FB 2011-10-19 Freshmen vs Shorecrest

It was another thumping Wednesday night at OHHS at the Freshman football team beat Shorecrest 50-0.

The Oak Harbor domination was so complete, that the Shorecrest highlight was a punt. They punted from their own 39, the ball hit the ground at the OH 40 and bounced and rolled all the way to the OH 8 yard line.

The start of the game was fairly slow, as OH led 8-0 at the first break. The score came on a 12-yard run with 7:25 left and OH went with a 2-point conversion to make it 8-0.

In the second quarter Oak Harbor unleashed the offense, scoring 4 times in just over 5 minutes. The first second quarter scored was a 26-yard run with 6:25 remaining, then after a Shorecrest 3 and out Oak Harbor ran the first scrimmage play 46 yards to make it 22-0 with 4:15 left.

After an interception at teh OH 46, the offense was on the field again and this time needed two plays, ending with a 34-yard run to make it 29-0 with 2:23 left.

The final score of the first half came after Shorecrest failed to convert a 4th down attempt at their own 43. The Wildcats ran just one play and scored from 43 yards out with 1 minute on the clock. The halftime score was 36-0.

Oak Harbor received the opening kickoff to start the second half, and had their only sustained drive of the game. They started on their own 20 yard line and needed 12 plays to march 80 yards in 5:35, ending with a 22-yard run into the end zone. The score was now 42-0 for Oak Harbor and started a running clock for the remainder of the game.

After the highlighted Shorecrest punt, made longer by an Oak Harbor penalty, the Wildcats started with the ball on their own 4 yard line and 1:00 left in the 3rd quarter. Nine plays later with 4:45 left in the game the Wildcats scored once more from 7 yards out to make it 50-0.

Shorecrest was content to let the clock run out, giving OH a 50-0 win.

There is no Marysville-Getchell freshman football team for the Wildcat freshmen to play next week, so they invited the Arlington Eagles to Wildcat Memorial Stadium for a special Tuesday afternoon game. The contest starts at 5:30pm and admission is free. The concession stand will be open, serving hot chocolate, coffee, and Wildcat dogs. It will be the final freshman game of the year.
