The 1994 Mariners were coming off the most successful team in school history, and their confidence was riding high. Replacing players like Josh Smith and Evan Ayers on the line would be tough, but they were returning a lot of skilled players.
Senior quarterback Ryan Binning was as skilled a passer as their was in Whatcom County. He connected on 61-of-129 passes for 752 yards and eight touchdowns. Senior running back Alex Brown was a scoring machine, carrying the ball 108 times for 784 yards (7.3 average) and 15 touchdowns, and he was named All-League 1st Team. Fellow seniors Todd Zuehlke and Aber Whitcomb each scored a pair of touchdowns on the ground, and had 404 yards and 319 yards respectively.
Senior wide receiver Bob Van Kolken led Sehome in receiving with 26 catches for 352 yards (13.5) and four touchdowns. Senior tight end Andy Hale combined great size (6’4″ 205) and ability to catch 19 passes for 249 yards (13.1), and he was named All-League 1st Team. Junior Sean Ryan also caught two touchdown passes.
Seniors Dominic Papetti and Sean Stimac led the Mariners up front on the offensive line. Papetti was named All-League 2nd Team and Sehome averaged 6.3 yards per rush while scoring 24 rushing touchdowns.
Hale led the defensive push from his defensive line position, and he was named All-League 1st Team. Senior Tory Pazaski and sophomore Lee Eckl were all over the field at linebacker, and Pazaski was named All-League 2nd Team. Juniors Kenny Dorr and Paul Lockhart excelled in the secondary, and Dorr was named All-League 2nd Team.
Senior Alex Brown handled the kicking duties. He connected on 13 extra points and one field goal. He was also named All-League 2nd Team at punter.
