- 0:21Speaker 1: How are we doing doing great? Good morning, Ryland. This
- 0:25Speaker 1: is a week eight podcast. We'll be talking about last
- 0:27Speaker 1: week's freshman game at Mount si, JV's game against East Lake,
- 0:32Speaker 1: and the varsity win at East Lake. So let's start
- 0:35Speaker 1: with the freshman team and they made their trip out
- 0:37Speaker 1: to snow Qualmy freshman coog's shut out last Wednesday, twenty
- 0:41Speaker 1: eight nothing by an undefeated Mount size See team. Coach
- 0:44Speaker 1: Legou did say the defense played well, making things tough
- 0:47Speaker 1: on the Wildcats all night. Mentioned the play of Liam Sherbert,
- 0:50Speaker 1: Dalton Tatchell, and Quinn Bryant as three players that really
- 0:53Speaker 1: stood out, and he also said that Cash and Cash
- 0:56Speaker 1: Anderson had another good night at corner with some past
- 1:00Speaker 1: breakups and some tackles. Coach, Yeah, it's it's always tough
- 1:04Speaker 1: with the freshman team playing a sea team, but I
- 1:07Speaker 1: think it's a really good experience going on the road,
- 1:10Speaker 1: going up against some guys that were I looked at
- 1:12Speaker 1: the roster they had some pretty good, good sized dudes there.
- 1:14Speaker 1: So good stuff out of the freshman even though they
- 1:18Speaker 1: did go down and defeat.
- 1:19Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, there it is. It's tough to go.
- 1:21Speaker 2: You know.
- 1:22Speaker 3: Mount Size is a big school. They've got a lot
- 1:23Speaker 3: of athletes out and it's a large football team, and
- 1:27Speaker 3: you know, it is a good experience. You do play
- 1:29Speaker 3: kids that maybe are you know, a little a little
- 1:33Speaker 3: bit older, maybe a little bigger. I don't know, but
- 1:35Speaker 3: the fact is it's great competition, and competing is is
- 1:39Speaker 3: you know how we grow, and so really proud of
- 1:42Speaker 3: our guys. It's it's a tough task sometimes that they
- 1:45Speaker 3: go on the road and play some of these teams,
- 1:46Speaker 3: but you know, they fight hard and they're always in it.
- 1:49Speaker 1: So proud of them. The Freshmen do hit the road
- 1:52Speaker 1: again this week. They head out to Eastlake six thirty
- 1:56Speaker 1: pm kickoff and the game will be live stream by
- 1:59Speaker 1: East Lake. They do a a really really good job
- 2:02Speaker 1: of live streaming. I mean they do home and away games.
- 2:05Speaker 1: It's pretty wild. I think Skyline does maybe just home
- 2:08Speaker 1: or maybe they do away games too, I can't remember,
- 2:10Speaker 1: but really a tremendous job by those guys, So be
- 2:13Speaker 1: sure to look out for that link and we'll have
- 2:16Speaker 1: it on social media. So if you guys want to
- 2:17Speaker 1: watch or go out, head up to the plateau. There's
- 2:22Speaker 1: plenty of good places to eat right there around East
- 2:25Speaker 1: Lake as well, and then you can grab yourself a
- 2:27Speaker 1: blizzard on the way out of town after the coops
- 2:30Speaker 1: go out there and get a win. Right, Let's talk
- 2:32Speaker 1: about the JV game from Monday night. Jab Koogs lose
- 2:35Speaker 1: a tightly contested game at home fourteen to six to
- 2:40Speaker 1: East Lake. Talking with coach Fisher Keller, it sounds like
- 2:43Speaker 1: the defense played pretty well and talking to you just
- 2:46Speaker 1: a little bit, sounds like the offense had some chances
- 2:48Speaker 1: and just couldn't fully convert.
- 2:50Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, East Lake's got a good football team
- 2:52Speaker 3: over there and at all levels, and we've seen that
- 2:56Speaker 3: so good hard fought content. You know, we stop them
- 3:01Speaker 3: early with a pick and we go down and you know,
- 3:04Speaker 3: we convert and score a touchdown. They come right back
- 3:08Speaker 3: and score, We miss our extra point, they make theirs,
- 3:10Speaker 3: and that's kind of a battle after that. They go
- 3:12Speaker 3: at fourteen six and we had the ball twice inside
- 3:15Speaker 3: of you know, I'll say the ten once inside the five,
- 3:17Speaker 3: and you know, East Lakes defense got real stingy and
- 3:21Speaker 3: it was difficult to score on them, and so we
- 3:23Speaker 3: couldn't punch it in. And you know, that's the end
- 3:25Speaker 3: of the game. We lose a tough one, fourteen to six,
- 3:27Speaker 3: but again, well fought kids, played hard, real proud of
- 3:31Speaker 3: their effort.
- 3:32Speaker 1: I think that's kind of been a little bit of
- 3:33Speaker 1: a theme. I mean, and it's not saying that you know,
- 3:36Speaker 1: the wins aren't coming or anything, but the one thing
- 3:40Speaker 1: I truly enjoy about about the JV team is how
- 3:43Speaker 1: hard they do play and how much fun they're clearly
- 3:46Speaker 1: having out there on Monday nights and being with their
- 3:48Speaker 1: teammates and overall just really enjoying football.
- 3:52Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, we have a you know, it's a
- 3:54Speaker 3: JV team. We kind of got down in numbers, so
- 3:58Speaker 3: we lost our sophomore ski, so we bring those guys
- 4:01Speaker 3: up with the JV and then of course we know
- 4:03Speaker 3: we have a freshman plays half the game at quarterback
- 4:05Speaker 3: as well. So it's a young JV team, And you're right,
- 4:08Speaker 3: they compete and it's good. It's good for your growth
- 4:13Speaker 3: to have adversity and to overcome it and to get
- 4:15Speaker 3: through it. And you know, that's what makes people stronger,
- 4:18Speaker 3: and certainly our JV team's getting stronger each week.
- 4:22Speaker 1: At the moment, JV is still trying to figure out
- 4:26Speaker 1: or I guess JV's not, but we're trying to figure
- 4:28Speaker 1: out what JV is going to do on Monday. As
- 4:30Speaker 1: soon as we have that information, it will be up
- 4:32Speaker 1: on social media, So keep an eye out on all
- 4:34Speaker 1: the social media's for what'll be JV's final game of
- 4:38Speaker 1: the year next Monday. Let's talk varsity game report here.
- 4:43Speaker 1: Thirty to twenty one win on the road in some
- 4:45Speaker 1: Amish over the East Lake Wolves. You know, it was
- 4:49Speaker 1: pouring down rain, pretty good pregame and then it leveled
- 4:53Speaker 1: off and it kind of turned into a really really
- 4:56Speaker 1: nice fall night up on the Plateau. And their great
- 5:00Speaker 1: effort from the offensive line and helping running backs Miles
- 5:04Speaker 1: Welps and Sion Zoom a Baffel School record here, first
- 5:09Speaker 1: time two running backs have rushed for over two hundred
- 5:11Speaker 1: yards in a game in the same game. Excuse me,
- 5:17Speaker 1: that is truly unbelievable when you consider, like you look
- 5:22Speaker 1: at say a Bellevue or a Ferndale teams that maybe
- 5:26Speaker 1: even in o day where they run under center, you know,
- 5:31Speaker 1: NonStop in your face hasn't really been Boffel's mo o,
- 5:36Speaker 1: you know, but this year just really great effort from
- 5:38Speaker 1: the offensive line and and and really the tight ends
- 5:41Speaker 1: and h bax Wise whatever you want to call those guys.
- 5:45Speaker 1: To be able to get two guys for two hundred
- 5:47Speaker 1: yards in a single game is pretty special.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Yeah, sure is.
- 5:51Speaker 3: You know, it's it's a combination of many things that
- 5:53Speaker 3: you just kind of mentioned.
- 5:54Speaker 2: It's a it's an offensive line.
- 5:56Speaker 3: That that gets off the ball and with an attacking
- 5:59Speaker 3: you know, attitude, and you know, it's amazing if you're
- 6:02Speaker 3: a football guy and you could ever sit down and
- 6:04Speaker 3: watch the fit ups that our kids are making between
- 6:06Speaker 3: the pulling guards and tackles and f's or tight ends,
- 6:11Speaker 3: you know, the way we insert people, the different ways
- 6:14Speaker 3: we you know, we can run three or four different
- 6:17Speaker 3: plays at you. And then you know it starts with
- 6:20Speaker 3: a great snap every time, and we've had that, and
- 6:23Speaker 3: you know, a clean exchange and we've had that. And
- 6:26Speaker 3: then you get two running backs who kind of you know,
- 6:30Speaker 3: compliment each other super well. They both run hard, they
- 6:32Speaker 3: both their yards after contact are incredible. So you know,
- 6:35Speaker 3: which sometimes should be gains of eight or nine, which
- 6:37Speaker 3: are fabulous runs in football, you know, turn into twelve, thirteen, fifteen,
- 6:41Speaker 3: eighteen yards and so tight ends are blocking well, our
- 6:46Speaker 3: O line is doing what it has done all year.
- 6:47Speaker 3: Our backs run hard, We're executing well in the run game,
- 6:51Speaker 3: and you certainly certainly was on display this last weekend.
- 6:55Speaker 1: One thing I also, one thing I think cannot be
- 6:59Speaker 1: understand and this is something that you see maybe more
- 7:02Speaker 1: in those like absolute positive run heavy offenses, is the
- 7:08Speaker 1: fakes too. You should it on film yesterday to the
- 7:11Speaker 1: team Kyson Warnock on a couple of plays just flying
- 7:15Speaker 1: across you know, pre snap motion pulls linebackers, even moves
- 7:20Speaker 1: the safety a little bit, and that allows that that
- 7:23Speaker 1: block to be just that much easier. Matt Small carrying
- 7:26Speaker 1: out fakes at times, you know, just things that make
- 7:29Speaker 1: the defense have to go who whoa, whoa, ho hold on,
- 7:31Speaker 1: we got to do a little something else here. I
- 7:34Speaker 1: think that stuff cannot be understated at all.
- 7:36Speaker 3: Now, you know, we call that the one eleventh right.
- 7:38Speaker 3: You do your job and you carry it out to
- 7:41Speaker 3: the best of your ability with great effort, you know,
- 7:43Speaker 3: and you know joy in your heart as we try
- 7:45Speaker 3: to say, and and we're seeing that. We're seeing that
- 7:48Speaker 3: and everybody's doing their role and everybody's playing their part,
- 7:53Speaker 3: and it's really it's fun to see.
- 7:55Speaker 2: It's it's fun to be a part of. Now.
- 7:57Speaker 3: I'll tell you that game was. You know, it wasn't
- 7:59Speaker 3: comfortable for a long time. And you know, like I
- 8:02Speaker 3: told our kids, I don't think we played our best football.
- 8:05Speaker 3: You know, we had We had minimal mistakes, but they
- 8:08Speaker 3: were huge ones. You know, we snapped the ball over
- 8:10Speaker 3: ahead on a punt leads to a touchdown. We missed
- 8:14Speaker 3: a field goal right before that. We do a wonderful
- 8:16Speaker 3: job of using the clock and getting the ball down
- 8:18Speaker 3: the field to put ourselves in field goal position. We
- 8:21Speaker 3: dis missed it to the right barely, and we're driving
- 8:24Speaker 3: down the field in another possession to go up three
- 8:27Speaker 3: scores and we fumble the ball and you know, it
- 8:29Speaker 3: results in them getting it and taking it down the field.
- 8:31Speaker 2: And so it was.
- 8:33Speaker 3: It was far from perfect, but every time we kind
- 8:37Speaker 3: of opened the door, we closed it quickly.
- 8:39Speaker 2: And so really proud.
- 8:40Speaker 3: Of our team for fighting through adversity and finishing that game.
- 8:45Speaker 1: East Lake scores twenty one on the night. But defensively,
- 8:48Speaker 1: you know, you mentioned the special team's mistake there, and
- 8:51Speaker 1: defensive we've only gave up fourteen points, which you know,
- 8:54Speaker 1: a team that at times can be high powered with
- 8:56Speaker 1: east Lake. Last week we talked about needing to do
- 9:00Speaker 1: a good job tackling. He's like running back Miles Johnson.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Defense really stepped up, did their job limiting one of
- 9:07Speaker 1: the better backs in our state.
- 9:10Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 9:10Speaker 3: You know, he's a special kid, and he's got that
- 9:14Speaker 3: that that you know, fun if he's on your team,
- 9:17Speaker 3: terrible if he's not. You know, he's got that blend
- 9:20Speaker 3: of he's quick and he's fast and then he's strong.
- 9:23Speaker 3: You know, he's a powerful kid. He's a Division one
- 9:26Speaker 3: lacrosse you know, athlete. He's going to play the Division one.
- 9:30Speaker 3: I told him after the game, I'm glad he was
- 9:32Speaker 3: a senior, you know, and I meant that as a compliment. Gosh,
- 9:36Speaker 3: it's been it's been you know, awful facing him, and
- 9:39Speaker 3: but but the fact of the matter is we we
- 9:42Speaker 3: did limit him.
- 9:43Speaker 2: We contained him for the most part. You know.
- 9:46Speaker 3: I think it also helps, as you and I spoke
- 9:49Speaker 3: off the off the air here that you know, he
- 9:51Speaker 3: plays defense too, and and I think he was in
- 9:54Speaker 3: on fourteen tackles and probably fell to the ground at
- 9:57Speaker 3: numerous times other on on the defensive side the ball,
- 10:00Speaker 3: and that type of ruggedness wears on you throughout a game.
- 10:03Speaker 3: And so you know, I thought, I thought we did
- 10:06Speaker 3: a good job. But hats off to him and in
- 10:07Speaker 3: the way he plays football, it's real fun to watch.
- 10:10Speaker 1: Let's talk about Players of the Week and the offensive
- 10:13Speaker 1: and defensive Players of the Week brought to you by
- 10:14Speaker 1: Team Brada and Melon Ving Cheeks real Estate. Your local
- 10:17Speaker 1: real estate experts contact Steven Mellon at two six nine
- 10:22Speaker 1: nine for all your real estate needs. Steven Millon have
- 10:24Speaker 1: two just awesome partners here in the Players of the Week,

- 10:31Speaker 1: Cafe and Catering. Each winner will receive a forty dollars
- 10:35Speaker 1: gift card to these two local Bothel favorites. We'll start
- 10:38Speaker 1: with the defense here and Steven Mellan. They say this
- 10:42Speaker 1: week's selection once again stout in the middle, making it
- 10:45Speaker 1: difficult on the East Lakes offense all night. The defensive
- 10:48Speaker 1: player of the game is number seventy two, junior Brittain Hubbard.
- 10:51Speaker 3: You know he's uh we we tell our d lineman
- 10:55Speaker 3: you could you could be the player of the game
- 10:56Speaker 3: and never make a tackle. Now he makes tackles, but
- 10:59Speaker 3: the fact of the matter is he does his job
- 11:02Speaker 3: so well. He he oftentimes will take off two guys.
- 11:07Speaker 3: He always sheds blocks, He's always disruptive. He makes it
- 11:11Speaker 3: easier for our linebackers. He's such an unassuming kid in class.
- 11:16Speaker 3: He's a big, strong, you know, human being, and he's
- 11:21Speaker 3: playing great football and you know, he could have been
- 11:25Speaker 3: the player of the week a couple of times this
- 11:27Speaker 3: year and certainly had a great game Friday night.
- 11:30Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a couple of times when we were watching
- 11:32Speaker 1: film there where double triple teams. I mean they they
- 11:36Speaker 1: were having. Britain really made them work. I mean their
- 11:39Speaker 1: hands were full with him. And there was one time
- 11:41Speaker 1: where he kind of got knocked to the ground just
- 11:44Speaker 1: a little bit still going forward oddly enough, and then
- 11:46Speaker 1: somehow stood up and kind of had the center on
- 11:49Speaker 1: his back if you will. I mean, it was it's
- 11:51Speaker 1: just crazy the strength that he plays with, and you
- 11:53Speaker 1: know how how really physical his hands are on the
- 11:56Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, and it's fun. It's fun
- 11:59Speaker 1: because that could works really, really hard. So seeing the
- 12:02Speaker 1: good side of things coming out in games is truly
- 12:05Speaker 1: fun to watch. Let's talk about the offensive side. I mean,
- 12:08Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys we could give it to here.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Both running backs had a really good game and when
- 12:13Speaker 1: they're running the ball that well, it starts up front.
- 12:16Speaker 1: For the second time this season, Steven Millen have selected
- 12:19Speaker 1: the offensive line for their work. Let's just run it
- 12:22Speaker 1: straight across at right tackle number fifty eight, Zach Foltz,
- 12:26Speaker 1: right guard is a number fifty five, Mo Blal center
- 12:28Speaker 1: number seventy four, and Ok Palmley, left guard at number
- 12:32Speaker 1: seventy five, Dom di Ambrosia and the left tackle number
- 12:35Speaker 1: seventy three Milon Van Cheats. Really, I'm going to make
- 12:39Speaker 1: a case her coach. I think they're going to give
- 12:41Speaker 1: out five of them this week. I think they should
- 12:43Speaker 1: be given out more than that because I think the
- 12:46Speaker 1: the tight ends, the wys, the f's, the h is,
- 12:48Speaker 1: whatever you want to call them, I think they deserve
- 12:50Speaker 1: to be in there as well.
- 12:51Speaker 3: You know, anybody could have picked the offensive player of
- 12:54Speaker 3: the game this week because everybody played well. Quarterbacks scored
- 12:56Speaker 3: at a really high rate, and you know we were
- 13:01Speaker 3: playing good football. But you want to know what it
- 13:03Speaker 3: looks like to have two hundred yard rushers in one game.
- 13:07Speaker 3: Watch just the O line and the tight ends. You know,
- 13:09Speaker 3: they're really an extension of our offensive line and and
- 13:13Speaker 3: everybody just just playing good football right now.
- 13:16Speaker 2: And you could have given it to our backs.
- 13:18Speaker 3: I mean, how do you how do you run for
- 13:20Speaker 3: rush for two hundred yards and not become the player
- 13:22Speaker 3: of the week.
- 13:23Speaker 2: And we got two of them, and.
- 13:24Speaker 3: And uh, you know, our tight ends are block had
- 13:27Speaker 3: their best games. Our line has been solid all year.
- 13:31Speaker 3: It's uh, you know, I know you can't give it
- 13:33Speaker 3: to eleven kids, but the fact of the matter is
- 13:36Speaker 3: that it certainly could have been. And so outstanding performance
- 13:39Speaker 3: by our offensive line, our tight ends, our backs, and
- 13:43Speaker 3: congratulations to all those guys.
- 13:44Speaker 2: They're well deserved.
- 13:46Speaker 1: There's a picture, coach, and I'm going to show you
- 13:48Speaker 1: here and this one here just to me really, you know,
- 13:52Speaker 1: it's kind of screams you know what went on this week,
- 13:58Speaker 1: And you can take a look at it and I'll
- 14:00Speaker 1: post it so people can see it. But this one
- 14:03Speaker 1: here is a screenplay, and if you look at it,
- 14:07Speaker 1: there are bodies flying everywhere and Miles is in the
- 14:10Speaker 1: back just untouched. Yeah, you know, and it was truly
- 14:15Speaker 1: remarkable to see the effort that everybody played with on
- 14:18Speaker 1: really every play. I mean there was times where the
- 14:21Speaker 1: tight ends were, you know, downfield, making blocks six seven
- 14:24Speaker 1: yards downfield, and you know there's times where you know,
- 14:27Speaker 1: the guards are out pulling and running. And I saw
- 14:30Speaker 1: a picture of Zach Foltz and I looked at it
- 14:32Speaker 1: and I went, why is he staring at our quarterback
- 14:35Speaker 1: on a running play? And then I realized it was
- 14:37Speaker 1: on a play where that's exactly what he's supposed to
- 14:39Speaker 1: do because he kind of spins out of it and
- 14:40Speaker 1: takes off upfield. And you know, it's just the effort
- 14:43Speaker 1: that the entire offense played with really and even mentioned
- 14:47Speaker 1: Kayson Warnock, and you know, Carl and Gaughner were out
- 14:50Speaker 1: there running fakes and they're running at full speed, and
- 14:54Speaker 1: you know that's hard to convince wide receivers to do
- 14:56Speaker 1: at times, right because they kind of know they're not
- 14:58Speaker 1: getting the ball. But if they can fully run their fakes,
- 15:02Speaker 1: that does a lot of things. And if you know,
- 15:04Speaker 1: Matt Small can complete some passes here or there, that
- 15:06Speaker 1: moves the defense back a little bit. And it really
- 15:10Speaker 1: was full team effort. So I'm going to make a
- 15:12Speaker 1: pitch to Millin and Steve. I think they go about
- 15:16Speaker 1: nine or ten more gift cards this week. I'm gonna
- 15:19Speaker 1: run them drive you know what, coach. They have nobody
- 15:21Speaker 1: to give it to next week, so either you and
- 15:22Speaker 1: I get it next week, or they got to give
- 15:25Speaker 1: out more this week.
- 15:26Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, absolutely, I like that all right.
- 15:29Speaker 1: By the way, if they do give it out next week,
- 15:31Speaker 1: I'll let you have the Passion Tequila and I'll take collections.
- 15:33Speaker 2: I take either one man. Yeah, I go there a lot.
- 15:37Speaker 1: Again, no opponent preview for this week because there is
- 15:40Speaker 1: no opponent, but the opponent preview is typically brought to
- 15:43Speaker 1: you by Passion Tequila, Family Mexican restaurant just a few
- 15:45Speaker 1: blocks north of pop Kini Stadium, Open seven days a week,
- 15:48Speaker 1: Passion Tequila is serving great food you can enjoy with
- 15:50Speaker 1: your friends and family. The Kinko Crossovers the way it
- 15:53Speaker 1: works with the multi tier scheduling, whatever they want to
- 15:57Speaker 1: call it, the Kinko Crossovers. This week, as the number
- 16:00Speaker 1: two seed in four a number one and number two
- 16:02Speaker 1: do get a buy doesn't mean we aren't practicing. It
- 16:05Speaker 1: just means there's no game this week, So yeah, I mean, coach,
- 16:09Speaker 1: we went into it. I remember going into it last
- 16:11Speaker 1: year with the buy and you were kind of like,
- 16:14Speaker 1: I don't really know how to handle this in a
- 16:15Speaker 1: way last week was or excuse me, last year. You
- 16:20Speaker 1: kind of now are a little more well versed for it.
- 16:25Speaker 1: You know, what are the things are you looking to
- 16:26Speaker 1: accomplish this week specifically?
- 16:28Speaker 3: You know that was a great question last year going
- 16:31Speaker 3: into it, we'd never had done that. I talked to
- 16:32Speaker 3: a couple of high school coaches who had been through it,
- 16:35Speaker 3: and they got some really good advice, and we met
- 16:37Speaker 3: as a staff and had you know, the assistants had
- 16:40Speaker 3: great advice too, So we you know, I think, first
- 16:43Speaker 3: of all, in the mental game, whatever you have is
- 16:45Speaker 3: the best. So it would be great to play a
- 16:48Speaker 3: game and go seven and two and you know, have
- 16:50Speaker 3: that for the committee to see another win. But you know,
- 16:53Speaker 3: I think rest in some of the athletes in terms
- 16:58Speaker 3: of not playing a physical game again this week is
- 17:01Speaker 3: can be beneficial as well. We game the day off
- 17:04Speaker 3: yesterday except for film. We're gonna have light practices today
- 17:07Speaker 3: and tomorrow. We'll ramp it up again on Thursday and Friday,
- 17:11Speaker 3: we'll do a little scrimmage just so we get some
- 17:13Speaker 3: game like situations and competition. And and then and then
- 17:18Speaker 3: we get out and scout. We get to see some
- 17:20Speaker 3: other teams in the state that we haven't been able
- 17:21Speaker 3: to see so far. So I we'll use it to
- 17:25Speaker 3: our benefit. It will be nice to rest some bodies.
- 17:27Speaker 2: A little bit.
- 17:28Speaker 3: And and you know, I just think our team has
- 17:32Speaker 3: a mature outlook on what we need to do this week,
- 17:35Speaker 3: and I'm you know, hopeful that we will we use
- 17:38Speaker 3: it to our benefit for sure.
- 17:40Speaker 1: With no football game this week, we're gonna pub a
- 17:42Speaker 1: couple of the other sports going around Boffel really quickly,
- 17:45Speaker 1: some really big games this week for volleyball and girls soccer.
- 17:48Speaker 1: Volleyball is home Thursday, seven pm against North Creek. It
- 17:51Speaker 1: is senior night for the Coops. From what I can
- 17:54Speaker 1: tell in looking at who Boffel has beaten and what
- 17:59Speaker 1: the sky says, there are possibilities the Koogs could get
- 18:03Speaker 1: a home playoff game on Saturday, so be sure to
- 18:05Speaker 1: keep an eye at Kinko Athletics dot com. They'll have
- 18:09Speaker 1: all that information there. Girls soccer twelve and four on
- 18:12Speaker 1: the season. Just finish the regular season with a win
- 18:14Speaker 1: over Woodinville, which gives them the number two seed from
- 18:17Speaker 1: Kinko into the district tournament. Lady Koogs will be at
- 18:20Speaker 1: Pop Kinni this Saturday two pm to take on the
- 18:22Speaker 1: winner of what I believe is Glacier Peak. They had
- 18:26Speaker 1: yet to update the bracket, but I believe it's Glacier
- 18:28Speaker 1: Peak in Woodinville who play on Thursday night. Obviously you
- 18:32Speaker 1: don't want to go to that one, but Saturday, the
- 18:34Speaker 1: winner of that game will play Bothel As I said,
- 18:38Speaker 1: two pm at Popkini, and then if there's a girl's
- 18:42Speaker 1: volleyball match, it'll be that night, so you could do
- 18:44Speaker 1: a little double dip there on Saturday see some girl
- 18:47Speaker 1: soccer and volleyball. Both would be home if it all
- 18:50Speaker 1: works out right.
- 18:52Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 18:52Speaker 1: Other than that, coach, that's all I got. Thanks for
- 18:54Speaker 1: your time and we'll talk to you next week.
- 18:56Speaker 3: Before I let you go, I would I would just
- 18:59Speaker 3: encourage you to go out and watch Cougar athletics. I mean,
- 19:02Speaker 3: we have a fabulous sports program here and they're athletes
- 19:05Speaker 3: that are working their tails off, like like you know,
- 19:07Speaker 3: probably at all high schools and be fun to see
- 19:10Speaker 3: those And if I could get one more shout out here.
- 19:12Speaker 3: This is kind of impromptu, but I know one of
- 19:14Speaker 3: our four listeners is we have four yet? Or are
- 19:17Speaker 3: we still have three? I think we're at four now,
- 19:20Speaker 3: is Johnny Hecker. And Johnny Hecker kicked his one thousandth
- 19:24Speaker 3: punt of his NFL career, and so you know, he's
- 19:27Speaker 3: a Bathel legend. And you know, I would tell you
- 19:31Speaker 3: if he's listening to this on his way to work,
- 19:33Speaker 3: he's embarrassed. But I just want to take an opportunity
- 19:37Speaker 3: to thank he and his wife Mikaela for their support,
- 19:40Speaker 3: not just for Bothel and Bothel football, but you know,
- 19:42Speaker 3: wherever he goes and wherever he plays, they're at integral
- 19:45Speaker 3: part of their community. And he cares so much about
- 19:47Speaker 3: other people they do, and and just just a shout
- 19:51Speaker 3: out to them and what they've done, and congratulations on
- 19:54Speaker 3: a wonderful career and.
- 19:55Speaker 2: Keep keep kicking, keep kicking.
- 19:57Speaker 1: Yeah, And I believe you're fourteen in the NFL this year.
- 20:00Speaker 2: Fifteen?
- 20:01Speaker 1: Is it fifteen?
- 20:02Speaker 2: I think so? Or fifteen?
- 20:04Speaker 1: Either way, that's yeah, that's really cool.
- 20:06Speaker 2: This might be his fourteenth. You might be right. I
- 20:09Speaker 2: think you are right, Rylan, You usually are.
- 20:11Speaker 1: I get Lucky times too. Yeah, And it's like you said,
- 20:15Speaker 1: the stuff that he does in the community, not just
- 20:18Speaker 1: you know, our for our community, but all the other one.
- 20:20Speaker 1: I remember one point he was he was donating like
- 20:22Speaker 1: one thousand dollars for every punt inside the twenty you
- 20:26Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like just little things like that
- 20:28Speaker 1: that kind of go overlooked by a lot of people.
- 20:30Speaker 1: But when people do those things, it's it's truly remarkable.
- 20:34Speaker 1: And some of the stuff that I've seen him and
- 20:36Speaker 1: his wife and their foundation just you know, donating money
- 20:40Speaker 1: and doing good things for the community wherever they are,
- 20:42Speaker 1: whether it's in Carolina, Los Angeles now with the Tennessee Titans.
- 20:47Speaker 1: So so yeah, I mean, if he's listening to the show,
- 20:50Speaker 1: then we're we're definitely on the on the move up, Coach.
- 20:53Speaker 1: That that million dollar pay day you want so you
