Blake Van Dalen - Lynden High School:
Coach Van Dalen won his first state title defeated reigning champion Tumwater 21-7. This team wasn't a team of superstars but a hard-nosed group who maximized their potential as a team. This is the first state title for Lynden since 2013 when WSFCA Hall of Fame coach Curt Kramme led the Lions to the state championship. Coach Kramme passed away from cancer in 2017. Since that time, Blake has kept the program focused and has been a rock for the team and community after they lost their beloved coach. He also coaches with great sportsmanship.
