Watch video highlights from Blaine vs. Lynden football

October 7th, 2009

Here are video highlights from Lynden’s 28-14 win over Blaine last week. It was produced by a Blaine parent so it’s tends toward Borderites highlights, but it’s a good watch. Be sure to check out Caleb Statham’s 99-yard TD run about 40 seconds into the video. And watch Lynden’s closing speed. WOW.

Injury updates on Sehome’s Santos, Bellingham’s Elliott

September 22nd, 2009

The Sehome football team got some,  bad news this week when it found out Justin Santos will be out for the rest of the season after suffering a fracture across the top of his foot. Santos led the Northwest Conference in rushing last season and had collected 166 yards this year before getting injury. Also a standout wrestler, his status for the wrestling season isn’t known at this point.

I also heard from Bellingham athletic director Brian Smith that senior Hunter Elliott escaped a scary collision on Saturday during the Red Raiders’ game against Lynden without a serious spinal injury. Elliott left the game on a backboard in the back of an ambulance after trying to make a tackle covering a kick. Smith said Elliott has a concussion, but his MRI test results did not show any spinal injury.

It was a scary 20 minutes at Civic Stadium on Saturday while Elliott was on the ground waiting for an ambulance to arrive. It sounds like he’ll be OK, and that’s good news.

Video highlights from Blaine’s win over Ferndale

September 22nd, 2009

Here’s a highlight video shot and edited by a Blaine parent of Blaine’s 28-21 win over Ferndale on Friday, Sept. 18. It’s about 10 minutes long, but it does a great job showing the flow of the game.

By the way, if anybody else is posting highlight films on YouTube of local teams and wants me to link to them, send me the information and I’ll be happy to link it up here.

Enjoy!
