• 4:53
  Speaker 4: weekly thing with your logo right on it. We'll talk
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: about on the podcast. Also the daily the round of
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: what happened the night before. In volleyball, I mean, these
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: are pretty much six days a week. There's games every
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: single night for the most part, except for Sunday night obviously.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: And uh and also you know, like the stat leaders,
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: there's those graphics with the top five kills per set,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: top five aces percent digs, stuff like that. We could
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: you know, there's that's an opening as well. So there
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: are openings if you want to sponsor volleyball for certain things,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: and and yeah, it's all right there. So and there's
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: there's even openings for football stuff. So any there's you know,
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: there's always options out there. There's tennis stuff that's open.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: So so yeah, just get a hold of me through
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: through social media and and together we can keep this
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: thing going.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: And really, I mean, if they wanted to reach.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Out to you and said, hey, this is the budget
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I have, we're gonna find a way to make something work.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, definitely, everything's negotiable. You know, I want to
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: be able to you know, I don't want to like
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: shut anybody out or make anyone feel like, well, this
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: isn't never gonna work. WILL always make something work, and
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: we just have to work together and and and we'll
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: find it. You know, it's been so far. I think
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: I've found a good price point for lots of things
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: because you know, everyone's you know, no one comes back
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: with something lower or anything like that. Everyone everyone agrees,
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: but they say I'm going to go back and I'll
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: let you know, and then they let me know that
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: they are going to do it. It's not like they
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: jump on it right away, and it's not like they
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: you know, ask for less. So it's so far, the
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: price points I think have been pretty much right on.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: And so I think everything's been good and and and
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: the positivity has been great. You know, a lot of
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: people said you should go to this place, you should
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: go to that place. And every time I've gone and
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: talked to somebody about sponsoring, they always kind of are like,
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: what's walkome Preps? And if you don't know what it is,
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: it's kind of sometimes hard to explain, especially if it's
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: an older business owner kind of does things a certain way.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: You know, they're not quite sure what a podcast is
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: or something like that. But it seems like a lot
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: of local business owners that are that that really follow
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: walking Preps. They've come to me and whenever they come
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: to me, it's worked out. So yeah, uh so yeah.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: So it's just that's just been a great positive thing
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: and like I said it, it keeps it alive and
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: I think we'll be able to do this for a
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: long time.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I think what you're trying to say too, in a way,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: is like, if you know of a place that would
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: be you know in or makes sense for a sponsorship,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: maybe go to the business and and tell them, hey,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: you guy should think about sponsoring walk Them Preps. It
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: makes a lot of sense, and then maybe they reach
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: out to you that way. Something like that. Tyler, I
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: got a hundred bucks, all right, I want to get
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: rid of coach lap here on the website.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: And what I want is I want.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: To picture of Ryland Bernardi because she's got the best
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: name in the county.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, oh, like on the background of actual wokompreps
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: dot com.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we need to get a coach leap off there
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: and I want Rylan Bernardi on there.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Is what I want.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I need an action shot of her and uh it'll
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: have my signature in the corner so people will think
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: that she has the greatest nature of all time.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Consider it done? Yes, all right.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Hey, we've got so many podcasts going up the last
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: few days it's insane. All ten teams for the for
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Football are in earlier today. If you're subscribed to the podcast,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: which I don't know why you wouldn't be, you would
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: have got a notification for the week one football preview.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: But today we are talking volleyball for the first time ever,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: they get their own preview.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: You and I haven't discussed the weekly podcast schedule.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: In depth yet, right, but we both are in agreements
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: that we got to do a fall sports weekly wrap up,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: just like we did with winter and spring. The only
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: difference is there won't be any football talk because football
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: is going to keep doing what we've been doing, which
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: is a weekly recap and then a weekly preview. So
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: you people that love WACOM preps podcasts, I'm looking at you, Whitman,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: you people specifically women and everybody else. You're gonna have
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: probably is the way we're looking at here. Three podcasts
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: a week. I mean, get used to the voices, folks,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: get used to them. But yeah, let's talk a little
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: volleyball Tyler. Yeah, and what we're gonna do, We're just
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: gonna go right down the list alphabetical. Know nothing crazy
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: about it. This isn't anything more than just, hey, we're
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: starting with Bellingham because the alphabet starts with Bellingham as
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: far as volleyball goes, actually wak them county sports in
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: general goes. So yeah, let's talk Bellingham BayHawks Tyler, Melissa
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Sodo Gonzalez, the head coach over there, twenty twenty three
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: record for the BayHawks and nine and eleven overall, six
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: and nine in Northwest Conference play. And what we're gonna
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: do here, we're gonna talk about the players lost graduation
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: last year. And when we talk about those players, we're
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: gonna specifically mention the players out of the top fifty.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at three players here out of the top
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: fifty Tyler the BayHawks have to replace coming from last season.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, some really good ones.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: Obviously, Chase Flick Williams, who's going on to play volleyball
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: at Western Washington University, just you know, probably one of
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: the best overall pure athletes in Walking County last year.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: That's gonna be a tough one to replace. They did
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: have to replace her during the season late last year
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: when she hurt her.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Leg against Lakewood.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: She was able to come back and but just playing
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: some defense in the in the back, she didn't have
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: for that jumping ability to carry to carry the team through.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: So you know, that was a thing that happens.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: And you get to bring in some youngsters and get
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: some experience, and now that's gonna, you know, show itself
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: this year, which is going to be very helpful. They're
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: a very young team with only one senior. Also, Mesha Rivier,
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: she was the setter last year, really really good solid player.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: And Catherine chen who played up who played up front
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: as an outside hitter, a pin She kind of took
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: that bought after Chase got hurt last year. So all
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: three of those players were in the top fifty list
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: last year. They've all graduated, so, yeah, those are gonna
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: be some really good Those are some.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Top players that are gonna be tough to replace.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: As we start looking at the roster for this year, Tyler,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: two players from the top fifty are coming back, including
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: the forty third and twenty eighth overall players out of
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: that top fifty.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, number forty three was Jada Knutson.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: She's a junior now five foot nine outside hitter, very athletic, strong, explosive,
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: you know, really good track athlete, throwing the javelin, high jump,
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: stuff like that. So she'll be kind of that main
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: offensive threat that Chase was last year. She'll she'll definitely
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: take over that spot at the outside hitter position. And
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: Mary Lockhart, who you know, they call her the wall
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: on defense.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: I mean she is five foot eleven. She she I
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: think she may have been in like the.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Top five in blocks last year as the season was,
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: you know, came to an end. Very very good, very
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: strong in the middle, you know, really good basketball player
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: and just one of those forces in the middle. One
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: of the best defensive players coming back this year. I
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: think she'll be a little bit more offensive as well.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: But it's nice to have, you know, your tallest player
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: right there in the middle and kind of knows how
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: to read other teams offenses and and go to the
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: ball the right way and all that stuff. And hard
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: to believe she's just a junior too, because it seems
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: like I've been watching her do a ton of sports
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: over the last couple of years and she's always one
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: of the best athletes on the court or on the
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: track or wherever she is.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: And she's just a junior now. So it's just it's
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: it is.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: It is crazy and and but those are going to
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: be the two they're going to lean on this upcoming year.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Let's take a look at now at the Blaine Border
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Rights UH. kJ Assink the new head coach. Over their
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: first year with the Border Rights, UH six and twelve
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: last year overall five and ten in Northwest Conference play,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: losing two players to the UH to graduation out of
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: the top fifty Tyler and a couple of names that
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I really recognize, those sames. I feel like we talked
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: about these two a lot last year.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Taya Zadic also going on to Western Washington University.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: She was six feet tall.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: She was the main major offensive threat on the Blain
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Border right team last year. That the tough thing was,
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: you know, it was a rough year for them because
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: they kind of knew where a lot of that power
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: was gonna be, so you could really prepare for that,
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: and still she still had a big year with numbers
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: and everything.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: Bella Vizetti as well, you know, a really really good player,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: very could do a lot of things. She would do.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: She did some setting. She kind of was all over
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: the place. They kind of went with two setters, which
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: was interesting. They'd kind of go back and forth. Deja
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: Dubay was another player that just was out of the
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: top fifty that has graduated going on to play college
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: basketball now. So there are some some you know, some
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: some holes there that they're going to have to replace.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: But with a new coach and a new outlook, you know,
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: you kind of, you know, you never know what kind
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: of changes are going to be made now.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Coming back on the roster from the top fifty last
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: year and at number thirty one, Caitlin Harrington, a senior
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: six foot two outside hitter.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: Tyler, Yeah, very very impressive player. She did some she
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: was played a little bit of setter last year as well,
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: which you rarely see that your tallest player as a setter,
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: but but the setter is really like it's almost like
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: a catcher in baseball and a you know, a point
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: guard in basketball. Like you're really only as good as
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: your setter. I mean I I noticed that last year
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: pretty quickly. And you start seeing that because they have
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: to kind of see everything they have to they're placing
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: everything in the right spot. They have to do a
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: lot of the communicating and and kind of setting everything up,
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: and it's it's really like I learned so much every
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: single week by what the setter does and how important
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: the setter is. And there was a lot of really
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: good ones in the county. But you know, at six
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: foot two, I think she's gonna be moved out to
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: outside hitter. I think Breece Smith will come in and
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: be the setter. She she was more of a kind
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: of a defensive specialist last year and was kind of
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: all over the place. And then Tea Dubay will be
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: a good outside hitter. Carly Saunders a six feet tall,
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: she could be like the pin And there's so there's
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: a lot of there's a there's some pretty good uh
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: just you know, height, it's not it's not a ton
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: of players on the team, but Olivia Weed is a
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: five to ten sophomore, Olivia Price five to ten senior.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: So there's some pretty good hight height at the net there.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: And with a new coach and a new outlook, we'll see.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: How they do.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Let's now talk Ferndale Golden Eagles volleyball here Tyler head
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: coach Mikayla Tannis. Last season, the Golden Eagles eleven and
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: nine overall, nine and six in the Northwest Conference. And
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: they too lose two players from the top fifty out
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: of the top twenty as a matter of fact.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Tia gildey And and Mallory Button shown two
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: really good players. Now they're teammates and at I think
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: Scheduled Valley College playing volleyball. So those are two really,
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: really super impressive players that were just kind of the
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: heart and soul of.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: That team, and and they did.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Really well in the Northwest Conference. I remember them upsetting
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Sea home. That was a huge, huge game.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: I was there.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: It was one of the most exciting matches I saw
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: all year, and but so much of it was that
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: drive that these two seniors had and now it's only
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: two that they lose. But it's tough because once they
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: get into the postseason, now you're looking at just three
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: A teams. And there's some great three A volleyball teams
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: you know in the in the in the district and there,
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: you know, a couple of years ago they did some
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: good things and went on into the state tournament and
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: placed a few times. And so there is a tradition there. Uh,
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: and there's a lot of experience coming back. Yeah, a
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: lot of experience coming back. Four players out of the
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: top fifty tiler including number thirteen, twenty two, thirty four,
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: and thirty seven. And the crazy thing is only two
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: of those four are seniors. Yeah, it's it's it's one
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: of the most you know, experienced teams.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: That's that's returning.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: Brooklyn Larrabee as a freshman last year was just amazing.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Such a good setter.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: Uh, just a sophomore now and I mean everything she does,
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: her serving is great, but you know her no look
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: sets behind like that go behind her. She can place
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: them in just the right spot. It's so amazing. Like
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: I saw so many drills over the last week where
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: you know, like everybody's doing like a set, and when
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: you see a setter.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Set, it just looks different.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: It looks like it looks like it looks like like fluttery,
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Like it's just really it's like, there's it's so soft,
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: it's so like easy.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: It's like that doesn't make a sound, you know.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like you were to me throwing out the
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: first pitch instead of Greg Maddox with the two sammer.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's just it's so it's so interesting to
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: watch and it's like, how are they doing that?
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: She's she's got a real real knack for it.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: Katrina Ferry as a defensive specialist and liberro most of
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: times she played liberro last year really really good defensively,
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: she gets after it.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: She'll be back.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: She's a really really fiery player that is almost like
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: a like an emotional leader, and she really gets into it,
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: gets gets her teammates involved. Ama Lee McKeon is only
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: five foot eight in the middle, but she won Defensive
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: Player of the Week. She might have even won it twice,
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: I don't know. She was up there in blocks and
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: most most middles are around six feet tall and she
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: and at five eight, she's just got really good athleticism,
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: really good hops, great timing, and so she became a
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: force defensively. I think she'll do a lot more offensively
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: as well. And Olivia cops at only five five as
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: an outside hitter, which is pretty rare. You gotta have
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: really good athletic ability to be able to play well
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: at that position at that height, which she has, and
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: she does a great job on the tennis court, and
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: you know, we've seen her do different sports like that,
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: so all those players have a lot of experience coming back.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: Ley Williams started last year at five ten as a
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: pin that's kind of like the right of the blocker.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: You're still up on the front line.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: And yeah, so like usually on the front line, you
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: got the outside hitter on the left, then the middle blocker,
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: and then the pin on the right. And the pin
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: has to have a little bit more defensive mindset because
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: you're going opposite of their outside hitter, so you're kind
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: of teaming up with the middle a lot on blocks
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: and different things, but you still have to have height
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: and to have an offensive repertoire to attack. It's known
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: as like the right side or the power or the in,
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: and it's had a lot of different names, but she
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: returns as a starter as well. And uh, and you
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: know there's and Mariah Rais as a senior. She played
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: quite a bit, a really good server, defensive specialist, so
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: she's she has a ton of experience. So there they returned.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: They're gonna return six starters that played a ton and
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: that's gonna be really really beneficial. H And so I
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: mean it's and you got you got some youngsters. I
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: mean Svetlana Badak, six foot sophomore and that's kind of
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: the next wave of outside hitter that's gonna becoming Gabby
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: Lentz and a five to ten senior in the middle.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: So you got some height there. There's a lot of
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: good things to like about this year's team. I think
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: they're gonna make another kind of another jump up. It'll
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: just be a matter of how they do in the playoffs.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be tough once you get to that three
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: A in the playoffs.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about the Lyndon Lyons Tyler head coach Chris
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Elsner uh twenty two and two last season, fifteen to
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: zero in Northwest Conference play and the third place finish
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: in the state tournament. When you talk about teams that
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: have lost a lot. Yeah, and I'm not even talking
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: just volleyball, right, like when we talk about, oh, this
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: team lost a lot in football, which sometimes it could
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: be twelve or fourteen guys. Oh, this this team, they
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: don't just lose some like numbers wise, well, they definitely do.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: We're talking top fifty, Tyler. They lose four of the
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: top eight, including three of the top four, and what
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: would be six overall out of the top fifty is
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: what they lose.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: The graduation from last year, Yeah, it's crazy. They had
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: eight players that were named to the Top fifty. They're
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: only suiting up eight players on varsity this year, so
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: it's a big difference now from last year. They they
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: had a, you know, a really good shot of going
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: into state tournament and winning it. You know, they just
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: they just caught you know. They went up against a
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: really good team. I want to say it might have
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: been Ridgefield and that was and that was just like
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: Holy Cow. I mean, their only loss earlier in the
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: year was to I think like the top four a
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: team the state, and they took them to five sets.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: And I was there for that loss in the state.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: In the state tournament, they regrouped. They captured third place
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: in the state by beating Burlington Edison. Yeah, which was
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: which is a really good team. They returned everybody. That's
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: the scary thing, Like the best team coming back in
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: the Northwest Conference is not in the not in Walking County,
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: It's it's Burlington Edison.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: They returned everybody. They did not have a senior last
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: year and they got fourth in state. Holy cow. I mean, so, yeah,
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: so that's the team. Now I don't follow them.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: So they could they could have a kid that's injured,
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: they could have a kid that transferred.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but they didn't. But they did not
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: have a scene.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: On paper from what you know, right, Yeah, I mean
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: and it was Ridgefield Tyler as. Yeah, they lost to
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: and then Ridgefield ended up losing to Columbia River, the
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: number state champs there three nothing.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: So yeah, Columbia River was legit.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: I think they had some players that were gonna go
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: to Auburn and at least one player is going to Auburn,
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: and then Richfield has the player going to Stanford.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: So it was at the two A level. You got a.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: Player like that, That's that's pretty crazy. But you're right
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: about Lyndon. They lose you know, Grace Rice, Ashley Shoemate,
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: Maya vander Yacht, Hailey Coouchi. All four of them are
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: playing college volleyball now. And then Ava Langstratt and Casey
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: Thomas as well. So those are six great seniors. And yeah,
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: it's so funny because it's kind of like football, where
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: you go, man, they lose a lot, and then I've
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: made the mistake in the past by saying, oh, you know,
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: this could be a down year. And then I'm like,
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: why did I even make that mistake. I went up
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: to practice. Then they looked, they looked really good. They're
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: two best players coming back, you know, are both juniors
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: that are both six foot one I'm sorry junior and
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: a sophomore Ryan Ryan Stephan and Finley Parcher. And these
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: are really really good athletes. Ryan Stephan is very very
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: powerful with her hits, and she's she can jump, she's tall,
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: she's aggressive. And Finley Parcher is got d one basketball
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: player written all over her.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: I mean that's right. I was gonna say, I knew
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: I recognized that name.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she was after Devin Koppinger. She was the next
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: best player in Wakin County and it was, as you know,
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: as a freshman, and it was a relatively easy choice.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: And so she is a great, great athlete.
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: And I got to sit next to her grandpa at
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: the state tournament, which was a lot of fun.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: And he was you know, he's pointing out, He's.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: Like, that's my granddaughter right there. I was like, oh,
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: that's awesome, and and there is there is a little
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: bit of experience as well coming back. You know, Rhys
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Nihoff as a defensive specialist. Cameron and Lexi hermanutes. Lexi
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: is is taller, she'll be up in the middle at
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: five eleven. Cameron Herman hermanout's played a little bit. Campbell DeYoung,
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: who we talked a ton about during fast Pitch Ye.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: She was a top ten player and fast pitch. She's
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: a great, great athlete, I mean, superb athlete. And so
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: she'll be back as a libero, kind of digging everything
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: that she can get. Sarah McVie as a sophomore that
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: only five to seven but is also a middle blocker.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: And and Izzy Stephan, who I don't know that much about.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: She's just a freshman, but she was the only player
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: that on the roster that it says setter. And when
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: I see a setter that's a freshman, she must be
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: pretty darn good. And she's replacing the best. She's replacing
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: Grace Rice, So I would imagine I know that gives
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: puts a little bit of pressure on her, but I
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: would imagine that, you know, if coach Elsner has the
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: trust in her to lead the team and come out
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: as a freshman and do that, then I'm just gonna
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: put my hands up and say she knows what she's doing.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Uh, she could be a great one.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: I just don't know that much because I don't follow
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: junior high volleyball, you know what I mean. So, uh,
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: this could be this could be a team that will
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: just you know, be great as usual.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: I just don't know.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: I've only seen a few of these players play for
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: the most part, because that's so much so many seniors
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: that were on the court all the time.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when you start talking about somebody that has I
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: guess earned the right to uh not be second guest. Yeah,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Chris Elsner's a decent I mean absolutely, yeah, Tyler, let's
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: talk Lindon Christ really quickly.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: Though.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: One thing I was gonna say, actually was when I
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: started looking over this Lindon roster. It is actually crazy
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: how much I already kind of know about these athletes. Like,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: as you started talking, I was just like, actually, I
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: know a lot of these names, Like, yeah, this is
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: actually pretty crazy. Why do I know so much about
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Wakam County volleyball? What's going on here? I mean, we
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: did talk about it a lot last year, and we
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: did do a top fifty countdown.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: I assume, yeah, we did that, and we did talk
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: about it, but a lot of these athletes did other sports.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: You know, we talked about basketball every single week. And
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: as soon as the Young I was like, oh, yeah,
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: who that is? You know exactly who that is, right,
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: because we talked fast pitch every single week, and she's
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: she's the Ricky Anderson Obaukham County.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: And there was uh, there was a de Young at
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Lennon Christian doing like shot put or something too, wasn't it?
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Yes, Tappy to Young? See you look at this. I
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: mean I'm not half bad. Tyler. Yeah, you know your stuff.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: I'm not one dimensional, just not just a football guy. Right,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: it's a football here. Let's talk Lennon Christian Tyler, And
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: you know, I hate to put you on the spot here.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: But do we need to talk about their new head
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: coach at all? I mean, I mean, do you do
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: you want to say some of the things you said before?
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, we Dennis Jansen first year with the team, Tyler,
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: but you'd tell me there's a little bit of a
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: story to Dennis Jansen.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's definitely not a first year coach.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: And at any point he was inducted into the n
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: a I A Hall of Fame, and two thousand and
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: three the Fresno Athletic Hall of Fame and twenty ten
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: just a just an amazing career. I think six national titles.
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: Really knows his stuff. I met him earlier today and
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: it was great. I mean he was you know, he
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: was he had a lot of obviously a lot of
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: command of the team.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: I mean he was very he I don't.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: Know how to say it, but you can you know
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: when you've seen someone that's coached for a long time,
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: how they just have that presence. And he was doing
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: these he That's the thing is like I saw everybody
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: do drills, even if it was just for well three
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: or four minutes, but I watched I watched Lindy Christian
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: longer than I watched anybody, because he had some really
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: interesting drills that was like just different, and I'm sure
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: that he did on the college level, you know. And
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: there was a lot of things that he did and
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: then he would stop and he would say, okay, you know,
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: he would point something out and he'd kind of you know,
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: raise his voice a little bit, and then as soon
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: as that was done, they were better. And then like
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: three or four minutlater, he'd stop and do it again,
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: and then they were even better after that, and then
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: it was then they were great, and he could just
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: you could see everything churning where it's like, holy cow,
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: this guy and I you know, and I think if
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: you just look at the records, I think the links
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: are going to have the biggest jump in like winning
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: percentage this year.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: But there's other reasons for that, which we'll get into.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, last year ten and eleven overall seven and eight
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: in the Northwest Conference, Tyler, it says your top fifty
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: players lost her graduation. Really this should say top fifty
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: players lost to U HAUL because they did have a
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: top fifty player. But this athlete has moved out of state.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm Malia Johnson. I you know, and I
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: didn't know anything about it. I went to practice today.
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: I didn't see her. I've seen her practice. I remember
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: seeing her as a freshman taking head taking headshots. So
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: I didn't I didn't see her anywhere, and I didn't ask.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: I didn't think about it. I just realized it like later.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: I was like, Oh, she wasn't even there. And then
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: I go on her Instea and I'm pretty sure that
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: she moved to Arizona. So that is a loss. But
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: I tell you what they return. Not only did they
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: return three players that made the top fifty last year,
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: but they returned too amazing players that were injured last season.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like they picked up a couple of free agents.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: I mean absolutely, So it's it's really interesting when you
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: look at it and you just kind of go wow,
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: Like what they did last year with the injuries they
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: had was pretty amazing, and for being such a young team.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: And this year and Lennon Christian has I mean, there
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: was a year I think it was just two or
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: three years ago they went into the state tournament like
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: they eked kind of it. They kind of eked their
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: way into the state tournament. It was the first year
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: they did this seeding one through sixteen, and they were
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: given the sixteen seed because they were like one of
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: those teams that kind of like, wow, they surprised in
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: the district tournament and they they got there, they got
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: in somehow, and they got to the state title game,
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: you know, from being a sixteen seeds. So they have
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: a presence about them and a history that you know
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: is not wasn't that far away, and they They've had
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: some tremendous players over the years, players that have gone
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: on and played at big, big time colleges, and there's
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: always a lot of height there. So I think with
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: the new coach coming in and all those things kind
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: of coming together, this is gonna be a team that's
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: you're gonna you're gonna have to look for. The top
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: players that were coming back that played last year. Audrey
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: Ellingbow a five to five senior libero, Ella Fritz five
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: to ten junior setter, and Ellie Meyer, a five to
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: six junior defensive specialist.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: UH they all made the top fifty last year.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: I think I think Ellie Meyer like had to play
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: on the front line last year because of the injuries
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: up front.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: There was a lot of moving around. UH. Poor Audrey Ellingbow.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: Was just diving all over the place, sacrificing your body
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: to keep to keep plays alive and and keep things going.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: And Ella Fritz is just such a athlete.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, I she really stood out on the volleyball court,
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: and then I saw her in the basketball court and
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: I was like, holy cow, she's even a better basketball player.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: She is.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: I could not believe that she was a sophomore last year,
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: just the how heady of a player she is and
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: how smart, and it just I was like, Wow, Okay,
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: the future looks looks great. Sidney Turpstra five ten senior
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: outside hitter and Ali Wright, a six to two junior middle,
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: we're both injured.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Last year.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: Ali played a few games and then got hurt. Sydney
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: got hurt before the season started and missed the entire season.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: And when I walked.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: Into practice today, those two they greeted me by name,
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: like everyone's like kind of whispering at each other and
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: blah blah blah, and they both said, hey, Tyler, I
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: think they're so excited to just get the season going
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: and play with their teammates and it's just gonna be
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: just all that put together is gonna be fantastic. Yeah,
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: Daniel Dikster, who's six feet tall, another great great basketball player,
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: you know, Jocelyn s s iye at six ' one,
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: so more edit a young is five eleven, Kenzie Lentzen's
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: five eleven. And then you got some defensive specialists like
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: Lyla Pereira, Emery Wirsma. It's gonna be one of the
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: stronger teams in one A. And you know, four out
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: of the five teams in one A in Wakin County
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: got new head coaches, four out of five, and so
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: there's gonna be lots of weird, different things kind of
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: going on. But I think one thing you can kind
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: of put your stamp on is that the Links are
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: going to be better than ten and eleven.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Tyler says it. It's gotta be true, Tyler. Let's talk
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: about the Meridian Trojans head coach Angie Short. Last year,
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: the Trojans went seventeen and six overall, eleven and four
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: at Northwest Conference play, and they finished fourth in the
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: state tournament. Top fifty players lost a graduation just one,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: but number three overall.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: Emery Clay's was just a you know, just a stud
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: to be honest, I mean she was. They were just
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: it was always a look to set her up. And
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: what she got really good at was because the other
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: teams kind of always knew it was coming. She was
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: really really good at like the little floater over the
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: defensive players, you know, because she was so powerful and
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: they always geared up for that. She became really aware
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: of when to just put the easy touch on the
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: ball instead of powering it through and it would just
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: you know, you still get a kill either way if
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: you get the point right. And she I think she
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: led and kills per set throughout the year, and they
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: rode her through the playoffs into the state tournament, finished
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: fourth in state, and she was the only senior on
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: that team.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is a team with a ton of
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: experience and a ton of playoff experience.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: So many players return and it's really really going to
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: be a fun year for the Trojans.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Now, Tyler, when we talk about what they return here, yeah,
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: I mean not only did they return four out of
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: the top fifty, but some serious serious players here.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, Ryland Bernardi is probably the top
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: probably the top senior in Walkin County, just as far
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: as overall player, and she's she's just she so athletic,
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: she goes after everything. Another libero that is just fearless,
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: you know. And and Eden Bernardi as sophomore, one of
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: the best, like just service you know at the service line.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: She is unbelievable. She's she's tremendous, way ahead of her years,
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: and then very very athletic. She's gonna kind of take
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: that spot that Emery had last year probably and and
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: be that player that's going to rack up the offensive stats.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: She is also extremely furious or sorry, fearless going after
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: the ball. When I was at practice, she had a
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: dive where if they didn't have the wall padded, like
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: she'd probably have like.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: A broken neck or something.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: I mean, she just went after everything and I just thought,
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: my goodness, like they're.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: Just a practice. You know.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: This was like eight thirty at night on a holiday,
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: on Labor Day and they're out there practicing, and it
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: was just awesome to see, you know, her go after
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: everything and she just you could tell she's got that
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: competitive drive and I saw it.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: I saw it.
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: And on the basketball court too, Grace Wells is unbelievable setter,
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: and you know, it was it was a thing where
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: she kind of knew what to do last year going
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: to Emery clay Is. Now you got a lot of
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: weapons around you, and she'll be very good at dispensing
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: it all the way around. Gracie pap we talked about
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: last year during the track season, hik jumping great, great athlete,
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: and she is. I think she's got one of has
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: perhaps the best potential out there as far as a
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: player that I don't think has reached that potential yet.
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: When she in the middle and she jumps up to block,
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: she stays in.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: The I don't know.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: I don't know how to explain it, Like she floats
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: for a little bit and it's just different than other
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: players and already being five to eleven and to be
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: able to do that, She's got some great athletic ability
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: that will allow her to put up bigger numbers this year.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: And as she grows with her confidence and stuff like that,
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's she could be a really dynamic player
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: that could shoot her way up the top fifty list
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: this upcoming year. Emilia Koning was a great defensive player
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: last year as a freshman and a really good server
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: as well. Taya Benson is five foot ten, plays in
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: the middle. Good basketball player. Another great athlete out there.
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: Kinsley Neil is all over the place, another basketball player,
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: just five foot three, but she she she sacrifices her
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: body as well. And all these players played so much
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: in the playoffs last year. And they have a freshman
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: coming in mel Short and she's an outside hitter as well,
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: so she's kind of gonna I mean, if you ever
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: if you put a freshman on the varsity team, you
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: don't you know, you don't do that to have them
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: just sit on the bench, I don't think, because you
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: get want to stunt their growth. So, uh, this is
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: a team that was fourth and state last year and
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: loses only one player. Yeah it was their best player.
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: But you bring so much experience, Brack and you and
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: you have a really good freshman to be on to
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: be excited about as well. I mean, this is a
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: team that if you're just looking at your projecting or
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: I'm looking at for at projecting, you know, I told
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: you off the air, I said, this is the team
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: I think has the ability to make the deepest run
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: in the playoffs. Now, Linnon Christian, I just I'm a
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: little unsure because I need to see them all play together.
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: They have a lot of potential with the two players
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: coming back from injury and the and the coach with
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: the with the pedigree obviously, but that matchup is going
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: to be phenomenal, and it's going to be you know,
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: they'll meet each other in the regular season, and then
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: they'll probably meet each other in the district championship game,
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: and then they'll probably end up both going to State
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: and who knows what's going to happen after that, but
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: I'll be there.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: You can count on that. I'm excited about it.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this looks like a pretty exciting team, the kind
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: of Marie. Yes here, uh, Tyler, let's talk Mount Baker
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Mountaineers first year head coach at Jennifer Galbreth, first year
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: with the team. I don't know if Jennifer's coached anywhere
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: else anyway, own eighteen. Last year I owned sixteen in
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: the Northwest Conference. Do not lose any players from the
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: top fifty to graduation. As a matter of fact, last
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: year had just the one top fifty player, and it
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: was the player that I made the first graphic for.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: I like the first one. I mean, as soon as
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: I saw the name right here, I was like, oh,
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: I know that name.
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: How do I know that one? Oh?
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, Tyler, let's talk Mount Baker volleyball. Well,
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: I think coach Gaberth has come in and really changed
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: the mindset, changed the culture, and I think that's amazing.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: You know, she played, she played college volleyball, and she's she's.
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: Really got them to buy in and believe. And it's
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: been a rough couple of years and it's just, you know,
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: it's they have to really buying in the system. And
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: once you get some wins under your belt, even if
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: they're just sets, you just get that positivity going. And
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: she's really got things turned around. She's got players turning
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: out that weren't turning out before. I think there's a
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: really start. There's starting to be a culture change there,
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: which is much needed in this Mount Baker Volleyball volleyball program.
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: Annalie Cohene is the player you were talking about, five
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: foot four senior setter. She was the best player on
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: the team last year. I was really really concerned that
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: she wasn't going to be playing volleyball this year. We
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: talked about her during fast pitch. She was playing pretty
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: much the whole year with a really bad shoulder injury
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: and kind of had to get through those the playoffs
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: in a lot of pain. But she's extremely tough and
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: what she did just like I just you know, there's
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: players that you're always going to remember for the rest
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: of your lives because of certain things they do on
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: the field or.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: The court or the track or wherever.
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: And it just like you just shake your head and
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: you go, this is a amazing the kind of what
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: like what they're doing playing through injury. And I was
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: worried that she wasn't gonna miss it because of the
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: surgery and stuff like that. I asked her today how
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: the shoulder is. She's like, she smiled, and she goes,
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: I'm good, you know, I'm ready to play.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: And I was like, wow, that is awesome.
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: Sometimes these younger athletes, they recover so fast and it's
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: just kind of mind boggling. But having her able to
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: play is really gonna set the tone. No pun intended
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: as the setter for the rest of the team. The
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: ripple effect is going to be great. Kennedy Rathchin and
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: Gracie Zender are two seniors that that didn't play before
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: and are both coming out both awesome fast pitch players
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: that know their athletic ability can only help along with
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: you know, with Alyssa Derocco. I mean, she's another good
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: fast pitch player that's coming out, and she's a senior
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: as well. Kaylin Jewell, who was on the on the
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: JV last year, is five foot ten now and she's
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: gonna she'll be out on the pin. There's not a
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: lot of height here, but her and Rhes Brown, the
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: five to ten junior, are the only two that are
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: at five ten. Everyone else is five eight or shorter,
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: so you're gonna have to rely on speed and defense here.
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: Maddy Lewis was a player as a junior last year
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: or I'm sorry, as a sophomore last year or junior now.
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: She put up some pretty good numbers, uh, and she
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: you know, they kind of she had to be kind
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: of one of the best players up at the net.
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: But she could do a lot of different things. She
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: could be a middle blocker, she could be a setter.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: You never know.
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: Amariah Nutting has got she's got some pretty good hops
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: at five only at five foot seven. Same with Kai
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: gez Mundo. She's a she's a really good high jumper,
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: like a really good high jumper. So there's a lot
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: of athletic ability there. Dakota Jimmy played a ton as
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: a defensive specialist last year. So they they do return
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: a lot of players that have experienced they just need
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: to experience some winning and with the with the new coach,
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: coach Galberth coming in, uh, I think things are gonna
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: get turned in the right direction.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: Tyler, how many yards per return do you think Kylie
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: Brulin would have?
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, cause's just thinking a Brady brilliant Yeah, Brady Brian,
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: that's right.
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, I haven't seen.
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: Kylie Brulin play of volleyball, so uh so I'm excited.
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: We'll see, we'll see. I mean this is there's a
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: lot of new faces or you know, but of athletes
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: that I've seen in other sports. So we'll see. Uh,
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: we'll see how it all gels together on the volleyball court.
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: I mean it's funny, Like I get it.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: Maybe I shouldn't be making football jokes here, but Tyler,
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: I look at Nukzack Valley's like preview here that we're
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: talking about. There's like seven names that I know, just
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: the last name from football, you know what I mean?
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: Like this is unbelievable here Nuksack Valley Pioneers. Tyler uh
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: first year head coach with the Pioneers Holly Saint Marie
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: fourteen and eight overall record last year, ten and five
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: in the Northwest Conference, sixth place finished in the state.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: And they do lose some serious talent to graduation, including
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: four of the top fifty from the countdown.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they had.
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: They had seven players named on the top fifty list
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: and four of them were seniors. Big time contributors to
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: the program. Laney Kimball, who's, you know, one of the
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: best overall athletes the school has ever seen. Tannahukama, who
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: at six over six feet tall, was just a force
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: at the net. Juliana Jamaica was a great, great defensive
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: player along and Kaylin likel also as a pin was
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: was really really good, good server as well. So there's
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: some big time pieces there that that they're gonna lose.
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: And Katie Emmons was the coach, and you know, she's
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: got little ones right now. She stepped down, she's gonna
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: you know, probably coach her her kids and do different
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: things like that.
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: And and Hally Saint.
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: Marie comes in and there's it's, yeah, you lose some seniors,
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: but there's there's some there's some definite athletes coming back.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, Tyler three in the top thirty,
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: three out of the top fifty. And then as I
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: look down this list, I mean, the one thing that
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: I kind of notice here, Tyler too is just one
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: senior on the roster.
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, not crazy, it's it's a very young it's a
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: very young team this year. I took pictures of thirteen players,
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: and so I don't know if they're gonna kind of
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: if they have some swing players that are going to
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: go back and forth.
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: Usually you kind of settle on.
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: You know, about nine or so that play regularly, and
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: you want to have a bench that you have a
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: few more after that. So, but we could tell for
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: sure the one ones that some of them that will
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: be starting. Grace de Hoague, who at six foot one,
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: very very powerful player as an outside hitter. I mean
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: she she she's got a lot of potential, good basketball player,
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: plays fast pitch as well. Elizabeth DeLange is another player
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: with if I don't want to say unlimited potential, but
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: you start looking at a six foot two sophomore that
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: plays in the middle and is very fluid with their
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: offensive game. There's no uh, there's no uh like you know,
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: sometimes you see a young athlete that grows really fast
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: and they're kind of uncoordinated with certain things. She's very
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: very coordinated, very fluid with with her with her kills,
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: striking the ball looks effortless. Uh, she can jump, she's
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: already pretty tall and uh so, yeah, so there's a
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: lot of, you know, really good things to look out
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: up front, because losing Kimball and Hoho come up front
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: and you can replace with the Hogan Delang, who were
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: both really good players last year but now have just
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: gotten that year better and more more experienced. And then
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: returning your setter Peyton Bartle was amazing last year as
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: a setter, and it just she can make that offense
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: go uh with her abilities there and she's just very very.
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: Good at that.
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's just what I saw at the state
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: tournament from her was really really impressive. And uh so
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: returning all three of them is going to be huge.
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: You also have, you know, some young players that got
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: a little bit of time last year. Annie Stremler five eleven,
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: outside hitter Carson Olney five to two, Libero sophomore Gracie
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: Ruckers played a little bit five eleven, so every Jurgen's played.
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: A little bit.
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: So you got a lot of these players that are
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: coming in that had that got some time on the court.
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: But they're gonna their minutes are gonna go way up.
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: And uh and again with with kind of the even
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: though it is a young team, like you said, just
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: just the one senior in Kennedy Burke, there's there's a
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: lot of still there's still some pretty good experience on
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: the team that they can draw from and and Jill
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: pretty quickly hopefully with the new head coach Tyler.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: You said their minutes are gonna go up, but there's
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: no clock on volleyball, so is that like no minutes?
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: But it makes me wonder like is it plays? Is
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: it sets go up? Like what is the term there?
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: I don't know if there is a term time, but
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: it is serve like like there are like a certain
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: amount of sub you can do.
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: In a set. Really, I had no idea.
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure because you know how the libero has
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: a different colored shirt, so that player can be subbed.
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: Like an unlimited amount.
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: I think there's some sort of thing where that player
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: can be subbed and they don't have to count it
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: as a sub because then that's why they have the
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: different color shirt. So so the person who's doing the
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: scorebook can be like, Okay, we're good with that one.
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: But there's a way you do it because there's certain
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: players that are really good servers and you want to
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: get them in when it's time for that spot on
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: the court is ready to serve, and you every team
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: will have that, like that dynamic of how they're going
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: to do things and with the rotation, because you got
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: to rotate and serve like we all did it in
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: Pe where everyone moves and then you then you serve.
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: But there are players that struggle with serving and then
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: when it's their turn, they get subbed out for a
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: player that's that's really really good at serving.
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: I remember Lucy White at Lindon a few years ago,
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: who she would come in and then she'd had like
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: she'd off like five ases in a row, you know,
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: and it was just like holy cow, and that was
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: kind of her thing, and then she'd come out and
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: then she'd come back in serve. And so there's a
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: lot of strategy involved with that, and it's it's pretty
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: fascinating to see. And I learned a lot about it
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: last year and there's still a lot for me to learn.
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: There could be a there could be dozens of people
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: listening to this right now that are like, Tyler, you
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: don't know what you're talking about.
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, I'm sure that.
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: Let me let me inform you when I when I
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: see you, and please, I want to know. I want
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: to learn, so I do know what I'm talking about.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, email Tyler and let him know what he's doing wrong.
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: It's a coach lap at Mount Baker School District.
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: Uh, I'm just kidding.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm sure there are people at home right
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: now pulling their hair out, you know what I mean. Going,
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: these guys are idiots. They don't know what they're talking about.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: And you know what, You're right, Yeah, we are idiots
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: and we don't know what we're talking about. I mean,
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: Tyler knows what he's talking about way more than I do.
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: This volleyball's fun to watch, like, oh, it's it's an
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: It's one of those sports that I think it's one
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: of the sports you gotta watch in person, though, you
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like you're watching a new person
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: and the intensity and the way the ball is just
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: flying all over the place, and especially when you get
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: those girls that do the running jump serve you know, yeah,
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: and especially if they just absolutely destroy the ball. And
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: just I remember sitting one time. I used to go
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: to watch you dub volleyball every now and then because
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: it was like four dollars to get in, and it
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: was just I mean, talk about value for your buck.
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's a good one right there. But they
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: had this one girl and she would toss the ball
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: like up into the rafters and then she would jump
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: up and she would just absolutely destroy the ball. And
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: it used to just knuckle all over the place. We
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: would see the end and I just remember, I remember
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: the first time I saw it. Look at my buddy
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: and I go, how the heck are you supposed to
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: return that?
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: Like what? You like?
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: I don't I mean think about trying to hit a
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: Tim Wakefield knuckleball. Yeah, now, let's try to hit a
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: volleyball coming right at your dome and it's maybe even
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: gonna go around your dome, you know, Like I don't know,
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: it's just crazy, but volleyball is a great sport, Tyler.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: We need to talk about the Seahome Mariners, and yeah,
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is a team that's got some serious
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: talent coming back. But head coach Clayton sin fifteen to
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: five last year for the Mariners twelve and three in
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: the Northwest Conference play one of those teams that I mean,
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: you look at it last year, they if they would
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: have been able to get into the state tournament, they
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: might have been able to make a little bit of
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: a run there. You just never know. But they only
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: lose two top fifty players to graduation, but one of
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: them is a top ten player.
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, and you're absolutely right about them.
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's one of the best teams I've ever
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: seen to not reach a state tournament in any sport.
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: They were so good.
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: But they had Lennon and Burlington ahead of them and
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: that was all they took. And it was just kind
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: of like Holy cow, because this Coom team was loaded
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: and they they like you said, they only graduate too.
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: But you're right, Molly Burfend one of the best defensive
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: players I saw last year. I mean, you know, you
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: kind of pressure me into it. I would say maybe
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: the best defensive player I saw last year. She was
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: just so dynamic back there, and that at such a value,
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: you know, a valuable position that you don't think about.
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: You're not racking up the huge numbers and stuff like that,
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: but man, if you can keep if you can keep
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: a volley alive and set up your offense just from
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: you somehow digging a ball that ninety of other players
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: would not be able to get to and then set
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: up the attack for your big time players up at
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: the net. That's so valuable because and that's you know
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: why they went fifteen and five they had that and
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: Ava len as well, who was one of those players
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: that was up the net that was that was getting
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: that aoff from Molly's defense. Uh, that's to lose those
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: two players is really tough. But they've returned six the
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: players that made that the top fifty list, which is incredible.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, nobody returns more in the county as
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: far as the top fifty goes. And I believe you
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: said the highest returning player on this list is and
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: hopefully we're getting it right this year Tyler Hayden Nevadomski. Yes, yeah, yeah,
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: she is. We say it so if we slew it up,
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: it's on us at this point.
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: Yes, I asked three times on how to say the name,
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: and I kept forgetting and.
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: At some point, it's just gonna become one of these.
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: It's it's Tyler.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: It's gonna become one of those like I'm just gonna
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: put it in there, and anytime we need to say it,
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: you're just gonna say Hayden.
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: And I'm gonna go bam in a way we get yeah.
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, and she was a player I didn't know
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: anything about last year. She was a sophomore. Last year.
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: I think the first volleyball match I went to was
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: out at London or out at Seam, and I think
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: it was Linden, which is just crazy. That's a huge match.
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: And I went out there and I was like, who's
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: that sophomore? She could fly like she's amazing, and I
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: so I just every time I would watch Sealm, I
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: would just she was. She just literally jumped off the page.
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, she jumped off the course, she flew around.
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: She's a little taller. This year she did great and
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: high jump and track and so I'm really excited to
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: see her development. She's, you know, like you said, out
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: of all the players that are returning from the Top
• 54:06
  Speaker 4: fifty list. She was the highest ranked player last year,
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: so she could be eyeing that number one spot. And
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: it's not just her, I mean a lot of really
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: good teammates returned. Emmy Lee, who's a unique setter at
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: five foot ten, usually don't get centers that tall. I
• 54:22
  Speaker 4: know Ella Fritz's five foot ten, But what she can
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: do is she'll be up in the team lead or
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: near the team lead in blocks as well, and that's
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: a really unique skill set to have because of her
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: height and her ability at the net, she can set
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: her teammates up and then she can help on the
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: defensive side that way, which is just a huge bonus
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: Emmy Lee.
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: And she's a great server as well.
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: She's usually up in the aces per set, so there's
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: a lot of great aspects to her.
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: Game, which is just phenomenal.
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: Maddy Barons is a six foot senior that can play
• 54:52
  Speaker 4: up in the middle, kind of teamed with Leah Lockwood,
• 54:55
  Speaker 4: another player in the middle five foot ten. I mean,
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: they had so many plays that could come in and
• 55:00
  Speaker 4: do things, and they had like little bits of injuries
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: here and there throughout the year, so you had to
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: use more players, and players got better because of it.
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: And I mean that's you know, kind of why they
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: had eight players named on the list last year and
• 55:15
  Speaker 4: six of them are returning. McKenna Andrews was a great
• 55:18
  Speaker 4: defensive player. She's gonna kind of take over that spot
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: where Molly berffiend was as the libero.
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: I think that she can definitely take take care of
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: the job. She was a defensive specialist last year.
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: She's gonna put the different jersey on and be the libero,
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: I think, and she's you know, it's and I think
• 55:34
  Speaker 4: she will not miss a beat. A great, great defensive
• 55:36
  Speaker 4: player on your winner as another tall player at five
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: foot ten, just a junior as a pin.
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: They all return and there's some good players behind them.
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: Page Florey was a player that if she was on
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: a lot of other teams, she would probably got more
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: playing time. But I saw what she did.
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: You know, I've seen a lot of light club volleyball
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: stuff that she's done because she didn't get a lot
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: of playing time with Sea Home. But I knew the
• 56:01
  Speaker 4: name and I wanted to see what she could do.
• 56:02
  Speaker 4: And she's she's got great leaping ability. She's a great
• 56:05
  Speaker 4: server as well, so she's kind of that next, you know,
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: big time offensive player coming coming up as an outside hitter,
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: and you know, it's just a really well coached team
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: and and it's a team that you know, like like
• 56:19
  Speaker 4: you kind of said, like returns the most players that
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: were on the top fifty list last year, and they
• 56:25
  Speaker 4: have a chip on their shoulder. You know they have
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: something to prove because they were just eked out of
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: the state playoffs last year. And you know, now with
• 56:35
  Speaker 4: you know, I get it, Arlington returns everybody. But you
• 56:38
  Speaker 4: know there's spots to be had, and I know that
• 56:42
  Speaker 4: they're going to be one of those teams gunning for
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: one of those top spots.
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: Now, Tyler, before we move on to squal Com, I
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: want to talk to the haters out there that are like, hey,
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: how do these guys not know how to pronounce names?
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: M I E W I A D O M S
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: K I I mean, come on, come on, help me
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: out here, huh Nevadomsky, Tyler.
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: Say it for me, Nevadomski. All right, We're not screwing
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: it up again.
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: Never until the next time we talk about Hayden Nevyadomsky, Tyler,
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: let's talks. Welcome Storm the last team here on the
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: on the preview Kensey Morris three and fifteen last year,
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: two and thirteen in Northwest Conference play. Top fifty players
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: lost a graduation just one and that is number twenty
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: nine on the countdown. That was Olivia Swayin. Tyler, tell
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: me about Olivia and what they lose there.
• 57:37
  Speaker 4: Well, she was a six foot tall middle blocker that
• 57:40
  Speaker 4: was a big time threat. Defensively, you couldn't really do
• 57:43
  Speaker 4: much in the middle of the court there. You had
• 57:45
  Speaker 4: to really attack the angles and the sides because she
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: was a big time just one of the best defenders
• 57:52
  Speaker 4: up front in the county.
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: Last year.
• 57:54
  Speaker 4: She missed a little bit of time last year. This
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: was another team that battled injuries. See Rosselli was their
• 58:01
  Speaker 4: setter and she had an injury early in the year
• 58:05
  Speaker 4: and she was gone for the rest of the year.
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: She would have definitely made the top fifty list. You know,
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: they had Sophie Ferriss was a really good senior, Chloe
• 58:13
  Speaker 4: Wynn was a really good senior. They had some players,
• 58:16
  Speaker 4: but they had to kind of mishmash around because of
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: injuries in different circumstances, and it was a rough year
• 58:23
  Speaker 4: for them and I think that the one thing that
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: they're going to gain, much like Bellingham kind of had
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: to do, was because of injuries, like Lyndon Christian had
• 58:32
  Speaker 4: to do, you.
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: Were forced to play other players, maybe earlier than you
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: would have wanted to.
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: And now hopefully you're going to get those rewards coming out.
• 58:44
  Speaker 4: So they do return a lot of experience, just not
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: a ton of height.
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and when you talk the players they are returning,
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: there is two players from the top fifty, including one
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: I recognize the name, Joelee Pas. I know that name
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: right off the bat. A couple of reasons. One do
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: she have an older brother who played football? I believe so. Yeah,
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: I was saying I think he ended up going to
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: Central or something. I can't remember exactly, but I do
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: recognize Jolie pas Tyler. Are there other sports that she plays?
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: Is that how I know her?
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 59:13
  Speaker 4: In track and field we were talking about her. How
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: how unique was it that someone's going to State in
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: like the hurdles and the shot put or right thing.
• 59:23
  Speaker 4: I do remember because she's just one of those athletes
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: that are you're just kind of mystified by how she does.
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: What she does.
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like being a center and a safety in football, Like, yeah,
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: it's just.
• 59:34
  Speaker 4: It does not make sense. No, it is unbelievable. I
• 59:37
  Speaker 4: do remember watching Finn O'Malley for the football team at
• 59:40
  Speaker 4: Bellingham that would play left tackle and he'd plays strong safety.
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: That sounds like something that would have happened at Bellingham
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: about that time.
• 59:48
  Speaker 4: I mean it was it was crazy, but he had
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: that ability to do that, and it was just like
• 59:53
  Speaker 4: they needed that guy, and he was that guy.
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: Exactly what she is. She's just a good all around athlete.
• 59:59
  Speaker 4: Yes, and it's it's crazy because at five foot five
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: as an outside hitter, that's again you don't see that
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 4: very often, but she can jump out of the gym
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 4: and and very very explosive and powerful and a lot
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 4: of fun to see.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: You know. It reminds me a lot of Chase Flick Williams,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: who I think.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 4: Was only five six maybe five seven, but holy cow,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 4: you know, she was a state long jump champion.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: She was.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 4: She was super athletic and when I when you'd watch her,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 4: she would put on a show during warm ups. I
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 4: mean you hear the ooz and oz and Jolie Paz
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 4: is getting to that point where she's going to be
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 4: like that. I mean if she was, if she was
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 4: five to nine, she colleges would be going crazy right
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 4: now over her just because of her athletic ability. But
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 4: still at five five, very very good and can get
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 4: the job done. Gwen gwen Foy is another junior like
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 4: just like Jolie Paz, who was kind of one of
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 4: the players that was sort of forced to She missed
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 4: the beginning of the year I think a little bit,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 4: and she was able to come in and do a
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 4: lot of things. She was, you know, she was the
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 4: libero when when she did come in and was really
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 4: dynamic defensively only five foot one, so she can She's
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 4: really good at, you know, digging things out. She stays
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: low to the ground and does a great, great job
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 4: and earned that spot in the in the top fifty
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 4: because of it. There's other players that were kind of
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 4: forced into spots. I remember Jasmine Barsola was the backup
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 4: setter last year, but when Lexi went down, she was
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 4: forced into action right away, and it was kind of like,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 4: you know, you know, trial by fire t type of
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 4: thing where you're going in and you're gonna, you know,
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 4: see what you can do.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: And but I think this year because of.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 4: Last year, She's gonna have that experience and it's going
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 4: to really help her. You know, there's other players that
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 4: I saw to play other sports, Tianna Thompson.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: Carl Keisou. These were really really good.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 4: Basketball players as freshman last year on the basketball team,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 4: on the varsity basket team that I'm really curious how
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 4: their athleticism with basketball is going to transfer as sophomores.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 4: They're both five foot eight. Uh, They're both gonna be
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 4: up in the middle, which is you know, again we
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 4: talked about that, like with Amilee McKeon and Berndale a
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 4: five foot eight middle if you're gonna if you know,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 4: that's kind of short to be up in the middle,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 4: But they are both very athletic and we'll see what.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: They can do at that at that spot. I see
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: I see.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 4: Another Roselli coming up as a setter, Alyssa And I
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 4: remember seeing Archer Burns play last year. She's the tallest
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 4: player on the team this year. So there's there are
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 4: some players there that are gonna be kind of thrown
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 4: in there. But you know, Jolie Pass, Gwen Foyd, those
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 4: are very very good players to build around and and
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 4: Kensey Morris is gonna have some fun here with this team.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 4: And and by the time you're hearing this, they've already
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 4: played a game. Uh they're playing They played Archbishop Murphy
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 4: on Wednesday night, so uh, they'll get a they will
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 4: have had and an interesting experience right out of the gate.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 4: I remember when I went to practice. I was like,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 4: you guys got a game coming right up, and they
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 4: were jacked for it. They were really excited. Uh and
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 4: so yeah, so the volleyball season starts early for them,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 4: or started early for them as we say. We're recording
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 4: this on Tuesday, of course, so it's kind of hard
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 4: to get the old uh get the old noodle going here.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and uh, you know they are one and oh
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: or zero and one either way, though, Tyler, they have
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: played one game already.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, but we don't know. We don't know what
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: that answers.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: I'll have to hop into my uh into my time
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 4: machine and figure it.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: Out heregawatts, Yeah, Tyler, is that it?
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: Are we done? I think so?
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 4: I think uh, I think we kind of hit them
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 4: all and again, I'm excited to go to State. We'll
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 4: see what Walkin County can do to get some teams there,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 4: and after a year of watching, I kind of know
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: a little bit more what to expect and uh it.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 4: But volleyball pictures are by far the hardest pictures for
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 4: me to do because of that darn net. It's hard
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 4: to sit right at the net because with my lens
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 4: I'm a little too close. There are some gyms where
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 4: you can kind of go up top, like at Linden,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 4: Christian Squalicum. There's some places like Ferndale. You can go
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 4: up a little higher Linden and it's a little easier.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 4: It's it's a little tricky, but it's a lot of fun.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 4: And like you said, the atmosphere being there live. If
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 4: you got a good back and forth going, you could
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 4: feel the tension keep growing and growing, like every five seconds,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden when a point's made.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, it can get piercing loud. It's crazy.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 3: And when I saw.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 4: Lyndon Burlington play at at Lindon, I mean there was
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 4: a ton of people there.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: That place was completely packed.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 4: I remember sitting on the ground next to next to
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 4: Nate from the Linden Tribune and Michael Kanan sitting there
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 4: taking pictures with like his forty thousand dollars camera. And
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 4: I mean it was just it was crazy and I
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: was talking to Ed Bomber and and it.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 3: Was everybody was there. It was so cool.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 4: And that you know, the fans get into it, and
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 4: it's it's it's a lot of fun. There's some really
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 4: good teams up here, and there's great there's really good
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 4: teams that are you know down south. You know, Burlington
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 4: was awesome last year and and they're gonna be really
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 4: good again. And so there's some good programs down there
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 4: and and yeah, it'll be fun to experience it again
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 4: and go to a ton of games and and just
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 4: and live these moments.
• 1:05:29
