Youth Football 2013-11-02 vs Bellingham Red - playoff

The Senior division semifinal game played Saturday morning at Mt. Vernon was a rematch of a game played just a few weeks earlier.  The Wildcats won that game coming from behind, 33-32.

The 11am game started with a high wind and stinging rain, ruling out much of a passing game.

Things looked good for the Wildcats as they scored with 2:35 left in the 1st quarter, then the offense bogged down with a number of untimely fumbles.  The Wildcats were able to score again with 8:03 left in the half, but missed both PAT kicks to make it 12-0.

Bellingham scored with 1:56 left in the half and made the PAT, but OH still led at the break 12-8.

There was no scoring in the 3rd quarter, then with 4:08 left in the game Bellingham got a touchdown and kicked for a 2-point conversion to take an 18-12 lead.

Not a team to give up, Oak Harbor regained the lead with 3:38 left on a long run and were able to hold on to win 18-16.

As of now, the Wildcats will play for the North Cascade Youth Football League senior division Championship next Saturday at 3pm at Mt. Vernon, taking on either Sedro-Woolley or Ferndale.
