  Speaker 2: of this the regular season, that is anyways with the
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: winter sports and we're into February already and you look
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: out the window and there's a bunch of snow and
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: it's it's getting to that time of the year, which
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: is crazy because I remember this time last year I
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: was heading to Vegas to check out Super Bowl Week
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: and go hang out with the guys on the Dan
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Patrick Show. And it was so cold and bags, I
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: mean it was in the thirties. It was so weird,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: but glad.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: To be still here and checking out all these sports
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: and and saying there was it was rivalry week in basketball,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: so a lot of stuff that there to talk about,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: and yeah, it's a lot of a lot of a
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: lot of good things going on right now.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Tyler, we're just gonna skip all of the sports
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and only talk about Linden Lynn and Christians. So if
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: you're looking for anything else, we're not the guys. Yeah,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: we do need to need to give it thank you
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to Joana Berlowski, Ferndale senior basketball player. We will be
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: talking about Ferndale and their basketball team here in a
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: little bit, Uh, trust me on that, Tyler. Still don't
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: have a main sponsor here on the On the Walk
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: On Preps podcast, but I've heard there's some things coming
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: down the line, some new potential sponsors, things going on,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: But there's still time and there's still things that need
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: to be sponsored. So if somebody would like to get
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: a hold of you, what's the best way to do it?
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: And this has been working great getting the word out there,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: and it's basically just getting hold of me through social media.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Send a message and just kind of say that you're interested,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: maybe what you're interested in, Ask any questions you want,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: and I can reply and we could figure it out
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: and kind of go from there. Hopefully a phone conversation
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: can happen and and we can discuss things. Things can
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: get moved on pretty quickly because because I am not
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: only the editor in chief and the president and the CEO,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I'm also I do billing and advertising, and so it's
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: kind of like I'm the person to ask all the
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: questions and and get the ball moving. I don't have
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: to get to somebody else to do and stuff like that.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: So uh so, yeah, but there's there is always stuff available,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: and there's some you know, there's always things that are
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: that I might not even be thinking of that could
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: be great, things like this, like we talked about last
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: week with the standings, you know for the spring season
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: and stuff like that. There's always things that we haven't
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: done yet that could be great. And so yeah, and
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: one of the cool things I'm working on, I'm definitely
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: not going to finish it until probably the end of summer.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: But I have been moving along pretty well on this
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: database thing. And so, you know, think of Internet Movie
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Database IMDb.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Everybody uses that.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: You're watching a movie or TV show and you go
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: where do I know that guy from? And then you
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: pause and you go to IMDb and you find that
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: person and you click on them and you find a
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: show they were on. Then you say, oh, they were
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: in this show too, you click on that show, and
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: it just it just keeps going. There will be that
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: for walk Them Preps eventually with games, sports, athletes, schools, everything,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: So that is something that could have a major sponsor
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: as well. So that's like retro walk them preps, you know.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: So it's a pretty cool deal.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: That's always kind of been like a dream of mine
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: to have. But the thing I'm using, I wanted to
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: talk to other sports like it wants to do just
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: like one sport, okay.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Like I need it to kind of go.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I need it to like I'm doing it for basketball
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: right now, which is great because because basketball has girls
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: and boys, and I can break it up into two
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: different things. It's all the same ideas rebounds and all
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: that stuff, so I can break it up in two different.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Ways like that.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: But then if I want to add baseball to it,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: it it like if I add those stats, then it
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: still has all the other ones. And it's interesting because
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: it wants to do scores by quarters, not innings, and
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I can't get them to mold together on the same platform.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: So I'm working on that.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: But oh I can't wait because it's all going to
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: happen and it's going to be so cool.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's uh. I mean if you were talking about
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: like bang for your buck sponsorship wise, I gotta feeling
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: that one could be it's gonna get a lot of clicks. Yeah,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: And I mean that's one of those ones that as
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: your utofficial like uh financial guy over here, like I
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: might want to charge a little more for that one,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: tither because I gotta feeling that one is going to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: get an absolute ton of clicks once you get it going.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that's the thing that you could you'll be
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: You'll you'll go down a rabbit hole. That's what's fun. Yeah,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I mean I will. And I don't even know any
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of these people, you know what I mean, right, I
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: just I just want to see, you know what kind
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: of stuff you know some of these coaches that I
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: know that played up there, you know what I mean,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Like to me, like that would be the coolest thing.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: And then also the ability for like you know, every
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: now and then I think back and I'm like, like,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: oh man, I was at that state championship game back
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety seven, you know, like who you know
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: whatever year that there was a Wakham County team. And
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: then if I have the ability to go look up
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: some easy stuff like that, like that would be super cool.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean, Tyler, I'm the guy that goes onto,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: goes on to Wikipedia, hits random article, and then spends
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: two hours just sitting there looking. Before you know it,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I'm on like seventy five different pages, you know, and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I'm going, how did I even get here? And then
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I got to click all the way back and it's
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: like the uh, what is it? The five degrees at
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Kevin Bacon or whatever the heck it is, you know, yeah,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: six six degrees six Kevin Bacon. Yeah, I'm just sitting
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: there going, how did I even end up in this?
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: You know, little tiny town and chech or something, you know,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, what who lived there? Then you go
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: back and look and you're like, wait a minute, and
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: how did I end up, you know, on Winston Churchill
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: out of this too? Like right right?
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: And that's what's that. That's what's great is you just
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: keep clicking and seeing all these different things. And if
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: you were at the state championship in nineteen ninety seven
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: when Lyndon Christian.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Beat Colefax, I was.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: The quarterback was Greg Dykstra, otherwise known as the Greg.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Oh. Yeah, so there you go around? Yeah exactly. Now
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: did we ever find out like does he still go
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: by that?
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I did see him at a basketball game like like
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: like a day after that podcast, and and he just
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: got I just like hey, Greg, and he's like hey,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: and we just kind of walked by each other.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: He heard it or see him call him so extremely
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: humble that like it probably just embarrasses him if I
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: even say anything like that.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: It was probably embarrassed to see you because he listened
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: to the podcast. One of nine people. Man, Yeah, I
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: should say I shouldn't joke around about that anymore. We
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: got people potentially sponsoring thing, and he wore number nine. See.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's almost like a play on
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: that out. Yeah, although I couldn't have possibly done that
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: because you don't have the database up yet. Yeah. Anyway,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: lots of stuff to sponsor, including stuff in the spring.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: There's still some things going on there. And I mean,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I guess technically it's not too early to talk about
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the fall if somebody really wanted to. But yeah, and
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I think something that we could
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: also say Tyler too. Is like if you're you know,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: if you work at a company or something and you
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: think maybe there's an opportunity that your company would like to,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you know, reach out to Tyler, get his information and
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe pass it along to the marketing department
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: or whoever it is, and you know, I'll see if
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: there's maybe something there that they'd be interested in, because
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I think the prices are very fair and if you're
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: a business looking to get you know, especially one thing
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I learned in some of the stuff that I did
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: over the years was how many businesses like to get
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: in to stuff just because it's it's uh, you know,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: youth related, which technically high school football and baseball and basketball,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: it's still youth, you know what I mean. So it's
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: you it's youth sports, it's local youth sports. Yeah, and
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: how many people are are truly interested in having their
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: business be a part of that? And so you know,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, Tyler, you know how it is, Like I'm
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: sure you've gone through some maybe some sponsorship stuff with
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: like what do you call it, like softball, you know
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: what I mean, Like there's always people out there that
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: want to sponsor softball teams, you know, because it's just
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: a cheap, easy way to to to get your name
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: out there. Well, you want to talk about something that's
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: going to get you way more eyes than a softball team.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just saying when I'm talking softball too,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about like, yeah, I know, you're talking
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: like slow pitch, slow pitch Men's League. Like half the
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: people don't even know what it says on your uniforms
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: when they're sitting there in the stands looking at you,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But yeah, absolutely so yeah,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: And I mean, Tyler, you were talking about it on
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the podcasts before. You know, close to a million views
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: last year on the website, and we routinely get one
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: hundred upon hundreds and you know, I don't even know
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the numbers off the top of my head, but a
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: lot of listens here on the podcast. In your social media,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I mean Instagram, I truly mean this when I say it.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: When I forced you basically to get an Instagram, never
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: expected it to be what it is.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've developed a great relationship with a lot of
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: students athletes, and it's been a it's been a great
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: it's it's worked out so well that way, And you're right,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: because I just got to sixty five hundred followers on
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Instagram crazy and.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: And that's really cool.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: And it always gives you how many views in the
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: last thirty days. It's always hovering between one point one
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: and one point five million, which is just insane. And
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: you were saying views from lat from twenty twenty four
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: on the website. It's actually clicks on the website. Oh yeah,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know the views, but the clicks were really
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: close to a million. And that was my goal for
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty four and I think I will easily surpass
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: it twenty twenty five just because the trend and the
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: way things have been going.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: So yeah, everything's just consistently going up. So if you
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: wanted to get on, now's the time to do it,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: because I mean, it's very easy to just say, yep,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: we're on board again, you know what I mean. And
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: that's what that's what some of these businesses do, and
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the reason they keep coming back is because it's really
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: good bang for your buck. May Tyler. We've got lots
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: of stuff to talk about here. We've got boys wrestling,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: girls wrestling, We've got boys swim and Dive girls basketball,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: boys basketball. We've got some players of the week, we've
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: got stat leaders, we've got some games to look ahead
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: to next week, and we are getting really close to
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: tournament time here in not only you know, wrestling, but
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: you know, basketball's right here, and I'm sure Swim and
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Dive is probably pretty close. I mean state championships. I
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: believe it was for Swim and Dive a typically a
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: little earlier, aren't they Are they at the same time
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: as wrestling. Yeah, they're kind of that.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Boy, it's tricky because I want to say, because I
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: know during the spring, they're during like everything's happening at
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the same time the spring, it feels like, but for
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: winter it's a little different.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: It's February twenty and twenty twenty to twenty two.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it sounds kind of right around the time
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: when the Matt Classic is happening.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, wrestling is twenty to twenty two.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so those two happened at the same time, and yeah,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: it's crazy.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Girls basketball, we've got March five to eight, so a
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: little over a week later, two weeks later. Yeah, so yeah,

• 14:06
  Speaker 2: twenty five points. Ferndale was at this tournament. They took
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: ninth place with twenty nine and a half points, and
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: they had a couple placers at one hundred and forty pounds.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Carmen fink Bunner took fourth place and one hundred and
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: forty five pounds Kennedy Medley took third place.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: That is it for boys and girls wrestling again, no sponsor.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Even as we head towards the tournament here and we
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: know there's gonna be a lot of action come tournament
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: time because Walcome County usually sends quite a few people
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: to the Tacoma Dome. Let's move on to talk about
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Boys Swim and Dive that is sponsored by Staffer Insurance
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: nineteen oh three Front Street in Linden. You can give
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: them a call three six zero seven four six eighty
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: eighth three or find them online st A U F
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: F e Erinsurance dot com. And I'll tell you what,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: if you're a business thinking about potentially sponsoring Welcome Preps,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: you probably give them a call and talk to them
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: about that too. I mean, yeah, exactly.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Marty over there would be happy to tell you
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: how great it's spend to jump on board with Walkham Preps.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: And then if you want to own a business and
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: you want to have it covered, you can talk to
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Marty about that as well.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there you go. That's a good way to
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: do it. Maybe take him out to lunch. And then
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: started off by talking about Walkham Preps and his love
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: for Walkham Preps and hey, you guys always sponsor stuff, right, Yeah, okay, great, awesome,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: that's really good to hear. All right, now I got
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: to cover my business here or my home or auto,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I don't even know. I do remember at one point
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: we had a list of everything they covered and it
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: was a lot of stuff. It was a lot. Yes, absolutely,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Actually I think the reason I took it out of
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: there might I might not have had enough breath, might
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: not have been able to do it. But let's take
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: a look at the standings really quickly. Tyler Lyndon they
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: are two and seven on the year, Ferndale four and five,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Bellingham six and three. They are tied with Squalcum who
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: is also six and three, and then see Home they
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: are on top seven one and one. They do have
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: that tie. I got a feeling we could do this
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: for another ten years and never see another tie. Think,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. I don't know if you're right about
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: doing it for another ten years. Well yeah, yeah'll see.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get through tonight.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, But you're right, I don't know if we'll
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: see another tie again.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: It always throws me off when I go through this
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: and see the tie there, which you really think like
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: it shouldn't because there's so many ties in soccer that like,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: it shouldn't throw me off. But there's no ties in basketball,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: no ties in football. So sing that extra column there. Yeah, yeah,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: it always throws me off. Let's talk top times in
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the County, Tyler. And for the people at home, if
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I see a name in red, that means new person
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: or same person, new time. If I see one in blue,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: that's an entirely new person there, or a new team
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: or maybe a chunk of a new team and for
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: a new time. So when I say this, I don't
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: I'm not lying. There's a lot of America on this one,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: because we got quite a few different names going on
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: this week, Tyler.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And what's really cool about that is, you know
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: a lot of these athletes are really ratcheting it up
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: for you know, this postseason run. You know they're getting
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: ready and you're seeing the top swimmers improving their own times.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Which is huge to get those district.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Qualifying times, state qualifying times. And so that's just that
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: kind of tends to what happens seems to happen in
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: sports like swimming or track and field stuff like that,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: where you start really bettering it later in the season.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: And as you have that final push. We will start
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: with the two hundred at Medley where we've got a
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: new time.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Hayden Nelson, Finn Smith, Michael Ciotti, and Cooper Yardsley
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: of Squalicum. They bested their already best county time by
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: a few seconds. They're now at one minute and fifty
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: one point seven four seconds fifty freestyle.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: We've got an entirely new name here.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Kile Arthur of Seahome, kind of snug past everybody there,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: twenty three point six seven seconds, the first first athlete
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: this year to have a sub twenty four second time
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: in the fifty free style.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know anything about this stuff in
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: terms of like what is a great time or like
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: anything like that, but I'm gonna tell you right now,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: twenty three point sixty seven seems like it's freaking flying.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: It just it just really does. Man. Hey, in the
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: one meter dive, we have a similar name or the
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: same name, but a new number here.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Kaden Schmidt of Seahome. He just keeps bettering his
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: own score ever since. He came back in January and
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: putting up great numbers here at two hundred and twenty
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: nine point one, and we talked about you don't see
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: a lot of scores over two hundred, so he jumped
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: that one way up.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: That's going to be a really tough one to be.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Tyler is swim and dive the only sport out there
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: where everything is about the lowest except for like a
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: couple of discipline, like like you want to get the
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: highest number in that one, but you want to get
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: the lowest number and everything else.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean track and field. You're going for distance
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: and then you're getting better times. Yes, I guess it's
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I guess it's pretym the exact name everything. Just one's
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: in a pool and one's on a field.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Right, one hundred butterfly, we have the same young man,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: but he's got a new time.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Michael Siatti is Squalicum bested his time. He's now
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: fifty seven point five to three seconds.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: And the hundred breastrokes, same thing, same name, just new time. Yep.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Cohen Matthew Seaholme.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: This is the third week in a row he's led
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: with a new time now at one minute and one
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: minute nine point.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Two two seconds. Wow, that one seems like it's absolutely flying.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Two four hundred freestyle relay, the big one now it's blue.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: It's still Squalicum, but it's not the same four guys. Yeah,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: it's really close to it.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: It's but it's a lot of names that you do
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: recognize Michael Siatti, Cooper Yardsley, Finn Smith and Hayden Nelson
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Squalicum now have the top time at three minutes forty
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: six point three nine seconds.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: It's actually the exact same four guys for the two
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: hundred Medley, just in a different order. Yep.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, you know what's so funny. I don't know if
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: you play Wordle or any of those games I have. Yeah,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: So there's one game called Connections that's on there, and
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you've played that, but it's it's
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: like a group of like sixteen different words and you
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: have to find groups of four that go together, and
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: it's really it's hard.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: But once you get it, you're like, oh, oh, I
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: got it.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: And one of them the you know, out out of
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: the sixteen words, what you know, four of them were free, butter, back,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: and breast, and they were all the different strokes you
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: do in swimming. And so I saw it really quickly
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: because because we do this every single week and we
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: talk about it and them always typing these out and
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: the on the software insurance daily recaps, and it's just like,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: holy cow, if I if I wasn't covering swimming, I
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: don't think I would have found the connection there between
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: those those four words. But it just happened the other
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: day and I just thought, oh, this is awesome, this
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: is pretty cool.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: That's actually really funny. Yeah, all right, that's different boys
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: swim and dive Again. Thank you to Software Insurance for
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: their continuous sort of watcom preps. Let's move on and
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: talk about girls basketball. We've got the scoreboards, which are
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: pretty much daily brought to you by Edeline Dairy from
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Satisfied Cows to Satisfied Rylands Edeline. By the way, Tyler,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: right before we started going here, I was actually doing
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: laundry when you sent over the zoom link right and
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: I went, oh, shoot, that's right, we're going at nine
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: I go. I'm like, oh, you know what, I need
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: a glass of milk before I go. You know, it
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: was on sale the other day, so I bought it.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Whole milk is so much better than every other milk.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: I don't care what anybody says. It's just so much better.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: It just tastes absolutely better. And by the way, people
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: make fun of me for the way I say milk,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: because apparently I say it m e l k oh,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: not milk. No, I say milk and I never thought
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: about it until somebody brought it up recently, and then
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: I've had like four other people bring it up. I
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: don't know if they're just like colluding against me or something,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: but it's driving me nuts now every time I say it, Yeah,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: well that's all right, Yeah, can you believe it? I
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: mean I can Edeline Dairy though E D A L

• 22:14
  Speaker 1: at Vance Custom Cards dot com. Uh. We talked about
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: them last week, Tyler and I. The more I think
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: about it, I don't know what it is. I think
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: it's maybe because we were talking about it and Google
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: is always listening. But I've started having a lot of
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: like card stuff show up on my uh on my timeline,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: you know, on like Instagram and like all these other places,

  Speaker 2: a Colton Lens card right now. And I mean it's
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: just it's fun, you know, it's a it's a really
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: cool deal and and happy to give in information for
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: the old back of the card where all the stats show.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Really yeah, yeah, I mean not like you don't have
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: it exactly. Hey, let's go through and talk about the
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: the well, I guess it's eleven teams now, starting with
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: see Home. They are five and eight in league seven
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: and seven and eleven overall. Yes, I want to slurpee
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Bellingham they are two and ten, five and twelve overall.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Mount Baker two and eleven, six and eleven, Blaine one
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: and nine, four and twelve, Tyler, let's talk about those four. Yeah.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Rough rough week here for most of these teams except
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: seem Blaine. Blaine played it actually probably their best offensive
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: game of the year earlier in the week against Lakewood,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: putting up forty three points. I believe that's the most
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: they've put up all season against a Lakewood team that
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: has really put some teams away. So that was a
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: tremendous showing by the bard Rights. But they did lose
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: that one fifty six to forty three, and then turn
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: around and lost to a really tough defensive Ferndale team
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: fifty seven to twenty six Mount Baker. They are so
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: shorthanded right now. I just feel horrible for them. I
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: went to the game earlier against Linden, and you know,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: first of all, you go into the season and your
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: two best ball handlers both transfer. So then then you
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: have two point guards that come in that are both freshmen,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: and they're good players, but they're freshmen, and one's one's injured,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: and then Rebecca Sores is injured, and some players are sick.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: The coach was out. I think she might have been sick.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: So you're and you're going against the best team in
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: the state and I'm talking, I don't care about classification,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: best team in the state with the Linden girls, and
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: you only have like six, you know, seven or eight
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: players on your bench total. And they go out there
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: and so one of the other freshman point guard, the
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: one that actually is healthy, like three minutes into the game,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: she gets a cut on her face, like like on
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: her temple, and all of a sudden, she looks like
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Rick Flair out there, like circa ninete eighty eight, just
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: blood coming down her face.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I just felt so bad.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: And she didn't return to the game. I messaged her
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: later to check on her and see she was doing okay,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: and she she's like, I'm doing okay. She goes, I
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: got six stitches.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Wow, And that doesn't happen a lot in basketball.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: No, And so Lyndon's pretty aggressive, and so they had
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: to finish that game out with like one less player
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: than they already had. I mean, it was just tough.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: So they lost that one seventy eight to twenty, and
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: then lost to Lake with sixty five to thirty nine.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: They're fighting hard, but they are really really shorthanded right now.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: It was good to see coach Ramirez back during that
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: second game. Bellingham. They had three games this week and
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: I saw one of them. I saw the game against Squalakum.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: They just, you know, they play so well and they
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: and they do, they do some really good things, but
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: then there's like a tough quarter here and there, and
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: it's hard to recover from that sometimes. Losing to Squalicum
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: fifty four to thirty two, lost a really really close
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: when a Seahome thirty four to thirty one. That was
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: the first that Belling home doubleheader, and I tell you
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: that crowd was crazy.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: It was so big and loud and just boy, they
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: really brought it. It was awesome atmosphere. And Bellingham's only.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: School where they like dim the lights, you know, like
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: in wrestling how they had like the spotlight kind of.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: You talk about like what they used to do it
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: for the Lakers.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's not dark in the crowd,
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: but it's dimmer in the crowd.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it kind of gives a cool look.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Of alver at Bellam And that's what's fun is that
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: they're the only ones that do it, so it really
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: stands out when you're there.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody did that at a game I was at
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: this year for one of Bothels games, and initially I
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: was like whoa, Like, am I losing my mind here?
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Like are we actually like is it darker? And then
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: and then our principal came walking up and he goes, hey,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: He's like this is kind of cool, isn't it? And
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, okay, I am not losing my mind,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Like it is kind of cool.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's pretty fun that they did that. And
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: then they played another home game, so three home games
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: this week. They lost to Leconnor forty two to thirty
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: six on Saturday in the non conference game. It's it's
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: been a long year for Bellium, especially they're on a
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: losing streak right now. But I tell you what, I
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: just I really love the way they play and it's
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: been a great, great improvement. See them had a great
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: week beating Segar Woolly forty eight to forty two and
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: then beating Bellingham in that rivalry game thirty four to
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: thirty one. Crazy stat line into this one for Aspen Barge.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: We've been talking about her leading in blocks all year,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: and she had thirteen blocks in that game. And I
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: don't know if I've ever seen I think she had
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: like four of them in one kind of sinquence holy now.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: And it's just, you know.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: She's just really she's just really good.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: At not getting fouled or not fouling, but blocking, and
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: it's just she just has a way. And what's cool
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: is that I saw her at the game when Bellingham
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: played Squalk. I'm earned a lot of her teammates, you know,
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: came in and it's like, man, she just looked like
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: someone you didn't want to mess with them. And she's
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: six one, she's got a bandana on. She she means business.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: She's walking in with her with her posse. You know,
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: it's like, holy col Like that's Aspen Barged, Like she's
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: gonna mean business in a couple of days. And she
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: comes into that same gym two days later and blocks
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: thirteen shots.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Crazy so drive like Rick Vaughan, Yes, and so.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Uh so she's you know, she did some good things.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Kate Schroeder, Taylor Terrell, they had they had great games
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: as well, a really good week for Sea Home. Sadie
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: guf Sterston playing really good defense and kind of being
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: a kind of a lightning rod for that team and
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: as a guard, and it's just, you know, it's a
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: team that doesn't have any seniors and and had a
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: lot of new players this year, and so it's been
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: it's been a lot of fun to watch them.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Next up, we've got Nuksack Valley there nine and three
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: in league, twelve and six overall, Meridian eight and five,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: twelve and six, Squall Com eight and five, ten and seven,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: and then Ferndale they are seven and six, nine am nine. Tyler.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about these four.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a little back and forth here Ferndale lost to
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Meridian fifty.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: One to forty four.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: That was a pretty that was a good game, one
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: that I kind of thought this could just could really
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: come down to the wire.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: And it did.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, Meridian very very good. But Ferndale, Ferndale,
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: they they they they were close. Jilliat Fox I think
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: went like six fifteen for sixteen from the line that
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: game something like that. Uh, they were, they were fouling
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: her a lot, and because there's not really an answer
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: for her down lo she's just that kind of player.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: But she made her foul shots.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: And that was you know, that's the thing. I think
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: she's shooting about pretty good.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: She didn't know about She makes about two thirds of
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: her foul shots.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: But in that game she was, you know, way over
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: ninety percent, close to ninety five percent, so uh so
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: good good for her. But they just come up short
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: against the Trojans. They turned around and beat beat Blaine
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: fifty seven to twenty six in the next game. And
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: we're talking about crazy stat lines. Brooklyn Layrabie, I don't
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: even remember.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: How how many points she had.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: I think she had like seventeen points, but then she
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: had fourteen steals and then seven rebounds and seven assists,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Holy cow. And there's been times when she's she's gotten
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: close to triple doubles, quite quadruple doubles, and this was
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: one of those times. And so you know, there were
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: some weird stat lines that came out this week, stuff
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: that I've never seen and stuff that as I'm going
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: to be doing research, I will be able to have
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: school records for a lot of these things. And we're
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: talking fourteen steals in the game, thirteen blocks in the game.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: These could be school records.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: I just don't know yet. So a lot of fun there.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Squalicum Squalkum's kind of stayed hot beating Bellingham fifty two
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: to thirty four. They've they've been really big time on
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: a tear here doing some great things. But then they
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: lost in Nuksack Valley forty six to thirty five at home.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: They did not have Addison Kenton for that game when
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: and it made me kind of look back and go
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: because she missed a stretch in December and when they
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: weren't doing well. And I don't know the exact numbers,
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: but I think when she's in the lineup, their winning
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: percentage is like over eighty percent, and when she's not
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: in their lineup, the winning percentage is under twenty percent.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: So that tells you a lot right there.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: You know, you got a really gifted sophomore forward that
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: he was five ten and can do a lot of things,
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: and hopefully she'll be able to be back.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: And for the playoffs.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Meridian, like we said earlier, beating Ferndale fifty one to
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: forty four, but lost to Mount Vernon forty three to
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: thirty six, and kind of a surprise there. Mount Vernon
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: has a sub five hundred record.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: But they always play really close.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Games and they have some good young talent, So that
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: was that was kind of a tough one there. I
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: think they kind of went into that thinking they could
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: get that one. And they've been without Eaton Bernardi for
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: you know, a few weeks now after she had an
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: ankle injury. She's such a tough kid. Though hopefully she'll
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: be able to come back for the for the playoffs,
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: and it was up to her, she would play with crutches,
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: you know, like she just wants to get out there
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: and play, and that's you know that that says a
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: lot about her and drive and her competitive spirit. Knuckzack
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Valley had a great week, beating Anacordus fifty seven to
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: fifty two and then beating Squalic f Them forty six
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: to thirty five. I tell you what, there's there's great
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: pieces to that team that shows you, like, you know,
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: a lot of those players were kind of the like
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: the complementary pieces of the last two state championship teams,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: and now they're kind of taken over and the pieces
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: around them now are starting to kind of figure it out.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: And so and you get a really good coach and
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: you're nine and three in the conference. I mean, I
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: did I thought they'd be around five hundred this year,
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: to be honest, but it has been great to see
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: them not.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Fall off that much. So that's really really cool.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: So Knucksack Ballet had a big time week beating a.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Couple of league opponents. Last but not least, we've got
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: the three l's up here. Love Me Nation. They are
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: eleven and zero in Conference sixteen and three overall, h
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Lynn and Christian eleven and one in Conference sixteen and
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: three overall, and then Linden. They still are undefeated at
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: eleven to zero and at nineteen and zer overall.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Lemon Nation beating Providence Classical Christian fifty five to
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: twenty and then beating Tulila Parrotage sixty two to sixteen.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: And I doubleheader against Tulala Parrotage was awesome because so
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: many people filled that gym at that Lemon Nation really
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: really great to see. So that was that was great.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: And the girls finished the conference season undefeated, which is awesome.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: And and Jemma James when she hit a three pointer
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: with five seconds to go in the half in the
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: first half against Tulala Parroentage, that marked her one thousandth
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: career point. Really fun celebration there, and it happened right
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: before halftimes, so they were able to do a thing
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: at halftime or they presented her with a game ball
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: had a thousand points on it, got you know, pictures with.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Her dad, who's an assistant coach. And she's just a sophomore.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: That's how scary that is. That's a sophomore.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: Oh so, I mean most I mean, the percentage of
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: high school basketball players that reach a thousand points is
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: probably like five.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Percent and she's a sophomore. Yeah, so that's just it's
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: pretty it's pretty crazy. She's a lot of fun to watch.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: And she's a super athletic and can shoot and play defense.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: And she's very very willing passer too, so she's looking
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: to get other people involved. She's really good at driving
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: and then just kind of stopping short and then like
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: bounce passing it to someone who's in the lane there,
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: and it's like, man, you better beat have your head
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: on swivel because she's she will find you.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: So that was that was really really cool.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: And then and Linden Christian. You know, obviously they played
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: with each other. They took care of business earlier in
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: the week, Lynden beating Mount Baker seventy eight to twenty,
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Lynden Christian beating Okarver seventy to seventeen to kind of,
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: you know, get prepped for the big game on Saturday
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: afternoon out at Linden Christian. And it was what was
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: unique about that one was it was kind of the
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: first time in a long time in this matchup where
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Lynden was the taller team. It just seems like they
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: just haven't been over the years. Lynden Christian usually has
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: the height and Linden has you know, kind of the
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: speed and we'll run around a lot, and Linen Christian
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: because they don't have the size, they're gonna have to
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: rely on their outside shooting, which they are the best
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: at in the county, one of the best in the state.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: You know, we had four of the five top three
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: point shooters in the county on their own team. So,
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: but Linden just is so good defensively and they just
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: press and press and press. And what's fun too, is
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: that both teams play they have really deep benches and
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: so you saw so much subbing. You saw a lot
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: of huffing and puffing because they were giving it all.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: And you know, you pack that tiny gym with that
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: many people and it's gonna get warm in there, and
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: the band is loud, and you know, it's coaches versus
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Cancer Week, and there's a lot of pink in the crowd,
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: and the radios there and there's just so many people.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, there was like fifteen media members there. You know,
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: it was it was nuts. So that was a great,
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: great game. Linden takes sixty to thirty five, and it
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: was pretty close. I think it was like a five
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: point game late in the third, but then they just
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: kind of wore on them. Leaned on them, and I
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: think the fourth quarter Lyndon you know, outscored from fourteen
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: to two. And that's just what Linden does. I mean,
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: they can they can just swarm and they have the
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: size and there's not much of a weakness to them
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: at all. Lexi Hermonitz I think had like seven or
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: eight steals in the game. Keki York actually led them
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: in scoring that game might have been the first time
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: she's done that all year. She is the defensive stopper.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: You put her on the superstar player and they will
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: not do much and she doesn't get a lot of steals.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: She just holds that player from scoring, period. And so
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: you look at like the best defensive players this year,
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: you can see a lot of better numbers, but there's
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: not a better defensive player than Keky York. But she
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: really did some great things offensively. She had a shot
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: right before the half that was about from nineteen feet
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: out that she drained. It was awesome to turn around jumper.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: So there are some really good things there. Both teams
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: are going to make deep, deep runs, so just a
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: fun game to have. You know, there are different classifications,
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: so there's not a you know, There's not a huge
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: deal as far as going into districts or anything, but
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: so fun. They played this at the end of the
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: year and it was It was just an amazing game
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: by two great teams and great coaches and staffs and everything.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: So, Tyler, I was just curious about, you know, how
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: many what's the most points ever scored in our state's history,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: And the only thing I could find here was, in
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: no surprise, Hayley van Lyft. She passed. She became the
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: number one all time with like twenty eight hundred points.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: But there were still quite a few games left in
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: the season, so I don't know what she ended with,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: but just something that's crazy. So I'm like, oh, let's
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: see if she's got it on her Wikipedia page. I
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: look here. As a senior, van Lyft averaged thirty two
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: point six points, nine point four rebounds, and four point
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: eight assists while also grabbing four point two steals. That
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: is unbelievable. That's pretty dang good. I mean, that is
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: just absolutely unbelievable. Yeah, okay, that is a look at
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: the standings the weekly recap, I guess if you will.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about stat Leaders, Tyler, which are sponsored by
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Acceleration Driving School in London phone number three six zero
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: seven four six four five six seven. Yet gotta know
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: somebody that needs to learn how to drive. It might
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: not even be a high school student, could be an adult. Yeah,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: and there's a lot of snow going around, Tyler. So
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: now's it? Well, maybe a little late, probably should have
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: gone earlier. But again, Acceleration Driving School in Linden. Let's
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: start with points per game, Tyler. Yeah, fin departure of Lindon.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: It's down a little bit, not very much, twenty one
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: point three points per game. Elsie devised a good plan
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: to make sure she didn't, you know, do a ton
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: and then she's got eleven in that game. But that's
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: where other players stepped up Keicky York and Ryan Stefan
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: and them. So she leads right now, twenty one point
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: three points per game.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about rebounds per game.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Grace da Hooague still holding on to that thirteen
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: point seven. Now, this is the lowest it's been all year.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: She's been between fourteen and eighteen all year. But boy,
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: she is just a handful down low, and she's gonna
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: be one of those players that are gonna really depend
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: on come post season time, she's at thirteen point seven.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Right now, let's talk assist per game.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, still Lexi Robbins of squalk them five and a
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: half assists per game. And it doesn't surprise me at
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: all watching her live this week.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: It's just, man, she's just got that IQ.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: You know, she just knows. You know, it's not just
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: the passing, but it's passing that leads.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: To easy buckets.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: And that's the big difference right there. Yeah, you're gonna
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: fall into one where you kick it out and they
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: hit a three, that's great, But can you lead a
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: teammate to an easy bucket? And that's what she does
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: and that's what's really fun. On two steals per game, still,
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: Brooklyn Larrabee, with that big game, she's up to five
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: and a half steals per game.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: She's been right around five. Now.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: When you play close to twenty games and you have
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: one big game, it doesn't bring it up too much.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: It's like, you know, it's like when you're in August
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: when Edgar would go five for five in a game,
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: You're like, well, you know his batting average went up
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: four points because of it. You know, well, you have
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: a lot of at bat, So that's kind of what happens.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: So Brooklyn Larrabee separating herself now from a lot of
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: those elimination players with five point five steals per game?
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: How about blocks per game?
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Same thing here with Aspen Bard, she's been hanging right
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: it between one point nine two point.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Three somewhere in there.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: She has that huge game. Now she's up to three
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: point one blocks per game, putting up some victor win
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: by Yama numbers, and and she's not gonna let go
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: of that for a while, just to junior as well.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: So we're probably gonna see her a lot next year
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: on this list.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: I just saw that there was a big trade in
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: the NBA and it was wimben Yanna of getting some
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: other guy with him some was it Fox or something
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: like that, or I can't remember who it was, some
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: some guy that I'd never heard of. I'm I'm being
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: honest here, I don't know a lot about the NBA.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: But in the process Tyler zach Lavine Boffel's finest heading
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: over to the Sacramento Kings.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Well, he's been talked about for trades for like what
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: the last four years. Yeah, and it finally happened so
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: coming to the coming back to the West coast, and
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: and so that makes sense because probably Diaron Fox Aaron Fox,
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: I think that's what I think he was with Sacramento.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, it was a three team trade, right, so that
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: makes sense?
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: Okay, interesting?
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, I mean I looked at him, not gonna lie.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: That's what he needs. That's what when Benola needs is
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: a good point guard. That's been the whole that would work.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: Out really well.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I see that, you're I saw the the
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Luca for was it a d trade? And I was like, oh,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: I know, those two guys didn't know anybody else. I
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: got a better shot at knowing who the draft picks
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: are than I do with those other guys. And the
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: draft picks are still years away, Tyler. We are on
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: two field goal percentage.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the loan senior on this list, it's Alison Shoemde
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: of Linden Christian now at sixty four point six percent,
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: and that's super impressive because she, you know, she just
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: she put up great number. She had a she had
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: a big game where I think it was the Oak
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: Harbord Gamer. I think she was ten for eleven in
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: that game. So she really upped her percentage, and then
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: in the game against Lynden Christian Or against Lyndon, she
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: shot her first two to three point attempts of the
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: season and made them both. So she's not just an
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: inside threat they were giving her. They were giving her
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: a six foot cushion when she had the ball on
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: the perimeter, so she shot it twice and she made
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: them both. So she knows how to put the ball
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: in the hoop, that's for sure.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: Speaking of putting the ball in the hoop, three point percentage.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Daniel Dikster is still right below fifty percent, forty
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: nine point two percent, thirty two of sixty five on
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: the season.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: I don't you know that is tough.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: I I challenge a lot of high school athletes just
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: just to just take sixty five shots with nobody on
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: you from three point land, from all over the perimeter,
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: and see if you can make thirty two of them.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: That'd be really tough. She's doing it in games where
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: there's players on her all the time, so really really impressive.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: I can't even do that in NBA video games on
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: the easy mode. Tyler.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I'm telling you it's tough.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what of all the sport video games,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: I've always thought basketball was the hardest one because you
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: got to get it like dead on in your shooting.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: I mean everybody shoots differently. Yes, that's the other one
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: that's super hard. Different releases. Yeah, yeah, like in baseball,
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: they all have different swings, but it's all relatively like
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: close enough that. Yeah, timing is yeah, timing is not bad.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: But in basketball, oh crap man, that's.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: Pitching and like MLV the show, yeah is tough with
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: like with like Yusai Kakuchi. Yeah, it would that meter
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: would go forever because he's got the long Japanese wind up.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: You know. It's like you almost want to like walk
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: a guy so then he can pitch out of the
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: stretch so it goes faster.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Or like when you bring in a closer and
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: he's one hundred percent out of the stretch and all
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: of a sudden you're like, oh wow, that was fast. Yeah,
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: it's like whoa, I gotta get used to that. I
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: gotta get used to that. And then you know, you
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: being the first two guys and you're like, great, now
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: I'm in a really bad spot here, let's finish it off.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: Tyler free throw percentage.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: Still fin departure, going three for three this week. Now
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: at eighty one percent on the season, there is no
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: hole to her game.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing that's crazy too about it, Tyler. Eighty
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: one percent is like, like it it obviously it sounds good,
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: but it doesn't actually sound as good as fifty one
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: out of sixty three, you know what I mean. Like,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: you say fifty one out of sixty three, it's like whoa,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: Like yeah, and then you say the number nineteen percent
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: You're like, okay, or nineteen percent misses, you know what
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: I mean. It's like, it's still really good, but fifty
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: one out of sixty three that is wow. That is
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: truly wild. I was at a basketball game the other night.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: I don't even know if if they hit those the
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: nineteen misses, you know what I mean, total between the
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: two teams. It was unbelievab. I mean, it really blew
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: me away how poor the free throw shooting was in
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: this game I was at. It was yeah, really almost
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: like made me want to pull my hair out. And
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: I was even coaching. All right, that is it for
• 45:14

• 46:05
  Speaker 1: satisfied customers. Sorry, let's talk. Let's go around the county, Tyler.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: And let's start with Mount Baker three and ten in
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: Conference eight and ten overall. See Home also three and
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: ten in Conference five and thirteen overall, and then Blaine
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: oh and thirteen in Conference and three and fifteen overall.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Blaine's really struggle this year. But they they're kind
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: of up and down with the with these games. I mean,
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: they lost a lake with seventy five thirty nine Lakewood.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: They're pretty they're pretty fun to watch. They're like if
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: you just wanted to watch just exciting basketball. They're a
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: really fun team to watch. But then they lost to
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: Ferndale by just three fifty eight to fifty five in
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: a really close game at home. Uh it could be
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: just a home and away thing because that game was
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: away at Lakewood, but they played Ferndale really tough at home.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: They had they were they had a lead, I believe
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. I mean it was it was
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: fun to see. They also, out of all the teams
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: that Linn Boys have played this year, and they played
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: some really good teams, they go down to Yakmap during
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: you know, during the Christmas break and the most points
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: put on them all year was blamed had all the teams.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: So it's really you know, they've been doing some good
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: things and they are in their head in the right direction.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Just the record is not showing it right now. See
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: Home lost the Seige of Reuly seventy seven to fifty six,
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: then turn around and beat Bellingham fifty four to fifty one,
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: and what can be considered an upset there, but it's
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: always it's always tough to say upset when it's a
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: rivalry game.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: You just just never never know.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: The crowd was crazy and that in that game, belling
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: Am had the lead. But I tell you what, Nolan
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: right in the fourth quarter, he just he just turned
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: into superman. And you think he scored nine points in
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: the final quarter there and did some just amazing things.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: There was also a basket with like a minute and
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: a half to go in that game, and it was
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: really close where you know, seehom had the ball kind
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: of top of the key a little bit but inside
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: the the three point line, and they look to pass
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: it inside, and they passed it inside and Evan Eisley
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: of Bellingham put his hand up there to deflect it
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: and it ball went straight up in the air and
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: switched right through the net. And it's just like, are
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: you kidding me? It was like it was kind of
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: like one of those kind of nights for Bellium. It
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: just did the ball was is not bouncing the right
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: way for them. So there was there was some interesting
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: things that actually that might have happened in the Squalic
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: Belliam game. There was a lot of rivalry games this week,
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: but see them getting to win their fifty four to
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: fifty one is huge for them.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: They've beaten some good teams, They've beat.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: Meridian earlier in the year, and and so it's it's
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: pretty interesting that when you look at their record, you
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: go okay, but then they they just don't have a
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: lot of size, but they have a lot of heart.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: Mount Baker lost a tough one at Lindon sixty nine
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: to thirty one. They were without two of their top players,
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: Carter Hill and kel Reardon, and but both players came
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: back the next week to play against Lakewood. But lake
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: would just ran up and down the court on him.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: But Baker had a lead after one quarter play and
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: still lost seventy nine to forty. So lake would really
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: put it on them, especially in the second half where
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: I think they only allowed, you know, single digit points
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: from Mount Baker in the entire second half.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: The Cougars really really put it on them there. Let's
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: talk about Ferndale seven and six, nine and nine overall,
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: Bellingham six and seven, eight and ten overall, Nuksack Valley
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: five and eight, nine and eight, overall, and Squalicum five
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: and eight eight and at nine overall Tyler.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: Squalicum is peaking at the right time. And it's crazy
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: because you look at them and they're only suiting up
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: seven or eight guys because of injuries and different circumstances
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: stuff stuff like that, and it's in sickness and and
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: they are they're just beating good teams that are ahead
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: of them in the Northwest Conference, and they're moving up
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: slowly a little bit by it by a little bit,
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: beating Bellingham sixty five to fifty six in a game
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: where you know, I was a little bit surprised that
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: that happened. Bellingham was without Kinkaid van van Newton, who
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: is the six foot six senior that could that's top
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: five and rebounds, free throw percentage of scores about sixteen
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: a game. So you miss a player like that, that's
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: really really tough. They were able to get him back
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: for the Sea home game, but he was still you
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: could tell he was definitely not one hundred percent. I
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: think he only scored two points in that game, so
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: very very different Kinkaid van Hooton.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: Then we're used to as.
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: Squalicum beating Belly and then beating Nuxack Valley a few
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: days later. That was cool to see Marcus Nixon and
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: Brady Ackerman on the court together. They'll be playing on
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: the football field together next year on the red turf
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: out there, so that's a pretty cool deal to see there.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: But Squalkam is just they're just playing the right kind
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: of ball at the right time right now, and they
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: are they are set perfectly to upset some teams in
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: the district tournament. I don't know if they can make
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: it a state, but they're gonna make things really interesting
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: for some teams that are scheduled like that are like
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: a few notches ahead of them. Nuksack Valley beating in
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: a cord of sixty one to fifty five in overtime.
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: That was a crazy game because I could I tell
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: you I thought for sure, I mean, you know, Knooksack Valley,
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: they were just down in that one. They weren't shooting
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: it well, and it was crazy. It was just weird
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: to see because they just kind of kept hanging in there,
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: kept hanging in there, and then Cad and Houghton went
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: off in the fourth and they go into overtime. They
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: Knuksac Valley scored more points in that overtime period that
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: they did in any of the other quarters. That's really
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: hard to do. You only play four minutes in overtime
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: and you play eight minutes in the other one.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: So that's I mean, that shows.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: You that they were peaking kind of right then, and
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: then they just exploded in overtime and cad and Hughton
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: had a huge game and hit a couple of NBA
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: threes in that overime, and he was the one they
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: went to down down the stretch to hit the free throws,
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: and they pulled that one out, but they did drop
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: that game to squally them at home. I tell you,
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: Corey Only has really been playing well late lately. I
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: think he's got a lot more confidence in his shooting.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: He's always been a pretty decent shooter, he just doesn't
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: he just doesn't pull a trigger. He's such a team
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: friendly guy and likes to pass and plays good plays
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: good defense. But he's been shooting it a lot more recently,
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: and he's been in double figures last three or four games.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: So that's that's good to see.
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: The need they need another option. You know, you got
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: Cayden hugh Tink on the outside and you got Brady
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: Ackerman down low. You know, Tristan Campus can do some
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: things every once in a while, but Corey only showing
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: that he can be another weapon of that offense, which
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: is what they need right now. They did drop that
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: game to Squalicum though Bellingham it was a rough week,
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: losing to both cities schools.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: Joe Harvard had a huge week.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: He had thirty one against Squalicum and then I think
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: twenty one and fifteen in the game against Seaholmes. So
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: he's putting up big, big numbers, and he's just one
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: of those athletes that you know, he's just so athletic,
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: but he's kind of like a it's kind of like
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: a wild stallion if he will if you give me
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: a little bill and ted there. But he's he's just
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: so hurky jerky, and it's hard to defend that kind
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: of play because you just kind of never really know
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: what he's what he's gonna do.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: But he's so.
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: Athletic, and he just can drive to the rack and
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: and he can finish and and so he can put
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: up the mays of major points and Harmon Winkers can
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: knock down outside shots. It just wasn't enough against these
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: two city schools. They drop a couple more games, Ferndale
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: losing to Meridian. That one wasn't as close as I
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: thought it was.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: Going to be.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: Meridian really played well, especially at Ferndale where the Golden
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: Eagles always seem to win. I mean, they've got like
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: a winning percentage of above eighty percent at home this year.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: But Meridian comes into town and does really, really well.
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: I don't even think Ferndale had anyone scoring double digits
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: in that game. And then Ferndale comes back and beats
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: a really really hungry Blaine team by three. Montage Sing
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: goes off for twenty points in that one. He's really
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: starting to elevate his game and play really well. And
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: Jonah Berlowski, who gave us the intro, He's hard to
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: handle man six five, six foot six, can shoot and
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: long arms and block shots and play defense. He's a
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: lot of fun to see.
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: Tayler, do you think we just s flip these last
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: four into two?
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: Sure?
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's go with lemon Ations seven and one, sixteen
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: and three overall and Meridian eight and five, twelve and
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: six overall.
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: Well, Meridian had a great week once again beating Ferndale
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: fifty two to thirty nine, and then beating Mount Vernon
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: seventy two to fifty five. Talon Jenkins is really starting
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: to you know, I mean he's always been great, but
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: he's his numbers are just like the last.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: Three weeks or so, he's really elevated.
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: He's probably in the last three weeks he's probably averaging
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: about twenty three to twenty four a game, and he's
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: a rebounding machine. He's got a ton of double doubles.
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: Might have the most in the county. That reminds me
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: because I got a message some earlier asking who has
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: the most double doubles for boys basketball this year in
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: the county and I said, I'll get right on that,
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: and of course I haven't, so this is a good
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: reminder for me. But it could be it could be
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: Talon Jenkins. I would not be surprised at all, and
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: you know and that, but in that Mount Vernon game,
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: what was so cool about that is, you know, Talon
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: Jenkins and Jager Fife always seemed to put up big
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: numbers and they always need that third guy. It's usually
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: James head All that can average around No. Ten or
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: eleven points. But Pierce Berezowski went off for nineteen points
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: against Mount Vernon, and that's huge because he's the guy
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: with the ball in his hands a lot, playing a
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: lot of point guard. Just a sophomore, really good athlete.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: You know, bat's lead off on the baseball team and
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: play shortstop and I think he's gonna be the catcher
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: going forward, and you know, kind of emergency quarterback, safety
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: receiver type. Guy that missed a lot of the football season,
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: but it's been fun to watch his development. And he
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: just went off for nineteen points, So that's that's huge
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: to see. I love it when these guys kind of
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: have that breakout game. Gives them a little bit more
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: confidence which they can use going into the postseason and elimination.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: Beating Providence Classical Christian seventy one to thirty two, and
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: then beating Tulila Parrotage sixty nine to sixty three. Again
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: Tulila Parrotage number one ranked team in the state, undefeated
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: on the year, and there's a big reason why. Man,
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: they are awesome. They had You don't see a lot
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: of you know, one B schools with guys on a
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: breakaway that just throw up.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: Like a like a.
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: Windmill there not it wasn't a windmill dunk, but it
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: was like a It reminded me of like the old
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: uh uh man. It's like when you just caught it back.
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: And I was a lot like what Sean Kemp.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: Used to do with with with like what but like tomahawk,
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: Like yeah, yeah, tomahawk done. And uh, there was a
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: there was a guy that did that.
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: I was like, holy cow with the left hand and
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: and they are just really athletic. But lem Nation Jerome Toby,
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: my goodness, man, that guy is just he's so his
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: body control is crazy. I don't know how he does
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: a lot of the stuff he does because they.
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: Look kind of daring.
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: But that but then when he lets go of the ball,
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: it's like it goes exactly where he wants it to go.
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: And when his outside shot is going as well, uh,
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: that's really scary.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: Landon la Fontaine is a really good outside shooter.
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: His shot was on.
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: Dyson Edwards is an extraordinary athlete and his game was
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: a little bit off in that one, which showed me
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: a lot because other guys were able to step up
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: and do some good things. Carson Reevey went in double
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: digits for like the second time this year. He had
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: a big game on Senior Night as one of the
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: seniors on that team. DeAndre James is a double double machine.
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: He might be the leader in double doubles.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: So that was great to.
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: See them do that, you know, revenge from the game
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: earlier in the year that they lost down there, and
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: it almost looked like it was gonna happen again because
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: you know, the Hawks were coming back at the end
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: of that one, but they were able to fend them off,
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: which was great.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a.
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: Tremendous atmosphere Friday night. Unbelievable, it was. It was really
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: really cool. Let me nation is they're looking like they're
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: peaking at just the right time, and they were still
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: they were still out a guy in that in that
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: final game. I didn't see Tracy Powell out there for
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: the last few games. Really good backup center. It's about
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: six foot four, which at the one B level is huge,
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: and he's left handed, so he kind of get you know,
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: it kind of.
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: Gives us a look that you're not used to.
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: So I think if they especially if they can get
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: Tracy Powell back, I think they could finish really strong
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: and play in the March.
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned too. That was the uh
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: that too, Laila Heritage game. They that was the one
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: that they got them before, you know. And yeah, I
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: think we were all maybe like we knew too Leila
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: Perriage Heritage was good, but we had also kind of,
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of felt good about about Lummy and
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: so you kind of go, wow, maybe those guys are
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: the are the ones there? And then boom, lem me
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: get them this time. So I'm sure they will find
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: a way to play again.
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: And yeah, you know those two teams are I mean,
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: they both like they I let me put it to
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: you this way. I'm sure there's maybe a team that's
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: in the conversation as well, or a couple of teams.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: I got a hard time seeing there's teams at the
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: one B level that are as good as those two.
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, my goodness, uh, Tyler. We finish it off
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: with Linden and lynnon Christian the Lions thirteen and oh.
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: Now on the season nineteen and oh overall Lynn and
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: Christian they moved to twelve and one seventeen and two overall.
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: Now they both had games earlier in the week. But yeah,
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think we're all looking forward to the
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: to the real big one on Saturday Night. Huh Yeah.
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: Lynnen defeating Mount Baker sixty nine to thirty one, a
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: little bit of prep in that one, getting ready for
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: their big game on Saturday, and then Saturday night and
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: then Linden Christian beating Oak Harbor ninety three to fifty two.
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: What was really unique about that game was they were
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: missing two starters. Wow, and they still scored ninety three points.
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: That's pretty crazy, and I think there's some sickness going
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: around with with the links. Gunner Daikstra and Luke Van Coten,
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: a couple guys that shoot over forty percent from threes
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: and a couple guys that are averaging double figures. They
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: were both out for that Oak Carver game. They played
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: in that that big game against Lyndon, but neither of
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: them scored. And I think they're still still not feeling great.
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: But the Linden defense, that's a big reason why Lyndon
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: jumped out to a pretty good lead early on. And
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: I don't think Elsie's scored until about three forty five
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: in the first You're talking about a team that averages
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: eighty five points game, yeah eighty five that didn't score,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: but then score a point until halfway through the first quarter,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: more than halfway through the first quarter.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: So that tells you a lot about.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: Linden's defense, especially their size inside. I mean Linden starts,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: you know, Jack Stapleton sixt' seven, Bran Hepner six to six,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: Ty Jorgenson six ' four, but plays like he's seven
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: feet uh. Spencer Adams is six ' five sixty four
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: and he's a guard. So you start some big time
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: tall guys and it's just really hard to get down
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: low and do some things. So they were having to
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: rely on a lot of outside shots. Here's the crazy
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: thing about this game. Els had only three different guys
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: score the entire game.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: Holy cow.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I've seen that locally in high
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: school basketball now they played, you know, nine guys or whatever.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: Only three different guys scored. Gannon Dykstra you know, and
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: had a big game. I think he was in high
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: high twenties, as it usually is. And Dawson Hintz did
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: some great things. I mean he showed the athleticism is
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: just off the charts with him. I think he had
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: like twenty five points he.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: Hits a lot of deep threes.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: He had five of them, and you have to and
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: it's hard because you don't want to come out on
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: him because he can blow by you. So he's gotten
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: used to hitting that shot, and he can. He'll take
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: him and he'll and he'll he'll nail him. And he
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: kind of kept him in the game because that. And
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: of course Caden Veldman got his points and rebounds and
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: and you know, his high percentage shots and he did that.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: Those are the only three guys that scored, and that
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: was that was that told me a lot about like
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: I said, with Lennon's defense, Brent Hepner had another big
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: game I think seventeen and fourteen. Uh, but the Jack
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: Stapletons and Tyd Jorgensen's and you know, Spencer Adams of
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: Malachi Canan hit four three pointers. I think he had
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: thirteen points in that game. That was huge too. Gordy
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: Badlington with another five.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: Or six assists.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: It's it's crazy because if you know, if you had
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: asked me, I mean, you know, the radio did ask
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: me went before the game, Who's who's gonna win it?
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: And I said, well, I you know, I kind of
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: have to lean towards LC. I didn't know about the
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: sickness with those two guys, but I you know, I
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: just kind of thought Linden's had a lot of kind
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: of close games. They've had a few close calls. They've
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: won every game but Lyndon Christian. Other than that lost Arlington,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: they haven't really had a close call. You know, they
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: just they just blow everybody out. And you know, these
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: two teams are playing a lot of the same teams here,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: so I was a little bit surprised by it. But man,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: you just don't count out the Linden Lions. You know,
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: they're like that, They're they're like the Chiefs right now.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: You know, it's just until they get knocked off. They
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: have a lot of close games, but until they get
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: knocked off, you can't can't deny them. And and Brent
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: Heppner is something that we're just not going to see
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: very often. I mean, going for his fourth state title
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: in basketball, I don't.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: That's just I mean, I don't know.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that's happened in basketball and in
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, and I know it hasn't happened in Walkam County.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's happened in the state maybe as
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know, you would know better than I.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: But it's it's really unique thing.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: And I think coming into this year a lot of
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: people were like, well, this one's gonna be tough.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: Because you lost a lot. You lost your all time
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: leading score.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, three time state like tournament player, MVP and with
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: Anthony Canalis and so.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: A lot's put on Hettner's shoulders.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: And there's only two SoRs on the team, and you're
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: starting two sophomores, and and look at them now, they're
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: nineteen to zero and it is just they're so fun
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: to watch. And Lennon Christian, Yeah, they lost that one,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: but if they get fully healthy in and that sickness
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: passes through everybody and they're they're back on track, Uh,
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: they're gonna be pretty good.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: They He also suited up a.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: Sophomore who come up from the JV, James Voss, who's
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: six foot eight, so you know that you have some
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: hyke coming.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: It's just, uh, you know, they're just gonna have to
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: wait a little bit for it.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: But yeah, just it was another great atmosphere.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: Again.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: They did the Hall of Fame induction at halftime. Derrek
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: Croft who we both know got inducted. H So a
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: really really cool deal there. I mean, he is Lindon icon.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: You know, he averaged I think twenty five points a
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: game his senior year and and did some great things
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: at the college level and and and and it was
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: a three sport guy, All State in all three sports
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: and you know, shortstop and.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: As a safety.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: And yeah, so that was cool to see him back
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: in the gym and you know getting you know, inducted
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: with Missy vander Yacht and Bob Young and Bob Bob
• 1:04:32

• 1:04:35

• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: cool deals and they do it the right way and
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: and uh nearly four thousand people in attendance.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: Is it's crazy.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: I you know, I if you have NFHS, I say
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: go back and watch it on demand and just see
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: what it looked like seconds after the game on the
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: floor with just all this massive humanity stay around. It
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: is just really really cool deal and what a game.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: And it always lives up to hype. You know, Linden
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: was up pretty big. Linden Christian hung around. They were
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: only down by like four, like halfway through the fourth,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: but Lynden pulled away at the end and one by ten,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: and congratulations to the Lions.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: That is it for a look around the county. Yeah again,

• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: Still Gann and Dykeshra Linden Christian holding off Bran Hepner
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: right now. Really cool to see them go at it again.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: And Dykstra now at twenty four point four points per
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: game assist an insane average. Rebounds per game still Caden
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: Veldman of Linden Christian, the big sophomore nine point seven.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: Assists per game. Jerome Toby a lumination.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: He's being pushed by Gannon Dyksher, which is saying a
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: lot to lead in scoring Antaesis. But Jerome Toby is
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: just he just I don't know, he sees everything so well.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: Six point seven assists per game. He's pretty good at
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: stealing the ball too, Haun Tyler.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's still he's still at least one steal ahead
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: of Marcus Nixon right now, he's at three point nine
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: on the year, and and uh yeah, he's he's just
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: like a spider monkey out there.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: Man, he just gets everything. It's so fun to watch.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: Another familiar name here block per game. Caden Veldman's still
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: at leading now now at two point three. Kind of
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: uped it a little bit.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: Uh, he's been well, he's been between two and two
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: and a half all all season, so and he's going
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: to against guys taller than him a lot of the time,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: and so that really shows his his athleticism and his timing.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: And he leads in field goal percentage too.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, still holding off Brady Ackerman is sixty eight percent
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: right now, one hundred and two out of one hundred
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: and fifty high percentage shots. He has taken ten threes
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: and he's made three of them, which is pretty impressive
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: We got an old name, but a new name for
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: this category, well, a new name for this category this week.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: Three point percentage Tyler.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's back to Lyndon's Brent Hepner, who is
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: now at forty four percent. He's forty of ninety one,
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: which is just crazy when you look at a guy who's,
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: you know, basically playing center and then and you spot
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: up and hit a three and it's just a sweet
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: looking shot. I mean, it's a pure looking shot. It's
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: so smooth and really hard to block as well. Brand Novitzky, Yeah,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: that's a great, great comparison on his offensive game.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: Free throw percentage, Tyler, We've got one man who he
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: returns from last week, still leading, and then somehow we
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: actually have a tie because there's a new name in here.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: Absolutely and if you look at the numbers, it's the
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: exact same percentage, just twice as many shots.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: That was the first thing I did when I saw
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: that it was a tie. I went, he's literally exactly
• 1:08:04

  Speaker 2: Of Meridi in the six foot seven senior forward, he's
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: a he's also eighty five point four percent, but he's
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: seventy of eighty two, So that's a really really impressive number.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: We're getting down to the end of the Raguars season.

  Speaker 2: Toughest weeks I had on boys and girls and for girls.

  Speaker 2: I mean when I saw that statline Brooklyn Larrabie had
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: with like the eighteen points, fourteen steels, seven rebounds and seven.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: Assists in the game, I was like, Holy cow.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: And I saw the thirteen blocks that Aspen Barge had,
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: I was like, are you kidding me? But when I
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: looked at the whole week in its total, in its entirety,
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: and of course the players that Lyn and Lynn and
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: Christian going up against each other, and Jim and James

• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: week as a possible.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: Player of the Week.

  Speaker 2: And what she did this week, you know, picking up
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: the two wins and keeping that team more than relevant,
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: keeping that team as one of the top teams in
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: the conference, has really been impressive. She had ann outstanding
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: week this.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: Week and a couple more double doubles.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: I think she went ten to twelve from the foul
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: line in that game against That was at Squala, comeing
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: against a really good team. So Grace Dehoague, the Knuksack
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: Valley junior, is your Anytime Fitness Girls Basketball Player of
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: the Week.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: How about the Anytime Fitness Boys Basketball Player of the Week.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: Well, it was the same deal. I mean, you had
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: Hepner against Diykester. Both those guys have wanted a couple times.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: Talon Jenkins won it last week and he may have
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: had just as good a week this week. Uh you
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: know you're looking around. Joe Harvard put up outrageous numbers,
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: but they lost both games. Uh yeah, I mean it was.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: It was incredible. Nolan Wright had, you know, willed his
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: team to victory in that in that in that second.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: Game of the week.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: But Marcus Nixon of Squalkum, uh, he's just now starting
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: to get healthy from from being.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: Sick and one and one.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: You know, he was one of the guys that at
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: the very end of the football season, half the team
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: was sick. They had to drop their week their week
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: ten game. Yeah, and he's played in all the games.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: I think he missed one. But it's like he's now
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: starting to get one hundred percent and holy cow, he's
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: a difference maker. He's a he's very very close to
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: a triple double every week and you throw another three
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: blocks or something like that, and he's just a different guy.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: Like there are moments when you can see where it's
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: spread out and he has the ball and you're watching
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: the game and you go, oh, he's just gonna drive
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: and score because you're looking at it through like his
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: view almost and he's so fast with the ball, is
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: so explosive, and all of a sudden, he just like
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: takes two steps and jumps up and lays it in
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: and you're like, he makes it look so easy. He's
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: just so athletic. So Marcus Nixon's Squalicum. He had a
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: huge week, picking up two wins against teams that were
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: ahead of them in the standings. Big, big week for

  Speaker 1: We finish it off with the games to watch the
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: intriguing games if you will this week. And I see
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: here you got Wednesday and Friday and you've got a
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: couple of boys and girls double headers.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I love these doubleheaders. I mean usually I
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: have to go out to a boys game and a
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: girls game each night to try to get a picture
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: if unless you know, one of my interns can help
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: me out. And so what's nice about these is that
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: I can just go to one place. I'm gone a
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: little longer, but.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: I don't have to drive as much, which is nice.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: So and you know, again shout out to Mikayla and
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: she's been so great helping, you know, with pictures and
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: and all all basketball season. A J. Bennett has come
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: on and done a great job. It goes to all
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: sorts of events getting pictures. But there's been also there's
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: been other people that have really helped me out. Colin
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: Davis from Blaine, He's been taking some pictures for me
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: every once in a while. Penelope Durius from the volleyball
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: team from Squalkum, she helped me out this past weekend
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: take taking pictures. So I love it when when I
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: can get, especially these students to help me out and
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: I can kind of pump them a little bit and
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: tag them on these and give them photo credit to
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: kind of up them a little bit.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: That's a huge trade for me.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: So thank you so much to those to those individuals.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: And if you want to take pictures for walking preps,
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: by all means, get a hold of me and I
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: will definitely use you because the more I can, you know,
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: work on stuff in the office every once in a while.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: It's a really helpful thing. But like you always say, Ryland,
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: you gotta show face. You gotta get out there, and
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: I do get out there, but if I don't, if
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: I can be at one game instead of two, in
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: a night that'd be nice. But we got a couple
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: of great doubleheaders Wednesday another it's the city rivalry game
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: at Sea Home and Squalicum at Squalicum Girls boys doubleheader
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: girls game starts at five point forty five. I think
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: thinks this is gonna be really really cool. See them
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: and Squalicum played each other earlier in the year girls
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: girls wise, and I believe that game went. I'm trying
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: to remember if that went into overtime or not.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: I think it did. So that was a non.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: Conference game earlier on in the year, and they'd play
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: each other in the jamboree at These two teams know
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: each other very well, and they're both very young teams.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: You're gonna see a lot of these same athletes go
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: against each other. And then on Friday, you know, for
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: the next few years, then on Friday, kind of the
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: same deal, Bellingham at Meridian.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: What's fun about this is you got a.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: Two teams that can really put up points on the
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: boys side, especially, so that's gonna be really really fun.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: Hopefully Van van Hooton will be one hundred percent by then,
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: because I think him and Tallon Jenkins matchup extremely well.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: You got a couple of guys that are, you know,
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: very very tall, the tallest kids on each team, but
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: they play like guards. So that's gonna be really fun
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: to watch that matchup. And then maybe Jager Fife against
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: Joe Joe Harward is gonna be awesome as well. And
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: then on the girls, you know, the girls side, that
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: will be the first game that starts at five to
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: forty eight. The games are at Meridian High School, and
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: again Bellingham is extremely spirited, Malia Hanks is great, Merret
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: Jensen down low, Mary Lockhart is starting to lead the
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: team in scoring each game, and Jenny Ruano is a
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: really good point guard. But you're gonna be going against
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: this Meridian team that's they just they just fly around,
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: they communicate so well. Kinsley Neil is a knockdown shooter,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: Brooklyn Fuller is just a demon with the basketball. Uh
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: maybe maybe Eaton Bernardi be back by then. Sophia Brooks
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: has really been playing well the senior recently, and and
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: Melanie Short She's she's leading the team of scoring in
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: just a freshman. So fun games to watch this week.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: Hope to see a lot of those people out there.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: Tyler. One thing before we get out of here. It's
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: never too early to start talking baseball. Yeah, I got
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: a little I got a little crazy stat for you here. Okay,
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: of course you do. Buster Posey Joe Mauer two of
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: the better catchers that we've seen in the last, say,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: you know, twenty twenty five years. I think you would agree, Yes, definitely.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: Seventeen thousand and seventy five career innings at catcher combined
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: between those two. Okay, yeah, Yadier Molina eighteen two hundred
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: and ninety four just himself. I kind of.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: Figured you were going that was something like that with that,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: but holy caah, that's crazy.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: It's crazy.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: You know, Mauer played the little first base and d
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: h probably a lot, and he was hurt quite a bit,
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: and so is Posey, and.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, well you're talking, you know, ours in the
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. Now, Posey's heading that way. He will
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: he'll be there, and but yadi are will he be there?
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: Come on? I mean, he's gotta be He's got to
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: be there.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: His offensive numbers are not great, but it's a lot
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: like another former cardinal, Ozzie Smith, who did not very
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: great great offensive numbers, and I.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: Think his nickname was for what he did on defense,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: I mean exactly exactly so.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: And I don't see Yaddi or Molina doing any backflips
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: heading out to the behind the plate.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know that he could do one off of
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: a trampoline. He's a thick dude. Yeah, I mean he
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: didn't move all that well, but no. Look throws the
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: first though, yeah, I mean those are just well and
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: he threw strikes the second. I mean he just did.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: When you think of the greatest defensive catchers of all time, like.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: Well, there's generational guys, right, there's Johnny Bench, then there's
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: and then there's YadA A. Molina, I mean those gout.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: To me like YadA Molina. It would be hard. And
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: I understand. And I was a big Pudge fan, like
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: you know, I was a big Pudge fan. But I
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: think he is. I think he might be. I think
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: you could make a case that he is the greatest
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: defensive catcher of all time. I mean, he was unbelievable
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: and it's absolutely And it's a different game too, and
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: you know, guys aren't stealing as many bases, but they're
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: the guys are faster now, you know, and everything the
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: game is I think a little more precise now where
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: you can't have a catcher that was, you know, playing
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: back there, like Bob Uker, you know what I mean,
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: Like you can't have those guys anymore. You have to
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: have really good defensive catchers now. Even if you know
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: it's it's actually interesting because it's almost one of those
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: things now where you know, the offensive side of the
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: game is obviously, you know, it's about home runs and stuff,
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: and so you get these guys that can hit them dongs,
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: but it's almost more like, well how does he receive?
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: You know, can can? I mean look at a Oh,
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: who's the guy in Kansas City, the big guy you know, Perez? Yeah,
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: Salvador Perez. Yeah, he led the league in home runs
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: I believe one year a couple of years ago. But
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: he's not like the greatest hitting catcher, but man is
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: he good behind the plate? Yep, you know and Yadi
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: or Malina My goodness. Like he's one of those guys
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: that I never disliked. I never really liked, you know
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: what I mean, Like he wasn't one of my favorites
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: or anything, but every night there was something where you
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: just went, holy crap, like how did he was always there. Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: You know. The other thing that was always funny about
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: him too, is he was a he was a Air
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: Jordan guy for a long time. He had he had
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: the Air Jordan ketcher's gear if you remember that, which
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: I always thought was hilarious, you know, just like when
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: you see there's teams now, there's high school teams now
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: that have Air Jordan football stuff. Yeah, and it always
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: cracks me up whenever, you know, you walk out there
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: on the field and you see the Air Jordan logo,
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: because it's like, can't you at least put a football
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: in his hand, you know, I mean, yeah, come on,
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: football helmet on them like a yeah, I mean that's
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: the way to go. Really yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's the
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: stomach that gets me the most. But I know, I.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: Wasn't gonna say anything, but it's pretty funny.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: I'm a fat guy. I mean, I can't hide it.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: I mean I can. He's gotta be the right angle, right, Yeah, exactly,
