• 0:04
  with Tyler and Rylan. It's a matter of pride. Greetings and welcome into
• 0:24
  the Wacome Preps podcast. This is episode one ninety eight, or recap of
• 0:29
  week five. I'm Rylan Spencer. Along with me, I was always Tyler
• 0:32
  Anderson of what'scome preps? Tyler, how are we doing? Doing great?
• 0:39
  It's it's great. It's just uh, you know, I got to have
• 0:43
  a little relaxation, you know today because I didn't have to write as many
• 0:47
  stories and I got to sit back a little bit. You know what I
• 0:50
  did. I sat back and I watched Rudy. What all these NFL games
• 0:55
  on? Do you watched Rudy? Yeah? Felt good. Well, Miss
• 1:00
  Waking Preps had never seen it, so I you know, she's like,
• 1:03
  hey, we have you actually are not busy for a couple hours. I
• 1:07
  said, correct, And she goes, we should have a date night and
• 1:11
  watch a movie. And so so he went over to Bob's Burger and brew
• 1:15
  and I brought some some Burger's home, and well she had a blt and
• 1:21
  then she said I could pick the movie so I was like, you gotta
• 1:23
  watch Rudy. So she said, okay, So yeah it was good.
• 1:29
  So who was the wild Man? Now? Was it? Admitted movie?
• 1:37
  The only reason she watches because she wanted to look at a young Vince Vaughn.
• 1:41
  I had to point it out to her and and uh, She's like,
• 1:44
  holy cow, Like it was pretty cool. It's pretty crazy because like
• 1:49
  he looks exactly like Vince Vaughn, you know what I mean, Like he
• 1:52
  looks like but you just you don't think of him because he's actually serious in
• 1:56
  the role and he's got curly hair too, so it throws you off a
• 2:00
  little bit, like it's kind of longer, and it's you know, it's
• 2:01
  based in the seventies, but he has a seventies look and sign of the
• 2:05
  times man Jon Favreau. And yeah, that's a great movie. It really
• 2:09
  is. But now, Tyler, let's not go too crazy here. Is
• 2:14
  it your favorite football movie? Yeah, that's my favorite one. That is
• 2:17
  your favorite? Is it because you and Rudy were the same height? Actually
• 2:23
  yeah, he's my foot nothing nothing. He might actually have Yeah, he
• 2:28
  might have you by a couple of inches, I think. So, you
• 2:30
  know, here's the here's the crazy deal. My favorite football movie, favorite
• 2:34
  basketball movie, and favorite baseball movie all have the same actor in it.
• 2:39
  Oh, it's got to be the uh the picture from Major League. Yes,
• 2:44
  yeah, Chelsea Ross is his name? Yeah yeah, and yeah yeah
• 2:49
  and then Husiers Yeah yeah, he's like yeah, he's the guy that's like
• 2:53
  trying to run practice or whatever. Dan Divine the head coach, the late
• 2:58
  the head coach, and Rudy senior year. I actually watched Hoosier's the other
• 3:00
  night, Tyler Nice. Yeah I did. I mean, I fell asleep
• 3:04
  watching it. But that's that's when I really want to show her too,
• 3:07
  because she played basketball and junior high. So Hoosiers. I like Hoosiers.
• 3:12
  That's a good one. That it is good. It's one of those movies
• 3:15
  that I think is actually underrated, you know what I mean, because I
• 3:17
  don't think a lot of people, like a lot of the younger people know
• 3:21
  it. Every I think most people know Rudy, you know, like maybe
• 3:24
  they haven't seen it, but they know it, you know, whereas like
• 3:27
  Hoosiers, I don't know, I don't know. But it's not my favorite
• 3:29
  basketball movie. Oh Blue Chips, oh nice, Yeah, I love that
• 3:36
  movie and I don't know. Yeah, I really do, I really do.
• 3:38
  Ye. Anyway, Tyler Worth over three and a half minutes in and
• 3:43
  we have yet to even talk about who gave us the intro, which is
• 3:46
  Colla the fave. So we got to give a thank you to the that
• 3:50
  young man and we'll be talking about the old uh Ferndale Golden Eagles here in
• 3:54
  a little bit. They had themselves quite the word I'm looking for here,
• 4:00
  bounce back. I guess if you will, definitely definitely sure did. Yeah,
• 4:03
  So yeah, we'll talk about that young man he had. He had
• 4:05
  himself a a shiny running back back behind him, a nice you know,
• 4:13
  vehicle behind there to take some carries. But uh yeah, Tyler, before
• 4:16
  we go too far, we also need to give a thank you to Kurt
• 4:18
  Mayberry Farm dot com Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries. Kurt Mayberry Farm is a
• 4:24
  fourth generation, family owned and operated berry farm committed to growing the highest quality
• 4:29
  berries. Strawberries. Yeah, I like them, Tyler. What is your
• 4:32
  favorite strawberry dish? Oh, my goodness, I like that strawberry shortcake.
• 4:41
  Yeah, that's the first thing that popped in my mind. Yeah, blueberry,
• 4:45
  What about that cobbler? Cobbler. Yeah, raspberry, I'm going cheesecake,
• 4:51
  cheesecake. That's here's the thing. You put them all into a pie.
• 4:56
  I'll eat it, but individually, like if if if it's like Ryland,
• 5:00
  we have a lot of extra strawberries, what do you want. I'm
• 5:01
  gonna be like, yeah, you're gonna make me some shortcake. Yeah,
• 5:04
  you know, blueberries. It's like, yeah, I want a cobbler with
• 5:08
  some vanilla bean ice cream, baby, and then raspberries. You know what,
• 5:12
  I want some raspberry cheesecake with a little bit of the mit leaf.
• 5:15
  You know what I mean. It's just a decoration. I'm not gonna eat
• 5:18
  it, but it just looks good. Makes me feel good. It makes
• 5:21
  me feel fancy, you know, coming from the meat stream. Yeah,
• 5:26
  well, you know, Kirkland not really known as fancy down here. You
• 5:31
  know, Tyler, You're in Ferndale right now, which obviously is fancy.
• 5:33
  So that being said, Tyler, we have a new thing going on here.
• 5:40
  Oh wait, you know what, before we get to that, Tyler,
• 5:44
  Kurt Mayberry Farm dot com. They are a sponsor of the show.
• 5:46
  How can people sponsor the show if they want to do it? Well,
• 5:49
  just get ahold of meat through social media, just search for walk and Prep
• 5:54
  So you could do that through Facebook, Instagram or Twitter and just ask how
• 6:00
  to be involved. Someone just asked recently and it was kind of a question
• 6:04
  about looking to sponsor next year in the fall even and they want to start
• 6:11
  fresh with the full season. So I'm kind of putting together a package for
• 6:14
  them right now. So there's but there's all sorts of options. There's graphics,
• 6:19
  there's stories, there's schools if you want to sponsor a certain school,
• 6:24
  there's different sports. Obviously, turning over to winter pretty soon, it's going
• 6:27
  to be a kind of a whole new page. And you know the top
• 6:30
  one hundred countdown coming out. I mean sponsoring the top one hundred countdown if
• 6:34
  you want to get clicks, if you want to get views of your logo,
• 6:36
  of your website or your brand, that's the way to do it right
• 6:41
  there. So there's lots of different things out there coming up, and so
• 6:44
  that that is the best way. Tyler, remind me, do we do
• 6:47
  three graphics a day for the top one hundred. Yes, So that's the
• 6:53
  thing. Uh one, I hope I still have that graphic where I hope
• 6:57
  you have it, but maybe we rework the graphic this year, I don't
• 7:01
  know, but that being said, there's an opportunity to have your logo and
• 7:08
  you know what, maybe somebody only wants a sponsor to the even numbers and
• 7:11
  we can get somebody else a sponsor to the odd numbers, you know what
• 7:14
  I mean. Like, there's all kinds of things that can go on with
• 7:15
  that. Also, Tyler, you mentioned it. Fall sports are coming to
• 7:19
  a close here in the next one month and a half or so, I
• 7:23
  guess maybe two months if if we're talking in state championships, but then basketball
• 7:30
  wrestling. There's all kinds of sports coming up that are going to be indoors.
• 7:33
  And when the winter sports start up, there's opportunities there too. So
• 7:39
  reach out to Tyler and heck, you know what if you want to get
• 7:42
  a jump on things, hey, spring you know baseball, softball. I
• 7:46
  know the softball Tyler you've done, You've told me does very well. Oh
• 7:49
  man, huge numbers for softball. And volleyball is killing it. Yes,
• 7:54

• 8:13
  like flaming torches and stuff. They're gonna come to your house, Tyler.

  They don't know where I live, they don't know where Kirkland is. But
• 8:20

• 9:52
  a place in the county, a place in the city that you can pick
• 9:56
  up your apparel and and uh yeah, it's pretty cool. I haven't gone
• 10:00
  in to see if what the numbers are or anything. This just launched a
• 10:03
  few days ago, so, but I'm going to be going in soon too
• 10:09

• 10:11
  great way to help Walking Preps along. And and they're all going to be
• 10:16

• 10:20
  uh, you know, all sorts of different things. We're gonna try to
• 10:24
  just see what what does well and and go from there. Tyler, I'm
• 10:28
  looking at it right now, all right, I'm looking at the Wakam Preps
• 10:31
  hoodie full chest logo. Yeah. First off, this guy is gorgeous.
• 10:39
  I don't know who he is, but I mean, this is a good
• 10:41
  looking dude right here. I was I think, I think, I think
• 10:43
  Laura, you know, miss Walker Preps. She asked, if the guy
• 10:46
  comes with thirty five bucks, that's pretty good for this guy. Yeah,
• 10:50
  I'm not worried about that. That being said, Tyler, they even have
• 10:56
  fat sizes. I can even fit into some of these things. This is
• 10:58
  unbelievable. I mean, and we've got we've got blue, which looks like
• 11:03
  it's the Walcom Preps blue, and then we've got like a light gray,
• 11:07
  We've got a dark gray, which I kind of I think that really looks
• 11:11
  that logo looks awesome on that and then black for all you people trying to
• 11:13
  hide in the darkness. But yeah, I mean this is this is great.
• 11:18
  And then the hat. I like the hat. Yea, not really
• 11:22
  my cup of tea because it does look like it is a snap back and
• 11:24
  those don't fit my fat head. But uh yeah, I mean that's a
• 11:28
  good looking hat, like I would absolutely wear that. Yeah, I mean,
• 11:31
  this is good stuff here, Tyler. So yeah, I go head
• 11:33

  time I see it. Hopefully it's within the next like you know year,
• 12:11
  and you know I'll pick it up. But that being said, Tyler,
• 12:13
  we've got seven games to go over from this past weekend. You were out
• 12:18
  at Squalicum Burlington Edison on Thursday night. You did a little double dip there
• 12:22
  on Friday with Nooksack Valley Meridian, then you headed over to Beautiful Deming,
• 12:28
  Washington for Mount Baker and Blaine U and then wrapped it up on Saturday with
• 12:33
  Lynnon Christian and Napovine. Coach Wood, who we'll talk to him here in
• 12:35
  a couple of minutes. He was out at Sea Home taking on Linden over
• 12:39
  at Rollie to cosper Field, So we'll we'll talk to coach Wood here in
• 12:43
  a few minutes. But Tyler, let's get started, and we are going
• 12:46
  to start with a Thursday night game over there at Civic Stadium twenty eight thirteen.
• 12:52
  The Storm come away with a win over Burlington Edison. Burlington Edison got
• 12:56
  on the board first, Tyler, and then uh Squalcom gets a couple a
• 13:00
  touchdown runs from Malachi Smith and Marcus Nixon, and then Marcus Nixon gets another
• 13:05
  one in the third fourth quarters kind of evened up seven and eight points.
• 13:09
  Final score twenty eight thirteen. What'd you see there? Uh? Yeah,
• 13:13
  the you know, I think that they played better than the score shows,
• 13:18
  you know, as far as just moving the ball and stuff like that.
• 13:22
  Burlington, you know, they got on the board and and they were missing
• 13:28
  their really good quarterback. And the quarterback they had in there was pretty small.
• 13:31
  I mean he's about five eight hundred and thirty five pounds, but really
• 13:35
  quick and he's definitely a running threat. But there was a there was a
• 13:41
  play in the first quarter where there was a broken coverage and he threw it
• 13:43
  right down the middle of the field and it was wide open. They gained
• 13:48
  seventy yards on the play, but he was ran down from Marcus Nixon who
• 13:52
  tackled him at the one yard Line's one of the best rundowns I've ever seen
• 13:56
  it, you know, it was it was you know, we always have
• 14:00
  seen that DK metcalf rundown on your buddy Buddha Baker there, but and that
• 14:05
  one's known in the NFL, you know world there as one of the great
• 14:09
  rundowns. And the miles per hour running and everything. This kind of reminded
• 14:13
  me of that, But this was not a turnover. This was just a
• 14:15
  straight up play where you know, Marcus Nixon was about twenty yards behind him
• 14:20
  when when he taught the pass and he caught him at the one yard line.
• 14:22
  He was He's got some insane straight speed there. Do you remember,
• 14:26
  Tyler? Do you remember the Ben Watson one? Yes? I was going
• 14:30
  to bring that up, but I didn't think people knew about that one thing.
• 14:33
  Yes, that's the that's the crazy one. Yeah, angle that many
• 14:35
  people know about that one. The angle that he took to get there was
• 14:39
  us insane. I mean, like he was he was way further away than
• 14:45
  DK Metcalf was because he was further across the field and that was against this
• 14:48
  Champ Bailey. Was it Champ Bailey? Yeah? I think it was Champ
• 14:50
  Bailey. I was I know it was the broncos I'm pretty sure it was
• 14:52
  Champ Bailey. Yeah, yeah, just crazy. But anyway, yeah,
• 14:56
  and uh and this so this was it kind of you know, I was
• 15:01
  up in the booth and it looked like I for sure touchdown and then number
• 15:03
  eight just came out of nowhere tackling them. But you know, Brullington scored
• 15:07
  on the next play, and it was kind of like oh and uh,
• 15:11
  but after that it was pretty much all squalachum, you know. It was
• 15:18
  they're so good at and we've talked about this at nauseum where it's it's,
• 15:24
  you know, coach Lucy knows how to put his players in the right position
• 15:26
  to make the best plays possible. And he's got really if you look at
• 15:31
  it, they have like this core four guys, and you know, Marcus
• 15:37
  Nixon, Malachi Smith, DeAndre Dunmore and Joaking Ortiz. They're kind of like
• 15:43
  the core four offensively, and then they can find little things here and there
• 15:48
  with Lockey fog Outo and and and different guys and and you know, every
• 15:54
  once in a while, but they find those four guys are all can do
• 15:56
  some very different things. Waking Ortiz is like a like a he's like a
• 16:03
  I don't know, like a jitterbug. Like he's just he's like a video
• 16:07
  game almost. Marcus Nixon has got that crazy straight ahead speed, Maliki Smith
• 16:11
  has is really good at following his blocks and he just runs tough and always
• 16:18
  falls forward. And DeAndre Dunmore is just a load that's just hard to bring
• 16:22
  down. So it's almost like if you go from one to the other,
• 16:26
  you kind of develop into this other person, like on like a chart or
• 16:30
  something. But those four guys do every single game, they will all get
• 16:34
  touches, and they all see the ball in different ways, and and they're
• 16:38
  all big time contributors on defense as well. Defensively, Chase Nelson is starting
• 16:44
  to turn into one of those really really good edge guys, you know,
• 16:48
  at six five, two twenty pounds, really good size. He had six
• 16:52
  and a half tackles, three sacks, two tackles for loss, just living
• 16:56
  in the backfield, had a monster day. Kolby Lewis had a couple of
• 17:00
  sacks. He's really you know, at six one, two hundred and seventy
• 17:03
  five pounds. I don't know if I've seen a guy that height and weight
• 17:07
  that can has the feet and his quickness like him in a long time and
• 17:11
  has the endurance to play both sides, you know, of the you know,
• 17:15
  play offensive defense constantly throughout the game and rarely take a breather. So
• 17:22
  it's it's really good to see those those kinds of players and and do some
• 17:26
  big things. And Marcus Nixon, like I said, with that rundown tackle,
• 17:30
  He also had a couple of tackles in the backfield. He placed corner,
• 17:33
  so he's coming up and making stops behind the line. He forced to
• 17:37
  fumble, knocked down a couple of passes, so he's doing it on the
• 17:40
  defensive side as well. It was a good It was a good team effort
• 17:41
  and they needed to get that first conference win and uh and hey, first
• 17:47
  time beating an American team too, so we love that. And they go
• 17:49
  about five hundred on the season, us say yeah. And he runs for
• 17:55
  one hundred and two yards on sixteen carries, two rushing touchdowns. Malachi Smith
• 18:00
  also two rushing touchdowns fourteen carries, seventy nine yards. Marcus Nixon had I
• 18:06
  mean, Tyler, it's his best day passing, right, I mean six
• 18:10
  of ten for seventy four yards. I think, if you're coach Lucy,
• 18:12
  you're gonna take six of ten for seventy four from Marcus Nixon every day of
• 18:15
  the week. I mean, yeah, yeah, you're right. And he
• 18:18
  and one of those incompletions was a for sure touchdown that was dropped at the
• 18:22
  goal line that was about twenty five thirty yards in the air. It was
• 18:25
  a perfect pass, so he looked very, very comfortable throwing the ball.
• 18:29
  You're right, Coach Lucy's not gonna, you know, have him throw it
• 18:33
  twenty five thirty times a game. But if they can get that kind of
• 18:36
  efficiency sixty percent passing, he'll take it. Hey, I think most coaches
• 18:40
  in high school would take sixty percent passing absolutely. For Burlington Edison one hundred
• 18:45
  and seventy nine yards of offense, Squalicum two hundred and eighty, So they
• 18:49
  get him by one hundred and one yards. I mean, that's a that's
• 18:52
  a good slow it down, grind it out. Forty one carries for two
• 18:57
  hundred and sixty yards on the night for Squalicum. That's gorgeous. I mean
• 19:03
  that Tyler, that is beauty. I mean, and I'll tell you this
• 19:06
  too. They started this, they started doing this last week, but I
• 19:08
  really just noticed it this week. This is the first time I've seen a
• 19:12
  Squalicum team, well, a Nick Lucy's Qualicum team with a true tight end
• 19:17
  and an h back. You know, usually they have three wide well usually
• 19:22
  have one white on each side, a guy coming in motion, and they
• 19:25
  have an h back and a tailback. Yeah, and they and they run
• 19:29
  with Locke Fagato as a true tight end and Chase Nelson as an h back
• 19:33
  and they're just you know, and so that little extra guy up there blocking
• 19:41
  is huge because they don't have a really big offensive line. And Lockey's about
• 19:45
  six four two fifteen, just a sophomore, really really athletic kids, So
• 19:49
  it's just that extra alignment. But he's got great hands and he's going to
• 19:53
  turn into a really special player down the road. Again. Squalcum defeats Burlington
• 19:59
  Edis twenty eight to thirteen on Thursday night at Civic Stadium out there at Meridian.
• 20:03
  Tyler, this is a game that you were at for Uh, what'd
• 20:07
  you tell me? The first period and a little bit into the second.
• 20:11
  Yeah. Yeah, it was probably about eight minutes to go until halftime when
• 20:15
  I took off, and it was it was settled pretty early. Yeah,
• 20:19
  Tyler, I don't know why you're yawning. It's only ten fifty pm on
• 20:22
  a Saturday or on a Sunday night here, but yeah, Nooksack Valley sixty
• 20:27
  five to fourteen over Meridian. You know, Tyler, they they kind of
• 20:33
  they played angry last week and it looks like the they continue to play angry.
• 20:37
  Five hundred and thirty three total yards of offense for Nooksack Valley and Meridian
• 20:42
  just one fifty. So not only what did you see in person, but
• 20:48
  when you got the film, what did you see there? Yeah, in
• 20:51
  person, you know, a size difference. And Nooksack Valleys started the game
• 21:00
  running the ball. I think they ran the ball for the first ten or
• 21:02
  twelve plays, just just kind of showing dominance up front. Colton Lentz looked
• 21:07
  great. It didn't. It didn't show any signs of a nagging injury that
• 21:14
  I'd been talking about. He you know, carried the ball. Boom boom,
• 21:18
  boom boom boom, score touchdown. Now I'm a Radian. They countered
• 21:21
  back with a with a great play and there was a little bit of a
• 21:25
  broken coverage over the middle and Jager five found landed downy streaking down the scene,
• 21:30
  got a for fifty three our touchdown, perfect, perfect pass, and
• 21:33
  it was it was seven seven early, and I thought, Okay, so
• 21:36
  we're gonna We're gonna have a game. But I was mistaken. It was
• 21:41
  the Colton Lnch Show. Right after that again, boom boom boom, touchdown.
• 21:45
  And when they got the ball the next time, you know, they
• 21:48
  kind of go you know, they tried to. Really they got to give
• 21:52
  Colton the break every once in a while. Scotler Wittern is the best backup
• 21:56
  running back in Walking County. Uh and uh, you know, it reminds
• 22:00
  me of like Campbell multi last year, Like this is a guy that could
• 22:03
  start for a lot of teams, but doesn't start for Lyndon and then the
• 22:07
  Skyler Wittern's the exact same way. Uh. You know, he ran for
• 22:11
  I don't know, almost one hundred and sixty yard one sixty five last week,
• 22:15
  I think on four carries and he comes out his first carry of the
• 22:18
  game. It was just this dynamic uh you know, bowl over a guy,
• 22:22
  spin past another guy, and then sprint past everybody else. So he
• 22:26
  showed the power of the agility and the speed all in one play. His
• 22:30
  first carry of the game goes sixty eight yards for a touchdown. It was
• 22:33
  just kind of like, man, the embarrassment of riches of these guys is
• 22:37
  there's just so much talent on the field and then they decided to go for
• 22:44
  just have a drive where they would go, you know, seven offensive lineman
• 22:48
  plus drawn Stremler at fullback and just see how that goes, and let's just
• 22:52
  pound out a drive and just you know, go down the field a little
• 22:55
  boom boom, boom boom, touchdown. I mean it was it was.
• 23:00
  Sack did a lot of different things and everything worked. They really shut down
• 23:04
  the Meridian running game. Uh, and the Trojans were trying to get Josh
• 23:08
  and Elmer involved, and they knew running the ball wasn't gonna happen, so
• 23:11
  they started throwing it to him on the outside. Uh. Josh and Elmer
• 23:15
  a really good receiver. But you know, they had that covered pretty well.
• 23:19
  They had to go to some different guys. Uh. Nooksack through a
• 23:22
  little bit, you know, Joey Brown seven of eight passing. I mean
• 23:26
  it was so efficient all the way down, up and down. I mean
• 23:33
  it was it was domination. You know. The pass rush for Nooksak was
• 23:38
  fantastic. Brady Ackerman, Dalton Hikey each had a couple of sacks. Hikey
• 23:41
  had one in the end zone for safety. And it was great to see
• 23:47
  Cameron O'Brien break off a touchdown run at young Man works really hard, uh,
• 23:52
  you know, on the scout team and and doing different things. He's
• 23:55
  a he's a junior and and uh, it's just a really likable kid and
• 24:02
  comes from a great family. Those O'Briens had poured out a lot of great
• 24:04
  players. And yeah, but then Meridians scored late too. And I don't
• 24:11
  know if you remember, but during the Meridian preview early on in the season,
• 24:15
  we were just talking about, like the actual season. I talked about
• 24:18
  that freshman kid that was about one hundred and fifteen pounds that is just faster
• 24:22
  than Grease Lightning and a really good, you know, junior high player,
• 24:27
  and he had like three pick sixes in one game or something like that,
• 24:30
  and we were talking about him and how coach James was like, I just
• 24:33
  wish he was bigger because he could play. He has the ability to play,
• 24:36
  he's just so small. Well, he got out there in the last
• 24:38
  drive and cut three passes for forty or yeah, three passes for forty yards
• 24:44
  and the last one being a touchdown catch from Jager five. So he showed
• 24:48
  some stuff that what he can do. So that was kind of cool to
• 24:51
  see a couple of guys late scoring their first first he touchdowns. But it
• 24:53
  was it was all Nuksack Valley and first conference win, and they definitely want
• 25:00
  to show that that King's game was a fluke. Yeah, they definitely showed
• 25:06
  that Colton Lentz fifteen carries hundred and sixty three yards and I see one,
• 25:11
  two, three, four touchdowns runs of twelve forty four, one and two.
• 25:18
  So he got tired late and just decided to go in from only a
• 25:22
  couple of yards out. Yeah, and you mentioned Skyler Winter and six carries
• 25:26
  one hundred and eight yards. I mean, granted sixty eight of them were
• 25:30
  on one run, but I mean that is it's funny Tyler. As you
• 25:33
  started talking about him, the first thing that went through my head is it's
• 25:37
  like Linden from last year, you know, and then boom you bring it
• 25:41
  up and it's it's exactly what it is. I mean, Skyler Wintern could
• 25:45
  start for a lot of teams in the state, you know what I mean,
• 25:47
  he really could. And so to see what he is doing in a
• 25:51
  quote unquote backup role, I mean, and you don't want to say,
• 25:56
  you know, sometimes he's like, oh, one A, one B.
• 25:59
  No, it's not really one A and one B because Cole Lenz is the
• 26:02
  is the man Skyler winner and ain't two dang bat himself. It is a
• 26:07
  heck of a one two combo they have there. I mean, you just
• 26:11
  don't see it very often in high school football where the second guy comes in
• 26:15
  and I don't want to say he's as good as the first guy, but
• 26:18
  he can make everything happen just as well, you know what I mean.
• 26:22
  It's just coming into the game. He was third in Walcome County and rushing
• 26:26
  that's just third in the county. Yeah, it's crazy. I mean it
• 26:30
  really is. It's it's wild what they're doing over there. And by the
• 26:33
  way, O'Brien, you really don't see it spelled with the y. That's
• 26:37
  true. That's pretty cool. I like that, you know me. I'm
• 26:41
  I'm all about names being different. I mean, you're a guy named Ryland.
• 26:45
  I mean, not a very common name, but usually there's no D
• 26:49
  on the end of it. I mean, I'm just unique. But that
• 26:55
  being said, Tyler, Yeah, just a huge night, not only from
• 26:59
  the offense but the d defense as well. I mean, Meridian twenty carries
• 27:03
  negative twelve total yards rushing. I mean, you know, I'm sure some
• 27:07
  of those came on sacks, I would assume, but yeah, I mean
• 27:10
  just a really, really nice Nooksack. I mean, yeah, you get
• 27:18
  a feeling that they might want to go back and play Kings again, you
• 27:21
  know what I mean. Like I feel like they want to do over,
• 27:26
  you know what I mean. And so to see what they're doing right now
• 27:29
  is truly incredible. And I believe Elsie this week right, Yeah, that's
• 27:33
  going to be fantastic. Yeah, that should be a heck of a football
• 27:36
  game again. Nooksack Valley sixty five fourteen over Meridian on Friday night. Tyler,
• 27:42
  you left there, You got in your you got in your shoe of
• 27:47
  a car that you have, and you went boom straight east. What's the
• 27:51
  road do we know? Do you? Is it? What did you get
• 27:53
  on there? Yeah? I went. I got on the guy Meridian to
• 27:57
  East Smith Road to Mount Baker. Hat there it is. Tyler gets out
• 28:03
  there to Demming and sees a player from Blaine named Deming, probably scoring relatively
• 28:08
  soon after you got there. Tyler. Yeah, I mean, it's it's
• 28:15
  interesting when you look at the numbers here for this game, Tyler, Mount
• 28:17
  Baker wins forty six to seventeen. But when you look at the numbers,
• 28:22
  it's fairly even as far as offensive numbers go. So that makes me think,
• 28:26
  you know, maybe where there some short scoring drives from Mount Baker or
• 28:30
  I mean, how do you end up with three hundred and sixty yards for
• 28:33
  Blaine and three fifty two for Baker and how the score will be thirty points
• 28:37
  apart? Yeah, there were some some short drives, especially at the end
• 28:41
  there. But there was also the opening of the game, which was a
• 28:42
  ninety five yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Obviously that doesn't get put into
• 28:47
  the box score for total offensive yards and and and which is pretty cool.
• 28:52
  And I'm doing the research. I don't know this yet, but that was
• 28:57
  Brady Brulin's third kickoff returned for a touchdown in his career. Wow. And
• 29:02
  I don't have a Baker player with more than two other than Brady Brulin.
• 29:07
  Scott McKeever did it twice. Jake Adkinson did it twice. There's been a
• 29:12
  you know, a few guys that have done it twice. There was a
• 29:15
  guy back in the seventies. But I and it's kick returns as one of
• 29:19
  those things where you know it could have happened in the fifties where a guy
• 29:23
  did it three times. You just don't know. It's it's you know,
• 29:26
  it's just one of those things. So I don't want to say he's the
• 29:29
  only player in school history to have three kickoff returns for a touchdown in his
• 29:33
  career, but but in modern history in the last fifty years, he is.
• 29:37
  And and what's funny is that he had one last week against Kings and
• 29:42
  he had one again here, but he also had one last year against Blaine,
• 29:45
  so so he's got two against Blaine. And that was a great way
• 29:48
  to start off the game. And it's funny because if you look at the
• 29:52
  scoring was well, it's kind of Mount Baker heavy in the beginning, then
• 29:56
  Blaine in the middle, and then Mount Baker finished it. There was and
• 30:00
  a lot of back and forth in this one. And when I got there,
• 30:03
  it was twenty to ten at halftime, so I thought, okay,
• 30:06
  we got a little game. And Blaine came out and scored to start the
• 30:08
  third quarter, so you had a twenty to seventeen game, and I thought,
• 30:12
  okay, I'm glad I went to this one second. But then it
• 30:17
  was all Baker after that. There was a you know, they capitalized on
• 30:18
  a few Blade mistakes. They gave him a short field. There was a
• 30:22
  mishandled punt that gave them the ball at like, you know, around the
• 30:26
  ten yard line going in. So that was that was a you know,
• 30:32
  that's pretty you know, easy field position there. Obviously there was a kickoff
• 30:37
  that was recovered inside the five going in late. So those kinds of little
• 30:42
  mistakes like that is what Blade's gonna have to uh, you know fix.
• 30:48
  But you go into that game already without your best player. You know,
• 30:52
  Riley id was on the sideline. I talked to him a little bit.
• 30:56
  You know, he's he's got the knee injury and that's it. That's that's
• 30:59
  a huge blow, not just on offense but on defense as well. But
• 31:03
  I thought Mason Ochry came in and played really well in his spot at safety.
• 31:07
  He actually led Blaine in tackles in place of Riley i'de. So he
• 31:12
  had nine tackles on the game and forced to fumble. So that was,
• 31:15
  you know, he did his job as a senior that came out and has
• 31:21
  played really well, really good baseball player, a leadoff hitter, third baseman
• 31:23
  kind of guy. But you know, and it was kind of the main
• 31:27
  guys for playing as far as you know, z Zu on defense, had
• 31:33
  a couple of tackles for loss. Victor Gervil again was good, Jesse Demming
• 31:37
  and pass coverage was good. So they had those those kind of main guys.
• 31:41
  But Baker, they got the run game going really well. This was
• 31:45
  their best rushing game, I would say, which was which is kind of
• 31:48
  what they need to have happened. They have a couple of guys with over
• 31:51
  one hundred yards rushing, which was great to see. And you know,
• 31:55
  they Toga didn't have to throw as much and that's and it was it looked
• 31:59
  more like a Mount Baker game. And then the defense, it's this it's
• 32:02
  kind of that same cast of characters. You know, you have those two
• 32:05
  senior defensive ends that are causing so much havoc. They combined for eight and
• 32:09
  a half stops behind the line of scrimmage Between those two senior defensive ends,
• 32:15
  we're talking sacks and defend tackles, velocies combined. But that's you know,
• 32:22
  that's that's huge. And then Dylan Moo in the middle doing a lot of
• 32:24
  damage. So and they have a season of secondary Lannon Hanstead had three passes
• 32:30
  broken up. Uh. It was a really it was. It was their
• 32:34
  most complete game of the season, I would say for Mount Baker and and
• 32:38
  it happened at the right time on the conference opener, And Blaine is,
• 32:42
  you know, I think that they're they're they're taking a step up, but
• 32:46
  it's start to take a step up from last year when you're in this conference.
• 32:51
  It's just it's just so loaded and they're just gonna have to keep playing
• 32:55
  and keep experiencing these things to get better. Uh yeah, And I mean,
• 33:00
  I think you're one hundred percent right. This is you know, they're
• 33:04
  going to take some lumps, but I also think that they are. I
• 33:07
  think they're going in the right direction. I mean, if that makes sense.
• 33:12
  But yeah, let's see here, Dylan Moa seventeen carries, one hundred
• 33:15
  and one hundred and fifty three yards and four touchdowns, and then Brady Brulin
• 33:22
  sixteen carries for one hundred and fourteen yards, and he also had himself a
• 33:28
  couple of touchdowns there, Tyler, he had well, he had three total
• 33:30
  two on the ground, and then as you mentioned earlier, ninety five yard
• 33:35
  kickoff return, so he would have been let's see, he would have been
• 33:37
  over two hundred total yards then, I mean as well, So yeah,
• 33:42
  I had all that together and over two hundred all purpose yards. Yeah,
• 33:45
  that is a that is a big, big time day for him. Uh
• 33:50
  yeah again Mount Baker forty six to seventeen over Blaine. Uh. Tyler.
• 33:54
  We head back to Civic Stadium where we were a little bit earlier in the
• 33:58
  shelf talking about the Thursday and night game, and we got ourselves Bellingham forty
• 34:02
  to eight over La Connor. This is a game that was put away fairly
• 34:08
  early. But Tyler, I know I drafted a guy in the fantasy and
• 34:15
  I see his name all over this box score and it gets me really excited
• 34:19
  for a couple of reasons. One makes me feel good about the fantasy.
• 34:22
  Two. Uh, there's some numbers here that look like they could be some
• 34:30
  some record breaking stuff. Huh yeah, definitely. You know, they put
• 34:34
  up huge numbers last week, and there was some records that were tied last
• 34:38
  week, you know, touchdown passes in the game, receptions in the game,
• 34:44
  stuff like that. And because of that, I put out this thing
• 34:49
  that showed all the records and stuff in the county and school records and everything,
• 34:52
  and you know, maybe some Bellingham players looked at and said, oh
• 34:55
  okay, Okay, I see what you got there. That's that's all I
• 34:59
  need to do. Okay. And in the first half they did. They
• 35:02
  did all their stuff. You know, it was the backups in the second
• 35:05
  half. So they did all their damage in the first half, and it
• 35:07
  was all Bellingham. There was a few different records geam broken Josh Toole,
• 35:13
  who you're mentioning four touchdown receptions that is that's a Bellingham high school record.
• 35:21
  Four receiving touchdowns in one game. How about Josh Leonard going fourteen of fifteen
• 35:27
  passing. That's the best completion percentage in a game in Bellingham history. So
• 35:31
  lots of really good things to like here. It was pure dominance right off
• 35:36
  the bat. And the cool thing about this last Friday night, this was
• 35:40
  one of my just feel good nights ever for high school football because I went
• 35:47
  to two different games. We're just talking to Friday night. There was only
• 35:51
  five games on Friday Night. I went to two of them. I got
• 35:53
  to witness two of them. I had, uh, you know, Coachwood
• 35:59
  and my interim both at the same game out at Lynden, so they're giving
• 36:02
  me updates. And then there was two games on the radio and it was
• 36:07
  the other two the belling him, the Connor and the Ferned Hill Marysville pil
• 36:10
  check. So it's just like all this information I'm getting at the same time.
• 36:15
  It was so it was it was actually a blast to drive from one
• 36:17
  game to the other where I could flip back on the radio stations and you
• 36:22
  know, and I'm texting coach Kamink, who's doing color now. I'm texting
• 36:27
  him a score that I just left. He's mentioning my name on the air,
• 36:30
  saying, hey, are Buddy Tyler Anderson from Walco Preps. It just
• 36:32
  left this and he's gonna go here now, and it just it just it
• 36:36
  just felt really good to be able to help and and and hear all this
• 36:38
  stuff. But it was cool that they had belling him on the radio,
• 36:42
  so I got to listen to some of that as well. And and it
• 36:45
  was just pure dominance right off the bat. And they didn't abandon the running
• 36:49
  game. I know that they loved to throw the ball, but they were
• 36:51
  they were they wanted to get holding Bates involved. He only had a couple
• 36:54
  carries last week. He looked great running the ball as well. The defense
• 36:59
  was fantastic. Lakhanor scored very very late in the game. And then when
• 37:04
  I watched the film, one thing that really stood out was that Lakhanor only
• 37:07
  had like five or six guys on the sideline while they were playing. So
• 37:10
  you always hate to see that when a team has less than twenty two guys,
• 37:14
  because you know, practice has got to be rough. You know,
• 37:17
  it's hard to practice eleven on eleven. And if you don't have twenty two
• 37:20
  guys, you gotta get coaches out there involved, and you get the cross
• 37:22
  country team running around you say, hey, can you run a few routes
• 37:25
  for me please? You know, it's it's tricky and and and and there's
• 37:30
  been walking kind of teams that have been there in the past. You know,
• 37:32
  I remember Blaying in the early two thousands had you know, fifteen or
• 37:36
  sixteen guys and they had freshmen playing varsity and it's rough. You just have
• 37:39
  to get past that moment. And Lekanor will get past that. They used
• 37:43
  to be very very good, you know, about eight or nine years ago.
• 37:45
  They were a good team. And they were and what's that they were
• 37:50
  in the semis Yeah, I mean yeah exactly. So at Bellingham, you
• 37:53
  know, is is there are on a roll right now, and and it's
• 38:00
  they are. They're looking really good. And I would imagine they're going to
• 38:05
  rejoin the Northwest Conference. I don't know when that decision has to be made
• 38:08
  or if it has to be another two year thing or what. But you
• 38:14
  know, they've got some weapons and they know how to use them. And
• 38:16
  I know it's a lot of seniors right now with Josh Leonard and Josh toll
• 38:21
  and holding Bates and why step and these guys are all seniors. But you
• 38:24
  got guys coming back. You got weapons coming back too, so with Tyler
• 38:28
  Frost and gave Van Hofwag and stuff like that. Owen, by the way,
• 38:31
  Owen Hanstead, are you kidding me? He did it again. That's
• 38:36
  five interceptions in five games. Get out of here. He did it again.
• 38:39
  The Ballhawk, Bayhawk did it again. Just a sophomore. I love
• 38:44
  watching this kid play. You know. Last year as a freshman he had
• 38:47
  a pick six in Week one. It was his only interception of the year.
• 38:51
  This year, he's really he's really honing in on interesting. I mean,
• 38:54
  some people just have that knack, you know, It's just some guys
• 38:59
  are just so good at it. He is, he is he's really doing
• 39:02
  it, and uh, that's pretty impressive. Five and five games. It
• 39:07
  causes me to start doing some more research. I don't know if that's happened
• 39:10
  in walking Kunty history. Five games in a row with an interception, very
• 39:15
  very impressive. I got a hard time thinking anybody's ever done that. I
• 39:19
  mean, that is wild. Wow. Bellingham three hundred and sixty six yards
• 39:25
  of offense, La Connor one fifty one. You mentioned Holden Baits seven carries,
• 39:30
  eighty one yards and he did have a thirty three yard touchdown run in
• 39:35
  the what would that be the second quarter? Yeah, Josh Leundard fourteen of
• 39:39
  fifteen for two hundred and forty yards and four touchdowns five one, two,
• 39:46
  three, four. He had four, he had four to judge twenty.
• 39:52
  I didn't even I didn't see the one that was right underneath there, uh,
• 39:54
  five of them. So yeah, I mean, just a huge night.
• 39:58
  Second week in a row, five touched passes, which ties a school
• 40:00
  record. All right, time to look that one up. How many guys
• 40:04
  have thrown five back to back weeks, Tyler, Oh man, I'm sure
• 40:07
  that's happened a time or two, but not very many. That's pretty tough.
• 40:10
  To do. I mean, throwing five in a game is tough to
• 40:13
  do in general. Doing it back to back weeks is ridiculous. But yeah,
• 40:16
  I mean, just another all around game from Bellingham. I mean,
• 40:22
  I guess I say all around. But all they had to do this time
• 40:23
  was actually play the first half, you know. But the good good win
• 40:28
  for Bellingham. Yeah, I mean they've they've got some they've got some things
• 40:32
  rolling over there right now. That's good to see Ferndale League play here against
• 40:37
  Marysville Pilchuck and the Golden Eagles come away with a forty seven to twenty eight
• 40:43
  win out there at Ferndale High School on Friday night. Tyler, this is
• 40:46
  a game. I mean, when you look at it, Ferndale fourteen twelve,
• 40:51
  fourteen seven. They're scoring in all four quarters. I mean, there's
• 40:53
  not much more that you can ask for as a coach than to score in
• 40:58
  every quarter, let alone scoring Will did this in the first three quarters every
• 41:01
  single time. But yeah, talent bunk guard. I see his name on
• 41:05
  the statuet, Tyler, So it's good to see him back. What did
• 41:07
  you see their on film? It looks like Connor Walker had himself quite that
• 41:09
  they Yeah, you know, they had you know, Phoenix Spink Bonner was
• 41:15
  one yard away rushing to have for Ferndale having three hundred yard rushers, which
• 41:20
  sounds like crazy, like that has never happened, but that used to happen
• 41:22
  quite a bit in Ferndale's history. They used to, you know, get
• 41:24
  those three guys going a lot, and they found some they found some great
• 41:30
  stuff with Ferndale. They broke out this this new play that it's hard to
• 41:35
  even explain, where it's like a it's like a fake here, a fake
• 41:38
  there. And then they and then they pitch it to Connor Walker coming the
• 41:42
  other way, and it's just you get everybody going one way and you and
• 41:45
  they only ran it a couple of times, but they were both for big,
• 41:47
  big plays. And you get a guy with that kind of speed around
• 41:52
  the corner like that, and boy, it really broke things open. You
• 41:55
  know, early on it was very even Stephen. It was you score,
• 41:59
  we score, you score, we score, and it just kind of kept
• 42:00
  going back and forth, and and at halftime, you know, twenty six
• 42:07
  to twenty one, Ferndale's got the lead. It's very much and with Mary'sville
• 42:12
  getting the ball to start the third quarter, so you know it's just it's
• 42:16
  just back and forth, back and forth. Well, when the Tomahawks started
• 42:20
  the second half, I think it was like the second play from scrimmage,
• 42:23
  Aidan O'Toole for Ferndale, his big six five outside linebacker, he intercepted a
• 42:30
  pass in the in the flat. Huge play, well not really in the
• 42:34
  flat, but you know he's kind of playing that that zone there, and
• 42:38
  and that was a big turning point because as soon as that happened, Ferndale
• 42:44
  was able to score. You know, they rattled off three scores in a
• 42:46
  row, two of them pretty quickly, and that kind of seemed to break
• 42:52
  that not the not monotony, but break that chain of back and forth.
• 42:58
  That interception was huge because it really changed that momentum and uh and momentum could
• 43:02
  be so huge in high school football, and especially when it happens right in
• 43:07
  the beginning of the second half, and you know, you come out of
• 43:08
  halftime and you could be deflated or you could really go crazy. And that
• 43:13
  really changed everything for Neil. You know, they put up a lot of
• 43:15
  yards, they put up over five hundred yards of offense, and it was
• 43:19
  a lot of it was on these big plays that we're just working. You
• 43:22
  know, Bishop Bootsey had a huge day. He only threw the ball six
• 43:25
  times, but he completed four of him for one hundred and forty three yards
• 43:29
  and and uh, he was finding some things down downfield. I think his
• 43:31
  improvement just as a pure passer from last year's huge. You know, he's
• 43:37
  he's such a leader and and you know, the offensive line did did great.
• 43:42
  I mean, Camden Raymond is just a beast. He has excelled so
• 43:45
  well. It changed going from guard to offensive tackle, and he's a great
• 43:50
  athlete. And you get him and Kellen the Fave and Wyatt Straight and these
• 43:52
  guys, these big guys moving and and you know, we talked about,
• 43:57
  you know, in the past, about how they had to re play so
• 44:00
  many pieces of their of their offensive line. Well, you know, they
• 44:02
  have some plug and play guys that are that are performing like all league type
• 44:07
  players. And it's been really really great to see it. Like it's awesome
• 44:10
  to see talent bung guard back and healthy. It was if he had one
• 44:15
  of those games where and I'm watching the game and I'm tabulating the stats and
• 44:17
  I'm not like totaling it as I'm going I'm just kind of putting in these
• 44:22
  numbers on an Excel sheet. And then I look at the totals after the
• 44:23
  game, and it didn't seem like he had a big night because he didn't
• 44:29
  have any of those big, huge runs that Phoenix had and Connor had.
• 44:34
  He he just kind of kept, you know, getting little chunks here and
• 44:37
  there and maybe have a twelve yard or here or there. And then I
• 44:40
  when I tolded it up and I saw an hundred and forty nine yards on
• 44:44
  the ground, I just shook my head and said, that's a classic talent
• 44:46
  bung guard game where it doesn't you don't, it doesn't seem like it.
• 44:51
  But he carries the ball so many times, and he gets positive yards so
• 44:53
  many times, and he has that forward lean and he's always good for at
• 44:57
  least five and and it just it just totals up and and uh, you
• 45:01
  know the defense played great too. Connor walker Man on defense, Uh,
• 45:06
  he's just different. He's just different out there. Bishop Boots he broke up
• 45:09
  another couple of passes he forced to fumble late in the game. I thought
• 45:13
  he played great at corner eight and O'Toole with that interception. Camden Raymond had
• 45:16
  a ton of tackles, uh, you know, being constantly double teamed at
• 45:21
  defensive tackle. It was a It was a really good overall game. I
• 45:23
  guess, an undefeated Tomahawk team that you know, I thought was gonna be
• 45:29
  you know. I mean I even said it in the in the predictions,
• 45:30
  I had mary's Ville Pilchick winning this game. But I'm so glad that Ferndelle
• 45:35
  came out on top. Yeah, Ferndelle Tyler. I mean when you when
• 45:39
  you look at the sheet, it's kind of funny. It's bun Guard,
• 45:42
  it's Walker, it's fink Bonner. It's fink Bonner. It's bun Guard,
• 45:45
  it's Walker, it's fink Bonner. I mean, it's the three guys that
• 45:47
  are just absolutely doing damage right there in the backfield. You mentioned fink Bonner
• 45:53
  coming up one yard short of one hundred nine carries ninety nine yards, averaging
• 45:59
  eleven yards a carry. It's a good math on my part, not real
• 46:02
  hard mouth, but it's good math. Twenty three carries one hundred and forty
• 46:07
  nine yards. For telling, bun Guard Connor Walker Levin carries one hundred and
• 46:10
  five yards. I mean, this is the type of night that you want
• 46:16
  if you're Ferndale. I mean, those are the three guys. Those are
• 46:20
  your three horses, and those are the three guys that are really gonna go
• 46:22
  nuts. And then when you look at Bishop Bootsey, I mean guy four
• 46:29
  for six for one hundred and forty three yards. Yeah, have yourself a
• 46:32
  game. Huh yeah, I mean, my goodness, what a night.
• 46:36
  And then you look at the receiving side, Connor Walker three catches for one
• 46:39
  hundred and three I mean, Tyler, this is kind of a nutty,
• 46:45
  just all around offensive performance from the Golden Eagles. It's exactly what they needed
• 46:50
  to get back on track this season. I mean, you know, when
• 46:53
  you take one on the chin, you're always looking to see how do they
• 46:58
  how do we respond the next week? You know, And they came out
• 47:01
  and they absolutely took it to a Maryville Pilchuck team that I think came in
• 47:07
  with a lot of confidence, you know, and and at halftime they probably
• 47:09
  had confidence because you said it, Hey, we get the ball to start
• 47:13
  the second half, let's go down, let's do our thing wrong. Forty
• 47:17
  seven twenty eight Ferndale with the win. I mean, that's that's what the
• 47:22
  Golden Eagles needed. That's what you need to write that ship. I bet
• 47:25
  it's one of those things. Probably had a good week of practice, go
• 47:30
  in, dominate, do your thing, and you know what's gonna happen.
• 47:32
  That's gonna lead to another great week of practice this week and things are just
• 47:37
  going to roll from there. That's what I think. I don't know about
• 47:39
  you, Tyler, but overall Ferndale five hundred and twenty seven total yards of
• 47:45
  offense, three hundred and forty eight from Maryville Pilchuck, which I mean that
• 47:50
  seems like a lot, but you know, at the end of the day,
• 47:52
  twenty eight points. If you can give up twenty eight and get wins,
• 47:57
  then your offense is doing good things. I think Ferndale take that every
• 48:00
  day of the week. Tyler. Now, let's wrap up Friday night by
• 48:04
  heading to coaches corner with coach Jeff Wood. Coach, how we doing doing
• 48:08
  great? Rayland? You were out there at a Rollie the Coster field out
• 48:12
  there, Lynden. Beautiful Linden, Washington forty four, twenty four Linden defeats
• 48:17
  Sea Home. Looks like it was a real close game early on and then
• 48:22
  maybe a little bit of a momentum shift here in the second is Lindon scores
• 48:24
  four consecutive times, starting with a safety. Coach, I guess first off,
• 48:30
  what happened on the safety, But was that kind of a momentum change
• 48:32
  in the game. It was big, big momentum change in terms of uh,
• 48:39
  you know, getting getting Linden going. It was a really close first
• 48:44
  quarter. Sea Home took the first drive down and scored on a Nolan right
• 48:51
  keeper. Lyndon answered with a with a long drive and it took him took
• 48:58
  him four downs, fourth and one from the from the one fourth and goal
• 49:02
  and Hepner got the push and got it in and then See Home gets a
• 49:07
  field goal, and so they're up ten seven and they get a get a
• 49:12
  stop about midfield, their defense comes up big and Lynden punts it Maliki Canon
• 49:22
  down to the one yard line. So that was really, in my mind
• 49:27
  the kind of the play of the game that and then See Home and taking
• 49:30
  that safety on the next play from scrimmage and that kind of spurred the Lions
• 49:37
  to to kind of their offense just had a had a really good second quarter.
• 49:43
  They're opening up with some drives on the ground and in the air.
• 49:47
  Yeah, it starts with a safety by Linden, or excuse me, I
• 49:52
  guess by Sea Home, but it was Lynden getting the two points. Then
• 49:55
  Max Austin gets a four yard touchdown run Danny Buller is a thirty three yard
• 50:00
  pass from Brandt Hepner. And then, uh, you know what, Tyler,
• 50:05
  I deleted a name here. All I have is sixty nine yard pass
• 50:08
  from Hepner Cooper Cooper Moore. Hey, I like it. That's what happens
• 50:15
  when I rearranged things. I gotta stop doing that. Cooper Moore sixty nine
• 50:19
  yard touchdown pass from Brant Hepner. I guess I should type that in there
• 50:21
  too, so I don't screw it up later. And then yeah, Andre
• 50:24
  Watson gets on the board with a twelve yard touchdown pass from Nolan Right now,
• 50:29
  coach, second half, I guess go back here a second halftime.
• 50:36
  It's thirty to seventeen, Linden with the lead, and then Andre wattson or
• 50:42
  excuse me, geez, I'm all over the place, Tyler. They get
• 50:45
  two touchdowns. It Lending gets two touchdowns in the second half, see home,
• 50:50
  just the one. But Andre Watson kind of came alive, you know,
• 50:53
  at one point here and I see two touchdown receptions for him and fifteen
• 51:00
  catches on the night. Is that what you're telling me? I heard it
• 51:01
  before the show. Yeah, he had a lot of receptions and a couple
• 51:09
  on their uh drive right before halftime, had a couple really spectacular ones.
• 51:15
  You know, he's got great body control and the hands really comes down with
• 51:22
  a lot of passes and you know, just just had a great night.
• 51:24
  Uh. You know, Nolan Wright really was hitting on all cylinders, kind
• 51:30
  of hitting Braddock Duckworth in some zones as well. But see Home, Uh
• 51:37
  couldn't move the ball on the ground very well. And on the flip side,
• 51:39
  you know, Lennon was very balanced and was running it more in terms
• 51:46
  of number of plays. But when they did pass, they you know,
• 51:50
  they hit a couple of big ones. See Home was was packing the box
• 51:53
  to to try to stop the run, and that kind of left their secondary,
• 51:58
  which good secondary player, but they were they were kind of left on
• 52:00
  an island. And Lyndon made some players for sure in the passing game as
• 52:05
  well. Yeah, and you mentioned a couple of guys. They're Braddock,
• 52:07
  Duckworth, Tyler. You'll know better than me, but I see Braddock Duckworth
• 52:13
  over one hundred yards. I see Andre Watson over one hundred yards. I
• 52:15
  feel like two guys getting over one hundred yards receiving probably doesn't happen all that
• 52:22
  often. I guess it doesn't happen all that often, maybe in high school
• 52:27
  football, but also maybe even in Wacom County. Tyler, Am I wrong
• 52:30
  there? Yeah? I mean it's pretty rare. But these two guys,
• 52:36
  you know, it doesn't surprise me. I remember them doing it last year
• 52:39
  against Blaine. They might have done it earlier this year against Blaine. It's
• 52:45
  a great one to punch. You know, Coachwood knows him better than anybody.
• 52:50
  It's they're very different receivers, but they're both gonna come down with everything.
• 52:54
  And you're right, it doesn't happen a ton usually when it's a Usually
• 52:59
  when you have a strong passing team, you'll have you know, four or
• 53:02
  five guys with like three or four catches type thing, or it's really spread
• 53:07
  out. This is very one two heavy, and you know, I know
• 53:14
  only once ever in Walking County history has there been a team with two receiving
• 53:17
  players with over a thousand yards for the season, which is basically averaging one
• 53:23
  hundred per game in a ten game season. I think they only played nine
• 53:27
  that year. That was Blaine. In twenty ten, Todd Bird and Andrew
• 53:30
  Miller each had over a thousand yards receiving in the same season. Wow,
• 53:36
  that is a lot of yards. Uh. Let's see here. Taking a
• 53:39
  look at the numbers, at Sea Home ends up with three hundred and thirty
• 53:42
  six total yards of offense, Lyndon four hundred and thirty eight. So yeah,
• 53:46
  I mean another, you know, good night offensively for Lyndon Sea Home.
• 53:52
  Most of their yards came through the air as Nolan Wright finishes twenty seven
• 53:57
  to forty two, three hundred and fifteen yards. And what I see here,
• 54:00
  Tyler does see two touchdowns through the air, and then he also had
• 54:02
  one on the ground. It appears yeah, I mean, no one right,
• 54:07
  we know he can do these things. Coach, You've seen it firsthand,
• 54:12
  just a sophomore. And you know, we we we kind of got
• 54:15
  told we were maybe jumping the gun a little bit, and Tyler and I
• 54:17
  kind of backed off a little bit if we could, because originally Tyler was
• 54:22
  talking about windmill dunks and stuff. But coach, you've seen no one right
• 54:27
  up close. Uh, I mean, I hate to say it this way,
• 54:30
  but is he kind of everything that we've built him up to be.
• 54:35
  He's a real good player, you know, and he's he's stepping into that
• 54:37
  leadership role as a sophomore only, and he's got weapons and he's a good
• 54:44
  athlete himself in terms of running the ball. So so yeah, you know,
• 54:50
  he's definitely a guy to keep an eye on and you know, continue
• 54:57
  to improve. I think along with that Sea Home team is pretty young overall,
• 55:00
  so uh, they're doing that. But you know, on the on
• 55:04
  the other side, Brent Hepner, you know, he's kind of more that
• 55:07
  traditional mold of a quarterback sitting back there at six six and uh, you
• 55:12
  know, survey in the field and made some really good throws as well to
• 55:16
  his stable receivers that that made some good catches. So a lot of action
• 55:22
  through the air on both sides of the ground on Friday night. Yeah,
• 55:25
  and you know it's kind of interesting. I'm glad you mentioned. Heppner also
• 55:29
  eleven reset or excuse me, eleven completions for two hundred and twenty three yards
• 55:32
  and I see one, two, three, four touchdowns through the air and
• 55:36
  also one on the ground. You know, when you think of Heppner,
• 55:39
  you think of the the prototypical tall, big arm. You know, does
• 55:45
  all of those things you like, and uh, you know then you look
• 55:49
  at you look over at Linden and you see one, two, three,
• 55:52
  four, five different guys getting receptions. I mean, this is kind of
• 55:54
  a classic Linden game. A year ago these two teams played each other,
• 56:00
  maybe even a couple of years ago, it probably would have been three hundred
• 56:05
  and fifteen on the ground and two hundred and twenty three on the ground.
• 56:07
  But here we are at night and we're talking about three hundred and fifteen through
• 56:09
  the air and two hundred and twenty three through the air. I mean,
• 56:12
  it's kind of kind of funny how things going high school football stuff changes so
• 56:16
  you know much year by year. I mean we've talked about it many times
• 56:20
  with Squalicumb how you know, they adapt to their personnel as well as anybody.
• 56:23
  So definitely cool to see, uh, coach, any last words about
• 56:28
  this game before we get out of here. You know, just kind of
• 56:30
  what you alluded to. It's funny you said that because last year, uh,
• 56:36
  you know, another close game in terms of sea home Lynden and it
• 56:42
  was Tommy Funk running the ball for Sea Home and Lyndon was much more ground
• 56:46
  oriented as well. Uh and you know that's kind of kind of flipped a
• 56:51
  little from from those those two teams to these two teams with you know,
• 56:57
  the different players stepping up and those things. So but uh, yeah,
• 57:01
  it was a hard fought game. See home kept coming and you know,
• 57:07
  didn't didn't ever close the gap far enough. But you know, it was
• 57:10
  a it was a good one out there. It was homecoming, so it
• 57:15
  was a packed house. I guess before we get out of here, Tyler,
• 57:19
  we should let you talk just briefly about Andre Watson tying a county county
• 57:24
  record for receptions in a game. Correct. Yeah, pretty pretty impressive.
• 57:29
  You know, It's funny because I think it was Thursday morning somewhere around there
• 57:34
  last week where I I there was seems like there was a lot of records,
• 57:38
  you know, that were going down and being tied, and you know,
• 57:42
  guys getting in the top ten for school records, and so I finally
• 57:45
  updated everything and I just put it out there in social media is saying,
• 57:47
  hey, a lot of records are happening. Here's all the updated record books
• 57:52
  for people to look at, and it went crazy on social media, which
• 57:55
  is funny because it's always on the Walk and Preps page. It's never gone
• 58:00
  away. It's right there in the menu that people can look at. But
• 58:01
  if but if I put it out there, people really look at it.
• 58:05
  And I kind of feel like putting it out there made a few players go
• 58:07
  ooh, I think I could get that. Oh I think I'd get that.
• 58:10
  I don't think they're trying to, but it just it's funny. How
• 58:15
  after I put that out there, a lot of records were taken down this
• 58:17
  weekend, and that was a huge one, a lot of school records.
• 58:22
  This is a county record with fifteen catches in a game, tied Todd Bird,
• 58:25
  who I'd mentioned just about five minutes ago. Todd Bird, I think
• 58:30
  caught eighty one passes his senior year, which is the second most in a
• 58:32
  season for Walking County. He caught fifteen one game, which is crazy because
• 58:37
  I think the next game he carried the ball for like two hundred yards like
• 58:40
  they put him at running back. Just one of those insane athletes. So
• 58:45
  but that's pretty impressive. Andrea Watson, obviously, that breaks a school record
• 58:49
  that ties the county record. He still has another season and a half to
• 58:52
  go to look at some big time career records. Special player, and congratulations
• 58:58
  to him on breaking a or eying a walking county record. Now, Tyler
• 59:01
  really quickly, Todd Bird, I believe he was on the was it the
• 59:05
  All decade team that we did? Yeah? I think he Yeah, he
• 59:08
  was. He was listed as an athlete if I remember correctly, wasn't it
• 59:12
  or something like that? Or offensive weapon? Yeah, offensive weapon, I
• 59:15
  think is what it was, if I can remember correctly, because I remember
• 59:19
  we talked about that you put all over the place, and it seems like
• 59:21
  every school has had guys like that where you they're not that they're position lists,
• 59:27
  but they've played multiple positions on offense and to where they can, you
• 59:31
  know, do lots of different things and just be that kind of special star.
• 59:36
  Yeah, the guys that make high school football really what it is.
• 59:39
  All right, coach, Well let's get out of here. But before we
• 59:43
  go really quickly, do you know where you're headed next week? Uh?
• 59:47
  You know, I think I'm gonna check out the Bellingham BayHawks and they've they've
• 59:53
  won a couple recently, so we'll go check them out. But in terms
• 59:59
  of forward in the two A, it's just interesting that you know, anacortis
• 1:00:05
  beat Cedro Woolley and so it really sets up. Yeah, you can't look
• 1:00:08
  forward. We can, but the coaches and players can't. But antichordis at
• 1:00:14
  Lynden coming up week nine, kind of be for probably be for the title
• 1:00:20
  of that two A league. Yeah, obviously there's still a couple of weeks
• 1:00:23
  of Northwest Conference playing. We all know pretty much anything can happen in that
• 1:00:28
  conference. So they're definitely not looking ahead. But we do because that's what
• 1:00:31
  we do. We try to make things really hard for high school coaches,
• 1:00:34
  is what we like to do. All the kids are going to listen and
• 1:00:37
  go, you know what, let's look ahead, and the coaches will be
• 1:00:38
  like, no, no, stop listening to those idiots. All right,
• 1:00:42
  he's coach, Jeff Wood. You've been listening to coaches, corner coach.
• 1:00:45
  We'll talk to you next week and thank you for your time. Thanks Lan.
• 1:00:50
  Well, that's it for Friday night, Tyler. Let's talk about the
• 1:00:52
  one Saturday game. And Okay, there's something we got to talk about here,
• 1:00:57
  Tyler a little bit because you kind of told me Lyndon plays great when
• 1:01:00
  the weather is great. And the weather was apparently great. I know,
• 1:01:04
  Randy Small dialed it up. He turned to the knobs just right to get
• 1:01:07
  some real nice weather there in the Linden area and the Links forty seven to
• 1:01:14
  six win over a very good Napavine team. Tyler, I mean, I
• 1:01:20
  just look at this and I say to myself, you gotta have something wrong
• 1:01:24
  here in the box, because I did not see this one happening. Yeah
• 1:01:28
  I didn't either. It was, you know, yeah, I was kind
• 1:01:30
  of joking about that, how you know. Last week against Royal it was
• 1:01:35
  you know, it was mucky, it was rainy, it was slippery,
• 1:01:37
  and they just did not look good. Obviously they're playing a great team in
• 1:01:39
  Royal and and I, you know, and I thought, well, and
• 1:01:45
  I think I even said it last week. I was like, well,
• 1:01:46
  the weather's not great, then I it's gonna I just I don't know how
• 1:01:52
  well that offense can move the ball in the weather where they spread everything out,
• 1:01:55
  but they throw it a lot and they were just a lot of timing
• 1:02:00
  was off the throws looking great. And but I got there, the weather
• 1:02:05
  was fantastic. I even wore my Eric Dickerson jersey just for coach Kevin DeYoung.
• 1:02:09
  He was an assistant at Lynda Christian Eric Dickerson is his is his dude.
• 1:02:14
  He was not at the game, and I felt so like, oh
• 1:02:15
  man, I wore it just for him. But that's okay. Kevin Kevin
• 1:02:20
  DeJong is a player that played in the late eighties, played quarterback and wore
• 1:02:22
  number twenty nine. That's how much he loved Eric Dickerson. So I always
• 1:02:27
  give him a hard time about that. I was like, man, you
• 1:02:29
  played quarterback and you're wearing number twenty nine. Who do you think you are
• 1:02:31
  but Eric Dickerson. But it was, it was, you know, it
• 1:02:36
  was pretty even up front. You know. Right off the bat, Lynne
• 1:02:37
  Christian throws an interception, like third play at the game. I'm like,
• 1:02:40
  yeah, Napavine's good man, and then Nappa by a few players later.
• 1:02:45
  It throws an interception and Lynne Christian Trey Bossman intercepts it and returns it all
• 1:02:49
  the way sixty four yards for a touchdown. Did a little dance in the
• 1:02:52
  end zone that the referees must have missed and there was no penalty there.
• 1:02:59
  Shiit me. I got some pictures of it. Give me, give me
• 1:03:01
  a rating on the dance. What's that? Give me a rating on the
• 1:03:04
  dance? Like like one through ten? Ten being the Ikey shuffle, Well
• 1:03:09
  it was. It was very controlled and he had a couple of guys standing
• 1:03:13
  around him, So maybe that was it. Maybe maybe that's why the rest
• 1:03:15
  weren't able to see it. But and and maybe you know that the this
• 1:03:20
  this this linebacker who rarely plays on offense, thought this is gonna be the
• 1:03:23
  only a touchdown ever score, so I might as well do a little dance.
• 1:03:25
  Little did he know he would do the exact same thing in the third
• 1:03:30
  quarter. But Napavine came back and they found something really well in the passing
• 1:03:36
  game. They completed like eight passes in a row and they just looked really
• 1:03:39
  sharp, and it ended with a touchdown pass and I was like, okay,
• 1:03:45
  seven to six. Else he's got a lead. This is kind of
• 1:03:47
  what I'm expecting. And that was that. It was like Napavine was.
• 1:03:53
  They completed like six out of twenty seven the rest of the game. So
• 1:04:00
  there was something that Lyndon Christian adjusted with in the past. Defense, and
• 1:04:04
  you know, the running was okay for Napa bye. But it just they
• 1:04:09
  needed to pass, especially a lot late, and Lynn and Christian was very
• 1:04:18
  I don't know how to say this, like like everything just kind of went
• 1:04:23
  the way they were hoping it would. Hollis Owen ran really hard, picked
• 1:04:28
  up those those strong yardage when they when when Jeremia Wright needed to keep it
• 1:04:31
  and go on himself. It worked really well. He ended up scoring a
• 1:04:35
  touchdown. They got down to the ten yard line and did that did that
• 1:04:39
  quick switch where they put in Eli Eli Mayberry who came in all of a
• 1:04:44
  sudden, they're lining up and wishbone double tight. They only did it on
• 1:04:46
  one play and it was successful for a ten yard touchdown run by Kayden Stit
• 1:04:50
  is only carry the game. He runs it in for a touchdown. They
• 1:04:54
  had a great two minute drill at the end of the first half and it
• 1:04:59
  was It was interesting because they put in Thomas dn Hartog at quarterback when this
• 1:05:04
  happened. And Thomas dn Hartog is a senior with a cannon. Okay,
• 1:05:10
  he's a really really he's got a strong arm, and they knew that they
• 1:05:15
  were gonna have to throw pretty much on every play in this two minute drill,
• 1:05:18
  so they said, let's let's put him in and just see how he
• 1:05:20
  does well. He's throwing darts all over the field. They drive right down
• 1:05:24
  the field, score touchdown with like six or seven seconds to go in the
• 1:05:27
  half. So it was it was everything, you know, it was kind
• 1:05:30
  of like, Okay, we should do this because of this and everything they
• 1:05:33
  did, every move they made worked, and I think Napavine when they were
• 1:05:38
  down, you know, by three touchdowns in the first half, that's just
• 1:05:45
  something they're not used to, you know, especially last year being state champions.
• 1:05:47
  This year they're undefeated coming into this and I don't know if they knew
• 1:05:51
  how to handle that in the second half, and Elsie kind of leaned on
• 1:05:55
  him right off the bat Trey Bossman and the third quarter does it again.
• 1:05:59
  Fifty three yard reception returned for a touchdown, so boom, first time in
• 1:06:02
  school history and another brick. Another record here, Trey Bossman. Two pick
• 1:06:08
  sixes in one game. There's been a handful of guys with two pick sixes
• 1:06:11
  in the same season. He does it in the same game. And then
• 1:06:15
  it was just more of the same, just kind of methodical moving the ball
• 1:06:17
  down the field. They got some backups in. At the end of the
• 1:06:19
  game, you saw Eli Mayberry hit Mick Owen on a short pass and mick
• 1:06:24
  Owen, who's crazy athletic triple jump state champion, spins out and runs past
• 1:06:29
  everybody done left sideline scores a fifty six yard touchdown. Elsie needed this win.
• 1:06:34
  I think it was a great bounce back win from the Royal game,
• 1:06:38
  playing another tough opponent at home to get them into gear for the Nooksack Valley
• 1:06:44
  game. So, you know, that's always tough when you know, if
• 1:06:46
  they would have let's say that this was the Bellevue Christian week, it'd be
• 1:06:50
  so tough to have that game going into Lennon Christian, you know, because
• 1:06:55
  you don't really know what you need, what you need to work on.
• 1:06:58
  I think they found out some things in the first half that in pass coverage
• 1:07:01
  that they needed to work on. They fixed them. It worked well throughout,
• 1:07:05
  and then boom, now they're set to go against Knooksack Valley and a
• 1:07:09
  match up that everyone's excited to see. Lennon Crystal looked great, and you're
• 1:07:13
  right, I mean, the weather was great, they played great, and
• 1:07:16
  I was kind of joking about that just thinking about Royal and this game.
• 1:07:19
  And then I thought, well, they lost the Lakeside game in Week one,
• 1:07:23
  which was also in the rain, and it's thought, well, and
• 1:07:28
  then you start looking back to last year where they were on a big run.
• 1:07:30
  They did lose the game against Baker. It wasn't bad weather, but
• 1:07:34
  that Thursday night, you know, that tiebreaker was horrible weather. And they
• 1:07:41
  played twice and they lost them both. So they lost. And I mean
• 1:07:47
  or no, they didn't play twice. They Oh, yeah they did.
• 1:07:51
  I think they all did. They all played each other. No, no,
• 1:07:55
  they played Nuksack. They played Nuksac only and Knocksack got them. I
• 1:07:58
  mean, it was you know, I don't know, it's just one of
• 1:08:01
  those things maybe where I don't know if it's in their head or not,
• 1:08:04
  but they got They got some dudes and they put on the show on Saturday.
• 1:08:10
  So what you're telling me, Tyler, is if I'm another team in
• 1:08:13
  the Northwest Conference, I want to have some sprinklers ready to go for when
• 1:08:16
  Nooksack comes to town. Well, you know, it's it's it's pretty crazy.
• 1:08:23
  It's just it's just one of those weird It's just one of those weird
• 1:08:26
  things that could just be an anomaly. But but I think that, I
• 1:08:30
  think that, I mean that Knok Sack Lennon Christian game. I am so
• 1:08:34
  excited. I just I just I just want to be a fan for that
• 1:08:38
  one, you know what I mean. Yeah, it's gonna be a big
• 1:08:42
  one. Let's see here, Lynden Christian three hundred and sixty five yards of
• 1:08:46
  offense Napavine two sixty one, probably their lowest output in quite a while.
• 1:08:51
  Uh so, big shout out to the defense there for Lynden Christian. I
• 1:08:56
  mean, you give up points early on and then boom, shutter down,
• 1:09:00
  baby, that's what you're looking for. I mean, that's that's that's a
• 1:09:04
  good win. Like you said, I mean, it's very similar to what
• 1:09:06
  we talked about just a few minutes ago that you know, this is a
• 1:09:10
  this is a really good win to get them back on track. As you
• 1:09:15
  mentioned, big game this week, So we will talk about that one on
• 1:09:17
  the Well was it gonna be this week? Tyler? Is it a Wednesday
• 1:09:20
  or a Thursday? That will be Wednesday because there is a Thursday game this
• 1:09:25
  week again there is Oh that's right, Yeah, there is a Thursday game.
• 1:09:28
  So we will be posting that Wednesday morning at eight o'clock. If you
• 1:09:30
  are subscribed to the podcast, you will get a notification, so be sure
• 1:09:34
  to do that. If not, you'll have it available. What would that
• 1:09:38
  be Thursday at eight am? Yeah, Thursday morning eight am. Thursday morning
• 1:09:42
  eight am when the the preview comes out, which has the picks, the
• 1:09:46
  fantasy, the I mean all kinds of stuff with the with the preview podcast
• 1:09:51
  and the preview post. So yeah, be sure to keep an eye out
• 1:09:55
  for that one. Uh, Tyler, that's it for the games. Uh,
• 1:10:00
  seven games. I mean we would have been talking for another two hours
• 1:10:03
  if it was last week. But yeah, seven games there. So let's
• 1:10:08
  talk about the pick them from last week, which I was on a roll.
• 1:10:15
  I was on a real role until Napavine just went clunk. Yeah,
• 1:10:19
  so Tyler, you go five and two. You're bringing up the rear again
• 1:10:24
  this week. Connor, he's right there with you though, and then our
• 1:10:28
  buddy Michael Noftel, who I'm just happy I beat him. I mean,
• 1:10:31
  that's that's really what I was aiming to do this week, was beat him,
• 1:10:34
  and I did because I went six and one along with Joe, and
• 1:10:39
  then Nate just continues to rumble U Nate goes from actually he goes from second
• 1:10:45
  place to first place this week overall, because he went seven to Ozero.
• 1:10:48
  I mean, big, big week for Nate. I mean, in all
• 1:10:51
  the years that we've done this, Tyler, there aren't very many times where
• 1:10:56
  somebody's gone perfect in a week. That's true, you know, and usually
• 1:10:59
  when happens, like three or four people do it, you know what I
• 1:11:01
  mean. Yeah, it's just one of those weeks where it's kind of it
• 1:11:03
  all looks you know, we all kind of went the same way type deal.
• 1:11:08
  Yeah, we typically one person going undefeated in a week. That's pretty
• 1:11:11
  rare. Yeah, well, especially because you would think that, you know,
• 1:11:14
  maybe Joe would go undefeated also, you know, in a week like
• 1:11:17
  that. But yeah, so overall, Nate is taking over the lead there
• 1:11:24
  at thirty one and eleven, Connor thirty and twelve, Me and Joe are
• 1:11:30
  twenty eight and fourteen. The guests this last week, Michael Noftl twenty seven
• 1:11:34
  and fifteen, and then Tyler still kicking down below. Kicking down below.
• 1:11:40
  That sounds so rude, but that's what's going on right now. Tyler,
• 1:11:45
  you are twenty six and sixteen. I mean at this point I might as
• 1:11:48
  well just stop picking and I'll still probably beat you. I mean, I'm
• 1:11:51
  just saying even though I'm only two picks at But Tyler, let's now talk
• 1:11:55
  about the players of the week. What do you say, Yeah, it
• 1:11:58
  sounds good. Let's do it. Zazzen Salon SPA sponsors the Offensive Player of
• 1:12:01
  the Week, Tyler. They are at eleven bell Weather Parkway in Bellingham,
• 1:12:06

• 1:12:13
  SPA Offensive Player of the Week, Tyler, give it to me. Oh
• 1:12:15
  my goodness, there was like eight players that I was looking at for this
• 1:12:18
  one. This was one of those crazy weeks for offensive Player of the week,
• 1:12:21
  but I settled on Connor Walker of Ferndale. I thought having one hundred
• 1:12:28
  yards rushing and a hundred yards receiving and doing getting a touchdown of both,
• 1:12:31
  I think that really helped the Ferndale team in a big moment in a conference
• 1:12:34
  game to get the win. He did so much in both phases of the
• 1:12:40
  game that if you're looking at value and stuff like that, that was a
• 1:12:45
  huge That was a huge game for Connor Walker. So Connor Walker Ferndale is
• 1:12:49
  your Zazzen Salon SPA Offensive Player of the Week. Max Hair Studio sponsors the
• 1:12:54
  defensive Player of the Week. Find Max Hair Studio at Bella's Fair Mall or

• 1:13:04
  Hair Studio Defensive Player of the Week Tyler Yeah, I definitely had to go
• 1:13:08
  Trey Bosman, the junior inside linebacker at Lyndon Christian. Not only did he
• 1:13:13
  have those two pick sixes that totaled one hundred and seventeen yards and interception returns,
• 1:13:17
  he also had seven and a half tackles, two tackles for loss,
• 1:13:20
  and a pass broken up. That pass broken up, but it was in
• 1:13:25
  the second half and if he would have it looked like he almost intercepted it.
• 1:13:29
  If he would have, that could have been a ninety five yard interception
• 1:13:31
  return for a touchdown. That would have been insane. He's he's been great
• 1:13:35
  all year, just putting up numbers and doing different things and and I've been
• 1:13:41
  loving his game. But it was cool to see him in pass coverage to
• 1:13:44
  do his thing and score a couple of touchdowns on defense. Huge, huge
• 1:13:47
  game came out with the point system came out with forty two points, an
• 1:13:51
  unbelievable week. Defensively, Trey Bosman of Lyndon Christian is your Max Hair Studio
• 1:13:57
  Defensive Player of the Week. Pat's real Estates. There's the Special Teams Player
• 1:14:00

• 1:14:09
  real Estate dot Com. Tyler who is the PETS real Estate Special Team is
• 1:14:13
  a player of the week. It's Mount Baker junior Brady bruland Oh starting off
• 1:14:17
  the game with that ninety five yard kickoff return for a touchdown. That was
• 1:14:23
  huge and in front of the home fans. He's had a couple kickoff returns
• 1:14:27
  for touchdowns in his career. Those were both on the road, so to
• 1:14:30
  do it at home is really cool. His dad's part of the Chain Gang,
• 1:14:33
  so he got to see it eight up there, close and personal,
• 1:14:35
  which is always fun. It was. That's a huge play. Like I
• 1:14:41
  said earlier, that could be a record breaker as well. But I have
• 1:14:45
  to go back and do a little bit more digging, but man, huge
• 1:14:49
  play. You know. I almost gave it to him last week, but
• 1:14:53
  Jorgan Vigory broke those school records as at kicking. I felt bad for Brady
• 1:14:58
  Brulin. I was like, guy, he's a junior, you know,
• 1:15:00
  you never know he could hey, and then the next very next week he
• 1:15:02
  does this, So congratulations to him. Brady Brulin, the junior from Mount
• 1:15:08
  Baker, is your Pets Real Estate Special Teams Player of the Week. Bella

  to Josh to see what makes him and his team an extraordinary advantage for your
• 1:15:32
  company. Tyler, who is the bell Anderson Insurance Offensive linement of the Week.
• 1:15:39
  Well, Jesse Harward of Bellingham senior right tackle. He's it was just
• 1:15:45
  pure dominance. I would have felt so I felt so bad for that Laconnor
• 1:15:49
  team. And it didn't matter who they put up against him. Running plays,
• 1:15:54
  he was getting driven down the field passing plays. He's just a wall.
• 1:15:58
  I mean, there's nothing you could do to get to get past him.
• 1:16:01
  And you know, it's it's interesting because he's playing right tackle, but
• 1:16:05
  he's protecting the blind side of Josh Leonard, the left handed quarterback, and
• 1:16:11
  Josh had tons of time back there to throw. It proved out in the
• 1:16:14
  stats, going fourteen and fifteen passing, throwing five touchdown passes. But it
• 1:16:18
  all starts up front. Jesse Harward is your Bell Anderson Insurance offensive linement of
• 1:16:24
  the Week. Zazen Salon Spam, Max Harris Studio, Pet's Real Estate,
• 1:16:30
  and Bell Anderson Insurance. Thank you to our sponsors for sponsoring the players of
• 1:16:33
  the week. Be sure to visit the sponsors and let them know that you
• 1:16:36
  heard about their business on the Welcome Preps podcast. Tyler, let's talk about
• 1:16:41
  the fantasy numbers and then let's get out of here, because I'm really excited
• 1:16:45
  and I want to celebrate this w I took this week from you, Tyler.
• 1:16:50
  You've brought in one hundred and sixty six point six, which is actually
• 1:16:55
  very good. Bet that being said, we have a new record breaking score
• 1:17:00
  because my team went absolutely bonkers with a two hundred and five point six performance.
• 1:17:08
  You said to me, Tyler, the first time any of us have
• 1:17:11
  ever broken two hundred points and obviously nobody better to do it than myself.
• 1:17:15
  So you're so Josh Leonard gets me twenty nine. At quarterback, Brant Hepner
• 1:17:25
  got you twenty eight point nine Phoenix Spink Bond or thirty two point four from
• 1:17:29
  For me, you had Colton Lance who got thirty point three. Those two
• 1:17:35
  scores are phenomenal, I mean for running back and for quarterback Tyler. When
• 1:17:41
  you started tallying it up, you probably had to look at it and go,
• 1:17:43
  oh, I'm feeling good about myself this week, and then all of
• 1:17:45
  a sudden you get to me and you're just like, oh, this is
• 1:17:47
  interesting. Then we go yeah, well, then we go to receiver and
• 1:17:51
  we both picked Bellingham guys. You took Wyatt Steph and he came in with
• 1:17:56
  fifteen point four, which is again, is a nice week. Fortunately,
• 1:18:00
  Josh tol thirty seven point seven points. That's right. I kind of forgot
• 1:18:05
  about this. I went full Bellingham here I end up with fifty one points
• 1:18:11
  from Bellingham. On the offensive line, you took Lindon with fifty four,
• 1:18:15
  so you got me in that one. Uh Squalacombs defense got you ten.
• 1:18:18
  Mount Baker's defense got me fifteen point five. Blake Kreski in the front seven,
• 1:18:26
  he got you nine. Tyler Frost in the front seven for me twenty,
• 1:18:30
  Connor Walker on the back seven for me eighteen points. Dawson is a
• 1:18:34
  bauma. Boma Yama got you fifteen. I mean, Tyler, these numbers
• 1:18:41
  are just sane what we did this week. And then we get to the
• 1:18:45
  kickers and they kind of let us down, if I'm being honest. Now
• 1:18:47
  you know why we didn't even need the kickers and we were going bonkers here.
• 1:18:50
  Phoenix Finkbonner got me two points and Evan Easley get you four. So
• 1:18:56
  yeah, one sixty six point six to two hundred and five point six,
• 1:19:00
  Tyler, I mean, it's definitely possible that neither of us will reach those
• 1:19:05
  numbers again this season. I mean, you're yeah, you're right. And
• 1:19:09
  we've been doing this now for a while and we always joke about how we
• 1:19:14
  picked guys that aren't on the team anymore, or yeah, you know,
• 1:19:17
  get injured or it's a it's a bad luck thing, and it's like,
• 1:19:21
  man, it's like this week, everybody we picked just they came out and
• 1:19:26
  played awesome, and uh, you know, it's pretty cool to see and
• 1:19:30
  and I don't think it has to do with us being these great pickers.
• 1:19:35
  These guys are there's a lot of talent out there this year and it's always
• 1:19:39
  fun to see. And and there was a lot of guys that we didn't
• 1:19:43
  pick that had huge games. I mean, Andre Watson, for crying out
• 1:19:45
  loud, had a huge game, Skyler Wittern had a huge game. Connor
• 1:19:48
  Walker on offense had a huge game. Talent Bungard had a huge game.
• 1:19:54
  There's lots of guys that are putting up some numbers and and uh, it's
• 1:20:00
  been it's been great to cover so far. And as far as the regular
• 1:20:02
  season goes, we're halfway through it and and it's it's going at blazing speed.
• 1:20:09
  But I think that we're both pretty confident and excited that once we hit
• 1:20:14
  the postseason that there are some strong teams that hopefully will lead us through November
• 1:20:18
  pretty far. Yeah. I mean, I think we both feel like we're
• 1:20:23
  gonna be talking football here for well, actually a long time because we still
• 1:20:29
  got the top one hundred and two, but well we're gonna be talking about
• 1:20:31
  games for probably a solid two months here still. So uh, yeah,
• 1:20:35
  we're pretty excited about where where the season's headed. As far as Walcom County
• 1:20:40
  goes but h Tyler. Yeah, I mean when you look at the fantasy
• 1:20:43
  it is pretty wild some of the guys that we didn't pick that. I
• 1:20:45
  mean I could have taken, Uh, I could have taken Connor Walker at
• 1:20:49
  two positions, but then I would have had to not take Phoenix pink Bonner
• 1:20:53
  at two right, you're right, yeah, exactly. And it's funny how
• 1:20:58
  you know, we joked about it off air, Uh, Phoenix Spinkbonner only
• 1:21:01
  getting you two points as the kicker. He probably said, you know what,
• 1:21:04
  I've scored enough on offense for Ryland. I don't need to kick the
• 1:21:08
  rest of the game. And they had Kaden Eldridge come in and kick,
• 1:21:12
  uh, starting like happen through the second quarter and then beyond. And yeah,
• 1:21:17
  I think I think I think it went fine for you. Well,
• 1:21:19
  let me put it to you this way, Tyler. When you pick a
• 1:21:21
  guy at two positions and he ends up getting you thirty four point four points,
• 1:21:27
  you're very happy. Yeah, no, exactly. Yeah. He's like,
• 1:21:30
  well, I'm just gonna put all my efforts into the offensive scoreboard there
• 1:21:35
  for Ryland and we'll be okay. Yeah, he decided to use his legs
• 1:21:39
  instead of his leg. All right, well let's get out of here.
• 1:21:45
  Before we leave, though, let's give another thanks to Kurt Mayberry Farm and

• 1:22:09
  we don't do another one between now or well the preview and this next one
• 1:22:15
  this next week, we'll be number two hundred when we record this one on
• 1:22:17
