Ferndale Ends Lynden Streak With 35-27 Victory

Ferndale ended a two-year wait for a win over Lynden on Friday night, holding off the Lions 35-27 in a rivalry game that came down to a fourth-down touchdown run.

With the game hanging in the balance, Ferndale turned to Lenssen, who powered into the end zone on fourth down to give the Golden Eagles a crucial score and help secure their first victory over Lynden since 2023.

The touchdown capped a physical matchup between two longtime Whatcom County rivals. Ferndale’s offense came through when it mattered most, while the Golden Eagles' defense made enough plays late to keep Lynden from completing a comeback.
