Friday night football

Despite high winds, it was a balmy evening by October standards. It was also a great night to be a fan of Anacortes High School football. Although the Hawks went into halftime down one point to Lynden (14-13), the second half started out with a bang. Jason Walters (No. 3, pictured with Coach Ted Beyer on sidelines) placed a punt inside the one yard line early into the third quarter. AHS defense did an awesome job of stuffing Lynden’s offense, and a couple of minutes later Jake Wakeman pushed in for the go-ahead touchdown (bottom photo). Obviously the offense did its job, but it was the Seahawk defense that frustrated Lynden in the second half and forced a couple of key turnovers. A great team effort for a team that has put together just the right combination of skills and emotional play in eacdh game to go 7-0 for the season.
