This was something that I just HAD to research, after Ferndale beat Lynden 19-16 on Friday, without scoring a rushing touchdown. So, how long has it really been? The Golden Eagles beat Mount Vernon in 2007, 13-10… but, Casey Locker had a rushing touchdown. Drat! Ohhhh, what about that classic game against Lynden in 2001 when Ferndale won 7-0? Sophomore Riley Cornelsen ran in the lone TD in that game… What about that game in 1996 against Olympia when Max Seppi blocked the extra point, and the Golden Eagles won 7-6? Oh, snap, sophomore Justin Iwasaki ran that touchdown in. How long has it been?
It was on September 22, 1989. That was the last time Ferndale won a game without scoring a rushing touchdown. They beat Arlington 17-6, and quarterback Jason Muggy threw a pair of touchdown passes. One went to Andrew Thompson and the other was to Ron Miller. Tom Phillips added the extra points and the field goal, and there wasn’t a rushing touchdown during the victory. 28 years! That’s pretty impressive.
How do you top a 300-yard performance from opening night? How about a 445-yard outing on Friday! Squalicum senior Triston Smith is inking up the Whatcom County record book, and his 445 rushing yards against South Delta gave him the fourth highest rushing output in a game, in Whatcom County history.
Smith’s unbelievable game also shot him 25 spots up the Whatcom County Career Rushing List! He is now in 27th place, and will continue to climb that ladder.
Blaine senior quarterback Cam Ellis did everything he could last night, trying to top the Meridian Trojans. In fact, he did something that no other Borderite has ever done. His 387 passing yards broke the school record, which was previously held by Caleb Luehmann who threw for 352 yards against Nooksack Valley in 1996. Meridian ended up winning in overtime, 50-44.
The accolades continue for the senior signal caller from Nooksack Valley. After Friday’s week one win over Blaine, Casey Bauman passed a pair of state champion quarterbacks (Jeff Bennum of Meridian and Jordan Hastings of Lynden) on the Whatcom County career passing yardage list. Bauman now stands at seventh all-time, with 4746 yards. Not only did Bennum and Hastings win state championships as seniors, but both players were named the Class 2A State Player of the Year.
Here is the updated list of the top ten career passing leaders in Whatcom County.
Mount Baker’s Carson Engholm and Squalicum’s Triston 
Smith have been starting at running back since they were sophomores. Now seniors, they both have been moving up the Whatcom County Career rushing list. They are both currently over 2000 yards, and could pass some of the county’s all-time great players. Here is where they currently rank:
