GBB 2013-12-16 vs Mt. Baker

Friday evening the Oak Harbor girls basketball team was at OHHS for their home opener, against Mt. Baker HS from near Bellingham.  There was only a JV and Varsity game as Mt. Baker does not field a "C" team.

The Wildcat JV team was perfect on defense in the first quarter, holding the visitors scoreless while the offense put up 8 points, and by halftime Mt. Baker had scored only 3 points.

Mt. Baker improved their offense in the 3rd quarter, but so did the 'Cats, nearly doubling their first half score in the 3rd.  Mt. Baker outscored Oak Harbor 14-11 in the final period, but the final score was 39-25 for the Wildcats.  Bryn Langrock and Kiesha Watts led the team with 9 apiece.  Rahsanna Graham (RG) moved up from the freshman team to score 7 and Julie Jansen finished with 3.  Scoring 2 point each were Janae Payne (JP), Michaela Dasch, Hannah Knoll and Lydia Peplinski.  Jaden Jesus from the freshman squad scored 1 point.

At the end of the first quarter of the varsity game, Oak Harbor held a 15-12 lead, but Mt. Baker dropped in 21 points in the 2nd quarter to take a 33-32 lead at halftime.  Oak Harbor stayed close in the 3rd, which ended with OH trailing 54-47, but a 4-point offensive output by the Wildcats in the 4th quarter let Mt. Baker escape with a 65-51 win.  Joanna Leete finished the game with 18 points, and Jinai Guzman was close behind with 14 points.  Natalie Fiallos scored 7, Liz Lym 6, Hayley Lundstrom 4 and Brook Peplinski 2.

The girls are at home this coming Friday for a game against Stanwood, then travel to Everett on the 18th.
