Smollack voted WesCo North first-team all-star

Rumble named to second team

By a vote of WesCo North League girls coaches, Oak Harbor junior guard Mietra Smollack was named a first-team basketball all-star for her efforts on the court during the 2006/07 season.

Smollack led the Wildcats to a 11-5 league record, earning Oak Harbor the number four seed in the district playoffs.

The Wildcats dropped two straight games in the playoffs to Jackson and Mountlake Terrace, and finished the season with a 15-7 overall mark.

During the campaign Smollack had many big games, including a career-high 32 points in a 70-65 victory over Lake Stevens on Jan. 5.

For the boys, junior forward Rodrick Rumble was voted a member of the all-league second team.

Rumble, the only junior in the Wildcats’ starting lineup, scored consistently in double figures in nearly every game he played this season.

The Oak Harbor boys failed to reach the playoffs and finished the season with a 7-9 record in the WesCo North, and a 9-11 overall mark.

Junior guard Danica Russell was voted a member of the girls honorable mention team and seniors Dallas Heidt and James Leach were named boys honorable mention performers.
