Five of the six Oak Harbor teams played this past Saturday, four of them at home.

In the single away game, the Jaguars traveled to Arlington Gold and put on an offensive show, winning 42-20.

At home, the day started with the midget Cougars vs Mt. Vernon Black. This was a back-and-forth game early with neither team able to advance the ball. Finally, MV was able to break their runner free on a 4th and 23 play for a 30-yard score with 8:06 left in the 2nd quarter. The Bulldogs scored again with 3:18 left to take a 13-0 lead. Oak Harbor closed the score on the first play after the kickoff on a 53-yard TD run. The Cougars though they had a 63-yard TD run with about a minute to play but it was called back due to a block in the back. The half ended with MV leading 13-7. MV got the final score of the game with 1:40 remaining in the 3rd quarter on a 43-yard run. Final score MV 19, Cougars 7.

The 11:00 game was the senior Wildcat team vs Arlington Blue. Although the score shows a blowout, the game was anything but. The game was decided on just a few key plays by the Wildcats on both offense and defense. Two promising Arlington drives, including one late in the game, were stopped by timely OH interceptions. The first Wildcat score was on a 61-yard run at the 8:45 mark in the first quarter making it 8-0. The 'Cats scored again on a nice drive, leaving just 3:43 on the clock until halftime, now leading 16-0. The final OH score was with just 3:21 left in the game. The kick was also good, making the final score 24-0.

Stanwood scored first with 8:46 left in the half and again with 5:49 left in the game. The final score was 14-0 in favor of Stanwood
