The spring sports season started this week as all Blaine High School teams have competitions scheduled.
The boys soccer team got off to a rough start to the season as it lost 3-0 to Lynden High School at Bender Fields on March 15.
The Borderites withstood a lot of pressure from the physical Lions in the first half, keeping the score to 1-0 at halftime. In the second half, the Blaine defense caved even more. The Borderites gave up two goals within 20 minutes and any chance of a comeback looked out of sight. The boys’ passing did progress into the game and, although down by 3, some quick link-up play created a couple of chances in the Lynden box.
Blaine captain and center back Preston King and goalkeeper Samuel Stiles had busy games.
