Young baseball team having ups and downs early in its new season
“I’ve been hunkered down the last few days, trying to ride out the winter sports storm. It’s a weather front that set in a few weeks ago, about the time the Oak Harbor wrestling team went to Districts at Cascade High School.”
“It was a game that didn’t matter a whole heck of a lot, but the Wolves didn’t act like it.The Coupeville girls jumped out to a 14-1 lead in the first quarter and never looked back on the way to an emphatic 55-29 win over Orcas in the final round of Tri-Districts on Saturday.”
“For local folks, the biggest news to come from the recent meeting of the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission was a new policy governing Puget Sound crab.”
“The turnover disease that plagued Oak Harbor all night against Snohomish struck again in the fourth quarter Tuesday. Garrett Stone’s pass down court sailed out of bounds, and the Wildcats could get no closer in a 49-41 loss.”
“Did you see that on the side of the road? I asked Woody. We were on State Route 20 between the towns of Marblemount and Rockport. It almost looked like an arm, or something, I said.It was a salmon, Woody replied.An eagle probably dropped it.”
The Oak Harbor wrestling team continued its undefeated run through the conference season with a dramatic 35-28 win at Kamiak on Thursday.
“There are style points, and there are scoreboard points. Bottom line: The Wildcats got more of the latter. It wasn’t exactly pretty, but the Oak Harbor girls basketball team blew past the short-handed Ingraham Lady Rams on Monday, 67-28.”
“After coming out on the short end of some dramatic home games this season, Oak Harbor boys basketball coach Frank Hunter was happy to simply grind out a victory. The Wildcats built an early lead and fought off a feisty Stanwood squad down the stretch for a 58-49 win Tuesday night.”
“In a season of one close game after another, the Coupeville boys basketball team is winning the ones that matter the most.Pat Bennett scored a game-high 23 points at Concrete to lead the Wolves to a 60-57 win over the Lions.”
“If it was any sign of things to come for Coupeville boys basketball fans, strap yourself in. The Wolves lost a 58-54 overtime thriller to St. George this weekend.”
“The 4A Western Conference is wasting no time getting into league competition this season, so the Oak Harbor wrestling team got right down to business.The Wildcats dominated Mountlake Terrace 64-7.”
“It was all there at the tip of Garrett Stone’s fingers — the roaring crowd, the come-from-behind win. But Stone’s driving, arching shot at the buzzer rimmed off, and the Oak Harbor boys fell to Everett 60-59 Tuesday night.”
