Steve Yonich earned himself a unique
place in the semi-pro football record book. while playing the Snohomish
County Ramblers September 15, 1974. Yonich played offensive tackle and
was lined as a tackle eligible and caught a six yard touchdown pass for
the first score of the game. Snohomish tied the game at 6-6. Late in the
third quarter, Yonich again lined up as a tackle eligible and caught his
second and game winning touchdown pass of the day. The Lakers won the
game, 12-6.
The 1976 game against the Bengals hinted at
the end of the Laker era as Whatcom suited only 19 players. The game
was shortened to 19 minute quarters with a final 15 minute 4th quarter as
the Bengals outclassed the shorthanded Lakers 46-0.
In 1979, Dan Bunten,
former running back, was hired to coach the backfield at Cornell
University.
