The Lynden and Lynden Christian football squads will look to stay undefeated as they head into tough match-ups in Week 5 of the prep football season. The two highest ranked local squads will play league games versus teams trying to bounce back after suffering their first losses of the year.  

​

Our game of the week features Lynden at Lakewood. Coverage on The Doug Lange Network begins at 6:45pm. Listen online here. 

​

The 3rd ranked Lions (4-0) picked up a huge 24-21 home win over then 5th ranked Archbishop Murphy last week.  The Cougars (3-1) are coming off a 36-14 loss to Sedro-Woolley, in a game that saw them held to under 200 yards of total offense. 

​

"We want to read and react," said Lynden coach Blake Van Dalen. "So this week is a big week to get our kids to a place where they're comfortable flying around out there, because that is when we're usually the most successful." 

 

No. 4 Lynden Christian (4-0) will look to ride the momentum of last week's 28-20 come from behind victory over Mount Baker.  It won't be a easy as the Lyncs play host to Nooksack Valley (3-1). The Pioneers are looking to shake off a 21-14 loss to Meridian in Week 4. 

​

LC head man Dan Kaemingk is looking for four quarters of improved offense versus the Pioneers. "We're really focusing on having a good start and really putting together that complete game that we've been looking for and that we know our kids have in them." 

​

Nooksack Valley head coach Robb Myhre is impressed by the size of Lynden Christian. "I think their front five guys offensively and defensively are just tough, tough kids and there's a reason why they've given up so few points this year."
