The Oak Harbor High School girls basketball team couldn’t carry the momentum of a late season upswing in its offense into a playoff game at Marysville Getchell Tuesday, Feb. 10, and lost 36-22.

The Wildcats (4-16) and Chargers (9-11) finished the Wesco North season tied for fourth with 3-7 records, forcing a tie-breaking game to determine which would play the fourth-place team from the Wesco South for the final district tournament berth.

Oak Harbor entered the game on an offensive roll. In its previous four contests it produced its two highest scoring games and two others which ranked near the top.

One of those was a 46-43 win over the Chargers Feb. 4.

However, in the tie breaker the Wildcats scored in single digits in all four quarters.

The Chargers steadily pulled away, leading 8-4, 15-7, 26-13 after the first three periods.

Julie Jansen led Oak Harbor in scoring with seven points, while AnnaBelle Whitefoot added five. Rashanna Graham, Janae Payne, Bryn Langrock, Jinai Guzman and Hayley Lundstrom scored two apiece.

Gabrielle Grandbois scored 17 for the Chargers.
