That’s right, it’s back! For the seventh year in a row, I will be counting down Whatcom County’s Top 100 players from the football season, and this year it will be sponsored by Anytime Fitness!
It was great to witness an amazing season, along with deep playoff runs and hopefully the Top 100 list will continue to bring joy throughout this awesome county of ours!
Unfortunately, if a player was injured for a significant times during the season, he will not be eligible to make the the list. Many players, including Riley Ihde, Hunter Vezzetti, Nevhye Egging, Treven Blair, Wayne Silves and Cooper Herrick are definitely deserving to make the list, but their seasons were drastically shortened due to injuries.
The list will begin counting down on Saturday, December 9th at 9:00 am. Also, there will be three players revealed every day, until we get down to the top five. Good luck to all, and thank you for such a great season!

Nooksack’s Adlei Whitworth is a impressive player who stayed out of the lime light. In the talented Pioneer’s first nine games he played less then half a game of defense in eight games. At this point he was even with all county defensive lineman,Duke Halaapiapi,at fourth leading tackler, behind 1. John Stremler, 2. Colton Lentz, and 3. Damien Perez, credited with 23 solo and 9 assisted tackles. in the first game against the Lynden Christian,as called by the game announcer, he had 5 solo nd 3assisted tackles in less then a half. If there had been room for him to play entie games he surely wuold have compiled impressive , all county like, numbers. keep your eyes open next season, I think he will be out to make a statement. Cheers.
