BELLINGHAM - The Ferndale Golden Eagles overcame a wet field and the speedy and determined West Seattle Wildcats to advance to the round of 16 in the WIAA 3A Football Tournament with a 28-21 win in high school football action Saturday night at Civic Field.

With the game tied at 21-21 Ferndale’s Brandon Maarhuis broke through the line on a fourth-and-inches play early in the fourth quarter, found daylight in the West Seattle defensive backfield, and rumbled 31-yards for his third touchdown of the game, giving the Golden-Eagles the 28-21 lead they held for the victory.

Willy Scott contributed heavily for Ferndale with 154 yards on 19 rushing attempts, and added a 38 yard touchdown catch from quarterback Jake Frost early in the first quarter.

MOUNT VERNON – The Ferndale Golden Eagles dropped the Mount Vernon Bulldogs under the lights and rain on Thursday night by a final tally of 31-7. Ferndale’s stingy defense came up with four interceptions, and Willy Scott was dominant on the ground, ripping off three separate runs of 40+ yards en route to a 200+ yard game rushing.

For Mount Vernon, quarterback Jake Weber-Koetje left the game early in the second quarter, as did starting tailback Joe Barrington. Weber-Koetje would return in the second half, hitting Michael Acode in stride for a 52-yard touchdown pass for Mount Vernon’s lone score. Acode ended the game unofficially with ten catches for 150 yards.

The win clinches the NWC 3A championship for the Golden Eagles and will advance them to the playoffs with no need for any tie breakers this weekend.
