( Andy Bronson /Cascadia Daily News) Oak Harbor vs. Ferndale When: 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 28 Where: Ferndale High Ferndale is a dangerously good squad this season. Although the Golden Eagles are stuck in the 3A classification, this roster is capable of making a deep postseason run in the fall. Ferndale has proven its worth by starting the season with a 2-1 record against the top three teams in the Northwest Conference. The Golden Eagles lost three close sets to the 2A defending champion Lynden Lions, snuck a 3-2 victory against Sehome and swept the 1A runner-up Meridian squad. Ferndale’s offense is led by its eight seniors competing at each position on the court. Senior Svetlana Baydak is averaging over four kills per set. Blaine transfer Teia Dube is also adding a couple more kills per set, and setter Brooklyn Larrabee is controlling the offense very well. Oak Harbor began the season with a 3-1 record and looks to defeat its 3A rival in a matchup that can influence the postseason. The Wildcats lost to Squalicum before rallying for wins against Lakewood, Mount Baker and Nooksack Valley. Oak Harbor has a handful of seniors on its front line ready to challenge the Golden Eagles’ talented lineup. However, the Wildcats have yet to test against higher-quality opponents and seem outmatched against Ferndale.
