In a mostly empty gym Thursday evening, the Oak Harbor girls basketball team played against the Mountlake Terrace Hawks.
Both Wildcat teams were short of players due to a number of reasons. On the JV team, three girls were called up from the "C" squad to make an 8-girl team. The JV girls had little luck on offense and lost 48-12. Leading the JV team was Danielle Teasley with 6 points. Brook Peplinski, Irene Gribble and Natalie Fiallos scored 2 each.
The varsity squad was short 3 starters but at least had a full bench. Starting the game were Tatiana Cumming, Rayan Russell, Morgan Young, Kelsey Rankin and Annie Lette.
In the first quarter the 'Cats stayed with the Hawks, ending down just 2 points, 9-11. In the second quarter, however, Oak Harbor could only muster 5 points, all on free throws and fell behind 31-14. The Oak Harbor defense stepped up after a halftime chat with the coach, holding the Hawks to just 5 points, but the offense again put up only 5 of their own. Both teams scored 12 in the final period as MLT won 48-31. Leading the Wildcats were Kelsey Ranking and Annie Leete, each with 10 points. Rayan Russell put up 7 points and Natalie Fiallos and Morgan Young had 2 points each.
The Wildcats host their annual Santa Slam tournament on the 29th and 30th of December. Pullman, Lewiston, ID and Bear Creek HS from Redmond are sending varsity teams. Anacortes is the only JV team attending this year, and in the dome, it will be OH Anacortes, South Whidbey and Lynnwood with "C" teams.
Anacortes and Lynnwood play at 2:20 in the dome while the OH and Anacortes JV squads go at it at the same time in the main gym. The OH varsity plays at 4pm in the main gym against Pullman.
On the 30th, the OH and Anacortes JV teams play again, starting at 9am and at the same time the two losers of the "C" games play each other. The two "C" winners play at 10:20am.
