- 0:22Speaker 2: episode at three hundred and thirty one, a Winter sports
- 0:25Speaker 2: a weekly wrap up. I'm Ryland Spencer along with me
- 0:28Speaker 2: as always Tyler Anderson walkom Preps. Tyler, how are we doing?
- 0:33Speaker 2: Doing good?
- 0:33Speaker 3: Doing good? A little crazy, busy, kind of hit out
- 0:37Speaker 3: of nowhere, which is funny. With the Top one hundred
- 0:39Speaker 3: list being done, I feel like I could take a
- 0:41Speaker 3: kind of a breath here, but a little bit behind
- 0:44Speaker 3: on stuff, but able to get this podcast in, So
- 0:47Speaker 3: that's what matters for right now.
- 0:49Speaker 2: We need to give a thank you to Jemma James,
- 0:52Speaker 2: lumin Nation sophomore basketball player. I feel like I've heard
- 0:56Speaker 2: that name a lot this year, Tyler, and I'd never
- 0:58Speaker 2: heard that name before in my life, So thank you
- 1:01Speaker 2: for that, Tyler. We are now, as you said, we're
- 1:06Speaker 2: done with the Top one hundred, which by the way,
- 1:10Speaker 2: was sponsored by Anytime Fitness, tremendous sponsors of Walcome Preps.
- 1:15Speaker 2: But there's a lot of other things that could use sponsorship.
- 1:18Speaker 2: So if somebody's out there looking to get in contact,
- 1:22Speaker 2: or if you know somebody you want to pass along
- 1:24Speaker 2: the information, what do they need to say?
- 1:26Speaker 3: Well, the best thing is to find me on social media,
- 1:29Speaker 3: search for walkome Preps, send a personal message, and just
- 1:32Speaker 3: reach out that way, and then from there we can
- 1:34Speaker 3: kind of get the ball rolling. And it's crazy, because
- 1:39Speaker 3: I do like to talk. Sometimes people want to meet
- 1:42Speaker 3: in person. This just happened earlier this last week where
- 1:45Speaker 3: someone reached out and we said, Hey, are you going
- 1:48Speaker 3: to be at this game? And I was thinking, well,
- 1:50Speaker 3: I'm not, but I could, you know, if there's something
- 1:52Speaker 3: important to talk about. And so we met for a
- 1:55Speaker 3: little bit and we're gonna have you know, we're gonna
- 1:58Speaker 3: have a meeting on Monday. You're gonna have a lunch
- 2:00Speaker 3: on Monday and go over a few things. So that's
- 2:04Speaker 3: just kind of the best way. So if you reach out,
- 2:06Speaker 3: I'll get back to you and we can just go
- 2:08Speaker 3: from there. And lots of things that are available right
- 2:12Speaker 3: now and and now, I mean, if you look at it,
- 2:15Speaker 3: we're so close to you know, getting really like the
- 2:19Speaker 3: spring season is so close, so jumping on things early
- 2:22Speaker 3: is good. There's a lot of people that are that
- 2:25Speaker 3: are repeat customers that want to come back. But there
- 2:27Speaker 3: are still things that are open, So ask about what
- 2:30Speaker 3: kind of openings there are, or just ask like, hey,
- 2:33Speaker 3: you know, this is this is what I'm interested in.
- 2:35Speaker 3: Is there something available? And there might be. If there's not,
- 2:38Speaker 3: we could kind of work around a lot of things.
- 2:40Speaker 3: And I've moved a lot of things around in the
- 2:42Speaker 3: past to make things work for everybody. So that's what
- 2:45Speaker 3: we're about and we're hoping to keep making it about that.
- 2:49Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I almost wanted to say something like
- 2:55Speaker 2: everybody needs to contact one person that they know, you
- 2:57Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like, it's not hard. We all
- 2:59Speaker 2: love walking. Perhaps everybody you know, they they they comment
- 3:02Speaker 2: all the time about how they love things and they
- 3:04Speaker 2: love there's got to be somebody you know that can
- 3:07Speaker 2: help out, you know, owns a business or you know something. So, yeah,
- 3:14Speaker 2: how have them reached out to walk them? Perhaps Tyler
- 3:16Speaker 2: will get them taken care of. Yeah, We've got all
- 3:19Speaker 2: kinds of sponsorships. It's almost springtime, but they're still I mean,
- 3:22Speaker 2: you could sponsor the state tournament runs of basketball. I
- 3:26Speaker 2: mean there's so many things, Yeah, Tyler, that being said,
- 3:29Speaker 2: We've got all kinds of stuff to talk about, boys wrestling,
- 3:31Speaker 2: girls wrestling. One of them no sponsorship, So yeah, somebody
- 3:34Speaker 2: can sponsor that for the rest of the year at
- 3:36Speaker 2: a pro rated a discount, if you will. And absolutely
- 3:40Speaker 2: what wrestling is getting getting going here, I mean, we
- 3:43Speaker 2: this I think, I guess I should look it up,
- 3:46Speaker 2: but I was gonna say, I think we have less
- 3:48Speaker 2: than a month, right, It's usually somewhere right around the fifteenth,
- 3:51Speaker 2: you know, right, the.
- 3:52Speaker 3: Matt Classic has got to be right around a month
- 3:54Speaker 3: from now, a little less than that. So it's it's
- 3:57Speaker 3: wrapping up. It ends fast, definitely, Wrestle it's it's crazy
- 4:01Speaker 3: how it's just boom and it's done because a lot
- 4:03Speaker 3: of the other stuff basketball is usually like in the
- 4:05Speaker 3: middle of districts at that point, you know, or kind
- 4:07Speaker 3: of kind of beginning of districts. So so yeah, it's, uh,
- 4:12Speaker 3: there's only about a month left.
- 4:13Speaker 2: Well, this is interesting, the Matt Classic. I don't know
- 4:15Speaker 2: if they've done this in the past, but a little
- 4:18Speaker 2: different format than what I remember in three years, so
- 4:22Speaker 2: it will basically be a month from the time that
- 4:24Speaker 2: people are hearing this, that'll be the first day of
- 4:27Speaker 2: the Matt Classic, and this year the Matt Classic is
- 4:30Speaker 2: three days long. Twenty twenty one, twenty two, twenty and
- 4:34Speaker 2: twenty one is the three A four A Boys, three
- 4:38Speaker 2: A four A Girls, twenty one and twenty two is
- 4:41Speaker 2: everybody else, So two A and down boys and girls.
- 4:45Speaker 2: So that's interesting. I didn't know they were doing it
- 4:47Speaker 2: that way. And I mean, this is something that's a
- 4:50Speaker 2: I had to say it this way. But it's byproduct
- 4:52Speaker 2: of girls wrestling is getting so popular.
- 4:54Speaker 3: I mean, right exactly. Yeah, girls was all the same classification.
- 4:59Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean just I think a few years
- 5:01Speaker 2: ago it was that way. So yeah, I mean that's great.
- 5:05Speaker 2: I love that it's the well, I love a couple
- 5:08Speaker 2: of things. I love the fact that the wiaa's got
- 5:10Speaker 2: to spend more money because that makes me happy. So
- 5:13Speaker 2: they got to rent the whole place for another day.
- 5:15Speaker 2: That's hilarious. But it's awesome that everything. I mean, wrestling
- 5:19Speaker 2: as a whole is weird because I think the numbers
- 5:23Speaker 2: are declining, but the numbers are getting better in certain places,
- 5:28Speaker 2: you know what I mean. It's like as a whole.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Maybe you know, I see a lot of schools in
- 5:34Speaker 2: my area where I live. They can't even fill out
- 5:37Speaker 2: a fourteen boy you know, varsity roster, right, and a
- 5:41Speaker 2: fourteen weight class varsity roster. But you know there's some
- 5:44Speaker 2: schools that show up and you look at it, you go,
- 5:46Speaker 2: holy crap. I got a lot of guys. I mean, right, yeah,
- 5:49Speaker 2: they do. But yeah, so we're basically a month away
- 5:54Speaker 2: from the wrestling state tournament, so somebody could get in
- 5:58Speaker 2: on that one, and they could. You're talking about the
- 6:01Speaker 2: district tournaments, the regional tournaments, I mean some heavy duty
- 6:04Speaker 2: stuff right there. So Tyler, We've got a lot of
- 6:08Speaker 2: things to talk about here, but I'm gonna bring something
- 6:11Speaker 2: up really quickly that is not on our show sheet.
- 6:14Speaker 2: And I know you hate it when I do this,
- 6:15Speaker 2: but I think you're actually gonna like it.
- 6:17Speaker 3: All right, all right, I don't worry nobody's listening anyway.
- 6:21Speaker 2: We lost one of our favorite people, Tyler. Yeah, mister
- 6:24Speaker 2: Bob Yucker passed away on the sixteenth. I mean it's
- 6:30Speaker 2: crazy because you know, we don't get to see Brewers games,
- 6:35Speaker 2: or we don't get to see the local Brewers broadcast,
- 6:39Speaker 2: but we know Bob Bucker from so many different things.
- 6:41Speaker 2: You know, I don't remember him from like national what
- 6:46Speaker 2: do I say, like national Game of the Week stuff
- 6:47Speaker 2: for baseball because I was so young, But you and
- 6:52Speaker 2: I both will probably I mean, I don't know, I
- 6:55Speaker 2: guess I'll put you we're putting words into your mouth here.
- 6:59Speaker 2: But the best Hall of Fame speech ever. And I
- 7:03Speaker 2: watched it again today just because it was just so
- 7:07Speaker 2: it's so funny. I mean, if you've never seen it,
- 7:10Speaker 2: just google Bob Uker Hall of Fame speech and you
- 7:14Speaker 2: will not be disappointed. It's I don't know, eighteen minutes
- 7:17Speaker 2: long or something, but it is absolutely hilarious some of
- 7:20Speaker 2: the stuff he says. But yeah, Tyler, I mean you
- 7:24Speaker 2: and I are both guys that love baseball to the
- 7:26Speaker 2: point that we love everything about it, the little tiny things,
- 7:30Speaker 2: the announcers in other cities, you know, stuff like that.
- 7:34Speaker 2: I mean I loved Harry Kallis. You know, he used
- 7:37Speaker 2: to do the was it Coors Light commercials or something,
- 7:40Speaker 2: and he would do NFL NFL films, some stuff for
- 7:44Speaker 2: NFL films, and like so you always heard his voice,
- 7:47Speaker 2: but you didn't really know who he was, you know,
- 7:49Speaker 2: at times, and then all of a sudden, the Internet
- 7:51Speaker 2: comes around and we're like, ah, that guy. Yeah, yeah,
- 7:53Speaker 2: I know that guy like you know and Ernie Harwell.
- 7:56Speaker 2: Always loved Ernie Harwell. And you know, do you remember
- 7:59Speaker 2: Ernie Well when he used to say, you know, a
- 8:03Speaker 2: foul ball and then wherever whatever city he was in,
- 8:06Speaker 2: he would just pick a random city in the area
- 8:07Speaker 2: he'd go and a man from Walla, Walla takes that
- 8:10Speaker 2: one home, you know. And you know, Bob Yuker had
- 8:13Speaker 2: some funny things that he would do. But I think
- 8:15Speaker 2: where everybody really knows him that we all remember is
- 8:19Speaker 2: Major League, which is I mean, Tyler, is there a
- 8:22Speaker 2: better baseball movie than Major League? I mean, there's some
- 8:24Speaker 2: good ones out there.
- 8:25Speaker 3: Yeah, there's great baseball movies. To me, that's my favorite
- 8:29Speaker 3: by far. I do remember him from Mister Belvedere a
- 8:32Speaker 3: lot being a little bit older than you. That was
- 8:35Speaker 3: kind of my wheelhouse on Friday nights. I do remember.
- 8:41Speaker 3: And if you go back, I think it was after
- 8:44Speaker 3: the Mariners beat the Yankees in the ninety five Divisional series.
- 8:49Speaker 3: They played against Cleveland and the Alcs, and I want
- 8:52Speaker 3: to say he was a part of that announced group,
- 8:54Speaker 3: like him and Bob Casses together, which was cool. So
- 8:58Speaker 3: he would do some stuff for NBC every once in
- 9:00Speaker 3: a while in the postseason, he did, Yes, he did
- 9:03Speaker 3: do that Game of the Week. But but yeah, I
- 9:06Speaker 3: mean he would be on Johnny Carson, like he was
- 9:08Speaker 3: on Johnny Carson like a hundred times or something because
- 9:10Speaker 3: he just had him.
- 9:11Speaker 2: On because he just cracked him up. It says here
- 9:13Speaker 2: on his Wikipedia page, it just says he made he
- 9:16Speaker 2: made some one hundred guest appearance appearances. And what he
- 9:20Speaker 2: said was, I was watching the thing and he was
- 9:23Speaker 2: talking about it, and he said that he would take
- 9:25Speaker 2: a red eye on or excuse me, he would fly
- 9:28Speaker 2: out Sunday night, go do Carson's show on Monday, take
- 9:33Speaker 2: a red eye back home so that he could get
- 9:35Speaker 2: back to Milwaukee to do to do Brewers baseball. Yeah,
- 9:40Speaker 2: And so they would schedule him on the days that
- 9:43Speaker 2: the Brewers didn't play on Monday, you know, right right.
- 9:46Speaker 3: Yeah, And Johnny Carson named him mister Baseball.
- 9:49Speaker 2: That's who he.
- 9:50Speaker 3: Named him, that name. And and just so many great
- 9:52Speaker 3: quotes obviously, but the two that always stand out to
- 9:55Speaker 3: me is when he was asked the best way to
- 9:58Speaker 3: catch a knuckleball, and he's just said, pick it up
- 10:00Speaker 3: when it stops rolling. Yeah, And then, and the other
- 10:04Speaker 3: one was he was talking about his kids and he goes,
- 10:08Speaker 3: he goes, you always want your kids to take after you,
- 10:10Speaker 3: and he goes, And after my son struck out his
- 10:13Speaker 3: fourth time in little league, they were all yelling at
- 10:15Speaker 3: him stuff. I was so proud.
- 10:18Speaker 2: The uh what I quote tweeted, I don't know Barstool
- 10:22Speaker 2: Sports or somebody with, you know, the Bob Uker announcement,
- 10:25Speaker 2: and I used one of the quotes that I like
- 10:28Speaker 2: from him. He says, you know, I was once named
- 10:30Speaker 2: minor league Player of the Year. Unfortunately I had been
- 10:32Speaker 2: in the majors for two years at the time.
- 10:36Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I mean it's just he's just got so.
- 10:38Speaker 2: Many I mean it's like Yogi berra, right, like so
- 10:42Speaker 2: many random things that he said. But Bob Yucker was
- 10:45Speaker 2: like as great as he was as an announcer, he
- 10:48Speaker 2: might have even been a better comedian, you know what
- 10:50Speaker 2: I mean, Like just the stuff he said was so funny.
- 10:53Speaker 2: And I think that's what made him so great with
- 10:56Speaker 2: on Major League was just his ability. You know, I've
- 11:00Speaker 2: read before that you know, not all of it, but
- 11:02Speaker 2: a huge majority of what he said on there was
- 11:05Speaker 2: ad libbed, and he just made it up on the
- 11:07Speaker 2: spot and they just I'm sure they had people just
- 11:09Speaker 2: dying laughing. And you know, I'll never forget when he
- 11:15Speaker 2: my favorite part of like Major League and Major League
- 11:19Speaker 2: One is definitely better than two. But I think two
- 11:20Speaker 2: doesn't get the love that it really should get. Two
- 11:22Speaker 2: is really funny too. But when he starts calling the fight,
- 11:26Speaker 2: you know, in the dugout, Oh yeah, yeah, he's holding
- 11:28Speaker 2: his left a little low. Yeah, he's calling it like
- 11:32Speaker 2: he's a boxing announcer. You know, it's just so funny.
- 11:36Speaker 3: He's gonna that's gonna hurt him in the later round.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Yeah, well, because he was drunk, passed out, remember, and
- 11:40Speaker 2: Moni had to wake him up. Yeah, he sits up
- 11:43Speaker 2: and he goes. My goodness, fans, the Indians are showing
- 11:48Speaker 2: signs of life for the first time in weeks. That's
- 11:52Speaker 2: so good.
- 11:53Speaker 3: He hit more and he only hit like but twelve
- 11:56Speaker 3: home runs in his career. Fourteen home runs in his career.
- 11:59Speaker 3: My fifteen home run for his career is what he had. Yeah,
- 12:01Speaker 3: and he hit more off of Hall of Fame pitchers
- 12:04Speaker 3: than Kenny Lofton did.
- 12:06Speaker 2: Kenny lofton same birthday as me? Oh that's there. In order,
- 12:11Speaker 2: it goes like this, it goes Clint Eastwood, Kenny lofton
- 12:14Speaker 2: Ryland Spencer, That's what.
- 12:17Speaker 3: And he hit as many home runs off Sandy Cofax
- 12:19Speaker 3: as Willie McCovey did. Wow. And and it says he
- 12:22Speaker 3: got as many hits in the big leagues as Danny Ainge,
- 12:25Speaker 3: although Danny Ainge did play one thousand and forty two
- 12:28Speaker 3: more NBA games than Puppuker.
- 12:33Speaker 2: That's so funny, I mean, just some of the things
- 12:36Speaker 2: I see here. National Sports Casters and Sports Writer named
- 12:39Speaker 2: him Wisconsin Sportscaster of the Year five times, which is
- 12:43Speaker 2: hard to believe that his last one was in eighty seven,
- 12:45Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like, really, who else came
- 12:48Speaker 2: around and after eighty seven? That was better than Bob Buker.
- 12:50Speaker 2: But inducted into the Hall of Fame in twenty eleven
- 12:54Speaker 2: for the National Sports Casters. Inducted into the Major League
- 12:58Speaker 2: Baseball Hall of Fame in two thousand and three. Oh,
- 13:00Speaker 2: I love his thing from that too, when he when
- 13:02Speaker 2: he just kind of cracks, he goes, you know, I
- 13:04Speaker 2: always thought I should have made it as a player, right, Yeah,
- 13:08Speaker 2: it's just like goofball.
- 13:10Speaker 3: Yeah, he hit, he had a home run off. He
- 13:12Speaker 3: hit his third, fourth, and fifth home runs of his
- 13:15Speaker 3: career came off of Gaylord Perry, Sandy Kofax, and Fergie Jenkins. Wow,
- 13:20Speaker 3: how crazy is that? And I've met two of those guys.
- 13:22Speaker 2: I was gonna say, I know you met Jenkins.
- 13:24Speaker 3: Yeah, I met Gaylord Perry too.
- 13:26Speaker 2: That's awesome. So Yeah, Bob Buker just ten days shy
- 13:32Speaker 2: of his ninety first birthday, Tyler, just incredible. I mean,
- 13:37Speaker 2: is you know he was only doing home games the
- 13:41Speaker 2: last few years of his life and he said that
- 13:45Speaker 2: I think I think it was Bob cost has said
- 13:47Speaker 2: that he wouldn't do back to back games if it
- 13:51Speaker 2: was a day game the next day, right, and because
- 13:54Speaker 2: he was just tired and his vocal gords couldn't really
- 13:57Speaker 2: hang up to it. But yeah, Bobby, I mean one
- 14:00Speaker 2: of the best. Oh I forgot, I totally forgot about
- 14:02Speaker 2: this too, is he had some some stuff with WrestleMania,
- 14:06Speaker 2: you remember, like.
- 14:07Speaker 3: Wresman three, rest Many four.
- 14:08Speaker 2: Yeah, he was I totally forgot that he was doing
- 14:10Speaker 2: that stuff too.
- 14:11Speaker 3: Yeah, guest ring announcer for both of them, and he
- 14:14Speaker 3: called the Battle Royal and wrest Many four.
- 14:16Speaker 2: Yeah, just hilarious. Yeah, I mean, what a life. Just
- 14:21Speaker 2: one of those, like the only people that could have
- 14:23Speaker 2: anything bad to say about, Bob, youuger, people that you know,
- 14:26Speaker 2: you don't want to be friend with anyway, you know,
- 14:28Speaker 2: I say they're they're bad people. Yeah, They're just people
- 14:30Speaker 2: that don't you know, they don't deserve the time of
- 14:34Speaker 2: day if you will. But yeah, Bob youuger. Uh yeah,
- 14:38Speaker 2: here here it is. It says batting average two hundred
- 14:40Speaker 2: on the dot man. I mean, yeah, that's consistency two
- 14:43Speaker 2: out of ten. That's a way to go right there. Yeah. Yeah,
- 14:48Speaker 2: and also a US Army veteran, which is awesome, you know,
- 14:52Speaker 2: like sobody, it's it's it's crazy how there're use so
- 14:55Speaker 2: many pro athletes back in his time that were also veterans,
- 14:58Speaker 2: you know what I mean, and now probably none, you know,
- 15:03Speaker 2: I mean, really, the only way that it can kind
- 15:05Speaker 2: of happen now is if a guy goes into like
- 15:07Speaker 2: the you know, one of the academies', right. You know,
- 15:10Speaker 2: it's about the only way that it can happen now.
- 15:12Speaker 2: But yeah, Bob Buker, I know, Tyler, you and I
- 15:17Speaker 2: both big fans, and yeah, sad sad day. I mean,
- 15:22Speaker 2: it was a couple of days too. Who was the
- 15:24Speaker 2: former Sonic that passed away?
- 15:26Speaker 3: Gus Williams.
- 15:26Speaker 2: Gus Williams another one obviously well before my time, I assume,
- 15:31Speaker 2: or at least I don't know about. Yeah, I don't.
- 15:33Speaker 2: I don't know about like before my time, but I
- 15:35Speaker 2: definitely do not remember him. But I remember anytime you'd
- 15:39Speaker 2: go into the whatever you want to call any of
- 15:43Speaker 2: the arenas that the Sonics played in when I was
- 15:45Speaker 2: growing up. You know, there's stories about him, and you.
- 15:49Speaker 3: Know he was.
- 15:51Speaker 2: If I remember, right, don't people say that he was
- 15:54Speaker 2: like the first superstar that Seattle had? Was that him?
- 15:57Speaker 3: Well, Slick Watts, I would say it was the first one.
- 16:00Speaker 2: Yeah, but he was.
- 16:02Speaker 3: Gus Williams was the best player on their championship team.
- 16:04Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. So yeah, kind of a
- 16:08Speaker 2: rough little week, you know, you and I we love
- 16:11Speaker 2: our sports. So yep, Tyler, let's get into it though.

- 16:22Speaker 2: got boys and girls wrestling. So we've got a lot
- 16:23Speaker 2: of stuff talk about here. So let's get right into

- 16:48Speaker 3: then Mount Baker took care of Nicksack Valley seventy to nine.
- 16:51Speaker 2: On Thursday, Bellingham defeated Seahome thirty nine thirty six. That

- 17:01Speaker 2: the two of the city schools, you know what I mean? Like,
- 17:03Speaker 2: that's gotta be right. Some mayhem going on there. But
- 17:06Speaker 2: Caedro Woolley they come to town and defeat Ferndale forty
- 17:09Speaker 2: six to forty. There were quite a few tournaments on Saturday.
- 17:13Speaker 2: The apple Pie Invite, Tyler. I think that's a hilarious name,
- 17:17Speaker 2: considering how many of these guys can't even eat apple
- 17:19Speaker 2: pie right now because they gotta make weight. That was
- 17:22Speaker 2: out at tenasket. So the only team from Waukam County
- 17:25Speaker 2: that went out there was Blaine. But man, that's a
- 17:27Speaker 2: heck of a you know, little ways to travel there
- 17:31Speaker 2: this time of the year, with the conditions you know,
- 17:33Speaker 2: up in the mountains and everything. But Tenasket they do
- 17:36Speaker 2: win their own tournament with two hundred and thirty five points.
- 17:40Speaker 2: Cashmir finishes second with one hundred and sixty nine point
- 17:43Speaker 2: five and one point behind is Blaine. The border rights

- 18:50Speaker 3: picture taken with eating an apple pie at the end.
- 18:52Speaker 2: Oh really, yeah, So I.
- 18:54Speaker 3: Think if you get first place, you get an apple pie.
- 18:56Speaker 2: Did they just like, was it just like eating an
- 18:58Speaker 2: apple pie? Or did they go face first into it?
- 19:01Speaker 3: No? No, it was just like a little like personal pie,
- 19:03Speaker 3: like they get their own, you know. I was thinking,
- 19:05Speaker 3: like going face first in like stand by me, stand
- 19:07Speaker 3: by me, Yeah, the hands behind the back and just
- 19:10Speaker 3: go bam right into it. Marysville Premiere is what it's called.
- 19:14Speaker 3: I mean, I guess it's an invite. I don't know
- 19:17Speaker 3: exactly what exactly why they just call it Marysville Premiere,
- 19:20Speaker 3: But that was down there at Marysville pil Truck High School.
- 19:23Speaker 2: The Tomahawks take first place two hundred and fifteen points,
- 19:26Speaker 2: Glacier Peak finishes second with two hundred, Snohomish third with
- 19:30Speaker 2: one fifty one and a half, and then Linden finishes eleventh,
- 19:33Speaker 2: Squalicum twelfth, and Seahome finishes fifteenth. What do we got here? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
- 19:40Speaker 2: eight placers from Watkom County. We will start with one
- 19:44Speaker 2: hundred and twenty pounds.
- 19:46Speaker 3: Hun Yeah, one hundred and twenty pounds. Alicio Ortiz Lopez
- 19:50Speaker 3: of Lyndon took sixth place one thirty two. Another triple name,
- 19:55Speaker 3: Brendan Farrell Garcia of Squalakum took second place one forty four.
- 20:01Speaker 3: Trig Jorgensen of Linden took fifth place one fifty. Miguel
- 20:06Speaker 3: Lopez of Linden.
- 20:08Speaker 2: Took sixth place one fifty seven.
- 20:11Speaker 3: Darren Nielsen of Squalakum took fourth place.
- 20:15Speaker 2: One sixty five.
- 20:17Speaker 3: Grant Oliver of Seahome took second place.
- 20:20Speaker 2: And then it looks as though I guess in the
- 20:22Speaker 2: two eighty five pound weight class here the heavyweights, uh.
- 20:25Speaker 2: They wrestled each other in the in the placing in
- 20:28Speaker 2: the placing round, if you will, yeah.
- 20:30Speaker 3: Eric Antonio of Lyndon defeated Isaac Lowry of Squalicum. So
- 20:33Speaker 3: Antonio takes fifth, Lowry takes sixth place.
- 20:37Speaker 2: Now down at Hayes In High School in Renton, Tyler,
- 20:41Speaker 2: Or is it considered is a quah? No, Liberty is
- 20:43Speaker 2: considered is a quad? But it's in Renting, I think yeah,
- 20:46Speaker 2: it is a school district. Those two schools are like
- 20:48Speaker 2: right down the street from each other, in completely different districts.
- 20:51Speaker 2: They had it's called the pan Can Duels. I don't
- 20:55Speaker 2: know what pancn means. It's not can Can, it's pan Can.
- 21:01Speaker 2: But Ferndale was down there. It's at duels, so they
- 21:04Speaker 2: wrestle full matches as a team. Ferndale was put into
- 21:08Speaker 2: the A pool where they came over with three pretty
- 21:12Speaker 2: impressive wins. Tyler, Yeah, they did great.
- 21:14Speaker 3: They defeated Kent Lake fifty five to twenty three, and
- 21:17Speaker 3: then they beat Hazen seventy five to six and then
- 21:20Speaker 3: defeated Federal Way sixty to thirteen to put them into
- 21:24Speaker 3: the crossover with the big match there.
- 21:27Speaker 2: Yeah. So basically what I noticed on the on the
- 21:30Speaker 2: sheet was you got ranked one, two, three, and four
- 21:33Speaker 2: based on what you did in your pool, and then
- 21:36Speaker 2: the one wrestled the one from the other pool two two, three,
- 21:38Speaker 2: three four four. So they went across and wrestled Shorewood
- 21:42Speaker 2: and came away with the win.
- 21:43Speaker 3: Yeah, beat them fifty eight to sixteen. So a really positive,
- 21:47Speaker 3: you know performance there for the Golden Eagles, who you know,
- 21:50Speaker 3: have been without Jacob Gandhi who's injured in one of
- 21:53Speaker 3: their best wrestlers. That's really tough. But as a team
- 21:56Speaker 3: there sounds like they're doing pretty durn well.
- 21:58Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of an interesting week for the Golden Eagles.
- 22:00Speaker 2: They had matches on Tuesday and Thursday, lost both of those,
- 22:02Speaker 2: then went down to one tournament where they won four
- 22:05Speaker 2: matches in a row, right, and actually didn't just win them,
- 22:08Speaker 2: they kind of took it to these teams, so yeah,
- 22:10Speaker 2: they dominated. Yeah, pretty cool to see out there is
- 22:13Speaker 2: Aquah High School the Justice for All Wrestling Tournament Camp.
- 22:19Speaker 2: Meridian finishes first with two and twenty two and a
- 22:22Speaker 2: half is. Aquah finishes second with one ninety five. Bethel
- 22:26Speaker 2: finishes third with one ninety four point five literally point
- 22:30Speaker 2: five behind. I mean, wow, Meridian. The Trojans were down there.
- 22:34Speaker 2: They finished thirteenth. This was a pretty big tournament. I
- 22:37Speaker 2: don't remember exactly how many teams, but they finished thirteenth
- 22:40Speaker 2: with seventy two points, and it looks like we had
- 22:43Speaker 2: three three young men that placed in this one. Tyler.
- 22:48Speaker 3: Yeah, Meridan. Meridan earlier in the week, you know, wrestled
- 22:51Speaker 3: really well against Blaine. So they're really starting to improve
- 22:54Speaker 3: now as a as a wrestling program, which.
- 22:56Speaker 2: Is really cool to see.
- 22:57Speaker 3: Usually they've always had a few guys that were pretty good,
- 23:00Speaker 3: but they didn't have the full roster right now, so
- 23:02Speaker 3: it sounds like things are going pretty well. At one
- 23:04Speaker 3: hundred and forty four pounds, Carson seat All took fourth place.
- 23:07Speaker 3: At one hundred and ninety pounds, land and Downy took
- 23:09Speaker 3: fifth place, and at two hundred and fifteen pounds Red
- 23:12Speaker 3: Dirst took fifth place as well.
- 23:14Speaker 2: The Wolverine scuffle if the I mean, that's the first
- 23:18Speaker 2: time I've ever heard scuffle, I mean, it makes sense.
- 23:20Speaker 2: It is a term that could be placed on wrestling,
- 23:23Speaker 2: but I've never heard it before. The Wolverine scuffle down
- 23:26Speaker 2: at Bellevue High School, Bellingham. They were they made their
- 23:29Speaker 2: way down there, if you will, not too far from
- 23:32Speaker 2: Mzoquah by the way, those two schools were both in
- 23:34Speaker 2: my area and I didn't go. First place though, goes
- 23:38Speaker 2: to the Richland Bombers one hundred and eighty four and
- 23:40Speaker 2: a half. The chief self Seahawks finished second with forty
- 23:43Speaker 2: seven point five. Emerald the Ridge is the Jaguars won
- 23:46Speaker 2: thirty six and a half. They finished third. Bellingham BayHawks
- 23:49Speaker 2: finished twelfth. This was another one that had quite a
- 23:51Speaker 2: few teams in it, sixty eight and a half points
- 23:54Speaker 2: and they had they also, just like Meridian had three
- 23:58Speaker 2: placers in this one.
- 23:59Speaker 3: Yeah, James Button at one hundred and twenty pounds took
- 24:02Speaker 3: fourth place. Connor Rodriguez Stick took a fourth place of
- 24:06Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty pounds and one hundred and fifty
- 24:08Speaker 3: seven pounds. Nate Loss took fourth place.
- 24:11Speaker 2: That is it for boys wrestling. Let's hop over and
- 24:14Speaker 2: talk about the girls. Tuesday, Cedraw Woolly comes to Well,
- 24:21Speaker 2: I don't know, I guess I don't know where they wrestled,
- 24:22Speaker 2: but Cedrow Ollie defeated Squalacum sixty six to twelve. And
- 24:25Speaker 2: then also another big night on Wednesday, as there was
- 24:28Speaker 2: three matches on the girl side as well as the boys.
- 24:33Speaker 3: Yeah, Blaine took Blaine beat Ferndale forty one to thirty three,
- 24:37Speaker 3: Meridian beat Bellingham sixty four to twelve, and Oak Harbor
- 24:41Speaker 3: defeated Mount Baker fifty four to twenty nine.
- 24:45Speaker 2: Some tournaments on that side as well. Marysville Premiere they
- 24:49Speaker 2: had a duels for the girls, and Ferndal was down there.
- 24:52Speaker 3: Tyler, Yeah, Ferndale. They lost their first three to Marysville Getchel,
- 24:57Speaker 3: Snohomish and Mary'sville Pilchuck. And then we're put into another
- 25:01Speaker 3: pod to beat Granite Falls. So one in three over
- 25:04Speaker 3: the over the tournament, and you know, that's that's all
- 25:08Speaker 3: really the information we have. After a close match against
- 25:11Speaker 3: Blaine on Wednesday.
- 25:13Speaker 2: Justice for All also down there at Ishaquah High School
- 25:16Speaker 2: on the girls side, Tyler Sudra Woalie takes takes first
- 25:20Speaker 2: two fifty. It seems like the Suederoll Wolie girls are
- 25:22Speaker 2: really really good, Yeah, because it seems like every week
- 25:25Speaker 2: we're hearing about them finishing first, and it's usually by
- 25:28Speaker 2: a huge number. They were what would that be, eighty
- 25:33Speaker 2: eighty six points ahead something like that. Yeah, I mean
- 25:36Speaker 2: it was a ton of points. They finished first with
- 25:38Speaker 2: two fifty eight, Hazen second with one to seventy two
- 25:41Speaker 2: Meridian Trojans. They finished third with one twenty five and
- 25:45Speaker 2: a half. And we've got quite a few placers here,
- 25:46Speaker 2: so let's run through those. How about one hundred pounds.
- 25:51Speaker 3: Yeah, Shalin Malbach took fourth place.
- 25:53Speaker 2: Kind of threw me off the the exactly one hundred
- 25:55Speaker 2: pounds I wasn't ready for, I know, one hundred and
- 25:58Speaker 2: fifteen pounds. Cam Schroeder took third place. Two girls at
- 26:03Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty pounds, yeah.
- 26:05Speaker 3: Supre Kauer took second place, and Haley Horseman took third place.

- 26:31Speaker 3: Gretchen Zanstra took fourth place and Kennedy Ferrar took sixth place.
- 26:36Speaker 2: The only other tournament that went on this weekend on
- 26:38Speaker 2: the girl's side was the Wolverine Scuffle at Bellevue High School.
- 26:41Speaker 2: Twenty three teams. Bellingham finished eighteenth place in that one
- 26:46Speaker 2: that they did not have any placers, So yeah, great
- 26:50Speaker 2: work to a lot of these teams. I mean there's
- 26:51Speaker 2: a lot of placers at some tournaments with some schools
- 26:55Speaker 2: that I'm like, ah, this is a tough tournament that
- 26:59Speaker 2: which won the this just for all one looks like
- 27:01Speaker 2: it was a really tough tournament. Yeah, so to get
- 27:03Speaker 2: any placers out of that one. There's quite a few
- 27:05Speaker 2: teams in that one too. And then obviously great finish
- 27:08Speaker 2: of the weekend for the Frondale Boys that is Boys
- 27:12Speaker 2: and Girls wrestling. Again no sponsor, so yeah, you could
- 27:16Speaker 2: get on and sponsor something finished out the year. We've
- 27:19Speaker 2: got boys swim and dive. Now, Tyler, there is a
- 27:21Speaker 2: sponsor for that. Stoffer Insurance, one of our favorites, nineteen
- 27:24Speaker 2: o three Front Street in Lindon. You can give them
- 27:26Speaker 2: a call three six zero seven four six eighty eight

- 27:37Speaker 2: stuff about you guys. I don't know if it was
- 27:39Speaker 2: good or not. Make him think that Tyler's talking trash
- 27:41Speaker 2: and then be like, actually, I want to get some insurance.
- 27:44Speaker 2: You can find them online also Staffer Insurance dot com.
- 27:46Speaker 2: It's st A U F F E R Insurance dot com.
- 27:50Speaker 2: Quick look through the standings here Tyler see home five
- 27:54Speaker 2: oh and one? Wait a second, how do they get
- 27:57Speaker 2: they tied?
- 27:58Speaker 3: That was crazy. So I got the score from the
- 28:01Speaker 3: Seahome coach and and she was like that this does
- 28:05Speaker 3: not happen very often, and because you know, you know,
- 28:08Speaker 3: first place gets this many points, second place gets this
- 28:10Speaker 3: many points, and you know, and everything, and I don't know,
- 28:14Speaker 3: you know, I mean, I you know, to be completely honest,
- 28:17Speaker 3: I don't know if they're keeping track of the score
- 28:19Speaker 3: like as it's going. Yeah, because there's a lot of
- 28:22Speaker 3: stuff going on, and you got volunteers with stop watches.
- 28:25Speaker 3: I mean, you got you know, all sorts of stuff
- 28:27Speaker 3: going on because and so all. But yeah, it was
- 28:30Speaker 3: it was a tie. And it was a tie, I
- 28:33Speaker 3: want to say it was with Mount Vernon and and
- 28:36Speaker 3: she was like, this does not happen very often, And
- 28:38Speaker 3: I wrote when I wrote back, I said, you know,
- 28:40Speaker 3: I've been governing swimming for a handful of years now
- 28:43Speaker 3: and I have not seen it happen. And she said
- 28:44Speaker 3: that she had only seen it happen three times since
- 28:49Speaker 3: she took over, which was like, I don't know, it
- 28:53Speaker 3: was a while ago, like fifteen years ago or something.
- 28:55Speaker 3: Like that and so and she she was even looking
- 28:57Speaker 3: about like all the records going back to the mid eighties,
- 29:01Speaker 3: and it just it's just super rare. So yeah, pretty
- 29:04Speaker 3: pretty crazy.
- 29:05Speaker 2: It just seems hard to do. It's like when you
- 29:06Speaker 2: go to the grocery store and you know, send everything
- 29:09Speaker 2: through and then it's like, oh, that'll be eighty six
- 29:11Speaker 2: dollars and you're like, what like not eighty six twenty three?
- 29:14Speaker 2: No eighties like on the dot.
- 29:16Speaker 3: You know.
- 29:17Speaker 2: That happened to me the other day. I was I
- 29:19Speaker 2: was getting food for lunch and and it was well,
- 29:23Speaker 2: I was actually getting two sandwiches so I could eat
- 29:25Speaker 2: one after school too, and it came out to be
- 29:28Speaker 2: exactly twenty four dollars. And I go, wow, couldn't do
- 29:30Speaker 2: that that again if I tried. And the guy goes,
- 29:32Speaker 2: you could just get the same thing. I said, you sir,
- 29:35Speaker 2: are correct.
- 29:36Speaker 3: You know what's so funny about that, because you and
- 29:38Speaker 3: I talked off the Arab You've talked about how you
- 29:40Speaker 3: do not like go in grocery shopping. Yeah, I hate it,
- 29:43Speaker 3: and I for some reason, it's one of the things
- 29:47Speaker 3: I enjoyed doing. And I've realized that it's because when
- 29:51Speaker 3: I shop, I'm doing math in my head.
- 29:53Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 29:54Speaker 3: So, and I do like the tax and everything. So
- 29:57Speaker 3: when I I have an I'm ount in my head
- 30:00Speaker 3: of what it should be. When when I am I
- 30:03Speaker 3: when I'm at the register, and I'm always to see
- 30:05Speaker 3: if i can get it right on. Yeah, I'm usually
- 30:07Speaker 3: like five cents off or so. But yeah, well the
- 30:10Speaker 3: tax is tough to percent it, you know or like that. Yeah, yeah,
- 30:13Speaker 3: especially if you get stuff you get like yeah, there's
- 30:15Speaker 3: some weird things that yeah.
- 30:17Speaker 2: Yeah, well if you end up at twenty one dollars
- 30:19Speaker 2: and seventy three cents, that's a little tough. It's a
- 30:22Speaker 2: little tough to calculate, you know in your head the
- 30:25Speaker 2: right adding the tax into it. Yeah, but it's fun.
- 30:28Speaker 3: I just like doing that. And it's the same thing
- 30:30Speaker 3: like when I get gas, I always pay with cash.
- 30:32Speaker 3: So I go in and I'm like, I'm like doing
- 30:36Speaker 3: the math in my head, going okay, I got, you know,
- 30:39Speaker 3: I got. I'm like, I'm at like an eighth of
- 30:41Speaker 3: a tank and the gas right now is at like
- 30:44Speaker 3: three forty nine And if I get this much gas, minch,
- 30:47Speaker 3: So I'm going to give you this much and then
- 30:50Speaker 3: I'm going to go out and fill it up. But
- 30:51Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna see how you know, if it
- 30:53Speaker 3: filled it up or you know, Yeah, I just love
- 30:55Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. I'm just crazy.
- 30:56Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you are your psychotic anyway. See Home
- 31:00Speaker 2: five to oh to one, Squalkum they are five and one,
- 31:03Speaker 2: Bellingham five and two, Ferndale four and three, and Lyndon
- 31:08Speaker 2: oh and six.
- 31:08Speaker 3: On the year.
- 31:10Speaker 2: We've got some new times here. As a matter of fact,
- 31:12Speaker 2: we've got one, two, three, four. What am I trying
- 31:16Speaker 2: to say here? Four times that have been bettered by
- 31:19Speaker 2: the same athlete and one time that now has new
- 31:25Speaker 2: well athletes. I guess I'm kind of giving it away
- 31:27Speaker 2: that it's going to be a relay here. But Tyler,
- 31:30Speaker 2: we've got a new one meter diving score.
- 31:33Speaker 3: Yeah, Caden Schmidt of Seahome two hundred and one point eight.
- 31:37Speaker 3: First time someone reached the two hundred mark this year.
- 31:40Speaker 3: I don't think it happens very often. I think I
- 31:42Speaker 3: saw it a little bit last year, which is crazy
- 31:46Speaker 3: because I thought I saw someone get even higher this
- 31:49Speaker 3: week and then he bettered that, so he he had
- 31:52Speaker 3: the lead, he lost it and he took it back
- 31:54Speaker 3: at the end of the week, So pretty cool.
- 31:57Speaker 2: So diving is getting getting a little intense.
- 32:00Speaker 3: Huh, it is, it is, it's getting pretty good.
- 32:02Speaker 2: I end up with a line brawler or something. Oh
- 32:03Speaker 2: that's hockey.
- 32:04Speaker 3: Uh.
- 32:05Speaker 2: Let's see. We have a new one hundred butterfly time.
- 32:09Speaker 3: Yeah, Michael Ciotti bested his time. He's now fifty eight
- 32:11Speaker 3: point five one seconds.
- 32:13Speaker 2: We also have a new one hundred free style time.
- 32:16Speaker 3: Yep, Hayden Nelson has a new time fifty two point
- 32:20Speaker 3: sixty four from squalkm.
- 32:22Speaker 2: Man, this just seems crazy to me that it's only
- 32:25Speaker 2: six seconds more for the butterfly of the same distance. Like,
- 32:31Speaker 2: I feel like that's a a slower pace, you know
- 32:35Speaker 2: what I mean? Like, right, man, that seems like it
- 32:37Speaker 2: should it should be way like a much different time.
- 32:41Speaker 2: That's that's wild. How about the one hundred backstroke.
- 32:45Speaker 3: Yeah, Hayden Nelson bettered his time again one minute and
- 32:49Speaker 3: one point two to one seconds.
- 32:51Speaker 2: Which that seems like it's cooking too. I mean, yes,
- 32:53Speaker 2: it seems like it's really movement, and I mean you
- 32:57Speaker 2: better make sure you hit the wall or else might
- 32:58Speaker 2: hit your head. Uh. Four hundred freestyle we've got We've
- 33:02Speaker 2: got some new names here, Yeah, it's.
- 33:04Speaker 3: It's some of the same group, but it's a different
- 33:07Speaker 3: it's a different collection from Squalkum Cooper Yardsley, Michael Ciotti,
- 33:11Speaker 3: Mike mac Hofstett, and Hayden Nelson. The Squalkam three minutes
- 33:15Speaker 3: and fifty point sixty nine seconds. Uh, that was just
- 33:18Speaker 3: bettered by about a second. And again I just that's
- 33:22Speaker 3: the best race. It's the final one. It's much like
- 33:25Speaker 3: a track of field event when they do the four
- 33:27Speaker 3: hundred relay or four by four hundred relay, I should say,
- 33:30Speaker 3: and fun way to end the event.
- 33:34Speaker 2: Hayden Nelson is on now. I believe five one, two, three, four,
- 33:39Speaker 2: five different top times in the county. Tyler, Yeah, that's
- 33:43Speaker 2: Has he ever done an intro? That guy needs to

- 35:27Speaker 2: them online etelyndairy dot com E d A L e
- 35:31Speaker 2: e n Dairy dot com. Let's go through, uh, take
- 35:35Speaker 2: a look at the standings and kind of go through
- 35:37Speaker 2: things there we've got. We will start with Seaholme, who
- 35:42Speaker 2: is three and six in league play, five and nine overall,
- 35:45Speaker 2: Mount Baker two and six and six and six, Bellingham
- 35:48Speaker 2: two and six, five and seven, Blaine oh and seven
- 35:51Speaker 2: in the league, and uh two and nine overall. Tyler,
- 35:54Speaker 2: tell me about those four teams. Yeah, it was a
- 35:57Speaker 2: rough week for all of them.
- 35:58Speaker 3: They are all struggled to get even a win this week.
- 36:02Speaker 3: But see them going against some pretty good teams. They're
- 36:06Speaker 3: facing Lynden that's always tough. Sixty nine to sixteen loss there,
- 36:09Speaker 3: and then lost to Lake with fifty five to forty
- 36:11Speaker 3: three in a game that Kate Schroeder had a really
- 36:14Speaker 3: good game. She's just a sophomore. She's a you know,
- 36:17Speaker 3: she's tall enough to be forward but handles like a guard,
- 36:20Speaker 3: so you have that kind of that kind of game.
- 36:23Speaker 3: It's really good. Taylor Terrell has been a great point guard,
- 36:26Speaker 3: and Aspen Barge has been awesome in the middle. So
- 36:28Speaker 3: they have some really good pieces to build around. It's just,
- 36:32Speaker 3: you know, the rest of the players are going to
- 36:34Speaker 3: start picking up. I think at least Pana Ghost is
- 36:36Speaker 3: a really good power forward. They got some shooters. Sadie
- 36:39Speaker 3: Gustafson is really good defensively, and it's just a really
- 36:42Speaker 3: young team and so they're they're struggling a little bit
- 36:46Speaker 3: right now, but they got some great coaches and they'll
- 36:49Speaker 3: they'll be you know, they'll be really good in the
- 36:51Speaker 3: next few years. Matt Baker lost a really tough one
- 36:54Speaker 3: the Linden Christians seventy four to sixteen. I was out
- 36:57Speaker 3: there for that one. It was pretty close in the beginning.
- 37:00Speaker 3: I mean, it was like a it was like thirteen
- 37:02Speaker 3: to eight, thirteen seven something like that at one point,
- 37:05Speaker 3: and then it just kind of just kind of Elsie
- 37:08Speaker 3: just won on a tear after that, and they're just
- 37:10Speaker 3: so hard to stop once they get rolling, and then
- 37:13Speaker 3: they lost a heartbreaker at home against Anta Chordus. I
- 37:16Speaker 3: was there for that one as well. Anacordis really good team,
- 37:19Speaker 3: well above five hundred, and they had them, I mean
- 37:22Speaker 3: they had them. And then Rebecca Sores the superstar, she
- 37:26Speaker 3: fouls out with about four minutes to go in the game,
- 37:29Speaker 3: and that was really really tough. But they still tied
- 37:32Speaker 3: the game later on without her and they were down
- 37:36Speaker 3: by two. They were inbounding under their own basket. The
- 37:39Speaker 3: ball got stolen away and that was the game. So
- 37:42Speaker 3: that was a really tough one because that was when
- 37:44Speaker 3: they had and that would have been a huge, huge
- 37:46Speaker 3: win beating a pretty darn good two way team. Bellingham.
- 37:51Speaker 3: Bellingham actually played awesome this week. I thought, I thought
- 37:54Speaker 3: they played two of their better games. They just played
- 37:56Speaker 3: really good opponents, losing the Lake with sixty eight forty
- 37:59Speaker 3: five and then lost a really close one of Ferndale
- 38:01Speaker 3: fifty two to forty eight. I was out at that one.
- 38:05Speaker 3: I tell you what, Coach McClendon has got to be
- 38:08Speaker 3: up there for Coach of the Year because he's basically
- 38:10Speaker 3: took the exact same group as last year that I
- 38:12Speaker 3: think won three games, and they are in games. I
- 38:16Speaker 3: mean they lost this one to Ferndale fifty two to
- 38:18Speaker 3: forty eight. It was like a thirty point lost. Last year,
- 38:21Speaker 3: like the whole everything's changed with that group, and I
- 38:24Speaker 3: got to give a lot of kudos to coach mcclennon
- 38:26Speaker 3: in his first year and they, you know, they played
- 38:30Speaker 3: extremely well. Maliah Hanks is just she is just so
- 38:34Speaker 3: good at all the little things, like she might not
- 38:36Speaker 3: lead in scoring, but then at the end of the
- 38:38Speaker 3: game you look and she's like among the lead and rebounds,
- 38:40Speaker 3: assists and steals every single game. And that's you know,
- 38:45Speaker 3: just being active and doing all your things. And nobody
- 38:47Speaker 3: claps more after a teammate makes a basket or even
- 38:50Speaker 3: she or even she makes one. Every single time, it's
- 38:53Speaker 3: it's like four or five claps running down and she
- 38:55Speaker 3: just gets so into it and it's just so fun
- 38:57Speaker 3: to watch it. So they're really they're really team to watch,
- 39:00Speaker 3: and it's just been a big turnaround from last year,
- 39:03Speaker 3: which is it's like I said, it's basically the exact
- 39:05Speaker 3: same group. And Blaine only had the one game that
- 39:08Speaker 3: was against Anachordus they lost fifty seven to five. They
- 39:11Speaker 3: were back at it this week they didn't have a
- 39:13Speaker 3: second game. There was a few teams in the conference
- 39:16Speaker 3: that they didn't schedule just because they knew it was
- 39:19Speaker 3: a complete rebuild year. And you know there are certain
- 39:23Speaker 3: high end teams that you're just like, you know, we
- 39:24Speaker 3: don't it's not even worth playing them. So but Blaine,
- 39:27Speaker 3: but Blaine, Wipe get back to playing. I think they're
- 39:29Speaker 3: playing three games this upcoming week.
- 39:32Speaker 2: Next up, we've got Nukzak Valley there six and two
- 39:34Speaker 2: in Conference nine and five overall, Meridians six and three
- 39:37Speaker 2: in Conference ten and four overall, squal Coum five and four,
- 39:40Speaker 2: seven and six, and then Ferndale five and four, seven
- 39:43Speaker 2: and seven.
- 39:45Speaker 3: Yeah, kind of middle of the pack here. Ferndale had
- 39:47Speaker 3: a great week, beating Ceder Woolly fifty three to thirty one.
- 39:50Speaker 3: That was really impressive because Ceder WOOLLI is, you know,
- 39:54Speaker 3: they can play, and they're extremely well coached with Ken Crawford,
- 39:57Speaker 3: and but Ferndale just got after Brooklyn Larrabie in that
- 40:01Speaker 3: game had I want to say, like fifteen points and
- 40:04Speaker 3: seven boards, seven assists, and seven steals, so she was
- 40:08Speaker 3: you know, three away in some of those categories from
- 40:10Speaker 3: a quadruple double which is just crazy. And then they
- 40:15Speaker 3: and then that game against Bellingham where they won fifty
- 40:17Speaker 3: two to forty eight. They did all the right things
- 40:19Speaker 3: to win that game. Jillia Foxx had a tremendous game,
- 40:22Speaker 3: twenty two points played. I think every single minute of
- 40:26Speaker 3: that game, unless she may have sat down for thirty
- 40:28Speaker 3: seconds at the end of a quarter or something. But
- 40:32Speaker 3: that was a really fun game. And it's really cool
- 40:33Speaker 3: too because she's the niece of the Bellingham coach, so
- 40:37Speaker 3: played against her uncle there, which is kind of fun.
- 40:41Speaker 3: So Ferndale they're they're kind of on the upswing right now,
- 40:44Speaker 3: looking looking pretty good. Squalicum had an up and down week,
- 40:46Speaker 3: beating Mount Vernon sixty eight to thirty two, pretty much
- 40:49Speaker 3: handled them, and then and then turn around and losing
- 40:52Speaker 3: to Lenny Christians seventy three to twenty nine. So a
- 40:54Speaker 3: couple of lopsided games, one on each side of the ledger.
- 40:57Speaker 3: There they they were not at full strength with Linny
- 41:00Speaker 3: Christian with some sickness on the team. And then but
- 41:03Speaker 3: a really really awesome game. I went to the doubleheader
- 41:06Speaker 3: girls boys early in the week between Meridian and Nuksack
- 41:09Speaker 3: Valley and that was a you know, we talked about
- 41:11Speaker 3: last week, like the intriguing games, and I was thinking,
- 41:14Speaker 3: I was thinking, well, these are both gonna be great games,
- 41:16Speaker 3: kind of hard to decide, you know, who I think
- 41:18Speaker 3: is gonna win. I go, I think the Meridian Boys
- 41:21Speaker 3: are slightly favored. I think the Knucksack Girls are slightly favored. Well,
- 41:24Speaker 3: both both games would have been upsets then, because you know,
- 41:28Speaker 3: the team I had favored lost in both of those games,
- 41:31Speaker 3: and so it was crazy. But what I loved about
- 41:33Speaker 3: Meridian beating knuk Sack in that game, and they beat
- 41:35Speaker 3: them pretty good, fifty eight to forty two, and it
- 41:37Speaker 3: was pretty much a huge fourth quarter run, a lot
- 41:40Speaker 3: of offensive rebounds. Kinsley Neil hit five threes for a
- 41:44Speaker 3: career high fifteen points, which was obviously that was a
- 41:47Speaker 3: big part of it as well. But again it goes
- 41:50Speaker 3: back to that conversation I had with Bree Joy, the
- 41:55Speaker 3: coach at Meridian, and she was I was saying, like,
- 41:58Speaker 3: this is a really good team, Like She's like, I know,
- 42:01Speaker 3: they just had to mentally know think that they can
- 42:03Speaker 3: that they can get past Knuksack Ballet. You know, they've
- 42:06Speaker 3: always been like, you know, state champs, you know, every
- 42:09Speaker 3: year and it's just hard. It's just hard to it's
- 42:12Speaker 3: a mental block. And I saw her during halftime. She
- 42:15Speaker 3: was when they were walking to the locker room and
- 42:17Speaker 3: they had like a four or five point lead, and
- 42:19Speaker 3: I said, I said, do they believe now, and she's like, yeah,
- 42:22Speaker 3: we just got to keep it going. And then the
- 42:23Speaker 3: fourth quarter they really took off. So I love the
- 42:26Speaker 3: progression that Meridian made it just in that game, but
- 42:29Speaker 3: that in the season as well. And then they turn
- 42:31Speaker 3: around a beatle Carver fifty one to sixteen pretty much
- 42:34Speaker 3: handled them. I was at that one as well, so
- 42:35Speaker 3: I got to see Meridian girls twice and they are
- 42:38Speaker 3: looking really, really good. I am excited for their future.
- 42:41Speaker 3: They just have a little bit of everything, which is
- 42:44Speaker 3: great to see. I mean, every there's no holes, you know.
- 42:46Speaker 3: They they got great play coming off the bench, and
- 42:48Speaker 3: they don't have anybody on the team that averages double figures,
- 42:50Speaker 3: which is another thing I actually kind of like because
- 42:53Speaker 3: they there's so many different players that can contribute so much.
- 42:56Speaker 3: Uh nukszac Bally. Losing that game to Meridian, yeah that
- 42:59Speaker 3: was tough. They turn around and beat Cascade Levenworth on Friday.
- 43:02Speaker 3: They go down there and play an afternoon game on Friday,
- 43:05Speaker 3: so they can go check out the lights at night.
- 43:07Speaker 3: That's pretty cool. I think it's kind of a little
- 43:09Speaker 3: bit of a tradition they might have. But Knoksac Ballely,
- 43:13Speaker 3: you know, six and two in conference play now, they're
- 43:16Speaker 3: they're really good. I mean they will they will do
- 43:19Speaker 3: just fine. I think Grace de Hoogue is now in
- 43:21Speaker 3: double digits for double doubles this year. Had had another
- 43:25Speaker 3: crazy game. I think it was something like, you know,
- 43:28Speaker 3: twenty three points and nineteen rebounds or something like that
- 43:31Speaker 3: in one of those games. And the gaming it's cascades.
- 43:33Speaker 3: So yeah, Nuksack Valley will be.
- 43:36Speaker 2: Just just fine. Last three teams to talk about here,
- 43:40Speaker 2: all three undefeated in the league, play a couple of
- 43:42Speaker 2: losses overall, but Leming Nation they are seven and zero
- 43:46Speaker 2: league play, thirteen and three overall, Lynden Christian eight and
- 43:49Speaker 2: oh and thirteen and two overall, and then Lynden eight
- 43:52Speaker 2: and oh fifteen and overall. Tyler. I'm just kind of
- 43:57Speaker 2: jamming through the scores here really quickly. I see seven
- 44:01Speaker 2: total games, and really it only looks like one of
- 44:03Speaker 2: them that was even all that close.
- 44:06Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, elimination. Played three games this week, beating
- 44:09Speaker 3: Shoreline Christian fifty five to seventeen and the very familiar score,
- 44:13Speaker 3: and the next one to beating two Leila Parrotage fifty
- 44:15Speaker 3: four eighteen, and then and then it was a tough
- 44:18Speaker 3: one against Orchis Island, you know, squeaking that out fifty
- 44:21Speaker 3: to forty four. They were up pretty good. The Vikings
- 44:24Speaker 3: made a big comeback in the fourth quarter, but Jemma
- 44:26Speaker 3: James hit a couple of shots late in that game
- 44:28Speaker 3: to kind of secure it for them, which was huge limentation.
- 44:31Speaker 3: Just you know, they don't they don't start a player
- 44:34Speaker 3: taller than five to five David just they'll just they'll
- 44:37Speaker 3: just run you off the court. And that's what's really
- 44:39Speaker 3: unique about them is is they just they just go, go, go,
- 44:43Speaker 3: and and And the girl that jumps ball, she's five five,
- 44:46Speaker 3: she's a freshman, and and she's you know, she's not
- 44:50Speaker 3: really they don't really drop plays for her. Let's just
- 44:53Speaker 3: say she's gone, she's down there, she'll fight, she gets
- 44:56Speaker 3: a lot of offensive rebounds and then she'll just pass
- 44:59Speaker 3: it back out. That's Laraya Dennis and then the other
- 45:01Speaker 3: four are all extremely quick. They can all dribble, they
- 45:04Speaker 3: can all shoot, they can all pass, they can all
- 45:06Speaker 3: do a lot of things. And so and you know,
- 45:09Speaker 3: I think the other four out of the top five,
- 45:11Speaker 3: out of the five, they're all like in the top
- 45:13Speaker 3: five for steals, you know, in the in the county.
- 45:16Speaker 3: So they're very very yeah, exactly, and they just they
- 45:20Speaker 3: just get after it. So they had a really really
- 45:23Speaker 3: good week Lyndon Christian, Like you said, you know, they
- 45:27Speaker 3: kind of pounded through some teams. Beat Mount Baker seventy
- 45:29Speaker 3: four to sixteen, beat Squalkum seventy three to twenty nine.
- 45:32Speaker 3: They can just really shoot it. I mean they have
- 45:35Speaker 3: they have so many great, great shooters, and you just
- 45:37Speaker 3: look overall, like as a team, they're just well ahead
- 45:42Speaker 3: of so many other teams as far as this field
- 45:44Speaker 3: goal percentage, three point percentage, free throw percentage, and it's
- 45:46Speaker 3: just they just they just take good shots. But they're
- 45:50Speaker 3: great shooters as well, and it's really tough to beat
- 45:52Speaker 3: a team like that. And and you know, I'll mention
- 45:55Speaker 3: it again, they're without their all state player for the
- 45:58Speaker 3: whole year. You know, I just you can just imagine
- 46:00Speaker 3: how it would be if she was on the team too.
- 46:02Speaker 3: But it gives the spotlight. It's kind of spreads it
- 46:06Speaker 3: out a little bit more. And there's a lot of
- 46:07Speaker 3: other girls that are that are kind of filling those
- 46:10Speaker 3: shoes and doing a really good job. And then the
- 46:12Speaker 3: Linen girls, I mean, they're just a buzzsa right now.
- 46:16Speaker 3: And I you know, everyone's looking forward to that Lennon
- 46:19Speaker 3: Linnen Christian matchup that'll be in just a couple of weeks.
- 46:22Speaker 3: It's gonna be fantastic. Linen beats Homes sixty nine to sixteen.
- 46:26Speaker 3: And then they were and they're ranked number one in
- 46:28Speaker 3: the RPI, and then they faced Burlington Edison, who's ranked
- 46:30Speaker 3: two in the RPI for two way and they just
- 46:33Speaker 3: took it to them. I mean, it was a one
- 46:35Speaker 3: point game after the first quarter, but then it was
- 46:36Speaker 3: just downhill after that for Burlington Edison. And and what
- 46:40Speaker 3: was unique about that game was Finley Partcher, who the
- 46:42Speaker 3: star player for the Lions, did not have a great game.
- 46:45Speaker 3: I think she was three for seventeen from the field
- 46:48Speaker 3: and over six from three point land and she only
- 46:51Speaker 3: made three of her six foul shots. And so they
- 46:54Speaker 3: played her extremely tough, they were physical with her, but
- 46:58Speaker 3: she was able to get fifteen rebound. She had like
- 47:01Speaker 3: four assists and five steels, so she did a lot
- 47:03Speaker 3: of other things, but other players stepped up. Ryan Stephan
- 47:06Speaker 3: had double digit scoring for the first time this year.
- 47:08Speaker 3: Shout out to Ryan Stephan two, who was offered by
- 47:12Speaker 3: University of Washington for volleyball, which is amazing, really really
- 47:16Speaker 3: cool there. And Peyton Mills had had a great game
- 47:21Speaker 3: as well, and so and Keiki York hit a couple
- 47:23Speaker 3: of threes. So the other players stepped up and did
- 47:25Speaker 3: some really good things. With Finley Partcher just kind of
- 47:29Speaker 3: having an off shooting night, and that's gonna happen every
- 47:31Speaker 3: once in a while. And when you're going against a
- 47:33Speaker 3: really good team like Burlington Edison, you need other players
- 47:36Speaker 3: to step up if something's happening, and they and they did,
- 47:39Speaker 3: and it made the score look like a normal Linden score,
- 47:42Speaker 3: which is really impressive.
- 47:44Speaker 2: I was just looking actually I was doing it even
- 47:47Speaker 2: before you said it. It was actually doing I think
- 47:49Speaker 2: when you were talking about Nook sach Maradian and those teams.
- 47:53Speaker 2: Lynd and Lyndon Christian February. First, it's a Saturday, and
- 47:57Speaker 2: the girls are I believe two thirty pm at LC
- 48:01Speaker 2: and then the boys are seven fifteen at Lindon.
- 48:03Speaker 3: Yeah, so everyone goes check. Then they all go to dinner,
- 48:08Speaker 3: and then they all.

- 49:29Speaker 2: get a tailgate going or something.
- 49:30Speaker 3: You know, I haven't been to the Linen Linen Christian.
- 49:32Speaker 3: You know, they've been doing these doubleheaders for a while
- 49:34Speaker 3: and it's always just crazy, and I just it's it's
- 49:39Speaker 3: tough for me because the crowds are so big and
- 49:42Speaker 3: it's so it's just shoulders shoulder everywhere. I mean, even
- 49:45Speaker 3: like the press area. I mean it's just boom boom boo,
- 49:47Speaker 3: boom boom, and you know, so I I like watching
- 49:50Speaker 3: them online. But if you did, if you did come up,
- 49:54Speaker 3: I would make an appearance.
- 49:55Speaker 2: Might have to look into it. I don't know what. Uh,
- 49:58Speaker 2: I don't off the top of my head, I don't
- 49:59Speaker 2: think I've anything going on that day, so I might
- 50:03Speaker 2: have to look into that one.
- 50:04Speaker 3: You know.
- 50:04Speaker 2: I'm kind of looking to get out every now and
- 50:06Speaker 2: then and go watch some other teams other than Bothel
- 50:08Speaker 2: because yeah, I mean, I love the KuPS, but my goodness,
- 50:11Speaker 2: there's some things that just go on to those games
- 50:13Speaker 2: that make me want to punch myself in the face. Tyler.
- 50:16Speaker 2: That is a look around the county as far as
- 50:18Speaker 2: games go and standings. Let's talk about stat leaders here,
- 50:23Speaker 2: and the stats are sponsored by Acceleration Driving School in
- 50:27Speaker 2: Lynden phone number three six zero seven four to six
- 50:30Speaker 2: four five six seven. You got to know somebody that
- 50:34Speaker 2: needs to learn how to drive, whether it's a mom
- 50:37Speaker 2: and dad that maybe need to learn how to drive,
- 50:39Speaker 2: or you know, the kids. Somebody's got to know. But yeah,
- 50:44Speaker 2: let's talk stat leaders here and we will start with
- 50:47Speaker 2: points per game Tyler.
- 50:49Speaker 3: Yeah, Fin Departser's still holding onto that even despite the
- 50:52Speaker 3: off game that she had, She's at twenty one and
- 50:54Speaker 3: a half points per game. Unreal number.
- 50:57Speaker 2: How about rebounds per game?
- 50:59Speaker 3: Yeah, Grace Hogue of Nooksack Valley still holding strong on that.
- 51:02Speaker 3: Fifteen rebounds a game. Again, that's an incredible number. I
- 51:06Speaker 3: mean usually you know, if you're above ten, that's really
- 51:08Speaker 3: really good. She's at fifteen still, and the season is
- 51:11Speaker 3: more than halfway over. Assists per game Lexi Robbins and
- 51:15Speaker 3: Squalicum five point six assists.
- 51:16Speaker 2: Still, She's she's just so good.
- 51:19Speaker 3: At running that that that team and the great speed,
- 51:22Speaker 3: and and she's just a sophomore with a lot of
- 51:24Speaker 3: sophomores around her. So it's gonna be a fun uh,
- 51:26Speaker 3: gonna be fun to watch them grow as a team.
- 51:29Speaker 2: You've got a blue one here for steels per game,
- 51:31Speaker 2: which I assume means a new girl in there.
- 51:35Speaker 3: Yeah. Brooklyn Larrabie has overtaken the the well, the whole
- 51:39Speaker 3: nation of Lemon nation. She's out five and a half
- 51:42Speaker 3: steals per game. It's basically been her with four players
- 51:45Speaker 3: from the Blackhawks on that top five. And and she
- 51:50Speaker 3: she reigns supreme now, which is she's just she's had
- 51:52Speaker 3: a great week and and a great last the last
- 51:55Speaker 3: four games. I think she's right around like seven and
- 51:58Speaker 3: a half or eight steals per game. Just that that
- 52:00Speaker 3: defense is phenomenal she has.
- 52:02Speaker 2: I didn't even think about it. You're talking about on
- 52:04Speaker 2: your on your five graphic. Yeah, on your graphic, it's
- 52:08Speaker 2: it's just her and some Blackhawks. So that's kind of funny. Yeah,
- 52:13Speaker 2: let's see what is next. We've got blocks per game.
- 52:16Speaker 3: Yeah, aspen barge of sea homes. Still holding onto that that.
- 52:19Speaker 3: This is six weeks in a row now, two point
- 52:22Speaker 3: three blocks per game.
- 52:23Speaker 2: My goodness. Field goal percentage.
- 52:27Speaker 3: Alison Shoemate from lynnon Christian the senior forward. She's actually
- 52:31Speaker 3: up to percentage a few points from this past week.
- 52:33Speaker 3: She's now at sixty five percent, making seventy eight out
- 52:36Speaker 3: of her one twenty shots.
- 52:38Speaker 2: We're looking at that graphic right now, Tyler. That is
- 52:40Speaker 2: really funny. Like the background is exactly the same because
- 52:44Speaker 2: they're all in front of the bleachers. The colors are
- 52:46Speaker 2: the same, the logos are the same. Like that is
- 52:49Speaker 2: really really funny. I don't even know where we're at.
- 52:53Speaker 2: Field goal three point something? What do we got, Tyler?
- 52:56Speaker 3: Three point percentage? Daniel Daigsher from Lynn and Christian all
- 53:00Speaker 3: holding strong at over fifty percent at fifty two point
- 53:04Speaker 3: five of forty eight just crazy, uh free throw percentage
- 53:09Speaker 3: and this is Finley Parker still barely holding on she
- 53:12Speaker 3: had she was three for six against Burlington Edison, but
- 53:15Speaker 3: still over eighty percent on the year, eighty point four percent.
- 53:18Speaker 3: The sophomore from Linden. She has made forty five of
- 53:21Speaker 3: her fifty six free throws. Crazy.
- 53:25Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. All right, that is stat Leaders again
- 53:28Speaker 2: sponsored by Acceleration Driving School and Linden three six zero
- 53:30Speaker 2: seven four six four five six seven. Uh, that is
- 53:35Speaker 2: it for girls basketball. Let's jump over and talk about
- 53:37Speaker 2: boys basketball, and you know Edelin Dairy. They also sponsor
- 53:40Speaker 2: the boys score boards, which uh, you know means some

- 54:16Speaker 2: them a call at three six zero six seven to
- 54:19Speaker 2: one thirty three eighty one. Tyler, I need to take
- 54:22Speaker 2: a deep breath. Okay, let's talk about Squalicum. They are
- 54:27Speaker 2: two and seven in league play, six and eight overall,
- 54:30Speaker 2: Mount Baker two and seven, seven and seven overall. See
- 54:34Speaker 2: Home two and seven, four and ten overall, and then
- 54:36Speaker 2: Blaine that they are zero to nine and three and
- 54:38Speaker 2: ten overall. Looks like another rough week for these four.
- 54:43Speaker 3: Yeah, all of them played two games, all had losses there,
- 54:46Speaker 3: some close, some not so close. Blaine lost Anacordus sixty
- 54:51Speaker 3: seven to thirty seven at home. It was good to see,
- 54:54Speaker 3: you know, some of their players back of Dual Kanaji
- 54:56Speaker 3: Josiah Weeda there. They were back full strength, but just
- 55:00Speaker 3: had a rough one there against Seahawks and a quarters
- 55:02Speaker 3: likes to shoot it outside a lot, and when they
- 55:03Speaker 3: get hot, they're really, really tough to beat, and that's
- 55:06Speaker 3: what got them there. And then they lost to Knuksack
- 55:08Speaker 3: Valley seventy six to thirty five. It's just been a
- 55:11Speaker 3: tough one for the border rights right now, a lot
- 55:13Speaker 3: of times they're in games, but then they'll have one
- 55:16Speaker 3: tough quarter. Now things are just starting to you know,
- 55:20Speaker 3: it's really not really working for them right now. It's
- 55:23Speaker 3: hard to say exactly what it is, but it's just
- 55:28Speaker 3: it's just the way it goes sometimes. And when you're
- 55:30Speaker 3: in a tough league, you just have tough game after
- 55:32Speaker 3: tough game after tough game, and that's that's that's you know,
- 55:35Speaker 3: it's it's really it's really hard. On the season. See Home,
- 55:39Speaker 3: see Holm lost to Lindon sixty three to thirty six.
- 55:42Speaker 3: I was there for the first half of that game
- 55:45Speaker 3: and and see Home led after the first quarter. Nolan
- 55:49Speaker 3: Wright hit a three to put them up by one.
- 55:51Speaker 3: But you know, overall, you know, it's just so tough.
- 55:55Speaker 3: But see Home, one of the smallest teams in the
- 55:57Speaker 3: league going against you know, the giants of lind and
- 56:00Speaker 3: who they start a front line of you know, six four,
- 56:03Speaker 3: sixty six and six seven. That's that's just tough to beat.
- 56:08Speaker 3: I don't care who you are. But then they turn
- 56:10Speaker 3: around and played Lakewood really really really well and they
- 56:13Speaker 3: lost fifty four to fifty. Lakewood is a really good team,
- 56:16Speaker 3: so that that showed that showed me a lot.
- 56:20Speaker 2: They did.
- 56:20Speaker 3: They did come on the losing end of that. But
- 56:23Speaker 3: Xavier Kelly in that game, I think he had like
- 56:24Speaker 3: twenty five points and fourteen rebounds or something like that.
- 56:28Speaker 2: And he's he's.
- 56:29Speaker 3: Really turned into a great player who I don't even
- 56:32Speaker 3: know if he played varsity last year. He may have
- 56:34Speaker 3: suited up a little bit here and there. But he's
- 56:36Speaker 3: one of those guys that just kind of came on
- 56:38Speaker 3: the scene and just blown me away. So the Mariners
- 56:41Speaker 3: have a good one there. He's just a junior. Mount
- 56:44Speaker 3: Baker lost, you know, a big one to Lennon Christian there,
- 56:47Speaker 3: ninety two to forty. That's that was that that was tough.
- 56:51Speaker 3: I mean, Lenny Christian is just when they get rolling
- 56:54Speaker 3: and they get running and they get shooting, they just
- 56:56Speaker 3: steamroll you. And that's just the way it's always been,
- 56:59Speaker 3: seems like forever. But then they went on the road
- 57:01Speaker 3: to Anacordus lost that one, sixty to forty five. They
- 57:05Speaker 3: you know, they were just it was a three point
- 57:07Speaker 3: shooting contest almost in that one early on, but eventually
- 57:10Speaker 3: Anna Chordas just made just just made more cal Ruden
- 57:13Speaker 3: to have a double double in that one, but couldn't
- 57:15Speaker 3: couldn't pick up the win. Squalk them lost a heartbreaker
- 57:19Speaker 3: to Mount Vernon sixty seven to sixty six in overtime.
- 57:24Speaker 3: I was watching that game online and it was crazy
- 57:27Speaker 3: because it goes into overtime and then squal It comes
- 57:30Speaker 3: up by two and Mount Vernon's, you know, going to
- 57:32Speaker 3: take a game winning shot and they and they take it,
- 57:37Speaker 3: and the ball bounced like three times on the rim
- 57:39Speaker 3: before it went in, and so the whole crowd ran
- 57:41Speaker 3: out on the court and and everything, and I think
- 57:45Speaker 3: the game even got what's the word appealed or whatever.
- 57:52Speaker 2: Protested.
- 57:53Speaker 3: They protested because it looked from the camera view I saw,
- 57:56Speaker 3: and that's probably what they saw too, it looked like
- 57:58Speaker 3: his foot.
- 57:59Speaker 2: Was on the line.
- 57:59Speaker 3: There's was on the line when he shot it, which
- 58:01Speaker 3: would have tied the game, and you put him to
- 58:03Speaker 3: a second overtime. And then but then there was other
- 58:06Speaker 3: security footage that was kind of above, more straight ahead,
- 58:09Speaker 3: and they it showed that it was not it was
- 58:12Speaker 3: he was behind the line, just just barely. So if
- 58:14Speaker 3: you're going to protest the game, that would have been
- 58:16Speaker 3: the perfect one to do. They just didn't win and
- 58:20Speaker 3: that was that was really tough. And then losing to
- 58:21Speaker 3: Linny Christian eighty to fifty two. They were actually with
- 58:23Speaker 3: them for a while, and they were without Marcus Nixon
- 58:27Speaker 3: and Lackey Fungatua wasn't playing either, So you get two
- 58:30Speaker 3: of your best athletes that are not playing and going
- 58:32Speaker 3: against Lennon Christian and you hang with them for a
- 58:34Speaker 3: little bit. That was really impressive they had there there.
- 58:39Speaker 3: There are two leading scorers were actually kids that started
- 58:42Speaker 3: the year on JV, wow, Blake Blake Elston, and they
- 58:45Speaker 3: are both sophomores, Blake Elston and O'Ryan Grandberg Kittle. Yeah.
- 58:51Speaker 3: So and they, like I said it, both started the
- 58:53Speaker 3: year on JV. Grandberg Kittle was on JV just a
- 58:57Speaker 3: week and a half ago. So, I mean, this is
- 59:00Speaker 3: Squalicum is going through some sickness and all sorts of
- 59:02Speaker 3: crazy things and just trying to fill a roster and
- 59:05Speaker 3: and and but they but they're playing hard under new
- 59:08Speaker 3: head coach did David Dunham, and they're they're really fun
- 59:11Speaker 3: to watch. And and I know Hunter Calloway played in
- 59:14Speaker 3: that game, probably their best overall basketball player, and he
- 59:17Speaker 3: was extremely sick, but he played anyways, and did you
- 59:20Speaker 3: know it fought hard and it's tough against those links.
- 59:24Speaker 2: Next up, we've got Ferndale five and four in conference,
- 59:27Speaker 2: seven and seven overall, Bellingham also five and four and
- 59:29Speaker 2: seven and seven, and then Knikzack Valley they are four
- 59:32Speaker 2: and five and eight and five overall.
- 59:34Speaker 3: Yeah, Nuickzack Valley again another huge week. I mean they've
- 59:38Speaker 3: won I think all they like you said, four conference
- 59:41Speaker 3: wins this that that's been their last four games that
- 59:44Speaker 3: they've played. So they were zero and five in conference
- 59:46Speaker 3: at one point, really turned things around, beating Meridian fifty
- 59:50Speaker 3: four to fifty three, game winner on a great game
- 59:53Speaker 3: winning lay in by Cayden hough tink With as time expired.
- 59:56Speaker 3: I happened to be underneath the oop at that point
- 59:59Speaker 3: next th three, next to Randy Small, of course, because
- 1:00:02Speaker 3: wherever he is, crazy things happen. And it was so
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: funny because I was like, I was like, well, let's
- 1:00:09Speaker 3: see here, there's six seconds left, they're down by one.
- 1:00:12Speaker 3: I'm underneath that hoop. I better take video of this.
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: And then of course Randy comes over to me. He goes, hey,
- 1:00:17Speaker 3: get your get your video ready. You never know what's
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: gonna happen because he's always there when the big things happen.
- 1:00:23Speaker 3: And people remember last year's district game to get into
- 1:00:27Speaker 3: state was decided on a crazy lay in at the
- 1:00:30Speaker 3: last second between these two teams. When when when Meridian won,
- 1:00:33Speaker 3: So this was just this was just crazy and it
- 1:00:36Speaker 3: was a great play. You know, Hugh Tink coming off
- 1:00:39Speaker 3: the screen, the Ackerman set get, gets the ball back,
- 1:00:43Speaker 3: does that kind of a jump step around. He's got
- 1:00:45Speaker 3: really long arms, knows how to use the backboard finishes
- 1:00:48Speaker 3: and and that that was it. And it was a huge,
- 1:00:50Speaker 3: huge play for knuckxack Valley to get that win. And
- 1:00:53Speaker 3: then they use that momentum and take it to Blaine
- 1:00:55Speaker 3: seventy six to thirty five. So the Pioneers looking really
- 1:00:59Speaker 3: good right now and they're doing it at the right time,
- 1:01:01Speaker 3: and it's a it's a really really good team. And man,
- 1:01:06Speaker 3: I just you know, I kind of thought it would
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: come together a little earlier and it just wasn't. But
- 1:01:11Speaker 3: now it's starting to happen, So I guess better later
- 1:01:13Speaker 3: than earlier. Ferndale and Bellingham actually played each other this
- 1:01:17Speaker 3: week after both teams lost earlier in the week. But
- 1:01:20Speaker 3: when they when they when they played each other. I
- 1:01:22Speaker 3: thought it was going to be a great game. I
- 1:01:23Speaker 3: was out there for that one, and it was Ferndale
- 1:01:26Speaker 3: smoked him. I mean they were up fifteen to nothing
- 1:01:28Speaker 3: early and they just they just rolled eighty seven to
- 1:01:31Speaker 3: forty nine, hitting a lot of shots. Hunter Wills had
- 1:01:34Speaker 3: a great game. He's kind of that third option that
- 1:01:38Speaker 3: with they have Joonah Polowski and Montage sing, so Hunter
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: Wills is it's nice to have a third option that's
- 1:01:44Speaker 3: six ' five and can shoot it and can and
- 1:01:46Speaker 3: can can you can break to the basket. And he
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: had like he had a career high game and he
- 1:01:51Speaker 3: had like twenty four points or something like that. Just
- 1:01:53Speaker 3: a huge, huge game, which was really good to see.
- 1:01:56Speaker 3: And they that team, man, they are They're scary, especially
- 1:02:01Speaker 3: at home. You know, they lost a Linden at home,
- 1:02:04Speaker 3: which doesn't you know, that's that's pretty normal. And then
- 1:02:06Speaker 3: they lost a Mariner at home earlier in the season.
- 1:02:08Speaker 3: But other than that, they haven't lost anybody else at home.
- 1:02:11Speaker 3: They play really well there. And Bellingham right now, I
- 1:02:13Speaker 3: don't know what's going on. They lost the Lake with
- 1:02:15Speaker 3: seventy to thirty five, and I mean Lake would just
- 1:02:18Speaker 3: beat a lot of other walking count of teams, but
- 1:02:20Speaker 3: not by that much and then losing that one eighty
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: seven to forty nine. So something's going on with Bellingham.
- 1:02:25Speaker 3: It's kind of hard to say, hard to see what
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: it is because they it's all the same players, and
- 1:02:30Speaker 3: they've always been able to put up points. They're just
- 1:02:32Speaker 3: they're just not able to put them up recently. And
- 1:02:35Speaker 3: I don't know if teams are starting to figure out,
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: you know, how to play against them a little better
- 1:02:38Speaker 3: after getting some film. But something's got to happen now
- 1:02:42Speaker 3: with with with the BayHawks if they want to, you know,
- 1:02:45Speaker 3: right the ship and get close to districts and gets
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: picked pick ups and wins.
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: Here last, but certainly not least here, Tyler. We've got Meridian.
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: They are six and three in Conference ten and four overall,
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: Leming Nation four and one in Conference thirteen and two overall,
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: and then Linden and Linden Christian they're both undefeated in
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: conference at nine to zero, Linden undefeated overall fourteen and
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: oh Lennon Christian fourteen and one.
- 1:03:10Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm Meridian. That losing that heartbreaker to Nuxack Valley
- 1:03:13Speaker 3: that was tough fifty four to fifty three. There was
- 1:03:16Speaker 3: a moment there in the third quarter in that game
- 1:03:18Speaker 3: when Jager Fife and Tallon Jenkins both had four fouls
- 1:03:22Speaker 3: like halfway through the third and so you're so you
- 1:03:25Speaker 3: have to sit your two studs. And they were basically
- 1:03:27Speaker 3: playing with five guards out there, and two of them
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: were swing guys that played JV and they were staying
- 1:03:35Speaker 3: with Nukxack Valley. So they were doing everything they could
- 1:03:37Speaker 3: to stay in that game. You know, they lost it
- 1:03:39Speaker 3: at the end, and that was tough. Two teams that
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: know each other extremely well, and they go down to
- 1:03:43Speaker 3: play Okarber and O. Carber has really struggled this year,
- 1:03:46Speaker 3: not having a great year. And that's a close game.
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: I mean, for a split second, I thought the Wildcats
- 1:03:52Speaker 3: won because they hit a shot, they had a three
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: pointer with with with no time left, but they they
- 1:03:59Speaker 3: determined that the shot was let go before the buzzer
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: hit and I and I have the ability to watch
- 1:04:05Speaker 3: it again. Yeah, I'm sorry the shot was released before
- 1:04:08Speaker 3: or after the buzzer had already sounded. Yeah, And I
- 1:04:11Speaker 3: was able to watch it, and it was that they
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: were right. It was really close. Uh, but they were right,
- 1:04:17Speaker 3: and my goodness, that was. That was a crazy one
- 1:04:20Speaker 3: because again I think there was some foul trouble in
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: that one. I think Talon Jenkins fouled out of that game.
- 1:04:26Speaker 3: So you're really relying on Jager fIF he hits free
- 1:04:28Speaker 3: throws down the stretch. Pierce Brozowski hits a big three,
- 1:04:31Speaker 3: uh late, late late in that game to keep them
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: in it, and they pull it out sixty four to
- 1:04:35Speaker 3: sixty two. So Meriadan struggling a little bit right now,
- 1:04:40Speaker 3: but they're just such a good team that when they're
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: you know, when they're really rolling, they're they're doing some
- 1:04:45Speaker 3: good things. And Trey Alexander has really stepped up his
- 1:04:48Speaker 3: game this past week. Uh. He scored thirteen points in
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: that game against Knuksack Valley. I think he led all
- 1:04:53Speaker 3: scores for the Trojans. And then he had another really
- 1:04:57Speaker 3: good game against against Oak Harbor, really good ast that
- 1:05:00Speaker 3: you know, it just can do so many you know,
- 1:05:02Speaker 3: little things that you just go home, my goodness. That was.
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: You know he did that too, and you know, picking
- 1:05:07Speaker 3: up an offensive rebound and then kick kicking it out
- 1:05:09Speaker 3: and hitting an open three, and just you know, you
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: gotta have guys like that. You got to have those
- 1:05:13Speaker 3: those those glue guys. Lemon Nation lost their first, you know,
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: their first league game to Tulela Parrotage sixty eight to
- 1:05:21Speaker 3: sixty three. That was an amazing game to watch. Tulila
- 1:05:24Speaker 3: Parentage rank the number one team in the state for
- 1:05:27Speaker 3: the for one B and it was it was It
- 1:05:30Speaker 3: was just such a great rivalry game. I mean, it
- 1:05:33Speaker 3: was so cool to see that the place was completely
- 1:05:36Speaker 3: packed tiny gym, and so there's just people standing like
- 1:05:40Speaker 3: right on the baseline. I mean it's you know, circled around.
- 1:05:44Speaker 3: There's a great YouTube video. Tulela Parentage does a really
- 1:05:48Speaker 3: good job covering games and doing it on YouTube and
- 1:05:51Speaker 3: with like multiple cameras and and it's fun to watch
- 1:05:54Speaker 3: that one because you can really see how close everybody
- 1:05:58Speaker 3: is and and these are two teams that know each
- 1:06:00Speaker 3: other really well. And it was a great game. Lem
- 1:06:02Speaker 3: Me had the lead or late late in the game.
- 1:06:04Speaker 3: They had a double digit lead, i think even going
- 1:06:06Speaker 3: into the fourth quarter, but we're not We're not able
- 1:06:10Speaker 3: to hold on to that. They're gonna play again in
- 1:06:11Speaker 3: a few weeks, so that's going to be an awesome game.
- 1:06:14Speaker 3: I am excited to go down and check that one out.
- 1:06:16Speaker 3: And then they took it out on Orchest Island a
- 1:06:18Speaker 3: few days later, sixty three to twenty nine. Yeah, it is,
- 1:06:23Speaker 3: you know, elimination is just really really good. And they're
- 1:06:26Speaker 3: starting to get back to full health right now, which
- 1:06:29Speaker 3: is huge because they just they seems like they have
- 1:06:32Speaker 3: not had a game where everybody was healthy at the
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: same time. So so we'll see how that goes going
- 1:06:37Speaker 3: going forward. Lennon and Lennon Christian just you know, again
- 1:06:40Speaker 3: just just terrorizing the rest of the league. Lenny Christian
- 1:06:43Speaker 3: beating Mount Baker ninety two to forty. Gannon Dykstra goes
- 1:06:46Speaker 3: off for forty points in that one. He's eight for
- 1:06:49Speaker 3: eleven from three point range. He is just ridiculously good.
- 1:06:54Speaker 3: I mean, I don't even know what else to say.
- 1:06:57Speaker 3: It's it's so impressive. And then they beat Squalkum later
- 1:07:00Speaker 3: on the week eighty to fifty two, and his little brother,
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: Gunner Dikstra ties a school record by hitting nine three
- 1:07:06Speaker 3: pointers in a game. He goes nine for eleven, scores
- 1:07:09Speaker 3: twenty seven points, So I mean, they can just really
- 1:07:12Speaker 3: shoot it. And then I think the unsung hero there
- 1:07:14Speaker 3: was Caden Veldman, who is just he had his ninth
- 1:07:16Speaker 3: double double of the year. You know, he's the best
- 1:07:20Speaker 3: interior defender as well. It's such a it's just they're
- 1:07:24Speaker 3: just they're really dynamic and really really fun to watch.
- 1:07:28Speaker 3: And then Linden is just systematic. I mean, beating Steelms
- 1:07:30Speaker 3: sixty three to thirty six, and you know, just doing
- 1:07:36Speaker 3: it like the way that they do it. You know,
- 1:07:38Speaker 3: Spencer Adams hitting outside shots, Brent Hepner doing a little
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: bit of everything, and it's like you don't even realize it.
- 1:07:45Speaker 3: It's like water torture almost, and all of a sudden
- 1:07:47Speaker 3: you look up and they're up by twenty and it's
- 1:07:48Speaker 3: like where did how did we get here? Like it,
- 1:07:52Speaker 3: they just they're so systematic and just they're so good.
- 1:07:54Speaker 3: And then when they beat Brilington Edison, Yeah, the score
- 1:07:57Speaker 3: was great, sixty four to forty. It was a close
- 1:08:00Speaker 3: game after one quarter. But what I loved about that
- 1:08:02Speaker 3: when it was that Jack Stapleton came back. He's missed
- 1:08:04Speaker 3: the majority of the season. He's been out since you know,
- 1:08:07Speaker 3: early December, basically coming back score thirteen points in limited minutes.
- 1:08:12Speaker 3: I think he pulled play like ten or eleven minutes.
- 1:08:14Speaker 3: So that was so great to see him come back
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: and do well. Malachi Canan had a big game. He
- 1:08:19Speaker 3: had thirteen points, so the two of them actually led
- 1:08:22Speaker 3: them in scoring. And it's a rare game when Brent
- 1:08:25Speaker 3: Hepner does not lead in scoring. So it's good to
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: see some other guys do some good things. Lyndon looking
- 1:08:30Speaker 3: really really good right now. It's crazy because Lennen and
- 1:08:32Speaker 3: Linn and Christian. If I had to pick a winner,
- 1:08:34Speaker 3: it's really hard to say, but it's like Linden Christians
- 1:08:38Speaker 3: their their games are all blowouts for the most part,
- 1:08:41Speaker 3: and Linden's they just they just find ways to win sometimes.
- 1:08:46Speaker 3: But you'd almost have to still give it to Linden
- 1:08:48Speaker 3: if they played whether when they play each other, because
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: it's just there's just something about them. I don't know
- 1:08:54Speaker 3: what it is. It's like it's almost kind of like
- 1:08:56Speaker 3: in football too, where they don't really blow you out
- 1:08:58Speaker 3: in football, they just they just win all the time.
- 1:09:01Speaker 3: So it's very very similar.
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: Tyler. I was just out of curiosity wanted to see,
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: like who all does lamination into Tulila Heritage play. I
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: see this one school and I'm like, I know where
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: that school's at, and I click on it to figure
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: it out. I drive right by it every morning on
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: the way to Bathel. Unbelievable. But yeah, I'm just looking
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: over the Tulala Heritage and my goodness, man, they beat
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: the crap out of everybody. I mean, they put up
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: a ton of points. Their lowest output on the season
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: is sixty. That's the fewest they've scored in a game,
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: is sixty.
- 1:09:34Speaker 3: I mean yeah, And I was singing the praises of elimination.
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: I was already proclaiming them state champs and everything like that,
- 1:09:39Speaker 3: and Tulala Perriage really showed me a lot. I do
- 1:09:43Speaker 3: think they're beatable. I mean, I really think Lemonation is
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: gonna get them that next time when it's when it's
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: at their place, and then of course they'll probably play
- 1:09:50Speaker 3: each other in districts and state and all that stuff. Yeah,
- 1:09:53Speaker 3: it's gonna be awesome. I you know, there are there
- 1:09:55Speaker 3: are better teams than probably I realized, you know, but
- 1:09:59Speaker 3: I really think that Nation, especially when they're at full strength,
- 1:10:02Speaker 3: and they're gonna be such a hard team to deal with,
- 1:10:05Speaker 3: you know.
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: Tyler, let me Nation toile Heritage. They play Friday the
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: thirty first at seven fifteen.
- 1:10:12Speaker 3: Oh, so you're gonna come maybe day early.
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, yeah, what's the what's the
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: breakfast breakfast situation? Like up there in Waukham County, Tyler,
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: I mean where would I have to go? I mean
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: I could be convinced here. I mean we could uh yeah,
- 1:10:28Speaker 2: maybe we get a sponsor and I just go nuts
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: and just uh, somebody want to sponsor a fat guy
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: weekend where all I'm doing is eating food all over
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: Walkham County and talking about basketball.
- 1:10:37Speaker 3: I tell you what, let Tyler go to. I go
- 1:10:39Speaker 3: to Cedars Cedars Restaurant in Ferndale once a week with
- 1:10:43Speaker 3: Jo consensus. We usually go on Mondays and awesome, awesome
- 1:10:48Speaker 3: portions for a really good price. And we've been around
- 1:10:52Speaker 3: for over one hundred years, and it is, you know,
- 1:10:56Speaker 3: since we both have in Ferndale. It's a nice place
- 1:10:58Speaker 3: to go and meet.
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: So looking burger here, Tyler.
- 1:11:01Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I've had it the last couple times because
- 1:11:04Speaker 3: we've been going a little later recently.
- 1:11:06Speaker 2: So onions, bacon and egg. I mean, let me tell you, oh,
- 1:11:12Speaker 2: those flapjacks look good.
- 1:11:14Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I bring them home for miss walking PEPs.
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: I like it. Whoa, whoa that prime rib looks spectacular, Tyler.
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: I might just camp out there. We need to give
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: them a call see if they want sponsor, and I'll
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: just eat there. And you know what their their logo here,
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: They do have a cheers looking logo that says Caesars. Yeah, Tyler,
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: that's it for the I guess weekly recap if you will.
- 1:11:39Speaker 2: As far as boys basketball goes again, thank you to
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: Edilne Dairy and Mosseeri Construction for their sponsorship. There we've
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: got stat leaders, Tyler. And that is brought to you
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: by Acceleration Driving School and Lindon phone number is three
- 1:11:53Speaker 2: six zero seven four six four five six seven. I
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: could probably use some driving tips for coming up there
- 1:12:01Speaker 2: to walk them County. I mean yeah, maybe I'll swing
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: in and they can. They can watch me drive around
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: up the Guide meridian or something and see what goes on.
- 1:12:09Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know, but yeah, we've got a
- 1:12:12Speaker 2: couple of new I mean new names, but names that
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: we know, that's for sure. But let's start here with
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: points per game Tyler.
- 1:12:21Speaker 3: Yeah, how about that Gannon Dykster scores forty points in
- 1:12:24Speaker 3: a game and his points per game just goes up one.
- 1:12:27Speaker 3: I mean, but still when you're at that many twenty
- 1:12:30Speaker 3: four point eight points per game. That is just that
- 1:12:33Speaker 3: is crazy high. That is ridiculously high. I can't remember
- 1:12:37Speaker 3: the last time it's been that high in the in
- 1:12:40Speaker 3: the county for the for the boys side. Really really impressive. Again,
- 1:12:45Speaker 3: he's a guy that can really shoot the lights out.
- 1:12:47Speaker 3: The shooting has come around. He struggled a little bit
- 1:12:50Speaker 3: early in the year, probably a very good shooting performance
- 1:12:53Speaker 3: for most players, but for him it was a little
- 1:12:55Speaker 3: bit lower than he won. He was under thirty percent
- 1:12:57Speaker 3: from threes. But now he's starting to him he's going
- 1:13:00Speaker 3: he's getting over that that that number now and and
- 1:13:03Speaker 3: uh when when when he's hot, there's nobody better.
- 1:13:07Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about rebounds per game, Tyler.
- 1:13:10Speaker 3: Yeah, Caden Veldman. I mean, if Dykstra ever does happen
- 1:13:13Speaker 3: to miss one, Kayden Veldman just grabs it, puts it back.
- 1:13:16Speaker 3: Caden Veldman at nine point nine rebounds a game. He's
- 1:13:20Speaker 3: averaging double figures as well, So he's just a you know,
- 1:13:23Speaker 3: he is a double doubles machine and just a sophomore,
- 1:13:26Speaker 3: like I said, and he's not it's not like he's
- 1:13:28Speaker 3: a six to seven kid. He's six three and a
- 1:13:29Speaker 3: half six four, So works extremely hard under the paint
- 1:13:34Speaker 3: and or in the paint, I should say under the
- 1:13:36Speaker 3: basket and and above the basket a lot of the
- 1:13:38Speaker 3: time too. Great athlete.
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: Uh the next two assists and steals per game, same guy, yep.
- 1:13:44Speaker 3: Still Jerome Toby of elimination just knows how to get
- 1:13:49Speaker 3: his teammates involved. And he's such a good defensive player too,
- 1:13:51Speaker 3: and playing the passing lanes and and just leaping up
- 1:13:55Speaker 3: and grabbing, grabbing things and just the quick hands. To
- 1:13:57Speaker 3: seven point three assists per game, four point four steals
- 1:14:00Speaker 3: a game. Such a great, great player. They really missed
- 1:14:04Speaker 3: him last year in the state playoffs when he got hurt.
- 1:14:06Speaker 3: They ended up with a third place finish. Now with
- 1:14:08Speaker 3: him healthy, if he can remain healthy, that's what I'm
- 1:14:11Speaker 3: talking about. I mean, elimination. The sky's the limit for them.
- 1:14:13Speaker 3: They're they're loaded. Let's talk about blocks per game. Yeah,
- 1:14:18Speaker 3: back to Caden Veldman two and a half. Now, he
- 1:14:20Speaker 3: was right around two, and you know he's fending off
- 1:14:24Speaker 3: Baine Mitchell from CEO and who had a six block
- 1:14:26Speaker 3: game against Lakewood. Bane Mitchell the you know, the big
- 1:14:30Speaker 3: time volleyball player, so you know, he's he's getting some
- 1:14:33Speaker 3: guys that are coming up there. Brady Ackerman now is
- 1:14:35Speaker 3: starting to block a lot more shots, so he's getting
- 1:14:38Speaker 3: some competition there, but still holding strong. Now Caiden Veldman
- 1:14:41Speaker 3: with two and a half blocks per game.
- 1:14:43Speaker 2: How about well, the guy you just mentioned here, we
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: got field goal percentage.
- 1:14:47Speaker 3: Yeah, and he and he's it's it's tight with him
- 1:14:50Speaker 3: and Veldman in this as well. Brady ackroan seventy point
- 1:14:53Speaker 3: eight percent on the from the field forty six of
- 1:14:56Speaker 3: sixty five. You know, he gets the ball, he could
- 1:15:00Speaker 3: back in and he's got great foot footwork and knows
- 1:15:02Speaker 3: how to use the backboard, and that's basically it. I mean,
- 1:15:04Speaker 3: he's not gonna take any eighteen foot jumpers. He's got
- 1:15:08Speaker 3: pretty good touch from the foul line, so he could
- 1:15:10Speaker 3: he could make them. But he knows what his strengths
- 1:15:13Speaker 3: are and he can get down low and his strength
- 1:15:16Speaker 3: and athleticism that that combo is rarely seen on the
- 1:15:19Speaker 3: basketball court.
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: So that's it's just really tough to stop him once
- 1:15:23Speaker 2: he gets going. We got a new name here in
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: the three point well it's not a new name, but
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: it's a new guy. Leading. It's a three point percentage, Tyler.
- 1:15:32Speaker 3: Yeah, Brent Heppner, how about that? A six foot six
- 1:15:35Speaker 3: kid leading in three point shooting forty two point nine percent.
- 1:15:39Speaker 3: He had a great week shooting. He's now thirty three
- 1:15:41Speaker 3: of seventy seven on the on the year. So yes,
- 1:15:45Speaker 3: he's really good down low. His pump fakes are amazing.
- 1:15:49Speaker 3: He knows how to get guys up in the air
- 1:15:51Speaker 3: and then he'll go up and bank it in. But
- 1:15:54Speaker 3: you leave him open in the corner or a wing spot,
- 1:15:57Speaker 3: and he's just got such a nice fluid shot that
- 1:16:00Speaker 3: it looks like every time he shoots it, it's going
- 1:16:01Speaker 3: in every single time. I mean, you're not going to
- 1:16:04Speaker 3: see big time clangs off the back iron or a
- 1:16:07Speaker 3: air ball or anything like that. He is. It's either
- 1:16:10Speaker 3: perfect or rattles in and out. I mean, he's just
- 1:16:13Speaker 3: got a great, great shot.
- 1:16:14Speaker 2: We got a new leader in the free throw percentage as.
- 1:16:17Speaker 3: Well, that's right, and it was Heppner the last little bit,
- 1:16:21Speaker 3: but it's been retaken now again by Jonah Brolowski, the
- 1:16:24Speaker 3: big man from Ferndale, very similar to Heppner, you know,
- 1:16:28Speaker 3: stands about six ' five close to six six, maybe
- 1:16:32Speaker 3: eighty eight point six percent now on the on the
- 1:16:35Speaker 3: year from the free throw line thirty one of thirty five.
- 1:16:38Speaker 3: He had a perfect week, which elevated him past Heppner.
- 1:16:42Speaker 3: They're battling it right now for the best free throw percentage.
- 1:16:45Speaker 3: So you get a couple of guys that are that
- 1:16:46Speaker 3: tall that can shoot it like that. Pretty scary.
- 1:16:49Speaker 2: That is it for the stat leaders on the boy's side. Again,
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: thank you to Acceleration Driving School in Linden for their
- 1:16:55Speaker 2: continued sponsorship. And guess what that's it for basketball as
- 1:16:58Speaker 2: far as boy and girls go. But we will talk
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: more basketball because there's still quite a bit left here.
- 1:17:04Speaker 2: We've got the players of the week Tyler that is
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: sponsored by Anytime Fitness in Linden, North and Ferndale. Who
- 1:17:12Speaker 2: is the Anytime Fitness Girls Basketball players of the week Tyler.
- 1:17:16Speaker 3: Well, there was a few names here. Jemma James had
- 1:17:18Speaker 3: a great week, Brooklyn Larrabie had an amazing week as well.
- 1:17:22Speaker 3: Uh and they and they won all their games that
- 1:17:25Speaker 3: they played. I thot Kinsley Neil did a great job
- 1:17:28Speaker 3: graced Hoague. But Peyton Mills from Lyndon, you know, she's
- 1:17:33Speaker 3: the best number two option. I think I've ever seen
- 1:17:36Speaker 3: in girls basketball. I mean she is just phenomenal. I
- 1:17:39Speaker 3: mean she's got she's got offers I think from like
- 1:17:43Speaker 3: Boise State and places like that as the number two,
- 1:17:47Speaker 3: very very strong player at about six ' one six
- 1:17:50Speaker 3: ' two maybe and dominates the inside, but as very
- 1:17:53Speaker 3: soft touch shooting, really good shooter. She just had a
- 1:17:57Speaker 3: really strong week where you know, against Burlington, I mean
- 1:18:02Speaker 3: she led in scoring. I think she had you know,
- 1:18:04Speaker 3: nineteen points in that one, fourteen rebounds. Then she had
- 1:18:07Speaker 3: twenty points in that game against the home. She's just
- 1:18:11Speaker 3: so smooth around the basket and the offensive rebounds and
- 1:18:14Speaker 3: putbacks are you know where it's at for her. I mean,
- 1:18:18Speaker 3: she's just so good under there. She could just grab it,
- 1:18:20Speaker 3: put it right back and teams she's just so quick
- 1:18:23Speaker 3: with that and feathery soft off the backboard, where a
- 1:18:27Speaker 3: lot of teams just can't combat that.
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: How about on the boys side, who is the Anytime
- 1:18:31Speaker 2: Fitness Boys Basketball Player of the week.
- 1:18:34Speaker 3: Yeah, it's Gannon Dyksterra. Once again, I don't know how
- 1:18:36Speaker 3: many times he's won, and now maybe three. I was
- 1:18:39Speaker 3: almost gonna go with him and his brother together, but
- 1:18:42Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't you know. I don't want
- 1:18:44Speaker 3: to fiddle with the graphic too much, but having that
- 1:18:47Speaker 3: forty point output, that really just kind of jumped off
- 1:18:51Speaker 3: the board, you know. And it's funny because I don't
- 1:18:53Speaker 3: know if he's like, has this thing with Hepner not.
- 1:18:57Speaker 3: Hepner had thirty nine earlier in the year, so he
- 1:19:00Speaker 3: had a forty point game. Like, are they trying to
- 1:19:02Speaker 3: one up each other? Who knows? I mean, for all
- 1:19:04Speaker 3: I know, maybe maybe they don't even know each other,
- 1:19:06Speaker 3: but you know, you know it is nowadays. Everybody knows
- 1:19:08Speaker 3: each other. Everybody's friends, so they probably do. It's probably
- 1:19:13Speaker 3: a little friendly rivalry. But a forty point game with
- 1:19:16Speaker 3: eight three pointers, I think it was eight to eleven
- 1:19:18Speaker 3: three pointers. And then and against Squalkam, he still had
- 1:19:21Speaker 3: a good game. Didn't score as many points, but did
- 1:19:23Speaker 3: a lot of other things, a lot of assists, rebound, steal,
- 1:19:25Speaker 3: stuff like that. So again and Dykes show the senior
- 1:19:28Speaker 3: from Lenny Christian is your Anytime Fitness Boys Basketball player
- 1:19:31Speaker 3: of the Week?
- 1:19:32Speaker 2: Tyler, you're talking about Peyton Mills. Yes, I see an
- 1:19:36Speaker 2: offer from it looks like you see Santa Barbara, and
- 1:19:40Speaker 2: I see one from Nevada.
- 1:19:43Speaker 3: Oh, Nevada. That's right, that's what it was.
- 1:19:45Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Nevada. That was in September of this year.
- 1:19:49Speaker 3: And then you maybe she had a visit at Boise
- 1:19:51Speaker 3: State maybe something like that, you.
- 1:19:53Speaker 2: See Santa Barbara was Actually it looks like it was
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: like a day later. Actually it's the same day. She
- 1:20:01Speaker 2: posted them the same day, so she probably got offered
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: different days and then just got around to posting it
- 1:20:07Speaker 2: at that time. But yeah, that's pretty impressive. Well that's
- 1:20:11Speaker 2: it for the Players of the Week again, sponsored by
- 1:20:13Speaker 2: any Time Fitness in Linden North and Ferndale. I mean,
- 1:20:16Speaker 2: I feel like I've been saying their name a lot recently, Tyler,
- 1:20:20Speaker 2: because I have Let's talk about some games coming up
- 1:20:24Speaker 2: this week, Tyler. I see, you got a couple of things.
- 1:20:27Speaker 2: If potentially people are listening to this and one of
- 1:20:31Speaker 2: the games has already happened, they're maybe even both. But Monday,
- 1:20:35Speaker 2: Martin Luther King Day, there's a lot of basketball going on, Tyler,
- 1:20:38Speaker 2: and you got two games specifically you're looking at there.
- 1:20:41Speaker 3: Yeah, I really love the matchup in the morning at
- 1:20:43Speaker 3: the Showwhear Center ten thirty in the morning, Kings against Lyndon,
- 1:20:47Speaker 3: I mean Kings. When I saw them at the state
- 1:20:49Speaker 3: tournament last year, they had a girl on their team
- 1:20:51Speaker 3: that I can't remember. She was a freshman or sophomore,
- 1:20:54Speaker 3: but she was really good and she was their best
- 1:20:56Speaker 3: player by far, and she was very young and she
- 1:20:59Speaker 3: was about she was like a six foot guard that
- 1:21:01Speaker 3: you could just do everything. And I was like, this
- 1:21:04Speaker 3: team is going to be really good the next few years.
- 1:21:07Speaker 3: I have no clue what they've done so far this year,
- 1:21:09Speaker 3: but that team that I saw last year in the
- 1:21:12Speaker 3: state tournament going against Lyndon this year, it could be
- 1:21:14Speaker 3: a great game. So I'm excited about that, and I
- 1:21:19Speaker 3: think that could be I mean, I'm not going to
- 1:21:20Speaker 3: go down to that one, but I'm just saying that
- 1:21:22Speaker 3: I think it's going to be a great, great matchup.
- 1:21:24Speaker 3: I usually try to just find, you know, most part
- 1:21:27Speaker 3: walking county matchups, but that one stood out to me.
- 1:21:29Speaker 3: And also I think at night, Ohkarber at Blaine, you
- 1:21:32Speaker 3: might be going, what in the world. I think Blaine
- 1:21:34Speaker 3: has a chance to get a conference win here, which
- 1:21:38Speaker 3: would be just a huge step in the right direction
- 1:21:41Speaker 3: for them. I've seen Okarber a handful of times. I've
- 1:21:43Speaker 3: seen Blaine a handful of times. The one thing I
- 1:21:45Speaker 3: like about Blaine in this matchup is just how hard
- 1:21:49Speaker 3: they work, you know, to get every loose ball and
- 1:21:52Speaker 3: to get positioned down low and stuff like that. And
- 1:21:55Speaker 3: if they can sink some shots, they have a real
- 1:21:57Speaker 3: shot in this one against Oakarber. So I really think
- 1:22:00Speaker 3: this could be a good one. If you're you know,
- 1:22:01Speaker 3: if you're a student at playing go out to this game.
- 1:22:03Speaker 3: Support this team. They work really hard, and uh, this
- 1:22:07Speaker 3: is a really good chance to pick up a win here.
- 1:22:09Speaker 2: You've also got a couple of boys basketball games here Tyler,
- 1:22:11Speaker 2: a big county matchup on Tuesday, and then Lummy Nation.
- 1:22:16Speaker 2: They're kind of punching above their weight class here on
- 1:22:18Speaker 2: Wednesday night.
- 1:22:20Speaker 3: Yeah, Tuesday night. Linden at Meridian. You know this is
- 1:22:24Speaker 3: this is gonna be some some good stuff. I mean,
- 1:22:26Speaker 3: Lynden the heavy favorite here, but you know, playing at
- 1:22:30Speaker 3: at Meridian, you just never know. Linden usually's got a
- 1:22:34Speaker 3: really good size advantage. Meridian's got Talon Jenkins, who at
- 1:22:37Speaker 3: six foot seven can really do some good things. And
- 1:22:40Speaker 3: I you know, and Jager Fife is kind of an
- 1:22:42Speaker 3: X factor. If he gets hot, he could really go
- 1:22:45Speaker 3: off from from downtown and they have James heat All
- 1:22:48Speaker 3: who's six foot six. I mean, they've got some good size.
- 1:22:50Speaker 3: So I think it's gonna be a really good, you
- 1:22:53Speaker 3: know matchup as far as Linden's gonna Lyndon's gonna go
- 1:22:57Speaker 3: back as a team that can match them, match them
- 1:22:59Speaker 3: up in size, and so you just never know.
- 1:23:01Speaker 2: We'll have to see. Uh.
- 1:23:03Speaker 3: And then Wednesday, You're right, Lemination hosting Lakewood. Lakewood is tremendous. Yeah,
- 1:23:09Speaker 3: so this is gonna be this is gonna be tough
- 1:23:12Speaker 3: for them. But you know what I'm just saying it,
- 1:23:16Speaker 3: I would not be surprised if Lemonation won. Just the
- 1:23:18Speaker 3: way they play basketball.
- 1:23:20Speaker 2: Uh.
- 1:23:21Speaker 3: DeAndre James down low has just been every game he
- 1:23:25Speaker 3: just gets better and better. He's got so many moves.
- 1:23:27Speaker 3: He reminds me of like Kevin McHale. Like he used
- 1:23:29Speaker 3: to just get the ball and you could watch a
- 1:23:31Speaker 3: whole game and he would have like, you know, eight
- 1:23:33Speaker 3: or nine buckets from in the paint, and every every
- 1:23:36Speaker 3: bucket had different moves, like different footwork. And that's what
- 1:23:40Speaker 3: DeAndre James does just as sophomore. And he's only about
- 1:23:43Speaker 3: six two, but boy, he plays taller than that. He
- 1:23:45Speaker 3: knows exactly where to go with the ball and how
- 1:23:48Speaker 3: to get a guy off off center and then pump
- 1:23:50Speaker 3: fake and go up. I mean, he's he's really good
- 1:23:53Speaker 3: down down low and and and Lakewood's a shooting team.
- 1:23:56Speaker 3: They get they get streaky, so if they get off,
- 1:23:59Speaker 3: if they're awfu a little bit, let me take it
- 1:24:00Speaker 3: to them. So that one's I'm super excited about that one.
- 1:24:03Speaker 3: I know Lakewood's not a county team, but I you know,
- 1:24:07Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be a great game.
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: Lakewood's one of those teams that they're not a county team,
- 1:24:11Speaker 2: but they play so many times against teams in the
- 1:24:14Speaker 2: county that they almost feel like one, you know what
- 1:24:16Speaker 2: I mean, like totally. You just see Lakewood so much
- 1:24:19Speaker 2: that Yah, it's kind of funny Friday night big girls
- 1:24:22Speaker 2: basketball matchup. And you know, two teams Tyler that are
- 1:24:26Speaker 2: very familiar with each other. They've played, I feel like
- 1:24:29Speaker 2: a lot over the last few years.
- 1:24:31Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean this has been the district championship game,
- 1:24:34Speaker 3: you know, the last few years. This is the last
- 1:24:36Speaker 3: three state titles have been these three teams. Yeah, and
- 1:24:40Speaker 3: two of those state title games were against each other.
- 1:24:44Speaker 3: So this is these girls know each other extremely well.
- 1:24:48Speaker 3: The game is Atlan and Christian. I think the Lynks
- 1:24:49Speaker 3: will be favored in this one. But the X factor
- 1:24:54Speaker 3: there will be Grace d Hoague. You know, at six
- 1:24:56Speaker 3: foot one. If she can control the boards and get
- 1:24:59Speaker 3: some putbacks and hit her foul shots and stuff like that,
- 1:25:01Speaker 3: which she's a really good foul shooter too, right around
- 1:25:03Speaker 3: seventy percent, that could keep Knooksack in the game. Peyton
- 1:25:06Speaker 3: Bartle two as an outside shooter, she can get hot
- 1:25:11Speaker 3: too and hit a lot of three pointers. She's got
- 1:25:14Speaker 3: a really smooth shot. She's a lot like Brent Epner,
- 1:25:16Speaker 3: like you don't see air balls. You see every shot
- 1:25:19Speaker 3: looks like it's going in every single time. And Kate
- 1:25:22Speaker 3: Chintaffer two is a really good defender and she can shoot.
- 1:25:26Speaker 3: She gets a lot of offensive rebounds. Feisty player. And
- 1:25:29Speaker 3: I really hope Shaylee Davis is healthy because she got
- 1:25:32Speaker 3: hurt in that game against Meridian and she played the
- 1:25:36Speaker 3: rest of the way, but then she didn't play in
- 1:25:38Speaker 3: that game against Cascades. So I'm hoping she's okay because
- 1:25:41Speaker 3: they're gonna need her against Lennon Christian with Ella Fritz
- 1:25:44Speaker 3: and Daniel Dykstra and Alison Shoemate and Sarah van Lowe
- 1:25:47Speaker 3: is playing great. Jocelyn Esheys had a career high fourteen points.
- 1:25:50Speaker 3: She's six foot one as well. So the Links are
- 1:25:53Speaker 3: playing great. It's gonna be a really good game, the
- 1:25:55Speaker 3: first of a doubleheader out there at Lennon Christian.
- 1:25:58Speaker 2: Well, Tyler, that's it. We got anything else going on?
- 1:26:02Speaker 3: I think we said it all.
- 1:26:03Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the longest one we've ever done here. Please,
- 1:26:06Speaker 2: as far as I can remember, an hour twenty five
- 1:26:08Speaker 2: is what we're at right now. Our twenty six now, Well.
