School Background:
After a re-classification four years ago,
Lynden High School, grades 9-12, have been moved to the Washington State
2A bracket. They will continue to compete at just as high of a
level, and expect to be a dominating force. This year the team
made another trip back to the Tacoma Dome to make their fourth
consecutive appearance. They hope to be just as
successful in the years to come.
All Time History:
The stats below have been compiled since 1945. The Lions have compiled
some outstanding years of football in recent years to maintain a level
of excellence set by teams from generations ago. Next years team
will be Lynden's 65th team. They will try be the 8th Lion team to
make it to the Dome in the past 10 years.

2010 Outlook: The magical
2009 season that concluded with a thrilling 16-6 State
Championship win will be etched in the memories of Lynden players,
coaches, and fans for years to come. It was the first time in
Lynden History that a football team has won back-to-back state titles
and the first time in the 2A ranks that this has been accomplished.
Hoping to continue this success is a 2010 team that has a bright
outlook. Although they do not return many players they have a lot
of talent that have been waiting a long time for a chance to display
their skills. They might not be the early favorites, but they will likely surprise a lot of people and
make another deep run into the playoffs. |
