Voted the
NWFL Most Valuable Player, and Offensive Player of the
Year, Westendorf was the "IT" factor in the 2001 Jets
run to the League Championship where they couldn't
complete the sweep of Multnomah County, losing in
overtime. The lack of a solid and consistent
rushing attack along with a defense that kept the
Bengals around for an overtime game, meant Lance's arm
had to be golden throughout the year.
He set
league records in most major passing categories, topping
his 2000 production while earning AFA and NFE 3rd Team
All-America honors.
