The 2001 Pioneers had one of the biggest turnarounds, from one season to the next, in Whatcom County history. In Coach Myhre’s second year at the helm it all gelled together.
Junior quarterback Darrin Van Weerdhuizen played a good season, and was quite a dual threat. He gained valuable experience the year before, due to an injury. He completed 31 passes for 539 yards and six touchdowns, while also scoring three more times on the ground. He had a giant mix of skill players to hand the ball off to. The speedy, and shifty, sophomore Ty Willemsen exploded onto the scene, and was a touchdown scoring machine. The All-League 2nd Teamer ran for 613 yards (6.6 average) and 12 touchdowns. He was also the teams leading receiver with 12 catches for 223 yards (18.6) and a score. Junior fullback Andrew Larson didn’t have as much shiftiness in his style, but his straight-ahead style wound up leading the team with 704 yards on the ground (7.2) and he scored six touchdowns. Senior Aaron Haley, a transfer from Texas, added 464 yards (7.9) and five touchdowns, while junior Anthony Aure contributed with 384 yards rushing (7.1) and four scores.
Junior tight end Scott Venn made some great catches during the season, and finished with 12 receptions for 202 yards (16.8) and two touchdowns. He was also named All-League 2nd Team. Aure also caught a pair of touchdowns, and junior Trent Willemsen hauled in a touchdown pass.
The offensive line was big, but extremely athletic. It revolved around an amazing set of senior pulling guards. Kevin Spoelstra (6-3 210) had great size, strength and speed, and he was named All-League 1st Team. Mitch Thompson (5-10 200) was built more like a guard, and he loved to hit! The Pioneers averaged 6.8 yards per carry, and scored 39 rushing touchdowns.
The same two players that led the offensive line were the main pillars on defense. Spoelstra made huge plays at huge moments from his defensive end spot, including the game-saving tackle against Meridian that would help them clinch a state playoff spot for the first time in 12 years. Thompson at linebacker… I don’t think I can put into words how amazing he was. After interviewing multiple coaches and former players, the word I most commonly heard when speaking about Mitch Thompson was “best”. It was hard to find one better. He was named All-League 1st Team, the League’s Defensive Player of the Year and was named All-State 1st Team. Haley joined Thompson at linebacker, and was an All-League 2nd Teamer. Willemsen starred in the secondary, returned two interceptions for touchdowns, and was named All-League 1st Team. Both seniors Nick Bruland, and Nick Harvey, each returned an interception for a touchdown as well.
Harvey connected on 32 extra points, and was an All-League 2nd Team pick. Willemsen was also a dynamic punt returner, bringing two of them back to the house, a certain skill-set he obtained from his uncles Bill and Chuck Handy.

The seniors from the 1989 Pioneer football team had been through enough. Many of them were forced to play as freshman, and it wasn’t pretty. The 1986 team averaged less than one yard per play, and failed to score an offensive touchdown all season. Three years later, these guys were ready to right the wrong.
One of those seniors was quarterback Brandon Newell. He completed 65 passes for 1053 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also ran for 134 yards, four touchdowns and he was named All-League 2nd Team. Newell was joined in the backfield by a talented trio. Dave Longoria became the second sophomore in Whatcom County history to surpass 1000 yards rushing (John Locker was the first). He ran for 1004 yards (5.9 average) and 16 touchdowns. Senior Dale Johnson totaled 729 yards on the ground (5.4) and three touchdowns. Speedy sophomore Troy Slayton added 371 yards rushing (5.8) and five touchdowns, while being a huge factor in the passing game, catching 10 passes for 231 yards (23.1) and five more scores.
Nooksack Valley was a big, strong team in 1989, and rarely did it split anyone out into a wide receiver spot. But, why would you when you have possibly the best tight end tandem in school history with senior Mark Coppinger and junior Tom Ackerman. Coppinger caught 14 passes for 237 yards (16.9) and three touchdowns, and was named All-League 2nd Team. Ackerman hauled in a team-high 24 passes for 319 yards (13.3) and one touchdown, and he was an All-League 1st Team selection.
To along with strong blocking of Coppinger and Ackerman, the offensive line boasted a pair of big, strong kids that could hold their own against anyone. Senior Scott Myhre was an All-League 1st Team pick, and fellow senior Rodney Hayes (6-4 205) was an All-League 2nd Team pick. They were joined on the line by senior Landry Lawrence, junior Jeremy Neyens and sophomore Brian Pike.
Defensively, there was little that opposing offenses could do against the pass rush of Hayes. He lived in the backfield, and was named All-League 1st Team. He was joined up front by Myhre, who was an All-League 2nd Team selection. The linebackers were strong with Coppinger and Ackerman. Coppinger was an All-League 2nd Team pick, and Ackerman returned an interception for a 92-yard touchdown against Meridian. Newell was named All-League 1st Team at defensive back, and led the secondary with numerous interceptions. Slayton returned an interception 62 yards for a score against Lynden.
Newell handled the kicking duties and hit on 24 extra points. Slayton was the punter, and Longoria returned a punt 64 yards for a touchdown against eventual league champion Lynden Christian.
