Ferndale was loaded in 2010, but a loss to Lynden, and two more to O’Dea, sealed the the fate for the Golden Eagles.
In his second year as the starting quarterback, junior Jake Frost completed 56 passes for 882 yards and four touchdowns. He also ran for 140 yards and seven touchdowns.
The backfield had one of the quickest duos in Whatcom County history, and they were a pair of 1000-yard rushers – seniors Willy Scott and Riley Locker. Scott was named All-League 1st Team for the second season in a row, rushing for 1007 yards (9.4 average) and 12 touchdowns. Locker had a huge senior season, rushing for 1416 yards (6.7) and 24 touchdowns. He was also named All-League 1st Team, and his 1416 rushing yards in a season is the most by any Locker, and that is impressive! Junior Tanner Dawson contributed with 303 yards (8.7) and a pair of touchdowns.
Senior tight end Tanner Olson led the team in receiving with 18 receptions for 320 yards (17.8). Scott caught 11 passes for 168 yards (15.3) and sophomore Richmond Baardson hauled in eight passes for 104 yards (13.0). Dawson caught a pair of touchdown passes, while senior Colson Crim and sophomore Alex Conley each caught a touchdown pass.
Junior Daniel Canzater led the Golden Eagles up front, and was named All-League 1st Team. The offensive line as a whole led the way for a rushing attack that averaged almost seven yards per carry as a team!
Junior Kyle Prather led the attack on defense from his linebacker position, and he was named All-League 1st Team. Locker and Scott were also each named All-League 1st Team, both playing in the secondary. Locker was also named All-State 2nd Team. Sophomore kicker Wyatt Dunn nailed 42 extra points and a field goal, and would go on to be one of the most prolific kickers in Whatcom County history.
