Speaker 1: Greetings and welcome into the Whatcom Preps podcast. This is
0:13
Speaker 1: episode 441. It's the week one football recap and I
0:17
Speaker 1: am Tyler Anderson of Whatcom Preps and let's get right
0:20
Speaker 1: to it. But first, do you live in Whatcom, Skagit
0:24
Speaker 1: Island or San Juan County and want to become an official?
0:27
Speaker 1: Officiating is a great way to give back to our
0:29
Speaker 1: community and ensure our youth have an opportunity to compete
0:33
Speaker 1: in athletics. Go to nwofficials.com and find out how you
0:38
Speaker 1: can get involved. And that's one of the biggest reasons
0:41
Speaker 1: why there's games Thursdays and Saturdays, because there's a shortage
0:44
Speaker 1: on officials. So it's something to seriously think about. And
0:47
Speaker 1: if it starts dwindling, then there won't be any varsity sports.
0:51
Speaker 1: So get into it now. Get training. Work the youth stuff.
0:56
Speaker 1: Work your way up to varsity. And it can happen
0:59
Speaker 1: fast if you pick it up well. So it's definitely needed.
1:03
Speaker 1: So there were a lot of games over the weekend
1:05
Speaker 1: covering three days, like I was just saying. We're going
1:08
Speaker 1: to talk about all of them in chronological order, and
1:10
Speaker 1: we'll start with Lyndon Christian defeating Franklin Pierce on Thursday, 38-14.
1:16
Speaker 1: And even though that score does not sound close, it
1:18
Speaker 1: wasn't that close, as it was 38-0 at one point,
1:22
Speaker 1: 35-0 at the end of three quarters. The field goal
1:26
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the fourth quarter made it 38-0.
1:28
Speaker 1: A lot of backups in in the second half for
1:31
Speaker 1: the Lynx, and they just– they looked the part, my goodness,
1:36
Speaker 1: only ran 35 plays in the whole game and scored
1:40
Speaker 1: 38 points. So it was, you know, Franklin Pierce, they
1:43
Speaker 1: have that ball control offense, you know, football in a
1:47
Speaker 1: phone booth. Everybody's really close up front. I saw it
1:50
Speaker 1: up close. They had some linemen that were pushing three 40,
1:54
Speaker 1: three 50. And it's just, it's all about getting a,
1:58
Speaker 1: just a big massive humanity push and, you know, in
2:03
Speaker 1: four plays to try to get 10 yards and, you know,
2:05
Speaker 1: take the air out of the ball. And it was
2:09
Speaker 1: working a little bit in the beginning. They went forward
2:12
Speaker 1: on fourth down near midfield and their first drive, and
2:16
Speaker 1: it was an incomplete pass. He was open, but the
2:18
Speaker 1: ball was dropped. A rare, rare pass. Lenny Christian takes over,
2:23
Speaker 1: and then they just start running the heck out of
2:24
Speaker 1: the ball. Chris Coyman scores on a 14-yard touchdown run.
2:28
Speaker 1: Next possession, Franklin Pierce does the same thing. They're driving.
2:31
Speaker 1: They're driving. Things are looking okay. They end up going
2:34
Speaker 1: for a pass. It gets intercepted by Grant Adams near
2:37
Speaker 1: the goal line. He brings it out to better field position,
2:43
Speaker 1: and the Lynx take over from there where they start
2:46
Speaker 1: throwing the ball down the field. Dawson Hines, with his
2:50
Speaker 1: first start at quarterback, he goes four for four for
2:53
Speaker 1: 124 yards and a touchdown. He throws a touchdown pass.
2:57
Speaker 1: to Jackson Yoon in the second quarter that covered 35 yards.
3:00
Speaker 1: Yoon just sat in the zone there, caught the pass,
3:03
Speaker 1: made some nifty footwork, and got into the end zone untouched,
3:07
Speaker 1: and then he kicks his own extra point. In the
3:11
Speaker 1: end of the second quarter, Chris Coyman scores again on
3:13
Speaker 1: an eight-yard run and a really nifty play that was
3:16
Speaker 1: designed very well. The offensive line for the Lynx did
3:20
Speaker 1: a great job. They were also without their all-state returning
3:24
Speaker 1: lineman in Kyler Sturck, so some guys getting some playing
3:27
Speaker 1: time for the first time at the high level, varsity level,
3:31
Speaker 1: doing really, really well, and they were up 21-0 at
3:34
Speaker 1: the half. Right off the bat, to begin the second half,
3:38
Speaker 1: first play from scrimmage, Lyndon Christian scores on another touchdown
3:42
Speaker 1: run by Chris Coyman, this one covering 44 yards, and
3:45
Speaker 1: then he's out for the rest of the game as
3:47
Speaker 1: this game is well in hand. Wyatt Camphouse moves from
3:50
Speaker 1: receiver to running back, and he scores on a 10-yard
3:54
Speaker 1: touchdown run in the third quarter. And then Jackson Yoon
3:56
Speaker 1: with the 42-yard field goal to begin the fourth quarter.
4:00
Speaker 1: A lot of good things. I mean, offense, defense, special teams,
4:03
Speaker 1: they all came to play. Did a really, really good
4:06
Speaker 1: job in handling a team that made it to the
4:09
Speaker 1: quarterfinals of the 2A state tournament last year. So for
4:14
Speaker 1: the Lynx, leading the way on the ground was Chris Coyman,
4:16
Speaker 1: who had eight carries for 112 yards. Wyatt Camphouse, five
4:20
Speaker 1: carries for 35 yards. Dawson Hines, four carries for 33 yards.
4:25
Speaker 1: As I mentioned earlier, Heinz was four for four for
4:28
Speaker 1: 124 yards and a touchdown. Kellen Blankers came in in
4:31
Speaker 1: the second half and was two for four for 59 yards.
4:34
Speaker 1: In receiving, Caden Veldman caught two deep passes for 85 yards.
4:38
Speaker 1: Jackson Yoon with the 35-yard touchdown reception. Will McImer, Justin Kiewik,
4:45
Speaker 1: and Wyatt Kamphaus each had a catch as well. I
4:48
Speaker 1: tell you what, the links looked very good. And I
4:51
Speaker 1: was kind of talking about this last year, too. I
4:52
Speaker 1: remember they looked great. when they played Vancouver College in
4:57
Speaker 1: week one, that was up there. It's weird to say
5:00
Speaker 1: up there because everyone else is down, but they're up.
5:04
Speaker 1: And I said it last year at this time. I
5:06
Speaker 1: was like, they look like they're in mid-season form. And
5:09
Speaker 1: it appeared that way for the Lynx as well. They
5:11
Speaker 1: looked fantastic. A lot of people ask me questions about
5:16
Speaker 1: teams around this time of year, especially late August, early September.
5:21
Speaker 1: And the question I get asked the most is, what
5:24
Speaker 1: team from Whatcom County has the best chance of making
5:27
Speaker 1: the deepest run? I mean, that question gets asked over
5:29
Speaker 1: and over again. And the first thing that always pops
5:32
Speaker 1: in my mind is Linden Christian. Now, it's hard to
5:34
Speaker 1: say anything after, you know, you haven't seen any games
5:37
Speaker 1: or anything yet. But I would usually answer Linden Christian
5:41
Speaker 1: or Linden. And after watching that game, it's really easy
5:45
Speaker 1: to say why. So I feel, you know, still pretty
5:48
Speaker 1: good about that. Although some other teams looked pretty good
5:51
Speaker 1: as well. And we'll get to that in a little bit.
5:53
Speaker 1: There was another game on Thursday night, just right down
5:58
Speaker 1: I-5 there. I was able to make it to a
6:00
Speaker 1: little bit of both of these games. I basically watched
6:02
Speaker 1: the first quarter of both of these Thursday night games
6:05
Speaker 1: before heading over to a volleyball game. But this was
6:08
Speaker 1: Bellingham hosting Archbishop Murphy at Civic Stadium. Of course, the
6:12
Speaker 1: Wildcats are the defending 2A state champions. And they looked
6:17
Speaker 1: every bit the part in this, especially in the first half.
6:19
Speaker 1: And in the first quarter alone, scoring five touchdowns in
6:22
Speaker 1: the first quarter. all on long plays, 47-yard touchdown run,
6:26
Speaker 1: 39-yard touchdown pass, 70-yard touchdown run, 34-yard touchdown pass, and
6:31
Speaker 1: a 15-yard touchdown run. Those are all in the first quarter.
6:35
Speaker 1: Archbishop then scores twice more in the second quarter to
6:40
Speaker 1: end the first half up 48-0. It was a scoreless
6:44
Speaker 1: third quarter, but there were some good things that were
6:46
Speaker 1: happening for Bellingham at that point. You know, it was...
6:51
Speaker 1: Ben Leonard connecting with Matthew Steele a few times, twice
6:55
Speaker 1: for touchdowns, twice more on long plays. Matthew Steele, not
7:00
Speaker 1: at 100%, but able to go up and get the
7:03
Speaker 1: ball at the high point. He showed just what kind
7:05
Speaker 1: of a dynamic wide receiver he is. We've seen a
7:07
Speaker 1: lot of him on the defensive side of the ball,
7:09
Speaker 1: but I'm excited to see what he does this year
7:11
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball. I think he
7:13
Speaker 1: could be really, really special. Statistically wise, Offensively, MJ Maena
7:19
Speaker 1: led Bellingham in rushing 19 carries for 25 yards. Ben Leonard,
7:23
Speaker 1: 8 of 18 through the air for 115 yards and
7:27
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Matthew Steele, the main recipient, with six catches
7:31
Speaker 1: for 101 yards and those two touchdowns. James Button and
7:35
Speaker 1: MJ Maena also had a reception. On the defensive side
7:39
Speaker 1: of the ball, Max Pham did some really good things.
7:42
Speaker 1: He recovered a fumble on a punt. He also forced
7:46
Speaker 1: a fumble. but did them both, I think, in the
7:48
Speaker 1: same quarter. So making his presence known as a cornerback.
7:53
Speaker 1: MJ Maena had two and a half tackles. He also
7:55
Speaker 1: recovered a fumble. And Calvin Van Hoffweg and the linebacker
7:58
Speaker 1: led with four tackles. Bellaham, you know, that's a tough
8:03
Speaker 1: one right out of the gate to play the state champs. But,
8:06
Speaker 1: you know, you talk to people and it's like, it's
8:07
Speaker 1: kind of nice to get that one out of the way.
8:10
Speaker 1: And they were missing a ton of players. And not
8:12
Speaker 1: just that, but a ton of key players. So, you know, Bellaham,
8:18
Speaker 1: it'll be a little different this upcoming week playing Sultan,
8:22
Speaker 1: and I think it'll be a much more competitive game,
8:25
Speaker 1: and we'll see if Bellingham can take care of business
8:28
Speaker 1: in that one. But in this one, it was Archbishop
8:31
Speaker 1: Murphy 55, Bellingham 15, and that closes out the Thursday
8:36
Speaker 1: night games as we go to Friday. And the first
8:39
Speaker 1: game that started was a 6 o'clock game as Mount
8:41
Speaker 1: Baker hosted Port Angeles, the third year in a row
8:44
Speaker 1: that they're opening up the season against each other. And
8:49
Speaker 1: every year it's gotten to be more and more of
8:51
Speaker 1: a blowout this year. It was no different. It was,
8:54
Speaker 1: it was 56 to six, the Mountaineers all over the
8:57
Speaker 1: rough riders. And it was right out of the gate too.
8:59
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a touchdown run on play one.
9:02
Speaker 1: No one, a cool Mills goes 79 yards for a touchdown.
9:06
Speaker 1: You know, it's so funny. The thing that when, when
9:07
Speaker 1: people ask me about Mount Baker, about how they're going
9:10
Speaker 1: to be this year, the first thing I would always
9:12
Speaker 1: say is, you know, last year it was the big
9:15
Speaker 1: plays and, you know, it was a lot of one
9:18
Speaker 1: or two play drives that covered 80 yards and, you know,
9:22
Speaker 1: they would beat you by four scores, but three of
9:25
Speaker 1: those scores were 50 plus yard touchdown runs or passes.
9:28
Speaker 1: And I said, this year it'll be a little different.
9:31
Speaker 1: They'll be, they'll beat you by two or three scores,
9:34
Speaker 1: but all those touchdown drives are going to take up
9:37
Speaker 1: a big chunk of the clock. And that's just kind
9:39
Speaker 1: of the way they're built this year. And then what
9:42
Speaker 1: happens first play from scrimmage, they run for a 79
9:44
Speaker 1: yard touchdown, make me look like an idiot. So Noah
9:47
Speaker 1: Nicole Mills, awesome job on that. I love being made
9:51
Speaker 1: looked like an idiot. And so that's totally fine with me.
9:55
Speaker 1: He also scores two more short touchdown runs in the
9:58
Speaker 1: first half. Also in the first quarter, they got Port
10:01
Speaker 1: Angeles backed up quite a bit where Trey Galbraith was
10:04
Speaker 1: able to break through, block a punt at, you know,
10:08
Speaker 1: about the eight or nine yard line. The ball goes
10:11
Speaker 1: onto the ground near the goal line. It's picked up
10:13
Speaker 1: by Gunnar McGrath, who scores a touchdown. And yeah, I mean,
10:17
Speaker 1: it was all Mount Baker. What was really fun to
10:20
Speaker 1: see was in the second quarter, there was a couple
10:22
Speaker 1: different kids that got carries, and both of them, on
10:25
Speaker 1: their first carry of the game, of the season, just
10:29
Speaker 1: like Noah Nicole Mills earlier in the game, they went
10:32
Speaker 1: for touchdowns. So the first carry of the season for
10:34
Speaker 1: a Nock Smith went 35 yards for a touchdown. The
10:37
Speaker 1: first carry of the season for Juan Mapes went 33
10:40
Speaker 1: yards for a touchdown. So it was just crazy how
10:43
Speaker 1: these kids, that shows me that they're ready to play.
10:46
Speaker 1: And boy... It looked pretty darn good. There's some really
10:51
Speaker 1: good things going on there. I want to say it's
10:54
Speaker 1: the first official carry of Enoch Smith. I think earlier
10:57
Speaker 1: they tried to get him the ball, and it was
10:59
Speaker 1: a mishandled handoff and stuff like that. And then it
11:03
Speaker 1: was recovered by Tyson Barksdale, the quarterback, so he ended
11:07
Speaker 1: up getting the carry on that. So it was the
11:09
Speaker 1: first clean carry on the game for Enoch Smith. Later
11:14
Speaker 1: on in the first half, They've already subbed in a
11:17
Speaker 1: bunch of backups. Trey Galbraith in at quarterback. He has
11:21
Speaker 1: a five-yard touchdown run, and Mount Baker was up 49-0
11:25
Speaker 1: at the half. In the second half, remaining with the backups,
11:29
Speaker 1: Mount Baker's Trey Galbraith once again, this time back to pass,
11:33
Speaker 1: and he hits Pepe McAvoy Salgado for a 39-yard touchdown. And, yeah,
11:40
Speaker 1: it was... There's a lot of good things there for
11:43
Speaker 1: Mount Baker. And Knox Smith also goes eight for eight
11:46
Speaker 1: on extra points. They run for 348 yards and average
11:51
Speaker 1: over 10 yards of carry. They completed four out of
11:53
Speaker 1: their five passes as a team for 82 yards. So
11:56
Speaker 1: as a team, they, boy, what do they have? 430
12:00
Speaker 1: yards of total offense and did it in 38 plays.
12:07
Speaker 1: So you're averaging well over 10 yards of play for
12:10
Speaker 1: the entire game. Port Angeles did come in and score
12:14
Speaker 1: extremely late in the game against the backups and maybe
12:17
Speaker 1: some of the backups' backups. But it was a good
12:20
Speaker 1: overall game for the Mountaineers that spread the wealth. A
12:23
Speaker 1: lot of guys got touches. A lot of guys got
12:25
Speaker 1: to play. Noah Nicole Mills and Juan Mapes had identical
12:29
Speaker 1: stat lines. Both had five carries for 89 yards. Nicole
12:33
Speaker 1: Mills had three touchdowns, and Mapes had one. Andrew Monteith
12:38
Speaker 1: had four carries for 46 yards. Anak Smith, two carries
12:41
Speaker 1: for 43 yards. Isaac DeCreek, four carries for 38 yards.
12:45
Speaker 1: Gage Smith, two carries for 26 yards. So you get
12:48
Speaker 1: the idea. A lot of these guys averaging over 10
12:50
Speaker 1: yards a carry for the game. And it was just,
12:54
Speaker 1: you know, it was just pure dominance. Offensive line did
12:57
Speaker 1: a great, great job. In the passing game, Tyson Barksdale
13:01
Speaker 1: was two for three for 24 yards. Trey Galbraith, two
13:04
Speaker 1: for two for 58 yards. And then out of those
13:06
Speaker 1: four receptions, they went to four different players. Pepe McAvoy-Sagaldo
13:11
Speaker 1: with a 39-yard touchdown catch. Noah Nicole Mills with an
13:14
Speaker 1: 18-yard reception. Jayden Louie with a 19-yard reception. And Zion
13:18
Speaker 1: Paglia with a six-yard catch. So a lot of good
13:21
Speaker 1: things offensively. On the defensive side of the ball, Gunnar
13:24
Speaker 1: McGrath with three tackles. He also had that touchdown on
13:28
Speaker 1: the blocked punt. Trey Galbraith blocked the punt. He also
13:31
Speaker 1: knocked down a pass from his defensive end spot. He
13:35
Speaker 1: also had three tackles. Kel Reardon had a sack. That
13:40
Speaker 1: was good to see with him. Silas Maple had a sack.
13:43
Speaker 1: Jaden Nicole Mills had five tackles. He also recovered a fumble,
13:47
Speaker 1: knocked down a pass. I thought Isaac DeCreek played really
13:50
Speaker 1: well at linebacker. Three and a half tackles, a tackle
13:52
Speaker 1: for loss, and a pass knocked down. So a lot
13:55
Speaker 1: of different guys doing things. Nock Smith had an interception
13:59
Speaker 1: that he was a yard away from returning it all
14:01
Speaker 1: the way for a touchdown. So again, A lot of
14:04
Speaker 1: good things for Mount Baker. You know, I was talking
14:06
Speaker 1: about when I was talking about the Linden Christian game
14:08
Speaker 1: and talking about, you know, teams that had a great
14:10
Speaker 1: week one that looks, you know, look like the mid-season form.
14:14
Speaker 1: Mount Baker falls right in that category as well after
14:17
Speaker 1: that fantastic win out at Bob Tisdale Field. For our
14:22
Speaker 1: next game out at Civic Stadium is the only game
14:25
Speaker 1: that had the two Whatcom County teams facing each other.
14:28
Speaker 1: We're going to go to the Coach's Corner with our coach,
14:31
Speaker 1: Jeff Wood. Coach, thank you so much for joining us.
14:33
Speaker 1: How are you doing?
14:35
Speaker 2: I'm doing great, Tyler. It's good to be back. Football season.
14:41
Speaker 1: I know. It just sneaks up on you, and you're
14:43
Speaker 1: probably used to it, being a coach, being a teacher.
14:46
Speaker 1: You're kind of used to your routine, probably, and you
14:49
Speaker 1: know when it's coming, but doesn't it feel like every
14:51
Speaker 1: year the summers get shorter?
14:52
Speaker 2: Sure.
14:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, a little bit.
14:56
Speaker 2: I've been out a couple years now from coaching, so
15:02
Speaker 2: it's actually the summers are longer because I'm not coaching
15:05
Speaker 2: in August or doing seven-on-seven all summer and all that
15:10
Speaker 2: sort of stuff. Summers are actually a little bit longer
15:14
Speaker 2: for me.
15:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, that's good. I like to hear that. Probably
15:17
Speaker 1: a few trips to Montana and all that kind of stuff,
15:20
Speaker 1: I'm sure you you find things to fill the calendar.
15:24
Speaker 1: But what you were filling the calendar with in week
15:26
Speaker 1: one was being out at Civic Stadium to see the
15:31
Speaker 1: only game in Whatcom County that had two Whatcom County
15:33
Speaker 1: teams against each other. It was Squalicum and Sehome out
15:37
Speaker 1: at Civic Stadium. And you were out there. What was
15:42
Speaker 1: the vibe? Because week ones can be kind of weird,
15:45
Speaker 1: but it being a rivalry game right off the bat,
15:48
Speaker 1: did it have that feel of a rivalry game? Oh,
15:51
Speaker 1: for sure.
15:52
Speaker 2: It had great energy, big crowd, Seaholm on the home
15:58
Speaker 2: side and Squalicum on the visitor side and student sections
16:04
Speaker 2: and bands and parents. And, you know, it's a very,
16:09
Speaker 2: very big game. And kids know each other from growing
16:13
Speaker 2: up playing on, you know, same teams, different teams. And
16:18
Speaker 2: so it was, yeah, it was a great scene. And
16:21
Speaker 2: it's tough playing your first game that means so much
16:25
Speaker 2: like a rivalry game like that.
16:26
Speaker 1: Right like squalicum the last few years have played burlington
16:30
Speaker 1: to open up the season and even though i don't
16:34
Speaker 1: know if that's a huge rivalry or anything but it
16:36
Speaker 1: ended up being a pretty important game especially last year
16:39
Speaker 1: as that game was really the determination of if you
16:42
Speaker 1: were in the postseason or not and i kind of
16:44
Speaker 1: felt this one might have that similar feel as well
16:47
Speaker 1: which is tough in week one to have that everything
16:49
Speaker 1: right on it of course we don't know what's going
16:51
Speaker 1: to happen in the rest of the season. But one
16:54
Speaker 1: thing I wanted to ask you about was, and the
16:57
Speaker 1: buzz for the last month or so was this new
17:01
Speaker 1: squalicum offense. You know, they didn't play in a jamboree.
17:04
Speaker 1: I don't, I really don't think they wanted to show
17:06
Speaker 1: people what they were going to be changing into. I
17:09
Speaker 1: couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the, um, a
17:12
Speaker 1: quarterback takes snap from under center with Nick Lucy on
17:16
Speaker 1: the sideline. I just, I don't know if I'd ever
17:18
Speaker 1: seen that before. Um, what did you think? Did you
17:21
Speaker 1: know anything going into this or did you kind of
17:23
Speaker 1: go in blind?
17:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd kind of seen a little bit with some
17:27
Speaker 2: of their, uh, scrimmage in the spring and kind of, uh,
17:31
Speaker 2: had heard of the change. And I mean, that's one,
17:36
Speaker 2: it's a thing that, uh, really shows a good coach
17:41
Speaker 2: that he adapts his schemes for his players. And you
17:45
Speaker 2: have to do that at high school level to some extent.
17:48
Speaker 2: But Nick Lucy, you know, he saw his personnel and
17:53
Speaker 2: he's like, you know, thinking to himself, probably this isn't
17:56
Speaker 2: going to work with what I normally do. So he's
17:59
Speaker 2: got a lot of good running backs and running quarterback. And,
18:04
Speaker 2: you know, so he switched it up.
18:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. I mean, the defense still looked like the
18:09
Speaker 1: Squalicum defense, the swarming 3-4 we've been seeing forever. And
18:13
Speaker 1: every year it seems like they score three or four
18:15
Speaker 1: defensive touchdowns. They're just very opportunistic. And they pitched the
18:20
Speaker 1: shutout against Seaholm. Seaholm came back with a lot of
18:25
Speaker 1: new faces on that varsity roster. Maybe not on the roster,
18:29
Speaker 1: but in the starting lineups, let's just say. uh, obviously
18:32
Speaker 1: the stalwarts there, Logan Rogers has been doing great stuff
18:36
Speaker 1: for a while. Uh, Elias Lada, Devin Banks, and those guys,
18:39
Speaker 1: Nikki Smith, you know, Gunnar Anderson, we've been, we've seen
18:42
Speaker 1: these guys, um, a little bit, you know, the last
18:45
Speaker 1: year or two for some of them, but it was
18:47
Speaker 1: a lot of new faces, uh, for, for see home. And, and, um, was,
18:52
Speaker 1: was there anybody that, that kind of stood out to
18:55
Speaker 1: you for see home that you hadn't really seen play
18:57
Speaker 1: varsity level yet?
18:59
Speaker 2: Um, you know, uh, Jad Geiger, great athlete, baseball player, pitcher.
19:06
Speaker 2: You know, he's taken over from a four-year starting quarterback,
19:10
Speaker 2: and that's always tough to do, to be the new
19:14
Speaker 2: guy under center. And, you know, just his athletic ability,
19:20
Speaker 2: his strong arm, you know, it's a pretty balanced attack,
19:24
Speaker 2: but just, you know, being the guy that's, you know,
19:30
Speaker 2: And he made some good passes. He had Gunnar Andersen
19:32
Speaker 2: catching the ball and a couple other guys. But that's
19:37
Speaker 2: a tough game to go into week one against a
19:41
Speaker 2: quality opponent and a defense that's bringing the heat.
19:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was you know, a scoreless first quarter. You know,
19:51
Speaker 1: not turnovers, but penalties and just different things. A very,
19:55
Speaker 1: you know, normal week one thing to see there. But
19:59
Speaker 1: the second quarter, Squalicum starts to do a few things.
20:02
Speaker 1: Talk about kind of what happened there. They got the
20:04
Speaker 1: touchdown and kicked a couple field goals.
20:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, they just, you know, both teams had a lot
20:10
Speaker 2: of penalties, which happens definitely on week one. And Squalicum
20:16
Speaker 2: was just able to overcome those penalties just a little
20:20
Speaker 2: bit better and execute as the game went on. And
20:25
Speaker 2: especially in their kicking game. I mean, in the high
20:29
Speaker 2: school level.
20:29
Speaker 1: I mean, at any level.
20:31
Speaker 2: We always talked about it's one-third of the game. And
20:35
Speaker 2: putting up two field goals where, you know, a lot
20:39
Speaker 2: of times if you're in that situation, it's, you know,
20:42
Speaker 2: you're on the 20 or 15 yard line, it's fourth
20:46
Speaker 2: and seven, you're going for it. And yeah, great if
20:49
Speaker 2: you get it and you might score a touchdown. But
20:51
Speaker 2: if you don't, you're coming away empty handed. And they
20:53
Speaker 2: were able to get, you know, six points out of
20:57
Speaker 2: a couple drives there with field goals. So that and
21:01
Speaker 2: the punting game, the kicking game. The special teams were
21:06
Speaker 2: definitely a big point. And it's, you know, you look
21:09
Speaker 2: at the final score, it's 26-0. But this was a,
21:12
Speaker 2: you know, a 13-0 game, two-score game for the majority
21:16
Speaker 2: of the game into the fourth quarter.
21:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. I think that when you look at the
21:22
Speaker 1: final score, as a lot of people do, they just
21:24
Speaker 1: kind of look at it and go, oh, wow. And
21:25
Speaker 1: then that's it, right? They move on. But you're right.
21:28
Speaker 1: For most of that game, it was very, very close.
21:31
Speaker 1: I mean, it was... I kept looking over, you know,
21:34
Speaker 1: when we were doing our live show, I kept looking
21:36
Speaker 1: over at that game and I had it actually on
21:38
Speaker 1: my laptop off to the side. Um, so we could
21:41
Speaker 1: see it a little bit bigger and, and for a
21:44
Speaker 1: long time, it just looked like it was zero, zero forever.
21:46
Speaker 1: And that was, you know, they're just little bits by
21:49
Speaker 1: little bits. It was, it never felt like a blowout
21:52
Speaker 1: at all. Um, and they get those, they get those
21:54
Speaker 1: touchdowns late, you know, talk about Asher Osby Ornson. Um,
21:58
Speaker 1: he's a kid that, that played running back last year,
22:01
Speaker 1: did some really good things. was an outside linebacker, scored
22:04
Speaker 1: a couple defensive touchdowns last year. Just a playmaker that
22:08
Speaker 1: seems to be able to hit full speed pretty quickly.
22:12
Speaker 1: When you have a quarterback in this kind of offense,
22:16
Speaker 1: it's kind of resembling of like a wing T type offense.
22:20
Speaker 1: Having a mobile quarterback, just explain what that can do
22:25
Speaker 1: for a defense when you're trying to prep for a
22:27
Speaker 1: team like that.
22:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, defensively, I mean, you got to defend defensively. the
22:32
Speaker 2: plus one. And that's, that's hard to do, especially just
22:37
Speaker 2: with the athletic quarterback that he is, but he's also,
22:41
Speaker 2: you know, coming from the running back background and the
22:44
Speaker 2: lower center of gravity, he really, you know, strong legs,
22:48
Speaker 2: breaking tackles. And he's seems like, you know, even with,
22:54
Speaker 2: you know, starting that new offense just in the spring,
22:58
Speaker 2: seems like he had a, a pretty good command of
23:01
Speaker 2: it and some leadership coming out of the huddle. And
23:03
Speaker 2: then he's got some other various guys that he's handing
23:08
Speaker 2: the ball off to. So it's really tough when you're
23:11
Speaker 2: playing defense and you've got to be sound on your
23:14
Speaker 2: assignments and misdirection and different guys coming around the end
23:20
Speaker 2: and up the middle. They even had Hunter Callaway take
23:23
Speaker 2: a couple handoffs. So, overall, Seaholm did a great job
23:28
Speaker 2: on defense, great tackling. You know, the very end of
23:32
Speaker 2: the game, a couple big hitters there for Squall with
23:36
Speaker 2: their breakaways. But, yeah, I was impressed with Seaholm's tackling,
23:41
Speaker 2: especially from the linebackers.
23:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's kind of where they had some experience,
23:47
Speaker 1: you know, coming back with Elias Lada, Devin Bankson, Evan Hatzell,
23:52
Speaker 1: Cash Barnes. A lot of these guys played well. last year.
23:56
Speaker 1: And so that was, you know, kind of something that
23:58
Speaker 1: they could hang their hat on defensively. But I tell
24:01
Speaker 1: you what, it seems like when I was, when I
24:03
Speaker 1: was doing that show live on Friday night and I
24:05
Speaker 1: kept looking over, I kept seeing Logan Rogers in the backfield,
24:09
Speaker 1: just making plays. I mean, explain how, how, how good
24:14
Speaker 1: he is and just what he's like to watch in person,
24:17
Speaker 1: because sometimes he looks like he's unblockable and he's, he
24:20
Speaker 1: can just come through, make, make plays. And he's just
24:23
Speaker 1: such a great player.
24:24
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, he's a physical, strong, but still athletic,
24:31
Speaker 2: great feet, great hands, and super smart kid, 4.0, so
24:36
Speaker 2: he knows what he's doing with his strategy. So pretty,
24:41
Speaker 2: pretty dang difficult to block one-on-one, and even with two guys.
24:45
Speaker 2: So he was making plays on both sides of the ball,
24:50
Speaker 2: you know, throughout the night. But Squalicum... You know, Squalicum,
24:55
Speaker 2: they kept executing, and they were able to, you know,
24:59
Speaker 2: do what they had to do to get the win.
25:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. I mean, you talk about, like, those two
25:04
Speaker 1: breaking plays. Obviously, the one that went for the touchdown
25:07
Speaker 1: from Oz Bjornsson, the 68-yard run, and then the big
25:11
Speaker 1: run late that Maddox Strickland had to set up the
25:14
Speaker 1: final touchdown run of the game. I mean, you take
25:17
Speaker 1: those two runs out, and the yards are pretty similar
25:20
Speaker 1: on both sides. um so I agree with you uh
25:25
Speaker 1: Seaholm you know Seaholm's defense did pretty good it was
25:28
Speaker 1: just when they happened to be able to get to
25:30
Speaker 1: the outside and those guys are speedsters I mean Maddox
25:33
Speaker 1: Strickland was a guy that was taking off last year
25:36
Speaker 1: before he hurt his I think it was his spleen
25:38
Speaker 1: or it was something against Anacortes and he was out
25:41
Speaker 1: the rest of the year um but then he comes
25:44
Speaker 1: back in soccer and Scores twice as many goals as
25:47
Speaker 1: the second place guy. He's a tremendous soccer player. So
25:51
Speaker 1: I even heard on the loudspeaker that I think there
25:54
Speaker 1: was a kickoff that Maddox Strickland was returning and Bane
25:58
Speaker 1: Mitchell tackled him. And I kind of laughed because I thought, boy,
26:02
Speaker 1: those two guys battling in soccer, that's the best offensive
26:05
Speaker 1: player and defensive player that Whatcom County has in soccer.
26:08
Speaker 1: And there they just met on the football field. So
26:11
Speaker 1: that's pretty awesome, too. Uh, coach, uh, thank you so
26:14
Speaker 1: much for your time and, uh, I'll look forward to
26:17
Speaker 1: talking to you next week. Okay, great.
26:20
Speaker 2: Thanks Tyler.
26:21
Speaker 1: All right. There you have it from coach Wood himself.
26:23
Speaker 1: He was on the field for that game and, and, uh,
26:27
Speaker 1: you know, we'll have to see going forward the trajectory
26:30
Speaker 1: of both of those teams and, and, uh, you know,
26:33
Speaker 1: we'll see, uh, see Holmes got a tough one this next,
26:35
Speaker 1: this next, well, they both, they both have extremely tough
26:38
Speaker 1: games coming up this, this weekend. And, We'll talk about
26:41
Speaker 1: that on the next podcast, which will be the Gatorade
26:43
Speaker 1: Game Day podcast, the Gatorade Game Day preview podcast, where
26:48
Speaker 1: we talk about all the games coming up this week,
26:50
Speaker 1: and we'll be able to hear from all the coaches
26:52
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. The next game up, Linden beating
26:57
Speaker 1: Sultan 49-0. It reminded me a lot of the Mount
27:01
Speaker 1: Baker game, except for this is a conference game now
27:04
Speaker 1: with Sultan joining the Northwest Conference. I thought the Turks
27:07
Speaker 1: played really well, especially in the first quarter. They're big.
27:10
Speaker 1: They're physical. Linden only able to get the one touchdown
27:14
Speaker 1: early on in the first quarter. That was a 35-yard
27:17
Speaker 1: pass from Austin Postman to Sam Arango. They were going
27:21
Speaker 1: to Arango quite a bit early on as he's kind
27:24
Speaker 1: of the established receiver of the group. And after one quarter,
27:27
Speaker 1: it's 7-0. But Linden explodes in the second quarter and
27:32
Speaker 1: scored 28 points alone. And so four touchdowns there in
27:36
Speaker 1: the second quarter. Both quarterbacks, Gordie Bedlington and Austin Postma,
27:40
Speaker 1: each score on one-yard touchdown runs. Bedlington did a great
27:44
Speaker 1: job late in the second quarter finding Lincoln Van Rye
27:47
Speaker 1: in the back of the end zone. He was buying time,
27:48
Speaker 1: buying time, was able to throw a beautiful pass that
27:53
Speaker 1: Lincoln Van Rye caught in the back of the end zone.
27:55
Speaker 1: So that was a 22-yard touchdown run. And then Austin
27:58
Speaker 1: Postma with a 64-yard pick six, just learning the position
28:03
Speaker 1: of safety. They moved some things around. They moved Gordy
28:07
Speaker 1: Bedlington to corner, so there was an opening at safety.
28:10
Speaker 1: Austin Postman goes and plays there after being a defensive
28:13
Speaker 1: end all these years, and he makes a play like that.
28:17
Speaker 1: The ball is tipped up in the air, and right
28:20
Speaker 1: away you could see as soon as he intercepted it,
28:23
Speaker 1: Linden's defense turns into offense, and they just went right
28:28
Speaker 1: down and scored on that play, a 64-yard touchdown return.
28:32
Speaker 1: In the third quarter, Postman remained a quarterback, scored on
28:35
Speaker 1: an 18-yard touchdown run, And then Jace Bayes in the
28:38
Speaker 1: third quarterback, he also scored, he scored on a 10
28:42
Speaker 1: yard touchdown run. So a lot of, a lot of
28:46
Speaker 1: different guys, again, very, very much similar to the Mount
28:50
Speaker 1: Baker game. A lot of guys doing good things, getting
28:54
Speaker 1: playing time. Jax Maggard, five for five on extra points.
28:57
Speaker 1: Austin Postma kicked a couple extra points. Very, very even.
29:02
Speaker 1: Lyndon running the ball 32 times for 162 yards and
29:05
Speaker 1: went 15 of 18 through the air, which is an
29:08
Speaker 1: incredible number, throwing the ball for 227 yards. Statistically, Austin
29:14
Speaker 1: Postma leading the way on the ground with 51 yards
29:17
Speaker 1: on five carries. Miguel Lopez, 50 yards on six carries.
29:20
Speaker 1: Dawson Van Dalen ran for 36 yards. Bayesden ran for 21.
29:25
Speaker 1: In the air, Gordie Bedlington was four of seven for
29:27
Speaker 1: 67 yards. and a touchdown. Austin Postman was 6 of
29:31
Speaker 1: 6 for 131 yards and a touchdown. And Jace Bazden
29:36
Speaker 1: was five for five for 29 yards. So very accurate.
29:41
Speaker 1: Sam Arango, big day in receiving five catches for 119
29:45
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. On the defensive side of the ball,
29:49
Speaker 1: like I said, it was Postman who put up the big,
29:52
Speaker 1: you know, the most monster club points or however you
29:55
Speaker 1: want to call it. But he did have the pick six,
29:57
Speaker 1: which was huge to go along with his three tackles.
30:00
Speaker 1: I thought Drayden Jarmusch was awesome. Um, he had four
30:03
Speaker 1: and a half tackles, the new, one of the new
30:06
Speaker 1: defensive linemen for the Linden lions. And I, I think
30:09
Speaker 1: he's a really good one to keep an eye on.
30:11
Speaker 1: I'm really excited for him. Adam Holman had six tackles
30:15
Speaker 1: wearing that number zero on his chest. Um, yeah, really
30:19
Speaker 1: good things. Lincoln Van Rye had a sack or I'm sorry,
30:22
Speaker 1: not Lincoln or right. Caden Brown had a sack and
30:25
Speaker 1: a forced fumble. Um, that's a big, strong six, four, six,
30:29
Speaker 1: five senior coming off the edge. So, you know, Linden,
30:33
Speaker 1: they just reload and that's, you know, that's, there's no
30:38
Speaker 1: secret to that. That's just the way they are. They're
30:40
Speaker 1: extremely good. They're always going to be good and they're
30:42
Speaker 1: extremely well coached and they play the right way and,
30:46
Speaker 1: and they'll hit you hard and then they'll help you up.
30:48
Speaker 1: And that's, that's kind of the Linden way. And, and
30:51
Speaker 1: I'm just glad that they're in our area and they
30:54
Speaker 1: do a fantastic job and, And they really, really looked
30:57
Speaker 1: strong in that week one game. Another week one game,
31:01
Speaker 1: this was very much a back and forth game, was
31:04
Speaker 1: Meridian on the road against Liberty Bell. This one being
31:08
Speaker 1: played east of the mountains. And I tell you what,
31:11
Speaker 1: the quarterback for Liberty Bell was impressive. He could really
31:15
Speaker 1: wing it around, but he was extremely quick when he
31:18
Speaker 1: needed to run. And early on, it was back and forth,
31:22
Speaker 1: back and forth. Liberty Bell scored first. They didn't have
31:25
Speaker 1: the lead for very long as the ensuing kickoff was
31:28
Speaker 1: returned 78 yards for a touchdown by Casey Brennan, and
31:33
Speaker 1: Meridian led 7-6 after that. Liberty Bell scores again on
31:37
Speaker 1: a touchdown pass, but Meridian comes back. Trey Alexander finds
31:42
Speaker 1: Braden Fisher over the middle for a 50-yard touchdown pass.
31:46
Speaker 1: Braden Fisher caught the ball with two guys on either
31:48
Speaker 1: side that had the angle on him, but he just
31:50
Speaker 1: turned on the afterburners and ran, just split them right
31:53
Speaker 1: and down the middle. and really showed me some speed that,
31:57
Speaker 1: I mean, Braden Fisher's got the size, you know, he's
31:59
Speaker 1: got the hands, all that stuff. I didn't know that
32:02
Speaker 1: he was this fast. So that really stood out to me.
32:06
Speaker 1: He's going to be a problem for years to come,
32:07
Speaker 1: just a sophomore. So he scores on that touchdown to
32:10
Speaker 1: give Meridian the lead once again. Liberty Bell then scores
32:14
Speaker 1: a touchdown, and they take the lead. But Meridian answers
32:18
Speaker 1: back with Jackson Fannestiel on a two-yard touchdown run. And
32:22
Speaker 1: it was just like, that's what it was like. It
32:23
Speaker 1: was back and forth, back and forth. Liberty Bell always
32:26
Speaker 1: went for two and never got it. And Meridian, they
32:30
Speaker 1: connected on the extra point after their first touchdown. So
32:33
Speaker 1: they always held that one point advantage. They started going
32:37
Speaker 1: for two and weren't getting it. But at the end
32:38
Speaker 1: of the first half, when Liberty Bell had the ball
32:42
Speaker 1: trying to get some more points at the very end
32:44
Speaker 1: of the first half, a pass was intercepted by Trey Alexander,
32:47
Speaker 1: who returned it 23 yards for a touchdown. and then
32:50
Speaker 1: Alexander hit Pierce Brzozowski for the two-point conversion, giving Meridian
32:55
Speaker 1: a pretty strong 27-18 lead at the half. Now, things changed.
33:01
Speaker 1: You know, you do your coaching up in halftime, and
33:04
Speaker 1: what happened, Liberty Bell came out and played extremely well
33:07
Speaker 1: in the second half. They did not allow Meridian to
33:09
Speaker 1: score at all, and they were able to score with
33:12
Speaker 1: their quarterback on two long touchdown runs, making it 30-27
33:16
Speaker 1: at the end with Liberty Bell winning the game. It was,
33:22
Speaker 1: you know, it was just one of those crazy games.
33:24
Speaker 1: The film was kind of wonky. It was low. So
33:27
Speaker 1: it was hard to really tell a lot of the
33:28
Speaker 1: time who had the ball or who made the tackler,
33:30
Speaker 1: what was going on. I had to watch it multiple
33:32
Speaker 1: times to kind of figure it out, but I think
33:35
Speaker 1: I did figure it out. What I did see that
33:37
Speaker 1: was Jackson fan and steel had a pretty good game
33:39
Speaker 1: rushing the ball, 15 carries for 127 yards and the
33:41
Speaker 1: touchdown Ryan win at 22 yards. Ethan Valich had 14 runs.
33:47
Speaker 1: Trey Alexander, nine for 25 through the air for 175 yards.
33:51
Speaker 1: He did have the touchdown to Braden Fisher. Pierce Brzozowski,
33:57
Speaker 1: three catches for 59 yards. And then Trevin Crabtree had
34:00
Speaker 1: two catches for 31 yards. Meridian also had a reception
34:04
Speaker 1: from Braden Fisher, Casey Brennan, Lincoln Burgess, and Jackson Fannisteel.
34:11
Speaker 1: So defensive-wise, Pierce Brzozowski led the way. Seven tackles, a
34:15
Speaker 1: tackle for loss, two sacks, a forced fumble, and a
34:18
Speaker 1: pass broken up. He had a monster game defensively at
34:22
Speaker 1: his new position as an outside linebacker slash defensive end
34:25
Speaker 1: slash edge rusher slash baddest dude on the field. And
34:31
Speaker 1: they had a lot of other guys that had pretty
34:32
Speaker 1: good games as well. Valich, Ethan Valich, six tackles, one
34:37
Speaker 1: tackle for loss, one sack. Ryan Wynn had five and
34:41
Speaker 1: a half tackles, two tackles for loss. I thought Casey
34:43
Speaker 1: Brennan did a good job at corner. He broke up
34:45
Speaker 1: three passes. That was more than anybody this past weekend.
34:49
Speaker 1: Trey Alexander had four tackles, a pass broken up. Andy
34:53
Speaker 1: had that pick six. Isaac Cypress had two and a
34:56
Speaker 1: half tackles for loss. Looked really strong up front. Landon Rowley,
34:59
Speaker 1: two sacks, a half a tackle for loss. You know,
35:03
Speaker 1: Griffith Ingram was really, really strong. There was a goal
35:06
Speaker 1: line stand. I think it was late in the first half.
35:09
Speaker 1: where they had the ball at the one-yard line, and
35:11
Speaker 1: he made some big stops right in the middle there
35:14
Speaker 1: at the nose tackle spot. So they did some really
35:17
Speaker 1: good things defensively. It was just that play of that
35:19
Speaker 1: quarterback for Liberty Bell making big, big plays at the
35:23
Speaker 1: end and were able to hold off Meridian at the
35:26
Speaker 1: very end. And that's just the way it goes. You know,
35:30
Speaker 1: at this game, I kind of figured Meridian would win,
35:32
Speaker 1: but I knew Liberty Bell was a really good program. So, yeah,
35:37
Speaker 1: it just– It just went the way that it went,
35:39
Speaker 1: and Meridian will regroup and take on Cascade Christian on Saturday.
35:45
Speaker 1: And the other game on Friday night was the Ferndale
35:48
Speaker 1: Golden Eagles defeating Everett 34-12. It was all Ferndale early on.
35:56
Speaker 1: In fact, I think the first carry of the game,
35:58
Speaker 1: Elliot Lenson took it for 30 yards, and the second
36:01
Speaker 1: carry of the game was Wyatt Broyles. He went for
36:03
Speaker 1: 20 yards. So they were definitely pumped up, ready to play.
36:07
Speaker 1: And he did score a couple of touchdowns there in
36:09
Speaker 1: the first quarter. Elliott Lenson finished off the first drive
36:12
Speaker 1: as he went into the end zone following a great
36:14
Speaker 1: block by Peace Windwalker. And then in the second score,
36:18
Speaker 1: it was Sawyer Saab, the brand-new quarterback, throwing a perfect
36:21
Speaker 1: pass on a 51-yard touchdown to Johnny Mahaffey, who is
36:26
Speaker 1: the speed demon on that team. So it was 14-0
36:29
Speaker 1: at the end of one quarter. Ferndale's Brock Hewke ended
36:33
Speaker 1: up scoring on a 26-yard touchdown run on the double handoff.
36:37
Speaker 1: You know, it's so funny because a lot of people
36:40
Speaker 1: are probably watching that play and different things, and they
36:43
Speaker 1: just say, man, that play seems to get a ton
36:44
Speaker 1: of yards all the time. Why don't you run it
36:46
Speaker 1: all the time? But that's what makes the play great
36:49
Speaker 1: is that you only run it once or twice a
36:51
Speaker 1: game because you do it when it's least expected, and
36:54
Speaker 1: they end up getting a big one on it on
36:56
Speaker 1: a 26-yard touchdown run. Everett then does throw a deep
37:00
Speaker 1: pass that goes for a 73-yard touchdown just before the
37:04
Speaker 1: half to make it 20-6. And at that point, it's
37:07
Speaker 1: kind of like, well, okay, you have the lead, but
37:11
Speaker 1: Everett did something good there, so you can't, you know,
37:14
Speaker 1: you got to watch out for them still. And then
37:16
Speaker 1: they end up coming out in the third quarter, and
37:18
Speaker 1: they threw a great touchdown pass on a fade. There
37:21
Speaker 1: was just a tremendous individual effort by the wide receiver
37:24
Speaker 1: coming down with the ball in the end zone. And
37:28
Speaker 1: then it's a one-score game. But what was great about
37:30
Speaker 1: it is that that extra point was blocked. I think
37:33
Speaker 1: the first one was blocked by Trey Munson, Braden Hendrickson
37:36
Speaker 1: blocked the second one. And so because of that, I
37:40
Speaker 1: think at that point it was, it was 20 to 12.
37:44
Speaker 1: So it is still a one score game, but you've
37:46
Speaker 1: got an eight point lead, which is huge. And Ferndale,
37:49
Speaker 1: you know, naturally controlling the clock. That's what they do.
37:53
Speaker 1: It's what they're built to do. They ended up driving
37:55
Speaker 1: down in the third quarter. Elliot Lenson scored his second
37:58
Speaker 1: touchdown of the game on a 12 yard run. And
38:01
Speaker 1: then in the fourth quarter, out of a double-tight ace formation,
38:05
Speaker 1: which there was no wingback. I couldn't believe what I
38:08
Speaker 1: was seeing with the Ferndale Golden Eagles without a wingback
38:11
Speaker 1: in there with just a straight-up normal ace formation. Two
38:15
Speaker 1: wide outs, two tight ends, single back. And they scored
38:18
Speaker 1: on it as Bobby Kelly, the speedy sophomore, went around
38:21
Speaker 1: the left end, followed some tremendous blocking from Braden Arps
38:25
Speaker 1: downfield and a kick-out block by Hendrickson. He scored on
38:28
Speaker 1: a 21-yard touchdown run. And that kind of put the
38:31
Speaker 1: game away as Ferndale won 34-12. Statistics-wise, Elliott Lenson, big
38:36
Speaker 1: game on the ground once again. 24 carries for 173
38:40
Speaker 1: yards and the two touchdowns. Wyatt Broyles, the new senior fullback,
38:44
Speaker 1: 14 carries for 79 yards. And Bobby Kelly, the speedster,
38:48
Speaker 1: four carries for 34 yards. Sawyer Saab, three of six
38:51
Speaker 1: through the air for 71 yards and a touchdown. Mahaffey
38:54
Speaker 1: with that 51-yard touchdown reception. Wyatt Broyles caught the other
38:58
Speaker 1: two passes. totaling 20 yards. On defense, Elliott Lenson, eight tackles,
39:05
Speaker 1: two and a half tackles for loss from a strong
39:07
Speaker 1: safety spot. Finding times to give him a breather is
39:13
Speaker 1: going to be the toughest part because he plays so much.
39:17
Speaker 1: He's returning kicks. He's on offense. He's on defense. He's
39:19
Speaker 1: your key player all over the place. But when I
39:21
Speaker 1: saw what they did every once in a while on offense,
39:24
Speaker 1: where you'd see backups in it running back, whether it
39:27
Speaker 1: be Beliatsky or, you know, you could put Bobby Kovacic.
39:30
Speaker 1: in there and, you know, give him a series off
39:34
Speaker 1: or set of downs off. But he's a kid that
39:36
Speaker 1: will be ready after a little bit to come back in.
39:38
Speaker 1: But he played some great defense. So, you know, leading
39:41
Speaker 1: that defense along with Mason Buttonshin, who I thought played
39:44
Speaker 1: awesome at linebacker, eight and a half tackles. He was
39:47
Speaker 1: all over the field. There were times when the ball
39:49
Speaker 1: was snapped and he would read the opposing offensive line
39:54
Speaker 1: so well that he would just sprint to an area
39:57
Speaker 1: and that's exactly where the ball would be. I thought
39:59
Speaker 1: he did an amazing job of being where he needed
40:02
Speaker 1: to be and reading the offensive linemen and making plays.
40:05
Speaker 1: I thought he really stood out. Bobby Kelly, the sophomore
40:09
Speaker 1: at corner, six and a half tackles, two passes broken up.
40:13
Speaker 1: He did have a few, he might have like a
40:15
Speaker 1: few defensive, Penalties called against him in pass interference that
40:18
Speaker 1: were a little bit questionable, but I tell you what, kid,
40:22
Speaker 1: keep doing what you're doing. You're a really good player,
40:25
Speaker 1: and he's going to be a good one for the
40:26
Speaker 1: next few years, so that's really exciting to see. Also,
40:30
Speaker 1: Peace Windwalker with one-and-a-half tackles behind the line of scrimmage, very,
40:35
Speaker 1: very strong as well. Braden Arps, Brock Huke, they had
40:38
Speaker 1: back-to-back sacks late in the game that kind of helped
40:41
Speaker 1: put it away. So really good things. Braden Hendrickson had
40:44
Speaker 1: a fumble return. or a fumble recovery, I should say.
40:46
Speaker 1: So the defense really came to play. Sky Freeman, one
40:51
Speaker 1: of the best assistant coaches around, really, really knows his
40:54
Speaker 1: stuff when it comes to football, and it's showing on
40:57
Speaker 1: the field. So another great win there by Ferndale, who,
41:02
Speaker 1: you know, playing Everett, I didn't really know what to expect,
41:05
Speaker 1: because Everett traditionally not the best team in the world,
41:07
Speaker 1: but they did have five wins last year. So, you know,
41:10
Speaker 1: you can't take anybody lightly, and they showed that they
41:13
Speaker 1: could throw the ball a little bit, but overall it was,
41:16
Speaker 1: it was Ferndale, you know, all day. So we go
41:20
Speaker 1: on to Saturday now. And then those Saturday games, Blaine
41:23
Speaker 1: went all the way down to the other corner of
41:25
Speaker 1: the state to take on Ilwako. And I, again, this
41:30
Speaker 1: is when we're in week one, you just don't know
41:32
Speaker 1: what to expect. I thought, I thought Blaine would be
41:35
Speaker 1: favored in it. I didn't know if they'd be that
41:38
Speaker 1: much better. You know, it's hard to say, don't know
41:40
Speaker 1: anything about Ilwako. Just know that it's a, 2B school,
41:45
Speaker 1: and they play pretty well and picked up some wins
41:48
Speaker 1: last year. And Blaine took it to them, offensively, defensively, everything.
41:53
Speaker 1: Scoring touchdowns over and over again every time they had
41:56
Speaker 1: the ball. It was looking really good. I think they
41:58
Speaker 1: only punted one time. Connor Brown passes for three touchdown
42:03
Speaker 1: passes in the first half alone. Tandy Heer also had
42:06
Speaker 1: a touchdown run. Peyton Bauman with a couple touchdown catches.
42:09
Speaker 1: Hunter Candenoza had a 15-yard touchdown catch. He was also
42:13
Speaker 1: six for six. on extra points, Blaine looked very good
42:16
Speaker 1: and extremely well on defense, only giving up 101 yards
42:21
Speaker 1: on the entire game and only eight yards in the
42:24
Speaker 1: first half alone. So that new revamped defense that Coach
42:28
Speaker 1: Olsen's got going in the border city has been really working.
42:33
Speaker 1: It's been fun to see. They also have four running
42:36
Speaker 1: backs that they really like that they were able to
42:39
Speaker 1: get them all a chunk of carries, which was nice
42:41
Speaker 1: to see. The starter was Tandy here, who had four
42:44
Speaker 1: carries for 27 yards and a touchdown. And then all
42:48
Speaker 1: the backups came in and did some good things. Sehu Kanaji,
42:53
Speaker 1: four carries for 36 yards and a touchdown, a very,
42:55
Speaker 1: very physical runner that just refuses to go down. Asher Hagee,
43:00
Speaker 1: six carries for 49 yards. He is, every time he
43:03
Speaker 1: takes the ball, I hope it's a dive play because
43:07
Speaker 1: he looks like he's shot out of a cannon. You know,
43:09
Speaker 1: if it's a counter or something where he has to
43:11
Speaker 1: slow down a little bit, it might be tough at
43:14
Speaker 1: this point because he's just, he reminds me of Charlie
43:17
Speaker 1: Garner running the ball. And if you remember Charlie Garner,
43:20
Speaker 1: watch some of his old highlights, he would break through
43:22
Speaker 1: the line at full speed. And, you know, once Asher
43:26
Speaker 1: Hagee learns how to you know, use his vision and
43:29
Speaker 1: read blocks and stuff like that. He could be a
43:31
Speaker 1: big time game breaker, but he had a pretty darn
43:34
Speaker 1: good game. And then the fourth running back is Rashawn Paez,
43:37
Speaker 1: who is, you know, Jaden Paez's little brother. He's just
43:40
Speaker 1: a sophomore. He's not as big as Jaden was, or,
43:43
Speaker 1: you know, doesn't have that talent yet, but you can
43:45
Speaker 1: see glimpses of some good things with the quick feet.
43:48
Speaker 1: He ended up with six carries for 54 yards and
43:51
Speaker 1: a touchdown. through the air, Connor Brown was 11 of
43:55
Speaker 1: 16 for 152 yards. And those three touchdowns, like I said,
43:59
Speaker 1: Cole Rose came in in the second half and he
44:01
Speaker 1: completed a 40 yard pass to Gavin Granstrom down the
44:05
Speaker 1: right sideline, which is a beauty to see, uh, Peyton Bama,
44:09
Speaker 1: great game as a receiver, eight catches for 128 yards.
44:13
Speaker 1: And then also passes were caught by Hunter Cananoza, Isaac Bauman,
44:17
Speaker 1: Tandy here. So really good, uh, a balance in the offense,
44:22
Speaker 1: 164 yards on the ground, 192 through the air. Every
44:26
Speaker 1: coach would love to have that. So that's a really
44:28
Speaker 1: great to see because that way you can't, you know,
44:30
Speaker 1: just load the box or play back. You have to
44:33
Speaker 1: respect everything. And that's going to be the case for
44:35
Speaker 1: the border rights this year on defense. It always begins
44:38
Speaker 1: and ends with Axel Shelton. He had another huge game,
44:41
Speaker 1: seven tackles, three tackles for loss, basically doing it all
44:44
Speaker 1: in the first half, but it wasn't even just that
44:47
Speaker 1: it was a lot of hurries of the quarterback, uh,
44:50
Speaker 1: just getting after it. He is a throwback. He's a
44:55
Speaker 1: guy that, you know, you're probably going to have the
45:00
Speaker 1: big cowboy collar around the neck. He looks like he's
45:03
Speaker 1: just straight out of the 80s playing high school football,
45:06
Speaker 1: you know, where the guys have the giant shoulder pads and,
45:09
Speaker 1: you know, the cowboy collar, and you kind of knew
45:11
Speaker 1: who the dude was. And when you watch playing football,
45:13
Speaker 1: you know who the dude is, and he is the dude.
45:15
Speaker 1: Another guy that really stood out defensively, for me was
45:18
Speaker 1: a freshman defensive end, Dimitri Shvorak. He had five tackles,
45:23
Speaker 1: including one and a half stops behind the line of
45:26
Speaker 1: scrimmage at six foot two and 200 pounds as a freshman.
45:30
Speaker 1: And as athletic as he is, it's, it's going to
45:34
Speaker 1: be scary for the next few years. If he keeps
45:36
Speaker 1: developing the way I think he probably will, he is
45:40
Speaker 1: going to be making a lot of problems for other teams.
45:44
Speaker 1: And I think that, you know, Coach Olsen will be
45:46
Speaker 1: the first one to say I'm glad he's on our team.
45:49
Speaker 1: Sehu Kanaji as a defensive end did a great job.
45:52
Speaker 1: Last year was an outside linebacker. But as a freshman,
45:56
Speaker 1: he even started a game at defensive end. So he's
45:58
Speaker 1: back at a position he probably feels a little more
46:00
Speaker 1: comfortable in. He did have a quarterback sack. Yeah, it
46:04
Speaker 1: was with him and Hagee getting through there. Putting Asher
46:08
Speaker 1: Hagee on a defensive tackle is scary because he's so quick.
46:15
Speaker 1: that by the time the guard picks up his stance,
46:17
Speaker 1: Asher Hagee can run by you already. And that's, you know,
46:21
Speaker 1: it's going to be their defense is kind of built
46:23
Speaker 1: on speed, and that's a prime example of it. So
46:26
Speaker 1: the Borderites with the big win over Iwako, 42-7. So
46:30
Speaker 1: congratulations to Blaine on that one. And the final game
46:34
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about is the Nooksack Valley Pioneers
46:37
Speaker 1: defeating Cascade Christian, 14-7. in one of those crazy games
46:43
Speaker 1: where no points were scored in the entire second half
46:46
Speaker 1: by either school. But, you know, it was a, it
46:51
Speaker 1: was a heck of a game to watch. That second
46:53
Speaker 1: half was pretty exciting. If you just sat back and
46:56
Speaker 1: watched it, um, early on, Nook Sack Valley scored first
47:00
Speaker 1: on an 18 yard touchdown run by Trevin Skeenstra. It
47:03
Speaker 1: was kind of a weird play where if, pitched it
47:06
Speaker 1: out to the right. He was wrapped up. It looked
47:08
Speaker 1: like it was going to be for a loss and
47:10
Speaker 1: he just ran out of it. He just ran out
47:12
Speaker 1: of it and scored on an 18 yard touchdown. And
47:15
Speaker 1: Cascade Christian is one of those kinds of teams that
47:17
Speaker 1: they make the state playoffs every year. You wouldn't expect,
47:20
Speaker 1: you know, poor tackling like that, but it could have
47:23
Speaker 1: been just more Skeenstra is that kind of athlete. And
47:27
Speaker 1: as the game progressed, you saw that he, that might
47:30
Speaker 1: be the case. He's just that kind of athlete. And
47:32
Speaker 1: speaking of athletes, uh, It was the first game ever
47:35
Speaker 1: at the varsity level for sophomore quarterback Lucas Woodrich. And
47:38
Speaker 1: if you're the quarterback of the Pioneers, you get a
47:41
Speaker 1: lot put on you, meaning you're going to throw the
47:43
Speaker 1: ball quite a bit. You're going to make reads. You're
47:46
Speaker 1: going to do this and do that. And he did
47:47
Speaker 1: a pretty good job completing 22 of 31 passes for
47:51
Speaker 1: 219 yards and a touchdown. One of the things that's
47:55
Speaker 1: really nice, too, is being able to just throw the
47:56
Speaker 1: ball up and let Tyler Martin go and get it,
47:59
Speaker 1: which he did 11 times for 136 yards. So Tyler
48:03
Speaker 1: Martin with a huge game offensively. Dane Ackerman also a
48:06
Speaker 1: great safety valve at tight end. Six catches for 42 yards.
48:10
Speaker 1: Trevon Skeenstra did catch three balls out of the backfield
48:13
Speaker 1: for 44 yards, including a touchdown in the second quarter
48:16
Speaker 1: to break a 7-7 tie. And when he scored that
48:19
Speaker 1: touchdown in the second quarter, it made it 14-7. That
48:22
Speaker 1: was the final score. Cascade Christian did have a couple
48:25
Speaker 1: chances late when they were driving, but a pass was
48:28
Speaker 1: intercepted by Skeenstra, which was a huge play. They were
48:32
Speaker 1: able to stop Nooksack Valley and force a punt with
48:36
Speaker 1: just a few minutes left in the game, maybe less
48:38
Speaker 1: than two minutes, but it might have even been less
48:41
Speaker 1: than a minute. It was very, very late in the game,
48:44
Speaker 1: and Nooksack's punt was not the best one. It did
48:47
Speaker 1: get past midfield, but not by much. And then the
48:50
Speaker 1: Cougars were able to drive down quite a bit. There
48:53
Speaker 1: was a couple plays that there was an unsportsmanlike play
49:00
Speaker 1: after a tackle that And they were able to tack
49:03
Speaker 1: 15 yards onto it, automatic first down. And then what
49:06
Speaker 1: seemed to be the last play of the game, Trevick McMillan,
49:08
Speaker 1: the big 6'4, 225-pound senior defensive end for the Pioneers,
49:13
Speaker 1: broke through the line, reached out with one hand, grabbed
49:16
Speaker 1: the back of the quarterback's jersey and brought him to
49:19
Speaker 1: the ground. and zeros on the clock. Nook sack has
49:23
Speaker 1: the wind, but a penalty went up for a horse
49:25
Speaker 1: caller really hard. I mean, you know, I have the
49:28
Speaker 1: ability to rewatch that play over and over again. And
49:31
Speaker 1: I thought he grabbed his Jersey to be honest. And
49:33
Speaker 1: it's tough to, cause you think you're ending the game
49:36
Speaker 1: on that play. You're not. Automatic first down again. Now
49:41
Speaker 1: you have the ball half the distance to the goal.
49:43
Speaker 1: Now you've got the ball on the six-yard line, untimed down,
49:46
Speaker 1: all that stuff. And it's like, okay, we need to
49:49
Speaker 1: make another stop. They end up going to a sweep
49:52
Speaker 1: to the left. It's stopped by Ty Barron's. Game is over.
49:55
Speaker 1: Nooksack Valley holds on to win. Trevon Skenstra, nine carries
49:59
Speaker 1: for 47 yards and a touchdown. And he led the
50:03
Speaker 1: way on the ground. So, defensive wise, it was Skeenstra
50:07
Speaker 1: there as well. Four and a half tackles. He also
50:10
Speaker 1: had the interception and he had a fumble recovery as well.
50:12
Speaker 1: So doing just kind of right place, right time, but
50:16
Speaker 1: a great athlete that can do those things. And I
50:19
Speaker 1: was thinking about it today and I was like, he
50:21
Speaker 1: reminds me of somebody and it was somebody that I
50:24
Speaker 1: played against growing up. Brian Jones was a player that
50:27
Speaker 1: was in my grade. That was kind of the do
50:29
Speaker 1: everything guy, six, two, 205 pounds, fast, strong, everything. Um,
50:36
Speaker 1: And he, you know, he, he might've won the state
50:39
Speaker 1: championship in the, in the javelin. And he was just
50:43
Speaker 1: one of those tremendous athletes. And that's what Trevon Skeenstra
50:46
Speaker 1: reminds me of right now, about the same size. And
50:51
Speaker 1: I just, I could really see Skeenstra having a big
50:54
Speaker 1: monster year and then, you know, not necessarily a breakout
50:57
Speaker 1: this year because he did do some really good things
50:59
Speaker 1: last year, but even better this year. So he had
51:03
Speaker 1: a great game offensively and defensively. I thought Paxton Miller
51:06
Speaker 1: had a tremendous game up front. Very, very active. Great
51:10
Speaker 1: speed for his size, too. Running down guys. Yet he
51:12
Speaker 1: led them with eight tackles. If you're an interior defensive
51:15
Speaker 1: lineman that has eight tackles in a game, that means
51:19
Speaker 1: it's hard to block you. And guess what? It's hard
51:22
Speaker 1: to block him. Silas Tierna did a good job, I thought,
51:25
Speaker 1: at linebacker. Jaden Jones at corner. Lucas Norris, another interior
51:31
Speaker 1: defensive lineman. So some really, really good things. you know,
51:36
Speaker 1: Cascade Christian's lone touchdown in the game came on a
51:40
Speaker 1: kind of a fluky interception where they gave them field position,
51:44
Speaker 1: you know, inside the red zone already. They end up
51:46
Speaker 1: scoring and that was really their, you know, that was
51:49
Speaker 1: their big thing. So I thought the defense played extremely
51:52
Speaker 1: well for the pioneers. There are some things probably to,
51:56
Speaker 1: you know, work on on the offensive side of the ball,
51:58
Speaker 1: but bottom line, they get the win. So that's a big,
52:01
Speaker 1: big thing for Nooksack Valley and, And next week, they'll
52:04
Speaker 1: be able to play on the brand-new turf field. Oh,
52:07
Speaker 1: it's going to be so beautiful to see. So those
52:10
Speaker 1: are the games, and we're going to talk about the
52:12
Speaker 1: players of the week. First of all is the offensive
52:16
Speaker 1: player of the week, which is brought to you by
52:17
Speaker 1: Walton Beverage, who's been a staple in our community for
52:19
Speaker 1: 95 years. I will continue to work harder every day
52:23
Speaker 1: to make the fantastic people at Walton Beverage proud to
52:26
Speaker 1: sponsor youth sports in our community. They deliver superior quality
52:30
Speaker 1: and commitment, and I plan to do the very same.
52:33
Speaker 1: The Walton beverage offensive player of the week goes to
52:35
Speaker 1: Elliot Lenson of Ferndale who had 24 carries for 173
52:40
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. You know, when you have a
52:42
Speaker 1: guy like that and you just feed him and feed him,
52:45
Speaker 1: he can, he can take over a game. And he
52:48
Speaker 1: definitely did that. He had a huge game. You know,
52:50
Speaker 1: a lot of times you don't see a back carry
52:52
Speaker 1: the ball that many times in week one, but he's
52:55
Speaker 1: a guy that's in such great shape that you were
52:57
Speaker 1: able to do that and, you know, not miss a
53:00
Speaker 1: beat and, And they were able to do that. Linson
53:04
Speaker 1: has another big game as he moves up the all-time
53:06
Speaker 1: rushing chart in Ferndale history, which is quite the list.
53:10
Speaker 1: Big-time names on that list. So congratulations to him. Also,
53:14
Speaker 1: the Defensive Player of the Week is brought to you
53:16

53:32
Speaker 1: That's Kurt with a C M a B E R
53:35
Speaker 1: R Y farm.com. And the Kurt Mayberry farm defensive player
53:39
Speaker 1: of the week. Again, this was kind of a battle
53:41
Speaker 1: between a handful of guys, but I went with Axel
53:44
Speaker 1: Shelton of Blaine. The seven tackles, three tackles for loss,
53:48
Speaker 1: doing it all in the first half. It really set
53:50
Speaker 1: the tone for Blaine to really, put the pedal down
53:54
Speaker 1: offensively and it was a blowout early. And I thought
53:57
Speaker 1: it was the defense that made the offense go. You
54:00
Speaker 1: hear that a lot in basketball, you know, our defense
54:03
Speaker 1: gets our offense going, but I really felt that in
54:06
Speaker 1: this football game. And it wasn't even just that, like
54:09
Speaker 1: I said earlier, there was a lot of hurries, blitzes.
54:13
Speaker 1: He's a guy that you don't want to get tackled by.
54:15
Speaker 1: So you get rid of the ball if you're the quarterback.
54:17
Speaker 1: So he did a lot of those things too, which
54:19
Speaker 1: I don't track hurries, but man, Maybe I should. I
54:22
Speaker 1: don't know. We'll have to see. The special teams player
54:26
Speaker 1: of the week is brought to you by Pets Real Estate,
54:28
Speaker 1: your preferred real estate agency in Whatcom County. Visit them
54:32
Speaker 1: at petsrealestate.com. That's P-E-T-Z realestate.com. And the special teams player
54:40
Speaker 1: of the week is Casey Brennan of Meridian, who returned
54:43
Speaker 1: the 78-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. It was a
54:48
Speaker 1: crazy play, too, because he kind of, caught the ball
54:52
Speaker 1: and went forward and said, no, go backwards. I'm going
54:55
Speaker 1: to kick it to the outside. Now I start after
54:57
Speaker 1: he kind of sucked in all the, the kick coverage
55:00
Speaker 1: and he's just got a different kind of speed than
55:03
Speaker 1: 99% of the players. And when he hit that, he
55:06
Speaker 1: was gone. And what's so cool to see is I don't,
55:09
Speaker 1: he's played with injuries, especially hamstring stuff, his whole career.
55:13
Speaker 1: And boy, I really hope he's healthy because if he is,
55:16
Speaker 1: if he's a hundred percent, this is something you can
55:18
Speaker 1: expect week in and week out. He's just that kind
55:21
Speaker 1: of player. And hopefully he's doing okay health-wise with those
55:27
Speaker 1: things because my goodness, he is so fast and so
55:30
Speaker 1: fun to watch. So congratulations to the Meridian senior Casey
55:34
Speaker 1: Brennan on being named the Pets Real Estate Special Teams
55:37
Speaker 1: Player of the Week. Again, there was a lot of
55:39
Speaker 1: great candidates there. There were Elias Laranaga kicked two field goals,
55:43
Speaker 1: which does not happen very often in high school football.
55:46
Speaker 1: Jackson Yoon kicked a field goal, a deep one. Yeah,
55:51
Speaker 1: there was some really good things. Zanock Smith was 8-for-8
55:54
Speaker 1: on extra points. Jad Geiger had some huge punts. He
55:58
Speaker 1: averaged 47 yards a punt, but I'm going with Casey Brennan.
56:02
Speaker 1: Whenever the kick returned for a touchdown, that's a good
56:05
Speaker 1: way to kind of put your name up. above a
56:07
Speaker 1: lot of those other things, and he did it, and
56:09
Speaker 1: that was huge for them. And then finally, the Anytime
56:14
Speaker 1: Fitness Offensive Lineman of the Week. Got to check out
56:17
Speaker 1: Anytime Fitness in Linden, Linden North, and Ferndale. They also
56:21
Speaker 1: sponsor the scoreboards. Be sure to visit our sponsors and
56:24
Speaker 1: let them know you heard about them on the Walkin'
56:28
Speaker 1: Preps podcast. And the Anytime Fitness Offensive Lineman of the
56:31
Speaker 1: Week was Braden Hendrickson of Ferndale. Boy, that guy is–
56:37
Speaker 1: I think he's poised for an all-conference huge year. I
56:41
Speaker 1: named him as my breakout player of the year for Ferndale,
56:43
Speaker 1: even though he is a senior. And he did have
56:46
Speaker 1: a pretty good year last year. But I think there's
56:48
Speaker 1: possibilities of all-state with him. I just think that he
56:51
Speaker 1: is so talented. And, you know, at 6'3, 295, there's
56:58
Speaker 1: got to be a spot college-wise that he can fit
57:01
Speaker 1: because he– he, he, he gets after it and he
57:04
Speaker 1: had a great, great game. He can really move. Um, and,
57:10
Speaker 1: and he's puts the force down and it's really, really
57:12
Speaker 1: fun to watch him on both sides of the ball.
57:14
Speaker 1: But I thought this past week, a tremendous game against
57:17
Speaker 1: the Everett Seagulls as the offensive lineman. And he is
57:20
Speaker 1: your anytime fitness offensive lineman of the week.
57:24
Speaker 2: Whew.
