• 2:01
  Speaker 1: hear it from the fans. I don't recall hearing it
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: really that much this past week. You know, and heck,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: you know, do it, get out, get paid. It's awesome.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: So think about it. So we have ten games to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: talk about, of course, covering eleven teams now adding lemonation
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: into the mix. So still learning about that squad and
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: kind of what they're all about jumped into basketball boys
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: and girls last year and that was a heck of
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: a ride, jumping into football this year, and so adding
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: a little bit more content, but it's fun and writing
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: more stories now. So stories are all up, if you
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: want to read about them, we're gonna go through them.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: We're gonna start off with the Friday night game that
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: started at six o'clock over at Port Angelis. There was
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Mount Baker taking on the Port Angelus rough Riders. Mount
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Baker winning forty seven to twelve in that one. And
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: we're gonna look over the stats really quickly. Mount Baker
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: ran for two hundred and fifty four yards, passed for
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty two and poor Angels ran the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: ball thirty three times, only able to get up eighty
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: one yards out of it. They threw the ball twenty
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: five times, three of them were intercepted one hundred and
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: sixty one passing yards. Leading the way on the ground
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: for Mount Baker was Camden Moa, who had six carries
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: for one hundred and three yards. Bryce Cooper had eleven
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: carries for seventy nine yards. Noah Nicole Mills six carries
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: for fifty seven yards. Those were the three main ground
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: gainers there. Toga Tigelau completed nine of fourteen passes for
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty two yards. He also threw a
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: couple touchdowns, ran in a touchdown. I was really impressed
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: with him, and we talked about jet Ross earlier in
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the show. Jet Ross had six catches for one hundred
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and six yards two touchdowns. Kel Reardon, from his new
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: tight end spot, had one catch for eighteen yards. Zion
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Paglia and Bryce Cooper each had a reception as well.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Looking back at that game, pretty even in the beginning,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Camden moa eleven yard touchdown run to get things going.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: A knock Smith with the extra point. Glad to see
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the knock back and healthy. Uh. I didn't know if
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: he was going to miss week one. He was good
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: to go, so that was awesome to see. Kicked really well.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Port Angels comes back. There was a thirty four yard
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: touchdown pass UH. The kick is blocked, however by kel Reard,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: and so Mount Baker held a seven to six lead,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: and then this was nearing the end. It was seven
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: to six for most of the first half and then
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: right in the last couple minutes, UH, there was an interception.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Port Angels throws an interception and it was it was
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: intercepted by jet Ross and he returned it into Port
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Angelos territory. Three plays later to allow hit Ross on
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: a thirty three yard touchdown pass on their on their
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: patented play action pass where they faked two handoffs and
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: then throw it deep to the X receiver and jet
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Ross hauled that in. And that's the way he the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: personnel is right now for a mount Baker, that's gonna
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: be looking really good because Toga tiglout can really throw
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the deep ball. Jet Ross is a six to two
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: hundred pound receiver, physical, good athlete, can go up and
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: get the ball. So that works out really well. And
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: that was you know, that was right before that. I
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: was with a minute to go until half. Port Angeles
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: throws another interception. On the very next play from scrimmage,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Zion Paglia intercepted a pass and right after that, uh,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: there was another thirty two yard touchdown this past this
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: time from Toga to jet and it was this was
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the work of beauty because jet Ross to that point
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: had caught a few out patterns, a little five yard
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: and out we used to call them, well when I played,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: it was a ninety six and and and now and
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: then so they did the out and up, So you
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: do the fake pump, he fakes on the out, goes
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: straight up and hit him and that's a ninety six
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: up is what we used to call it. And uh
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: and it was. It was just done perfectly and there
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: was no first game jitters with those guys. They did
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: a great job and with a touchdown catch there, it
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: gave Mount Baker a twenty to six lead. The second
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: half was pretty much all Mount Baker, great defense, great
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: great run game. Bryce Cooper had a six yard touchdown run,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Toga Tiglau, who I talked about earlier, had had the
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: two yard quarterback sneak, and then Camden Moa had a
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: thirty two yard blast right up the middle, his second
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: touchdown of the game. And like I said earlier, team
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: high one hundred and three rushing yards in that one.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Noah Nicole Mills scored a five yard touchdown run in
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and the rough Rider scored once more
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: at the very end. On the Mount Baker jvs. It looked,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, you look at the score, it's a lot
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: like last year's score, a little bit different as far
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: as the beginning of the game. You kind of swap
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: out the middles in the beginnings and you kind of
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: a very close game to last year. Mount Baker looked really,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: really good. A lot of guys did some good things.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I thought the offensive line was fantastic. It did look
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: like Noah Ilichev got banged up early. I don't think
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: he returned in the game, and that's a that's a
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: huge blow to both sides the ball. He's returning All
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Conference first team guard for Mount Baker, so we'll find
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: out if he's gonna be good to go next week.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be tough. He's he's one heck of a player.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, my goodness, he's he's really really good. On
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. There was a lot
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: of guys that stood out. I thought Aaron Torres played
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: really well as a defensive tackle. He had six tackles,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: four of them behind the line of scrimmage. They lived
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: in the backfield of Port Angeles for most of the night.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of great plays there. Kel Reardon,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: you know, you talk about defensive ends and he's he's
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the best one in the county for you know, to me.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Five and a half tackles, one and a half tackles
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: for loss, a sack the pass. He had a pass
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: that he knocked down where he kind of knocked it up,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: went straight up in the air, no one got to it,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: and he also blocked that extra point. He just he
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: rereaks havoc on so much stuff, and I think they
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: were the other team was called for holding a few
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: times against him too, trying to do what they could.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: They double triple teamed him. There wasn't a whole lot
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: that they could do. Camden moa five and a half tackles,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: two tackles for loss, a forced fumble. Boy he did he.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I think he forced a bunch of fumbles and recovered some.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: In last year's game against Port Angeles ziaon Pagley, I
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: thought it did a great job. In his first Farsty
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: started at corner. Four and a half tackles, one tackle
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: for loss, a pass broken up, and he had the interception.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Andrew Monteeth was great as an outside linebacker kind of
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: strong safety outside linebacker. Eight tackles, He had an interception
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: as well, led them in tackles. NOA. Nicole Mills at
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: his natural middle linebacker spot played defensive end last year.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: He had six tackles, one and a half tackles for loss.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: So a lot of guys doing some good things. Really
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: really good to see Mount Baker playing at the level
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: that it's used to be used to being played. You know,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: a down year a couple of years ago, kind of
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: started to move it back up last year and so yeah,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: pick up the forty seven to twelve win. Mount Baker
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: goes to one to zero on the season. Really really
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: cool to see. They will travel to Hawkinson to take
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: on the Hawks on Friday next week. So let's go next.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: We're gonna go right into it. We're gonna go into
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the big game that took place out at Lindon. The
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Lions defeated Ferndale thirty eight to eight. You know, I
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: was talking to some people before the game and they
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: thought that this could happen. I kind of doubted it,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: just because these two teams always played each other really close,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: at least they have in the last handful of years.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: But it looked like early on to me, like Lyndon
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: really was really sharp, like they looked like they were
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: in mid season form. Everything was very crisp, Ferndale had
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: a lot of mistakes offensively as far as just illegal
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: procedures and jumping and just little things, and they couldn't
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: catch up. You know, they kept getting behind the sticks
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: and they just couldn't. And by that time it was
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: fourteen nothing. I mean, Linden had you know, a couple
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: of Max Austin touchdown runs and in the first quarter,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and by that point that's really hard to come back from,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: especially against Lynden and Ferndale. Excuse me, Ferndale is not sorry.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Coach came in. I know you got me for yawning
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: before and I'm trying not to now see what see
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: you're in my head now, coach inside joke there, Ferndale.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: You know, you get down fourteen to nothing early and
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: they're not built to really come back through the air
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and the ground game. There were some moments and then
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: they ran for one hundred and sixty two yards as
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: a team. But Linnen's defense was just so strong and
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: there wasn't like one guy this is usually the case,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: there wasn't one guy that really stood out. It was
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: a total team effort, everybody swarming to the ball. I mean,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Malachi Canan had seven tackles and Toka tig Or Lofa
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Tiglau four and a half tackles in a pass broken up.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Those were the guys that kind of stood out to me.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I thought Avro Mendoza played well on the defensive line
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: as well, but it's just as a unit. They were
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: just so strong as a unit, and my goodness, it
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: was really really strong that with that, Gordi Bedlington came in,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I should say Lucas Lolgy started at quarterback and did
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: really really well played the first few series. Gordy Bedlington
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: came in in the third series, drove them down through
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: a touchdown passed to Danny Bowler. That was a sixteen
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: yard touchdown catch. Earlier in the drive, Danny Bowler caught
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: a pass to put him over a thousand yards in
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: his career receiving, so congratulations to him. I remember his
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: first game, his first Varsty game. He had a pretty
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: good game against Ferndale at Lindon. That was two years
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: ago and now he's been doing this for a while.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: So and Linnen was up twenty one to nothing at
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the half. He come back in the third quarter. Malachai
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Canan kicked a twenty nine yard field goal, and then
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: and they drove down again and they got to the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: one yard line, and then they put Malachi Cainan at
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: like the wildcat, like power, like power wildcat, if you will,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: kind of like what they did with Isaiah Alban last year.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: And with a couple of backs there in front to
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: help lead the way. I believe it was Max Hausink
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: and Dane Marty. And you get those seven offensive linemen
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: in front of you, and you just just play bowli
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: ball right up the middle, and Malachi Canan, who's built
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: like a bowling ball that gets the job done, scores
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the one yard touchdown run. In the fourth quarter, Dawson
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Van Dalen broke off a big forty five yard run
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: and coach gives it to him at the one yard
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: line to finish the job. And at that point Lyndon
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: was up thirty eight to nothing. Pretty pretty crazy. Lennon
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: looked really good, like I said, Lucas Lolgy seven of
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: ten passing for one hundred and one yards, Gordy Bedlington
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: six of seven for sixty nine yards. So both quarterbacks
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: very very efficient. Loved seeing them both in there. It
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: looked like Lolgi may have tweaked his ankle a little
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: bit at one point, you know, in Bedlington. That's why,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: that's why he got another guy that can have some experience.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: He finished the game in the second half and we'll
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: see if they'll be good to go for for later.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Ferndale does get on the board in the fourth quarter,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Elliott Lentson with a thirty four yard touchdown run that
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: came moments after a long run that he had as well.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: He finished with ninety six yards rushing that led led
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: everybody in the game for both teams. He's he's so
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: he's such a good He's so good at hitting a
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: top speed once he makes a cut, and there's certain
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: guys that kind of do that where they look like
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: they're almost falling over and leaning a certain way. Then
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: they make a cut and they just explode. And boy,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: he's so good at that, especially on kick returns and
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: different things like that. He played really well at safety
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: as well, so he was out there for quite a
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: bit going on there. But yeah, Elliot Lenson eleven carries
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: for ninety six yards, Jonathan's Danic ten carries for sixty
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: two yards. They kind of looked like the main two
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: in the backfield, at least at this point chance. Hatchett
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: had a few carries as well. The kind of put
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: him at some different positions. He was a half back,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: wing back, you can line him up a tight end
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: and he did some things there, you know, passing the ball.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Nolan Bolliac was four of seven for fourteen yards, so
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: nothing big down the field. Ryter Bevan caught a seven
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: yard pass. Fenton Vassik had a couple of catches but
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: only total ten yards. And you know, for Lyndon Max
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Austin ten carries for eighty yards. He had the two touchdowns.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Gordy Bedlington sixty seven yards rushing on eight carries out
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: of the quarterback position. That was fun to see. Dawson
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: ben Dalen in the fourth quarter had four carries for
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: fifty four yards, forty five of them coming on one play.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Austin Postma came in the third quarterback of the game,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: had twenty one yards rushing and from his quarterback spot,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Lucas Lodgi ran for twelve yards Canaan for eight. So
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: a good overall effort by the run game of Lindon.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: The offensive line, of course did their awesome job as usual,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: very very strong upfront, and the receiving sam Arango five
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: catches for fifty seven yards, Danny Bowler four catches for
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: fifty eight and then Max ausinc, Zay Harris, Gordy Bedlington
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: and low Fatiglaut each with a reception. So a very
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: very strong performance by Lindon. I think Ferndale will be okay.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: When I look at their schedule, I think their two
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: non conference games are their hardest games. You're talking Lindon
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: and Lake Stevens later on in the year. I think
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: those are by far there are two hardest games. So
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: once you get into the league here we'll find out
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: kind of where they fit in in the West Go
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: three A North, which you know, to be honest, I
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: just don't know that much about. Ferndale is the only
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: walking county team in that conference. So it's very very
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: you know, new ground for me. Every time I see
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: game some of them, you'll see a team and they
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: run a certain formation. Man where is I have no
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: clue about this, and that's just kind of how it is.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: So so we'll see. But Linden, I think Linden looked
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: stronger than I thought they were gonna be. And I
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: had them, you know, as a possible state championship team, so, uh,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: they really really impressed me. Uh, Ferndale will be just fine.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Linden will travel to Franklin Pierce on Saturday for a
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: two o'clock game Franklin Pierce one. And oh and uh,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Ferndale will be at Oak Harbor at seven o'clock on Friday.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Oak Harbor lost big in Week one, so so they
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: are also oh and one that'll be a conference game
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: for the Golden Eagles. So yeah, I mean, you know,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: it's the big game, right, It's the big, it's the big,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: it's the big you know, battle between each other and
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: you know, the two rivals and and uh, you know,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: it was a little bit more lopsided than we were
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: used to seeing, but you just never know with week one.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: With week one, sometimes I did want to mention a
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: couple of defensive guys. I talked about some Linden defensive
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: guys on Ferndale. Jonathan Stanik nine and a half tackles,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: two tackles for loss, looked very very good at the
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: linebacker spot. And then another trio guys, Elliot Lentson, who
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I brought up earlier, seven tackles. Chance Hatchett had six
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: tackles half a tackle, for loss and Parker McManus had
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: four and a half tackles and a tackle for loss.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: I believe he even had a kickoff and this is
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: something you'll never see a kickoff where he kicked it
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: off and he made the tackle inside the ten and
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of things have to happen for that to
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: actually happen, but it did and that was that was
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: pretty cool to see as well. So so yeah, so
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: that is Ferndale at Lyndon. That was the big one
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: there over the weekend. Let's go ahead and jump into
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: the five o'clock game from Friday. That was Bellingham against
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Lynnwood at Edmunds Woodway High School. And you know, Linwin
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: hadn't hadn't won a game in a couple of years.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Bellingham wins the game nineteen to seven. But from people
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I heard from, it was, you know, it was sloppy
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: and it just they didn't look great. I watched the
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: film and there were, yeah, they were there were moments
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: where there was mistakes being made. Stuff that but stuff
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: that's fixable, stuff that you can clean up. Bellingham was
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: up seven to nothing at the half, they were up
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: seventeen nothing after three quarters, end up winning nineteen to seven.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: They held Linwood to just seventy two yards of total
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: offense on forty seven plays, So you know, I mean
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: you're holding them to under two yards of play. That's
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: that's pretty good. Bellingham racked up one hundred and seventeen
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: yards on the ground two hundred and eleven through the air.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Both their touchdowns came from passes from Ben Leonard to
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Joe Harward. The first one a sixty three yard pass
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: where that will be up for a nominated for a
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: PEPSI Play of the Week. Wait till you see that
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: this play, he broke seven or eight tackles on his
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: way to scoring the first touchdown of the year for
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: the BayHawks, actually the first touchdown of the year in
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Walkin County, that being the five o'clock game. And yeah,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: the nineteen yard touchdown pass, he just kind of jumped
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: over his defender and just grabbed it, just kind of
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: out athletic his opponent, if that's a word. Bellingham also
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: had two safeties almost had a third one in the game.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Linnwood's offense is you know, we talked about football in
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: a phone booth. You know we've seen it over the
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: you know, in the past with les center twenty years ago.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: We've seen it with on Alaska, who we'll talk about
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: in a little bit, but this was even This was
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: even tighter, and this was really you know, bunched up
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: in there. Yeah, Tanao had an offense similar to that
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: a few years ago that we saw them in the
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: playoffs a couple of times when Mount Baker got him
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: and LC got him, you know, over the last three
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: four years. But yeah, Bellingham they get the win, and
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: that's what's important. Saw Owen Hanstead play some running back,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: kind of a new position for him, but why not,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: He's played every other position. He had eighteen carries for
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: seventy two yards to lead the rushing attack. Joe Harward
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: had two carries for thirty two yards on a couple
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: end of rounds there that did some good things. Ben
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Leonard was fourteen of thirty one passing for two hundred
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: and eleven yards and the two touchdowns. Joe Harward five
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: catches for one hundred and twenty eight yards and two scores.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Calvin van Hoffwagen looked really good as the new tight
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: end five catches for forty three yards, and also Bellingham
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: had catches from Matthew Steele Miley Wright, Owen Han said,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: and Zach gersel, So a lot of different guys getting
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: the ball. I think Bellingham, you know, they always talk
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: about your biggest improvement is from week one to week two,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: and I think Bellingham will kind of fall under that.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: They had a lot of guys that were not that
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: were on the sidelines just with their jerseys on and
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: no pads. Those guys might be eligible for week two.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: So that'll give them a big, big boost. And we'll
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: have to see. I think that. I think, and they're
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: gonna it's gonna be needed because they're gonna be playing
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: a league opponent next week, going against Lakewood, and yeah,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: that'll be that'll be on Friday at Civic Stadium, seven o'clock,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Lakewood oh to one, Bellingham one. And oh, let's look
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: quickly at the defense. And this is where this is.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: This is fun and this is what's always cool about
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: watching Week one. And it's a really, really busy week
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: because I'm not in the groove, I'm not used to
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: doing things. I'm watching film. I'm trying to get all
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: the stories out as quickly as i can, and there
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: will all of a sudden, there'll be someone brand new
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: that I have no clue about that jumps out at me.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: And this this week it was Rylan Clawson, a six
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: to two one hundred and seventy five pound freshman for
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Bellingham who was playing defensive line who he had six tackles,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: three tackles for lost, two sacks and a forced fumble.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: He was he was awesome. I mean, that was so
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: cool to see because it's a brand new guy. It's
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: a freshman and probably more of a linebacker. But against
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: this defense, you're just you're putting you know, six seven guys,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: you know, your hand in the in the on the
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: ground and just going at it. He was one of
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: those guys, but he made play after play. I thought
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Owen Hanson did a great job. He had eight tackles,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: two tackles for loss, also on defense, Aid and Polar,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: four tackles, a pass broken up and an interception. Joshua
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Kroll getting some run on the defensive line. We've seen
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: him at center for so long. He had four and
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: a half tackles, half a tackle for loss and a
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: fumble recovery. And then the new kid, Barrett Johnson, who
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: we know from basketball but is playing football this year.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: At six foot six defensive end. He had two and
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: a half tackles, two of those stops behind the line
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: of scrimmage. So that's who stood out for me on defense.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: And and Belle Am gets the win, although it's not
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: as as pretty as as it can be, but hey,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: they will take it. And I think I think Bellingham
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: is gonna you know, they'll be just fine. It was
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: just kind of one of those games where a lot
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: of things just weren't going kind of how they thought
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: it would. But but they did well enough to win,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: and that's what matters. They're want to zero. They begin
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: conference play on Friday when they host Lakewood at seven
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: o'clock at Civic Stadium, and we'll be out there for
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: that one. Next up, we're gonna be at Civic Stadium,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: and for doing that, we're gonna talk to our coach,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Jeff Wood in the coaches corner and we are joined
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: on the coaches corner by our coach Jeff Wood. Coach,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: how you doing today?
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: I'm doing great, Tyler.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: How are you doing all right? Coach? You were out
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: at Civic Stadium on Friday night, which is nice, you
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: don't have to drive too far, and you saw a
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: conference game at least something that meant something. But other
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: than that, it wasn't too much of a game. See
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: home hosting Mary's Will Pilchuck tell us about what you saw.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of Sea home scoring and not much
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: from the other side from Mary'sville. Pilch the Mariners had
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: had a good opener. Everything was clicking. They looked in
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: mid season form and just yeah it was.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: It was great.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: They have a pretty experienced team, you know, making the
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: quarterfinals last year, and brought a lot of guys back
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: and fourth year starting quarterback Nolan right which is I
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: don't know that doesn't happen too often in high school football,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: where he guy got a guy starting for four years.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: So he had another great game as usual.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I can only probably count on one
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: hand how many guys have done that. And because of that,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: he's going to be knocking on the door to some
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: county records when by the time his career is all
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: over with and done. One thing I really liked about
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Nolan right here too, is that he did throw for
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: you know, quite a bit of yards, not a ton
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: of yards, but everything was very efficient. A lot of
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: touchdown passes to a lot of different guys. Did it
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: look like he was trying to spread it out or
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: was he just going to the best option every time
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: he was passing the ball.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, they don't have Andre Watson, he graduated,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: so they have a lot of different options, a couple
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: guys with experienced deal Quiggle. He had some receptions and
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: a couple of touchdowns, which is probably his main target overall,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: but he's also thrown to Al Miller, who played a
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: bit last year, and he's throwing to some other guys
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: Gunner Anderson. He caught a couple of touchdowns. One was
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: from the backup quarterback Jad Geiger, but one from Nolan
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: and then one to Carter Duckworth who's playing tight end,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: and they rotate a couple other tight ends in there,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: and then Hudson Neft's playing kind of the slot receiver
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: this year, playing some offense too. He had a touchdown,
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: So a lot of a lot of weapons there for
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Sea Home. And then they're they're balanced too. They're actually
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: running it more than they were passing it, I think
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: early on, or at least pretty balanced. Kind of a
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: balance mix between Nicky Smith and Sawyer Woods, who both
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: were running the ball pretty well, so everything everything was
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: working for the for the Mariners.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I you know, I was just going to
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: say the same thing. They ran the ball twenty five
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: times and only threw it thirteen times. I guess you
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: can kind of get away with that when you know
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: there's a running clock in the second half and you're
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: just trying to kind of eat up clock. But they're
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: not just you know, getting a few yards here and there.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: They're averaging five six yards of carry. And it looks
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: like Nicky Smith is I don't know, he looked different
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: out there. He looked faster, he looked a little trimmor maybe,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know, he looked he looked pretty good. And
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Sawyer Woods, I'm so glad that he's back healthy. Got
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: injured early in the year last year. And seeing carsonef
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: on offense, that's that's just another weapon that people earned
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: carsonef I'm sorry, Hudson nef on offense. I'm gonna do
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: that like ten times this year, so be ready, people,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Hudson nep on offense is just another great weapon to have.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Kind of reminds me a lot of Colby Chambers who
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: played defense for three straight years and then kind of
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: got into with some offense last year. How about their
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: offensive line? There's been a lot of talk about this
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: is one of their best offensive lines they've had in
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: quite a while. Did they did look pretty impressive to you?
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they have big guys up front, and
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: they can move well also, and they were they were
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: plowing some holes there for the for the running backs
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: and given Nolan time to throw. You know, you got
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Cole Terrell, he started back in his freshman year when
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: I was still coaching. And then some other guys they're upfront,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Finn Sweites, Greg war and Logan Rogers and Aiden Simmons
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: and a couple other guys, Hunter Staton and uh just
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: I think they got a transfer from Squalcum and they
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: rotate some other guys in there. But yeah, it's a
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: it's a real solid, uh, real solid line they have.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely Braid Nortiz, the three hundred pounds center coming
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: over from from Squalcum. He's a he can definitely play
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: the part. And it is a It's not just a
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: great offensive line. They're big as well. The defense, holding
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Mary'sville Pilltuck Pillchuck to just forty three total yards on
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: thirty seven plays, so they're averaging just over one yard
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: per play. That that defense looked really really good, a
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: lot of stops behind the line of scrimmage. What did
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: you like about their defense?
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're just fast and strong and aggressive to be
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: a fun group to coach. Uh, And they they actually
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: alternate fronts a bit too, from a switch to a
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: three four to four to three, and so that makes
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: it tough, especially for the guys trying to block them.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: And they Yeah, they were just really swarming to the
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: ball and making a lot of plays. And you know,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Mary'sville pilcheck, it's kind of a team that's it's a
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: little sad to see they only had probably thirty some
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: guys suited up. And you know, it used to be
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: one of the biggest schools in the in the state
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: and they had a lot of good teams for a
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: lot of years and they've you know, lost guys to
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: transfer the school districts, having some issues. And yeah, they
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: they were not not a great a great looking team,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: but you know, they they were trying hard and doing
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: their best for what they had. But uh, not much
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: was working for.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Him, absolutely, but they did get that field goal there
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: at the end, So it's nice to they kind of
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: completed they completed a pass, they got them down there
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: a little and then able to get that field goal
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: in there. Yeah. I mean, you know, you kind of
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: said it. It's just been an overall great team performance there.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Next week they're gonna be playing Anacordis and that's gonna
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: be a heck of a matchup. I you know, Antachordus
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: looked pretty good. They beat up on Bainbridge, and I
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: know last year's game kind of got out of hand early.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: I think it was twenty eight to nothing after the
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: first quarter, but I think it finished it, you know,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: thirty five to seven or something like that. Do you
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: feel like this Sea home team is better equipped to
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: handle Antichordus this year than they did last year. I do.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: I think they're bigger and stronger upfront, which will make
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: a difference. Yeah, they're experienced, they're more multiple on offense.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: I won't be easy.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: By any means, but you know, anti Chordas even Anti
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Coortus did. They definitely graduated some good players, the Beaner
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: brothers and et cetera. But they have a probably a
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: D one quarterback that's throwing it and some really good
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: athletes and overall teams, so and playing down there is
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: always tough. They pack it, it's loud. So I think, uh,
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: you know, it'll be a great game, great matchup, and
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: I think the team coming out on top will you know,
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: be the one that executes better early on in the season.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: And you know, but I think both those both stee
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Home and Anacordus will be at the top. With Lynnon
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: and Archbishop, I mean, man, those four teams are just
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: all of them are loaded. So uh you know, it's
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: a really really tough conference again and a lot of
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: good football players, a lot of good coaching, a lot
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: of good good football to watch here.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. I mean it's what I love is, you know
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: that is that four teams get to make it to
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: the postseason too. So that's we're really lucky that that's
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: the case, because I know there's been years when you
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: were coaching when it was only two teams, right, and
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: you knew there were other teams around the conference that
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: could do some damage in the postseason. Another thing I
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: want to bring up really quickly, coaches, and I love
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: that you brought up the three man front versus the
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: four man front, and this is why we do coaches,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: corner because that's something that a coach notices, because I've
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: sat up in the booth many times when a coach
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: will say, oh, no, they're in a four man front now,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: or oh they just changed to a three man front,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: and how that can and a fan in the and
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: the fan in the crowd is not really looking at
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: stuff like that, but how that can change, you know,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: as a blocking scheme or something. So I really appreciate
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: you bringing that up. Coach. Thank you so much for
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: joining us on the coaches corner and I'll talk to
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: you next week. All right, sounds good, Tyler, Thanks coach. Well,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: that was the coach's corner with Jeff Wood, and I
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: love talking to him about, you know, the x'es and
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: o's and the things that he sees that a lot
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: of people don't see. But what a lot of people
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: saw on this one was the scoreboard, sixty four to three,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Seahome getting the win against Marysville Pilchuck. As we said earlier,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Seahome will have a much more difficult test next week,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: traveling to the defending state champion and acord of Seahawks
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: for a seven o'clock game on Friday. Kpug will be
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: out there for Friday night lights. Check them out from
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: three to seven. They'll be out there doing all sorts
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: of things. Stop in, say hi and yeah, ask him
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: when the Walking Preps guy is going to be back on.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: I'm just kidding with you. Yeah, So that one was,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: you know, that was crazy. Nolan Wright throwing six touchdown
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: passes and that's the third time in his career that
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: he's done that. The Walking County record is six, and
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: obviously the school record is six with Nolan Wright doing
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: it three times, Jacob Kaepernick doing it in twenty nineteen.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: So let's go ahead and move on to the next game.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: This was the one that I was at Nukzac Valley
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: hosting on Alaska and the Pioneers take the win thirty
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: five to twelve. And this one, early on it looked
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: very very even on Alaska. On their first drive, I
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: think it was four or five plays in the game, quarterback,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: you know, finally kept the ball in one play. This
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: is a run heavy team, we're talking. They had fifty
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: eight plays, they ran it fifty six times, and on
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Alaska breaks off the sixty two yard touchdown run and
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: they go for two. They don't get it nook sac
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Valley gets the ball back and Evan Brown looked super sharp,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: just dotting his guys left and right. Boom boom boom.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: And then they get down to the eighteen yard line.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: He drops back to pass. Everybody's covered, but there's a
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: ton of green in front of him. And I love
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: seeing this because he took off and ran and he
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: broke tackles, he outran guys and it was awesome to
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: see because even though he can run, he just hasn't
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: that much in his varsity career. Joey, his older brother,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: did it all the time. And Joey one of the
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: best athletes in Wakam County history. And Evan's a different athlete.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: You know, Joey plays basketball, Evan does not. Joey did track.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Evan is a baseball player. They're just very They're very different.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Although they look like twins, they're very different kinds of
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: athletes with different skill sets. But he looked a lot
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: like Joey running the ball, and that was really really
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: cool to see. So you add that element to it,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: and that is really scary, especially in that kind of
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: offense where you can really spread the field out and
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: if you don't see something you take off and go
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Nutsack Valley has had so many of those dual threat
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the last eighteen years or so that they've
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: been running this offense, so yeah, so he picks out.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: He ran for fifty five yards in the game, got
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: that eighteen yard touchdown right there, and then Tyler Martin
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Kickdeck's point to give Nuksack Valley the lead. They held
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: onto the lead for the rest of the way. Brown
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: found Cole Koppinger in the second quarter in a fourteen
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: yard pass in the end zone, so that gave them
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: a four team to six lead. On alask comes back
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: and scores a touchdown and to make it fourteen to twelve,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: but Nuksack Valley did all the scoring from there. Brown
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: found Jackson Hester on a sixteen yard touchdown pass on
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: a great it was so well put together. Hester kind
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: of caught it there on the seam and Ackerman, Dane Ackerman,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: the tight end who's out running a pattern. As soon
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: as it was caught, he breaks off and makes a
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: and he's in perfect alignment to make a block so
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Hester can get into the end zone. Brown found Coppinger
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: again for a seven yard touchdown pass in the third
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: quarter and Matthew Blake, the senior running back, scored from
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: four yards out in the fourth and to make it
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: thirty five to twelve. On Alaska. They ran the ball
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: for three hundred and twenty yards. I mean, that's what
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: they do. But it was the bend but don't break
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: defense of Nucksack Valley that kept them out of the
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: end zone. In the entire second half, Knuksack Valley ran
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: for one hundred and fifty three yards, passed for two
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: hundred and three yards. Very very even job there. Twenty
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: two runs, thirty three passes, Matthew Blake, twelve carries for
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: eighty five yards and the touchdown to lead him on
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: the ground, Evan Brown, like I said earlier, fifty five
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: yards on six carries. Trey Houghton four carries for thirteen yards.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Evan Brown was also twenty five of thirty three for
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: two hundred and three yards. That is a lot of completions.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Twenty five completions, so very very accurate with his passing.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: On the receiving side, Jackson Hester with nine catches for
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: seventy one yards. He looked fantastic and fired up. Boy.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: You don't see a lot of kids that are. I mean,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: they're all fired up for week one, But when you're
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: a senior, when you're a captain, when it's your turn
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: and you go out and ball like that. Jackson Hester
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: looked awesome. Nine catches for seventy one yards and the touchdown.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Dane Ackerman five catches for fifty six yards. Cole Coppinger
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: three catches for thirty nine yards and two scores. Jayden
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Jones had three catches. Trey Houghtink caught two passes, one
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: of which he Holy cow, he went down the field
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: and just bulldozed a couple of guys. That play might
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: be up for the PEPSI Player of the Week. Matthew
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Blake had two catches and Dylan Rymer caught a pass
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: as well. Nooksack Valley looked great on defense. You know
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: you're playing that you're playing against that offense in a
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: phone booth again where everybody's tightly within, you know, in
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: there and and he's just trying to figure out you know,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: stay at home and do your reads and don't fall
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: for stuff and just make the tackle when it when
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: it presents itself. Matthew Blake made twelve of them. He
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: had a lot of tackles. He also had a fumble recovery.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Andrew Dugger had nine tackles and a fumble recovery. Max
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Lautenbach had seven tackles and he forced a fumble. Jackson
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Hester great on offense. Pretty Darren good on defense too,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: eight and a half tackles from his new middle linebacker spot. Uh.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Cohen Howford he had five and a half tackles and
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: a fumble recovery. You see this is this was a
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: big part of the game. Three fumble recoveries. Uh. That
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: that was That was that kind of helped turn that
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: momentum for for for Knuksack Valley. But I was walking
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: the sidelines on the logger's side there for a little bit,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: and that coaching staff was not happy. They just they
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: because they because they knew, I mean, that's a team
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be reckoning with and two B they can
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: really move the football. They got the personnel to do it. Uh.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Tyler Martin, Tyler Martin, excuse me, also had four and
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: a half tackles and a forced fumble. So some good
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: things to like on defense. Nuksack Valley starts the starts
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: the year off with the win at home in convincing fashion.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: They're gonna host Life Christian on Friday at six o'clock.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: I've heard, I mean, I've seen that it's on Saturday
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: at too. I've seen that it's on Friday at six.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: So hopefully we'll get it all figured out. And either way,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: I mean I'll probably be out of that one too.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: So so yeah, Nukzack Valley looking really really strong there.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Uh just you know, really good to see because there's
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: so many brand new faces, uh that are finally getting
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: their their turn and uh, you know, highlighted by guys
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: like Jackson Hester and Matthew Blake and then the young
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: guys coming up and making big time plays like you know,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Tyler Martin and Trey Hugh Tink and and then and
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: the veterans doing their thing, you know, like Evan Brown
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: and Cole Coppinger and so it was it's a it's
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: a great mix. And you could tell from the coaching
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: staff they really like this group. So that is a great,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: great thing for the for the Trytown area of Everson
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Kooksack and Sue Mass. And then the last game from
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: Friday was a game out at Burlington Edison and that
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: was Squalakum storm going up there or going down there
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: and facing the Tigers and a conference game, and this
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: was this was the closest game of the week. This
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: was a heck of a game. Back and forth. Burlington
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: started out with a twenty yard touchdown pass looked really good,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: driving right down and scoring. Uh Squalkum bounces back though,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: and they get down there, they get into to arrange
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: to kick a thirty yard field goal, and there was
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: a penalty on the place, so they had to back
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: it up a little bit. So Elias Larnega had to
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: kick a thirty five yard field goal and it was
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: It was awesome to see because he nailed it. And
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: you know, your first time kicking under the light, sophomore kicker,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: I can, I can tell you right now that first one.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: You got some juice going. And my first one ever
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: was a thirty six yard field goal. And boy, week
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: one against Lakewood, it was the first drive of the year,
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: and I was, holy cow, I was. I was jittery,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: and I did miss it. It was wide left, but
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: I crushed it, but it was just it was just
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: wide left. But it was good to get out of
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: my system and so that was good. That he made
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: that one, and it was huge too, because right before
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: the half, Cole Burke hit a perfect pass over the
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: shoulder to Khalil Benta for a twenty eight yard touchdown
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: pass Larenega with the extra point there gives Squalokum a
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: ten to seven lead at the Halfton was driving right
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: before the half but ended up fumbling it right at
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: the one yard line into the end zone. That was
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: a big, big moment for Squalkum there, and so Squalcum
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: led ten to seven going in the half. There was
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: no scoring in the third quarter, some punts back and forth,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: but then a big, big moment in the to begin
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: the fourth Burlington is rolling out to the left being
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: chased by Asher Osby Jornson, the sophomore outside linebacker. So
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: he's forced to kind of do almost like a shovel
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: pass or just kind of a Brett Favor kind of
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: get it out there to a guy, and he did it.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: DJ Hill, who is a sophomore that is you know,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: listed as a linebacker, is probably you know what he's
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: played the most, but he was playing defensive line at
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: the time, was you know, going down the sideline with
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: the play intercepts the pass goes forty three yards for
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: a touchdown, and at that point that gave Squalacum a
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: sixteen to seven lead eerily in the fourth quarter. That
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: was a huge momentum boost. I was watching that live.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: I had just gotten home. I was watching that live
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: on NFHS when it happened updating the guys on the
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: radio about it. And that was a huge, huge play.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Burlington Edison, though, was able to drive down after that,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: and I think they I think it was like a
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: three play drive where they just ran forty five yards
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: and ended up scoring a touchdown run to make it
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: a one score game. They kicked the extra point and
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: then with oh, I'm trying to remember here now. It
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: was it was not that much time left in the game.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: I want to say. It was like, I don't know,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: a little over a minute to go. Squalalkum was down
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: by or I'm sorry, Squalicumb's up by uh three, and
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: and man, see I'm trying to get this right now.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: It was fourteen to sixteen. No, No, Squalkum was up
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: by two. Squal COM's up by two. Burlington Burlington's driving down,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: but they had a fourth down. I think it was
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: like a fourth and nine with a minute to go,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: and they're in field goal range. Their kicker is actually
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: pretty darn good. He puts them through the end zone
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: or into the end zone at least, So this would
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: have been like about a forty yard field goal attempt.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: To take a lead by one with like a minute
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: to go, they decided to go for it. They called
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: the time out, called a play. They go for it,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: and they had to receive, and they hadn't been throwing
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: very well, especially in the second half, and they were
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: able to make a play. I mean, the slot receiver
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: sat down in the zone and they got it to him.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: He caught it first down. Place goes crazy. Next play
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: eleven yeard touchdown run and Burlington took a lead. At
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: that point. They went for two, which is the smart
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: thing with the you know, the time it's left left
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: and and the point differential. They didn't get it, which
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: gave him a four point lead, and so Squalum had
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: one last you know, go at it with less than
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: a minute to go, and you know, they threw the
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: ball deep a few times, got some pass interference calls,
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: got past the fifty, but it wouldn't it wouldn't be
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: as there was a strip sack and that was the
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: end of the game. Squalicum loses twenty to sixteen to Burlington.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: Edison kind of knew that was gonna be a really
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: good game, you know. Squalicum defense actually looked really really good.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: The offense a few things to work on. You know,
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: you you lost Bryce and Veren at the jamboree. Who's
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: one of your best, if not your best, you know
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: overall Lineman will be This would have been his third
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: year as a starter. So you lose that guy, and
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: that's really really tough and kind of makes things harder
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: on your offensive line and you might have to adjust
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: to different things. And so that was really really, really
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: really tough. And uh but Squalicum they'll they'll get some
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: things together, you know, get it, get kind of put
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: back together. They're gonna host Marysville Pilchuck on Saturday at
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: Civic Stadium at seven o'clock. Both teams oh and one. There,
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: both teams oh and one in conference by two. So
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: you got to get that. You gotta you don't want
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: to drop to owen to two in the Northwest Conference
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: or you know, you're you're gonna have a long way
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: to go after that. And I know it's early, but
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: that's just kind of the way that it is with
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: that team. Now I talked about I talked about the
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: offense struggling, There was a few good things. Asher Osby
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: Ornson ten carries for sixty three yards, Avery Wiener had
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: nineteen yards rushing, DJ Hill at fifteen, Cole Burke nine
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: of twenty passing for eighty one yards, and the beautiful
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: touchdown passed to Khalil Benta. Anson Osby Ornson had four
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: catches for thirty four yards. Jacob Clark, the new tight end,
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: had three catches, and Kalil bent To two catches for
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: forty yards. So those were your offensive leaders. And then
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: on defense, Asher Osby Ornson just looked awesome as an
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: outside linebacker. That kid is at top speed right away
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: and he is so fast. Thirteen tackles, two tackles for loss,
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: a sack, a pass broken up. The pass he deflected
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: actually was a great, great play that he got a
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: hand on. And then older brother Anson dives in there
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: and makes the interception. That was a tremendous play. But
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: if Asher doesn't make that, if he doesn't you know,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: if he doesn't tip that the interception doesn't happen. And
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: then he also had the the quarterback hurry that got
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: that forced the interception on the pick six. So just
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: a great all around game. First Varsty game for Asher
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: Osby Ornson. I thought he did fantastic. Zach Watt always
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: tremendous at safety. He had eight tackles, he forced a fumble,
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: he broke up two passes. He's always gonna put up numbers.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: That's what that kid does. Avery Wiener nine tackles and
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: a pass broken up. A lot of hard hits from
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: that inside linebacker spot Dj Hill. Like I said earlier,
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: he had that pick six, which was huge. Anson Osby
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: Ornson had that interception and he broke up a pass
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: as well. So I thought the defense played pretty darn
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: well and the offense is just gonna have to play
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: catch up a little bit. They will be just fine.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: They have some really nice pieces and it'll just be
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: you know, getting things back on sync, you know, no
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: more penalties, no more legal procedures, getting the timing down.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: They'll be just fine. Uh, once that all kind of
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: settles in there, and they, like I said, they host
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: Mary's Will Pilchuck on Saturday at seven o'clock at Civic Stadium.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: Now we jump to the Saturday games and we're gonna
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: go down to Renton where the Border Rights took on
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: the Red Hawks and Blaine. You know, very very young
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: team had a few mistakes, especially early on, which was
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: kind of expected. It's unfortunately a lot of them led to,
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: you know, some tough things happening. I mean, there was
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: a there was a roughing the punter, which, you know,
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: someone please explain this to me. But I thought the ball,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, I I don't know, and I just don't know,
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: so I do want someone to explain to me. If
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: the balls snapped back to the punter and it hits
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: the ground. First I thought it's fair game, but maybe
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: that just means you can tackle the punter. Maybe if
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: he still punts it, you can't hit him. So I'm
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: not quite sure. But the ball was snapped back and
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: it bounced a few times. He picked it up and
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: then punted it and then got hit. That was on
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: the first drive, so it kept Renton's drive alive where
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: they were able to score touchdown on the next on.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: Then on the ensuing kickoff it's fumbled. Renton gets the
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: ball right there Blaine keeps them out of the end zone.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: But that's what I'm talking about. It was little things
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: like that, but it was it was back and forth.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: Early on, they were just trading touchdowns. Connor Brown, the
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: new quarterback, just a sophomore, scored from one yard out.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: Ben Contenair with his extra point kick looked a little,
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: you know, a little line drivy, but it got the
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: job done. And then on the ensuing kickoff, he kicks
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: it off, really good kickoff, but the kick return goes along.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: Continair makes the tackle but hurts himself in the process.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: So now Blaine is without a kicker who's a freshman,
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: and so they had to go for two the rest
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: of the way. And it's hard, it was hard to
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: see from the film, but I want to say it
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: was Jade and Johannison that kicked off the rest of
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: the way. So so there, that's what they're gonna be
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: doing this week is either you know, seeing if kattin
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: Er is ready to go, or they're going to be
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: looking for a kicker, or maybe not, maybe they'll just
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: go for two. Renton then scored on a four yard
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: touchdown run and Blaine answered back with a fourteen yard
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: pass from Connor Brown to Peyton Bauma. So I mean
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: in fourteen thirteen at that point, you know, Blaine's in it.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: But then Rent and ripped off one, two, three, four, five,
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: six touchdowns in a row, with the four of them passes,
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: one run and the last one being a pick six.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: There were some fumbles in there as well. It was
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: it was a tough go there in the second and
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: third quarters and into the fourth quarter for Blaine. And
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: you know, I think there's a lot of fixable things
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: out there. They do have. There was some really good
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: things that happened, and they did score in the fourth
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: quarter as well. Connor Brown hit Peyton Bama for a
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: twenty yard touchdown Bass and then they connected again for
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: the two point conversion. You know, running the ball was tough.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: I don't really think they're built for running the ball,
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: especially it's just a one to eighty from last year.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: They were extremely built for rushing the ball. Last year
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: they had eighteen running plays they amassed sixteen yards, so
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: that did not go as well as planned. They were
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: sixteen of thirty four through the air, two interceptions, but
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: the two touchdowns two hundred and fourteen yards. That was
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: all Connor Brown, the new sophomore starting quarterback in his
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: first Farsty start, was kind of had his feet set
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: to the fire, but I think he did. I think
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: he answered the bell really really well. He also had
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown and I really liked what I saw.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: Actually very accurate on deeper passes, which is really good
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: to see, especially from a sophomore. He had two receivers
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: that went over one hundred yards. That was the first
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: time in three years that Blaine has done that. Kai
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: Kerwin eight catches for one hundred on the dot, Peyton
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: Bama seven catches for one hundred and one yards. Isaac
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: Bauma had a catch for thirteen yards as well. And
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: then on defense, kai Kerwin, although he didn't play a
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: ton at safety, they were kind of arresting him a
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: little bit. I believe he had six and a half tackles,
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: a forced fumble and a pass broken up. Peyton Bama
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: had six tackles and a quarterback sack. Coming in on
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: a strong safety blitz. Malachai Morillo, now starting at nose tackle,
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: a three year starter on the offensive line, he had
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: four tackles, a tackle for loss, and a forced fumble.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: Axel Shelton is always gonna put up big numbers. He
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: had five tackles and a pass broken up as well,
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: So those were kind of your main guys on defense.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: You know, I really think there's gonna be some good
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: improvement for the Border Rights. It was a rough, one,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: really hot day in the sun, a lot of young
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: guys starting for the first time, kind of eye opening
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: type thing. A lot of good athletes on that renton side.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: You saw some really, you know, really good moves put
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: on and Jake and Bake type stuff. And and when
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: renting is, you know, with the new coaching staff, I
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: think that it. I think it really like, you know,
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: that's a team that's got some talent. So if they
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: corral it the right way, they could they could really
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: go places Blaine. They're gonna have to figure it out.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: They'll be on the road again on Saturday when they
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: take on pay L will op a Valley at one o'clock.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: So another one o'clock Saturday game for the Border Rights,
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: which might be a good thing. Give them a full
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: week of practice again, get them ready. They got a
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: few things to fix, probably on the offensive line, defensive assignments,
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: figure out who their kicker, is gonna be and yeah,
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: so a few things to work on there, but like
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: I said earlier, so there's there's there were some things
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: that were good too. Kay Kerwin had over two hundred
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: yards of all purpose yards. You're gonna, you know, see
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: him get the ball quite a bit as he can
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: make things happen in a really really good way. Blayne
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: loses that one fifty five to twenty one to rent
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: in their zer To one and they will go back
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: at it next week. Lynn and Christian Links traveled north
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: of the border to take on Vancouver College the Fighting
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: Irish and boy, if you missed it, this was a
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: game that was on YouTube. Vancouver College promotes all a
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff on YouTube and so it was easy
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: to find and really clear picture and really well done.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: Just super loud and annoying with the music, but other
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: than that, not too bad. And Lennon Christian speaking of
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: not too bad, they looked fantastic, They look huge, they
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: looked fast, they look crisp, they hit hard, and they
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: just looks sharp. And that's there are certain teams that
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: just look really good in week one, and a lot
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: of teams look like they're playing Week one. For Vancouver College.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: This was their second game losing their first game in overtime.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: This was was a little bit different Lyndon Christian jumped
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: out to a twenty eight nothing lead thanks to a
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: touchdown run from Eli Maybury, a twelve yard touchdown pass
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: from Maybury to his cousin Boyce Robertson Trace and Johnson
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: had a seventeen yard touchdown run which was a lot
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: of fun to see because boy I don't know who
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: wants to tackle him. And then Jackson Houliot caught a
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: twelve yard touchdown pass from Eli Mayberry that made it
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: twenty eight nothing. Vancouver College did score on a sixty
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: five yard touchdown pass. Looked like it could have been
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: a broken coverage or something because it just kind of
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: came out of nowhere and they threw deep on the
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: play before too, and that was decently covered this one.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: Then the very next play sixty five yard touchdown pass.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: They also kick a twenty five yard field goal right
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: before the half to make it twenty eight ten at
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: the half, but Lenny Christian scores a couple more touchdowns
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: in the third quarter. Caden Veldman with a five yard
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: catch from Eli Mayberry and Jackson Houlliot with his second
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: touchdown catch of the game. So Eli Mayberry who went
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: fourteen for twenty three for two hundred and one yards
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: and four touchdown passes. Pretty impressive there, I believe his
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: third game throwing four touchdown passes in a game. He
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: looked really really good. Chris Coyman sixteen carries for one
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: hundred and nineteen yards, including a really really tough run
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: that we gained nearly fifty yards. That might be up
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: for PEPSI Player of the Week two. That was a
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: heck of a run. Trays and Johnson four carries for
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: seventeen yards. On the receiving side, Cayden Veldman led the
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: way five catches for seventy three yards and the touchdown.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: Jackson Hoolliot three catches for seventy two yards. One was
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: a fifty yarder, the other two ended up as touchdowns,
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: So a very productive day for Jackson, Hewliott, Boyce Robertson,
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: the All State receiver from last year, three catches for
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: twenty four yards and a touchdown, Chris Coyman two receptions
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: for twenty three yards, and Gunnardcoster caught a pass as well.
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: This was a very very strong game up and down.
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: They held Vancouver College for just twenty yards rushing on
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: twenty seven carries. Yeah, just really really well done. Trayson
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: Johnson also had an interception, which was fun to see
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: him knock guys out of the way getting close to
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: the end zone on that play. He also blocked a punt.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: He kind of did a little bit of everything, you know,
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: I kind of I wish I had an award for
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: do a little bit of everything of the week kind
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: of guy because he would have won it. He also
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: had four and a half tackles. Yeah, I just, like
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: I said, just kind of did a little bit of everything.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: It was really really cool to see Caden Veldman leading
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: the defensive charge with seven tackles, three tackles for loss,
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: a sack, and a forced fumble. He is a scary
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: player when he gets going. Just a junior as well,
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: very very physical, great size, great ability. And then yeah,
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: they just they a lot of I mean Chris Coyman
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: four tackles, a sack, two passes broken up. Really really
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: liked what what he did. Yeah, it was just it
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: was it was a good overall effort. There was in
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: the offensive line I thought played great as well. So
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: there was not you know, there was like no holes
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: in this game. Yeah, just a very very great overall
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: overall job there. And there was a there was a
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: few other guy that Gunnard to cost played, played really
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: well from his trunks or from a safety spot, coming
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: up and making seven tackles. I thought Wyatt camp House
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: four passes defended, and you know, Vancouver College started going
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: to the air quite a bit and testing him and
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: Whyatt Campause did a really good job, you know, combating
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: those passes. I thought Hayden Herberden as an outside linebacker,
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: he's kind of that next guy after Coyman and and Veldman.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: Those guys play a lot on offense. So Hayden's gonna
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: have his job. He's gonna have his times to fill
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: spots there and make plays. And he did that. He
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: had two sacks and plus a tackle and a half
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimmage. One of the sacks was
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: on fourth down, a huge play early in the game.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: Really really pushed elf c's momentum. And so yeah, some
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: really good things uh through all that, and really fun
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: to see Chris Coyman knock down a couple of passes
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: from his outside linebacker spot as kind of got it all.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: Things look really good. They will host North Kitsap on
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: Friday at seven o'clock. North Kitsap of course two Way School.
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: They are one and zero on the season so far,
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: so that should be a heck of a game. We'll
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: be talking to Jeff Wood next week in the coach's
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: corner about that one. That's going to be a lot
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: of fun. Let's jump over to Lumby Nation, baby, and
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: this this was awesome, I got you know, it was
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: fun to watch the game film and talk to coach
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: Layton about it and and just kind of, you know,
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: really sit down and see a full eight man game
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: all at once, and it was pretty eye opening. Lemonation
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: defeated cool Seen forty six to twenty two. It had
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: been two years and one day since Lemon Nation put
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: a win in the win column for the program, and uh,
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: which is it's just weird to think of because for
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: so long they were so dominant. They brought home a
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: state championship I want to say, like twenty ten somewhere
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: in there. You know, deep runs in the playoffs years
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: after year after year, and it's been a struggle with
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years they've been so young. But
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: now you know, as Blaine is gonna find out, right,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: you're young for a while, you end up becoming pretty good.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: And Lemon Nation took it out on the cool scene.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: Rangers forty six to twenty two. Yeah, Jojo Pantalia, that
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: kid as quick as heck. Eighteen carries for eighty six yards,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: and he caught a touchdown pass, he returned to fumble
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: for a touchdown. He forced a fumble, He did all
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: sorts of things. He intercepted a pass. He was all
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: over the place, my man, Gregory Hawk. Twelve carries for
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: sixty six yards, two rushing touchdowns. He also ran in
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: a couple of two point conversions. He caught four passes
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: for eighty five yards and a touchdown. Did a little
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: bit of everything. This was his first game ever as
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: a skill player, the former lineman begging. Coach put me
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: in as a running back. Put me in as a
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: running back, and then with some injuries that happened, they
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: needed him on the skills on the you know, the
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: skills side, and boy, he made him look good. Like
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: I said, three touchdowns scored, two point conversion scored, and
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: you know, over one hundred and fifty yards of total
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: offense of all purpose yards for Gregory Hawk. That was
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: awesome to see. They were up, they were boy, what
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: was it? It was like thirty eight to eight at
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: one point, very Lyndon Ferndale and cool scene does score
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns in the second and third quarter.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: The third quarter touchdown was a ninety eight yard touchdown run.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: And that's the one thing you learn about eight man
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: football is you make You can just make one mistake
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: or make one guy miss, and ninety eight yard touchdowns
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: happened more than you think. And because a wide open
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: field with less bodies on it, there's a lot of
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: green out there at times. Michael Wilson seven of thirteen
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: passing for one hundred and thirty eight yards. That was,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: you know, again, really really cool to see. I thought
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: they mixed him in really well with kind of you know,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: running and throwing. He carried the ball three times for
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: fifty seven yards. Big strong kid, hard to bring down,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: but then he was pretty accurate throwing the ball as well,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: so that was really really good. He had a couple
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: of touchdown passes and a touchdown run and then on
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: the receiving side, sorry Mason Revey two catches for forty
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: one yards and so yeah, I mean just I thought
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: they just played fantastic. Two hundred and forty one yards
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: on the ground, one hundred and thirty eight yards through
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: the air. They did not allow a completed pass on defense.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: Cool scene did put up two hundred and twenty eight
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: yards of rushing nearly ten yards of carry, but so
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: many of that came on that one ninety eight yard
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: touchdown run. But let me Nation picking up the win,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: going to one to zero on the season. They will
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: travel to Darrington, who lost their first game of the year.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: They will travel to Darrington on Friday to take on
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: the Loggers at six o'clock, so be ready to look
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: for that one. And then the final game of the
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: week was the night game on Saturday Meridian and Deer Park.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: This game was supposed to be played at one o'clock
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: at Kashmir High School and but uh with due to
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: poor air quality, it got it kind of got moved
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: at the last second and they had to scramble and
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: figure out a place and a time so they were
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: able to They were able to get this one in
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: at Issaqua High School at six o'clock at night, which
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: worked great for me because there was, you know, three
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: other games going on at one o'clock in the afternoon,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: so so this one stood alone for me. I was
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: I was writing stories, I had it going on on
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: another screen, and all I kept hearing was Alexander to pass.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: And so then when I watched the game tonight, Uh,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: that was the case. Meridian. Meridian looked extremely sharp. I
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: talked about certain teams looking like they're in mid season form,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: Linden and Linden Christian kind of looked like that. Mount
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: Baker looked a lot like that Nuksak did in some points.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: But Meridian looked very very good. And I don't know
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: anything about Deer Park. They went five and five last year,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: so I'm not quite sure the level of competition that
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: they played against. But I think I think Meridian is
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: a lot better than I was giving them credit for earlier.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: I am I am convinced of the Trojans this year.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: They look very very good. Right out of the gate,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: Meridian went to the air Trey. Alexander was six for
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: seven for sixty five yards on the opening drive, completing
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: passes to four different receivers that ended with a beautiful
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: middle screen to the tight end Daniel Larson, who took
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: it twenty five yards for a touchdown. The next drive,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: Alexander threw a great deep ball just felt perfectly in
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: the hands of River Todd for a forty nine yard touchdown,
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: and they were very, very pass happy, and they looked
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: very comfortable doing it. Alexander then threw his third touchdown
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: of the game to fellow junior case and Colp on
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: a really nice three yard corner route where you saw
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: the outside receiver cut in, the inside heaver cut out,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: and it's almost like it could be like a rub route,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: but it's not. They're just they're just running that way
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: and a dB can get confused. Alexander right on the
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: money to Colp. I believe that was case In Colpe's
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: first varsity catch too, So pretty pretty cool deal then
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: there as well. Dad Corey must be proud. Corey was
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: one heck of a playmaker on that state championship ninety
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: nine team. So really cool to see that Meridian up
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: twenty one nothing. They almost scored again right before the half,
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: kind of throwing a desperation ball up at the goal line.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: Pierce Berezowski nearly came down with it, but he did not.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: Berezowski also got some time at quarterback a couple of
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: different drives, was two of three passing, but Trey Alexander
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: looked like the real deal back there. He was twenty
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: one of twenty six for two hundred and forty five
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: yards and four touchdowns, the fourth one coming in the
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: third quarter on a pass to Daniel Larson, the big
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: six to five tight end, Larson with his second touchdown
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: catch of the game. Right there, Sager verk I thought
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: was great as a kicker. He looked great four for
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: four on extra points, booming kickoffs as well, so the
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: senior they found a great kicker and punter there. So
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: Meridian looking really really good. They held deer Park to
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: just ninety two yards of total offense on thirty nine plays,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: so just a little over two yards per play for
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: the entire game. They had actually held them to twenty
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: four yards total up into the four to forty mark
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: left in the game, and that was when the Stags
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: kind of ripped off a few big plays before scoring
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: their one yard touchdown run Meridian. You know, they didn't
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: run the ball a ton seventeen carries fIF fifty yards twenty.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: One of them came by Xavier Perry, who came in,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: who's the star linebacker, came in to play running back
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: in the final drive, ripped off a twenty one yard run,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: but it was the passing. Passing for two hundred and
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: fifty three yards as a team looked really really good.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: Daniel Larson caught seven passes for ninety eight yards and
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Todd caught seven passes for ninety yards and
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: the long touchdown, Casey Brennan six catches for fifty eight yards,
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: and case and Colpe caught three passes as well. So
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: great overall team effort. The defense, like I said, was fantastic.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: You know Xavier Perrin, you know, Surprise Surprise, seven and
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: a half tackles, one and a half tackles for loss,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: two quarterback sacks. He looked great. Pierce Brozowski from his
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: safety spot five and a half tackles, one tackle for loss,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: a pass broken up, and an interception. River Todd had
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: three tackles that were all behind the line of scrimmage.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: That was really cool to see. And Cooper Maram, who's
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: playing the edge spot, which is always a coveted spot
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: in that meridian defense. He had three and a half
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: tackles and one and a half tackles for loss. Also
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: shout out to Cooper converting from tight end to left
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: tackle this year and doing a pretty good job. And
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: that's you know, you got to give those kids shout
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: outs because they're giving up stats and numbers and accolades
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: and everything to help the team move the ball. So
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: him moving from tight end to left tackle, pretty cool deal.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: Gotta really love kids like that. Cooper Mariam is a
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: good one. So yeah, the Meridian program, you know, pretty
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: pretty exciting. I mean, like I said, they I think
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: that I think they're better than I thought they were
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: gonna be, if that makes any sense. I was really
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: really impressed. And you know, I was kind of going
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: into the year looking at the one a's like, well,
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: I think it's Lennon Christians to lose, and I think
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: Blaine's gonna have a lot of catching up to do,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: and I thought Meridian's probably fourth and then Nucksack and
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: Baker will fight it off for two and three. Now
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking Meridian and Nucksack and Baker are gonna have
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: to fight for two, three and four, and what if
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: they all beat each other? And then you got this
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: this whole thing they're gonna do with the tiebreaker again.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: You just never know. So it's gonna be it's gonna
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: be really really interesting. Don't look past the Trojans and
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: their air raid offense. It looked extremely sharp. And that's
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: that's the ten games that happened over the weekend. So
• 1:09:00

  Speaker 1: the Squalicum sophomore outside linebacker, and it was he did
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: put up great numbers, but it was more than that,

• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: had thirteen tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack, and
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: a pass broken up. But the pacity tip that ended
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: up getting intercepted the past, the time we hurried the

  Speaker 1: quarterback that caused the pick six. Those are big time
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: plays that do not show up on the staff book,

• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: usually don't, but man, I did in that game. When
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: I was watching the film, it was because I'm trying
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: to do stats, so I'm trying not to look at
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: the offensive lineman. But it stood out. He played a great,

  Speaker 1: great game, and I'm pumped that he's able to play
