• Northwest Sports Update: M's fumble early lead to A's, Storm star to miss start of season, new prep sports rules and more (mybellinghamnow.com) — Lynden Christian narrowly avoided being forced up from 1A to 2A after a WIAA amendment targeting larger private schools failed, keeping its current classification for now.
