Speaker 1: Only in the two A here Kirsten Ludeman of Seahome
8:10
Speaker 1: took first place, and I believe I might need to
8:15
Speaker 1: check this again, but I think she broke the two
8:18
Speaker 1: way state championship record as far as what they've done
8:23
Speaker 1: at the state championships at the two A division, So
8:26
Speaker 1: very very impressive for her. Also in third place, Sophia

Speaker 1: Seahome took fourth place. In the sixteen hundred meters Logan

8:45
Speaker 1: top six placers all from Walkin County. That was so
8:50

9:15
Speaker 1: It's rare that you can get that many participants in
9:17
Speaker 1: one event from a district and then for them to
9:20
Speaker 1: finish first through sixth is incredible. In the thirty two
9:24
Speaker 1: hundred meters, we have a couple of state champions here.
9:26
Speaker 1: In one A Logan Ignacio Meridian took first place state
9:30
Speaker 1: championship as just really really cool, just a junior as well,

14:00
Speaker 1: I talk about it all the time. It's it's it's
14:02
Speaker 1: one of my favorite sports to go out and see
14:06
Speaker 1: live just because the I almost want to say, like
14:10
Speaker 1: the freedom, but it's more than that. It's just the
14:13
Speaker 1: ability to see so much stuff and it's such a
14:16
Speaker 1: close proximity. If you know the athletes that are that
14:21
Speaker 1: are the top ones, and you kind of know how
14:23
Speaker 1: the events are going. Uh you can kind of make
14:26
Speaker 1: your way around and see how things are going, and
14:29
Speaker 1: you know the throwing and the jumping and the vaulting
14:32
Speaker 1: and the running and the you know everything. You can
14:34
Speaker 1: kind of see it all pretty well, and you just
14:37
Speaker 1: got to kind of know where to be and where
14:40
Speaker 1: to go and who to look for. And it's just
14:42
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. I mean, I just I have
14:44
Speaker 1: a blast at these events. I loved them when I
14:47
Speaker 1: was in high school, even just just watching from the stands.
14:49
Speaker 1: I've got great memories going out to Lenny Christian High
14:52
Speaker 1: School and watching events and and so so fun and uh,
14:57
Speaker 1: just so glad that I'm able to bring the inf
15:00
Speaker 1: to everybody. And it's been a great year for track
15:02
Speaker 1: and field. Like I said, we have state champions, uh individual,
15:06
Speaker 1: we have a state champion, you know, team, really great
15:10
Speaker 1: showings by so many schools and so many individuals, and
15:13
Speaker 1: there's so many underclassmen, so it's gonna be great for
15:17
Speaker 1: ways to go. So so that's it for track and field.
15:20
Speaker 1: We're gonna jump over to boys soccer. As Seahome Mariners
15:23
Speaker 1: were still alive going into into this weekend into the
15:26
Speaker 1: final four, you know, really really exciting. They play in
15:31
Speaker 1: the in the semi final game, I watched a big
15:34
Speaker 1: chunk of that against Columbia River, and you know, it
15:38
Speaker 1: was a tough one. I mean, it was zero zero
15:40
Speaker 1: through regulation. They then they played those two five minute
15:44
Speaker 1: overtime periods and then if it's still tied, they go
15:46
Speaker 1: to a shootout. And I haven't seen a ton of soccer,
15:49
Speaker 1: but every single time I've seen it go into overtime,
15:53
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't think I've ever seen a
15:54
Speaker 1: goal happen there. It has always gone to a shootout,
15:58
Speaker 1: and so I wasn't expect thing anything different, And all
16:01
Speaker 1: of a sudden at Columbia River scored and it was
16:05
Speaker 1: just just like that, it was done, and it was
16:08
Speaker 1: just so mind blowing to see, you know, the first
16:12
Speaker 1: loss all year for Sea Home. They did have a
16:13
Speaker 1: couple of ties earlier in the year, but that was
16:18
Speaker 1: it just kind of took me by surprise. I was
16:20
Speaker 1: just and I was already not having a great night,
16:22
Speaker 1: you know, Saturday night, with some other stuff going on,
16:25
Speaker 1: and I just it was just bummed for the Mariners
16:27
Speaker 1: because they had such a great year and they're so
16:29
Speaker 1: senior heavy, and it didn't and for some reason, I
16:35
Speaker 1: thought at some point that that was it. I totally
16:37
Speaker 1: forgot about the third fourth place game that they'd turn
16:39
Speaker 1: around quickly and play the next afternoon. The next day, well,
16:44
Speaker 1: I guess this was Friday night when I was watching that,
16:46
Speaker 1: so it was a Saturday afternoon when they played the
16:48
Speaker 1: next game against Bainbridge, who was the top seed, and
16:53
Speaker 1: that was a that was a pretty exciting game, especially
16:55
Speaker 1: from from the get go. Mariners got on the board
16:58
Speaker 1: with a little over eleven minutes into the game. Liam
17:01
Speaker 1: Schumacher put a left foot into the ball and through
17:03
Speaker 1: the back of the net on an assist from senior
17:05
Speaker 1: Grady Evans to give see Home a one zero lead.
17:08
Speaker 1: And then it was about twenty minutes later. See Him
17:10
Speaker 1: had a free kick which ended up as a basically
17:13
Speaker 1: a short pass to Shoemaker Schumacher and he took a
17:16
Speaker 1: shot and it was blocked by the diving goalie, but
17:18
Speaker 1: Evans was able to score off the rebound to make
17:21
Speaker 1: it to zero. And that's such a huge deal. We've
17:23
Speaker 1: talked about that having a two goal lead and how
17:26
Speaker 1: you can play a little differently when you have that
17:30
Speaker 1: kind of lead, so they had that for the most
17:33
Speaker 1: of the first half. Right at the end of the
17:35
Speaker 1: first half, Bainbridge was able to score right before halftime
17:41
Speaker 1: and it was during the extra time there. But then
17:45
Speaker 1: the second half, you know, see hoom did what they
17:47
Speaker 1: do and they played great defense and secured the win
17:50
Speaker 1: and took home the third place trophy, So congratulations to them.
17:54
Speaker 1: Schumacher got his thirteenth goal the season to shoot himself
17:58
Speaker 1: up to be by himself for the second most goals
18:00
Speaker 1: in Walkham County this year. Really impressive to watch see
18:06
Speaker 1: home play soccer. Again, I don't know that much about
18:09
Speaker 1: the sport, but you know greatness when you see it,
18:12
Speaker 1: and when you watch them and the communication they had
18:16
Speaker 1: with just head nods and just the quickness of knowing
18:19
Speaker 1: where your teammates are going to be and how they
18:22
Speaker 1: spread the pitch I guess it is, and just how
18:27
Speaker 1: they're able to be in the right place at the
18:30
Speaker 1: right time. And then the overall talent level is fantastic.
18:33
Speaker 1: So it's so fun to be able to see them
18:36
Speaker 1: up close and personal. And what a great year for
18:39
Speaker 1: the Marriagers. Pettish with third place in the state. That's
18:46
Speaker 1: a heck of a year. And yes they do have
18:48
Speaker 1: a lot of seniors, but I definitely wouldn't count them
18:50
Speaker 1: out for next year. It's just a great program that
18:53
Speaker 1: they have. There are some youngsters that are pretty good
18:56
Speaker 1: as well, but big time senior class. So yeah, it's
19:02
Speaker 1: going to be tough to say goodbye to them. We
19:04
Speaker 1: are going to give away the last North County Alliance
19:07
Speaker 1: EPC Player of the Week since they got to keep playing,
19:11
Speaker 1: and of course it's going to be another Seahome Mariner
19:13
Speaker 1: as they keep on playing. And I'm giving it to
19:15
Speaker 1: Grady Evans, the senior forward. I just thought that he's
19:20
Speaker 1: had a really great year and he's had some big
19:22
Speaker 1: time games, big time moments. But you know, I mean,
19:26
Speaker 1: he had an assist on the first goal, he scored
19:29
Speaker 1: the second goal on a rebound, kind of a caram
19:33
Speaker 1: off the goalie, kind of Johnny on the spot, right place,
19:36
Speaker 1: right time. And he is not afraid to get physical
19:40
Speaker 1: out there. He's the football player out there playing playing
19:43
Speaker 1: soccer as well, and it's just a great, great kid.
19:47
Speaker 1: Talk about someone that had adversity during basketball season, was
19:51
Speaker 1: put in there basically to be like a starting power forward,
19:54
Speaker 1: almost playing undersized outworking opponents and then he just has
20:00
Speaker 1: this horrific I want to say ankle injury. I mean
20:03
Speaker 1: it happened probably five feet from me, and it ended
20:06
Speaker 1: his basketball season and I just my heart just sunk
20:10
Speaker 1: when I saw that it happened. I reached out to him,
20:12
Speaker 1: I think it was that night, just to see how
20:15
Speaker 1: he was doing, and and you know, it was a
20:19
Speaker 1: rough one and he was able to come back and
20:21
Speaker 1: be one hundred percent for soccer, and oh it was
20:25
Speaker 1: awesome to see how he helped lead this team all
20:28
Speaker 1: the way to a third place finish. So Grady Evans,
20:31
Speaker 1: the senior from Seahome, is your North County Alliance FC
20:34
Speaker 1: Player of the Week. And really that's it for this
20:37
Speaker 1: for this podcast, There's not a ton more to talk about.
20:40
Speaker 1: I just want to thank all the coaches and athletes
20:43
Speaker 1: and athletic directors and ticket takers and fans and parents
20:47
Speaker 1: and so many people that have just been so positive
20:51
Speaker 1: towards me for what I've I'm trying to do for
20:55
Speaker 1: the community and and I'm going to keep working hard
20:58
Speaker 1: to do the best that I can. And and so
21:02
Speaker 1: there will be some more podcasts coming out kind of
21:05
Speaker 1: kind of quickly. I would imagine Ryland will be back
21:08
Speaker 1: from Cleveland and we're gonna probably start breaking down the
21:11
Speaker 1: top fifty for baseball and fast pitch. The list has
21:14
Speaker 1: been happening, names have been coming out, but I'm pretty
21:18
Speaker 1: sure that after the first twenty have been named for
21:22
Speaker 1: each sport, there will probably be a breakdown of those
21:25
Speaker 1: athletes in a podcast form for fast pitch and baseball,
21:30
Speaker 1: and then the next twenty same type of deal, and
21:32
Speaker 1: then the final ten we will do it again. So
21:35
Speaker 1: it's kind of what we did last year. It seemed
21:37
Speaker 1: to work out pretty well, so I'm sure we'll jump
21:40
Speaker 1: on that. It won't be exactly, you know, every Monday
21:43
Speaker 1: morning when the podcast will come out like everybody's used to,
21:46
Speaker 1: just because it takes an x amount of days for
21:50
Speaker 1: twenty athletes to be named, takes well, it takes ten days,
21:54
Speaker 1: and it's you know, the list came out started coming
21:58
Speaker 1: out a couple of days ago, so your look at
22:00
Speaker 1: about a little less than a week maybe when the
22:02
Speaker 1: next podcast will come out when we'll start talking about, uh,
22:06
Speaker 1: some of these athletes and and you know, I'm already
22:10
Speaker 1: getting a lot of negativity on my knowledge of these sports,
22:16
Speaker 1: but that's fine. It's all kind of comes with it.
22:18
Speaker 1: So but yeah, uh, you know, hopefully you're you know,
22:23
Speaker 1: having fun with those top fifty countdowns. And and I
22:27
Speaker 1: think this is my fourth or fifth year doing baseball,
22:31
Speaker 1: and I believe my second year doing fast pitch. So
22:35
Speaker 1: I didn't do it again for soccer, just because, again
22:38
Speaker 1: I I don't want to do it, you know, disjustice,
22:42
Speaker 1: I guess I should say, because I just don't know
22:44
Speaker 1: enough about the sport. I don't want to leave out
22:46
Speaker 1: kids that are obvious, you know, names that would be
22:50
Speaker 1: in there that I didn't recognize things just because of
22:53
Speaker 1: you know, how naive I am towards a sporter or
22:56
Speaker 1: unknowing of the rules and stuff like that. So hopefully
23:00
Speaker 1: someday I probably need a little help on it, maybe
23:03
Speaker 1: get some officials or coaches to kind of get together.
23:06
Speaker 1: And also with the all conference teams, you know, baseball
23:09
Speaker 1: at soccer, a lot of these. I have no clue
23:12
Speaker 1: who made the all conference teams. As soon as I
23:14
Speaker 1: know these, I will publish them, getting to get them out.
23:17
Speaker 1: I did post them for tennis and fast pitch because
23:23
Speaker 1: I got that info. If an athletic director or a
23:25
Speaker 1: coach sends it to me boom. I'll get it out
23:27
Speaker 1: as soon as I can with stats, names, everything, whatever
23:31
Speaker 1: I have, I will get out to you. So again,

Speaker 1: thank you to everybody so much just for everything, your
24:06
Speaker 1: hospitality and allowing me into you know, this world of
24:11

Speaker 1: of sports that you can watch. It is, like I
24:17
Speaker 1: always say, it's the highest level of organic sports that
24:19
Speaker 1: you can watch. You're trying to win state championships with
24:22
