- 0:38Speaker 2: that a little later on. Also got to talk about
- 0:41Speaker 2: Walton Beverage. Walton Beverage has been a staple in our
- 0:44Speaker 2: community for over ninety years and I will continue to
- 0:47Speaker 2: work harder every day to make the fantastic people at
- 0:49Speaker 2: Walton Beverage proud to sponsor youth sports and our community.
- 0:53Speaker 2: They deliver superior quality and commitment, and I plan to
- 0:57Speaker 2: do the very same. Let us start with girls golf.
- 1:02Speaker 2: As of now in the conference, Blaine is ranked fourth,
- 1:05Speaker 2: Ferndale sixth, Squalicum seventh, and Sea Home eighth. You look
- 1:09Speaker 2: at the top ten right now and it's a lot
- 1:12Speaker 2: of the same names. A little bit of moving around
- 1:14Speaker 2: in positions. In tenth place is Elena A. Dell of
- 1:18Speaker 2: Sea Home, averaging one oh six. Big tie here in
- 1:24Speaker 2: sixth place with four golfers, two from Squalkum, two from Blaine,
- 1:29Speaker 2: the two from Squalkham Gabriella Kahn and Abigail Fife, and
- 1:33Speaker 2: the two from Blaine Marcella Bring and thora Engen, all
- 1:36Speaker 2: averaging one oh five and then breaking into double digits.
- 1:41Speaker 2: Fifth place is Stella Hogan of Seahome with ninety nine.
- 1:44Speaker 2: In fourth place, it's Dallas Ranky of Meridian ninety seven
- 1:48Speaker 2: in third place, Emily O'Toole of Ferndale ninety two in
- 1:52Speaker 2: second place, Cali Tan of Meridian eighty six, and still
- 1:56Speaker 2: in first place in Wakam County is Lynden Senior Kinsley Rector,
- 2:00Speaker 2: who's averaging eighty three. Getting right down here to the
- 2:05Speaker 2: very end. We've got a few meets left this week.
- 2:10Speaker 2: On Monday two o'clock out at Lake Padden golf Course.
- 2:14Speaker 2: There'll be a lot of Walking County schools there. There'll
- 2:16Speaker 2: be seven schools there, six of them, I'm sorry, five
- 2:19Speaker 2: of them from Walking County, Sea Home, Blaine, Lynden, Ferndale
- 2:22Speaker 2: and Linden Christian and then on Thursday out at the
- 2:25Speaker 2: wid Be Golf Club, Mount Baker, Bellingham, Niksack Valley and Squalicum.
- 2:31Speaker 2: We'll all compete there. So I'm looking around. That means
- 2:36Speaker 2: there's got to be a school that's not competing this week.
- 2:39Speaker 2: Why am I missing? Am I missing something here? Lynden Christian?
- 2:43Speaker 2: I don't see. Oh No, Lyndon Christian's at Lake Padden. Meridian,
- 2:48Speaker 2: that's the school I do not see, So help me
- 2:51Speaker 2: out here. If Meridian is playing at either of these events,
- 2:55Speaker 2: it's not showing here on the schedule. So I would
- 2:59Speaker 2: imagine they'd be at one of them, probably the Lake
- 3:01Speaker 2: Padden Golf Course, because there's only seven schools competing at
- 3:04Speaker 2: that one, so I'm hoping Meridian will be there as well.
- 3:07Speaker 2: I'll be out there most likely, because you know, that's
- 3:11Speaker 2: what I love about the golf is that it starts
- 3:13Speaker 2: early enough to where I can get to some golf
- 3:15Speaker 2: before I hit other sports and walk around for quite
- 3:18Speaker 2: a while, get some pictures. So that'll be two o'clock
- 3:21Speaker 2: at the Lake Padden Golf Course and hope, if the
- 3:25Speaker 2: weather continues like it's been, that will be fantastic. Let
- 3:30Speaker 2: us go to boys Golf now and currently Ferndale now
- 3:33Speaker 2: has moved up to second place in the conference, Seahomes
- 3:37Speaker 2: in fifth, Meridian sixth, and Bellingham seventh. And we look
- 3:41Speaker 2: at the top ten and tenth places. Jackson Neva of
- 3:44Speaker 2: Seahome averaging eighty four point five. Ninth place is Cold
- 3:48Speaker 2: Ward of Lennon Christian eighty four point four, Eighth place
- 3:51Speaker 2: is Alex Miller of Seahome averaging eighty four, and seventh
- 3:55Speaker 2: place is Gavin Nable of Ferndale eighty three point four.
- 3:59Speaker 2: In sixth place is Dylan Grace of Bellingham averaging eighty
- 4:03Speaker 2: three point two. And what's interesting about his I've been
- 4:06Speaker 2: watching him and every single event he shot a better
- 4:10Speaker 2: score every single time, So you might see him start
- 4:14Speaker 2: moving up this and you know, if it goes the
- 4:16Speaker 2: if it just keeps going the way it wants to
- 4:18Speaker 2: be going for him, he's gonna compete really well in
- 4:21Speaker 2: the postseason, So pretty excited for that. In fifth place
- 4:24Speaker 2: is Kingston Pereira of Lenny Cushion shooting in eighty three.
- 4:28Speaker 2: In fourth place Shay Campbell of Bellingham eighty one and
- 4:30Speaker 2: a half. Third place Cameron Fiarra of Ferndale seventy nine
- 4:35Speaker 2: point four. In second place is Travis Brocky, the third
- 4:38Speaker 2: of Ferndale, seventy seven point four. He had a great week,
- 4:41Speaker 2: And in first place is still Matthew Blankenberg of Meridian,
- 4:45Speaker 2: averaging a seventy six per eighteen holes. So it's kind
- 4:50Speaker 2: of the same a lot of the same names here,
- 4:51Speaker 2: a little bit of moving around. If you look at
- 4:54Speaker 2: this upcoming week on Tuesday, you got all the boys
- 4:59Speaker 2: golf team's pla uh in the Northwest Conference, eight of
- 5:02Speaker 2: them at Avalon Golf Links, eight of them it says
- 5:05Speaker 2: at Mount Baker High School. I don't think they're gonna
- 5:08Speaker 2: think they're gonna like, you know, hit one off the
- 5:11Speaker 2: field house and then onto the you know here and there.
- 5:14Speaker 2: They're probably gonna play at North Bellingham if it says
- 5:17Speaker 2: Mount Baker High School. If Mount Baker's hosting it, it's
- 5:19Speaker 2: probably gonna be at North Bellingham golf Course. But both
- 5:24Speaker 2: of those, both of those events will be at three
- 5:26Speaker 2: o'clock at Avalon Golf Links, you'll see Blaine, Lynden, Meridian, Lynnen,
- 5:30Speaker 2: Christian and Squalicum. And at North Bellingham will be Mount Baker,
- 5:34Speaker 2: Knikseck Valley, Bellingham, Ferndale and Seahome, So those those will
- 5:40Speaker 2: be both events, like I said early in the week,
- 5:42Speaker 2: Tuesday at three o'clock, both starting at the same time
- 5:46Speaker 2: as well, probably be out there at North Bellingham on
- 5:49Speaker 2: Tuesday to check out some of the local golfers there.
- 5:53Speaker 2: So so now we move on to girls tennis, and
- 5:58Speaker 2: we had some big time matchups this week, and so
- 6:03Speaker 2: because of that we got some It's really starting. The
- 6:06Speaker 2: standings are really starting to spread out a little bit.
- 6:10Speaker 2: Everyone's starting to play everybody else quite a bit. And
- 6:13Speaker 2: Lyndon is surviving now as the only undefeated team at
- 6:16Speaker 2: ten and oh after they beat Seaholm this past week
- 6:18Speaker 2: see Home eight and one. This is in league play.
- 6:21Speaker 2: Bellingham's eight and two, squal comes seven and three. So
- 6:24Speaker 2: the top four teams are all from Walker County doing
- 6:27Speaker 2: very very well. Ferndale's five and five, and Blaine is
- 6:30Speaker 2: one and six. But I think I have a feeling
- 6:32Speaker 2: Blaine's gonna do some pretty good things this week because
- 6:36Speaker 2: when you look at this week's schedule, Yes, they will
- 6:39Speaker 2: be at Sea Hoome on Monday, that's a tall task,
- 6:41Speaker 2: but then they host Lakewood on Tuesday and then host
- 6:44Speaker 2: Burlington Edison on Wednesday, and those are winnable matches. I
- 6:49Speaker 2: think that Lakewood one could go down. Will probably be
- 6:52Speaker 2: a four to three match either way, it's gonna be
- 6:54Speaker 2: very even. But I do think they could take down Burlington,
- 7:00Speaker 2: so that'll get them up on the standings a little bit.
- 7:03Speaker 2: When you look at this week with all the teams.
- 7:06Speaker 2: On Monday, Bellingham will be at Burlington, Edison, Ferndale will
- 7:10Speaker 2: be at Oak Harbor, Squalkum will be at Anachordus, Lyndon
- 7:13Speaker 2: at Mount Vernon, and Blaine at Seahome. At Blaine at
- 7:18Speaker 2: Seahome one probably where I will go. It's the only
- 7:22Speaker 2: Walking County versus Walking County there and it's the only
- 7:24Speaker 2: match that's being played in Walking County on Tuesday. Like
- 7:27Speaker 2: I said, Lakewood will be at Blaine. I'm gonna try
- 7:30Speaker 2: to be out at that one on Wednesday. If you
- 7:34Speaker 2: look at it, pretty busy as well. Sedre Willie at Lyndon,
- 7:38Speaker 2: Mount Vernon at Bellingham, and Acordus at Ferndale, Burlington, Edison
- 7:42Speaker 2: at Blaine, and Seahome at Squalkum. Not quite sure where
- 7:45Speaker 2: I'll go there, kind of depends on the rest of
- 7:48Speaker 2: the scheduling. Usually Wednesday has got a lot of track meet,
- 7:52Speaker 2: so we'll probably go to one that's close to a
- 7:54Speaker 2: track meet. On Friday. Bellingham will be at Sedgar Willy,
- 7:59Speaker 2: Squalicum at Arlington, Edison, Lynden at Oak Harbor, Lakewood at Ferndale,
- 8:03Speaker 2: Mount Vernon at Blaine, and Anacortus at Sea Home. So
- 8:07Speaker 2: you got six different matchups, all walking county versus non
- 8:10Speaker 2: walking county, so which means I'll have a lot to
- 8:14Speaker 2: write about. Same as Wednesday. It's the exact same thing
- 8:17Speaker 2: as Wednesday. So yeah, a lot of box scores and
- 8:21Speaker 2: stuff like that, but hey, that's what I signed up for,
- 8:23Speaker 2: right So right now, Linnen, you know, like I said,
- 8:27Speaker 2: with the lead, they only undefeated team this week, they
- 8:30Speaker 2: have Mount Vernon who's seven and four, They have Sedraw
- 8:35Speaker 2: Woolley who's four and six, and then they play Oak
- 8:38Speaker 2: Harbor who's five and six. So the toughest task will
- 8:41Speaker 2: be that first one when they go on the road
- 8:46Speaker 2: to Mount Vernon. But you know, Linden is pretty darn strong,
- 8:49Speaker 2: so we'll just kind of see how that ends up.
- 8:54Speaker 2: We take a look at track and field now, and
- 8:57Speaker 2: of course track and Field is brought to you by
- 8:59Speaker 2: Stafford Insurance. Give them a call three six zero seven
- 9:02Speaker 2: four six eight eight zero three or in person at
- 9:05Speaker 2: nineteen oh three Front Street in London, or go online
- 9:08Speaker 2: and check them out at Stafford Insurance dot com. That's
- 9:11Speaker 2: st A U F F E R Insurance dot com.
- 9:15Speaker 2: They are happy to help. We had the Big Easton
- 9:18Speaker 2: Invitational over the weekend. A lot of really you know,
- 9:22Speaker 2: I mean amazing schools there and athletes, and we got
- 9:27Speaker 2: a new we got a few new leaders here. When
- 9:30Speaker 2: we take a look at everything in the one hundred
- 9:32Speaker 2: meters and we're gonna start with the girls side and
- 9:35Speaker 2: the hundred meters. Sonoma Smith of Bellingham she upped her
- 9:38Speaker 2: time to twelve point twenty five now, uh And in
- 9:41Speaker 2: the two hundred meters she did the same thing at
- 9:43Speaker 2: twenty five point twenty five. You know. And I tell
- 9:46Speaker 2: you what, you run against really really really good competition,
- 9:50Speaker 2: especially the sprinters, and it brings out the best in you.
- 9:55Speaker 2: I think. In the hundred meters, I mean I think
- 9:56Speaker 2: she got like tenth place and she had her best
- 9:59Speaker 2: ever time and it was something. I mean in the
- 10:01Speaker 2: two hundred meters, I think that's the third best time
- 10:04Speaker 2: in school history. So it's really cool to see that
- 10:08Speaker 2: when these athletes get pushed like that, pretty awesome. In
- 10:11Speaker 2: the one hundred meter hurdles, Jolie Paz bettered her time
- 10:14Speaker 2: with a fifteen point zero six that's the second best
- 10:17Speaker 2: in school history. She's eyeing that school record, I'm sure.
- 10:23Speaker 2: And that was and that was good enough to take
- 10:25Speaker 2: second place at the Easton Invitational, which is incredible, very
- 10:30Speaker 2: very hard to place and at that meet. In the
- 10:33Speaker 2: three hundred meters, Kira Reeves of Seaholme took over the
- 10:36Speaker 2: lead now with a time of forty six point three seven.
- 10:39Speaker 2: In the four by one hundred relay, it's the same
- 10:42Speaker 2: team of Adrian Phillips, Bradley Valiant, Madeline Hill and Kylie
- 10:45Speaker 2: Ivsovic of Seahome just under fifty seconds at forty nine
- 10:50Speaker 2: point nine to nine. We have the new team of
- 10:54Speaker 2: Madeleine Hill, Kira Reeves, Amaya Reid and Samantha Nip of
- 10:57Speaker 2: Seahome in the four by four hundred relay they have
- 11:00Speaker 2: the best time now at four minutes three point two
- 11:03Speaker 2: six seconds. So those were the top times in girls
- 11:07Speaker 2: track and field that are that are new this week.
- 11:10Speaker 2: On the boys side, we have a handful as well
- 11:12Speaker 2: as as well as a few school records to talk about.
- 11:16Speaker 2: On the one hundred meter dash, the first runner to
- 11:18Speaker 2: break eleven seconds this year Conrad Timmer of Lyndon. Ten
- 11:22Speaker 2: point nine to seven. Uh, that is that is cruising.
- 11:28Speaker 2: And just to give you an idea, there is a
- 11:32Speaker 2: conversion calculator where you can put in, like, you know,
- 11:35Speaker 2: ten point nine to seven in the hundred meters and
- 11:37Speaker 2: you can convert it to what would that be in
- 11:40Speaker 2: the forty yard dash, which a lot of people are
- 11:42Speaker 2: familiar with with the combine, the NFL combine football players
- 11:45Speaker 2: and stuff like that. So that's it. That's an equivalent
- 11:47Speaker 2: to someone running a four point five to seven, which
- 11:50Speaker 2: is pretty darn fast, is you know, you're talking about
- 11:54Speaker 2: professional athletes running that, so pretty pretty incredible Conrad Timmer,
- 12:00Speaker 2: awesome kid. Congratulations to him of Lyndon being the first
- 12:05Speaker 2: this year to break eleven seconds in one hundred meter dash.
- 12:08Speaker 2: In the two hundred meters, it's still lucas loalgy but
- 12:12Speaker 2: lynnon Christian's voice, Robertson broke the school record with a
- 12:15Speaker 2: time of twenty two point sixty nine, So congratulations to him.
- 12:20Speaker 2: In the eight hundred meters. Ruben Taveldi of Meridan broke
- 12:23Speaker 2: his own time and a new school record at in
- 12:28Speaker 2: the eight hundred meters at one minute fifty six point
- 12:30Speaker 2: one seconds. Like I said, that is a new school record.
- 12:34Speaker 2: He now he has the school record in the eight
- 12:36Speaker 2: hundred and the sixteen hundred. Pretty incredible. There another awesome kid,
- 12:40Speaker 2: uh in the one hundred and ten meter hurdles and
- 12:43Speaker 2: the three hundred meter hurdles. This is incredible. This is
- 12:46Speaker 2: I don't know if this has ever been done before,
- 12:48Speaker 2: at least that I can remember, where two teammates each
- 12:52Speaker 2: break school records and they're two different athletes in the
- 12:55Speaker 2: two different hurdle events. Usually it's the same guy, you know,
- 12:59Speaker 2: it's kind of the main hurdler in both events. But
- 13:01Speaker 2: you have Asher Sam's of Lindon, who became the first
- 13:05Speaker 2: Linden athlete that I know of. Now, you know, Coach
- 13:09Speaker 2: Bamber might know different. I don't know what it says
- 13:11Speaker 2: on the big board up in the Jake Mayberry Gymnasium
- 13:14Speaker 2: for the best one hundred and ten meter hurdle time,
- 13:18Speaker 2: but I thought it was Brian Hepner at fifteen seconds flat.
- 13:22Speaker 2: That's what I had anyway with my research. But Asher
- 13:25Speaker 2: SAMs of Lyndon fourteen point nine to six over the weekend,
- 13:28Speaker 2: so as far as I know, that's a new school record.
- 13:31Speaker 2: And then in the three hundred meter hurdles, Jack Lovegren
- 13:34Speaker 2: thirty nine point two to two, which is a new
- 13:36Speaker 2: school record as well. So you start looking at this
- 13:38Speaker 2: Linden team with Conrad Timmer and Lucas Lolgi and Asher
- 13:41Speaker 2: Sam's Jack Lovegren and you know, we'll talk about the
- 13:44Speaker 2: pole vaulters in a little bit, and it's like the
- 13:47Speaker 2: relay teams are really good. This is a this is
- 13:49Speaker 2: a boys team that could be eyeing a state championship,
- 13:52Speaker 2: which is really exciting. In the four x four hundred
- 13:56Speaker 2: relay it's the Linden team. What do you know, another
- 13:59Speaker 2: Linden team of Evan Badjima, Jack Lovegren, Lucas Lolgy and
- 14:02Speaker 2: Conrad Timmer with a time of three minutes twenty seven
- 14:05Speaker 2: point three seven seconds. And then also in the pole
- 14:09Speaker 2: vault it has been Blaz's love Grin of Lindon at
- 14:13Speaker 2: fourteen feet six inches. Now he has company with his
- 14:16Speaker 2: teammate Philip and I want to hopefully I'm saying it right,
- 14:20Speaker 2: Is it Fousy or Fous of Lindon fourteen feet six
- 14:24Speaker 2: inches as well, So two teammates now with the walka
- 14:28Speaker 2: county high of fourteen feet six inches. I believe the
- 14:30Speaker 2: school record is fourteen feet nine inches, so you've got
- 14:34Speaker 2: a couple of guys they're going for it. So it's
- 14:37Speaker 2: just incredible. You know, some really really good athletes and
- 14:41Speaker 2: you're coming down the stretch, and it seems like every
- 14:43Speaker 2: week we're talking about new school records being broken. It's
- 14:46Speaker 2: happening left and right. So if you go to these events,
- 14:49Speaker 2: you could be witnessing history, and that's what makes it
- 14:51Speaker 2: so fun. And now we have to talk about the
- 14:53Speaker 2: Staffer Insurance Track and Field Athlete of the Week, and
- 14:58Speaker 2: I'm giving it to somebody that won it already, which
- 15:01Speaker 2: is something I usually don't do, but man, it's hard
- 15:04Speaker 2: to ignore what Jolie Paz did at the Easton Invitational.
- 15:09Speaker 2: She won the shot put out of all those you
- 15:13Speaker 2: know athletes, and she took second place in one hundred
- 15:15Speaker 2: meter hurdles. So you know, it's so hard to take
- 15:18Speaker 2: first or even place in any of these events, and
- 15:22Speaker 2: she took first the shot put, second in the hundred
- 15:24Speaker 2: meter hurdles, so that is incredible. So congratulations to Jolie
- 15:29Speaker 2: for being named the Track and the Stopfer Insurance Track
- 15:32Speaker 2: and Field Athlete of the Week. We take a look
- 15:36Speaker 2: at what's coming up in track and field this week,
- 15:39Speaker 2: and we're back to some more conference meets during the week.
- 15:43Speaker 2: On Wednesday, every school, it looks like every school is competing,
- 15:48Speaker 2: and you got a lot going on with the Walking
- 15:50Speaker 2: County schools. Out at Meridian High School there will be Meridian,
- 15:53Speaker 2: Bellingham and Lyndon. Those are three really good teams. I
- 15:56Speaker 2: think that'd be a fun event to go to. And
- 15:59Speaker 2: then out at Civic Stadium, Squalalkum will be hosting NUKXAC Valley,
- 16:03Speaker 2: Seahome in Oak Harbor, and then out at Ferndale High
- 16:06Speaker 2: School they're gonna be hosting Lakewood and Linden Christian. So
- 16:09Speaker 2: all these track and field events are happening at four
- 16:12Speaker 2: o'clock on Wednesday. I was just talking earlier about the tennis,
- 16:17Speaker 2: like where I'll be going. I said, it'll probably It'll
- 16:20Speaker 2: probably be something that'll be close to one of those events.
- 16:24Speaker 2: You know, it might be Seahome Squalicum that I go to,
- 16:27Speaker 2: and then I head out to Civic Stadium, it could
- 16:29Speaker 2: be anti Chortus at Ferndale and I just walk on
- 16:31Speaker 2: over to see the Ferndale track and field event and that,
- 16:35Speaker 2: and they're both close to the Meridian one. I kind
- 16:37Speaker 2: of like that Meridian one with Bellingham and Linden. I
- 16:40Speaker 2: just think that there's a lot of really good athletes
- 16:43Speaker 2: at that one. That might be the one that I
- 16:45Speaker 2: gravitate towards. It's gonna be tough to say, but it's
- 16:50Speaker 2: gonna be and hopefully, like again, hopefully the weather will
- 16:53Speaker 2: be great. It makes for some really good scores. So
- 16:57Speaker 2: so that is what's coming up. Also, So on Saturday,
- 17:02Speaker 2: there will be the sunny and seventy out at Lakewood
- 17:05Speaker 2: High School. A lot of schools involved here probably you know,
- 17:09Speaker 2: twenty twenty four something like that. Bellingham will be there,
- 17:13Speaker 2: Linden will be there, Seahom will be there, Squalk will
- 17:16Speaker 2: be there, Meridian will be there. So that's a that's
- 17:19Speaker 2: a pretty cool event there too. That'll be That'll be
- 17:21Speaker 2: all day on Saturday at Lakewood High School. Let's go
- 17:26Speaker 2: to boys Soccer Now and boys Soccer sponsored by North
- 17:29Speaker 2: County Alliance FC. Go visit them online at ncalliance FC
- 17:34Speaker 2: dot com. Check out how you can get involved in
- 17:37Speaker 2: all different levels of competition, club, competitive and recreation soccer.
- 17:44Speaker 2: And they're they're an amazing sponsor. I mean they they
- 17:46Speaker 2: take care of everything, the standings, the goal leaders, the
- 17:50Speaker 2: the recaps, you know, every single thing, the player of
- 17:53Speaker 2: the week, and uh, they're all about it. So I'm
- 17:57Speaker 2: just so lucky that I was able to connect with
- 17:59Speaker 2: them and uh and know that they're in it for
- 18:02Speaker 2: the long haul and that they have trusted me, which
- 18:04Speaker 2: gives me a ton of confidence. So that's exactly what
- 18:07Speaker 2: I need. Let's take a look at the standings. First
- 18:12Speaker 2: Squalicum's still undefeated a fourteen and oh on the year
- 18:15Speaker 2: see home eleven to oh to three, so I haven't
- 18:18Speaker 2: lost yet, but they do have three ties and I
- 18:22Speaker 2: think believe they're both ranked in the top three in
- 18:25Speaker 2: the RPI for two way soccer. So again, I love
- 18:28Speaker 2: how they scheduled this the last couple of years at
- 18:30Speaker 2: the very end of the season, and it's been always
- 18:33Speaker 2: a great match at the end of the season, and
- 18:35Speaker 2: then they usually meet for the district championship, which has
- 18:37Speaker 2: been great the last few years. I think it's been
- 18:39Speaker 2: a shootout the last few years, so Man it's it's
- 18:45Speaker 2: so cool and uh, you know, I was talking on
- 18:48Speaker 2: the raid on the Zone with the guys on the
- 18:50Speaker 2: radio about these two teams and how you know it's
- 18:53Speaker 2: that's just kind of the way that it's been. But
- 18:55Speaker 2: you know, last few years, Seaholm has kind of been
- 18:57Speaker 2: that favorite team, where this year Squalicum is that is
- 19:00Speaker 2: that favorite team now. But it should be still a
- 19:03Speaker 2: really good game. Lyndon nine to three and two right there,
- 19:07Speaker 2: kind of that next up team in Walkin County Meridian
- 19:10Speaker 2: eight three and three, Ferndale eight five and one, Lyndon
- 19:13Speaker 2: Christian seven and seven. Bellingham had a great week. They
- 19:16Speaker 2: moved up to five seven and two. They've won three
- 19:19Speaker 2: in a row now. I believe they have three shutouts
- 19:21Speaker 2: in a row as well. Blaine is two ten and one,
- 19:23Speaker 2: Knukxac Valley one and thirteen, and Mount Baker's still looking
- 19:26Speaker 2: for their first win of the season. We take a
- 19:30Speaker 2: look at this this past week with the games Tuesday,
- 19:34Speaker 2: all the teams were in action, Seahome at London. I
- 19:37Speaker 2: was at that one for a little bit, a one
- 19:39Speaker 2: to one stalemate, a couple of really really good teams,
- 19:44Speaker 2: and it was extremely physical. There was a really unfortunate
- 19:49Speaker 2: injury that happened late there in the game, probably with
- 19:52Speaker 2: about ten minutes to go. We're one of Seaholme's best
- 19:56Speaker 2: players there, Mason Ivshevik went up for I don't know
- 20:00Speaker 2: if it was for a header or something, but there
- 20:02Speaker 2: was there. There was a collision and uh boy, he
- 20:06Speaker 2: he's doing okay. I've been in touch with him, but
- 20:09Speaker 2: I don't know when he'll be able to play again.
- 20:12Speaker 2: Uh Nooks and I probally lost to Mount Vernon six
- 20:14Speaker 2: to two, but really cool to see the Pioneers put
- 20:16Speaker 2: up a couple of goals against that Mount Vernon team,
- 20:18Speaker 2: which not a lot of teams have done this year.
- 20:20Speaker 2: Meridian beat Okarb three to one, Bellingham blanked Mount Baker
- 20:24Speaker 2: seven to zero, and a Cordus over Blaying three to zero.
- 20:26Speaker 2: Ferndale beat Lyndon Christian three to one, and Squalicum beat
- 20:31Speaker 2: Lakewood four to one. UH no games Wednesday. They played
- 20:35Speaker 2: on Thursday Okarb with the four foot win over Mount Baker,
- 20:38Speaker 2: squal Them beat Linden Christian five to one, all five
- 20:42Speaker 2: goals scored by Maddick Strickland. That's incredible, And you know,
- 20:47Speaker 2: I've seen games where someone scores four or five goals,
- 20:50Speaker 2: and sometimes it's in a you know, ten nothing game
- 20:53Speaker 2: or some sort of blowout, but this was a closer
- 20:57Speaker 2: game against a quality appointment on the road. So for
- 21:00Speaker 2: him to score all five goals pretty pretty incredible. Bellingham
- 21:04Speaker 2: beat Berley cenedis and two to zero, Meridian over Lake
- 21:07Speaker 2: with three zero and a Cortus beaten Luksak Valley for zero.
- 21:11Speaker 2: Lynnon beat Ferndale three to one in a really good
- 21:14Speaker 2: match there. I watched a lot of that online and
- 21:16Speaker 2: see Home beat Blane four zero. So those were the
- 21:20Speaker 2: matches this week. Basically everybody getting two matches in during
- 21:24Speaker 2: the week, all conference matches, and so that brings us
- 21:29Speaker 2: to the North County Alliance FC Player of the Week.
- 21:33Speaker 2: You know, and I was serious. I was thinking about
- 21:35Speaker 2: giving it to Bellingham's goaltender, but when Matti Strickland had
- 21:41Speaker 2: that game against Lennon Christian, I mean it was a
- 21:44Speaker 2: no brainer after that scoring five goals. So Mattick Strickland,
- 21:49Speaker 2: second week in a row, I did it again where
- 21:52Speaker 2: I'm giving it to somebody again, but I had to.
- 21:55Speaker 2: He is your North County Alliance FC Player of the Week.
- 21:58Speaker 2: Let's take a look at the goal leaders so far
- 22:02Speaker 2: this year, and in tenth place is Ferdale senior Evan
- 22:06Speaker 2: Saxman with eight goals. Then you have a logjam here
- 22:09Speaker 2: at sixth place with four guys that have scored nine
- 22:12Speaker 2: goals each. A couple of Golden Eagles, a couple of
- 22:14Speaker 2: Squalicum Storm players a Hanu Fasani of Ferndale and and
- 22:19Speaker 2: Andre Savanko have each scored nine goals, and then have
- 22:23Speaker 2: Squalicum Isaac Grimes and Cole Oswald have each scored nine
- 22:27Speaker 2: goals and tied for fourth place with ten goals each.
- 22:30Speaker 2: Skyler Rowe of Meridian and Eddie Brasino of Lindon and
- 22:34Speaker 2: Marcus Kanaan and Mason Ivsovik are tied for second place
- 22:39Speaker 2: with twelve goals each, and then Maddick Strickland is leading.
- 22:45Speaker 2: I said the second place the two guys were tied
- 22:47Speaker 2: with twelve. Just as you're listening to this, Okay, the
- 22:51Speaker 2: second place guys are tied with twelve goals. How many
- 22:54Speaker 2: goals do you think Mattick Strickland has, say it out loud, Okay,
- 23:00Speaker 2: as twenty seven goals on the season. And I'm just
- 23:03Speaker 2: curious if anyone was close when they said that, let
- 23:05Speaker 2: me know, that was just It's just an incredible number.
- 23:08Speaker 2: And it makes it even more incredible when you see that,
- 23:12Speaker 2: you know, the two guys tied for second place. If
- 23:14Speaker 2: you add their two together, it's still not as many
- 23:17Speaker 2: as Matti Strickland has scored this year. So pretty incredible.
- 23:22Speaker 2: I know we had that nasty injury in football when
- 23:25Speaker 2: his liver was lacerated, and I actually saw him in
- 23:29Speaker 2: the emergency room that night. That was that. That was
- 23:33Speaker 2: that crazy night when squal can beat Anaccordus and football
- 23:36Speaker 2: and and it's I'm just so glad that he's healthy
- 23:41Speaker 2: and he's doing what he loves and he's playing so well,
- 23:43Speaker 2: So very very happy for him, doing a great, great job,
- 23:48Speaker 2: and he's a great kid. Well let's take a look
- 23:51Speaker 2: at this upcoming week, and it's a lot like last
- 23:54Speaker 2: week as far as you know. Full slate of games
- 23:57Speaker 2: Tuesday and Thursday. There's an a Dish non conference game
- 24:01Speaker 2: on Friday that we'll talk about. On Tuesday, Lyndon Christian
- 24:05Speaker 2: at Linden it's the Battle of the Dutch wooden Shoes
- 24:10Speaker 2: at Benderfield's four thirty. Should be a pretty good game.
- 24:14Speaker 2: I saw that harvest Howell was back out there on
- 24:16Speaker 2: the field, so that's huge for the for the Lynx
- 24:19Speaker 2: and Linden should be favored in this one. But but
- 24:22Speaker 2: getting how back is is pretty awesome. Both these teams
- 24:26Speaker 2: used to playing on grass, so this should just should
- 24:30Speaker 2: go pretty well. Mount Vernon at Bellingham. Can Bellingham keep
- 24:33Speaker 2: that winning streak alive. It's gonna be extremely tough, even
- 24:36Speaker 2: though it's at home. It's against those Bulldogs. Ferndale at Blaine,
- 24:41Speaker 2: Mount Baker at Lakewood, Nuksack Valley at Seahome, and then
- 24:45Speaker 2: Meridian at Squalka. That Meridian at Squalkham game could be
- 24:49Speaker 2: extremely good. Meridian playing very very well right now. Of
- 24:55Speaker 2: course Squalic I'm undefeated, so but Meridian they they we
- 25:00Speaker 2: have the ability to upset a team like Squalicum. They
- 25:03Speaker 2: have the kinds of players to do that, so you know.
- 25:07Speaker 2: But so Squalkum will be ready. That's gonna be a great,
- 25:09Speaker 2: great matchup. On Thursday, Oak Harbor will come to town
- 25:12Speaker 2: and play Lyndon at Benderfield's Seedrow. Woolley will take on
- 25:16Speaker 2: Nuksack Valley. Lenny Christian travels to Burlington, Edison, Bellingham at Blaine,
- 25:21Speaker 2: Meridian at Anacortis Mount Vernon at Mount Baker, Ferndale at Lakewood,
- 25:26Speaker 2: and then oh yes, the big one, Squalicum at Sea Home.
- 25:32Speaker 2: That's gonna be fantastic. I can't see why I won't
- 25:38Speaker 2: be out at that one. I feel like I've gone
- 25:40Speaker 2: to I feel like I've seen them play like I
- 25:42Speaker 2: don't know, four or five times in the last few years.
- 25:46Speaker 2: Every time they play each other, it's a really really
- 25:49Speaker 2: important game, and I always make sure that I'm there,
- 25:51Speaker 2: and they're always very, very good games. And then on
- 25:54Speaker 2: Friday night at five o'clock, Nucksack Valley will travel south
- 25:57Speaker 2: to take on Sultan in a non conference game there.
- 26:02Speaker 2: And I don't know if that has anything to do
- 26:04Speaker 2: with I mean, Sultan's two ways, so it shouldn't. I
- 26:07Speaker 2: think they're just trying to get a game in there before, uh,
- 26:10Speaker 2: you know, before districts start and stuff like that. I
- 26:12Speaker 2: was gonna say, maybe there, maybe that has to do
- 26:14Speaker 2: with something with seeding or something for districts for postseason play,
- 26:18Speaker 2: but it doesn't. It couldn't because uh, Sultan's two way.
- 26:21Speaker 2: So uh So, if that is the schedule for boys
- 26:24Speaker 2: soccer coming up and a lot of good games going
- 26:28Speaker 2: on Squalcom's got a tough one. They got Meridian and
- 26:30Speaker 2: then see Home, so that's gonna be, you know, extremely
- 26:33Speaker 2: important for them. Well, let's move on to fast Pitch. Now,
- 26:37Speaker 2: Fast Pitch, of course, the daily recaps are brought to
- 26:39Speaker 2: you by Walcome Wolverines Fast Pitch Club. You can visit
- 26:43Speaker 2: them online at wacome Wolverines dot com. They got all
- 26:46Speaker 2: sorts of different levels of play for ages eighteen U,

- 26:56Speaker 2: another great great sponsor they did you know the daily
- 27:00Speaker 2: recaps those are those are pretty much every every day,
- 27:03Speaker 2: so it's a it's a fun sponsor to have. They
- 27:05Speaker 2: also sponsor the walk Wolverines Fast Pitched Player of the Week,
- 27:09Speaker 2: which we'll talk about in a little bit. And then
- 27:12Speaker 2: let's take a look at the standings. Standings are brought
- 27:14Speaker 2: to you by Acceleration Driving School in Linden. Many of
- 27:17Speaker 2: you out there are learning to drive, and I strongly
- 27:19Speaker 2: advise you to check out Acceleration Driving School in Linden.
- 27:23Speaker 2: Give Kevin a call three six zero seven four six
- 27:26Speaker 2: four five six seven and tell him you heard about
- 27:29Speaker 2: them on the Walkham Preps podcast. I saw one of
- 27:32Speaker 2: the cars the other day. It was awesome. I saw
- 27:34Speaker 2: the little Walkham Preps sticker on the side by the
- 27:37Speaker 2: back window. So so so cool, very very proud to
- 27:41Speaker 2: be a partner with them. And when you look at
- 27:44Speaker 2: the standings, not a lot has changed near the top.
- 27:47Speaker 2: So you got Ferndale, Linen, and Linden Christian that are
- 27:50Speaker 2: all eight and two in conference play. Ferndale ten and
- 27:54Speaker 2: three overall, Linden ten and four overall, Linden Christian ten
- 27:57Speaker 2: and six overall. Blaine move up in the standings a
- 28:00Speaker 2: little bit and they tied with Nuksack Valley, so both
- 28:03Speaker 2: teams are five and five, but Blaine edges them out
- 28:06Speaker 2: as they have the conference win over Nucksack Valley, so
- 28:09Speaker 2: Blaine ahead of them. They're seven and six overall, Nuksack
- 28:12Speaker 2: Valley seven and eight. See Home three and eight overall
- 28:17Speaker 2: four or sorry, three and eight in conference play, four
- 28:19Speaker 2: and eight overall, Mount Baker two and eight in conference play,
- 28:22Speaker 2: two and eleven overall, Meridian one in eight in conference play,
- 28:25Speaker 2: two and eleven overall, and Bellingham still looking to get
- 28:28Speaker 2: their first win. So those are the standings. Let's take
- 28:32Speaker 2: a look at the stat leaders and the stat Leaders
- 28:35Speaker 2: and the Daily Scoreboards are both brought to you by
- 28:38Speaker 2: Mana Insurance Group. You check them out online at Mana
- 28:42Speaker 2: Insurancegroup dot com or in person at seven hundred Front
- 28:46Speaker 2: Street and Lyndon are giving them a call at three
- 28:48Speaker 2: six zero nine two two zero one four nine ask
- 28:53Speaker 2: for Blake Whitman. That dude is awesome. He will hook
- 28:56Speaker 2: you up. So let's take a look. Well, let's take
- 29:00Speaker 2: look at the games that happened this past week and
- 29:01Speaker 2: then we'll go to the stat leaders. So you take
- 29:03Speaker 2: a look at the games. No games on Monday, but
- 29:06Speaker 2: on Tuesday again, a full slate they've been. It makes
- 29:09Speaker 2: it tough. You know, all the baseball teams, all the
- 29:12Speaker 2: fast pitch teams, all the soccer teams, every no, all
- 29:14Speaker 2: the tennis teams load up Tuesday and Thursday and makes
- 29:18Speaker 2: it kind of tricky for me to navigate where I'm
- 29:22Speaker 2: gonna be going. And then Wednesday is like, yeah, I'm
- 29:25Speaker 2: some track and field and that's it. Maybe it's good,
- 29:28Speaker 2: Maybe it gives me a little little day to recover there.
- 29:31Speaker 2: I don't know. But anyways, on this past Tuesday, Mount
- 29:35Speaker 2: Vernon was all over Sea home twenty seven to eleven.
- 29:39Speaker 2: Ferndale lost to Brillington Edison ten to six. That was
- 29:42Speaker 2: I knew that was gonna be a pretty close game.
- 29:44Speaker 2: Both teams playing extremely well this year. Lynden beat Mount
- 29:47Speaker 2: Baker ten zero, Blaine over Meridians seventeen to five, okab
- 29:51Speaker 2: beat Bellingham twenty to zero, and a Lynnen Christian Beatannacordus
- 29:54Speaker 2: fifteen to three. Jumping ahead to Thursday in non conference action,
- 30:00Speaker 2: Baker went on the road to take on South would
- 30:02Speaker 2: be lost thirteen to eleven. Lyndon Christian beat Meridian eighteen
- 30:05Speaker 2: to one, Lynnen beat Blaine seven to two, Ferndale all
- 30:09Speaker 2: over Nuxack Valley fifteen to five, Seahome losses Cidro Woolley
- 30:13Speaker 2: eighteen to zero, and Ana Courtus beat Bellingham twenty four
- 30:16Speaker 2: to zero. There was a game on Friday. I was
- 30:19Speaker 2: able to make it out to that one. I don't
- 30:20Speaker 2: know if that was a rain out from earlier in
- 30:23Speaker 2: the year, but it was good to be able to
- 30:25Speaker 2: go out there and catch pretty much the whole thing
- 30:27Speaker 2: as Nuksack Valley beat Meridian twenty one to three, and
- 30:31Speaker 2: then a handful of games on Saturday, as lynn and
- 30:33Speaker 2: Christian travel on the road to play a double utter
- 30:35Speaker 2: against two very good one A teams. I love what
- 30:38Speaker 2: they're doing, playing a lot of these one A schools
- 30:40Speaker 2: that they'll probably meet in the postseason. Cedar Park Christian
- 30:43Speaker 2: got them three to two in a close one, but
- 30:45Speaker 2: then they turned around and beat Royal four to one.
- 30:49Speaker 2: Olivia Brink with home runs in both games. Pretty cool
- 30:52Speaker 2: to see that in a COURTUS beat Seahome seventeen to four.
- 30:56Speaker 2: Blaine beat Mount Baker fifteen to two. Lake would beat
- 30:59Speaker 2: Bellingham soon seventeen to nine. I was encouraged by the
- 31:01Speaker 2: nine runs there by the BayHawks. That was good to
- 31:04Speaker 2: see Burlington Edison with a five to one win over Lindon.
- 31:07Speaker 2: That was a game that you know, we were talking
- 31:08Speaker 2: about last week, rematch of last year's district championship game.
- 31:12Speaker 2: Burlington Edison Tigers are for reel this year as they
- 31:15Speaker 2: come up to Linden and beat them five to one.
- 31:18Speaker 2: Ferndale also got a four foot win over Mount Vernon.
- 31:21Speaker 2: It's a pretty funny story. I actually went out there
- 31:23Speaker 2: for that game noon at Ferndale and if you if you,
- 31:26Speaker 2: if you understand kind of you know how it is
- 31:29Speaker 2: going to games at Ferndale. It's not like you park
- 31:34Speaker 2: and then you just look out and you could see
- 31:35Speaker 2: if they're playing or not. So you got to park
- 31:38Speaker 2: and then you walk forever. And I was walking and
- 31:42Speaker 2: walking and walking and walking and walking. In the closer
- 31:44Speaker 2: I got, I wasn't hearing noises. I was, you know,
- 31:46Speaker 2: it was like right at noon, and I kept going,
- 31:49Speaker 2: kept going. I didn't notice anybody in the dugout. There
- 31:52Speaker 2: was some little league games going maybe or something, or
- 31:54Speaker 2: maybe Junior high or something, but I didn't see any
- 31:56Speaker 2: fast pitch. And I kept looking at my phone and going,
- 31:58Speaker 2: what's going on? And I just walked back and went
- 32:01Speaker 2: to another game. But I found out later that the
- 32:06Speaker 2: Mount Vernon did not have enough players. They definitely had
- 32:08Speaker 2: enough players when they beat Seal them twenty seven to eleven,
- 32:11Speaker 2: but they did not have enough players for this game.
- 32:13Speaker 2: And so Ferndale wins in a Fourfeit so pretty interesting there.
- 32:19Speaker 2: Now we will go to the stat leaders, and of course,
- 32:22Speaker 2: like I said earlier, the stat leaders brought to you
- 32:24Speaker 2: by Manna Insurance. And in runs scored, Yeah, a couple
- 32:29Speaker 2: of players with twenty five runs scored already on the year,
- 32:32Speaker 2: Campbell to Young of Lyndon and Masa Pulse of Blaine
- 32:35Speaker 2: have each scored twenty five runs. In hits, Sarah McVie
- 32:40Speaker 2: of Linden leading the way with twenty four hits on
- 32:42Speaker 2: the year. In doubles, Jacinta Lewis of Seahome has eight doubles.
- 32:47Speaker 2: In triples, it's Campbell to Young of Linden leading the
- 32:50Speaker 2: way with four triples. In home runs, Masa Pulse has
- 32:53Speaker 2: seven home runs already on the year. In RBIs, she
- 32:57Speaker 2: has also jumped up to tie the Rammerman with the lead.
- 33:01Speaker 2: They each have twenty nine RBIs on the year. Masa
- 33:06Speaker 2: Polse had a game she went three for three with
- 33:08Speaker 2: seven RBIs against Mount Baker, a double, a triple, and
- 33:11Speaker 2: a home run and seven runs driven in. Pretty incredible there.
- 33:15Speaker 2: In batting average, Gracie Rutgers still leading the way batting
- 33:20Speaker 2: five ninety four, but she hasn't played for about a
- 33:23Speaker 2: week and a half. She's still trying to come back
- 33:26Speaker 2: from an injury. But she still has enough at bats
- 33:30Speaker 2: to qualify just barely, so she's leading the way of
- 33:33Speaker 2: five ninety four right on her tail Campbell to Young
- 33:36Speaker 2: and Courtney roff In walks. Sarah Kruzich has been walked
- 33:41Speaker 2: seven or she has walked seventeen times, some of them intentional.
- 33:45Speaker 2: Let me tell you that in slugging, Mason Pulse is
- 33:48Speaker 2: still the only one slugging over one thousand, and she's
- 33:51Speaker 2: slugging fourteen thirty eight, so she is by far the
- 33:57Speaker 2: you know, the quintessential hitter in Walking County right now.
- 34:02Speaker 2: Of her seventeen hits, only five of them are singles.
- 34:06Speaker 2: Think about that, per second, seventeen hits, only five are singles.
- 34:11Speaker 2: Her most common hit is at home run. She has
- 34:13Speaker 2: seven home runs, five singles, three triples, two doubles. And
- 34:19Speaker 2: it's not like she's not batting all. She's hitting five
- 34:21Speaker 2: thirty one, so pretty incredible there. And hits by a pitch.
- 34:25Speaker 2: Masa Pulse again still leading away with ten times being
- 34:28Speaker 2: hit by a pitch. And then an on base percentage.
- 34:32Speaker 2: It is Masa Pulse and Sarah Kruzich. Each I've reached
- 34:37Speaker 2: base seventy percent of the time. They have an exact
- 34:39Speaker 2: seven hundred on base percentage. So there you go with
- 34:44Speaker 2: your stat leaders in offense, you can take a look
- 34:46Speaker 2: at the pitching stat leaders and then wins Halle Rammerman
- 34:50Speaker 2: of Linden and Roxane Lenning of Linden Christian each have
- 34:53Speaker 2: ten wins on the year. Excuse me, I got a
- 34:57Speaker 2: little runny nose, it sounds like here. Hallie Rammerman also
- 35:00Speaker 2: leading an innings pitched with seventy five innings pitched, Roxanne
- 35:04Speaker 2: Lenning right behind her with seventy four and a third
- 35:07Speaker 2: innings pitch in strikeouts. Kelly Rammerman has struck out one
- 35:10Speaker 2: hundred and fifty batters already this year, Lending at one
- 35:13Speaker 2: thirty Kruzich at one ten. So they're all kind of
- 35:15Speaker 2: right there, twenty away from each other. And then an era.
- 35:19Speaker 2: Roxanne Lenning has a two point six y three e R,
- 35:22Speaker 2: which is leading Walkham County so far. Let's take a
- 35:27Speaker 2: look at this upcoming schedule for this for this week.
- 35:31Speaker 2: On Monday, the only game in town, Blaine will be
- 35:34Speaker 2: hosting Sultan in a non conference game at four thirty,
- 35:38Speaker 2: So I will likely be out at that one. I
- 35:40Speaker 2: think I'll be able to make that. Like I said,
- 35:44Speaker 2: it's a non conference game, but hey, getting another game in.
- 35:46Speaker 2: You know Blaine has only played thirteen games. Uh, that's
- 35:51Speaker 2: that's near. That's pretty it's pretty low. Seals played twelve,
- 35:56Speaker 2: but you look like lynnon Christian. They've played sixteen so far,
- 35:58Speaker 2: so it's kind of all the place depending on how
- 36:01Speaker 2: many you played. So it's good to see Blaine get
- 36:04Speaker 2: another game in here. On Tuesday, we got a full
- 36:07Speaker 2: conference schedule going on as Linden will be down at
- 36:10Speaker 2: Mount Vernon. Hopefully Mount Brann will have enough players this time.
- 36:13Speaker 2: Anna Cordis will be at Ferndale, See Home at Lynn
- 36:16Speaker 2: and Christian, Brillington, Edison at Blaine, Mount Baker at Nuksack Valley,
- 36:20Speaker 2: and Meridian to take on the powerhouse Cubs of Sidral Wooley.
- 36:24Speaker 2: So I look at that schedule, I don't see anything that's,
- 36:29Speaker 2: you know, gonna be I think a super close game actually,
- 36:32Speaker 2: to be honest with you, you know, Bringington Edison at Blaine.
- 36:36Speaker 2: I mean the Tigers are favored there, I hope, but
- 36:38Speaker 2: if Blaine can get into a few of them, you
- 36:39Speaker 2: never know. If it's I think if it's low scoring,
- 36:41Speaker 2: I think Blaine has a chance there. And of course
- 36:46Speaker 2: at Ferndale, I guess could be closed, but I think
- 36:47Speaker 2: Ferndale would take care of business there. I don't really
- 36:50Speaker 2: see anything else being super close right there. On Wednesday,
- 36:54Speaker 2: there will be a non conference game. Bellingham going to
- 36:57Speaker 2: South Wilby. I think they played him earlier this season
- 36:59Speaker 2: as well, so good to get another non conference game
- 37:03Speaker 2: in there. On Thursday, another full slate of games. Blaine
- 37:06Speaker 2: will be at Mount Vernon, Lakewood at Lyndon Christian, Nuksack
- 37:09Speaker 2: Valley at Burlington, Edison Sedge Woolley at Mount Baker, Bellingham
- 37:13Speaker 2: at Meridian, Ferndale at Seahome, and Lyndon at Anacordus. Again,
- 37:18Speaker 2: I don't see a really close game here. I'm trying
- 37:22Speaker 2: to look and decipher. You know, Blaine should beat up
- 37:25Speaker 2: on Mount Vernon a little bit. Lyndon Christian should take
- 37:28Speaker 2: care of Lakewood. That's gonna be a tough one for
- 37:30Speaker 2: Knuixack Valley at Burlington Side Woolley. You know, nobody's beating them.
- 37:37Speaker 2: Bellingham at Meridian, that one actually might be kind of close.
- 37:41Speaker 2: I think they played earlier this year in a non
- 37:43Speaker 2: conference game. But Meridian should be favored in that one.
- 37:49Speaker 2: Ferndale at Sea Home, Yeah, I think Ferndal's got the
- 37:52Speaker 2: edge there. And then Linden at Anacordus. Yeah, Lindon, but
- 37:55Speaker 2: that maybe maybe that one's the closest one, But that
- 37:58Speaker 2: you're talking eight run game maybe. And then on Friday,
- 38:02Speaker 2: it's not a it's not a full slate, but pretty
- 38:05Speaker 2: good amount of games here as White River will come
- 38:07Speaker 2: to town to take on Linden. I know nothing about
- 38:09Speaker 2: White River fast pitch, so don't know what kind of
- 38:12Speaker 2: game that will be. Linden's always game for anybody. Meridian
- 38:15Speaker 2: will be at or at Oak Harbor, and a courtis
- 38:18Speaker 2: at Blaine, Mount Vernon at Nuksak Valley, Mount Baker at Bellingham.
- 38:22Speaker 2: So those are the Friday games. And then on Saturday,
- 38:25Speaker 2: we got you got three games going on locally as well.
- 38:29Speaker 2: Friday Harbor will come to town to take on Blaine.
- 38:32Speaker 2: It says here on the website it's a conference game,
- 38:34Speaker 2: but come on, guys, Friday Harbor hasn't been in the
- 38:37Speaker 2: conference for quite a while. Linden Christian at Ferndale, that's
- 38:41Speaker 2: gonna be a good game. And then Cedar Crest at Linden.
- 38:44Speaker 2: So right there, that Linden Christian at Ferndale, that one
- 38:46Speaker 2: stands out for the game of the week. I think
- 38:48Speaker 2: it's gonna be fantastic Saturday afternoon, one o'clock Ferndale High School.
- 38:53Speaker 2: Really really like that game. Right there, You know, I
- 38:57Speaker 2: think the big matchup there will be you know, Rock
- 39:00Speaker 2: Lenning pitching against that Ferndale lineup. That Ferndial lineup is
- 39:04Speaker 2: for real a lot of left handed hitters, you know.
- 39:09Speaker 2: There it's probably maybe four left handed hitters in that
- 39:12Speaker 2: starting lineup, maybe five. I mean, it's a lot and
- 39:18Speaker 2: they can get on a roll. So that's gonna be
- 39:20Speaker 2: that's gonna be a good one. That'll be a fun
- 39:22Speaker 2: one on that Saturday there. Well, that takes us to
- 39:25Speaker 2: the Walk and Wolverine Fast Pitched Player of the Week. Now,
- 39:28Speaker 2: there were really good performances here and there certain games.
- 39:31Speaker 2: I mean Klie Rammerman struck out eighteen in one game,
- 39:34Speaker 2: Roxanne Lenning struck out sixteen. Saw Like I said earlier,
- 39:38Speaker 2: Olivia Brink hit two home runs in the same day
- 39:40Speaker 2: against two different teams, against two different ranked one A teams.
- 39:45Speaker 2: You know, Mason Poles had that three for three game
- 39:47Speaker 2: with a double triple home run and seven RB eyes.
- 39:51Speaker 2: But if I look at the whole week, there was
- 39:54Speaker 2: a player that bat that was nine for ten, hitting
- 39:57Speaker 2: nine for ten her three games, and that's Blaine shortstop
- 40:03Speaker 2: sophomore Courtney Roff. So she went, I want to say,
- 40:06Speaker 2: she went five for five in a game earlier in
- 40:10Speaker 2: the week. I'm trying to remember who that was against.
- 40:14Speaker 2: That was against Meridian, and then against Lynden she went
- 40:16Speaker 2: one for two and against Matt Baker she went four
- 40:19Speaker 2: for four. So no, that's so that's ten for eleven.
- 40:24Speaker 2: So she went ten for eleven. My goodness, that is
- 40:28Speaker 2: what's that like? A nine toh nine average? That is
- 40:32Speaker 2: you know, you're batten over nine hundred for a week,
- 40:34Speaker 2: you're gonna win Player of the Week. So congratulations to
- 40:37Speaker 2: Courtney Roff of Blaine. She is the WAKA Wolverines Fast
- 40:40Speaker 2: Pitch Player of the Week, which means now we're gonna
- 40:44Speaker 2: move on to baseball and baseball. The daily recaps are

- 41:18Speaker 2: see the standings, you know, movement up and down, and
- 41:22Speaker 2: you're starting to see there's been some uh some some
- 41:25Speaker 2: some big upsets here and there, which has been fun.
- 41:28Speaker 2: You see some games that have been kind of a
- 41:31Speaker 2: little more blowouty than you thought they might be. You
- 41:33Speaker 2: might thought they'd be a little closer, but baseball's kind
- 41:35Speaker 2: of like that. You know, if you if guy gets
- 41:38Speaker 2: hot on the mountain, and that's that that that's a
- 41:41Speaker 2: lot of it right there. Uh, we're gonna take a
- 41:43Speaker 2: look at the standings first, of course. The standings brought
- 41:45Speaker 2: to you by Acceleration Driving School in Linden. Many of
- 41:48Speaker 2: you were out there learning to drive, and I strongly
- 41:50Speaker 2: advise you to check out Acceleration Driving School in Linden.
- 41:53Speaker 2: Give Kevin a call at three six zero seven four
- 41:56Speaker 2: six four five six seven and tell them you heard
- 41:59Speaker 2: about them on the Walk Them Preps podcast. You know,
- 42:02Speaker 2: I saw one of their posts the other day. They
- 42:03Speaker 2: were giving out an award for perfect attendance and they
- 42:06Speaker 2: give it to Axel Ericson and I said, hey, doesn't
- 42:09Speaker 2: he play short stop for for Ferndale Golden Eagles. So Axel,
- 42:13Speaker 2: if you if you know were Axel's parents, if you
- 42:16Speaker 2: guys listened to the podcast and then heard about Acceleration
- 42:21Speaker 2: driving school that way, and then got Axel into driving
- 42:24Speaker 2: with them because of this. I love it. That's awesome.
- 42:26Speaker 2: I mean, if it you know, if it's just dumb luck,
- 42:29Speaker 2: that's fine too. But I saw that name and I
- 42:31Speaker 2: just thought, hey, he's the short stop for Ferndale, So
- 42:34Speaker 2: I thought that was really cool. So let's take a
- 42:36Speaker 2: look at the standings now. CEOM has shot up to
- 42:38Speaker 2: the top of Walkham County with a ten and three
- 42:42Speaker 2: conference record right now, big big week for them. They're
- 42:46Speaker 2: thirteen and five overall, Lynnen at nine and three in conference,
- 42:50Speaker 2: Lennon Christian nine and four. The Links at a really
- 42:53Speaker 2: rough week. They played four games, three of them conference
- 42:57Speaker 2: games that they lost all of them and against really
- 43:00Speaker 2: good opponents. But it was just, you know, they're you know,
- 43:04Speaker 2: I don't know, baseball is funny like that, Like I said.
- 43:08Speaker 2: Then they turn around and beat Sea Home in a
- 43:10Speaker 2: non conference game, in a really good game, three to one.
- 43:14Speaker 2: So I think everything's fine with the Links. You know,
- 43:17Speaker 2: they pretty much secured that top spot for the one
- 43:22Speaker 2: A District tournament. They'll be played at Seahome High School
- 43:25Speaker 2: and Joe Martin field simultaneously, and so I think that
- 43:30Speaker 2: that's you know, they'll they'll they'll be okay. And I
- 43:34Speaker 2: know they finish off the year with against a couple
- 43:36Speaker 2: of really good opponents too, So it will be interesting
- 43:39Speaker 2: to see kind of how they finish out their Ferndale
- 43:41Speaker 2: eight and five. Now in conference play, they had another
- 43:45Speaker 2: walk off win this week after having one last week.
- 43:47Speaker 2: We'll talk about that. Blaine five and eight in conference play,
- 43:50Speaker 2: Nuksac Valley four nine, Bellingham three and ten, as Is
- 43:54Speaker 2: Meridian squal Cum two and eleven in conference play in
- 43:58Speaker 2: Mount Baker, still looking for their first in Let's take
- 44:02Speaker 2: a look at the games that were played this past week.
- 44:05Speaker 2: Like I said, an A Chordus beat Lynnon Christian three
- 44:07Speaker 2: to one on Monday. That was that was a good
- 44:12Speaker 2: a good game, a close game. I was out there
- 44:14Speaker 2: for about three or four innings. It was my birthday
- 44:17Speaker 2: that day, so I was kind of had stuff to
- 44:20Speaker 2: go to, but it was good to go out there
- 44:22Speaker 2: and check that out. There was a matchup I really
- 44:24Speaker 2: wanted to see Anni Cordus is for real. Obviously, I've
- 44:26Speaker 2: seen them a few times, saw them out at Blaine
- 44:28Speaker 2: or they spung the ball pretty good. On Tuesday was
- 44:31Speaker 2: a full slate. Mount Baker lost on the road to
- 44:33Speaker 2: Mount Vernon fourteen to zero. Ferndale beat Bellingham three to
- 44:37Speaker 2: two in a walk off there chance hatchet. It was
- 44:42Speaker 2: his fourth hit of the game, So incredible performance there.
- 44:46Speaker 2: Picks up the picks up the game winning RBI there.
- 44:51Speaker 2: Lenny Christian with their second game in a row in
- 44:53Speaker 2: as many days as they host, but Burlington Edison this
- 44:56Speaker 2: time they lose eight to zero. Lake Would beat Blaine
- 44:58Speaker 2: ten to four, beat Meridian four zero, Siger woolye u
- 45:03Speaker 2: Benz Nuksack Valley twelve to one. Sea Home beat Lyndon
- 45:06Speaker 2: eight to zero. That was a game I kind of
- 45:08Speaker 2: thought would be like a three to two game, kind
- 45:10Speaker 2: of either way, you didn't really know. And see them
- 45:13Speaker 2: took care of business winning eight to zero. Squalicum beating
- 45:15Speaker 2: Oak Harbor eight to zero. Two squadkam with a huge
- 45:18Speaker 2: win there. Loved seeing them put some stuff together. They
- 45:22Speaker 2: got they've got really hot earlier in the year and
- 45:25Speaker 2: then they kind of went up. They went on a
- 45:26Speaker 2: skid there for a while and they're starting to play
- 45:29Speaker 2: really well now, especially this week. Witting a couple of games,
- 45:33Speaker 2: and then on Thursday, everybody was off. Wednesday Thursday, another
- 45:36Speaker 2: full slate, oak Carb beating Blaine four to two, Brillianton
- 45:39Speaker 2: Needison beating Meridian eight zero. Lindon gets back on the
- 45:43Speaker 2: track beating Ferndale eleven to four, Squalkum gets beat by
- 45:48Speaker 2: Anacortus five zero, Siguer Woollye over Mount Baker fourteen to one,
- 45:52Speaker 2: a Seahome beats Nukxack Valley three to one, and Bellingham
- 45:56Speaker 2: with the walk off win over Lyndon Christian four to three.
- 46:00Speaker 2: That's one where you probably didn't see that one coming.
- 46:03Speaker 2: Bellingham is five and thirteen on the year now and
- 46:07Speaker 2: Lynn and Christian is thirteen and four, So it's again,
- 46:09Speaker 2: that's one of those things you don't really see coming.
- 46:11Speaker 2: But at the same time, that's baseball. It's just kind
- 46:15Speaker 2: of kind of kind of crazy like that. And Bellingham's
- 46:18Speaker 2: one of those teams that, man, they got hot at
- 46:20Speaker 2: the right time last year and they were so close
- 46:22Speaker 2: to going to the state tournament with a record well
- 46:26Speaker 2: below five hundred. Now they have that again and they
- 46:28Speaker 2: could get hot again. Everybody's starting to get healthy now,
- 46:31Speaker 2: so you got to watch out for those for those BayHawks. Yes,
- 46:34Speaker 2: the Links lost that win, but I think they'll be
- 46:36Speaker 2: just fine. They turn around the next day and beat
- 46:39Speaker 2: Seahome at Sealm three to one on a senior night
- 46:42Speaker 2: there for the Mariners, getting all the seniors in there.
- 46:44Speaker 2: So Mariners still taking it seriously, but maybe not putting,
- 46:49Speaker 2: you know, their best of nine on the field against
- 46:52Speaker 2: a really good Linden Christian team. Frendale also beat Blaine
- 46:55Speaker 2: in a non conference game thirteen to three on Friday,
- 46:58Speaker 2: and then on Saturday there was the lone gamer swallop
- 47:00Speaker 2: and beat Mount Vernon Christian nine to zero behind a
- 47:04Speaker 2: great performance by Cameron Schmidt as well as the inside
- 47:07Speaker 2: the park home run from Phoenix Price. So let's take
- 47:10Speaker 2: a look now at the stat leaders. The stat Leaders
- 47:14Speaker 2: and the daily scoreboards are brought to you by j
- 47:16Speaker 2: e KK Sports Cards in Bellingham. Check them out at
- 47:19Speaker 2: j e KK cards dot com and visit them in
- 47:23Speaker 2: person one seventy nine Telegraph Road in Bellingham. Give them
- 47:27Speaker 2: a call three six zero three zero three one seven
- 47:31Speaker 2: eight nine. It's just man, if you're if you're my age,
- 47:37Speaker 2: just walking in there, we'll just bring you back to youth.
- 47:40Speaker 2: You know, there's there's a lot of new stuff, obviously,
- 47:43Speaker 2: but there's so many cool old things to see, and
- 47:46Speaker 2: there's a lot of memorabilia, you know, like signed baseballs
- 47:49Speaker 2: and signed you know, signatures of all sorts of different things,
- 47:53Speaker 2: boxing glove. I mean, there's there's everything so really fun
- 47:56Speaker 2: place just to go check it out and just kind
- 47:59Speaker 2: of it's kind of I candy just kind of seeing
- 48:01Speaker 2: everything is really really neat. So let's let's take a
- 48:05Speaker 2: look at those stat leaders. We're gonna start off with
- 48:07Speaker 2: the offensive stat leaders, and we're gonna start with runs scored.
- 48:10Speaker 2: Sam Cock of Linda Christian with twenty two runs scored
- 48:13Speaker 2: on the year leading the way there. In hits, we
- 48:18Speaker 2: got a three way tie between Riley Carlson of Seahome
- 48:22Speaker 2: and two guys from Lyndon, Gordy Bedlington and Spencer Adams,
- 48:25Speaker 2: so all three guys have twenty one hits so far
- 48:29Speaker 2: on the year. In doubles, it's Seaholmes Jad Geiger with
- 48:32Speaker 2: ten doubles on the year. He's three ahead of the
- 48:35Speaker 2: next player, Aaron Garza of Blaine, who has seven. In triples,
- 48:39Speaker 2: it's still Joe Harward of Bellingham who has three triples.
- 48:42Speaker 2: On the air, the craziest stat is he has three
- 48:45Speaker 2: triples and no doubles, so he's if he's if he
- 48:49Speaker 2: hits it in the gap, then he's going for three.
- 48:52Speaker 2: And with his speed, I would too. In home runs,
- 48:55Speaker 2: Eli Stamps leading the way still with three home runs,
- 48:58Speaker 2: but we do have you know, another you know player
- 49:01Speaker 2: has has hit a home run. So now we have
- 49:02Speaker 2: eight different guys that have hit a home run this year,
- 49:04Speaker 2: which is pretty cool. And runs bat it in Spencer
- 49:07Speaker 2: Adams leading the way now with nineteen runs. Bat it
- 49:10Speaker 2: in in batting average Spencer Adams. It's him again leading
- 49:14Speaker 2: the way, batting four to twenty nine on the year.
- 49:18Speaker 2: What's really cool is I was able to get I'm
- 49:20Speaker 2: getting a lot of old baseball stats from around the county,
- 49:25Speaker 2: you know, going back in time and and and putting together,
- 49:28Speaker 2: you know, a database of all the players that have
- 49:30Speaker 2: ever played high school baseball. And I was able to
- 49:32Speaker 2: get all the Spencer's dad's stats, Rob Adams. Of course,
- 49:36Speaker 2: when Rob was a junior at Blaine, they won the
- 49:38Speaker 2: state title in baseball and he was a big, big
- 49:42Speaker 2: part of a two year starter there for the border rights.
- 49:44Speaker 2: And it's fun comparing the stats, you know, with father
- 49:48Speaker 2: and son both extremely tremendous players in stolen bases. Joe
- 49:54Speaker 2: Harward's still leading the way now with twenty stolen bases
- 49:57Speaker 2: on the year, and walk sam Cock has walked night
- 50:00Speaker 2: eighteen times and slugging percentage. It is Aaron Garza who's
- 50:06Speaker 2: slugging five eighty one for Blaine. And hits by a pitch.
- 50:11Speaker 2: Dawson van Dalen was hit, has been hit eleven times
- 50:14Speaker 2: by a pitch and he'll be hit a lot more
- 50:17Speaker 2: than that one's football comes around. And on base percentage,
- 50:21Speaker 2: it's Sam Cock with an on base percentage of five
- 50:24Speaker 2: seventy one. And you're gonna take a look at the
- 50:26Speaker 2: pitching stats now and win wins. We got four players
- 50:29Speaker 2: now with four wins. Trayson Pozaski of Ferndale and Garrett
- 50:34Speaker 2: Gibbons of Seaholm are both four and one on the year.
- 50:37Speaker 2: Sam Cock of then Christiana is four and two and
- 50:40Speaker 2: Gavin Gutrumsen of Lyndon is four and three, So you
- 50:45Speaker 2: know a lot of really good pitchers right there. And saves.
- 50:48Speaker 2: Aaron Garza of Blaine and Gordy Bedlington of Lyndon each
- 50:51Speaker 2: have two saves on the year, and innings pitched Hudson Johnson,
- 50:55Speaker 2: He's your workhorse, forty three and two thirds innings so
- 50:58Speaker 2: far this season. In strikeouts, Gavin Gutterson has struck out
- 51:02Speaker 2: fifty five batters so far and an eerra Josh Cochran
- 51:07Speaker 2: and Blaine now with a zero point four five eer. So, uh,
- 51:13Speaker 2: that's that's a pretty incredible number. I'm trying to see,
- 51:19Speaker 2: you know, who's close to that, Ky Nelson as in
- 51:23Speaker 2: the area of zero point sixty seven out of Bellingham.
- 51:26Speaker 2: Cameron Schmidt zero point eighty four. And what's incredible with
- 51:29Speaker 2: Cameron is that is a lot of that was this
- 51:32Speaker 2: week pitching two shutouts in one week, doing it just
- 51:36Speaker 2: the way that it works with a game on Tuesday
- 51:38Speaker 2: and Saturday, giving him enough rest in between games. So
- 51:42Speaker 2: pretty incredible there. Let's take a look at the schedule
- 51:46Speaker 2: going into this upcoming week. Only one game on Monday
- 51:50Speaker 2: that will be out at Pipeline Fields is Blaine hosts Sultan,
- 51:53Speaker 2: So it looks like a baseball and fast pitch going
- 51:57Speaker 2: on at the same time, which, hey, works great for me.
- 51:59Speaker 2: I'll check them without and of course it's a non
- 52:03Speaker 2: conference game, but good to see Blaine to get in
- 52:05Speaker 2: another game and on Tuesday, a full slate we have
- 52:10Speaker 2: and of course at Lindon that's going to be pretty amazing.
- 52:14Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure my intern MICHAELA will be at that one.
- 52:16Speaker 2: That's gonna be a really really fun game out at
- 52:20Speaker 2: Lyndon High School. Lakewood will be at Meridian. I think
- 52:23Speaker 2: Meridian has a chance to snap out of it. They've
- 52:26Speaker 2: been kind of a lull right now. Haven't been scoring
- 52:29Speaker 2: itn't didn't score any runs this past week. They could.
- 52:33Speaker 2: Lake was a team that you know, they you might
- 52:36Speaker 2: be able to take advantage of some stuff and get
- 52:38Speaker 2: a win there. That'd be great. Linden Christian at Mount Vernon.
- 52:40Speaker 2: That's got another really tough one for the Links there.
- 52:43Speaker 2: Bellingham at Burlington Edison, Seahome at Blaine, Oak Harbor at
- 52:48Speaker 2: Nooksack Valley, Ferndale at Sedro Wooley, and Mount Baker at
- 52:52Speaker 2: Squalkam And I'm Mount Baker at Squalaham one too. That
- 52:55Speaker 2: might be pretty decent. Really curious to see who Squalkam
- 52:58Speaker 2: pitches in that game. You know. Seehome at Blaine. I
- 53:03Speaker 2: like that too. I always love it obviously when Walkin
- 53:05Speaker 2: County plays Walkome County Wednesday, day offer everybody. Thursday, they
- 53:09Speaker 2: get back to it. Blaine will head down to Sherman

- 55:08Speaker 2: wins this week, and that's it's such a huge boost
- 55:11Speaker 2: to the team to give them that that confidence and
- 55:14Speaker 2: it's been awesome to see. You know, last year, I
- 55:16Speaker 2: think he threw more innings than anybody in Wakam County.
- 55:19Speaker 2: This year, he wasn't pitching a lot earlier on in
- 55:20Speaker 2: the year. I didn't know why. I didn't know if
- 55:22Speaker 2: it was an arm issue or what was going on.
- 55:24Speaker 2: But he's really come on strong lately and he's he's
- 55:27Speaker 2: doing amazing. Left handed pitcher. You know something about left
- 55:31Speaker 2: handed pitchers, They just they always seem to do well. Boy,
- 55:34Speaker 2: when I played and then was a left handed pitcher,
- 55:36Speaker 2: I loved it. I don't know why it was. I
- 55:38Speaker 2: just saw the ball so much better, loved hitting off lefties.
- 55:42Speaker 2: But for some reason a lot of people struggle with it.
- 55:45Speaker 2: So I don't get it, but I can understand why
- 55:48Speaker 2: they struggle to hit off Cameron Schmidt. The dude is awesome,
