The road trip was worth it.

Playing as the home team in someone else’s stadium Saturday, the Oak Harbor Football and Cheer League Seniors gridiron squad claimed a title, beating Arlington 28-20.

The victory caps a perfect 10-0 season for the Wildcats.

With no youth football program offered in Coupeville, three Wolves wore the purple and gold this season.

Island unity has carried them to the cusp of a gridiron title.

The Oak Harbor Football and Cheer League Seniors football squad, which features three Coupeville Middle School students, is a perfect 9-0 after destroying Bellingham 36-20 Saturday in a semifinals clash.

Now, the Wildcats (and their Wolf stars) head to Arlington next Saturday, Nov. 8 to play that town’s team in the championship game.

Despite traveling, Oak Harbor will be considered the home team in a game set to go down starting at 5:00 PM at Arlington High School.

Since Coupeville doesn’t have youth football programs, interested Wolves end up joining the North enders to begin their careers, before putting on the red and black once they hit high school.

Currently bouncing between towns are Coupeville Middle School students Max Myers, Diesel Eck, and Kamden Ratcliff.

Planning out their attack for Arlington.
