Varsity football vs Monroe 9-11-2009

Things didn't look good for Oak Harbor in the first half as Monroe built a 19-0 lead, but the Wildcat offense started to click and took the lead 21-19 with time getting short in the 4th quarter.

Monroe was able to drive down to the OH 1, aided by a dubious defensive pass interference call, and scored with 1:01 remaining to take a 26-21 lead. Oak Harbor drove into Bearcat territory, but with about half a minute left, Monroe intercepted a Wildcat pass then took a knee to end the game.

The final score: Monroe 26, Oak Harbor 21.

More details and video clips coming soon.

Girls Soccer 9-10 Lake Stevens

It wasn't pretty Thursday night at Wildcat Memorial Stadium for the girls soccer home opener.

In JV action, the Wildcats were hurt by injuries and some girls without enough practices to be eligible. The girls started the game with only 11 eligible players, leaving them with no substitutes while Lake Stevens had 6 subs available.

Lake Stevens built a 5-0 lead by halftime, one on a penalty kick and early in the 2nd half, Oak Harbor lost a girl to injury and had to play the remainder of the game with only 10 players. Lake Stevens continued their aggressive play, scoring another 5 goals by the time the game ended.

At one point in the game the Wildcats were down to just 9 players due to a bloody nose.

In varsity action, Lake Stevens scored in the 10th minute and again in the 27th to take a 2-0 lead into halftime. The Viking were able to put another 3 goals in for a 5-0 victory. One of the goals came on a corner kick and one bounced off the pole supporting the goal and into the net.

Volleyball 9-10-2009 @ Burlington

At Burlington on Thursday, the Wildcat volleyball team fell to the Burlington-Edison Tigers 25-16, 25-11, 25-14. It was quite a reversal from Tuesday’s 5-set marathon at NWMS. Marisa Sutherland again led the Wildcats in kills, but could get only 4 compared to 11 on Tuesday. Amanda Blau was busy at the net, adding two more blocks to her total.

Burlington led through all 3 games, but Oak Harbor did close to just 2 points, 7-9, in the 2nd game.

The volleyball team will be at home vs Shorewood on September 15th.

Varsity football vs Cascade 9-4-2009 game details and video clips

More details from the OH @ Cascade football game, plus some video clips.

Cascade got the opening kickoff at their own 12 yard line, and only gained 5 yards before Rashaad Smith ran in for a solo tackle. From there, Cascade took 12 plays to march down to the OH 24. There the drive stalled and Cascade was forced to punt on a 4^th and 26 after a holding call. Oak Harbor ran two pass and one run play in their first possession before punting from their own 20. The punt was muffed, but Cascade recovered on the OH 42. On 2^nd down at the Wildcat 35, Cascade broke the runner free and wasn’t tackled until he got to the Oak Harbor 4. Two plays later the Bruins ran in for a score. They converted for 2 points, making the score 8-0.

On their 2^nd possession the ‘Cats again ran only 3 plays before punting from their own 20. This punt bounced at the OH 42 then rolled into Bruin territory, coming to rest at the Cascade 43.

The Oak Harbor defense adjusted well to Cascade’s offense, bending, but not breaking. Cascade drove down to the OH 31 yard line and was facing a 4^th and 2 situation when the Wildcat defense stepped up and stopped the Cascade runner for a 1-yard gain.

On offense, it was 4-and-out as a 4^th down pass attempt to an open receiver was batted down by the Cascade line.

On Cascade’s first play from the OH 37, Nick Rouser barged through the line and hit the runner for a 4-yard loss. Cascade was able to get the ball inside the Oak Harbor 10, and at the point the “D” really got fired up. Jason Curles had a nice tackle for loss on 3^rd and goal, and on 4^th and goal from the OH 6, the runner was stopped at the 1 yard line.

Taking over with a 1^st and 10 on their own 1 yard line, the OH offense got some rhythm, moving the ball out to the 32 yard line. Unfortunately, Cascade intercepted the LaMont pass at their own 41 and returned it back to the OH 15 yard line.

On the very next play, Alec Castillo knocked the ball loose and recovered the fumble, giving Oak Harbor the ball at the OH 19, but LaMont was sacked on the first scrimmage play, ending the half with Cascade leading 8-0.

Josh Higbee took the 2^nd half kickoff at the 9 yard line and returned it across midfield to the Cascade 43. The drive ended in a punt to the Cascade 35 yard line.

On defense, the guys again flexed but kept the Bruins out of the end zone. Cascade was looking at a 4^th and 5 at the OH 15, but gained nothing, turning over the ball to Oak Harbor.

Later in the game the defense got the ball to the offense again on a 4^th down stop at the OH 26, but another interception stopped the drive.

Cascade was able to score on their final drive of the game from 2 yards out and just 1:44 on the clock, extending their lead to 15-0.

The ensuing kickoff was returned to midfield and a nice reception and run by Brad Farnum took the ball to the Cascade 38. Quarterback Clarence LaMont ran a QB keeper to the near side at the 27, then a defensive pass interference gave Oak Harbor a first down at the Cascade 11 yard line, but a bad snap and a pair of incompletions gave the ball back to the Bruins with just 12 seconds on the clock, and they took a knee to end the game.

Video clips from the game are posted HERE.

The home opener is this Friday, September 11th against Monroe, a big winner last week.

Boys Tennis 9-9-09

The Oak Harbor varsity boys tennis team played their 2nd match in as many days, traveling to Lake Stevens to take on the Vikings.

Lake Stevens had a strong team, but OH pulled out two wins. Junior David DeGuzman was the only OH singles winner, by a 2-6, 6-4, 6-2 score over Jerde.

The other win was the doubles team of Geoff Worley and Kevin Gagen, who beat Sison and Iverson 6-4, 3-6, 6-4.

Oak Harbor also won an exhibition match, with juniors Max O'Dell and Matt Takaoka beating Cooper and Shagan 8-4.

The loss puts the varsity team at 1-1 for the season.

Volleyball 9-8-2009 vs Cascade

The Oak Harbor Wildcat volleyball team opened their season with a non-league match against the Cascade Bruins.

Due to finishing touches being put on the gym and remodeled field house, the freshman, JV and varsity squads were split between the two middle schools.

The Freshman team played at Oak Harbor Middle School and had a successful outing, winning all 3 games.

The JV was at North Whidbey Middle School and dropped all 3 games, but the games were all close, with only a 2-point differential in each of the 3 games.

The varsity was also at North Whidbey, and Cascade made the Wildcats work.

The first game started out even, with the two teams trading points to knot the score at 4-4. The ‘Cats then took the lead 7-4, aided by a Devin Tanner service ace, then Cascade closed it back to 2 points, 7-5. At that point Emily Meagher got the serve, and when Cascade was able to score again, OH was ahead 14-5. Later in the game Marisa Sutherland scored a kill to make the score 21-14 in favor of OH. Cascade closed the gap, but gave Oak Harbor game point, 24-17, on a hitting error. Cascade didn’t give up and scored 7 straight points, including 2 service aces, to tie it at 24. Katelyn Bristow got a nice set for a kill to give OH game point 25-24, but Cascade still was not going down without a fight, twice holding game point of their own. In the end, a net violation on the Bruins then a service ace gave Oak Harbor game 1, 30-28.

Game two was close throughout until OH was able to build a 3-point lead on a Sutherland kill, helped along by 2 kills and a service ace by Tanner. The Wildcats lead for all but the earliest moments of the game and finished with a 25-19 win to take a 2-0 match lead.

Again, Cascade fought back. They took command midway through game 3, winning 25-15. Amanda Blau had a couple of kills for the ‘Cats.

Game 4 was much like game 2, with the two teams never more than 3 points apart. Kelsey Terrazas-Cooley scored one of her 6 aces in this game but it wasn’t enough as Oak Harbor lost game four 23-25 to tie the match at two games apiece.

The final, fifth game is played to only 15 points. The Wildcats fell behind early, giving Cascade an early 4-1 lead, but OH fought back and a nice block by Amanda Blau gave the girls a 5-4 lead. Cascade grabbed the lead back, 8-7, but two straight hitting errors by the Bruins gave the lead back to OH and they kept it. Devin Tanner sealed the win by Oak Harbor with a big kill to make it 15-10 in game 5 and a 3-2 win for Oak Harbor.

Sutherland led the team with 11 kills, and 5’-5” Bristow added 6. Setter Melany Cone tallied 35 assists.

4 video clips are posted HERE, including Devin Tanner's match point kill.

Varsity football vs Cascade 9-4-2009

The Wildcats took the field at Everett Memorial Stadium last Friday night in their first game of the year with a new offensive look in place. In previous years, Oak Harbor was known for running the Wing T formation, but a few games into last years' season switched to a spread, pass-oriented offense. This year a new twist was added - no huddle and hurry up, starting from play one.

Cascade took their 2nd possession to the endzone and used a trick PAT to score 2, giving the Bruins an early 8-0 lead. The defense adjusted well, holding the Cascade run game in check and forcing several 4th-down turnovers. That 8-0 lead stayed throughout most of the game until Cascade scored again late, leaving the final score Cascade 15, Oak Harbor 0.

No video clips are available yet, but will be posted when available. In the meantime, a few photos of the game are posted HERE.

The next game for the varsity Wildcats is at home on September 11th vs the Monroe Bearcats, who beat Shorewood 50-6 last Friday.
