That’s not to say Squalicum can’t be competitive in this game - 10th-year Storm coach Nick Lucey is among the best in the county, and the team has plenty of talent. No disrespect to the Canadian teams, but the level of competition presented by those squads doesn’t come close to rivaling the teams in the 2A Northwest Conference. Squalicum, which faced back-to-back teams from British Columbia to fill out its non-league schedule, still has questions lingering after squeezing by Seaquam in week two. Lynden bounced back in a big way in week two, silencing the flurry of doubts that came after its 24-game win streak was snapped by Ferndale on Sept.

Junior running back Talan Bungard, who rushed for more than 130 yards in the season opener, did so again against Oak Harbor, totaling 133 yards on 18 carries, according to Whatcom Preps. Defeating Class 4A Glacier Peak in the Golden Eagles’ home opener could be just the juice they need to solidify themselves as contenders in Class 3A. The Golden Eagles, in addition to playing in front of a home crowd, will have the motivation of last year’s loss to the Grizzlies - a 42-14 defeat at Lumen Field in Seattle.Ī possible season of regression for Ferndale in 2023–24 has begun with two statement wins, one over reigning 2A state champion Lynden and the other against Oak Harbor. This was one of three leading candidates for game of the week, but Ferndale unveiling its brand-new stadium after sharing Blaine’s home field for two seasons tipped the scale in favor of the Golden Eagles.įerndale, which has already moved into its freshly constructed academic buildings, will now get to play at its own campus for the first time since March 20, 2021. 1 during the Golden Eagles' season-opening win over Lynden.
