- 1:37Speaker 1: when I talk about Walton Beverage for a little bit,
- 1:40Speaker 1: Walton Beverage has been a staple in our community for
- 1:42Speaker 1: over ninety years, and they're taking an interest in Walkam
- 1:44Speaker 1: Preps and allowing me to keep doing what I love
- 1:47Speaker 1: to do. I will continue to work harder every day
- 1:50Speaker 1: to make the fantastic people at Walton Beverage proud to
- 1:52Speaker 1: sponsor youth sports in our community. They deliver superior quality
- 1:56Speaker 1: and commitment, and I plan to do the very same. Also,
- 1:58Speaker 1: do you live in walk Them, Scout Island or San
- 2:01Speaker 1: Juan County and want to become an official? Officiating is
- 2:04Speaker 1: a great way to give back to your community and
- 2:06Speaker 1: ensure our youth have an opportunity to compete in athletics.
- 2:10Speaker 1: Go to nwofficials dot com and We're gonna start off
- 2:14Speaker 1: today by talking about girls wrestling. You know, I was
- 2:17Speaker 1: last few weeks, I've been keeping these win loss records
- 2:20Speaker 1: and everything, and boy, every single week there's there's dual meets,
- 2:24Speaker 1: and there's tournaments that don't get logged and I can't
- 2:27Speaker 1: get results for and the you know, the more and
- 2:30Speaker 1: more I do it, I'm like, none of these win
- 2:32Speaker 1: loss records are probably correct anymore. So I have to
- 2:36Speaker 1: get away from that because I don't want to give
- 2:37Speaker 1: away I don't want to give out false information. So

- 11:04Speaker 1: beat Burlington forty five to thirty four. Meridian lost to
- 11:08Speaker 1: Linden seventy two to fifteen, but then beat Burlington at
- 11:11Speaker 1: this in forty seven thirty five and lost a heartbreaker
- 11:14Speaker 1: against Lakewood fifty three to fifty in overtime, thrilling into
- 11:18Speaker 1: that one there Blaine. Their only game was they beat
- 11:22Speaker 1: Oakarb fifty to forty two, which I talked about a
- 11:24Speaker 1: little bit early on. You know, that Meridian game against
- 11:27Speaker 1: Lakewood was crazy. I mean, Lakewood has the ball with
- 11:31Speaker 1: under a second to go, I think it was zero
- 11:33Speaker 1: point seven seconds, with a two point lead, and they're
- 11:36Speaker 1: inbounding under the basket and it was a bounce pass
- 11:40Speaker 1: in and Emelia Koning stole the ball and laid it
- 11:43Speaker 1: in like right at the buzzer to put it send
- 11:46Speaker 1: it into overtime, and you know, Lakewood still came out
- 11:49Speaker 1: on top of that. But that was such a great
- 11:51Speaker 1: play and it it was funny because went through my head.
- 11:54Speaker 1: I was watching it online as it happened, and because
- 11:58Speaker 1: you know, I'm doing the score the scoreboard graphics every night,
- 12:01Speaker 1: and that's the that's the latest game, and I'm waiting
- 12:03Speaker 1: for it to end, and I'm watching it and it's
- 12:06Speaker 1: exciting and lake was heavily favored, and so funny because
- 12:14Speaker 1: you know, Amelia Coning is such a good athlete and
- 12:17Speaker 1: and you know a lot of her teammates, you know,
- 12:19Speaker 1: her nickname is Meals. And it's so funny because I
- 12:24Speaker 1: you know, whenever I think of meals, I always think
- 12:26Speaker 1: of meals on wheels. You know, that was that was
- 12:29Speaker 1: a big big thing back in the day. It might
- 12:31Speaker 1: still be, I'm not quite sure. But when she stole
- 12:34Speaker 1: the ball and put it in, I called it meals
- 12:35Speaker 1: on steels. And she's such a good defensive player that
- 12:39Speaker 1: maybe that'll become a thing, meals on steels. Maybe there'll
- 12:41Speaker 1: be a sign up in the crowd. But what a great,
- 12:44Speaker 1: great player. She had eighteen points in that game, to
- 12:46Speaker 1: a career high, so it was a breakout game for her,
- 12:50Speaker 1: but they came up just short. A few of the
- 12:52Speaker 1: other games I saw in person during the week. I
- 12:55Speaker 1: saw Lynda Christian defeat Nuksackvalley fifty eight to thirty eight.
- 12:59Speaker 1: Nooksack had a really strong start to that game. They
- 13:02Speaker 1: were playing without Shaley Davis, who I watched earlier in
- 13:05Speaker 1: the week when Mount Baker and Nuksack Valley played in
- 13:08Speaker 1: Girls' Action and Shaley Davis got hurt in that game,
- 13:12Speaker 1: she was not able to return. She was on crutches
- 13:14Speaker 1: later in the week against Lynnon Christians, so that you know,
- 13:18Speaker 1: that was that's a tough one. They played without her
- 13:20Speaker 1: earlier in the year as well, and they you know,
- 13:22Speaker 1: they got through some games, but it's gonna be, you know,
- 13:26Speaker 1: if she can't come back at all in this season,
- 13:29Speaker 1: that's gonna be a real, really tough blow for the Pioneers.
- 13:33Speaker 1: I did, like I said, also, I saw the Mount
- 13:35Speaker 1: Baker Knuksack Valley game that Knuksack Valley won. I did
- 13:40Speaker 1: see Ferndale beat Burlington Edison on Saturday, just I saw
- 13:44Speaker 1: a little bit of that one there. I was there
- 13:47Speaker 1: for when Meridian beat Burlington Edison as well, so I
- 13:51Speaker 1: was able to catch quite a few games that went
- 13:54Speaker 1: Walking County's way when it was Walking County versus non
- 13:57Speaker 1: walking County. I always try to get to Walking County
- 13:59Speaker 1: games in or two Walking County teams into the same
- 14:01Speaker 1: game and try to catch as many as I can
- 14:05Speaker 1: from the local county here. So let's take a look
- 14:07Speaker 1: at the stat leaders. Of course, stat Leaders brought to
- 14:09Speaker 1: you by Acceleration Driving School in Linden. Many of you
- 14:12Speaker 1: out there learning how to drive and I strongly advise
- 14:14Speaker 1: you check out Acceleration Driving School in Linden. Give Kevin
- 14:17Speaker 1: a call at three six zero seven four six four
- 14:21Speaker 1: five sixty seven and tell him you heard about them
- 14:23Speaker 1: on the Walcome Preps podcast. It's a lot of the
- 14:28Speaker 1: same names here, but we're gonna go through the stats.
- 14:30Speaker 1: Points per game. As still Finley parture of Linden, She's
- 14:33Speaker 1: averaging twenty three point four points per game. She is
- 14:36Speaker 1: also leading in field goal percentage at sixty seven point
- 14:39Speaker 1: seven percent, three point percentage at forty nine point one percent,
- 14:42Speaker 1: and free throw percentage at eighty three point one percent.
- 14:46Speaker 1: Not only is she the best player in the county,
- 14:48Speaker 1: she could be the best player in the state. She
- 14:51Speaker 1: is phenomenal and such a good person too, so that
- 14:55Speaker 1: always goes a long way. You know. I got to
- 14:57Speaker 1: cover you know, Luke Ridnawer when he a player, Jake
- 15:00Speaker 1: Locker when he was a player, and they had these
- 15:04Speaker 1: similar They had these similarities when I would talk to
- 15:08Speaker 1: them about being a good person and being polite and
- 15:12Speaker 1: being humble, and you obviously saw greatness when you watch
- 15:16Speaker 1: them play their sports, but the way they carried themselves
- 15:20Speaker 1: and Finley Parcher's right there with them. And that's really
- 15:23Speaker 1: cool to see because you know, there's a lot of
- 15:27Speaker 1: great athletes, and then there's these superb athletes, and there's
- 15:29Speaker 1: a lot of great kids, and then there's these superb kids.
- 15:32Speaker 1: So when you can be superb at both, that really
- 15:36Speaker 1: goes a long way. Rebecca Sores of Mount Baker leads
- 15:39Speaker 1: and rebounds per game at fifteen point one. She also
- 15:42Speaker 1: leads in blocks per games at three point three. Elena
- 15:45Speaker 1: Rebang of Elimination leads inn a sist per game at
- 15:48Speaker 1: five point eight, and her teammate Jemma James leads and
- 15:51Speaker 1: steals per game at five point nine. We're gonna check

- 15:58Speaker 1: it is brought to you by Anytime Fitness and Linden,
- 16:00Speaker 1: Linden North and Ferndale. And I tell you what, it
- 16:04Speaker 1: was a heck of a week for Squalkum junior Lexi Robbins.
- 16:09Speaker 1: In the first game this week they played against c
- 16:11Speaker 1: Cedro Woolly and she was not feeling well. It was
- 16:14Speaker 1: almost like the Jordan flu game, you know, if you
- 16:17Speaker 1: remember that in the ninety seven finals against the Utah Jazz,
- 16:21Speaker 1: she was not playing well. She led them in scoring,
- 16:24Speaker 1: they get the win and Cedar Woollie came out on
- 16:27Speaker 1: fire and they were able to you know, win that game.
- 16:30Speaker 1: The storm was and then later on in the week
- 16:35Speaker 1: she hit seven out of eight from beyond the arc
- 16:39Speaker 1: against Anacordis and they win that game fifty four to
- 16:41Speaker 1: thirty eight. It's just an unbelievable week for her. So
- 16:45Speaker 1: congratulations to Lexi Robbins of Squalkum on winning the Anytime

- 17:38Speaker 1: one and one. They do have that tie from earlier
- 17:40Speaker 1: in the year against Lakewood in that crazy game. Lyndon
- 17:43Speaker 1: is twelve and five. Now they've they've found there what
- 17:47Speaker 1: we all expected was gonna happen. They kind of found
- 17:49Speaker 1: their rhythm. See Home is eleven and five, Squalok them
- 17:52Speaker 1: eight and seven, Nukxac Valley Bellingham are both six and ten,
- 17:56Speaker 1: Ferndales five and ten, Meridian five and twelve, Blaine is
- 17:59Speaker 1: four andeen, and Mount Baker is three and eleven. Every
- 18:04Speaker 1: team played at least two games. Some teams played three games.
- 18:07Speaker 1: This week. Lyndy Christian beat Anacorda seventy to sixty five,
- 18:11Speaker 1: and a really big anticipated game they were on the road,
- 18:14Speaker 1: win that game, a very physical game, and then they
- 18:17Speaker 1: turn around and beat Nuksack Valley sixty one to forty four.
- 18:20Speaker 1: I was at that one, just caught the tail end
- 18:23Speaker 1: of it there, but watched the game film later and
- 18:26Speaker 1: and you know, Linda Christian, there's just no holes in
- 18:29Speaker 1: their game. You know, the guards can shoot it, the
- 18:31Speaker 1: forwards can rebound, everybody is on point with everything. Just fundamentally,
- 18:36Speaker 1: passes are crisp. They're doing very very well right now.
- 18:40Speaker 1: Leimu Nation they beat Issaqua on Monday, seventy seven to
- 18:43Speaker 1: sixty six. How about that one B school beating a
- 18:47Speaker 1: four A school. And Issaqua is not a pushover four
- 18:50Speaker 1: A school. They were, you know, above five hundred. They
- 18:53Speaker 1: got a three star recruit player and leim Nation beat them.
- 18:57Speaker 1: And that's what happens. You played team ball and you
- 18:59Speaker 1: could beat a lot of and this is a this
- 19:01Speaker 1: is a pretty darn good team. And then the next
- 19:04Speaker 1: night they beat Providence Classical Christian sixty seven to forty six.
- 19:08Speaker 1: And it was senior night. I was out there for
- 19:10Speaker 1: this game, and it was so cool because they have
- 19:14Speaker 1: I think they had seven seniors that do not play
- 19:18Speaker 1: varsity basketball. They played JV Ones the team manager, and
- 19:24Speaker 1: they all suited up. They started, five of them, they
- 19:28Speaker 1: all played, I think they almost all. I think six
- 19:30Speaker 1: out of the seven scored. And it was so fun
- 19:34Speaker 1: seeing the you know, the main starters get to watch
- 19:37Speaker 1: those guys and cheer them on and they were pretty
- 19:42Speaker 1: good and they you know, they were ahead the whole game.
- 19:44Speaker 1: I mean they were up against the regular starters for
- 19:47Speaker 1: Providence Classical Christian and Limination came out. They were up
- 19:51Speaker 1: ahead and you know, seeing those guys hit shots and
- 19:54Speaker 1: Desmond Jones and it was it was so cool. It
- 19:58Speaker 1: was just so cool to see and and some really
- 20:00Speaker 1: good plays there. There was even a play in that
- 20:03Speaker 1: game that might be up for PEPSI Player of the Week.
- 20:06Speaker 1: We'll have to see. There was a there was an
- 20:08Speaker 1: awesome play. I think it was Desmond Jones who drove
- 20:11Speaker 1: and he split two defenders with a reverse lay in
- 20:13Speaker 1: and banked it off and made it and the crowd
- 20:15Speaker 1: went crazy. So it might be up there for PEPSI
- 20:19Speaker 1: Player of the Week. We'll see. But congratulations to a
- 20:21Speaker 1: Lumba Nation on their two wins this week. Lindon defeated
- 20:24Speaker 1: Meridians seventy two to forty six and they beat Blaine
- 20:27Speaker 1: seventy seven to thirty four. I was at that game
- 20:29Speaker 1: where they defeated Blaine. I was there for the first
- 20:31Speaker 1: half Senior night for them as well, so it was
- 20:35Speaker 1: cool to see some of the you know, all five
- 20:37Speaker 1: of their they have five seniors exactly. So you get
- 20:39Speaker 1: them all on the starting lineup and they they they
- 20:42Speaker 1: came out led fourteen to two early on. It's funny
- 20:47Speaker 1: watching the Lions because they they're just I don't know,
- 20:51Speaker 1: they're just they're Lindon man. I mean, he kind of do.
- 20:55Speaker 1: They're really really good. Spencer Adams is I I swear
- 21:00Speaker 1: every time I see him he looks taller. I don't
- 21:02Speaker 1: know how he's getting so tall. I thought playing baseball
- 21:06Speaker 1: last year he was like sixty three and he's like
- 21:07Speaker 1: six six now. But he is. He can do everything.
- 21:12Speaker 1: I mean it is. He can shoot, rebound, he played defense,
- 21:14Speaker 1: pass a lot of assists. He leads a lot of games.
- 21:17Speaker 1: He'll lead them in scoring, rebounds and assists, and that's
- 21:21Speaker 1: a regular thing for him. And it's good to see
- 21:23Speaker 1: Tyd Jorgensen playing. I know he's not one hundred percent,
- 21:27Speaker 1: but and the you know, yeah, it's just it's fun
- 21:31Speaker 1: to see they're doing great, see him. They they're on
- 21:34Speaker 1: a little bit of a streak here as well. They
- 21:36Speaker 1: beat Ferndale sixty seven to fifty eight, and then they
- 21:39Speaker 1: beat Mount Vernon sixty seven to fifty eight. Wait a minute,
- 21:43Speaker 1: is that true? They beat him both by the exact
- 21:45Speaker 1: same score. Now see, now this is weird because I
- 21:48Speaker 1: got to go back and look at this here. Let's
- 21:50Speaker 1: see here see hom Oh sixty seven to fifty nine
- 21:55Speaker 1: against Mount Vernon and it was six seven. Let's see
- 22:02Speaker 1: you're sixty seven to fifty eight against Brinda. Okay, see
- 22:04Speaker 1: now I know it wasn't crazy. I didn't think they
- 22:07Speaker 1: were the exact same score. They're pretty durned close. Uh
- 22:10Speaker 1: Seahome's got a little thing going on right now where
- 22:12Speaker 1: they're they're finding their groove. Lost last week, you know,
- 22:17Speaker 1: to Lyndon, but or you know, the week before this
- 22:19Speaker 1: one I'm talking about. But man, they're they're doing some
- 22:23Speaker 1: really good things. They they're gonna be a tough out
- 22:25Speaker 1: in the district tournament. You know, the coaching is so
- 22:29Speaker 1: great and and the players really have they they really
- 22:32Speaker 1: defined their rules. I mean, the guys they have are
- 22:34Speaker 1: all do something a little bit different, and you know,
- 22:37Speaker 1: they go they go seven deep. You know, they got
- 22:43Speaker 1: they have two guys off the bench that one's you know,
- 22:45Speaker 1: very very specific guard ones a very specific forward so
- 22:49Speaker 1: they can rotate with the right way and and yeah,
- 22:53Speaker 1: when they're when they're clicking, especially when they're shooting well,
- 22:55Speaker 1: they can they can beat a lot of teams. Squalkum
- 22:58Speaker 1: lost the Seigere Willie sixty four to thirty eight, then
- 23:00Speaker 1: lost to Anacordus fifty three to forty three. That's a
- 23:03Speaker 1: couple of really tough opponents to play. In the same week,
- 23:06Speaker 1: Nucksack Valley beat Mount Baker seventy three to fifty four,
- 23:09Speaker 1: and then they lost at Lyndon Christians sixty one to
- 23:11Speaker 1: forty four. I was at both of those games. Nukxack
- 23:16Speaker 1: Valley is good to see Tyler Martin back out there
- 23:18Speaker 1: and playing. The thing about Nukack Valley is, boy, any
- 23:23Speaker 1: given night, anybody can be their leading score, and that
- 23:27Speaker 1: can be tough to defend because other teams, you know,
- 23:30Speaker 1: are gonna be like, okay, who do we need a
- 23:31Speaker 1: key on? And you just got to be even steven
- 23:36Speaker 1: and just do you know, defend everybody because they can
- 23:39Speaker 1: all shoot, and they can all you know, pass, and
- 23:42Speaker 1: they played really really well together. It's fun. It's a
- 23:45Speaker 1: fun group to see and you know, they beat my
- 23:50Speaker 1: Baker lost Lindon Christian. We'll see how they do again
- 23:53Speaker 1: this upcoming week. Bellingham lost to Mount Vernon sixty seven
- 23:56Speaker 1: to fifty four, then lost to Seger Woolley eighty to
- 23:58Speaker 1: fifty four. We're fifty four points in both games. I
- 24:02Speaker 1: think Joe Harward may have scored half their points in
- 24:05Speaker 1: both of them as well. He's been on a tear
- 24:07Speaker 1: one man wrecking crew, I believe at this point now
- 24:11Speaker 1: he is nineteen points away from one thousand career points.
- 24:16Speaker 1: And not a lot of players reach one thousand career points.
- 24:20Speaker 1: It's quite the milestone. Joe Harward is just nineteen points
- 24:23Speaker 1: away now. He played his freshman year at Mount Baker
- 24:26Speaker 1: and sophomore year Bellingham, and he's been at Bellingham ever since.
- 24:31Speaker 1: So yeah, pretty incredible current. He's been putting up some
- 24:35Speaker 1: huge numbers. Recently, Herndale lost to Seem sixty seven fifty eight.
- 24:39Speaker 1: They beat Okarber fifty eight fifty seven, and then lost
- 24:42Speaker 1: to Brillington Is seventy five to fifty eight. Yeah. I
- 24:49Speaker 1: didn't see any of these games in person. I mean
- 24:51Speaker 1: I saw them online. I saw the you know, Okcarber
- 24:55Speaker 1: that's a good one. That's another you know, it's another
- 24:57Speaker 1: three A school. So to beat them is nice. And
- 25:01Speaker 1: Xavier Ochoa of Okcarbor, I don't talk about non Walking
- 25:04Speaker 1: County kids very often, but he is a pretty darn
- 25:07Speaker 1: special player. He had a shot from about five feet
- 25:10Speaker 1: behind the three point line at the top of the
- 25:12Speaker 1: key to win the game there at the end, but
- 25:15Speaker 1: it was very highly contested, so it would have been
- 25:17Speaker 1: a really tough shot to make, but he did miss it.
- 25:19Speaker 1: Ferndale came around with the win there. Meridan lost to
- 25:23Speaker 1: Linden seventy two to forty six. They lost to Brilliance
- 25:25Speaker 1: in Edison eighty to sixty seven, and then they lost
- 25:27Speaker 1: a Lake With seventy five to fifty nine. So you're
- 25:29Speaker 1: facing three top two way schools. Tough week for the
- 25:32Speaker 1: Trojans there. Blaine lost to Oak harb seventy seven to
- 25:35Speaker 1: fifty two. I was there for about the first half
- 25:38Speaker 1: of that one. Good to see Peyton Bauma and Landon
- 25:42Speaker 1: Brown back in the rotation. You know, they were both
- 25:45Speaker 1: injured earlier in the years, so now they got a
- 25:47Speaker 1: strong eight man rotation that they really like, maybe even
- 25:51Speaker 1: nine now because Holden Briner has been playing a lot
- 25:53Speaker 1: more recently. They did lose to Linden seventy seven to
- 25:56Speaker 1: thirty four. I was there for the first half of
- 25:58Speaker 1: that one, and then they lost Or Island seventy four to
- 26:01Speaker 1: sixty three. So all three games lost this week by
- 26:05Speaker 1: the border rights. Mount Baker lost in Nukxack Valley seventy
- 26:08Speaker 1: three to fifty four, then lost Oak Carver seventy four
- 26:11Speaker 1: to forty six. Mount Baker kind of hitting the skids recently.
- 26:14Speaker 1: Something's got to get something's got to click there before
- 26:17Speaker 1: they can get into districts. If they want to make
- 26:19Speaker 1: some noise there, Let's take a look at the stat
- 26:21Speaker 1: leaders of course again brought you by Acceleration Driving School
- 26:24Speaker 1: in Lyndon. Kevin Austen partnered with Walkham Preps in August
- 26:27Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five. Give him a call at three
- 26:30Speaker 1: six zero or sorry, it was August of twenty twenty
- 26:33Speaker 1: four when he joined. Give give him a call at
- 26:35Speaker 1: three six zero seven four six four five sixty seven
- 26:38Speaker 1: telling you heard about them on the Walkam Preps podcast.
- 26:42Speaker 1: Would take a look at the stat leaders. Points per
- 26:44Speaker 1: game Dawson Heinz a Lenny Christian just barely edging out
- 26:48Speaker 1: Joe Harward right now heines at twenty two point four
- 26:50Speaker 1: points per game, field goal percentage, Chase Waight Keller of
- 26:53Speaker 1: elimination at sixty seven point nine percent free through percentage.
- 26:57Speaker 1: We have a new leader. It's Cavere Dylan of Ferndale
- 27:00Speaker 1: eighty seven point five percent at three point percentage. Another
- 27:04Speaker 1: new leader, and it's again a Ferndale Golden Eagle. This
- 27:07Speaker 1: time it's sophomore Houston Wills who's shooting forty two and
- 27:11Speaker 1: a half percent. Rebounds per game is Chase weaight Keller
- 27:14Speaker 1: of Lemonation eleven point seven rebounds per game at assists
- 27:18Speaker 1: per game. Nolan Wright of Sea Home six point nine
- 27:21Speaker 1: steals per game, Jerome Toby of Lemination three point six
- 27:24Speaker 1: and blocks per game is still Caden Feldman of Lyndon
- 27:28Speaker 1: Christian with two point eight blocks per game. He has
- 27:30Speaker 1: seven blocks in that game against Snuffsack Valley. He's a
- 27:32Speaker 1: kid that gets off his feet really quickly, has great
- 27:36Speaker 1: anticipation and super strong, and he's just very athletic. And
- 27:40Speaker 1: you put all that stuff together and you're six foot
- 27:42Speaker 1: four and really really works, doesn't it. And talk about
- 27:47Speaker 1: time to talk about the player of the week now,
- 27:49Speaker 1: of course, brought to you by Anytime Fitness and Linden,
- 27:52Speaker 1: Linden North and Ferndale go check them out. You know
- 27:55Speaker 1: this one I really wanted to give it to Joe
- 27:58Speaker 1: Harward this week because he just had a he had
- 28:00Speaker 1: a personally had a huge week with big, big, big numbers,
- 28:04Speaker 1: but they dropped those two games, and you know, both
- 28:08Speaker 1: of them were double digit losses, and I just kind
- 28:10Speaker 1: of thought, it's really hard for me to give it
- 28:12Speaker 1: to the player that the team didn't win during the week,
- 28:15Speaker 1: So I leaned a little bit towards Xavier Kelly of Seahome.
- 28:20Speaker 1: So I'm going anytime Fitness Player of the Week is
- 28:22Speaker 1: Xavier Kelly from Seahome, the senior forward, big big week.
- 28:26Speaker 1: See Home beat a couple of good teams this week,
- 28:30Speaker 1: and so they are kind of on a good stretch
- 28:33Speaker 1: right now, and it's every single game he just seems
- 28:35Speaker 1: to get that double double and and it really comes
- 28:38Speaker 1: through for his Teammate's really really fun to see. He's
- 28:41Speaker 1: a kid that as a sophomore, I had no clue
- 28:44Speaker 1: who he was. He didn't he wasn't playing varsity basketball.
- 28:46Speaker 1: I come out last year as a junior, I'm like, well,
- 28:48Speaker 1: this kid's pretty good. And then this year he's just
- 28:50Speaker 1: exploded into being one of the you know, definitely a
- 28:53Speaker 1: you know, a first team All Conference type of player,
- 28:56Speaker 1: so really fun to see. So congratulations to the Seahome
- 28:59Speaker 1: senior forward Xavior Kelly on being named the Anytime Fitness
- 29:03Speaker 1: Player of the Week. Let's take a look at this
- 29:06Speaker 1: upcoming week. On Monday, got girls basketball Seager Woollie at Seahome.
- 29:11Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a great, great game. Seager Woollie,
- 29:15Speaker 1: of course, is coached by Ken Crawford, the longtime Bellingham coach.
- 29:20Speaker 1: It'd be fun to see him come back into town
- 29:22Speaker 1: and step into the new Seahome gym. There also girls
- 29:26Speaker 1: wrestling on Monday, Mount Baker at Ferndale. That'll be a
- 29:29Speaker 1: really good competition there. On Tuesday, boys basketball Ferndale at Meridian.
- 29:35Speaker 1: I think that'll be a very even matchup. Ferndale's got
- 29:39Speaker 1: the size advantage, but Meridian they play that pressure defense.
- 29:43Speaker 1: I'm really curious to see how it'll do against the
- 29:45Speaker 1: sophomore guards of Ferndale. I think. I just think that's
- 29:48Speaker 1: a really good matchup. That will be a very very
- 29:51Speaker 1: close game, So that'd be a fun one to go to.
- 29:53Speaker 1: Earlier in the afternoon, it'll be boys swimming Seahome at Lindon.
- 29:57Speaker 1: That'll be a really good competition as well. I think
- 30:00Speaker 1: I think both those teams are tied with each other,
- 30:02Speaker 1: so I think that could be very very even as well.
- 30:04Speaker 1: On Wednesday, boys wrestling squalic them at London. That should
- 30:08Speaker 1: be pretty durn good. They got a lot of both
- 30:10Speaker 1: teams got a lot of great wrestlers right in those
- 30:12Speaker 1: middle weight classes, kind of at one thirty eight to
- 30:15Speaker 1: one fifty seven range. There should be a lot of
- 30:18Speaker 1: really good matches there. On Thursday, doubleheader Blaine at Ferndale
- 30:23Speaker 1: girls basketball and boys basketball. That I love the doubleheaders,
- 30:27Speaker 1: and especially when they're both walking county teams, that just
- 30:29Speaker 1: makes it so much easier, so much fun. But I
- 30:34Speaker 1: have to make a decision will I go there or
- 30:36Speaker 1: will I go to the doubleheader at Seahome because it's
- 30:38Speaker 1: the Belling home game Bellingham and Seahome. I tell you,
- 30:42Speaker 1: if you haven't been to one of these, they are amazing.
- 30:45Speaker 1: They they have all these competitions in the crowd during
- 30:50Speaker 1: timeouts and halftime and it is something to see. I
- 30:55Speaker 1: tell you, I'm telling you it is worth it. Go
- 30:57Speaker 1: check it out. There'll be a doubleheader at sea Home
- 31:00Speaker 1: for the Belling home game Bellingham at seom. It's a
- 31:03Speaker 1: really really fun rivalry. And of course for you old
- 31:05Speaker 1: timers out there, if you were going to go to
- 31:08Speaker 1: one basketball game a year, boys basketball game, especially back
- 31:12Speaker 1: in the day it was Bellingham Sealm, that place would
- 31:15Speaker 1: be rocking on Friday night. I love this girls basketball
- 31:19Speaker 1: matchup Squalkum at Nooksack Valley. That is just I I'm
- 31:25Speaker 1: really excited for that. I think it's going to be
- 31:26Speaker 1: a fantastic game. I think it's a very good matchup
- 31:30Speaker 1: where it could be a really really close game. And
- 31:33Speaker 1: then of course the big ones that you know on Saturday,
- 31:36Speaker 1: this is you know, this is where East the Eastern
- 31:38Speaker 1: County just closes because boys basketball at two thirty in

- 31:53Speaker 1: all these things. Even if you're a media member, you
