Had far more catches and receiving yards than any other player in Whatcom County, and he did it in less games. His 112 receiving yards per game is the fourth highest in Whatcom County history, for a season. Despite constant double teams, he made plays at every opportunity. Also, a devastating run blocker. Plays like Terrell Owens, without the diva mentality. A defensive ball-hawk at safety. Tremendous anticipation allowed him to blow plays up. Almost had his second defensive touchdown of the season, but it was called back due to a penalty behind the play. He was named the 1A NWC Offensive Player of the Year, and was also named All-Conference 1st Team at defensive back.
