight, consistent game but wound up on the short side of a 61-60 score. Jones again led the team, this time with 24 and Sturdevant was also in double figures with 14. H. Adams finished with 8, Eccleston 7 and T. Bobo 2.

In 8th grade game against Everett, the team was missing 3 starters due to a band commitment, but the rest of the team rallied and played some good basketball. At the end of the first OH was leading 10-7 and still held a 18-17 lead at the half. The 3rd period was not kind to the boys as they scored only 6 points while allowing 7. They couldn't dig themselves out of the 11-point hole and fell to the Seagulls 47-35. McKenzie led the scoring with 22 points, Gray hit for 5, Galio 4, Zafra and Mattila 2 each. Things didn't get much better in the 2nd game as after ending the 1st period in a 12-12 tie, Cascade went on a 22-8 run to open a 34-20 halftime lead. OH made up 3 of the points in the 3rd, but again the Cascade offense went wild, hitting for 24 points in the final period and winning 69-46. In this game, Drew Washington scored 15, Gibbs and Mackenzie 9 each, Rennes 8, Mattila 4 and Wiedrich 2.

Youth Basketball 2-13-2010 at OHMS

There was a gym full of kids ranging from Kindergarten through 5th grade at Oak Harbor Middle School on Saturday as the OH rec league had another day of basketball action.

It's not the best basketball ever played, but the kids are learning the fundamentals of the game along with sportsmanship and teamwork.

Photos of a team called the 'Cougars' are posted HERE. More photos will be posted after next Saturday's games (2/20)

Wrestling - Regional Tournaments

Oak Harbor sent a total of 6 wrestlers to two regional tournaments over the weekend.

Sophomore Jennifer Fremd went to the girls tournament at Sedro-Woolley and finished in 4th place, good enough for a trip to Tacoma for next week's State Tournament.

In Auburn, Oak Harbor was represented by sophomore Corey Trimbur (103 lbs), senior Colton Elliot (140 lbs), soph Brandon Stratton (145 lbs) and senior Zach Loescher (171 lbs). Sophomore Justin Everett went as an alternate but did not wrestle.

All 4 guy wrestlers lost one match on the first day. Stratton and Loescher each lost two matches and were eliminated Friday night.

On Saturday, Trimbur faced Sonny Bates-Mundell of Snohomish, a wrestler he had trouble with at the District Tournament and wound up on the short end of a 10-3 score and was eliminated.

Elliot started Saturday with a pin, then faced a WESCO North opponent in Brian Donaldson of Marysville, the WESCO champion who beat Colton 6-2 in the tournament. It was a tough match, but Colton lost by the closest of margins, 1-0. Now in the 5th/6th match, with the winner going to state and the loser going home, Colton dug deep and pinned Strickland of Kamiak in 4:18.

So, next week make sure to cheer for Colton and Jennifer as they go to Tacoma for the 2010 Mat Classic.

Girls Basketball 2010-02-12 @ Shorewood

For the 2 time in 3 days the OH girls played uninspired basketball. At Shorewood for a one-game, winner-to-district-tournament game, the Wildcat girls let Shorewood run all over them for a 51-43 lead. Shorewood finished in 8th place in WESCO South with a 6-14 record, but due to the large number of 3A schools in the south, Shorewood was the #4 team in 4A.

The Wildcats should have run the Thunderbirds over and left them wondering what hit them.

Instead, Shorewood led 6-0 before OH could score a single point, and it wasn't until the 3:21 mark that OH scored a field goal. The 2nd quarter was similar with Mowbray hitting a field goal with 4:10 left in the half for the Wildcats' first score of the quarter. At halftime Shorewood led 23-18. Oak Harbor finally got some offense going when Nikki Mowbray got hot and the 'Cats started to close the gap. Late in the 4th the Wildcats tied the game at 42 but Shorewood finished the game with a 9-1 run for the win, ending the Wildcat season.

Mowbray finished the game with 24 points, and Jessica Denmon added 14. Clarissa Abadesco scored 4 to complete the Oak Harbor scoring.

Girls Basketball 2010-02-10 vs Monroe

The Wildcats honored their 5 departing seniors in a short ceremony before Wednesday night's game. Moving on at the end of the year are Molly DeLeon, Jessica Denmon, Jessica James, Nicole Mowbray and Shantae Young. All 5 started their final game, even injured Molly. She was on the court for the tip, but the clock was stopped immediately so she could be replaced.

Before all this, the Freshman team was in the dome having their way with the visiting Monroe Bearcats, at least in the 2nd half. The two team were tied at 14 at the end of the first, and Monroe scored two more than OH in the second to lead 29-27 at halftime. The Wildcats found their defense in the 2nd half, holding the Bearcats to just 6 points in the 3rd. Then, in the final quarter of the 2009-2010 season, the freshman offense got hot. Led by Ciera Wiser's 14 points, the team scored 23 points on their way to a 62-49 win. Wiser finished the game with 29 points, Jalani Bobo 16, Morgan Young 8, Marissa Lewis 6 and Joem Evangelista 3.

The JV team picked up a rare win, beating the visitors 46-40. It's wasn't an easy win as even though the Wildcats led 8-2 halfway through the first, Monroe dug in to take a 10-8 lead at the first horn. OH fought back behind 6 points by Tatiana Cumming to take a 21-20 lead into the locker room at the half. They got started just 7 seconds into the period with a nice pass from Naomi Walker to Kelsey Rankin for an easy layin. OH then got the lead with just 37 seconds left when Walker passed the ball from halfcourt to Cumming for the score. In the 3rd, Nikita Ford had the hot hand, scoring 8 points and increasing the OH lead to 10 points. Not willing to go away easily, Monroe stayed in the game but could only close the gap to 6 points as time expired. Cumming and Rankin both put up 12 points, Ford finished with 8, Walker 5, DJ 4, Kaileen Burleson 3 and Kate Rossman 2.

The varsity game was hard to watch. After a decent first period the girls had problems on both offense and defense. The combined OH offensive output in the 2nd and 3rd quarters was just 14 points while the defense allowed Monroe to score 32 points. In the end, Monroe just had too much for the Wildcats and won 53-36. Jessica Denmon was the OH scoring leader with just 14 points. Nikki Mowbray had 7, Clarissa Abadesco 6, Yoshi 4, Jessica James and Addy Royal 2 each and Shantae Young 1.

The game ended the regular season for the Wildcats and they finished 5th in the WESCO north, forcing a pigtail playoff game at Shorewood, the WESCO South #4, on Friday the 12th.

Boys Basketball 2010-02-09 @ Marysville

On Tuesday, Feb 9th, the OH boys traveled to Marysville and won one of the 3 games played.

The Freshman team played at Cedarcrest Middle School and had some problems in the first half. They spotted MP a 19-8 lead in the first quarter and scored only 4 more in the 2nd to trail 29-10 at halftime. OH owned the 3rd period, outscoring the Tommies 14-8 to cut the score to 37-26. Halfway through the final period the Wildcats had cut the lead to just 8 but it ended there as MP poured it on late to win 54-36. No individual scoring is available as OH did not keep a scorebook for the game.

In the main gym, the JV team working hard to overcome a poor first period. MP led 14-6 in the first and 29-20 at the half. The two teams played almost even in the 3rd which ended with MP leading 46-36. OH started to crawl back in the 4th but ran out of time as Marysville won 57-53. Corey Houck led the JV scoring with 13 points, Matt Burgoyne added 12 and David Tillotson 11. Kevawn Brooks got 9, Paul Johannsen 4 and Patrick Bell & Dayne Herron scored a pair each.

Oak Harbor won the first period of the varsity game 11-9 but lost the second 14-8 as MP led 23-19 at halftime.

Mike Washington, Jr. finished with 22 pints, Jay Stout 11, Rashaad Smith 8, Denzel Hardin 7, Trace Paul 4, and Ryan Fakkema & Stevie Bratt sank one free throw each.

GBB 2-8-2010 vs Marysville

League-leading Marysville came to Oak Harbor Monday night and showed why they are the top team, beating the Wildcats 53-36 in varsity action. It was MP's only win of the night as both the Freshman and JV squads got wins.

The freshman game was back and for in the first half. Morgan Young and Ciera Wiser scored 5 each in the opening period which ended in a 14-14 tie. Jalani Bobo put in 8 of her 16 points in the 2nd but the Wildcats were down 29-27 at halftime. The Wildcat defense got tough in the 3rd, allowing just 6 points and letting OH take a 39-35 lead. MP recovered in the 4th to score 14 points, but that was matched by a single OH player - Ciera Wiser - as OH went on to win 62-49. Wiser finished with an impressive 29 points and Bobo 16. Morgan Young had 8, Marissa Lewis 6 and Joem Evangelista 3.

JV was also close in the first half. OH jumped to an early 8-2 lead but MP came back to tie and then took a 2-point lead at the end of the first period. OH tied it back up 10 seconds into the 2nd period with a nice pass from Naomi Walker to Kelsey Rankin for the layin. Another nice play ended the half. OH got the rebound from a MP shot, Walker brought the ball to midcourt, say Tatiana Cumming open in the paint and got it to her for an easy 2 points, giving OH a 21-19 halftime lead. OH stretched the lead to 10 points at the end of the 3rd as Nikita Ford, playing with a sprained wrist, scored 8 points on the way to a 38-28 lead. The Tomahawks closed the gap in the 4th, getting to within 6 at one point, but OH was able to play keep-away basketball for the last 1:30 of the game and won 46-40. Kelsey Rankin and Tatiana Cumming both finished with 12 points, Nikita Ford 8, Naomi Walker 5, DJ 4, Kaileen Burleson 3 and Kate Rossman 2.

Except for the first period, the varsity game was all Marysville. The Wildcats played good defense and got points from Nikki Mowbray, Jessica James and Clarissa Abadesco and was down by just one point, 12-11 at the end of the first. For the rest of the game, OH had problems on offense. The MP defense held scoring leader Jessica Denmon in check, and when the Wildcats did get shots off they just weren't going in. MP finished the game with nine 3 - pointers and beat the 'Cats 53-36. Denmon scored 9 points in the 4th period to finish with 14. Mowbray had 7, Abadesco 6, Yoshi 4, Addy Royal and Jessica James 2 each and Shantae Young 1.

The girls finished the regular season tonight, Wednesday, with senior night, hosting 2nd place Monroe in the OHHS gym.

Boys Basketball 2-5-2010 vs Stanwood

For their final home game of the 2009-2010 season the Wildcats hosted the 2nd place Stanwood Spartans.

The freshman team had a decent first quarter, holding Stanwood to 7 points while scoring 6, but the 2nd quarter was all Spartans as they scored 12 and held OH to just 2 points. Stanwood continued strong in the 2nd half, scoring in double digits each period while holding the Wildcats to singles. When the dust settled it was Stanwood 44, OH 20. On the plus side, OH was able to get 9 players to get the ball in the hoop, but only London Cook was able to get it in more than once, as he scored 6 to lead the team. Scoring 2 points each were Anthony Stewart, Chris Hailer, Isaiah Trower, Anfernee Angkaw, Michael LaBelle and Kiefer Hermann. Jackson Knoll and Trenton Cargill scored 1 each.

There were a couple of faces missing on the JV team. Connor Paul was out sick and his brother Trace is now full-time varsity, so Coach Ronning had only 7 players available. At the end of the first period the OH JV team was down 9-7 but outscored Stanwood 12-4 in the second to lead 19-13 at halftime. The Wildcats built on that lead, extending it to 10 points, 37-27 at the end of the 3rd. That's when things got ugly. Stanwood scored 24 points in the 4th period alone, 12 off of free throws, to win 51-48. Patrick Bell came off the bench to lead the team in scoring with 11 points and David Tillotson added 10 more. Kevawn Brooks had 8 and Corey Houck 7 while Matt Burgoyne, Paul Johannsen and Dayne Herron scored 4 each .

Stanwood showed why they are one of WESCO's top teams. They took an early 20-15 lead in the first and 32-23 at the half. The Wildcats just didn't have an answer for Stanwood's outside game as the Spartans hit six 3-point attempts in the 2nd half and won going away, 75-54. Colby Anter, helped by a strong first quarter, led the team with 16 points. Mike Washington, Jr. scored 13 and Denzel Hardin 11. Rashaad Smith had 8 and Jay Stout and Ryan Fakkema scored 3 each.

The Wildcats finish the year with a trip to Marysville and end the year with a visit to Monroe. Oak Harbor beat the Bearcats by 20 points in their first meeting this year.

Girls Basketball 2-3-2010 vs Arlington

The Varsity girls basketball team took another step towards a playoff spot by beating Arlington 67-53 at OHHS Wednesday night. Unfortunately, it was the only win of the night.

The first period of the Freshman game ended with a very low 4-2 score in favor of the Eagles. Both teams warmed up in the 2nd as the Wildcats scored 13 points (10 by Jalani Bobo) to lead 15-13 at the half. It was rough for the Wildcats in the 2nd half as Arlington scored 15 to Oak Harbor's 7, and by the final buzzer Arlington built a 45-31 lead. Bobo finished on top of the Wildcats with 18 points, Morgan Young and Ciera Wiser had 4 each, Emily Saar and Joem Evangelista 2 each and Danielle Teasley 1.

In the main gym, although they lost, the JV squad had one of their better games of the year. OH scored 5 points in the first period, but hit for 12 in the 2nd and 3rd periods to keep the game withing reach. The 4th period started with the 'Cats down 39-29, and OH held Arlington just a single free throw in the 4th period. However, Arlington held OH to the same, so the final was 40-30 in favor of Arlington. 7 Wildcats put points on the board, led by DJ Jackson with 7. Erika Flores added 6 more, Lia Pantoleon 5, Nikita Ford 4, Tatiana Cumming and Kate Rossman 3 and Kaileen Burleson 2.

Arlington battled in the first half of the varsity game. The first quarter ended with OH down 13-12 and with 3 minutes left in the half OH led by just one point, 24-23. In those last 3 minutes Oak Harbor netted 9 more points while allowing 3 to take a 33-26 lead into the locker room. In the 3rd period, Jessica Denmon scored 11 of her 31 points as the Wildcats built a 51-36 lead. Arlington was never out of it, but the 'Cats were able to keep a lead of at least 8 points. One of the differences in the game was free throws. OH sank 20 of 31 attempts while the Eagles only 6 of 13. That difference of 14 points was the OH margin of victory 67-53. In addition to Denmon's 31 points, Nicole Mowbray and Janelle Yoshimoto were also in double figures. Nikki scored 17 and Yoshi 11. Also scoring were Clarissa Abadesco with 6 and Shantae Young with 2.

Boys Basketball 2-2-2010 at Arlington

The three boys basketball teams did not fare well in Arlington Tuesday night, but for the first time this year the Oak Harbor Sports Report was able to get some video highlight clips from the freshman game. There have also been some changes on the floor. Dayne Herron was moved from the freshman team to JV, and Matt Burgoyne is now floating to varsity and got some playing time in the 2nd quarter.

In that Frosh game, Arlington dominated OH, holding the team to just 10 points in the first half. The Wildcats came out and nearly doubled their score in the 3rd period, but Arlington was just too much and won 67-26. Kiefer Hermann led the team with 9 point and Chris Hailer added 5. Isaiah Trower, London Cook, Trenton Cargill, Anfernee Angkaw, Michael LaBelle and Noel Cheeseboro scored 2 point each.

Problems scoring was the downfall of the JV team as they found themselves down 13-6 in the first. Things didn't improve much as JV lost 55-32. Burgoyne was on top with 9 point, Kevawn Brook 7, David Tillotson 5, Herron 4, Patrick Bell 3, Connor Paul 2 and Corey Houck 1.

Oak Harbor scored with 6 different players in the 1st period while building a 15-10 lead, but only 3 scored in the 2nd as Arlington took a 24-22 lead into halftime. In the 2nd half the offense got points on the board, but had problems stopping Arlington. A couple of scores from nearly halfcourt and speeding past the Wildcat defense let the Eagles increase their lead to 43-34 at the end of the 3rd. OH was able to close to within 5 in the final period, but Arlington held on to win 61-48. One major positive from the game was the shooting from the free throw line. As a team the Wildcats sank 16 of 18 attempts, with Trace Paul and Jay Stout hitting 100% and Mike Washington, Jr, going 7-of-8.

Next for the Wildcat boys is Senior Night on Friday against Stanwood.

Here is a video clip from the games. Included is Freshman, JV and Varsity action.

Boys Swimming 1/29 vs Kamiak and MP at Kamiak

The swimmers saved their toughest meet of the end of the season, traveling to powerful Marysville to face the Tomahawks and even stronger Kamiak Knights in a tri-meet. After sweeping most opponents all season long, the Wildcats were able to place first in only one event - Price Hu in the 100 yard butterfly. OH finished 2nd in the 500 yard freestyle (Josh Jepson) and 100 yard backstroke (Jacob Jepsen). Kamiak out-pointed OH 131-52 and was a much closer 112-71 vs Marysville. Both Kamiak and Marysville finished the league season undefeated while OH has only the one blemish on their league record.
