• 1:43
  Speaker 2: end of football here. There's still some stuff to sponsor,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and we got winter sports coming up. How do people
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: get a hold of you if they would like to sponsor?
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: The best ways through social media? I get man, I've
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: been getting a messenger to every day now talk asking
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: about sponsors and what they can do, and there's lots
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: of things up in the air. You know, some people
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: say this is what I can afford for the year,
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: what would be best? I just had a sponsored reach
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: out and they want to do as much fast pitch
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: as possible, and that's that's a ways out. That's in
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: spring sometimes, but that's sometimes the way it goes. Sometimes
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: you're you know, you might be coming to the end
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: of your fiscal year, right and you have so much
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: money to spend on sponsoring, so you never know when
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: that happens, and and when you're looking around and looking
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: for something, this is a big thing to jump on.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: So uh so it's really really cool. There's all sorts
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: of options. Uh look for walking preps on social media,
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: send a send a message out, and we can go
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: from there. We could. You know, the best thing I
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: usually do is I just say, you know, here's my
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: phone number, give me a call when when it's a
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: good time, and we can talk about different things. And
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: and we've worked out I've worked out so many different
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: you know, situations with a lot of different companies and
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: to figure out what works best for both parties, and
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: we just go from there. And obviously the goal in
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: mind is to keep this going and and to grow
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: it to where I can you know, maybe have a
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: staff someday and just kind of keep it, keep it
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: all going and flowing and and get every single sport,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: every single athlete covered, you know, eventually I want every
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: every athlete to have their own web page on here,
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: even kind of like a database where you can you
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: could find them. You could look at all their accomplishments
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: and you could, I mean just see all sorts of stuff.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: Maybe I'll reach out to them and ask them goofy
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: questions like you know, who's your favorite music artist, who's
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: your favorite whatever, and it could have like an all
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: about them page. I mean, you know, that's just kind
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: of the way this thing is going. And so many
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: people are so positive about it. I mean, even when
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: I was in the hospital visiting Laura, you know, I
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: was wearing my Walking Preps hoodie and and someone who
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: worked there goes, oh, walk the Preps. You know, I
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: love Walking Preps. Thank you so much for wearing their gear.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, I am Walking Preps. And she's like,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: you're Tyler, and I said yeah. And she has a
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: daughter that plays on the Seahome Girls soccer team, you know,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: and it's and she just she just thought it was
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: the coolest thing. So it's so neat. I mean, every
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: time I'm going out, I'm meeting new people, and people
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: really want to rally and get behind Walking Preps and
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: and that's the best way to do it. That's you know,
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: it's all community driven, and you know, they'll never be
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: a paywall on the website. And if we can just
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: continue that going together and then it'll be it'll bring
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: about some big things.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Did Uh did she at least, like, you know, get
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Laura a room with a view or something.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: No, I was on my way out. She was kind
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: of in a hurry, and I didn't. But but it's
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: funny because she is somebody that I did communicate with
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: before because I I actually pronounced her daughter's name incorrectly.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: I said the last name was Ross instead of Moss,
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: and so did I did remember her. So but she
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: was very very complimentary with I love what you do,
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: just so you know it's it's Moss not Ross. And
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: uh and i'd been fixed ever since and and uh,
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: yeah it was really cool.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: So yeah, if you got anybody that wants to sponsor,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: anybody that you know that might be a good line
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: for a sponsor, let those people know how to get
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: a hold of Tyler. And yeah, Tyler will take care
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: of the rest. Tyler, We've got seven games to talk about.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: We've got Randy Small's weather forecast, the pick'ems and fantasy.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: So let's get right into the games. And there is
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: a Thursday night game this week. As a matter of fact,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: if you're hearing this like kind of when it came out,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: there's a game here in a few hours. I mean,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: we're kind of in the thick of it here, if
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: you will. Marysville Pilchuck, the Tomahawks are one and six.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: They are headed to town to take on the Bellingham BayHawks,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: also one and six. That's seven pm in Civic Stadium, Tyler,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: you're gonna head out there for that one.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: It's a strong possibility. Thursdays are usually very busy nights
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: as far as other sports as well. I mean, every
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: all ten soccer teams will be in action, There'll be
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: some volleyball games, So it really depends on what I
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: can do. I would like to because then I could
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: take stats right there, maybe get the story done that night,
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: kind of get a head start on the weekend. But
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: it's a fifty to fifty shot. We'll have to see.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: But this one's one where boy, I've seen Marysville Pilchuck
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: three times, and every time I was really impressed with
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: their running game. I would never have thought they'd be
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: one and six at this point. I know they got
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: shut out by Burlington last week, so I'm not too
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: sure what's going on there if there's injuries or whatever.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: But right now they're year Tyler twenty two thirteen over
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Marysville Getchel and that was basically a month ago.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna say that would have been early.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: You know, they lost to see them by one touchdown.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: They were beating Lindon at halftime.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: This is a team that when I saw them early on,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: it looked really impressive, very much so running the ball.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: I would expect them to run, run, run quite a bit.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: But right now they're kind of trending down. Bellingham has
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: been trending up. I mean for them to you know,
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: they you know, to lose by just one score at
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Burlington is really impressive for them to you know, play,
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: you know, they they played a really good game against
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Sea Home where for most of the game it was
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: a one score game. I think going in the fourth
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: quarter was a one score game. So they are on
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: the right direction right now. And this is one of
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: those games where, you know, a Thursday night game sometimes
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: if you're a road team that's you know, Marysville that's
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: not right down the road. I mean they have to
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: travel a little bit and play on a school night.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: I think that really play. I mean, for the most part,
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: you know, home field advantage, I don't play. I don't
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: put too much into it for high school football, except
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: for there's a few places that are just kind of
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: weird like that, like Burlington is is kind of weird.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: It's kind of crazy like that, where they just play
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: really really well at home, but when it's this far
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: far away and it's a school night, I really think
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: that can you know, kind of favor Bellingham by three
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: or four just right there, and the way that Bellingham's
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: been playing right now, I really like their chances. I mean,
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: their their defense has been great, They're very good against
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: the run. They're gonna be outsized by by the Tomahawks,
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: but you know they have a you know, they're they're
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: getting guys back in the secondary. If they happen to
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: break a squirt through a run where they break through everybody,
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: they'll have guys back there that can make the play.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: You know, if they can get Mary'sville Pilchuck into some
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: third and sevens, third and eights, that's where they can
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: win the game. Because their passing game is there's not
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: a ton to speak about there. I mean, I've seen them.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: You know, attempt a lot of not a lot, but
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: in their first three games, and it did not look great.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: So that's not what they want to do. Like I
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: said of bell you know, if Tyler Frost and those
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: kind of guys can get in there and make plays
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: that the line of scrimmage, are even behind the line
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: of scrimmage and cause some third and lungs and get
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: them to want to throw, that's really going to play
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: in Bellingham's favor. And Bellingham's been doing a lot of
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: different things on offense. I mean, you've seen them move
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: Joe Harward all around. It was started quarterbacks, then he
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: went to wid wide receiver. He played a bunch of
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: running back last week. It's just finding creative ways to
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: get him the ball. And they're probably just gonna keep
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: doing that. And you know they they like to go
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: It almost seems like every every not form format, every
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: uh man, what's the word. Every time they get the ball,
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: every possession they they they go out and it's a
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: different formation than you've seen earlier. Since earlier that game.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: You know, they'll go out and you know, single back,
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: you know, uh slot guy, emotion, one tight end and
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: then the next formation will go out with like double
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: tight and two full backs to one side. Then they'll
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: go out and like you know, like run and shoot. Look,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: you know, they they kind of do. They do a
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: lot of different things, and it just kind of depends
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: on the time in the game and maybe some personnel
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: stuff going on or who's tired or whatever. Hey let'slet's
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: get this guy. Let's rest him for a little bit,
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: so we can go double tight here. We only need
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: one receiver for that type thing. You know, they can
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: go into the wildcat a bunch. So they do a
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: lot of different things. So sometimes then they'll find something
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: that they like and they'll just just lean on that.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: So I really kind of like what they've been doing.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Still haven't gotten a conference win. This would be a
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: good chance for that, So it should be a good
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: one at Civic Stadium on Thursday night. Like I said,
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I'm going to be able to
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: be there or not. I really want to go. I
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: have to look at the full schedule for Thursday night
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: and see if I can get some of these people
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: that have been helping me photography wise, see if I
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: can get them to go take pictures at a few
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: games and maybe I'll be able to be there.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Marysville Pilchuck Bellingham seven pm Civic Stadium on Thursday, first
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: of six games. On Friday, Lakewood two and five the
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Cougar's coming to town to take on Linden. That they
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: are six and one, right and high after a big
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: win over Archbishop Murphy last week. That is seven pm
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: at really the cost field at Lyndon High School.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: Tyler, Yeah, Linden. You know, playing at home is always
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: always a big, big thing. The band, the community, everything
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: is going to be going crazy. And they've had so
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: many of these close games in a row following that
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: their only loss of the season to Ana Chordus, It's
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: been you know, it's been the Seahome and the Squalkum
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: and the Archbishop Murphy that were all a touchdown or less,
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: you know, difference. You know, they've all been six points
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: or less, and and this one will be a little different.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: I think they'll be able to kind of, you know,
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: not sit back and relax a little bit. But I
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: think if they just play their game, things should take
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: care of themselves. I would think that Max Osink will
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: get you know, fifteen to twenty carries kind of get
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: him going a little bit. I don't think they're going
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: to run Brent Hepner as much. You know, he ran
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: twenty four times last week in the MUDs in the
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: mud storm, and they really needed his legs to do
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: a lot and and you know, I just don't think
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: that if you don't need that to happen. I wouldn't
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: be surprised if they don't have one designed for design
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: to run for him the entire game. Like I don't
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: think he had one in the Mariner game, you know,
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: and then he didn't and then he came out of
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: the game like in the third quarter. But I kind
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: of see this going like that. I think Lakewood's quarterback
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: got injured earlier in the year. I think I was
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: at that game. It was against Squalkum and they had
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: a freshman come in who he's you know, he threw
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: some good passes and stuff like that, but right away
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: you could see that it was he wasn't ready for
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: the Friday night lights just yet. I mean, it's been
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: a few games now, so he's probably doing a little
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: bit better. And I don't know if maybe a different
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: upperclassman has stepped in and played quarterback since then, But
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: I know they've been struggling ever since their quarterback got hurt.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: And that's you know, there's a lot of teams out
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: there that if their quarterback gets hurt, that's a completely
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: different team out there.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Yea.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: And so you know that could be what's going on
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: with the Cougars right now. It's hard to say because
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: I just don't follow them like I do the Walking
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: County teams. But Linden right now is you know, I
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: think this is a good game for them to to really,
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: you know, work on some stuff, maybe try some things
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: that they haven't been able to try this year, but
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: not not try anything kind of crazy that they don't
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: want another team to see. But you know, they could
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: say like, you know, we haven't done this yet and
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: I really wanted to do this at some point this year.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: This is the time to do it kind of stuff.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: And you know the defenses will be riding high from
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: their big game last week. Yeah, it's just everything points
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: to Linden in this one.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Lakewood Linden seven pm, Roally. The cost for field on
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Friday squal them four and three see home five and
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: two seven pm where else Civic Stadium, Tyler.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is the this will be a great game.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, this is the one that we kind of
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: talked about maybe, you know, maybe three or four weeks ago,
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: saying this could end up being the game for that
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: final round of thirty two spot and lo and behold,
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: now we're here, and that's what it's looking like this.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: It looks like the winner of this game will take
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: that fourth spot, you know, unless something crazy happens and
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Burlington can start running the table and who knows, but
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: that's kind of what it looks like right now. You know.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: I remember talking to Blake Van Dalen back in August
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: and we were looking at the schedule and he's like,
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: look at this, and he showed me his computer and
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: he like used his finger and he like circled this game.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: He's like, for this game to be played this late
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: in the season. I love it because this is these
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: are two teams that have played really well over the
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: last few years but just haven't had that opportunity to
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: play in the postseason, and now they're going to have
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: that chance late late in year. I mean, he was
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: so jacked up about it, and these are two teams
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: that aren't even his teams. He just he was just
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: excited about the opportunity that some of these other Northwest
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: Conference teams were going to be able to get now
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: and his what he foresaw is really you know, coming
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: to happen now and and talk about two teams that
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: you know, I mean Blake knows, I mean they both
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: you know, easily could have had wins against his program. So,
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: you know, Squalalkum has been playing really well, much better
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: than they did last year. I really liked what Cole
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Burke has done at quarterback. You know, Anton Osby Ornson
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: has really stepped up his game as a receiver. Lackey
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: Fungatua has played awesome. The line's been better. There's just
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: been so many things to like about the Squalicum program.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: And you know, they're very opportunistic on defense. They are
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: always a threat in the return game. There's just there's
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: so many good things to like right now and See
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Home and there's these tie ins. You know, Jordan Shalfont,
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: former See Home defensive coordinator, now he's a Squalicum defensive coordinator.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: You know, coach Young at Seahome, he was an assistant
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: under Lucy for for you know, eight or nine years
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: or whatever it was. So there's a lot of you know,
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: things that kind of tie in here between the two schools,
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: which is always fun. These kids know each other extremely well,
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: Seaholme's see them right now, is clicking extremely well. I
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: mean their offense is really really doing some damage. You know,
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: you got your quarterback and your receiver that are both
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: the all times you know, school record holders and touchdown
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: passes and touchdown receptions. So that's a great combination to have.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: You know, when I was growing up, it was you know,
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: it was Montana and Rice, you know, and then young
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: and Rice broke that record. Then it was Manning and Harrison,
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: you know, as far as the two guys that connected
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: for the most touchdowns and and and that's kind of
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: what you know, this is like. And I think, you know,
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to remember maybe who it is in Walking County.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: I think Zach Slesk and Mitchell Tripp connected for you know,
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: maybe forty touchdowns thirty five to forty touchdowns in their career.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: But right and Watson are right there, you know, with
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: I think at thirty three. So it's a that's a
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: great combination. But it's been other guys too, I mean,
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: Colby Chambers has been great, Solomon McAllister has been great,
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Bio Quiggle has been great, The line's been awesome. The
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: defense for for for see them is that they're running.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: They're kind of running like a I don't know if
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: you want to call like a like a four to
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: two five almost it's been a different defense that they
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: ran a three four forever. And so they found some
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: things that they like with their personnel and and see,
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: hom's a team that if man, if they get into
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: the round of thirty two, they they yeah, they could
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: go to a place, they could you know, be on
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: the road and steal a win there and then get
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: into the tournament. And uh, they're just they have so
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: much talent. They and I think a lot of them
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: have been looking to this year as you know, as
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: a possible you know, breakout year. And and thank goodness
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: for the round of thirty two because I just like
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: that they're getting the best teams in and it's a
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: good way to do it, and they're gonna they're gonna
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: show some people, and especially if they get this win
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: here and then they got Archbishop after that, and again
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: that's gonna be a that's gonna be a Thursday game.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: A team comes up from aways on a school night.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: You never know, So Halloween's spooky, ghoulish, whatever you want
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: to say. I mean, we'll talk about that next week.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: But I'm not surprised if could take one there too,
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: so and then that would throw a wrench in all
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: sorts of other things. But but right now, see home,
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: squalic them. It's gonna be an awesome game. I know
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: that one will be on the radio. I know Coach
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Wood will be there. It was an amazing game last year.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: I think it was thirty eight thirty four or something
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: like that. So yeah, really really exciting, really excited for
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: this one, and I can't wait to see how it
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: plays out.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Squaal come see home seven pm at Civic Stadium on Friday.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Sedro Woolley six and one the Cubs. They are headed
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: up to Ferndale to take on the Golden Eagles three
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: and four on the season seven PM game on Friday night.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Senior Night at Ferndale. It's been a struggle so far,
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Ferndale only one of two teams in Walkome County with
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: a sub five hundred record. It's just kind of weird
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: to say, especially this late in the season. But and
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: like I like we said earlier. You know, we haven't
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: talked about Segre all year. You know, them jumping up
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: to the West, go three A North now being a
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: three A team, and you know it's hard to say
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: where they would be if they would still be in
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: the two A right now. I think they'd be right
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: in that mix of the things within that for that
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: fourth place spot. But from what I've heard about Sigea
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: Woolie is it's kind of the same old Cubs. You know,
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: it's it's a lot of running the football. But they
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: got a quarterback that can really throw right now, so
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: that's her. Yeah, So I'm really curious to see how
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: like their percentage is it more is it eighty twenty
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: still or is it more like, uh, you know, two
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: thirds one third type thing. I don't know, So I'm
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: really curious to see. I haven't watched any film on
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: stage Woolie at all. I just know that Ferndale they
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: haven't been been at home now for a few weeks.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: I think they're they really want to get this win, obviously,
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: and hopefully everyone's healthy and they know they've been They've
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: been missing some key guys the last couple of weeks,
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: and and uh, and this is a this is a
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: matchup that used to be every single year, you know,
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: going back to the sixties. I mean this was this
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: was a league game forever and then they and then
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: it wasn't In twenty sixteen. They did play each other
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: during that little shortened COVID year where they played like
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: four or five games. They did play each other that year.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: That was you know, teams are just trying to find
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: opponents and you know, nothing really count counted, but they
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: did play each other that year. But but yeah, this
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: was always a big game. There was a little moment
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: of time in the late two thousand's early twenty tens
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: when Sidro and Squalak, them and Ferndale were all three
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: A teams, so they all had to play each other
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: once and it was kind of like, well, whichever team
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: you know went to and oh would be in the
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: playoffs to play like some sort of playing games. So
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: that was Those were always important games back then. I
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: think this game could go really fast, a lot of handoffs,
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: you know, one of those where you know, you blink
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: your eyes and all of a sudden halftime. So that'll
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: that'll be something. There was a nineteen game winning streak
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: that Ferndale had over cidraw Willie at one point from
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: ninety four to twenty twelve, so there was a lot
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: of dominance on Ferndale's side at one time. I think
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: this will be a great game. I mean, Sidro, they're
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: hard to figure out because they were undefeated and then,
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: like you said, they lost to Mount Vernon and who
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: knows what happened. I mean I would I would imagine
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: even though and I don't know where the game was at,
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: but both teams have turf fields. I don't know how
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: much the weather played a factor because weather can do
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: some weird stuff in some of in games, and you
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: just don't know. But at the same time, you look
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: at Ferndale what they did against Mount Vernon, and they
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: beat Mount Vernon. That was one of their three wins,
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: although it was in overtime, So who knows, you know,
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: I just don't know enough about what happened in Are
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: they missing guys or were they missing guys? They're gonna
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: be coming back, you know. Ferndale will be up for
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: this one, like I said, last home game of the year,
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: so this should be a really good one. And this
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: was the matchup that I think at least for me,
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: and I don't know about other people, but but for me,
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: I looked at this one being this could be, you know,
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: for the West Go three a North title. That's what
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: I thought going into it. Now it's not playing out
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: that way, but still I think that, you know, a
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: lot of things can happen. I mean, Si dro if
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: Ferndale wins this one, I think Sidro can go from
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: first to third maybe, and then you got to worry
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: about play ins and you know Thursday nights Saturday plans
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: are all sorts of crazy, yeah, you know, crossover type stuff.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: So we'll have to see what happens. Well, I'm sure
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: we'll get into it a lot more next week with
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: all the possibilities. But h but this should be a
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: really good one. Like I said, get get there on time,
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: because you know, you get there at seven to ten
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: or something, it might already be the second quarter. This
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: game's going to move fast.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: So Tyler, I'm looking the quarterback Cliff. His first off,
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: his name's Cliff, which in this day and age is
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: just wild ted day.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: What I really want to know is it short for
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: Clifford or heath Cliff.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know that's interesting, very good question. I might
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: actually be able to get a name through for you
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: on that. Ta d E. M A is his last
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: name and says here, through five games he had thrown
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: for one thousand and sixty one yards.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: I mean that is not Siger Willie football. So no,
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: I guess they are throwing a little bit more. I
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: would say, yeah, yeah, that's that's cool. A little bit
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: of a shocker, I mean yeah, yeah, wow. Anyway, Yeah,
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: Cedar Wally Ferndale at seven pm at Ferndale on Friday,
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: Knuksack Valley six and one. They go back out on
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: the road. Seems like it's been a little bit since
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: they've left the county. Uh when you consider how many
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: miles they put on to begin the year. Knuksack Valley though,
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: six and one, four and three Montseno, that is a
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: seven pm game down at Montseno High School. Yeah, Bona
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: seeno always. I mean, they just have a great program.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: I mean they're one of those teams that you people
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: know around the state, Like seems like they're always in
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: the playoffs and they've just always been good. I mean
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: I remember games back in like Meridians big time heyday,
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: like late nineties early two thousands, and remember covering a
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: game when they were playing a first round playoff game
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: against Montiseano. This is back when I didn't know much
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: about the rest of the state at all, and I'm
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: working for the Harold and I'm just some young punk
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: and they sent me out to the Meridian playoff game.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, yeah, you know, I'm Aridni will stomp them.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: And I go out there and Montisana won and I
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: was like, oh, like they had Adam big Hill, Oh yeah,
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: and you might know they might still be playing right, Yeah,
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: it wasn't in the CFL forever.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like when you say CFL legend, like Big Hill.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: Is end, like he is a guy and so he
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: was a running back linebacker on that team. And I
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: was just like, holy cow, like this team is tough,
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: like they they just really I don't know, it just
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: it really struck me. And ever since then, Montisana was
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: always kind of on my radar, and it seems like
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: they've always given walking kind of teams fits a little bit,
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: and so it doesn't surprise me that they're four and three.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: You know. I talked to coach Bartell a little bit
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: at a volleyball game this week, and he's like, yeah,
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: he goes, they're they're good and I and I think
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: he likes that because, you know, you don't want to
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: travel all that way for your starters to play a half,
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like, yeah, there was a
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: lot of times in the last couple of years where
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: they traveled quite a bit for kind of a game
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: where it just you know, it's like, man, like, we
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: don't want to schedule these, but it's hard to get
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: teams to play us, and so this is a great
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: game for them. They're three and zero in the conference,
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: so they've basically secured a playoff spot. So this is
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: kind of a nice like you can sit back and
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: relax a little bit, but you don't want this to
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: be a trap game. You don't want to overlook them
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: and you're looking at Lynn and Christian for next week's
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: you know, conference finale, so I don't, you know, as
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: long as they got them up for this one. Still,
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: it's kind of a cool thing because it's kind of
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: the last like big road trip for these seniors. A
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: lot of these seniors played a lot even as freshmen.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: You talk in the Colton Lands, Brady Ackman CORIONI Evan Bravo.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: These guys played quite a bit as freshmen and some
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: of them two way starters, and now that being seniors,
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: you know, this is this is a good time to
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: just reflect and have that last big bus ride and
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: and uh, I know they're listening to this, going, hey,
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: We're gonna have more bus rides in the playoffs. Baby, Okay,
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: well you know what I mean, regular season by bus
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: ride and just and just have fun and and and
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: take care of business, you know, business like get the
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: job done, come back and and yeah, it's gonna be exciting.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: These two teams have only played played played each other twice.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: I was kind of shocked when I saw that. I
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: thought maybe they played each other in the playoffs a
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: little bit here and there, but you know, they did
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: a home and home in twenty four twenty fourteen, and
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: twenty fifteen, each picking up a win and and so yeah,
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: so it's it's been a while since they've played each other,
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: but the Bulldogs have always been tough, and so I'm
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: I'm really excited about this one because you know, Mona
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: s know is probably one of those teams it's gonna
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: you know, get in the postseason for one A and
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: it's nice to get a little view of them here
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: because they might run into a walking kind of team
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: down the road again.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: So just looking it up, Tyler. Adam big Hill still
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: playing with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, although his season came
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: to an end in September with a knee injury, but
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: thirty six years old, still playing in the Canadian Football
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: League and still playing at a high level too. I
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: mean last year he had almost eighty tackles. I mean
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: it's pretty dang good for thirty six years old playing
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: middle linebacker there.
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: That's awesome. I love it.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough to do in that league with how
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: much run and gun they have. You know, right right
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: by the way, Tyler, I forgot to tell you, Manta
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: say no. Jack rottel Field is the name of this Yeah.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: I saw that on Google Maps, and I know sometimes
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: you can't always trust on the maps what they say,
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: but yeah, that's good to know Jack rottel Field. And
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: I'm sure that at some point you'll find out who
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: Jack rottel is.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I can tell you right here.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Jack rottel was born in Elma, moving to Montisano in
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: nineteen forty. He graduated from Monasano High School nineteen fifty two.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Let's see here. He was on the city council, served
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: a mayor for two terms. Jack owned and operated Rottal's
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: department store in downtown Montiseno. It looks like he was
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: just a guy that loved Montisano.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say, I mean, and.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Then it says two bits, four bits, six bits a
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: dollar all from Monty. Stand up and holler yeah. It
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: looks like he's He was born in nineteen thirty four,
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: passed away in nineteen ninety one. I've been to one game. Oh, oh,
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: here you go. Jack's voice resonated as he famously announced
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: football and basketball games and umpired baseball games.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: Oh he was a PA guy.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, PA guy for Monasana. It looks like gotcha. I've
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: been to one game at Jack Rottlefield, and Monasana wasn't
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: even playing. It was Almiracoulie Heartline in Nasel. It was
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: an eight man football playoff game back in twenty seventeen.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: I believe it was.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Fun place to watch a game, though, I mean, even
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: though it wasn't. You know, the Monticeno like it was.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: It's like an old kind of like, well it's new
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: because it did burn down, I believe. But it's like
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: a wooden stadium and or like a wooden roof, you know,
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: and it's kind of lower and it's kind of loud,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: and there's no seats on the other side. And that's
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: pretty cool place.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: But awesome.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Nooksack Valley, Montseeno. That's seven pm down in Montiseeno
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Jack Rottlefield. It is at the high school Lennon Christian
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Meridi and we get into the one A conference here.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Lennon Christian four and three Meridian five and two. That's
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: a seven pm game at Meridian High School.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: Tyler, Well, this is just one where I you know,
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: it's going to be so hard to pick a winner
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: in this one. I mean, it's just it's so tricky.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: This was a game where even before the season started,
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: I was thinking about this game because I just had
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: this suspicion that you know, Nuksak was kind of the kind.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: Of the they.
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: Had like a little head up on everybody, and I thought,
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: I know that three are getting in, but I think
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: that you know this, I think that I just thought
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: the importance of this game could mean a lot as
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: far as you know, winning, you're in type feeling of it,
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: and you know it's it's I just I can't you know,
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: make heads or tails of it because when I when
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: I when I look at it, they're the two probably
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: the two most balanced teams in the conference, you know,
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: to be frank, I think it's the two best quarterbacks
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: in the conference. Just talking the one a's here, you
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: know what I mean. Like it's the two head coaches
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: are also the track head coaches. They know each other
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: really well.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Through that.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: There's just some really cool things about this matchup. And
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: and you know, Elsie has kind of given it to
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: Meridian a little bit in years past. But but so
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: d Baker to Meridian and then Meridian turned around and
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: beat Baker. It was the first time Patrick Ames had
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: beat coach left. It was the first. It was the
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: first time. And and uh so this like, you know,
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: this Meridian team is a little bit different. And right now,
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: I mean, I I noticed, you know, Xavier parent didn't
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: didn't play last week, I you know, and that's going
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: to be if he if he's back, and that's that's
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: a huge help for them because he's very good in
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: the in defending the past. And if you're a linebacker
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: against Lennon Christian, you you have to be able to defend,
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: you know, especially like if you're in zone, like they
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: like to just sit in the zone. I mean, you know,
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: lynnin Christian is very good at finding openings and then
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: Eli Mayburry could just hit their guy when they need to.
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: So you have to be ready for that kind of stuff.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: And Meridians linebackers usually they liked the blitz a little bit.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: You know, Kelly Gray is coming up the middle. He's
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: not dropping back a ton, you know, landing down, he's
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: coming off the edge, He's not dropping back a ton.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: They might have to change their game plan a little
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: bit in this one. It's going to be really interesting
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: to see what they do. These are also two teams
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: that really open up the playbook and will show some
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: unique stuff. I mean, you know, I saw a bunch
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: of you know, statue of liberty plays that ELC had
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: last week. You know, the first one caught me so
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: off guard. I was watching, I was at the game
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: when it happened, and you know, I'm I'm kind of
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: my vision is blocked a little bit, but I could
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: I had no clue who had the ball until haul
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: of someone was already ten yards down the field, and
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: it was just one of those like I can't wait
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: to see on film because I have no clue how
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: he got that ball. And when I watched the film,
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: I saw it was a staff actually liberty type play
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: and I was like, oh my goodness, Uh that's you know,
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: you just don't see that very often. And they ran
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: it a few more times in the second half, and
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: Baker was ready for it at that time. But you know,
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: they just they they both do stuff like that, like
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: Meridian will you know, they got the hook and ladder,
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: they got you know, they do all sorts of crazy stuff, uh,
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: tackle eligible and double passes and and I just think,
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: you know, if the weather holds up, this could be
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: a really really close game. I think it's gonna come
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: down to a field goal at the end. I just
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: I just have that sneaky suspicion. And if Meridian does
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: win this that, you know, then they're then there. They
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: would be tied, I believe in conference record, and Meridian
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: would hold that slight edge because they have the win
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: and that's in the head to head.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just holy cow and that you know there
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: there could be a lot of crazy things that could
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: happen going into it. And we're jumping ahead a little bit
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: or I am and I don't.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Want to do that.
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: Don't no, no, let's throw you up, but don't stuff here.
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: No no no. But you know, Meridian playing at home again,
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: you know, a home field advantage. I don't really play
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: into that too much, especially with you know, Lynden Christians
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: right down the road. So uh but man, this is
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: just gonna be an awesome game. I you know, Mikayla
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: will be out covering this one. She picked a great
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: one to go to. Mikayla, if you're listening, go there early.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: Get a burger. They have Austin Burgers there. Trust me,
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: it's worth it. And yeah, it's just you know, it's
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: it's a great it's a great place to watch a game.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: You know, you've been there. It's it's just it's a
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: really a great feeling of small town high school football.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: And this is gonna it's gonna be a packed house too.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: And parking can kind of be kind of tricky at
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: Meridian and there's not a ton of spots like sometimes
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: people are parking at the church down the road, and
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: you know it's just so get there early, get get
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: your burger, and get your seat, and get ready because
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: it's just gonna be If you just you know, if
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: you just want to see a good football game too,
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: this place is gonna be packed. It is gonna be
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: awesome game.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Meridian hosting Lyndon Christian at seven pm on Friday night,
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: the final game of the weekend. At least, as far
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: as our show sheet goes. Blaine five and two headed
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: out to Deming to take on Mount Baker. They are
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: four and three seven pm Bob Tisdale Field. That Tyler,
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: this one should be a fun one.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, this is another one where, uh you know,
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: this is the oldest rivalry in Walking County. Nineteen thirty
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: one is when they first started playing each other, and
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: they play each other twice that year, and Baker got
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: them both times, and then Blaine got them the next year,
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: and I.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Mean it'd be over by seven thirty one, Tyler. All
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: teams are running the ball like they do.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: You're yeah, you're right, you're right. There's another one where
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: the ball will not be in the air a whole.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: This will be This will be a lot of great
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: line play. Here, two really good lines tackle to tackle.
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I'm really curious because Baker's they're pretty darn
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: good at if they're playing a team that has a
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: superstar player, like we'll just say one guy that really
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: stands out right, they are pretty good at that. You know.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: It's if you got if you got like three or
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: four guys that kind of you know, where you have
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: to kind of you know, pick your poison type thing.
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: That's sometimes when they can struggle a little bit. But
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: if you're if you're a one trick pony, and I
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: hate using that term, but you know what I mean,
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: Like if you have a big.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Time Blaine is just a one trick pony. But their
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: offense runs through Jade and Piez. Right, they highly feature him, right,
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: they really feature him quite a bit. And they're really
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: good at just, you know, devising a game plan to
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: stop one player. So Blaine's gonna have to figure out
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: if things aren't working. I mean they might, but if things.
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: Aren't working, they're gonna have to really dig around and go, Okay,
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: maybe we should throw in some play action. Maybe, you know,
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: maybe we should you know, put two backs in the backfield,
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: you know, and just try different things. I mean they
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: have Colby Ship as well, who's ran for over a
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: thousand yards in his career. I mean there's no you know,
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: there's no doubt that he's he's a dude.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: And wild to think about run for a thousand in
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: his career and you know, now here he is. And
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: Jaden Piaz is running for a thousand this year you know,
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: oh yeah.
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah he's over Yeah, he's almost a twelve hundred. So
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: it is it is crazy. I mean, Pia's just really
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: took that leap. I mean he was pretty good last
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: year and but this year he has really just jumped.
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: I mean he wasn't even on the top one hundred list.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when you talk about guys that have made like
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: the biggest improvement, yeah, like you know what, I call it,
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: like most improved, but which always think sounds stupid because
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: it's not like he just got better, like he was
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: a great athlete last year. You know, it's just yeah,
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: it's all worked out better, you know what I mean?
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well there is that I would say the lines
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: better for sure, but he really hit the weight room
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: and the whole. A lot of those guys did, they
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: really committed to it over the off season. I know
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: coach Olsen, you know, would get up early, go down
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: there early before school, open it up, make sure. And
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: he was he's trying to build that program that that way,
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: and Paya's got bigger, stronger, and faster, and it just
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: all kind of happened together. But they might have to
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: figure out some other kinds of things because and you
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: got to watch out for Colin Davis because he's he
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: is a dual threat kind of guy. He can run,
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: he can really run. The big thing with Blaine right
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: now is there's still there's still some mishandled snaps too.
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: And so if you're in the shotgun, you know ninety
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: nine percent of the time, which Blaine is, you got
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: to get those snaps good every single time because you
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: can't afford to, you know that. You know, even even
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: in those games that they were blowing blowing teams out,
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: they would they would lose the ball one or two
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: times a game on a bad snap.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute, did play center?
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what's he going over there?
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Coach? Come on, get it together.
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: That's true. And I sat down with Colin Davis tonight
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: at the volleyball game and we talked a lot about it,
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: you know, and he's feeling pretty good. He actually gave
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: me a ton of advice with photography. I had my
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: camera there and he's like, well, what if you put
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: it on manual mode and you tried this, and you
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: you and you did this and you and you changed
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: the ISO did this? I have no clue about photography.
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: He was showing me all this stuff. And he's just
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: a great kid. Yeah, exactly so. And he was taking
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: pictures at the game too, So uh, he's just a
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: I don't know, he's just when he's one of those
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: kids you know we talked about like that with Corey
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: only like guys that are just easy to talk to
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: and and uh yeah, just a great, great kid that
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: And I told him, I was like, it's it's tough
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: playing at Baker, Man, It's it's a it's a different animal.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: He's like, oh, I know. And Baker's kind of had
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: their number. I mean even last year, like you know,
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: Baker had a rough season. You know, Blaine Blaine beat
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: Meridian and Baker had a tough one against Meridian, but
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: they but they wipe Blaine out. I mean they got
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: him by like thirty five or forty it's just it's
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: it's been one of those things where Baker's just kind
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: of had Blaine's number over the years, and so that
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: that that's gonna be It might have might be a
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: tough thing for some of the border rights guys to
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: overcoming their heads, but it's been a different kind of season,
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: and so I expect a really really good game here.
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: You know, if Blaine wins this and and then they
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: play Meridian in the final week, who they beat last year.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: You know, if Elsie beats Meridian, and then Blaine beats Meridian,
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: now you're taught, and I mean, you know, and then
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: Nooksac beats I mean, there could be like a three
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: way tie per third. I mean, yeah, there's a lot
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: of stuff which we kind of thought would happen. Like
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: we thought, okay, we talked about it like three weeks ago. Yeah,
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: We're like, you know, if this team has this team's number,
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: that they have this team's number, and it could all
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: beat each other and we'll just have to wait and
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: see till I guess that point. But you know, and Baker,
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: who's zero and three in conference play but still a
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: really good team, still hard to believe they haven't had
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: a rushing touchdown in any of those conference games. They're
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: scoring points in all of them, and they're not losing
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: by much. It's just it's just it's just one of
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: those weird anomalies. And but you know, last home game
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: of the year, Senior night, Yeah, you know, Baker's gonna
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: be ready for this one. This should be an awesome game.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: Blaine Mount Baker, seven pm, Bob Tisdale Field in Deming.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: That's it for the seven games, Tyler, Let's head out
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: and talk to Randy Small. Find out what the weather
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: is going to be like at these games. Randy Small
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: Watcom County Weather. You can search that on Facebook or
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: backslash Watcom County Weather. You can also find his website
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: Watcombe countywx dot com. Yeah, we got seven games to
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: talk about it here take it away.
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: Hey, everybody, this is Randy Smallwakin County Weather. And the
• 42:06
  Speaker 5: weather looks a lot better than it did last week
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: for those games that especially rainy on Friday night last week.
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: It was kind of miserable as I was out taking
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: pictures in it. But this weekend or this week looks
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: a lot better. The Thursday night game with Bellingham or
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: I think that's a civic field should be dry. It'll
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: be cool on the cool side, maybe around fifty degrees
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: at kickoff Friday night games. I think also will probably
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: remain dry. Again, doing this a couple of days ahead,
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: but it looks like the storm system inbound is gonna
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: hold off until later Friday night. I suppose we have
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: to put a chance of rain on the table, but
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: I'm thinking as of now it's gonna stay dry. I'll
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: probably hopefully not eat those words, but that's the forecast
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: for now. There could be some light northeast wind still
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: left over from Friday during the day, especially in the
• 42:53
  Speaker 5: outflow areas like Linden, but probably by the water. There
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: could be also some southerly so but I don't think
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: either of that is going to be too strong. So
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: overall should be in the low fifties at kickoff for
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: both nights, and I'm saying now it'll be dry on
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: both of those nights. Have a great weekend or week
• 43:12
  Speaker 5: following your favorite teams.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: Thank you to Randy again. You can find him online

  Speaker 2: him on Twitter at Randy small Tyler. Let's get into
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: the pick'ms here and our guests this week. We don't
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: have to go very far back. A man that had
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: to himself quite the mullet for a while there, big,
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: big fella, it's Camden Raymond, former Ferndale athlete, one of
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: my favorite offensive, defensive just downright ugly lineman. Just awesome
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: kid though also pretty dang good baseball player if I
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: can remember right.
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's over down at Edmonds College right now playing baseball.
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: So good luck to him, and we'll see how he does.
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: I think he's I think he's listen as a first
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: baseman slash pitcher, so we'll see, uh what he does
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: a little bit more of you know, he can he
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: can get the job done. It's always nice to have
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: a lefty pitcher. But boy, as a hitter, he is
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: he when he gets dialed in, he can launch some balls,
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: you know, you know, he can really hit him away.
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: So I'm really excited to see what he does at
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: the at the college level. And I just thought i'd
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: you know, hit him up and say, hey, do you
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: want to be the guest pickering, He's like, yeah, I'd
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: love to. And so that's really really cool. You know,
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: I thought about because we had you know, we've had
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: Landon Hatchett do it. We've had a lot of these
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: former linemen do it, and I just thought, maybe I'll
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: reach out to Camden Raymond see if he wants to
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: do it. So, uh so, thank you very much to
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: him for for accepting and joining us in the chaos
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: this week.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: Tyler, if there was a a w w F comp
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: for Camden Raymond, who would it be? And when I
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: say this, I'm thinking old school, like you're yeah, yeah, I.
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: Think I think Nikolai Volkov would be a good one.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: I was thinking tugboat, Tyler.
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: Tugboat, tugboat, remember tugboat, Yeah, tugbos or earthquake and typhoon. Yeah,
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: then he became typhoon.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's my comp. Let's hear Tyler. We got
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: Joe consensus, and the guests are leading the way in
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: the pick'ems. They are forty eight and eleven, Tyler, you
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: are forty seven and twelve. I'm right behind forty six
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: and thirteen. Jeff would right behind me at forty five
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: and fourteen. And Mikayla, who I believe made some ground
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: up this week forty three and sixteen. Let's see here,
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: everybody is picking Linden, Seahome and Nooksack Valley. Only Mikayla
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: and Camden are picking against Bellingham. Only Camden is picking
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: his alma mater in Ferndale. McKayla and Jeff they are
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: picking Lynden Christian over Meridian, and me and Camden we
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: are picking Blaine over Mount Baker. So all kinds of
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: different picks this week. I mean, it's gonna be the
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: most colorful that graphic has looked maybe in a little while.
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: It seems like every week there's probably like six of
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: you know games where it's the same everybody, you know,
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: So that's pretty cool to see so many different people
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: picking Tyler, which just means more work for you.
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, the work's already done. I've I got that taken
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: care of. It was fun to do. It is fun
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: when it's you know, a lot of these different schools
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: and different teams being being picked, and you're right, this
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: is one of those weeks where we're all, you know,
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: we're all within five games of each other, you know,
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: and we're deep into the season. Now this is this
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: might you know, starting to cause a little bit of separation.
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: We'll kind of see how it goes. There was a
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: lot of picks where I mean there was like five
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: of the five games where I was I was like, uh,
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: you know, I don't know, I guess I'll go this way.
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: I mean it was tough. I mean even at Ferndale
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: Sea Drow game, I just have a weird I mean
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: I picked Seed Drow. But you know, Ferndale last game
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: at home, you know, they're really desk. I mean, I
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: think they have to win this to even have a
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: shot for the round of thirty two. You know, Sidro
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: had that rough game last week. Maybe they're catching them
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: at the right time. Who knows. I mean, I just
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: you know. And and every single I mean there have
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: been games where all of us picked one way and
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: we were all wrong. I think that's happened a couple
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: of times already this year. So you just never know.
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm excited to see how how it goes.
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: And and again, you know who I mean, I'm always
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: thinking like are people are people? You know, figure, I
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: don't want them to get upset with us. We're just
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: we're just making our picks and if it if it uh,
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: if it inspires you, then great.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: I know this much. I'm going seven and oh baby,
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: let's see fantasy standings. Tyler. I am three and four.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: You are four and three. But I did get the
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: win last week, so that means this week, Tyler, you
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: are picking first. Uh so go ahead, do you get
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: first pick?
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: Well? I really love the way the rough and tough
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: Linden Lion offensive line looked. I'm going right off the
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: bat with offensive line, So I'm going to take the
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: Linden line offensive line. I just think that everybody's healthy
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: now again, and they found the spots that they're that
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: they're most comfortable, and you know, sounds like you know,
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: Randy said, the weather will kind of be back up
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: to normal. I think it'll be a I think it'd
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: be a great game for that Linden offensive line.
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: Tyler. I don't know that I've done it this year,
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: although it'd be a little surprised if I haven't. At
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: this point of the season. I'm picking one guy in
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: two spots. I'm going Colton Lance at running back and
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: Colton Lance front seven. It seems to work really well
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: for me when I do this, I'm sticking to it.
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I mean Colton Lentz surpassed four thousand career
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: rushing yards last week, which only ten guys in Walking
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: County have ever done. And so, you know, he's been
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: really on and every time he has a big running game,
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: he has a huge defensive game too. I mean he's perfect,
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: you know. So yeah, so if I you know, he's
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: just one of those guys. I mean when he's out there,
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: he's kind of the dude that's out there, like you
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: can spot him a mile away, so that those are
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: great picks.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: Heather, When was the last time you saw him in person,
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: like without his helmet on?
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: I was there Friday night, but I don't think I
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: saw him take his helmet off.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, I was going to ask, what's the fro looking like?
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: The hair?
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sure it's I'm sure it's great. I don't
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: think any of the blonde is there left. I think
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: it's all back to brown again. But yeah, yeah, I
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: will see how it is when I see him next.
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: But I'm sure it's I'm sure it's as luscious as ever.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking two and twenty.
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: What, Yeah, he'sbout two hundred and twenty pounds now yd
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: twenty tackles. Oh my goodness, great.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: Game this week. That's great.
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm going to take a quarterback. I used I
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: kind of wait. I used to wait for you to
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: take a quarterback first, because there's so many good ones.
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: I like five or six of them have a quarterback
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: rating over one hundred.
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: And this has been a lot of very efficient passing
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: this year. Some of them got knocked down below it
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: this last week with the rain. But I'm gonna I'm
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: gonna go with Evan Brown from Knoksack Valley. You know,
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: I think that in this kind of game, where it's
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: not a conference game, I think they're gonna want to
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: try a few new things offensively in the passing game,
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: and I think this is a great game to do it.
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: And Evan Brown is a very accurate passer and I'm
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: excited to kind of see how his development happens, and
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: I think he could have a big game. And then
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go a receiver as well. And uh, you know,
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: it's a guy I've been wanting to pick every single week,
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: but there's always something that makes me go the other way.
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: And this way I am gonna go with it. I'm
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: gonna go with Isaiah Aldman as a receiver. He's just
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: a walking mismatch out there. You know, he's got the
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: size obviously, the six four, two hundred and twenty five pounds,
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: but he's a lot faster than you think. And boy,
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: you know, you cover him with some fast guy and
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: he's just gonna out jump him out, Muslim, out post
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: him up. You cover him with a linebacker and he's
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: gonna go right right past. Just so, I think Isaiah
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: Audman can have a huge week this week.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: Alrighty, I am going to stick with the Knuksack Valley
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: train and I'm going to pick their defense against Montsena
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: and then I'm gonna go away from Nuksack Valley now
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: and I'm going to take Grady Evans at kicker. I
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: don't know that I ever take kicker this early, but
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna take Grady Evans kicking.
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: Well, Graddy Evans, I mean, kicking on the turf too,
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: is always huge. He's he's been he's been kicking like
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: a field goal of game recently. So he's been bracking
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: at the points. He just overtook the lead in kicking
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: points in Walking County, so he is in the lead now.
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: Slake Kaiser and Enoch Smith have been kind of trading
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: back and forth. Two buddies there that play soccer together,
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: I think, and club and stuff like that. But I but, yeah,
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: Grady Evans has been great Knuoksack Valley defense obviously, you know,
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: the last few years have been a fun pick all
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: the time because they just you know, they've done some
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: great stuff. They've had a few pick sixes this year.
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: You know, they've had man the block, punt for return
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: for touchdown. They've done some damage. I'm gonna look at
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: defense as well now, but I'm gonna go individuals. I'm
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: gonna go back seven and I'm gonna take Brody Price
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: the safety from Lindon. I swear every single week he
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: just gets better and better, and he just jumps out
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: on film more and more, just making a ton of plays.
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: He really can support in the run game and really,
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: you know, just pop some guys. But I think that
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: you know, Lakewood, you know, when I saw them earlier
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: in the year, they weren't running a whole lot. They
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: were passing quite a bit. But I you know, I
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: don't know, I think with this freshman quarterback or maybe
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: whoever they have at the moment, they might have to
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: rely on the run a little bit more. And I
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: think that he's he's the kind of guy that can
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: come up and make a lot of plays. And speaking
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: of a guy that come up and make a lot
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: of plays, I'm gonna go front seven Bellingham linebacker Tyler Frost.
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: I think he just surpassed thirty four tackles for loss
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: in his career. And yes, that's way up there on
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: the Walking County All time list. He had three more
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: last week. There's just there are guys that sometimes when
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: you're watching the film and Bellingham kind of shoots their
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: film kind of way back. I mean, just heads up
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: to Bellingham, guys. There is a zoom button. I swear
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: there's a zoom button. You know, please locate it because
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: it makes it so much easier for me. Sometimes. I
• 53:35
  Speaker 4: get you want to get all twenty two. I get,
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: I get that, but you can go zoom in a
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: little bit. But when you're watching and there's kind of
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: like a you know, kind of a scrum or something,
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: and there's a run play, all of a sudden, someone
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: will just shoot through the middle and make a huge
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: play in the backfield. And I swear every time it's
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: number forty four Tyler Frost. I don't, I don't. He
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: looks scary out there. I would not want to try
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: to block him, especially when he's charging up the middle
• 54:03
  Speaker 4: and he just has He's just reckless, abandoned attacking guys.
• 54:08
  Speaker 4: And I think that he I think this is a
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: game where you know they're gonna really need him against
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: this running offense. And and we'll see, because he's been going,
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: he's gonna be trying to break through some offensive linemen
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: that are in the three hundred pound range, maybe something
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: he hasn't seen before. But I still think you can
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: have a big game.
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: Oh let's see here, Tyler. I started off by going
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: all Knooksack Valley, then I went to see Home. So
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna stick with Seahome for the moment. All right,
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: I'm going to pick a guy that I don't know
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: if I picked him this year or not, but I
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: feel like he's gonna have a huge game this week.
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go back seven with Carl Bach and then
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: I'm also going to go with the Seahome offensive line.
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: I feel really good about their matchup this week, and uh,
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: you know, those guys have been doing some real serious
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: work this year and it's time for me to take
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: advantage of it.
• 54:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think those are great picks. I mean Seaholmes
• 55:01
  Speaker 4: offensive line has really been gelling. I mean, obviously Colt
• 55:04
  Speaker 4: Trell he's found a home at left tackle there. He's
• 55:06
  Speaker 4: been playing guard. He played guard, started guard as a freshman.
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: Of course, with the wing te offense, you know, you
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: put your dude there left guard usually and and he
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: you know, was moved around a little bit last year,
• 55:18
  Speaker 4: but now playing that left tackle, I mean he is
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: the guy. He's a stud, and that offense has really
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: been clicking. Carl Bach boy, he's you know, he's way
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: up there and tackles last year. He's really starting to
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: turn it on this year. I think he even played
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: hurt a lot of the year last year. So it's
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: nice to see him healthy and doing his thing on defense.
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: He's a guy too that just seems to be in
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: on a ton of tackles sideline to sideline, really has
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: that speed back and forth. I'm gonna go. I you know,
• 55:51
  Speaker 4: I was so impressed with the Linen defense last week.
• 55:54
  Speaker 4: I just thought, you know, after so many, you know,
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: I don't know how many weeks in a row they
• 55:58
  Speaker 4: gave up thirty plus four points and all of a
• 56:01
  Speaker 4: sudden it was three, you know, to Archbishop Murphy. So
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: they just really turned that something clicked and it was
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: great and they did an awesome job. And so I'm
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: going to ride that train with Lennon's defense and I'm
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: going to go running back. I'm gonna go tell him
• 56:17
  Speaker 4: bung Guard at Ferndale, this is the last game at
• 56:19
  Speaker 4: the home stadium. I remember. I remember watching him take
• 56:23
  Speaker 4: a hand off his freshman year, late in the season,
• 56:27
  Speaker 4: and he ran ran it for like eight or nine yards,
• 56:29
  Speaker 4: and I said.
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: Who's that guy?
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: And I don't even know if it was his name
• 56:33
  Speaker 4: was on the roster and I had to figure it out.
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: And when I heard bun Guard, I was like, oh,
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: because I know how good of a football player's dad was.
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: I knew how good of an athlete his older sister was,
• 56:44
  Speaker 4: and I was really I was always just kind of like,
• 56:46
  Speaker 4: I can't wait till this kid becomes a featured guy.
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: And now it's now, and all of a sudden, you
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: snap your fingers and he's playing in his last game
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: in that stadium and it's just weird to think, and
• 56:56
  Speaker 4: I just think he's got the chance to really go
• 56:58
  Speaker 4: off on this one. So I'm going to take ten
• 57:00
  Speaker 4: in bun guard running back from Ferndale.
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: I've won a lot of fantasy games with Talon bung guard, Tyler, Yeah,
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: both offense and defense. Ye, all right, I'm gonna finish
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: it off with wide receiver and quarterback. And you know, Tyler,
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: we like to move it around the county and try
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: to pick as many teams as we can, but I'm
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: stuck on Seahome right now. So I'm going to take
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: Watson and Wright. Uh no, that is not a law firm,
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: but I'm gonna go Watson and right here wide receiver
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: and quarterback.
• 57:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, that's that's a great call. It's so
• 57:28
  Speaker 4: funny you picked all you know, Knooksack and seeing guys.
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: I went to the Nuksacks sealing volleyball game this week
• 57:34
  Speaker 4: and good omen and yeah, and the great thing about
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: that was the two head coaches are married to each other.
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: That's right. I remember talking about that in the preview.
• 57:44
  Speaker 4: Yes, and I couldn't wait until this matchup. And the
• 57:47
  Speaker 4: best part so there the seam coaches Clayton Sin Knoksack
• 57:51
  Speaker 4: Valley coach is Holly Saint Marie. So it's the Sin
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: Sin versus Saint And they made some awesome, you know
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: things on social media, and it was just I loved
• 58:03
  Speaker 4: it and I had to be there for that one.
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: They did this little handshake before the game. I mean
• 58:08
  Speaker 4: it was it was awesome. So when I when I
• 58:12
  Speaker 4: see all these all this purple and green, you know
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: that you're picking. See hom won in three sets. I
• 58:17
  Speaker 4: mean they were definitely favored.
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: So we know who's on the couch right right exactly.
• 58:22
  Speaker 4: Who's doing the dishes, uh, the cold dinner waiting for you. Yeah,
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: I mean it's just there's so many of those inside jokes.
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: I hope they do this for a long time. They're
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: both such awesome people and and uh yeah, it's it's
• 58:35
  Speaker 4: that was really cool. I don't want to get off
• 58:37
  Speaker 4: the point, but I just noticed you just the all
• 58:39
  Speaker 4: nooksack and seal them as the first thing that came
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: to my mind. Obviously right in Watson, I mean huge numbers.
• 58:44
  Speaker 4: I talked about it earlier in the show.
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, kind of kind of influenced me.
• 58:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess, uh, definitely never a never a bad pick.
• 58:53
  Speaker 4: I mean those guys, I you know, I I don't
• 58:55
  Speaker 4: really recall them ever having an off game, you know
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: what I mean, Like they seem to always put up
• 59:00
  Speaker 4: good numbers. Uh, And I'm gonna finish it off and
• 59:02
  Speaker 4: I need a kicker. And you know, I look around.
• 59:07
  Speaker 4: I thought about Malachi Canaan, but I know that Van
• 59:10
  Speaker 4: Dalen's listening to this and he's just laughing, going, well,
• 59:13
  Speaker 4: which witch Canaan because I just have a weird feeling. Yeah,
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: he's gonna he's gonna break out both of them, and
• 59:19
  Speaker 4: they're gonna go back and forth. And I don't care.
• 59:22
  Speaker 4: We're sticking. We're staying away from that. So I'm gonna
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: go with Cameron Boke from Bellingham Thursday night, you know,
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: kicking on the turf. He's been great. He did miss
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: the field goal right before the half and the against
• 59:35
  Speaker 4: a just a crazy wind in his face and it
• 59:38
  Speaker 4: hit the upright.
• 59:40
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 59:40
  Speaker 4: That was that game against Seahome. I mean the wind
• 59:43
  Speaker 4: like you know, coach, you heard coach talking about it
• 59:45
  Speaker 4: where the where like the like the goal pad, right,
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: So I mean this this was very very windy and
• 59:52
  Speaker 4: he still had enough leg easily just hit the crossbar.
• 59:56
  Speaker 4: He is really impressed since he started kicking a few
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: weeks ago. Left footed kicker obviously, and because.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: He's from Wauka County, that can't have too many of those,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: can we know.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 4: And he's already had a field goal earlier this year,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: and I just you know, he had that one against
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 4: Grant Balls. I think he could. I think he can
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 4: have a big game, and he's always down for kicking
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 4: a three pointer. So that's what I'm going with.
