STANWOOD — Devon Wooldridge ran all over the Oak Harbor Wildcats on Friday night.

Wooldridge scored touchdowns on runs of 40 and 1 yards and racked up 143 yards rushing as the Stanwood football team beat Oak Harbor 22-10 in Western Conference North Division play.

“Our guys played pretty hard, I thought. We played pretty good defense most of the night,” Stanwood coach Dick Abrams said.

Stanwood (2-2 North Division, 2-3 overall) opened the scoring in the first quarter when Michael McCune found Brock Reinecke on a 37 yard TD pass. The Spartans’ defense also tackled Jordan in the end zone for a safety in the third quarter.

Josh Higbee accounted for all of the scoring for Oak Harbor (1-2 division, 2-4 overall). He connected on a 17-yard field goal in the second quarter, then caught a 37-yard touchdown pass from James Jordan. He also kicked the extra point.

Mt. Baker Mountaineers 21

SEDRO-WOOLLEY — The Cubs scored two late touchdowns to win the Northwest Conference contest and even their overall record with their third straight victory.

Derek Garcia found Ryan Morgan for a 55-yard touchdown pass on fourth-and-18 with about two minutes remaining to take the lead. After the Cub defense held, Garcia would tack on a 13-yard TD run for insurance for the Cubs (2-2. conference, 3-3 overall).

“The kids are excited,” Cubs coach Bryan Alexander said. “I think they’re starting to building a lot of confidence. They went from thinking they’re going to win to expecting to win. That’s part of building a program.”

Garcia also had a 1-yard touchdown run earlier in the game and finished with 138 yards rushing and 149 passing. Cody Pohren added 57 yards and an 11-yard TD run.

“Derek and Cody ran the ball well,” Alexander said. “The offensive line, after they settled in, blocked really well up front.”

Cody Trout kicked a 26-yard field goal. The Cubs also got a safety for their first points of the game.

“We sputtered at times today,” Alexander said. “We made a lot of mistakes, mental errors, but the kids were able to find a way to get it done in the end.”
