  This is Bellingham senior Josh Coleen. You're listening to the WALKAM Preps podcast with
• 0:04
  Tyler and Rylan Go BayHawks. Greetings and welcome into the watcom Preps podcast.
• 0:24
  This is episode one ninety nine, a preview of week six. I'm Ryan
• 0:30
  Spencer, along with me as always is Tyler Anderson of watchum Preps. Tyler,
• 0:34
  how are we doing doing all right? Obviously I'm making a few airs
• 0:38
  on the sheet there, but other than that, not too bad. It
• 0:44
  is crazy. You and I talked a little bit off the air about how
• 0:47
  fast this season is going and how fast it's especially going for the both of
• 0:53
  us for different reasons, but how you know much we're enjoying it at the
• 0:57
  same time. So things are going pretty well. Yeah, And just to
• 1:00
  kind of give people an idea, you would ask me. You said,
• 1:03
  you know, like, now that you're doing coaching or whatever, like,
• 1:04
  is it going faster? And I was like, yeah, a lot faster.
• 1:07
  But I'm also having way more fun than I've ever had, you know.
• 1:11
  I mean, it's don't get me wrong, I loved going to fifty
• 1:15
  sixty high school football games a year and it was so much fun. But
• 1:19
  man, was it tiring, you know, and it was it just by
• 1:23
  this point in the season, I would just be beaten down and just I
• 1:26
  mean almost wanting the season to be over with. And I would have still
• 1:30
  had, you know what, eight weeks to go, you know, And
• 1:34
  so you know, it's kind of that you on the other hand, you
• 1:36
  know, not working you know, at the chocolate factory anymore. And now
• 1:41
  wat come preps is a full time thing for you. Where you are,
• 1:45
  I mean, you're in it. Man. I saw a picture the other
• 1:47
  day you were watching four volleyball games at once or something. I don't know
• 1:49
  what the heck you were doing. Yeah, that was last night. That
• 1:52
  was the first time since the fall season has started that I wasn't out watching
• 1:59
  an event that I could could have been. Yeah, if that, if
• 2:00
  that makes any sense, like a week a week night volleyball or a Friday
• 2:06
  night, you know, football, Saturday football, and and I just I'm
• 2:08
  just I'm exhausted. And but they were all on NFA, just networks.
• 2:13
  I put them all four on and it was it was a lot of fun
• 2:15
  to sit back and watch all them at one time. Because there's enough breaks
• 2:19
  in the action too, you can kind of go to the next thing really
• 2:22
  quickly, or you could go just watch the one that's like twenty three to
• 2:24
  twenty one. You know, it's like, ooh, this one's getting good.
• 2:28
  So it was a lot of fun. You did like your own red
• 2:30
  zone pretty much. Yeah. Yeah. And what was cool was one of
• 2:34
  them, the Linden Oak Harbor game, had an announcer. Oh really was.
• 2:38
  He was amazing? Like he did I obviously he does Oak Harbor volleyball,
• 2:44
  but like he was on the Linden names and because the ball moves fast,
• 2:47
  you know, and it's like you know, vander Yacht with a dig
• 2:51
  over the rice and you know, actually Shoemate with the kill and it was
• 2:54
  just like, man, he like he's really good. I wonder if is
• 2:59
  it the guy that does football. I have no idea. I wonder if
• 3:01
  it's my guy JJ up there. Yeah he was. He was very very
• 3:07
  good. Yeah, I mean it could be JJ's he's pretty good at that
• 3:08
  stuff. But uh yeah, before we go too far, we need to
• 3:13
  give a thank you to Josh Toll good old muscle Beach over there for the
• 3:16
  for the intro. That young man single handedly almost gave me a win last
• 3:22
  week. This week we'll find out who it is. It's gonna give me
• 3:25
  the win when we get there later. We also need to say thank you
• 3:30
  to Kurt Mayberry Farm kurtmaberry Farm dot com, fourth generation family owned and operated
• 3:34
  a berry farm committed to growing the highest quality berries. Some strawberries, some
• 3:38
  blueberries, some raspberries. I had some strawberries and I had at dinner,
• 3:43
  Tyler, ooh nice it was. It was lineman dinner, so all of
• 3:47
  the linemen get together and we had dinner, and a parent every week makes
• 3:53
  it. It's on Tuesdays. And I looked over and there were some watermelons
• 3:57
  and some strawberries. I was like, I don't know what's going on over
• 3:59
  there, but I'm headed over that way to eat a couple and I did.
• 4:01
  I'm pretty sure they were supposed to be out for us, but they
• 4:04
  were out for me. I know that much because I ate some that being
• 4:09
  said, Tyler, we've got what do we got here? One? Two,
• 4:12
  three, four, five, six seven? Eight games? Eight games
• 4:15
  this weekend. Eight games this weekend covering three days. And there's actually only
• 4:20
  five games on Friday because there's one on Thursday and two on Saturday. So
• 4:25
  we have a lot to talk about. Let's get started with the Thursday game.
• 4:29
  Squalicum. They are three and two overall, one and two in Northwest
• 4:32
  Conference play. They're headed down to Lakewood High School in I think it's technically
• 4:39
  Arlington, but that area is called Smoky Point, right, Yeah, Arlington
• 4:43
  is usually what I put for the yes text in the story, and I
• 4:46
  think, is it don't they normally say like North Lakewood or Lakewood North or
• 4:49
  I can't remember, but yeah, and actually it's I mean, I guess
• 4:55
  technically it is Arlington, but it is right on the freeway. I mean
• 4:59
  it's like right, well not right on it, but uh but yeah,
• 5:01
  Lakewood. They are one and three overall and oh and two in conference play.
• 5:04
  That's a seven pm game on Thursday and night I may roll out there,
• 5:08
  Tyler. I haven't decided yet. We'll see what time I get out
• 5:12
  of out of practice on Thursday. That'll kind of determine some things. But
• 5:16
  uh, yeah, I mean squalcumb and Lakewood. I feel like they have
• 5:19
  have they played a couple of good games in recent history. Yeah, there's
• 5:24
  been Well, there was that one when I think it was a few years
• 5:29
  ago when SQUALKMB was just loaded. You know, they had all that talent.
• 5:31
  They got to the Semis and lake would beat them in that game at
• 5:35
  Civic and that was when schleim Baker was injured. One of those It was
• 5:42
  a crazy game where they started the year I think oh and two in conference
• 5:46
  they lost to lynd and they lost to Lakewood and then they had to kind
• 5:48
  of win out just to get into the playoffs, and then they did and
• 5:50
  they made it all the way to the Semis. That was a really really
• 5:54
  close game. Yeah, there's been some there's been some pretty good games in
• 5:58
  the past between these two. And and you know, I don't know,
• 6:02
  I don't know much about Lakewood recently. I haven't seen them yet this year
• 6:08
  at all. You know, I've seen Burlington, you know, I've seen
• 6:11
  Sie Drow, I've seen some of these teams. I haven't seen Lakewood at
• 6:15
  all. So this will be my first time seeing them on film. And
• 6:17
  and so yeah, it's gonna be, it's gonna be. It's gonna be
• 6:23
  a really good one. You know. Squallykum Is we talked about it in
• 6:27
  the last podcast, where they kind of have their core guys that they get
• 6:31
  the ball to and they try to find ways to get them all to them
• 6:33
  differently, and and you know, defensively. I really love their edge rushers.
• 6:38
  It seems like I've been saying that since we've been doing the podcast about
• 6:41
  Squalkum. They just have always had these really talented edge guys and uh,
• 6:46
  you know, and they just get after. I love their coaching staff,
• 6:50
  you know, there's so many good things I really like about them, but
• 6:53
  they just they don't have that overall overall eleven on the field, super talented
• 6:58
  guys like they've kind of had in the past. Uh, it's a lot
• 7:00
  of new varsity guys that are still learning stuff like that. They have a
• 7:04
  freshman playing corner named Hunter Hunter Callaway who's really, really, really good,
• 7:10
  but he's just a freshman. But he's thrown in there. I mean,
• 7:13
  he's varsity man. He's starting at corner. And uh so they're they're you
• 7:17
  know, they're they're they're really young. But you know, even last week
• 7:21
  up in the booth, you know, they I was talking to some of
• 7:25
  the assistants and they they came out with the win against Burlington and they just
• 7:28
  kind of said, we'll take them when we can get them. You know.
• 7:30
  It's just they just kind of know what they have and and if they
• 7:34
  can just keep improving throughout the year, it's it's you know again, coach
• 7:39
  Lis is gonna come up with another you know, plus five hundred record like
• 7:43
  he always does, So this will be this will be a good, a
• 7:46
  good, a good matchup. And those Thursday games are always kind of weird
• 7:48
  too, you know, they're just kind of something that got to go to
• 7:51
  school the next day. So yeah, those can always have it a weird
• 7:55
  outcome, Yeah, they can. I mean those Thursdays it's you know,
• 7:59
  sometimes it can be a little tough to focus, you know, yeah,
• 8:01
  because it's everything, even though it's still a seven pm game, and you
• 8:05
  know, I'm sure that the bus leaves at the same time on Thursday as
• 8:09
  at what on Friday. You know, there's but for whatever reason, sometimes
• 8:11
  those Thursday games it's a little, yeah, a little tougher maybe to get
• 8:16
  going at times. And you know, you're on technically a short week,
• 8:18
  although squal comes on a full week because they played Thursday last week, right,
• 8:24
  So yeah, I don't know, it's gonna be interesting. Squalcum.
• 8:26
  They are headed down to Lakewood to take on the Cougars at seven pm on
• 8:30
  Thursday Friday night. Five games, three within the county, two outside of
• 8:33
  the county. We'll start with a game here in Wakham County at Civic Stadium,
• 8:39
  seven pm. Coop Bill one and four coming to town to take on
• 8:43
  the two and three Bellingham BayHawks. The Bellingham BayHawks two game winning streak,
• 8:48
  correct, Tyler, Yes, that is correct. Yeah, I mean they're
• 8:50
  hotter and a pistol right now. And actually their offense is that's for damn
• 8:56
  sure because they are putting up numbers Coop Bill, though, Tyler, is
• 8:58
  there a lot of history with Coopville within the county. I mean, you
• 9:03
  know they're they're a lower level I remember them playing Meridian in like a crossover
• 9:07
  game at one point, I don't know, probably a decade ago. Look
• 9:11
  at that. That's like me. No, Tyler's got some nuggets, man,
• 9:13
  Yeah, so does Rylan on occasions. But yeah, Coopville, Bellingham,
• 9:20
  Tyler, Yeah, they do have a little bit of history. Fun
• 9:24
  fact, my first ever extra point that I made was at Coupville. Nice
• 9:30
  and Mickey clark Field, I think is what it's called. Yeah, and
• 9:35
  uh, I'll never forget that because and I've told this story on the podcast
• 9:39
  before, but it is worth retelling. It was the first game because so
• 9:41
  I wear glasses, I have horrible vision and and I could never see if
• 9:46
  I even made it or not. And so I went and got respects made.
• 9:52
  And those goggles, you know, say that's like Kurt Rambus or something
• 9:54
  or well, they're more like like what Chrisabo wore. Okay. And the
• 10:01
  reason I bring up Chriss because my brother wore him, and he played baseball
• 10:05
  and he used to call him his sabos no, but he would say things
• 10:11
  like like, hey, Mom, where's my sabos at? You know,
• 10:15
  That's what we called them in the house. And and and I think my
• 10:18
  mom actually thought they were called sabos. And when we went to Lens Crafters
• 10:22
  and she wanted to order some sabos for me, you know, and they
• 10:26
  were like what And she's like, you know, the sports goggles anyways,
• 10:30
  they were called Rexpecs. And I was so excited to wear them. And
• 10:33
  I remember being out there and kicking, you know, during the pregame and
• 10:37
  it felt really good. And and coach Lep comes up to me and the
• 10:41
  first time he saw them on me, and he goes, he's like,
• 10:45
  what's up, Eric Dickerson, this is so funny, and uh, and
• 10:50
  I was, I was just I was so like excited because I could see
• 10:54
  everything, like I could just never see anything. And and we and and
• 11:00
  then you know, we go captains go out for coin toss and we defer.
• 11:03
  So we're kicking off and you could see the coin toss. What's that?
• 11:09
  I said? And you could see the coin toss and yeah, I
• 11:11
  could see things everything, yeah, yeah, and so and then we take
• 11:15
  our helmet off for the national anthem. We take our helmet off and we
• 11:18
  do the national anthem, and then I can't put my helmet like I put
• 11:22
  my rexpecs on, but I couldn't get my helmet to go over. It
• 11:24
  kept pushing my rexpecs down to like my mouth, and so I couldn't get
• 11:28
  it to like go back up. And we got to kick off. I
• 11:31
  got to get out there, and so it was just like, oh,
• 11:35
  screw it. So I just grabbed him and I threw them to a buddy
• 11:37
  of mine that was injured. And I never got to wear them in the
• 11:41
  game. I just and I never even worem and I just wore them playing
• 11:43
  baseball. So anyways, that's my Coopville story. But you know, we
• 11:48
  played them. I remember Nuksak playing them in the nineties. These were all
• 11:50
  non conference games. Yeah, you're right about Meridian playing them in a crossover,
• 11:56
  but they kind of bounced between that two B and one A. I
• 12:00
  think. So it's so it hasn't been a lot of playoff stuff. You
• 12:05
  know. They they handled Bellingham last year. I remember watching that game live
• 12:11
  on the on the computer on the on probably on NFHS network, and and
• 12:16
  it was that was a struggle. I remember Bellingham went to like their third
• 12:18
  or fourth quarterback in that game. It just kind of got out of hand
• 12:22
  early. But this is a completely different Bellingham team. They are, they
• 12:26
  are The improvement from week one, you know to week six that we're in
• 12:31
  now has just been huge. And the offense has always kind of been there.
• 12:35
  They've been putting up points every week, and they've just been turning the
• 12:39
  ball over a little too much. And now the defense is really starting to
• 12:43
  hone in and and this is their homecoming game. I mean, this is
• 12:46
  this is gonna be a big one for coach Leonard and the BayHawks. Coopville
• 12:52
  one of four coming to town to take on Bellingham. Two and three seven
• 12:54
  pm Civic Stadium on Friday night, Lyndon four and one, three to zero
• 12:58
  in league play, they head down to Terry Ennis Stadium. You know what,
• 13:03
  I wonder what city that is. I think it's got to be Everett
• 13:05
  because I think the line is right there where they're the road in front of
• 13:11
  the school. So they're headed down though. Archbishop Murphy three and two,
• 13:15
  two and one in league play. That's a seven pm game, Tyler,
• 13:18
  Linden Archbishop Murphy. I mean, I think you and I were at the
• 13:22
  game last year, weren't we That was a few years ago? Was it
• 13:26
  two years ago? Yeah, it's been twenty twenty one. Yeah, but
• 13:31
  yeah, I mean these are Tyler, this Archbishop Murphy team. We thought
• 13:35
  they were just going to be I mean, I'll say it this way kind
• 13:37
  of do do. And they went and did their thing. I mean they
• 13:41
  did some damage the last couple of weeks or you know, against Squalicum especially,
• 13:46
  but you know, this is an interesting matchup now. But Linden,
• 13:52
  I mean they look like they're just ready to go again. Yeah, Lindon
• 13:56
  is there. You know they lost Week one. Obviously, they're undefeated in
• 13:58
  conference, which is which is huge. That's kind of what they do.
• 14:03
  I don't know how many conference championships they've won in a row now, I
• 14:05
  want to say it's like six or seven. It's something crazy like that.
• 14:09
  And you think about I mean you think about that, that conference, how
• 14:11
  it's loaded, so you kind of think, well, they might kind of
• 14:15
  share it here and there and no team here and a team there. It's
• 14:18
  pretty much been Linden and then like shocking for position behind them every year for
• 14:22
  the last six or seven years, definitely as long as we've been doing the
• 14:26
  podcast. So so this is you know, Linden just being Linden doing their
• 14:31
  thing going down there. Archibecial Murphy, like like you said, of late,
• 14:35
  has really been playing a lot better. You know, they lost earlier
• 14:39
  in the year against Lyndon Christian and then they had a great game against Squalkum.
• 14:43
  Those are the two games that I've seen, and they look like two
• 14:46
  completely different teams, I mean completely different doing the same stuff. You know,
• 14:50
  running the ball probably eighty percent of the time, you know, at
• 14:54
  all that was the same, but the efficiency was better, the blocking was
• 14:58
  better. The lineman were great in that Squalkum game. So, and that's
• 15:03
  more recent so that Linden definitely can't overlook the Wildcats in this game. And
• 15:09
  there's been a lot of history with these two as well, I mean,
• 15:13
  playing in huge playoff games. I think there was a state championship game involved
• 15:18
  between these two. I know they I know coach Cramy's last ever game that
• 15:22
  he coached was against Archbishop Murphy in the SEMIS. That was that loaded Archbishop
• 15:26
  team in twenty sixteen. And so yeah, so there is a lot of
• 15:31
  history between these two before they were in the conference and now they get to
• 15:35
  play each other every year. Was it Linden Archbishop Murphy where Linden purposely took
• 15:41
  the safety? You know the game I'm talking about. I know, I
• 15:46
  know exactly what you're talking about. I don't know for sure. I know
• 15:52
  Whitman's listening right now and he's like, guys, I'm gonna yes, that's
• 15:56
  the one, you know, but I I get they they've played. That's
• 16:02
  the thing. When they've played so many state championship games, I mean,
• 16:04
  that's how awesome they've been. It's hard to remember who all their opponents have
• 16:10
  been. But you know, I want to say it was like a red
• 16:12
  team, And I know they've had great games against like Prosser as well,
• 16:15
  so it's I get them all kind of mixed up. But I think you're
• 16:19
  right. I think you're right. I mean I could look it up.
• 16:22
  Yeah, and I'm sure I'm you know, vaping or vamping enough for you
• 16:27
  to yeah, figure it out. Lynden beats arch Linden, get it out,
• 16:33
  Ryland. Linden beats Archbishop Murphy with amazing finish seventeen sixteen, twenty eleven.
• 16:38
  Yeah, yep. Zach VISs of Linden beats Defender Hounds Vanderwald who he
• 16:44
  was a heck of a football player, with an eight yard touchdown reception.
• 16:48
  Is this the one? Yeah? Kurt Crmey faced two different two of the
• 16:51
  most difficult decisions of his twenty year football coaching career at Linden High School.
• 16:56
  It says, yeah. I mean I remember I remember watching that game and
• 17:00
  just thinking like, what in the world are they doing? And then all
• 17:03
  of a sudden you're like, actually, this is brilliant, like one of
• 17:07
  those things where you know, before they even did the onside kick or whatever
• 17:12
  it was, I just remember thinking to myself, actually, this could be
• 17:17
  the most brilliant thing we've ever seen, and it turned out to be pretty
• 17:22
  much the most brilliant thing we've ever seen. As a matter of fact,
• 17:25
  you know who the head coach was of Archbitcher Murphy that day. I do
• 17:29
  not Dave Ward seatro woollie. Oh wow, yeah, I didn't even think
• 17:33
  about that. Yeah. And actually it says here the defeat stung for Dave
• 17:37
  Ward, which Archbitcher Murphy, which lost this in the state championship game for
• 17:41
  the second consecutive year despite out gaining Linden in total yards two fifty seven to
• 17:47
  one eighty one. Wow, real offensive game. Yeah. Anyway, Tyler
• 17:52
  Lyndon four and one, headed down three and ohero in league play, headed
• 17:56
  down to take on archchitch m Murphy three and two, two and one in
• 17:57
  league play seven pm Friday night in this stadium. If you're headed down that
• 18:02
  way, go down a little early and take in some Brooklyn Brothers pizza.
• 18:06
  You will thank me later because the Bowery is unbelievable. Tyler, Yeah,
• 18:11
  that's good stuff. Yeah. Really, it was funny because I I,
• 18:15
  like, I knew there was a place he always plug yeah, and I
• 18:18
  was like, what is that place? And I was like, oh,
• 18:21
  here, we go, here we go, and he was like, Yep,
• 18:22
  that's the one. That's the one. Yeah, that's I'm salivating thinking
• 18:26
  about it. And I'm not even hungry, although I'm pretty much always hungry.
• 18:30
  I was gonna say, stop the presses here, now, you're not
• 18:32
  hungry. What's that exactly? Thanks Jim. Yeah, Meridian uh three and
• 18:41
  two OWN one league play. They are headed right past your house on the
• 18:45
  way to Blaine, Tyler, even though you know, not right next to
• 18:48
  your house anymore, but still kind of on the way. I mean,
• 18:51
  I would assume they're gonna go by. Maybe they can honk uh. They're
• 18:55
  they're there to take on Blaine one and four OWN one in the league play.
• 18:59
  That's seven pm at Blaine High School. Yeah, I mean this is
• 19:03
  I mean, let's just put it to you this way, Tyler. You
• 19:06
  can't go oh and two. You just can't do it. You can't do
• 19:07
  it in that league. You can't go oh and too. So somebody is
• 19:11
  gonna be in a lot of trouble after this week, and somebody's gonna get
• 19:17
  their first conference win and start feeling good about themselves again. So yeah,
• 19:22
  I mean, what do you see here? Yeah, it's you, You've
• 19:25
  nailed on the head. And you know, last year, I was at
• 19:26
  this game. I was there for the whole game. And this is how
• 19:30
  funny it was. I got there and a pregame, both head coaches came
• 19:33
  over to me and they go, what are you doing here? You know,
• 19:37
  like like, why aren't you at LC where they're hosting Nooksack Because at
• 19:41
  the time, I mean that was yeah, you know, and I said,
• 19:45
  I said, you know, I'm gonna be here for the first half.
• 19:48
  I'm gonna show my love and then you know, and then I'll take
• 19:52
  off at halftime and go to go to that one. Well, it was
• 19:55
  really close. I think it might even been tied at halftime. So I
• 19:57
  stayed for the whole game. And and and so they have they always play
• 20:04
  each other really well. And that's the thing is that you're right about going
• 20:08
  on too. Both these teams had you know, really tough games last week.
• 20:14
  Uh, And it's just it's all about that week of practice. And
• 20:17
  now you know more than anybody like being a coach and how important a good
• 20:22
  week of practice can go into a Friday night game. And and it's you
• 20:26
  know, and I say that a lot when I go out to these games
• 20:30
  and I see an assistant coach or something on the sideline or on the field
• 20:33
  like half hour before kickoff, and the first thing I say is, how
• 20:37
  was your week of practice? Yep? And you know, I just I'm
• 20:40
  always curious kind of like how they're going, how things are looking, and
• 20:45
  you know, and sometimes it's kind of like it's, uh, it's been
• 20:48
  good, and I know that's not good, you know, And that's gonna
• 20:52
  be a big, big part of this. Now I will say this too,
• 20:55
  and this is this is really tough news for the Border Rights. I
• 20:59
  ran into Riley today actually, and he got the results back and he is
• 21:03
  done for the season. So that's a huge blow for the Border Rights.
• 21:10
  And it's just, you know, it's it's tough. The good thing though,
• 21:14
  is that the most depth they have is probably in those positions like that
• 21:18
  slot receiver safety. But replacing a guy like that is really really tough.
• 21:23
  It's really too bad because a senior, you know, it's it kind of
• 21:26
  reminds me of like Dane Gatterman last year. You know, a guy that's
• 21:30
  an amazing player on a great team and his senior year and it just gets
• 21:36
  cut short. It's really really too bad. And and had you know,
• 21:38
  Bobb a five to six minute talk with him today and he just feels bummed.
• 21:42
  You know. Well, so you know what else Tyler, the like
• 21:47
  the change up in offense when he came in at quarterback, you know,
• 21:51
  and this isn't taken anything away from is it Colin Davis? Yeah, not
• 21:55
  taking anything away from him, but the change of pace when he got in
• 22:00
  it was, you know, all of a sudden, here you go,
• 22:03
  Now that type of offense is probably not going to be sustainable the whole time.
• 22:07
  Sure, which then you go back to Davis and things go a little
• 22:11
  bit different, you know, but to keep teams off balance with him at
• 22:14
  quarterback two, I mean, man, I mean that is that it's such
• 22:18
  a huge loss in so many different ways, you know. And and here's
• 22:22
  the thing, you know, we lost, we lost one of our best
• 22:25
  players and a captain. He's done for the year also, And the one
• 22:30
  thing I'll give this young man credit. He's been out at every practice and
• 22:33
  he's been out there still leading the team. You know, he's not just
• 22:37
  sitting there doing nothing or playing video games at home and then showing up on
• 22:41
  game night. No, I mean he's still out there trying to help out
• 22:47
  in any way that he can. I mean, he's got a torn ACL
• 22:48
  and MCL, so I mean he's you know, I hate to say it
• 22:52
  this way, but you know, there's not a whole lot that guy can
• 22:55
  do. Let's just put it to you that way, right, But he's
• 22:57
  out there, he's trying to be encouraging to his teammate, you know.
• 23:00
  So I'm sure Riley Eyed is one of those players it's going to do the
• 23:03
  same thing, you know. And I'm sure he's one of those those kids
• 23:07
  that's you know, going to do his best to try to help out the
• 23:10
  team in any way that he can. While also you know, unfortunately he's
• 23:15
  now reserved to wear in a jersey and no pat you know, it's kind
• 23:18
  of the way to put it, but yeah, big knee brace and yeah,
• 23:22
  you know it's too bad, you know. But that reminds me of
• 23:25
  Gatterman from last year to arm and a slang walking out there for with the
• 23:29
  captains being there at practice, coaching up his alignment, you know, on
• 23:34
  the sidelines during games. I mean, it was really cool to see and
• 23:38
  so that is cool to hear about that with with the Babel Cougars as well,
• 23:42
  because it's that's that goes such a long way that you know, people
• 23:47
  might be hearing that and go, well, who cares, Well, No,
• 23:48
  it goes a big, big way if you're knocked out and you show
• 23:52
  that you still invested absolutely, And I mean look like with us, you
• 23:57
  know, the kid was voted by his teammates to be a captain. You
• 24:00
  know, and I don't know how it works. And you know at Linden
• 24:03
  or you know, a Blaine, but you know, more often than not,
• 24:07
  there's a reason why they are a captain. It's not just you know,
• 24:11
  throw it on the wall and see what it sticks. Now, that's
• 24:12
  not how it works. They are emotional leaders. They are you know physically
• 24:18
  they do it all. You know, a lot of these guys, and
• 24:19
  so to have something like that, you know, that's you know, there's
• 24:23
  a lot of value to something like that. So you know it's unfortunate,
• 24:27
  but you know, try to make the best out of the situation that you
• 24:30
  have. And you know, let's see if we can get that out of
• 24:33
  Riley. Id Now, Tyler. That being said, Tyler's got some nuggets.
• 24:37
  Man, here, you got a nugget about this one Meridian and Blaine.
• 24:41
  What do you got for me over there? Well, I mean long
• 24:44
  history obviously, going back to you know, the fifties forties, So these
• 24:49
  two teams have been playing each other a lot now in the in the middle
• 24:52
  of the nineties kind of my my wheelhouse. From what I remember, Meridian
• 24:57
  was like d team and at one point they had a twenty one game winning
• 25:02
  streak in league games. Okay, so this is going multiple years here,
• 25:07
  and it was snapped in ninety eight by Blaine. It was just one of
• 25:11
  those crazy games that you were like, really and in that game, Blaine
• 25:15
  had a running back, Brad Scheibe, ran for one hundred and sixty seven
• 25:18
  yards and two touchdowns. Meridian ended up falling also to Baker that year,
• 25:22
  fourteen to thirteen, and so they missed the playoffs. It was probably the
• 25:26
  best team in Walkin County history to not be in the playoffs. They were
• 25:30
  seven to two and you know, they were just whopping up everybody. They
• 25:33
  won a game, you know, by like eighty and I mean it was
• 25:36
  crazy. And then the following year, Meridian had its best season in school
• 25:41
  history. They became the first Walkin County state champion in football to go undefeated
• 25:45
  for the entire season. I think they were like the fourth or fifth in
• 25:48
  Walkin County history, but the first one to go undefeated. They wiped everybody
• 25:52
  out, including the state championship game where they won fifty seven to fourteen,
• 25:56
  and Jeff Benham threw for almost four hundred yards in this eight championship game five
• 26:00
  touchdowns. I mean, it was just a route. Every game was a
• 26:03
  route. Nobody individually had a good game against them that whole year, except
• 26:07
  that same Blaine running back Brad Shibe, who ran for one hundred and ninety
• 26:11
  eight yards against Meridian in a forty nine to thirteen loss. Thirteen, and
• 26:18
  he rushed for almost two hundred yards. Yeah, it's just it's crazy,
• 26:22
  Like it's just one of those weird anomalies that you you never see where a
• 26:26
  team loses by you know, five touchdowns and they have a running back run
• 26:30
  for almost two hundred yards. What do you have like two eighty yard touchdown
• 26:34
  runs or something? I mean, how do you like? That's an amazing
• 26:38
  number to only put up one of those things. Well, and the crazy
• 26:42
  and like the other thing is like they don't they didn't have another back run
• 26:45
  for like over seventy the whole year against them. That is crazy, but
• 26:48
  they were they were just loaded that year. They were oooh they were good.
• 26:52
  Yeah, what did you say? His name was Brad Scheibe. Brad
• 26:56
  Scheibe, who I thought, you know, forever was going to be like
• 26:59
  Blaine's all time eating rusher. And then all of a sudden, you know,
• 27:00
  Maryogbado came along and Mary Ogbato ever heard of him? Yeah, Riley
• 27:06
  Fritch, there's a lot of guys after that that kind of surpassed him.
• 27:08
  But Brad Scheib was a dude. And I'm so And also, as people
• 27:14
  know, I'm part of the Blaine Hall of Fame inductions or Hall of Fame
• 27:18
  come board and they're inducting a couple of basketball teams as a full team in
• 27:26
  a couple of weeks and Brad Scheib was on both of those teams, so
• 27:30
  back to back state championship teams. So he was a good basketball player.
• 27:33
  Two, really good athlete. That's awesome. Yeah. Yeah, Meridian three
• 27:37
  and two own one a league play at Blaine one to four oh and won
• 27:41
  in league play seven PM at Blaine High School. Tyler, you are going
• 27:45
  to be at cit at Lambert Field on Friday Night Linden Christian three and two
• 27:49
  overall, zero and zero in league play, Nooksack Valley four and one overall
• 27:55
  and one in ohero in league play, seven pm at the Old sid Lambert.
• 28:02
  Yeah, Tyler, I mean, this is the game that we've all
• 28:06
  been kind of waiting for for the last couple of weeks and here we are.
• 28:10
  Yeah, this is get there early. That's the best thing I could
• 28:12
  say. Uh, you know, out of Atnook Sac, you know,
• 28:15
  parking is kind of interesting. You know, there's kind of a there's that
• 28:19
  kind of a small lot within the school, and then it's kind of like
• 28:22
  wrapped around behind the school. There's a small lot. There's a small lot
• 28:26
  across the across the the street, like on the corner, and then and
• 28:30
  then there's that you could park on the street up and down the street,
• 28:33
  and there's just kind of weird spots. So I would say, get there
• 28:37
  really early, like I would say from thirty five forty five, And I'm
• 28:41
  not joking. So it's that's gonna be the toughest thing. This game is
• 28:48
  has been on my mind for a long time. There is obviously a lot
• 28:55
  of history between these two teams, but there's been kind of a natural rivalry
• 29:03
  that has happened in the last few years, and it's the Kate Eldridge effect
• 29:07
  really, you know, him transferring from Knoksack to Lennon Christian kind of you
• 29:14
  know, it was kind of it kind of started a little bit of like,
• 29:17
  oh, he's got friends on this team, but now this is his
• 29:19
  team over here, blah blah blah. And their first game that they played
• 29:25
  each other after that was you know, I remember Knuksack had they're missing a
• 29:30
  lot of guys because they got sick from COVID, and it was just kind
• 29:33
  of a blowout, and Kate Eldridge ran wild in that game. That was
• 29:37
  his junior year. And then last year when they played I think it was
• 29:40
  like something like thirty to seven or something like that was the final Nuksack looked
• 29:45
  great, drove right down and scored, and then they threw a couple interceptions.
• 29:51
  I remember Joey Brown hadn't thrown an interception all year. He threw a
• 29:52
  couple in that game, and it kind of turned the momentum a little bit.
• 29:57
  Kate had another big game and and Christian was able to take care of
• 30:00
  it. Now they played each other again on that Thursday night, that Kansas
• 30:03
  type breaker, and and Nuksak got the best of them there, and it's
• 30:11
  it kind of seems like, you know, it's been you know, almost
• 30:15
  three hundred and sixty five days since they played that full game against each other,
• 30:19
  and the kind of the way the momentum has gone for both teams is
• 30:23
  even though Linn and Christian has won the last few if you're not counting that
• 30:27
  Kansas type breaker, it just it looks like Knook Sack's kind of got that
• 30:33
  the momentum that they're going now with the way they've been playing versus Lynn Christian
• 30:37
  now Lennon Chrishen came up a huge win against Napavine. But you know,
• 30:41
  it's it's just been a strange year for them, where you know, three
• 30:47
  Saturday games in a row at home at two o'clock. It's just been kind
• 30:49
  of weird. It hasn't felt like they haven't they still have not. You
• 30:55
  know, they still haven't hosted a Friday night football game yet, you know,
• 31:00
  wow, and they won't they won't this week. Either. It's it's
• 31:03
  just it's just a it's just an odd schedule and they haven't played a conference
• 31:07
  game yet you know, and so this is and this you know, going
• 31:12
  into the going into this season, you ask, if you ask tons of
• 31:17
  different media members from around the state or whatever, a lot of people would
• 31:19
  say, oh, that one's going to decide the conference, like without really
• 31:23
  knowing anything, you know, right, really knowing the teams or anything.
• 31:26
  They would just point to that one. And so it's kind of been known
• 31:30
  for a while, you know. Like my intern Mikayla, when she told
• 31:33
  me what's games she wanted to go to, she was like, well,
• 31:37
  I'll figure it out later, but I want to go to Lynda, Christian
• 31:40
  Knooksack, and Linden Anachordus. I know for sure I'm going to those.
• 31:44
  I don't know what dates they're on, but I'm going to those. And
• 31:45
  I said, you've got great I don't know, you know. So it's
• 31:48
  it's it's the game everybody wants to go to. And because of that,
• 31:52
  I kind of thought, well, maybe I should go to Meridian Blaine.
• 31:55
  But I've been wanting to see this one for so long, Like I almost
• 31:56
  want to go to this one and and pay admission and just sit in the
• 32:01
  stands and watch it, Like I almost I'm not going to I'm just saying
• 32:06
  to like, I feel like I just want to take it in. Yeah.
• 32:09
  I think it's gonna be a great game. Uh. You know,
• 32:14
  they know each other so well. You know, they're both the Eastern Camp.
• 32:17
  It's just oh man, they've been playing each other for so long.
• 32:22
  Uh. You know, they're the two quarterbacks that won All Conference, you
• 32:27
  know for Northwest Conference one A first team quarterbacks last year. They split the
• 32:30
  votes. They're both back this year. It's it's gonna be great. You
• 32:37
  might be better off to park in Abbotsford and walk across. That's not a
• 32:39
  bad idea. Used the Costco parking lot there and and just just hop on
• 32:45
  over and get some Tim Horton's and walk yourself back over. Uh yeah,
• 32:50
  Lynn and Christian three and two oh and oh in league play Knuksack Valley four
• 32:54
  and one one to oh in league play seven pm sid Lambert Field. That
• 32:59
  Knuksack Valley High School, Tyler. The last game on Friday is going to
• 33:02
  happen down in Staholmas County at Quill Cedar Stadium seven pm. That is Ferndale
• 33:09
  four and one in or excuse me, four and one overall two and one
• 33:13
  in league play at Marysville Getchel three and two, one and two in league
• 33:17
  play. And I should mention I guess that Quill Cedar Stadium is actually at
• 33:22
  Maryville Pilchuck High School, but that is where they will be playing the game
• 33:27
  against Marysville Getchel. So yeah, Tyler, I mean, maybe one of
• 33:30
  the few times that I can remember us ever talking about Marysville Getchel where they
• 33:37
  have a winning record right now at three and two. Yeah, I was
• 33:39
  actually gonna ask you about that, because I you're right, it's it's been
• 33:45
  I've only really known about the school since twenty sixteen, since you know,
• 33:49
  Ferndale and Squalum at that point joined the West go three A North for football.
• 33:53
  Squalcum since has gone back down to two A, but Ferndale remains.
• 33:59
  And so it's it's you're right, it's always like every year it's kind of
• 34:02
  like, well, they're kind of the new kids on the block and they're
• 34:06
  they like to air it out, but you know, they don't win a
• 34:07
  ton of games, and you know it. And it's funny because I remember
• 34:12
  the one year where they were not you know, they were they were okay,
• 34:17
  was a year where uh, Ferndale was struggling a little bit, and
• 34:22
  I called that game on the Doug Lane Network and there was at Ferndale,
• 34:25
  and I think the final was like twenty eight to fourteen Ferndale one. So
• 34:29
  that was by far the closest game that they've had against each other. But
• 34:34
  uh, but yeah, it's you know, I would assume it's a lot
• 34:37
  of the same stuff, but hey, three and two, so something's working.
• 34:42
  And but you know, one and two in conference sometimes that kind of
• 34:45
  gives you a little information that you're like, oh, okay, so their
• 34:50
  non conference games might be a little, you know, a little different,
• 34:53
  but the games on the road, Mary's are Uh. Ferndale coming off a
• 34:57
  huge win. I love that. Tell them bunk Guard's healthy again and at
• 35:02
  full strength is huge. The passing game erupted last week with all six of
• 35:08
  their pass attempts but completing for one hundred and forty three yards, which was
• 35:12
  great. You know, they found a new kicker that's kicking the ball out
• 35:15
  of the end zone. Caden Eldridge. I think Ferndale's doing a lot of
• 35:21
  good things right now. And you look at that, it seems like in
• 35:22
  the year, like even in the years past the West, Go three A
• 35:27
  North has been kind of top heavy and bottom heavy, like there's not a
• 35:30
  lot of mid ground, and but you know it, maybe and this is
• 35:37
  one of those ones where maybe Ferndale is getting pulled down a little bit towards
• 35:40
  the middle a little bit, and Mary'sville Guilchil is getting pulled up to the
• 35:44
  middle a little bit. So this might be a closer game than people think.
• 35:47
  I could be wrong, which is rare, but I could be wrong.
• 35:53
  I believe in school history the school's only been around since like twenty ten.
• 35:58
  Okay, I was gonna too, yeah, yeah, And I believe
• 36:01
  they've only had one winning season and that was I'm gonna say two thousand.
• 36:08
  Well, okay, if the school came around like two ten, twenty eleven,
• 36:10
  then it would have been probably twenty twelve because that would be the year
• 36:15
  that you know, you're playing all the young guys that you have because you
• 36:17
  don't have a senior class, would start to pay off. And I think
• 36:22
  they only went like six and five, you know, And so that's it's
• 36:25
  just one of those weird things where, you know, because of the way
• 36:30
  the school district rules kind of worked, and I don't know if it's still
• 36:34
  like it, I don't think it is, but it used to kind of
• 36:36
  be one of those things where more of your athletes would go to Marysville Pilchuck
• 36:40
  and more of your you know, higher academic kids ended up at Marysville Getchel.
• 36:49
  So I think that they were good in like, you know, some
• 36:51
  of the other sports, Tennis, you know, things like that, maybe
• 36:53
  a cross country, I'm not sure, but yeah, they've always struggled in
• 36:58
  football. But you know, the thing is is, sometimes like you know,
• 37:02
  they might finish five and five, and actually I think they have like
• 37:06
  four or five seasons of finishing like five and five. But they're not always
• 37:12
  just a pushover. You know. It's not always that way. Sometimes it
• 37:15
  is, you know, if I remember, I think two years ago they
• 37:19
  went like one and nine. But you know, it's not always just simple
• 37:22
  walk right by them. And you know, I don't know how good they
• 37:28
  really are this year. I don't know if three and two is real telling
• 37:30
  of how good they are. But I mean we'll find out, I guess.
• 37:35
  I mean, you'll you'll watch the film, you'll give us a report,
• 37:37
  you'll let me know, and I don't know, maybe i'll believe you.
• 37:39
  Maybe I won't. I mean, we'll see what happens. That sounds
• 37:43
  good, that being said, Tyler. Tyler's got some nuggets. Man,
• 37:46
  you got a knug out about this one? What do you get? Yeah,
• 37:50
  well, you know it's I look at that matchup and it made me
• 37:52
  think of the game that I called, and so I was kind of looking
• 37:55
  up some stuff. And so they faced each other every year. Obviously,
• 38:00
  Sperndale's joined the West Go three and North for football. Yeah, and the
• 38:02
  Golden Golden Eagles have won all. The average score of those games have been
• 38:07
  forty five to ten. Uh, so there's it's been pretty dominant. Like
• 38:10
  that's like, like I said, though, the one that I was at
• 38:13
  was only a two touchdown game. Uh. In the very first matchup in
• 38:15
  twenty sixteen, Cole Samu there's a name that you remember. Yeah, Cole
• 38:21
  Samu ran for one hundred and sixteen yards. He scored a couple of touchdowns.
• 38:23
  But Ferndale also got a quarterback sack from one of your favorite Golden Eagles
• 38:28
  of all time. You want to guess who it was? Uh, winter
• 38:31
  Hawk Layton, Yes, Sting Ding Ding Bloom Bloom, winter Hawk Late and
• 38:36
  you're right that. Yeah, he was a heck of a player. Yeah,
• 38:39
  coaching at the University of Hawaii. Yeah, that's right. Yeah,
• 38:44
  he's uh, he's a good young man. I like that, get a
• 38:45
  lot. Yeah, he's a good I could be wrong too, but if
• 38:50
  I can remember, right, I believe that team that year, that Mary's
• 38:55
  Lil Catchel team, they had some talent, if I remember too, because
• 39:00
  they had Caleb Kolmer was their quarterback and he was tall, he was like,
• 39:02
  I don't know, six' five, had a pretty good arm.
• 39:06
  But then I'm pretty sure they also had a a running back that ended up
• 39:16
  going to Wazoo to play baseball. Oh wow, I can't remember his stinking
• 39:22
  name. But his senior year he transferred to Archbishop Murphy and I think was
• 39:30
  on that really good Archbishop Murphy team. And that was I think twenty seventeen,
• 39:32
  wasn't it. That was twenty sixteen? Was that twenty sixth graduating class
• 39:37
  of twenty seventeen twenty oh no, because I thought it was the twenty seventeen
• 39:42
  season. Maybe it was twenty sixteen. What the heck do I know?
• 39:46
  Either way, there they've had some talent there over the years, but that's
• 39:51
  pretty cool. I like that. I like a good Winterhock late and trivia
• 39:53
  question. Yeah, I know it's one of your guys. Yeah, more
• 39:57
  cool. When I noticed that, I was like, oh, I gotta
• 39:59
  I gotta use that one. Yeah. Yeah, we we need more of
• 40:00
  those. We need Yeah. Maybe maybe find find some other winter Hawk late
• 40:06
  and stuff over the years, and I'll just always answer winter Hawk late and
• 40:08
  whenever I see a nugget for Ferndale. There you go. All right,
• 40:13
  that's Friday, Well, Ferndale at Marysville Gotchell seven pm at quill See the
• 40:16
  Stadium at Marysville at Pilchuck High School. That wraps up Friday. Saturday,
• 40:22
  a little bit of double header action. One game uh in County, the
• 40:25
  other one down in uh Let's see what is the listener? Is that Clark
• 40:29
  County might be Clark County. I'm pretty sure it is down there. Actually,
• 40:32
  you know what, it's very possible we could have our guy Paul Valencia
• 40:36
  out of this game. I'm about to give him a call and see what's
• 40:38
  up. But yeah, Anna Chordish, they are coming to town on Saturday
• 40:44
  at one pm Civic Stadium five And oh, Tyler, you don't have one
• 40:49
  here. What their league record is, I would assume they're three and oh
• 40:52
  yeah, they are coming town to take on Sea Home, who is three
• 40:55
  and two overall, one in two in league play. So if you're a
• 40:59
  Sea Home, this is a game you need right here. I mean you
• 41:01
  kind of need to try to maybe sneak one out here. You know,
• 41:06
  you have losses against Sidrow and Linden, so this is, you know,
• 41:10
  kind of in a way, a last chance here to work something where you
• 41:16
  can end up with a three way tie or something crazy, which, by
• 41:21
  the way, we would love. I mean, that gives us something to
• 41:22
  talk about. I mean, that gives you a game to go to on
• 41:25
  like a Tuesday and Tuesday night football. Bring it. But yeah, Tyler
• 41:34
  anaccorda seahom Yeah, I mean last year this was a really good game,
• 41:38
  a lot of talent on the field. It's gonna be the same way again,
• 41:43
  and it's it's it's gonna be This one has been moved around a little
• 41:49
  bit. It was supposed to be Friday, then it's supposed to be Thursday,
• 41:51
  and now it's gonna be Saturday. And I don't know if Seaholme's just
• 41:55
  trying to get Anna Cordas dizzy by moving things around on their calendar a little
• 41:59
  bit. But uh, Seahawks have some talent, man, and I know
• 42:02
  you know that better than I do. But it's you know, there's a
• 42:06
  reason that they're five and zero, and it's not like they're obviously they have
• 42:09
  a great like offensive burst where they can they can put up fifty points pretty
• 42:15
  easily. But they're winning games like forty five zero, you know, forty
• 42:20
  two to seven or whatever. I mean, they're so their defense obviously is
• 42:22
  playing great, so that combination is really really tough. They played I believe
• 42:30
  they took it to Seed Drow pretty good last week, and Si Drow you
• 42:35
  know, got See Home pretty good. Now it's weird too because and this
• 42:38
  happens born maybe in basketball, where you're like, well, that team beat
• 42:43
  that team, that team, so they should just man handle this team.
• 42:45
  Yeah, well that's not usually the case because it's about matchups a lot of
• 42:50
  times. I don't know, if Sea Home matches up very well against Si
• 42:53
  Drow, they might match they might actually match up better against a team like
• 42:58
  Anacordus. So you can't just go, well, they were shut out by
• 43:02
  Sidro and then Sidro you know, didn't do it. You know, couldn't
• 43:07
  do much against Ana Korda, so this will be a blowout. You can't
• 43:08
  really go that way because it's just you just never know. And and as
• 43:13
  coaches like to say, you know, even if you're supposed to win by
• 43:15
  a bunch, you say, well, this one's in the bag, and
• 43:17
  they always say, yeah, but these are sixteen and seventeen year old kids.
• 43:22
  Yeah, so you just don't know. With all that being said,
• 43:25
  I think, you know, a one pm game at Civic, which is
• 43:30
  great for me. I can go out to that, and actually I'm going
• 43:35
  to be this game is going to be on the radio. I'm not sure
• 43:37
  if it's going to be on KPUG or KGMI quite yet. I would imagine
• 43:43
  KPUG. Now that the Mariners season is over, let's all cry about that
• 43:45
  for a second. But I've been asked to be on the pregame show and
• 43:52
  just kind of talk about the halfway point of the season. So so that'll
• 43:58
  be fun, and I'm hoping for a really good game. I mean,
• 44:02
  great athletes on the field can make big things happen in a quick amount of
• 44:07
  time. So you just never know. Yeah, you really don't just kind
• 44:12
  of looking over the numbers, Tyler, you're mentioning that, you know,
• 44:15
  their defense has been just unbelievable seven seven zero zero and seven. I mean
• 44:21
  yeah, I mean there you go. I mean that's Everyone talks about their
• 44:23
  offense, right, everyone talks about these playmakers that they have, but their
• 44:28
  defense has really been standing out this year. Yeah. I mean their defense
• 44:30
  is basically given up four points a game and their offense is scoring thirty six.
• 44:35
  Yeah, And I mean it's not like they haven't played anybody. You
• 44:37
  know. They beat Archbishop Murphy forty five nothing, They beat Lakewood forty seven
• 44:44
  nothing. They beat Oak Harbor twenty one seven. That was their closest game.
• 44:47
  That was Week one, right, yeah, Week one, and week
• 44:51
  one is always kind of weird. Yeah, Week one you kind of never
• 44:53
  really know. And then you know, last week they beat Cedro Woolley now
• 45:00
  Cedro Wooly two big time kind of emotional games back to back, if you
• 45:04
  will. You know, there was a lot of hype coming into that Seahome
• 45:07
  game, you know, and then you know they go and play Linden and
• 45:14
  so you know it's kind of interesting. You know, they get him twenty
• 45:17
  seven to seven and you know Cedarrow WOOLLI is still very good. Oh,
• 45:22
  yes, you know it's it's it's kind of wild that that one could come
• 45:27
  down to a two point conversion. Yeah, I mean, think about that
• 45:32
  one team could be getting in because of a two point conversion. Yep,
• 45:37
  you know, I'm crazy. It's just wild, I mean crazy crazy to
• 45:42
  think about there. But yeah, that's uh Ana Chortus at Sea Home,
• 45:46
  one pm Civic Stadium on Saturday. Mount Baker. They are headed down south
• 45:52
  Mount Baker's two and three on the season, Less Center five and oh on
• 45:55
  the season. This is a two pm game at Less Center. I'm pretty
• 46:00
  sure they still have a grass field. And last time I was there it
• 46:04
  was really a nice grass too, I mean really nice grass. So Mount
• 46:07
  Baker's gonna feel like they're right at home. I mean it's yeah, yeah,
• 46:12
  I mean there's there's only a couple of places that have really nice grass
• 46:15
  like somehow they managed to keep it really nice at all times. And le
• 46:21
  Center was looked pretty dang nice to me when I was there. It wasn't
• 46:23
  as good as well, kayak come that was That's the nicest grass I've ever
• 46:27
  seen. That place was pretty crazy. But yeah, anyway, two pm
• 46:30
  less center Tyler, these two teams played one of the more wild games we
• 46:35
  saw last season. Correct, Oh my goodness, Yeah, that was crazy.
• 46:38
  I remember I was gonna go, but I couldn't. I had a
• 46:43
  prior engagement. By the time I got home, I my buddy Travis,
• 46:49
  the grandy's running the clock. So I messaged him and I said, hey,
• 46:52
  you know, what's what's the scores? He just takes a snapshot the
• 46:54
  scoreboard text it to me because he's you know, he's busy, he's running
• 46:58
  the clock and everything. And it was I think, I want to say,
• 47:00
  it was like twenty four to nothing, Baker and or twenty five nothing.
• 47:05
  And in the third quarter, I think yeah, And I was like
• 47:08
  the third quarter, you know, it's like if I drive out there now,
• 47:15
  I'll get I'll get out to the I'll get there for the very end
• 47:17
  of it, and they're already up twenty five nothing. So by the time
• 47:21
  I get out there, they might have already started running clock. And I'm
• 47:23
  going to go out there for nothing, right, That's kind of what my
• 47:25
  mindset was. And then he keeps sending me texts with a different score and
• 47:30
  another score and another score, and it didn't make any sense to me.
• 47:34
  And then and they lost twenty six twenty five, and I was like,
• 47:38
  what, how could that happen? They just had the ball, you know.
• 47:42
  And it was so crazy when I saw the film and saw how everything
• 47:45
  unraveled and and it was just one of those it was crazy game. It
• 47:51
  was just crazy. And I also forgot to mention Anacordos Seahome. There was
• 47:57
  a game in the late nineties. The score was two to nothing. By
• 48:00
  the way, in the late nineties, now, I get it, that
• 48:01
  was like in the sixties. Yeah, but I think I told you.
• 48:05
  I think I've told this before. There was a game between Wilson and I
• 48:07
  think Stadium, Yeah, in like two thousand and eleven, twelve, somewhere
• 48:14
  around there, maybe thirteen that ended to nothing, and it was a ball
• 48:19
  snapped over the punter's head and that was it. That was the Yeah,
• 48:22
  that was the only scoring in the entire game. And the thing that was
• 48:24
  crazy is Wilson lost that game. And Wilson had been scoring a ton of
• 48:30
  points. They had a quarterback that was really more of a runner, but
• 48:34
  he could sling it a little bit. Name but I think it was Julius
• 48:37
  Brown, Julius Yates Brown. How I remember that name, No idea,
• 48:42
  but he was just ridiculously athletic. But for whatever reason that night, they
• 48:45
  could do nothing until they snapped the ball over the punter's head and gave the
• 48:47
  other team two points and lost. Unbelievable. Yeah, but this, this
• 48:52
  Mount Baker the Center game, this is yeah, this is crazy because it's
• 48:55
  a long trip obviously, and you know you're talking six hours probably on the
• 49:02
  bus. Yeah, I mean Mount Baker to me is probably hour and a
• 49:07
  half. A little bit more than that. It's another three hours to yeah,
• 49:14
  to uh the Center. And you got to look at it too.
• 49:15
  Riding on a bus and riding in your cars gonna be a little different.
• 49:20
  You know, it's gonna take all time. I can tell you this much.
• 49:22
  Having ridden a bus all the way down to Skyview in Vancouver, I
• 49:25
  would never want to do that again. That was pretty Yeah. So you
• 49:30
  know, two pm start, so you're talking when are they leaving? You
• 49:34
  know they're are they leaving at like six in the morning. I mean it's
• 49:37
  gonna be an early game now. I'll tell you this as well. Going
• 49:40
  out to practices in August and stuff like that. I don't know if anyone
• 49:44
  practices earlier than Baker really, so these kids are used to getting up practicing
• 49:50
  at six am, So I think that that's not going to phase them too
• 49:54
  much. What is going to phase them is this really good Wildcat team,
• 49:59
  because undefeated ever since that game, you know what's crazy, Ever since that
• 50:06
  game a year ago, I think the Center has you know, the rest
• 50:10
  of the way, it kind of it went went okay. I think they
• 50:15
  got to the state playoffs, but it didn't you know, it didn't last.
• 50:17
  Baker really turned it on after that and started winning. I think the
• 50:24
  next week they played Meridian and just and put a running clock on them,
• 50:28
  and then they you know, and then they played Nook Sack and they've lost
• 50:30
  barely, and then they beat LC and it just kind of skyrocketed after that.
• 50:35
  They just kept beating teams. And but then you go, you flip
• 50:37
  it to this year and and the Center hasn't lost and Mount Baker is still
• 50:43
  even though they had a big win last week, they're still trying to find
• 50:46
  the things that were that go well and work well. And and sometimes a
• 50:52
  long road trip like this is just like exactly what you need. You know,
• 50:54
  it's this could be a really good one for Baker. You just you
• 50:59
  just never know. I mean, obviously I love the coaching staff and everything
• 51:01
  that they do, so I you know, even though it's a non conference
• 51:07
  game, it's it's a it's a really good like measuring stick, you know,
• 51:12
  as far as seeing where they're at, get them ready for the rest
• 51:16
  of the conference schedule. And man, you just never know. I just
• 51:21
  I never want to count those guys out, Coach Leff and all those guys.
• 51:23
  It's just you know, it should be it should be a really really
• 51:27
  good game. Tyler's got some nug high school. I do have some nuggets
• 51:32
  from Mount Bigger High School. Here's the crazy thing about these two teams.
• 51:36
  So they've played each other seven times, Okay, last year's last year's crazy
• 51:40
  game was the only time they've ever played in the regular season. So wow.
• 51:46
  Yeah, so you think about all these other games have been playoff games,
• 51:51
  and they've always been like in these two year runs, so it's like
• 51:54
  two thousand and three and two thousand and four they played each other both times
• 51:57
  with the center winning both of those, and then like twenty thirteen and twenty
• 52:00
  fourteen they played and Baker won both of those, and then it was like
• 52:05
  twenty sixteen and seventeen, I think they played again in the playoffs and the
• 52:09
  center won both of those. So they always played each other like back to
• 52:14
  back years in the playoffs and it's always, you know, to the same
• 52:19
  team winning both of those games. It's just kind of one of those weird
• 52:22
  things. And this was all of these were before like the playoff, the
• 52:29
  seeding. I think, I think, I want to say start that twenty
• 52:32
  seventeen eighteen, twenty eighteen was the first year of the committee. So it
• 52:37
  makes me wonder if the reason that it was back to back like that has
• 52:42
  maybe a little something to do with the old process of kind of like preceding
• 52:45
  things right, But that would also take a little bit of luck in a
• 52:50
  way, because you would have to have both teams finished in perfect spots to
• 52:53
  do it, you know. So that's pretty wild. I mean, it
• 52:58
  is, it's crazy. And the funny thing is the very first meeting was
• 53:01
  in two thousand and three, and it was the first and I was there.
• 53:06
  I was covering the game for the belly Am Herald, and it was
• 53:09
  the first time I ever saw that phone booth offense. I mean, I
• 53:14
  had heard of it, but like until you see it in person, Yeah,
• 53:17
  it is unreal. There's no splits. It's just so crowded. And
• 53:28
  it was a miserable day. And the game was played and of all places,
• 53:31
  at Mount Vernon High School. Interesting, yeah, and it was my
• 53:36
  first time ever going there for a football game. I'd covered a ton dozens
• 53:39
  of basketball games, there never a football game. And it was horrible wind
• 53:45
  and rain, and Baker was loaded that year, but they lost nineteen to
• 53:49
  thirteen. The center was stacked that year and it was no one had seen
• 53:54
  that offense, and they lost in the semis to Meridian by two. And
• 53:58
  Meridian end up, you know, winning the state championship that year. Again,
• 54:01
  it was their second undefeated state championship. But anyways, what I remember
• 54:06
  the most about that is I was scared to death to interview coach Left after
• 54:09
  that game because I wasn't that far removed from playing for him. I didn't
• 54:14
  know how to approach him after a playoff loss. And I'll never forget that.
• 54:21
  I was just kind of looking at him and I couldn't talk, and
• 54:24
  it was raining, and I had like my notebook out, you know,
• 54:27
  and I'm trying to cover it and and and coach just put his hand on
• 54:31
  my shoulder and he goes, it's okay, Tyler, And it's like he
• 54:36
  knew he could feel what I was feeling, Like he knew that I was
• 54:40
  petrified about this moment. And he smiled and I'd never seen him smile after,
• 54:46
  you know, And but he knew that this was a moment that was
• 54:50
  tough for me, and he calmed me where I was able to ask questions
• 54:54
  and we got through it just fine. And at that point, I think
• 55:00
  was when, you know, our relationship kind of went to another level and
• 55:04
  I got to know him a little bit more, and that was that was
• 55:06
  kind of a neat deal. And I'll never forget that, and it,
• 55:09
  you know, it is tough, obviously when you have a really good team
• 55:13
  and you lose in the playoffs. But I just I love how there is
• 55:17
  more, you know, to life at after football and all that stuff,
• 55:22
  and it does show that these coaches are human. And it's just it's great
• 55:28
  for us that he's still around and still coaching because it's always fun to interact
• 55:31
  with him. Yeah, one of the things I've learned over the years doing
• 55:36
  media stuff was, you know, and it was a little different from me
• 55:38
  because I wasn't trying to write a game report right after the game or anything
• 55:42
  like that. When a team loses, that's one thing. When they get
• 55:46
  eliminated from the playoffs, that's another, you know. And so I got
• 55:52
  to a point where I would just I would walk over, I'd shake their
• 55:54
  hand and just say, hey, we'll talk, and I'd call them later
• 55:58
  the week, you know what I mean, the three or four days later,
• 56:00
  because man, it's just it's tough. It's tough, and especially because
• 56:06
  they have to now ride a bus home with you know, a bunch of
• 56:08
  seniors that are crying, you know, because most of them played their last
• 56:12
  football game ever, you know, and so it's always one of those weird
• 56:15
  things. It's it's it's tough to really figure out how to handle it,
• 56:20
  you know what I mean. It just is. But yeah, Tyler Mount
• 56:24
  Baker two and three, Les Center, five and oh two pm at Les
• 56:29
  Center. That's it. Yeah, we wrap. That's gonna be a great
• 56:34
  slate of eight. Yeah. I didn't mean to do it that way,
• 56:37
  Yeah, you did, you know, And it kind of started coming out
• 56:40
  and I just rolled with it. Uh, that being said, Tyler,
• 56:44
  it's time for Randy Small and his weather forecast Watcom County WX weather from the
• 56:50
  Pacific Northwest, Facebook dot com, backslash Watcombe County Weather, or visit his
• 56:54
  website Watcom County w X dot com. Tyler, it's time to hear from
• 57:00
  Randy Small. Let's hear what this week's forecast is going to be. Hello,
• 57:05
  this is Randy Small, Wakam County Weather, and we are looking ahead
• 57:08
  to week six already of the high school football season. And we have one
• 57:14
  Thursday night game that is down the road. I think Squalkum is on the
• 57:19
  road this Thursday night at Lakewood. Then we have a bunch of Friday night
• 57:22
  games and then a couple Saturday games, one at Cimic Field at one o'clock
• 57:27
  and then one way down by Vancouver and l Center where Mount Baker will take
• 57:30
  on the Center at two o'clock Saturday. But overall, as we look at
• 57:34
  the big picture of weather, we've got a nice again, well let's call
• 57:37
  it fantastic stretch of weather coming for October. And Thursday night will be a
• 57:45
  crisp night, but clear and it's gonna beautiful. Friday night will be maybe
• 57:51
  a little warmer, not as quite as cold because we have a warm air
• 57:54
  mass over us. But it's going to be clear. I suppose fog could
• 58:00
  be an issue Thursday night potentially for that game, depending on I'm not very
• 58:06
  aware of that stadium and if there's fog down that way. But Thursday night
• 58:09
  could have a fog issue. But otherwise Friday night Saturday games, it's going
• 58:13
  to be mid seventies load to mid seventies for those games on Saturday. So
• 58:17
  amazing. Another weekend dry, not much for wind, and a beautiful weekend
• 58:22
  coming for high school football. Have a great time everyone, Thank you.

  Randy Watcom County WX dot com is the website, Facebook dot com, backslash
• 58:31
  Watcom County Weather Tyler. Let's see here. What's up next? Okay?
• 58:37
  The pick'em's and the guest picker this week is miss Watcomb Preps. What was
• 58:43
  her record last year? Do we know? I do not know. I
• 58:47
  remember she picked earlier on she picked like week three, and I remember she
• 58:52
  was bummed that she didn't beat you. That was that was her whole point
• 58:58
  was just to beat Ryland. She kept saying, she goes, well,
• 59:00
  I just need to beat Ryland and I said, okay, and yeah,
• 59:05
  so, uh but I do not know what the record was, but I
• 59:08
  thought she I think she was there was one game that went different than than
• 59:13
  that you got her on. Yeah that sounds about right. Um. Yeah,
• 59:16
  and this week, Tyler, there's only going to be one game that
• 59:21
  we can get each other on here. That's true. That's true. Somehow,
• 59:24
  some way, all of us are picking the same teams for seven of
• 59:30
  the eight games. Bellingham, Ferndale, Lyndon, Meridian, Knoksack Valley,
• 59:34
  and a Chordus Squalicum all getting picked, and then miss Walking preps over here.
• 59:40
  She decided to pick Mount Baker to beat Less Center, and the rest
• 59:45
  of us went the other way. We picked the less Center to beat Mount
• 59:47
  Baker. So her reasoning, Yeah, she loves coach lep and they have
• 59:53
  that lemon background. Okay, hold on that, because she was the one
• 1:00:00
  holding the cup with all the lemons in it when Coach turned around and said,
• 1:00:02
  whoa, that's a lot of lemons. And and so they have this
• 1:00:06
  connection, this lemon connection. So she feels a strong bond with him and
• 1:00:13
  yeah, so uh so yeah, so she she can't she can't pick against
• 1:00:16
  him. That's a lot of lemons from big high school. There you go,
• 1:00:24
  Le from bigger high school. Oh my goodness, Tyler. All right,
• 1:00:37
  I'm tired. I don't know about you. So let's get to the
• 1:00:38
  uh, let's get to the fantasy draft here. And you know, like
• 1:00:43
  it should always be, Tyler, You're gonna go first this week because I
• 1:00:46
  went bonkers last week thanks to our our intro there Josh Tole. But uh
• 1:00:52
  yeah, so Tyler, you get first pick, and uh, just remind
• 1:00:55
  everybody really quickly for offensive things that we're picking your quarterback, running back,
• 1:01:00
  a wide receiver, slash tight end. Offensive line, and offensive line basically
• 1:01:06
  is kind of what does the offense do in general. And then on the
• 1:01:10
  defensive side of the ball, it's three positions and defense is kind of what
• 1:01:15
  the defense does in general. And then there's a front seven, which is
• 1:01:17
  defensive line and linebacker, and then there's a back seven which is linebacker and
• 1:01:22
  defensive back. And then we will pick a kicker, and I'm pushing to
• 1:01:27
  get the long snappers picked, but it's just not really going. That being
• 1:01:31
  said, Tyler, go ahead, make your first pick. Uh. It's
• 1:01:36
  tough, you know, this is a tough week of games. To look
• 1:01:39
  at to pick, and it seems like it gets tougher every week, even
• 1:01:42
  though we're learning more about these players. But I'm gonna go with Meridians offensive
• 1:01:45
  line. I just love that group. They're all underclassmen. I think they're
• 1:01:50
  gonna want to have a big breakout game after what happened last week. So
• 1:01:54
  I'm gonna go with the Meridian Trojans offensive line. You're gonna you're gonna take
• 1:01:59
  the old playing, angry guys, Yes, yes, all right, I'm
• 1:02:05
  gonna go. I'm gonna take a guy that I'm excited to see him back
• 1:02:09
  and going again, and that is Talon Bung guard running back Ferndale and uh,
• 1:02:16
  I just I like the matchup against Marysville Getchel and yeah, I mean,
• 1:02:22
  I think we're in for a good one there. I'm also going to
• 1:02:25
  take let's see, you took Meridian's offensive line, so I'm gonna go with
• 1:02:30
  the quarterback there. I'm want to go Jagger Fife from Meridian with my second
• 1:02:35
  pick in the first round there, or I guess would be the second round,
• 1:02:38
  would be the first pick in the second round, if you will.
• 1:02:40
  Uh, yeah, Jaggerfife, that's a good pick. He's been putting up
• 1:02:45
  numbers. I mean even in games when they struggle like last Like last week,
• 1:02:50
  he threw for almost two hundred yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions against
• 1:02:52
  a really good team like he he is going to regardless put up numbers,
• 1:02:55
  I think, so that's always going to be a safe pick. I'm going
• 1:03:00
  to look at some defensive guys here and I'm gonna go I'm gonna go with
• 1:03:05
  a guy that I don't think either of us have picked yet all season,
• 1:03:09
  and that's mister Gabriel van Hofwagen, the linebacker at Bellingham. I'm gonna pick
• 1:03:17
  him as a front seven player. He is super active on plays. I
• 1:03:22
  think he's forgotten a little bit about on defense, and I think that he's
• 1:03:25
  he's just gonna have one of those breakout games. I really like him as
• 1:03:30
  a player a lot. He's got good size, smart kid. And then
• 1:03:34
  I'm gonna go back seven and I just I know we you know, you
• 1:03:40
  and I have both taken Colton Lentz, you know, this year earlier as
• 1:03:45
  a running back. I'm gonna choose him as a back seven player this week.
• 1:03:49
  I think big players show up in big games, and I think this
• 1:03:52
  is the big game of the week and Lennon Christian likes to throw the ball
• 1:03:55
  a lot, and I you know, I just think he's gonna make some
• 1:03:59
  plays. I'm gonna go Colton Lentz back seven little defensive Lentz Huh interesting,
• 1:04:04
  Yeah, I think so, I think. So let's see here. So
• 1:04:12
  yet to be picked is a kicker, a wide receiver, and a defense.
• 1:04:17
  So I'm gonna go defense here, and I'm gonna go with Meridians defense
• 1:04:24
  against Blaine. I'm playing the playing angry. You know, gave up some
• 1:04:31
  points last week. This week, they're just gonna go, you know what,
• 1:04:33
  Blaine, none of it and just give up nothing and maybe have a
• 1:04:36
  couple of pick sixes. And yeah, sorry Andy, but I need it.
• 1:04:44
  I'm also gonna go receiver and I'm gonna head up to I mean,
• 1:04:47
  here's a name I don't know that we've ever picked on the on the old
• 1:04:49
  fantasy here. I'm gonna go Brady Elsner wide receiver out of Lyndon. I
• 1:04:56
  just I like what he's doing. And I know he's a big touchdown game,
• 1:05:00
  you know, so see if we can't get some points out of the
• 1:05:02
  all touchdown there he scored. I mean he's a red zone threat. In
• 1:05:08
  the last two weeks, I think he's scored five touchdowns or something like that.
• 1:05:11
  I mean, he is, He's really coming on in the in the
• 1:05:14
  in the red zone. That's a that's a great pick. And I think
• 1:05:17
  you're right. I don't think we have picked him yet this year. I
• 1:05:20
  am gonna go kicker, and I'm gonna stay on the same team, and
• 1:05:25
  I'm going to take Malachi Caine in the freshman. I don't think he's missed
• 1:05:29
  an extra point all season. And I think he's due for a field goal,
• 1:05:32
  baby, And I'm that on that artificial turf Terrrianna Stadium. Yeah,
• 1:05:38
  yeah, I think it's gonna happen, right, Am I wrong? I
• 1:05:42
  feel like there hasn't been very many field goals this year in the county.
• 1:05:45
  Yeah, Grady Evans has a couple, Gunner Pereira has one. You were
• 1:05:56
  compared to normal, I'm sorry, compared to normal? It feels like we
• 1:06:00
  Yeah, you're right, yea, you're right. Usually there's been about eight
• 1:06:03
  or nine. I think there's been about five so far. I think Phoenix
• 1:06:06
  Pink Bonner has one and Matthew Hayes from Blaine Edwin last week there hasn't been
• 1:06:12
  a lot. You're right, So yeah, I think I think Malachai Caan
• 1:06:16
  is gonna get one this week. And uh and I'm gonna stay on this
• 1:06:23
  Malachi craziness here, I am. I just picked Malachai Canaan, kicker of
• 1:06:29
  Lindon. I'm gonna go Malachi Smith running back of Squalalcum. I love the
• 1:06:34
  way he runs. He runs with so much determination, and he's the forgotten
• 1:06:39
  guy with Nixon and Dunmore and Ortiz, that guy when they need the yards,
• 1:06:45
  when they're like, oh it's fourth and two, that's who you go
• 1:06:47
  to. That guy will get you the yards. And I love the way
• 1:06:51
  he runs. So I'm gonna go Malachi Smith running back Squalicum. All right,
• 1:06:57
  here, we have have we picked everything? When two three all right?
• 1:07:01
  So then I'll go, let's go you know what, might as well
• 1:07:08
  double up here and go Ferndale's offensive line against Marysville Gatchel. And I'm gonna
• 1:07:14
  go with our guy. Boom boom, the old kicker there at Nuksack Valley.
• 1:07:17
  A little VG reaction. Yeah, I like that Ferndale and Boom boom.
• 1:07:24
  Yeah, that's a good that's obviously a good pick with Vigory. You
• 1:07:27
  know he has the record for extra points in a game, extra points in
• 1:07:30
  a career. He's really close to extra points for a season in KNOKSEC history.
• 1:07:33
  Wow, like he could. He could get it this weekend, in
• 1:07:35
  week six. That should be worth extra points. Oh, I can see
• 1:07:40
  what you did there? Extra points not even on purpose? Yeah, okay,
• 1:07:45
  Well I am gonna go. Boy. I you know I'm I'm a
• 1:07:50
  little parched. You know what? You know what I need? Oh?
• 1:07:54
  Boy, here we go? You like you know this is Tyler. This
• 1:07:57
  is when you could just get out of hand. And I know you You
• 1:08:03
  never know where this is gonna end up. So give it to me.
• 1:08:06
  What do you got? I am so parched that I need some juice.
• 1:08:12
  Dude, I need some juice. I need it now, I need it
• 1:08:17
  now. He fifteen catches last week? Are you kidding me? Now?
• 1:08:23
  I know Ana Chordus knows all about juice, but I think the juice is
• 1:08:29
  going to break loose again. You can't stop him. You can only hope
• 1:08:31
  to contain him. Tyler, what in the world are you doing right now?
• 1:08:35
  Hey? Man? I need I need him to get some points for
• 1:08:38
  me, and I know he can do it Andre Watson wide receiver, Sea
• 1:08:41
  Home and then wait, hold on, rumor is he's cool as the other
• 1:08:44
  side of the pillow? Go ahead, he is as cool as the other
• 1:08:45
  side of the pillow. It's no rumor. And I'm gonna I still need
• 1:08:50
  to pick a defense, a team defense. And we look at so much
• 1:08:56
  at matchups and there's a lot of like, don't oh, I don't know.
• 1:09:00
  Oh, I don't want to. But when I see this matchup,
• 1:09:01
  I really like the defense. Burndale's defense. I tell you, oh,
• 1:09:08
  man, they can really clamp on their great tacklers. And I'm looking for,
• 1:09:13
  you know, a touchdown on the Ferndale defense here. So let's go
• 1:09:15
  Golden Eagle defense. All right. I need two defensive players, So I
• 1:09:19
  need a front and a back seven. And I'm going to go with a
• 1:09:25
  guy in the front seven that I think is having a fantastic season and is
• 1:09:30
  just playing kind of out of his mind right now, and that is going
• 1:09:32
  to be Alex Malowly in the front seven. Nice, And then I'm going
• 1:09:38
  to go with a guy that I feel is like mister reliable in the back
• 1:09:44
  seven. Here, I feel like I end up picking a lot of linebackers
• 1:09:46
  and this stuff. But I'm going to go with DeAndre Dunmore from squal Come
• 1:09:51
  in the back seven is what I'm going to do. You know what's really
• 1:09:55
  cool is that you first saw him as a sophomore at Siger Wooley, and
• 1:10:00
  you might be going to this game as well, so that'd be kind of
• 1:10:02
  cool for you to see him again and you can see how his growth has
• 1:10:04
  been and and boy, he can really hit. I'll tell you what you
• 1:10:09
  can. I got one pick left and it's the quarterback. And there's some
• 1:10:14
  good quarterbacks out there to pick. But I think it's time for a toga
• 1:10:20
  party. You guys up for a toga party? I think they like the
• 1:10:27
  idea. I think we love the idea with a little toga tike aloo quarterback
• 1:10:32
  Mount Baker. You know that there's been last week he didn't have to throw
• 1:10:36
  very much. They might have to in this one, and and you know
• 1:10:42
  he's putting up pretty good numbers when they when they throw, So I would,
• 1:10:45
  uh, I like, I like my chances with toga behind center.
• 1:10:49
  There. You guys up for a toga party? Heck yeah, I love
• 1:10:54
  it. From Mount Baker High School. Yep. Oh my goodness, Tyler.
• 1:11:00
  Yeah, we need to wrap this up. Yeah. Uh. Normally
• 1:11:03
  this is the point where we would give a code word, but Tyler,
• 1:11:09
  the code word this week is nothing because it's true. You don't have any
• 1:11:12
  more stickers at the moment, so we're going to get to work on that.
• 1:11:15
  And but hey, thank you everybody for giving code words and getting stickers.
• 1:11:20
  That's good. That's a good thing. I ran out of stickers,
• 1:11:23
  so it's a I think it's a good thing. It's people are listening and
• 1:11:28
  and yeah, it's awesome. You know what, let's do this. Go
• 1:11:31
  up to Tyler and say the code word nothing, and that's exactly what you'll
• 1:11:35
  get. Yeah, right, exactly. Just everybody walk up to Tyler and
• 1:11:39
  just start screaming nothing at him. Although that could be a like you might
• 1:11:45
  make you feel bad about yourself. Yeah, don't worry to me and look
• 1:11:47
  at me and go nothing and then walk away. Yeah, now that being
• 1:11:51
  said, if that happens, just remember like you you're you're something, all
• 1:11:55
  right? Yeah? Nothing, you are not you are not nothing. Okay,
