Every year they talk about the storm being good and every year they are terrible.

yea well this year will be different for squalicum, watch out

storm better open up the offense this year...8 in the box isn't gonna cut it...another thing, Stackhouse, from what I heard isn't injured, he just doesn't want to play...wants to concentrate on basketball....tell it like it is!!!Please!!!

im a sehome fan, but i think squali should be pretty solid

EXCUSE ME BOYS.
I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.
AND I THINK SQUALICUM'S QB IS GOING
TO DO VERY WELL THIS YEAR. BUT THEY
WILL NOT BEAT LYNDEN.

I agree with the last comment. Victor will be very good, and they'll have a chance against Lynden

Squalicum has a good mix of seasoned juniors with some solid senior leadership. Many of the juniors that figure to make a difference saw action as sophomores and Fenton is one of a pretty talented group there.

Evan dedicated himself to the weight room his sophomore year and blossomed (6'0" and 240 lbs). Combine his size and agility and he possesses a skill set that makes DI college coaches drool and he is just a fuzzy faced 16 year old...and football isn't even his best sport! Hell he plays short stop during his school season and started at 3rd for a fairly potent King Nissan team this past summer as the only sophomore on the team. He reminds many of a Joey Paciorek from Blaine except bigger and stronger now as an incoming junior...but time will tell.

If they decide to work him more into a tailback slot and feature him a bit, like they did in the last game of last year down in Lynnwood, look out. He is not fancy but is definitely a punishing runner with enough speed to get into the defensive backfield where kids will hesitant in tackling due to the size and speed he packs. On the defensive side he is pretty good but needs to be more aggressive. He will make the big play but needs to work on being an every down high motor guy which may keep him from playing full time on the offensive side to save him a bit.

Reed Richardson has had these kids for a couple years now and you can see improvement each year. I'd look for this group of kids to make some noise this year. The enthusiasm for the program is definitely there.

I hope too that SQHS can come out and do better this year .... my kids have graduated and still go there so it's a home school but sure would be nice for the boys to go somewhere now .... and as always time will tell but good luck SQHS

Richardson has had them for three years....but his play calling leaves something to be desired. he's too conservative for high school football....The storm needs some spice in their offense. And there was no improvement last year ..they went from 6 and 4 to 4 and 6...that isn't improvement...there was great expectation last year, and i think his play calling is suspect. Also he made too many roster changes during the year and there was no fluidity to the offense or defense. Didn't trust his players and therefore they all lost confidence. No high school player does well with a threat of being benched if they screw up

So, what about new players to the team this year, like the one from Texas is he impressive to Squalicum?

I hear that Miller kid is a stud..But he's only a Soph.... We'll have to wait and see

So, what about new players to the team this year, like the one from Texas is he impressive to Squalicum?

Sorry about the duplicate comment fans.

Let's give Richardson the benefit of the doubt... He's young, but very passionate. He will improve with experience... He's
got some talent...maybe this year he can put it all together. Victor is impressive...so is Smith and Sanford....Juniors look very good. Dallas may be a sleeper at receiver

Doesn't SQHS always have a huge team? last years talk was the same thing "there huge"...they might be huge but they sure did not do anything last year they even lost to to the CUBs ...they do not have a chance against LyndEn lions are you kidding me?? thats like saying BHS has a chance against FHS come on now lets get serious..SQHS is OVERRATED! they got blown up by the lions 31-8 last year and I predict they will this season as well

MARK my words SQHS will not be a playoff team like the LIons or B-eHS

Lynden will make evan fenton look like the sad story of a football player that he really is.

He'd be lucky to make the JV squad over at LHS. You can quote me on this, the lions will hold that sorry excuse of a QB to under 2 TD's, 50 yards rushing, and 100 yards passing.


Go lions

Put Fenton in a system like Lynden's and he'd do just fine thank you very much. Lynden is big and good no doubt but without a system like they have where kids run the same offense and defense from the time they put on pads the'd be another 5-5 team. The Bellingham schools are at a disadvantage in that regard. All the kids are continually split up and change schemes as they move through the ranks before hitting high schools where they change again. I'd like ot see what would happen if they all played the same offense and defense all the way through...then you would have at true comparison. The advantage goes to the schools and towns where there is only one team and one scheme ie Lynden, Ferndale, Burlington, Meridian, Mt Vernon...think about it.

The reports I am getting on Miller is that he is good but young and that of course means mistakes. Squalicum went 4-6 last year with three of lose losses coming after having drubbed teams for 3 or more quarters...two games that stand out in my mind of teams they should have easily put away but let the game slip through their hands were Bellingham and Sedro. I think they had 6 fumbles against Woolley and all of them resulted in scores while the Storm dominated offensively. Mistakes in the Bellingham game cost them the same way. Agreed Richardson needs to be less predictable with his play calling but I am not sure he calls the plays...that may fall on Kamenga.

Nice idea drake22, but Lynden doesn't run their spread offense until they hit Junior Vasity ball. That is actaully one of the problems with that system - you just can't run a spread offense or passiing game down in 6-9th grade...think about it.

I find it amazing that some of you have the nerve to talk smack about H.S. kids. I know this that you that talk don't play because players respect each other. You are either mama's little computer geeks or just boys that wish they could play. Whether or not your team wins or loses you are still with NO CLASS!

Although they've had some losses, they've had some AMAZING victorys. The most spirited school, a great coach, and a wonderful team is all you need for a great season, and that's exactly what Squalicum has.

GO STORM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just curious when we will talk about the other schools or are there any other schools? It seems to me that Meridian, Nooksack & Blaine have been ignored.

Give me some more previews!

This is a joke. How are they going to improve on last year? I agree that Victor will be a much better QB than last year, but that line is going to need some time. Benson is a great offensive line coach, but at least 3-4 of the starters on the O-Line were JV players last year. Too much leadership gone, still a year away.

Not sure where drake22 gets the idea that Lynden runs the same system from the time they put on pads. The middle school does not run it. I'm just glad it's football season and I wish all the teams well. The great thing about sports is we can all write what we want on these blogs, but it ultimately gets decided on the field.

I agree with last comment....It's football season and i wish all the kids a great year, and hope they avoid injuries..... GO STORM....make the playoffs guys!!! Especially you seniors who have played together for four year. I wish you all the best

i think everyone on here needs to calm down.

their just in high school.
the main thing is to just have fun.

were do some of u people get saying crap about our team. Talking down on fenton and on tex. none of u have really seen these guys play. So alot of you have no idea what ur talking about. And for B&J-Productions, "Lynden will make evan fenton look like the sad story of a football player that he really is. He'd be lucky to make the JV squad over at LHS. You can quote me on this, the lions will hold that sorry excuse of a QB to under 2 TD's, 50 yards rushing, and 100 yards passing." That makes so mad for u to say that when the season hasn't even started yet. Fenton and Victor will be great and for ur prediction, you can quote me, "this years game will be not like the past!"

To the fool who posted that its just about having fun...YOU can get a clue. The game means a lot more to the players than just a way of enjoyment. When you put so much in to one particular thing it kinda crosses the "game" threshold

And personally i love all the smack talk. It should get players fired up, which is what they need. If anything it should help them perform, it always helps to have a bit more incentive or when things get a bit personal. You can't expect for people's posts to be all love and flowers, i mean seriously were talking about football. Its a game of emotions, you should know that.

Wing T for the win!

OK so maybe Lynden does not put the full offense in until they are in high school...bottom line is the kids do not get split up and go to three high schools like they do in Bellingham. If Bellingham had one team it would be a whole different story for the county schools as witnessed back when....it's a team sport after all.

you know it seems like all the smack talk is coming from lynden fans, well let me tell yall something!!
you say even fenton couldnt hold up in the lynden game PLEASE!! your sorry little lynden boys couldnt hold up in a real game of Texas football!! they would be crying and whining all the way off the field. So before you start trashing even and determing what he can and cant do. Close your tacky mouths and let the boys handle thier business on the field!! So watch out lynden SQHS is gonna be running over top of you this year!!
Go Storm!!

B&J productions.......
i guess you have no idea who fenton is do you?
this kid has more talent that any one of your
lions do

lets be real here... we know squalicum has talent.. but, this team has no one like chad clark, nick wallace, or the huge lineman they have had in the past....and those teams were awful. so it's hard for people to take you seriously when you say this year will be different.

Crazy texas freak,


OBVIOUSLY we wouldnt hold up against a true texas football team. Do you really think were that stupid??? God were not a bunch of SQHS students...

Fenton this Fenton that, oh hes 6 foot 240. So were saying here lynden has to stop one guy and they win. Wow that will be an easy task for Lynden. Looks like SQHS will have to stop multiple of players. It will be like last year LHS 50, SQHS 13. We all remember that and how fun of a game it was to watch ;)

Good Luck!!

I agree with Done because SQHS is overrated and One guy to stop? what a joke plenty of teams can stop one guy....Lynden will make SQHS look like abunch of sissy haha lets remeber SQHS did lose to Sedro Wolley!..playoff push this year? I dont think so

Go lions!

sorry guys, but Fenton isn't even the featured man in the storm offense. We've got a couple 4.5 and 4.6 guys and a new running back from texas. Our receivers are awesome and we have a quarterback that can get the ball to them. Fenton is the fullback blocking for them. But i do hope they get him the ball once in a while, so he knock a few of you on your backsides

4.5's and 4.6's are good.

I know lynden has two receivers who are pretty quick. the paper listed one at a 4.45, and the other at a 4.66...the 4.6 being Gaylord. I know another runs a 4.5 and rumor has it they have a linemen putting those figures up too. And as much as i would like fenton to put em on there asses i have a feeling that wont be happening hahaha, them fella's know how to put a hit on. They arent really accustomed to being hit upon if you know what im saying.




Seriously though, lynden needs to chill with the smack talk, we all know you guys will be good. No need to broadcast to the world by putting everyone else down.

well they better prepare themselves cause
now they have to whole team gunning
for them since theyve been talking so much
crap but keep it coming it only fuels there
fire, honestly its making your situation worse

You lynden kids are a bunch of wusses for talking crap anonomously over a blog.
I'd like to see any of you go up to evan or for that matter, anyone on the team and talk this much smack. Just because you guys are inbred, it doesn't mean you have to take it out on the rest of the world.

The Miller kid is a force to reckon with, He has the passion and the power it should be an interesting year for the Storm.And for Miller

lynden is a bunch of stuck up little goody-goods. All they do on their free time is talk smack and think they're better than everyone else.

squalicums a bunch of stuck up rich kids, and they should start preparing for ferndale, cause there better than lynden

Look this has gotten out of hand. Lynden is good, nobody is going to argue that. Ferndale will be good, Meridian will be just fine too. Squalicum has 3 state champions or state contenders on their schedule, that is no easy task to handle. They will need to remain healthy, positive and on task and they will have a successful season.

Football isn't a one man sport....it's a team game and it takes all 11 guys pouring everything they have into every down to have success. Sometimes success isn't measured on the scoreboard although it is the final measure on the outcome of the game. No, success is measured in the heart and determination of each and every player that suits up and takes the field. Not every kid is a Fenton or a Gaylord or a Locker or whoever...for every talented kid there are 5 others who are not so.

Sure it's more than a game...but the lessons learned in both winning and losing, in team play, go far past a players gaze to the scoreboard as the final seconds click off on his senior year. One football game is not an epic life or death struggle and will certainly not determine the success of a player as he enters college or the business world or as he starts a family. It's a building block...win or lose.

My guess is in here that many of you have never even put on pads, never put on a baseball glove or ever suited up with 4 other guys and played hoops for your school. You don't really know what it means to suit up with your teammates and go out to do battle on the football field; no doubt some do. Smack talk really is for the weak, the insecure. And if all you have to do is come in here and talk smack about a bunch of 16, 17 and 18 year old kids I feel sorry for you.

The kids all know who lays it on the line out there on the field. They earn their own respect. Let's leave it up to them, win or lose, to decide who is who with class and respect.

We're only a few days from the opening kickoff of the football season and after reading the previous 48 comments I'm glad the "put up vs shutup is about to happen". Of course smack talk happens, but I'm reminded of a quote I read from Michael Phelps' coach. It goes:

"Talk is talk, words are words, but performance is all that matters"

The 6'8" guy is Tyler Cole.

the storm looks good this year. strong backfield & a good d they also have a few good jr"s keep a eye on the miller kid he could have a very good year. Go storm

....and at the end of the day performance is measured in so many other ways than just the final scoreboard tally. In the short term the score matters most to the kids and the fans. In the long term, however, I hope it doesn't define a single one of them because "Glory days will pass you by....in the blink of a young man's eye" to quote Mr. Springsteen. Good luck to all of the teams in the NWC.

squalicum is going to be very good this i have no idea why all the lynden people are talking trash about us but were gonna bring it this year so you guys better watch out! also my teammate victor is just gonna dominate the NWC hes a beast who is waiting to redeam himself from last year... just wait and see

Defense is what wins championships, and defense is what the Storm is best at. Last season they held Ferndale's offense pretty well for about the 1st quarter, but started falling apart later in that game. If they can play defense to the best of their ability for 4 quarters, I bet they could hold any other team's offense pretty well.

Well squalicum...that was about the easiest game of my life. Make it a challenge for us next year k?

HAHA

lynden shut up and get a life outside of farming and lynden football.

to bad your basketball team is no match for the storm

our town smells good (clap,...clap,..., clap,clap,clap)

our town smells good (clap,...clap,..., clap,clap,clap)

and #74 INGE would have done some big things for squalicum if he hadnt gotten injured his senior year
