Track 2015-05-08 at Stanwood

Friday evening the Wildcat track team wrapped up their regular season with a trip to the Stanwood Invite.

4A Lake Stevens won both the girls and boys team scoring, while OH got 2nd in both, edging out host Stanwood.

In a different move, speedy Dejon Devroe did not run the 400m dash, but instead ran in the 800m.  It didn't matter, as the result was the same - another Devroe victory.   Dejon crossed the finish line nearly 5 seconds ahead of the 2nd placer runner in the 2-lap race.

In another non-surprising finish, OH senior Jonalynn Horn won the 3200m run.

That, and Devroe's 800m run victory were the only OH winners.  It was the Oak Harbor depth that carried the day, with forty OH athletes placing in the top 5 in the 17 boys and 18 girls events.

Full results are at athletic.net

Next for the tracksters is the Wesco 3A North Championships, a 2-day event that takes place on Wednesday and Friday, the 13th and 15th of May.

Following that, the teams head to Shoreline Stadium for the NW District 1 Championships, which includes Wesco 3A North and South, plus Ferndale.

The 'Cats aren't out.  They play the loser of the other 1st-round game, Arlington, at home Monday.   Just a week ago the Wildcats took 2 of 3 from the Eagle.

The second-place Arlington Eagles swooped into town Friday afternoon, bringing both their varsity and JV squads, then took off with a split in the games.

Photos from the Arlington JV game are posted HERE.

The result wasn't as pretty in the varsity game, as Arlington used their big sticks to knock the Wildcats 12-1.

Monday at MP, the 'Cats went into the bottom of the 9th tied at 10 with their host, but a grand slam home run by Pilchuck ended the game 14-10 in MP's favor.

Boys Soccer 2015-05-04 vs Mountlake Terrace

In the final home game of the regular season, the JV and varsity squads split with the visiting Hawks from Mountlake Terrace.

It was a 4-0 loss for the JV squad with one game to go (on Thursday at Getchell)

The varsity match, however, was about as lopsided for Oak Harbor as it's ever been.

The game started with the annual parent night, the team saying goodbye to four seniors - Jeremy Vester, Dakota Powers, Eduardo Andrade and Taylor Yancey.  Their departure at the end of the season will leave some big shoes to fill.

Just over 10 minutes into the game, Dakota Powers kicked in a goal, and 10 minutes later JJ Mitchell made it 2-0.

Five minutes into the 2nd half, JJ got another goal, then 2 minutes later took advantage of a miscue by the Terrace GK to head the ball into the net for a 4-0 lead.

Terrace scored twice late in the game to make the score respectable, but it was all OH from start to finish.
