Middle School Cross Country 2013-10-14 at City Beach

This year, the Wildcat United Cross Country team, made up of runners from both Oak Harbor and North Whidbey Middle Schools, gets to host not just one, but two home meets, and both in the same week.

Monday was the first meet.  There are 4 races in total, one for each grade level and gender and each race was 1.6 miles.

Sierra Dubuque was the top Wildcat United runner in the 7th grade girls race last Monday.  She was 3rd overall with a time of 12:16 (the winning time was 12:08).  Zaira Alvarez was 7th overall in 13:00.  Also in the 7th grade race were Cami Bristow, Joanna Blaine, Caitlin O'Brien, Madison Rude, Shaeley Finch, Maggie Jappert, Katherine Medina, Gabby Harstad, Emily Petty and Jenna Flores,

Burlington won the 7th grade boys race in 10:09.  The top OH runner was Blake Servatius in 5th place and a time of 11:04.  Ben Knoll was just 5 seconds behind Blake in 6th place.  Also running were Caleb Hunter, Carl Davis, Juan Luna-Elliott, Jared Johnston, Devon Gilbert, Bogart Baca and Colin Foster

Olivia Flack was 2nd overall in the 8th grade girls race, finishing just one second behind the winner, and just ahead of, but with the same time as, Jillian Pape (11:04).  Megan Keating was a second behind the pair in 11:05.  After giving up 5th place to Burlington, Wildcat United grabbed 6th, 7th and 8th (Alora Callier, Taliah Black, Trinity Olvera).  In the race but not in the top 10 were Mary Catherine Middleton, Baelee Whitinger, Sam Hines, Maggie Fink, Mariah Dean, Brittany Eatchel, Stephanie Finch, Yesenia Keiser and Morgan Barber.

In the final race, Oak Harbor placed 5 in the top 10.  Gabe Salinger (3rd overall), Michael Lym (6th), Jake Hucko (6th), Andrew Eaton (7th), and Will Danielson (8th).  Also running were Noah Herrera, James Besaw, Cliff Hartley, Kurt Husler, Ethan Wilson, Charlie Pabona, Travis Wagner and Dean Martin.

The team runs again at City Beach on Thursday the 17th with the 7th grade girls heading out at 3:30pm.

FB 2013-10-11 Varsity vs Mt. Vernon

The Oak Harbor Wildcats looked to continue their winning ways last Friday night, hosting the 4A Mt. Vernon Bulldogs, who were coming off a big win over the Lake Stevens Vikings, the source of the Wildcats' lone loss this season.

The game started on a sour note as the Wildcats fumbled the ball deep in their own territory on the 3rd play of the game, but the defense held, forcing the Bulldogs to kick a field goal that missed.

On their second possession, Oak Harbor got their powerful offense in gear, moving 80 yards in 8 plays to score on a 26-yard Sheyenne Sams run at the 5:17 mark in the first quarter, and that score would stand until horn.

Dyllan Harris was the star of the second quarter, scoring on a 6-yard run and again on a 35-yard pass from QB Clay Doughty, pushing the score to 21-0.  Julan Faralan added another score with 1:47 left in the half to make it 28-0.

Opening the second half, Mt. Vernon scored in the first minute on a 13-yard run, but OH answered later in the quarter.  Facing a 4th and 2 near midfield, the Wildcat coaches made the decision to go for a first down rather than punt, and the play they called worked like a charm.  Sams broke loose and gained not just a first down, but a touchdown, slipping numerous tackles on the way.  5:06 to go in the 3rd OH 35, MV 7.

Mt. Vernon got one last score, midway through the 4th quarter, scoring on a 1-yard run, but the final score was Oak Harbor 35, Mt. Vernon 14.

VB 2013-10-10 vs Glacier Peak

Coming off a tough 3-1 loss at home to Mountlake Terrace on Tuesday, the Wildcat volleyball team pulled together and swept the visiting Glacier Peak Grizzlies 3-0 Thursday night.

OH jumped to an early 5-0 lead in the first game before GP closed the gap to 10-7, but there the 'Cats went on a 8-0 run to build an 18-7 lead and held on to win 25-13.

Game two saw the girls down 2-0 early, but tied the game at 4.  The two teams went back and forth for some time, neither team leading by more than one, until the score got to 10-10.  There Oak Harbor went on a 5-1 run to build a 15-11 lead, then another run to lead 20-12 before closing out game two 25-14.

Game 3 was a little closer, but not by much as Oak Harbor proved to be just too much for the visitors, winning the final game 25-16.

In the sub-varsity matches, GP won both the JV and Freshman matches 3-0.

The volleyball girls are on the road twice next week.  They travel to league-leading Meadowdale on Tuesday, and on Thursday hope to avenge an early-season 3-1 loss to Stanwood.

The following week the 'Cats 2-2(2-7 overall) close out their home season with matches on both Tuesday and Thursday.  Tuesday they host the 2-2(7-3 overall) Everett Seagulls, and on the final home match of the season host winless Marysville Getchell.

FB 2013-10-09 Freshmen vs Stanwood

A tale of two halves is the story from Wednesday's freshman football game at OHHS.

In the first half, the Wildcats could seeming do no wrong, forcing Stanwood to punt twice and forced a fumble, while scoring on runs of 1, 12 and 85 yard to lead 20-0 at the half.

What also happened during that half was the Wildcats losing not one, not two, but seven players for the rest of the game due to injuries.

As a result, even though Oak Harbor scored on a 2-yard run in the 3rd quarter, Stanwood scored on a 28-yard halfback pass, a 66-yard run, a 5-yard run and a 53-yard run.  More importantly, Stanwood made all four PAT attempts, while the Wildcats missed two. 

As a result, Stanwood wound up winning the game 28-26.

The freshman squad is at home again vs Mt. Vernon on Wednesday the 16th at 5:30pm.  Admission is free and the concession stand will be open.

FB 2013-10-04 vs Stanwood

Friday night the Wildcats hosted the Stanwood Spartans (2-2, 1-0 Wesco 3A North), fresh off a 35-7 drubbing of Marysville Getchell.

The game did not start out on a good note for the Wildcats, as Stanwood's first play from scrimmage went 59 yards to the OH 13 yard line, but Stanwood had to settle for a field goal.

Oak Harbor's first possession looked like it might also end in a field goal, but on 4th down, with the ball on the 2 yard line, the coaches called the play and Dejon Devroe ran it in to make it 7-3 for the 'Cats at the 7:24 mark in the first quarter.

Both teams punted on their next possession, and Stanwood gave the ball up on downs when a 4th down pass into the end zone fell incomplete.

At the 2nd quarter began, OH still led 7-3 and had the ball on the Stanwood 30, but a fumble gave the ball back to the Spartans.  Stanwood ran only 3 plays and punted again, a booming punt that went to the OH 8 yard line.  The first play was a 70-yard run by Sheyenne Sams, but a Wildcat penalty brought it back.  Oak Harbor regrouped and advanced to the Stanwood 28 when another fumble ended the drive. Oak Harbor got the ball back just two plays later, when Tyler Adamson recovered a fumble that was forced by Rhys Mattila.

That drive ended with Sams dancing in from 12 yards out to boost the score to 14-3 with 2:55 left in the half. 

Stanwood's next drive lasted 5 plays and ended with Mattila sacking the Stanwood QB on a 4th down play.

At the half, OH led 14-3.

OH received the opening kick in the 2nd half, but the drive stalled, then a high snap on the Wildcat punt attempt gave Stanwood the ball at the Oak Harbor 31.  The defense held, and a 33-yard field goal attempt went wide left.

Taking over at their own 20 yard line, the 'Cats needed only 1 play, an 80-yard run up the middle by Julian Faralan, to make it 21-3. 

Stanwood fumbled on their next drive, forced by Sams and recovered by Chris Humphries, but two plays later the Spartans got it back after a fumbled Wildcat handoff.  The Spartans were forced to punt and two plays later it was Faralan again, this time from 6 yards out to make it 28-3 with 4:37 left in the 3rd.

Stanwood fumbled the ball away during the kickoff return, then two plays later Clay Doughty found Devroe open for a 41-yard TD pass.  The 3rd quarter ended with the Wildcats on top 35-3.

The final Wildcat score came on a 3-yard run by Faralan after a 3-play 68-yard drive.  With 5:15 left in the game, Oak Harbor led 42-3, and that score would remain on the board until the final horn.

Boys Tennis 2013-10-04 vs Glacier Peak

It's getting into that time of the year when it's not unexpected to have a boys tennis match postponed due to rain, and that happened to the Wildcats when Wednesday's match against Glacier Peak was changed to Friday due to rain.  Another match earlier in the week was stopped early due to the weather.

Tuesday the JV squad was on the road at Meadowdale and lost 6-1, and at home, the Wildcats were down 5-0 and the 4th singles and 3rd doubles had split their sets when the rain set in and the remainder of the match was canceled, leaving the Mavericks with a 5-0 victory.

Thursday it was nice out and both the JV and Varsity teams headed to Mountlake Terrace and both came home winners.  The JV team won 5-2, and while the varsity team lost at 1st singles and doubles, and 2nd singles, they won the rest of the matches to take the meet 4-3.  Casiano Atienza won 6-4, 6-4 and Jackson Wezeman won 6-3, 6-3, and at doubles it was Tom Dale and Jacob Nelson winning 6-1, 6-2 and Kyle Martin & Isaac Deleon winning 6-4, 6-3.

On Friday, Glacier Peak unleashed a beast, whipping the 'Cats 6-1, with the lone OH winner Jackson Wezeman in a hard-fought 6-4, 7-5 win.  Second doubles Tom Dale and Jacob Nelson also had a long, hard match before falling 4-6, 5-7.

Photos from Friday's doubles action can be found HERE, or also at WescoAthletics.com.

Next week the varsity squad plays Stanwood at home on Monday, then Everett and Getchell on the road.  The JV team is at home Wednesday (Everett) and Thursday (Getchell).

Girls Soccer 2013-10-03 vs Shorecrest

One win and one loss for both the JV and varsity girls soccer teams last week.

On Tuesday the girls traveled to Stanwood and came away double winners, with the JV winning 3-0 and varsity 1-0.

Two days later it was another story against Shorecrest.  Although Wildcat keeper Kenzie Perry had several great saves, the Scots were able to find the net 4 times and the Wildcats none.

The JV girls continued to grow on offense, scoring another 3 goals, but Shorecrest was able to get 5 balls past the Wildcat keeper to win 5-3.

The Wildcat varsity team is now 1-4 in league play and 3-4 overall, as is the JV squad.

Next week the team has two away games, at 3-2 Meadowdale and at 2-2-1 Shorewood.

XC 2013-10-03 - City Beach

Thursday afternoon the OH Wildcat Cross Country team hosted their one and only home meet at City Beach park. Marysville Getchell and Shorewood were the visitors.

In the boys JV race, Oak Harbor captured 4 of the top 10 spots.  Stephen Miller was 2nd, Joe Gorman 4th, Mathew Nortier 7th and Seth Gluth 9th.

The girls team nearly recorded a perfect score, with Wildcats in the top 4 spots and 6 of the top 10.  Alex Laiblin was first, Jonalynn Horn 2nd, Laura Rodeheffer 3rd, Marisa Sligh 4th, Carolynn Wicker 6th and Suzanne Kaltenbach 8th.

The Oak Harbor girls were so dominant that it was nearly 2 minutes after Laiblin crossed the finish line that the first non-Wildcat crossed.  Laiblin finished the 4,600 meter course in 18:37 while the first Shorewood girl crossed in 20:14.  OH won the girls portion of the race with 16 points (low score wins).  Getchell had 54 and Shorewood 64.

The boys varsity was just a dominant.  John Rodeheffer was first in 15:11, Clayton Richardson 2nd in 15:33, and the first Shorewood runner was 3rd in 16:03.  While the Wildcats were 1st and 2nd, Shorewood had a lot of depth, resulting in a tie between the two teams.  OH and Shorewood both scored 30 points while Getchell had 76.

VB 2013-10-01 vs Shorewood

It was a night of highs and lows for the Wildcat volleyball team last Tuesday when they hosted the Shorewood Thunderbirds

On the high side were the 3-0 wins by both the JV and Freshman teams.  The JV girls won 25-18, 25-20, 25-23 and the C team winning 25-14, 25-23, 25-21.

Also on the high side was the first set of the varsity match, which the Wildcats won 25-15.  In set 2 the girls grabbed an early 6-3 lead, but Shorewood went on a 7-0 run to take a 10-6 lead.  OH closed later, at 13-15, but Shorewood went 10-4 at the end to win 25-17.

In set 3, the 'Cats led 4-0 and 9-2 before the T-birds tied the set at 11 and again at 20, but a nice kill by Claire Anderson gave OH a 25-22 set win and a 2-1 match lead.

Unfortunately, the Wildcats stumbled in the final two sets.  After leading 11-5, Shorewood was able to come back to tie the set at 12, then went 7-1 at the end to win 25-19 and force a 5th set.

In the final set, Oak Harbor just couldn't get things going and Shorewood took the set 15-5 and won the match 3-2.

Two days later the Wildcats got revenge by beating Shorecrest 3-1 in varsity action.  The JV and C teams both won 2-1 the same day.

The Seniors and PeeWees were at home and both posted wins to maintain their undefeated seasons.  The Wildcats beat Sedro-Woolley 25-0 and the Bobcats beat Sedro White 25-15.

On the road, the midget Cougars went all the way to Friday Harbor and came away with a 36-0 victory.

Finally, the Jaguars went up against one of the best teams in the league, and while falling 32-12, showed a lot of heart by not giving up and scoring twice in the second half.

Tennis update

It was an up and down week for the Oak Harbor boys tennis team, winning and losing big, and losing a close one.

On Sep 23rd, the varsity squad hosted Mt. Vernon.  Casiano Atienza was the only single winner for OH, and the 'Cats won at 1st and 2nd doubles, but the Bulldogs won 4 matches to win the day 4-3. 

All 3 OH winners needed 3 sets to win.  Atienza won 6-3, 46-, 6-3, 1st doubles (Jose Dimaculangan and Jozef Mendoza) won 6-2, 4-6, 6-3, and 2nd doubles (Jacob Nelson and Tom Dale) had the closest match of all, winning 7-6(5), 4-6, 7-6(5).

Two days later the varsity squad traveled to Marysville Pilchuck and whipped the Tommies 7-0, with all the Wildcat wins coming in straight sets.  The closest was at 4th singles where Jackson Wezeman won 6-2, 6-4.  The JV team had the day off as MP does not have a JV squad.

The next day the varsity team was on the road again, this time to always strong Shorewood. The Thunderbirds are strong again, beating the Wildcats 6-1.  The lone Wildcat win came at 2nd doubles at the team of Nelson and Dale won 1-6, 6-1, 6-3.

Cross country update

The Cross Country season for Oak Harbor started with a bang.

Traveling to Everett on Sep 19th, the boys team annihilated their opponents, sweeping the top 6 spots for a perfect score.  John Rodeheffer was first, Clayton Richardson 2nd, Logan Clark 3rd, Sebastian Ceasar 4th, Nathan Richardson 5th and Nathan Wagner 6th.

The girls were almost as perfect, giving up the top 2 spots, but the depth of the Wildcat program gave them the team win.  Alex Laiblin was 3rd, Jonalynn Horn 4th, Carolynn Wicker 5th, Natalie Fiallos 6th and Suzanne Kaltenbach 7th. 

That weekend the team made their annual trip to Seaside, Oregon for the 3-course challenge.  John Rodeheffer was first on the hard course and boosted OH to an overall 2nd place win.  Clayton Richardson was 5th in the same race.

For the girls, Alex Laiblin was 3rd on the hard course and Laura Rodeheffer 9th which allowed the girls to also capture an overall 2nd place finish.

FB 2013-09-27 at Everett

It was revenge of a sort for the Wildcat football team Friday night at Everett Stadium.  After a heartbreaking loss to Lake Stevens the previous week, the 'Cats came out on fire, spoiling Everett's homecoming.

After holding Everett to a 3-and-out on their first possession, the Wildcats drove 46 yards in 5 plays, ending with a Gage Eccleston 4-yard run with 8:18 left in the first.

Oak Harbor also scored on a 48-yard run by Dejon Devroe, a 14-yard fumble return by Mark Johnston and a 9-yard run by Sheyenne Sams.  That was just the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the defense continued to shine, denying Everett any first downs the entire first half.  Oak Harbor scored 3 more times before the horn sounded for halftime - a 15-yard pass from Clay Doughty to Devroe on 4th down, a 30 yard interception return by Eccleston and a 4-yard run by Carlton Johnson.

For the second half, the Wildcats went deep into the depth chart, while Everett continued to play many of their starters.  As a result, Everett was able to hang two scores on Oak Harbor, a 26-yard pass play with 1:32 left in the 3rd and  a 39-yard pass play that was tipped into the hands of an Everett receiver with 9:59 left in the game.  The entire second half was played with a running clock.

In the end, it was Oak Harbor 49, Everett 16.
