Lynden Champions of 2008 2A Gridiron Classic
Lynden, WA - In an amazing comeback in the fourth quarter of the state’s 2A Football Championship, the Lynden High School Football team defeats power house Prosser High 35-34. With only 2:22 left in the game and down 21-6, Lynden scored two quick touchdowns to tie the game against the previously unbeaten and defending state champion Prosser Football team.
In double overtime, both teams scored two touchdowns, with the game ending on a missed two point conversion by Prosser. What an amazing ending to a high school championship and especially against a program like Prosser High. They are coached by Tom Moore who’s son Kellen Moore, quarterback’s the Boise State Mustangs who are 12-0, and highly ranked nationally. Kellen’s brother Kirby Moore set state records in receiving this year and is also headed to Boise State next year.
But on this day the Lynden Lions were a better football team and in the end they were crowned Champions of 2A Football. This is the second time Prosser’s season ended with a loss in the state championship to a Whatcom County football team. In 2006 The Ferndale Golden Eagles, led by Jake Locker defeated Prosser and Kellen Moore for the state championship.
Congratulations to the Lynden Lions Football team and coach Curt Kramme on a very exciting year. This is the Lions second state football championship in the last three years, winning the state crown in 2006 as well.
