The 1992 Mariners had one of those great “turnaround” seasons, but came up just shy of making the playoffs. After a 2-7 season the year before, Sehome flipped the switch in ’92, to go 7-2.

Kevin Johnson

At quarterback, senior Kevin Johnson beat out fellow senior Dane Hatch to be the starter. He had a great first game against rival Bellingham (Sehome defeated Bellingham for the first time in nine years), and continued to have an awesome season. He completed 41 passes for 615 yards, 10 touchdowns and just one interception. He also had a bevy of backs to hand to their Wing-T “Ground Birger” offense. Senior Cody Miller showed great moves, rushing for 669 yards (5.4) and one touchdown, and he was named All-League Honorable Mention. Scott Randall made the move from wide receiver to wingback, enabling the diminutive, but speedy, senior to get his hands on the ball more often. It paid off. He ran for 493 yards (6.2) and a team-high nine touchdowns. He also was the leading receiver with 17 catches for 322 yards (18.9) and seven touchdowns. He was named All-League 2nd Team, but the Bellingham Herald chose him as the League’s Co-Offensive Player of the Year. Senior James Murphy ran for 297 tough yards (5.0) from his fullback position. He also shared the position with sophomore Todd Zuehlke who totaled 384 yards (7.5) and three touchdowns.

The Mariners marched up to the line every play with awesome bookends on each side. Senior tight end A.J. LaBree was an All-League Honorable Mention performer, catching six passes for 119 yards (19.8) and one touchdown. On the other side was hulking junior, Josh Smith. He caught eight passes for 91 yards (11.4). Miller and fellow senior Shawn Huartson each also caught a touchdown pass.

The offensive line was a powerful strength for the Mariners. The leaders were junior Evan Ayres (All-League 1st Team) and senior Luke Raymond (All-League Honorable Mention). They were joined by Jake Beattie, Tyler Michaelson and Steve Griggs to push over the rest of the Northwest League, averaging almost five yards per carry and 17 touchdowns on the ground.

Josh Smith

On defense, Smith completely terrorized opponents from his defensive line position, and was named All-League 1st Team. Senior Mark Simmons joined him on the line and was named All-League Honorable Mention. Griggs was a strong tackler, and was named All-League 2nd Team at linebacker. Randall was dynamic at defensive back. He was named All-League 1st Team, the League’s Defensive Player of the Year and was also chosen as an All-State 1st Team pick.

Scott Randall

Junior kicker Brian Dehnert had one of the strongest legs in the league. He booted 19 extra points and two field goals. Raymond proved to be the best punter around, being named All-League 1st Team.

Senior quarterback Cam Harding completed 49 passes for 747 yards, five touchdowns and he also ran for three scores.

Ashley Vincent

The offensive line had two major studs that cleared some major paths. Senior Lee Eckl was named All-League 1st Team, as was junior Ashley Vincent. Sehome averaged 4.4 yards per rush, and scored 18 touchdowns on the ground.

The defense threw a pair of shutouts, and it had three different seniors at each level that dominated. On the defensive line the 6-foot-2 234-pound senior Gabe Robinson was in the backfield on almost every play. Eckl was an extremely hard hitter, coming off of an All-State 2nd Team selection. The secondary was headed up by Graves. All three players were named All-League 1st Team. Robinson and Eckl were selected for the second year in a row.

Senior Sam Allard had a great year kicking, with 19 extra points and one field goal.

The 1997 season was one of those great seasons around Whatcom County, with so many great teams and players, and Sehome was no exception. The Mariners were loaded with talent, size and speed.

josh turrell

Senior quarterback Josh Turrell might have been the most talented. He completed 56.3% of his passes (80-of-142), and that completion percentage was a school record that stood for nine years. He threw for1105 yards, four touchdowns, ran for four touchdowns and was named All-League 1st Team. Joining Turrell in the backfield were seniors C.J. Hayes and Jay Chiabai. Hayes ran for 662 yards and 13 touchdowns, while Chiabai added 175 yards and a score, along with 13 catches for 320 yards (24.6 average) and one touchdown. They were each named All-League Honorable Mention. Another spark in the backfield came from sophomore Pete  Staskiews. He ran for 255 yards (6.4) and five touchdowns.

Justin Pendry
Justin Pendry

Senior wide receiver Trevor Walker had an amazing season, catching 39 passes for 545 yards (14.0) and one touchdown. His reception and receiving yardage totals were new school records for a season, both were previously held by Jay Reyna. Walker’s 39 catches lasted as the school record for 16 years until Evan Miksovsky caught 44 in 2013. Walker was named All-League 1st Team. Senior Justin Pendry was your typical Sehome tight end of the 90’s. 6-foot-5 and 235 pounds, he was a prototype, sealing off the edge, and catching 13 passes for 153 yards (11.8) and two touchdowns. He was also named All-League 2nd Team.

Ashley Vincent

Along with Pendry, the offensive line had other standouts as well. Senior Ashley Vincent (6-1 230) was named All-League 1st Team. Senior Ryan Cullup (6-2 232) was an All-League 2nd Team selection and fellow senior Brian Proctor (6-3 203) rounded out the Sehome all-stars up front, and was named All-League Honorable Mention. The Mariners averaged over five yards per running play, and ran for 27 touchdowns.

Sehome used a lot of the same players from the offensive side of the ball for defense, and they stood out there as well. The defensive line was the strongest unit, with Pendry coming off the edge, teaming up with Cullup and Vincent. Pendry and Cullup were each named All-League 1st Team, and Vincent was an All-League 2nd Team selection. Junior Scott Kirk shined through at linebacker, and was named All-League Honorable Mention. Turrell led the secondary, being named All-League 1st Team, with Walker, who intercepted a pass for a 40-yard touchdown against Snohomish, was an All-League Honorable Mention.

Walker also was a great kicker, hitting 26 extra points and a field goal. For his efforts he was named All-League 2nd Team. Sophomore Calvin Hayes was an All-League Honorable Mention at punter.
