In an incredible season filled with outstanding players, Whatcom Hoops is ranking the top 30 boys. Each day we’ll feature an amazing player in our county and count down until we get to #1. So join us daily as we honor the best of the best.
#7
Gannon Dykstra, junior, Lynden Christian
WHY HE’S #7: The latest all-star in the Dykstra dynasty, Gannon was the rare combination of a scoring point guard (or passing shooting guard). The 6-foot guard was one of the league’s best 3-point shooters averaging 16.1 points a game and one of the league’s best passers averaging 7 assists a game in directing the high-flying Lyncs to a third-place finish at state. Toss in 3.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals a game and you have a first-team all-Northwest Conference all-star and a second-team Class 1A all-state tournament selection.
COACH TIM ZYLSTRA: “He really stepped up as a junior to lead us, and in big games had really big numbers. He directed our offense and when he needed to he stepped up as a scorer. He played great defense too. This year he probably played the most minutes for us. Overall, he’s just a great competitor who has worked tirelessly at his game.”
