Kickoff Classic Preview: King’s vs. Lynden
By Colin Caruso
The second contest in the Emerald City Kickoff Classic will be between the defending 2A champions the Lynden Lions and the only team that took them down in the regular season in 2012, the King’s Knights. Lynden has dominated the 2A classification recently, winning five of the last seven state titles with head coach Curt Kramme at the helm. The Lions will be looking to avenge their only regular season defeat last year, which came to the 1A King’s Knights. King’s made a great run in 2012, reaching the state quarterfinals but losing to the eventual champion Montesano.
These series of games in the Kickoff Classic will be the second set of games in newly renovated Husky Stadium following the Husky opener last Saturday, Aug 31st, in the Dawg’s rout over Boise State. The Lynden – King’s game will take place at 1pm, Saturday Sept 7th. Tickets are $15 at the door and $10 for seniors and students. This will be a great matchup between two teams looking to make a deep run in state in their respective classifications in 2013!
