Yeah, we know the Hawks put on a clinic Saturday night dismantling the Oak Harbor Wildcats 64-32 to earn a trip to the District Championship game against Stanwood next Saturday at Jackson H.S.
But what everyone is still buzzing about – and there was a lot to trip anyone’s buzzer from the first half of the game – was LaTrae Sarden’s dunk off a missed lay-in by Blake Fernandez in the middle of the second quarter. Yes, you read that correctly – 6-foot 2-inch LaTrae Sarden threw down with authority on an incredibly well-played and well-timed sequence as the Hawks stormed out to a 46-11 halftime lead.
Yeah, you read that correctly, too – 46-11. The Hawks held Oak Harbor to 7 points in the first quarter, 4 in the second quarter – including a 4-plus minute stretch to finish the half where the ’Cats were held scoreless – 6 points in the third and, yes, 15 in the fourth.
