Bryce Vandenhaak is having an extraordinary season, and has been able to make a ton of key plays. After catching six passes for 205 yards (34.2 average) and four touchdowns against Lynden Christian on Friday, the Meridian senior now sits at 12 touchdown receptions. That total ties him for 15th in Whatcom County history for touchdown catches in a season. Ferndale legend Rocki Sandusky hauled in 17 touchdown passes in 2005, and that has been the Whatcom County record for 12 years. The Meridian record for touchdown catches in a season is 16, which Andrei Lintz totaled in 2006. Here is the list of players that have caught at least 12 touchdown passes in a season:
