Of course, congrats to the Lynden Lions players and coaches for a tremendous run through the playoffs. There was never any doubt who the best team on the field was.

Again, thanks everyone for playing along, already looking forward to next year. Have a great offseason!

Thanks FF3 for all of the time you have put in with the Pick Em contest, it was great fun and doesn't hurt to be a little lucky! I'm also looking forward to next year already as it should be a very interesting NWC race.

Thanks for doing this, it was fun.

My only hope to win it was to pick Tumwater and hope...

Thanks once again for putting the time into the "Pick Em". Congratulations to Lynden. I've said it before and I'll say it again they are a team that plays with class win or lose. I know next year there are a few teams in the NWC waiting to knock them off the Conference perch. I know it's way to early, but Squalicum, Sedro Woolley & Burlington return a lot of players. How long til the first game?

 

[NWC Fballfan]

I agree BE Fan, any of the teams you listed could win the confrence title and I would probably say BE would be the favorites. Going into next season without Lynden being the overwelming favorite will be really strange, but I will say Lynden will have enough talent on the field to beat any one of those teams. I'm not sure if the home games change year to year in the NWC but if they do BE and Sqallicum will both have to play @ Lynden. Should be a very interesting year!

 

[B-E Fan]

I for one will never under estimate what Lynden will be able to put on the field. Especially with the coaching staff they have up there. Just 3 short years ago some thought Lynden would be down then that incredible sophomore class stepped up. Although my friend who's a freshmen coach for B-E warned me about the class coming up that year.

I too am looking forward to how next season will unfold. There is no doubt, that this year's Sr. class at Lynden was a special one. Even as sophomores back in '10, many were contributing to that team that went undefeated in the regular season. Losing 19 of 22 starting positions to graduation will be a difficult task for Kramme and his staff.

With that said however, because this year's Sr. class was as talented as they were, I guarantee there will be a large number of kids who were backups this year, that would have played on any other team in the county, but they were all behind so much incredible talent.

I agree with BEFan, and will never underestimate what the Lions will put on the field, regardless of talent level, as Kramme and his staff are just that good at putting together football teams. No doubt, the Lions will "come back to the field" next season, but I bet we will see some of that unknown talent, now that they will be given the chance to not be behind one of the many Sr's from this years class.
