Jayden Croft scored two rushing touchdowns in the fourth quarter (including the fantastic effort seen above) to cut the Tumwater deficit to just seven points with 4:26 to go. But Lynden wrestled an onside kick attempt away from a pile of T-Birds on the ensuing kick off and finished off the drive with a 30 yard field goal with 1:34 left to play and held on to a 38-28 win in the WIAA 2A state title game at the Tacoma Dome on Saturday afternoon.

ScoreCzar prediction: Lynden 24, Tumwater 21

The big day for Tumwater is here. Can they finish off this undefeated season and avenge last year’s state title loss these same Lynden Lions? Well, not quite the same. Still good, without question, but the Lions have a much different team and were not quite as dominant as last season despite their undefeated record. It should be a great game, don’t miss it.
