Lynden Christian Lyncs – 8-2 (3-2)
The Lyncs are always one of the top 1A teams in the entire state. They will lose some key pieces, but always have guys ready to fill in. Arguably the biggest recruit to ever come out of Whatcom County is leaving the Lyncs as Kade Eldridge Kade Eldridge 6'5" | 235 lbs | ATH Lynden Christian | 2023 State WA heads down to southern California to join USC. Eldridge was a top player in the entire conference as he had 72 carries with 545 rushing yards and 7 rushing touchdowns. He also had 4.5 sacks on the defensive side of the ball. Another senior leaving the Lyncs is WR/DB Tyler Sipma, who had 43 catches for 619 yards and 9 touchdowns. He also had 7 passes deflected and 5 interceptions as a defensive back. Lane Dykstra will be another big role to fill, he contributed 37 tackles and 5 interceptions as a defensive back.
On the bright side, the Lyncs will be bringing back star quarterback/athlete Jeremiah Wright Jeremiah Wright 6'6" | 220 lbs | DL Lynden Christian | 2024 State WA . He threw for just about 1,500 yards with 14 passing touchdowns and 5 interceptions. He also ran the ball 67 times for 416 yards and 12 rushing touchdowns. He also had 4 sacks on the defensive side. Also returning will be ’24 TE/LB Kayden Stuit Kayden Stuit 6'3" | 230 lbs | TE Lynden Christian | 2024 State WA , who made a huge impact on the defensive side last year compiling 57 tackles and 2 interceptions. ’24 OL/DL Carter Seigman will be returning after having 26.5 tackles, 10 of them being for loss. ’24 playmaker Tyson Bajema will be returning and should have a bigger role on the offensive side as well.
