• 2:32
  That being said, Tyler, we're gonna start with Linden Christian. You
• 2:36
  ready to go? I'm ready already. First off, we've got a six
• 2:39
  foot three, one hundred and sixty five pound wide receiver and safety at number
• 2:44
  five at Joshua Hubbard. Yeah, this is a kid that last year is
• 2:47
  a junior. Late in the game he had an interception returned it for thirty
• 2:51
  three yards and there was a lot of commotion on the sideline excitement and I
• 2:55
  think you know he doesn't play a ton, but he made a big play
• 3:00
  that game. And then this year he almost had a touchdown. I want
• 3:04
  to say it was against Bellevue Christian down the right sideline, but it didn't
• 3:07
  happen. He ended up getting injured and missed the rest of the year.
• 3:10
  I don't know if he got injured on that play or not. I can't
• 3:13
  really remember, but but yes, finished his career with two catches for forty
• 3:17
  two yards, had to tackle, and that interception return for thirty three yards.
• 3:23
  You know, but he missed a lot of his senior year due to
• 3:25
  an injury, which unfortunately happens from time to time. But he did have
• 3:30
  some memorable moments that he'll be able to remember for the rest of his life,
• 3:34
  which is pretty cool. Six foot pounds quarterback outside linebacker, number seven,
• 3:38
  Thomas Den Hartog. You know, it's a perfect spot to play quarterback
• 3:44
  as Lyndon Christian because coach Turps wants a lot of quarterbacks and he ended up
• 3:50
  lining up four different guys behind center at some point during the year. Dawson
• 3:55
  Bauma did line up one play behind center, but three other guys as the
• 4:00
  took a lot of snaps, I mean dozens, and Thomaston Hartog was as
• 4:06
  it's always tough being a senior backup quarterback. And we'll talk about that too
• 4:11
  as well with Squalicum and That was kind of the case with Charlie Ers at
• 4:15
  Lindon, and he's a kid that he's got a cannon. I mean a
• 4:19
  cannon. It's not super accurate, but accurate enough. And you know,
• 4:27
  he would come into games like for instance, you know, like final drive
• 4:31
  of the first half, you know what I mean, and just get him
• 4:33
  in there to cause they can there. There might be more throws that he
• 4:38
  can make because of a really strong arm, and there were times where he
• 4:41
  led them down and scored a touchdown. You're thinking, my goodness, how
• 4:44
  come he doesn't play more. He'd get in the game late as outside linebacker,
• 4:47
  makes some plays which was really impressive. Finished his career twenty of thirty
• 4:53
  six passing for two hundred and eighty four yards and three touchdowns. Definitely one
• 4:57
  of the best backup quarterbacks that there's been in a long time. And really
• 5:02
  crazy thing is is that one of their assistant coaches is Jordan Kreider, who
• 5:08
  is the backup quarterback for Josh Kraft all those years. And he's probably the
• 5:13
  best backup quarterback like I'd ever seen. And his passer rating like he did
• 5:18
  attempt at least I think seventy or eighty passes in his career and his passer
• 5:23
  rating was well over one hundred. And he was an amazing quarterback that just
• 5:27
  happened to be behind Josh Kraft. And now he's an assistant at Lyndon Christian,
• 5:30
  So that's kind of I wonder if he talked to him about that and
• 5:32
  said, hey, man, you've always got to be ready. You never
• 5:34
  know. He also would go in at receiver every once in a while.
• 5:38
  He got three passes for twenty three yards and then eleven tackles for one and
• 5:41
  a half tackles for lost and a sack as that outside linebacker spot, so
• 5:45
  as a backup outside linebacker, kind of the fourth guy. And boyd you
• 5:49
  know a kid that you know doesn't get a lot of the recognition, but
• 5:54
  a really good overall football player. Would that be like a Dutch Army knife
• 5:58
  or like aw Swiss army. Yeah, yeah, Dutch army. Now I
• 6:02
  like that. He liked that. Uh six foot two, two hundred and
• 6:05
  five pounds tight end outside linebacker number nine, Brody Bowman. Man plays one
• 6:12
  speed yeah, uh and and not the typical like there's certain kids that you
• 6:17
  go, oh, well, he's a baseball kid where I'm not saying there's
• 6:23
  connotation to that, but sometimes you're thinking, like, well, maybe he's
• 6:26
  kind of doesn't want to go all out, you know. Yeah, and
• 6:30
  he is a baseball kid, but he goes crazy all out in football,
• 6:34
  which I love. And uh called called me out once behind the end zone
• 6:39
  for having my flash on on my camera. My bad. You deserve it,
• 6:43
  even yeah, I deserved it. He's even like, hey, rep,
• 6:46
  tell him, tell him to turn his flash off. And I had
• 6:47
  already turned it off because I took the picture. And then and then there's
• 6:50
  a flash. I was like, whoa, And I said the wrong setting
• 6:54
  was on it, and uh and uh so I apologize Brody for that,
• 6:59
  but man, just you know, and it says six two two a five.
• 7:02
  He seemed bigger than that. He played bigger than that. He was,
• 7:06
  like I said, one speed all the time. I love that he
• 7:11
  got the recognition this year for All Conference First Team linebacker played on the outside
• 7:15
  and was it was wasn't really Sometimes that weak side outside linebacker just is there
• 7:27
  to flow the run. Maybe insider there too. They're not gonna get a
• 7:30
  lot of stats, you know what I mean. But he ended up doing
• 7:35
  pretty darn well with stats. He played in the inside linebacker last year,
• 7:40
  started there, played outside this year, and and then playing some tight end
• 7:46
  this year, and and kind of like an h back maybe and would be
• 7:49
  split out every once in a while, would run the ball sometimes be the
• 7:54
  full back and the wishbone, you know, just all sorts of different things
• 7:58
  that you could have him do. Ended up with sixteen catches in his career
• 8:01
  for one hundred and twenty three yards and a touchdown. Caught that touchdown that
• 8:05
  first round playoff win had five carries for thirty four yards out of the full
• 8:09
  back spot in the wishbone. Finished with one hundred and a half tackles,
• 8:13
  sixteen tackles for loss, six passes knocked down, three sacks, one forced
• 8:20
  fumble, and get this. In his career, he had three interceptions returned
• 8:24
  for one hundred and thirty four yards. Two of them were returned for touchdowns
• 8:30
  last year and then his one this year. He was tackled at the one.
• 8:33
  Oh so he's a kid that Yeah, how long was this year?
• 8:35
  It was fifty five yards? Fifty five yards and he couldn't get in.
• 8:39
  Yeah, stretched out, guy, you're killing me here. I love it.
• 8:43
  Yeah, it's a big play machine, and you know, finished his
• 8:48
  career. His twelve tackles for loss this year is the seventh most in school
• 8:52
  history for a season, and his sixteen career tackles for loss is the fourteenth
• 8:56
  most in school history for a career. So I almost want to say like
• 9:01
  unheralded a little bit, but but it's just, you know, I think
• 9:07
  the opposing coaches always look for number nine. They know that he's gonna he's
• 9:13
  gonna give it all out on every play, and he's a really fun player
• 9:16
  to watch. Did you have an older brother, Yes, Bryce, Bryce,
• 9:20
  Yes, I was gonna say I recognized the last name because that's not
• 9:24
  how people normally spell Bowman, you know what I mean, right, And
• 9:26
  that's and talk about one of the best backup quarterbacks of all time. Yeah,
• 9:30
  Bryce Bowman remembers Agent Langdon and and end up playing some receiver. Was
• 9:35
  a great great safety. Yeah, so very very similar. Dad Chris was
• 9:39
  a great player running back, defensive end, had to kick off return for
• 9:43
  touchdown, great speed for his a guy his size he was. He was
• 9:48
  huge and was fast and back in the early nineties. So yeah, very
• 9:52
  very similar type player and and uh just a great great player five to eleven
• 9:58
  one forty wide receiver corn or number twelve Jackson Van Dervine, Jackson Vandervene.
• 10:03
  Uh, you know, backup. Uh. But man, when he'd get
• 10:07
  in there, he'd get in at corner and then he get tested right away.
• 10:11
  And I remember one game, I think he had three passes knocked down,
• 10:13
  like in one quarter alone, and I was like, man, this
• 10:16
  kid can play. He'd also had three catches for thirty seven yards and defensively,
• 10:22
  five tackles and four passes broken up, Like I said, I think
• 10:24
  three in that one game. So uh, you know, there's been a
• 10:28
  lot of Vanderven's over the years that have have been some pretty good players.
• 10:31
  Go back to Tim vanderven and Lincoln Vanderven. Uh, there's there's a lot
• 10:37
  of good ones. And uh. And it's sad that he's a senior.
• 10:41
  I was kind of hoping he was a junior because you see those backups that
• 10:43
  come in in the fourth quarter and make plays. Yeah, and then you
• 10:46
  get all excited and you look at your roster and you're like, oh senior,
• 10:50
  yea man, you know, and and you know exactly how that is.
• 10:52
  And and but fun that I was able to watch him play six four
• 10:58
  one ninety wide receiver safe number fourteen Tyson Bima. Boy what Uh just the
• 11:05
  size alone is fun to see. And he's a guy that you watch on
• 11:09
  film and you go as a good sized player. Then you see him from
• 11:13
  the sideline, you go, man, he's huge. You know, there's
• 11:16
  just those certain kinds of guys that are like that, and uh, boy,
• 11:20
  he's he is all of six four one. Uh did great at Eastern
• 11:26
  Camp. Won one of their awards for the receiver awards. Played in the
• 11:30
  slot, which is not normal maybe for a six to four guy, but
• 11:33
  it's very much Yes, it sure did. And uh, very physical,
• 11:39
  probably the most intense player on the team. Uh really wants to gotta he
• 11:46
  asked. You know, he probably had to remind himself a lot to wrap
• 11:48
  up. Really wants to knock you out on defense. But still a very
• 11:54
  very good tackler. This year he was named All Conference first Team as a
• 11:58
  wide receiver. I know coach lep liked him a lot, you know,
• 12:03
  talking about like that that number, like when he was a junior. He's
• 12:05
  like that number fourteen is special. He's a great player. And yeah,
• 12:13
  yeah, okay, you're talking high school. Yeah yeah, okay, yeah,
• 12:18
  yeah, I know any anything you could do to put that in it
• 12:22
  well, but it also caught me off guard, like all of a sudden,
• 12:24
  I went with a minute, he just say lep. But we're talking
• 12:26
  about Lennon Christian, right, like right, yeah, right, y oh.
• 12:30
  He had a lot of praise for him, and uh ended his career
• 12:33
  with fifty seven catches for seven hundred and eight yards, seven touchdowns, and
• 12:39
  then on defense fifty eight tackles, ten passes broken up, six tackles for
• 12:43
  loss from the safety spot, like I said, very very yes yes,
• 12:48
  and plays downhill all the time. Two fumble recoveries, two interceptions in his
• 12:52
  career. One was returned twenty yards for a touchdown That was his junior year.
• 12:56
  He did return a couple of punts for sixteen yards, and his fifty
• 13:00
  seven catches in his career is fourteenth most in school history. So did it
• 13:05
  on both sides of the ball, like a guy that another guy kind of
• 13:09
  like Charlie Errs, where it's like I want that guy on my team just
• 13:13
  he's gonna be no nonsense and he's gonna get the job done on both sides
• 13:16
  of the ball. Is there any team in the county Tyler that has more
• 13:20
  defensive touchdowns than LC. It seems like everybody's got one, you know what
• 13:24
  I mean. I mean that's just the way. That's just Yeah. Last
• 13:28
  year they had oh my, like six, I think last year it just
• 13:31
  seems like every guy you talk about, there's one, you know what I
• 13:35
  mean. Oh yeah, and he had that that one interception for a touchdown.
• 13:37
  Yeah they had Yeah, they had four this year. Yeah. It's
• 13:41
  very opportunistic and super athletic. Yeah, that's a good that's a good recipe.
• 13:45
  There, six ft one and eighty five pounds wide receiver and safety.
• 13:48
  It's number fifteen. Trevin Blair. Trevin Blair is another favorite of mine.
• 13:54
  Got to see him a lot in baseball and last year he was a guy
• 13:58
  that was a backup receiving that they want to get the ball doman space and
• 14:01
  kind of have him make plays. But on defense he played it all different.
• 14:05
  He played at three different levels during the year. He played some safety,
• 14:09
  he played some linebacker. He ended up playing as a defensive end at
• 14:13
  the end of the year and had to pick six I believe from the defensive
• 14:18
  end spot, like on a closer he gets to the ball, the more
• 14:22
  likely. Here's the return one. Right, So this year I was really
• 14:24
  excited. I didn't know where he was going to play on defense because I
• 14:26
  saw him play all over the place. Coaches said, you know, he's
• 14:28
  gonna be one of our starting safeties. I said, great. And before
• 14:35
  even conference play started, he got hurt and I was like, oh,
• 14:39
  I hate when seniors get hurt. It's just it's just one of those really
• 14:41
  tough things. And I thought he was out for the year. Saw the
• 14:46
  big you know, saw the big brace on his leg, and just thought,
• 14:50
  yeah, that's too bad. All of a sudden in the quarterfinals,
• 14:56
  he had a catch for like forty five yards. I was like, that's
• 15:00
  awesome, he's back in there. And it was a play that was deflected
• 15:03
  off of one link, went to another early in the game, had a
• 15:05
  big, big play on it. And that was so cool to see him
• 15:09
  come back and make a huge play in the state playoffs. So that was
• 15:15
  really cool just to witness had a really good run in the baseball state playoffs
• 15:20
  last year too. So excited to see him back out there in the outfield
• 15:24
  and batting again for baseball coming up. But twelve catches one hundred and eight
• 15:28
  yards on offense in his career, twenty six tackles, six and a half
• 15:33
  tackles for loss, a lot of that. Like I said, coming last
• 15:35
  year playing defensive end, had a pass broken up, a fumble recovery,
• 15:39
  four interceptions, one that was returned for a touchdown. Also had four kickoff
• 15:43
  returns for thirty six yards. A player that if he wouldn't have got hurt,
• 15:50
  that LC defense would have just been that much better, which was always
• 15:52
  which was already tremendous. So just another one of those really good athletes,
• 16:00
  long athletes that could do a lot of things. And excited to see him
• 16:03
  play some other sports. He here's the last name I recognized, Tyler five
• 16:07
  nine one sixty wide receiver and corner number twenty two, Luke more Leg.
• 16:11
  Yeah, that's a kid. That boy, always a smile on his face,
• 16:15
  got the fire engine red hair. I love it. And he's he's
• 16:18
  always got some funky socks or shoes or something, and I just I just
• 16:22
  I just I love that. That spontaneity, special teams guy, you know,
• 16:29
  back up on both sides of the ball, but like transformed his body
• 16:33
  from junior to senior year, got physical, got big enough and physical enough
• 16:37
  to to withstand a beating and play at the varsity level. And do Well
• 16:42
  had four catches this year, had five tackles at a pass broken up.
• 16:47
  They tried to find ways that little bubble screens, you know, from the
• 16:51
  slot position, get him the ball, have him make a play. Yeah,
• 16:56
  though, I mean those more legs, you know, Cole Moor leg
• 16:57
  what a player. He was a really really cool deal. And and uh
• 17:03
  but again another player that I wish he had another year because I think like
• 17:07
  next year would be a great starring year for him. But uh, so
• 17:10
  many receivers in this in this class five seven, one fifty running back,
• 17:15
  nose tackle. I love these types of guys. Yep now number twenty seven,
• 17:19
  Levi DaCosta. Yeah, as quoting coach Churpstra, tough as a three
• 17:26
  dollars steak. He is the smallest kid on the team, and he's playing
• 17:30
  nose tackle and starting at nose tackle, and and I you know, that's
• 17:36
  a very eighties thing. I'm going back and watching a lot of eighties film.
• 17:41
  You'd see these guys that were that size starting at nose tackle and just
• 17:47
  just causing a muck and just making everything really tough for the opposing offense.
• 17:52
  And he would just get dirty and go down there and and cause havoc and
• 17:59
  just make everything hard. And he had a great season. You know,
• 18:07
  was in the running, was in the voting there for an All conference first
• 18:10
  team guy on the defensive line. He didn't he didn't get the votes,
• 18:12
  but deserve the recognition. Had twenty tackles, two tackles for loss, two
• 18:18
  sacks, He knocked down a pass, and then he also had a fumble
• 18:22
  recovery. I think it was on like a there was a bad snap on
• 18:25
  a punting play and where the punter picked it up, got hit balls on
• 18:30
  the ground, he picks it up at the three yard line or pounced on
• 18:34
  it on the three yard line. So what does coach do. He leaves
• 18:37
  him in the game to play running back, and on the next play he
• 18:41
  runs in for a three yard touchdown, his only carry in his varsity career.
• 18:47
  And that's just a that's such a neat deal because he probably could have
• 18:52
  picked up and scored a touchdown, But he did the right thing for his
• 18:55
  team by just jumping on the ball. You know, you're right there at
• 18:57
  the three yard line, don't don't be a hero. And then he sends
• 19:00
  him out there, keeps him out there and says, hey, you're gonna
• 19:03
  play running back. We're gonna give you the ball now you can get into
• 19:07
  the end zone. So I thought that was an awesome gesture by coach Turpstra.
• 19:11
  And this is not late in the game. This is like second quarter
• 19:12
  in a conference game. And Uh is a kid that probably could have played
• 19:17
  some running back, but they wanted him to just play nose tackle. And
• 19:19
  he did a great job this year. And another really really fun player to
• 19:23
  watch, another kind of guy that I root for as a smaller guy.
• 19:26
  Uh in the trenches, there a lot of fun six two two twenty right
• 19:30
  guard and defensive lineman number fifty, it's Jace Ryan. Major speed for a
• 19:37
  guy that size. I want to se his Yeah, I like it when
• 19:40
  you start when I when I mentioned a big dude, and you start off
• 19:42
  with how fast he is? Yeah, Like, that's that's one of the
• 19:45
  first things that I recognize with him. A perfect high school right guard that
• 19:51
  could pull in his fast athletic I thought he'd be a great when I first
• 19:59
  saw him like practice, I thought, man, he he looks like he's
• 20:03
  an edge rusher, like he just has that size. But I mean they
• 20:06
  got you know, Bowman and right coming off the edges. They're they're fine,
• 20:10
  they got they're fine. What that what they needed they didn't have a
• 20:14
  lot of experience in was offensive line, so he just filled that role.
• 20:18
  Played offensive line. D Yeah, he got a couple of tackles on the
• 20:19
  defensive line, but he was the right guard all year, played with a
• 20:25
  freshman next to him at right at right tackle, you know, and so
• 20:30
  helping along doing you know, doing what he could. But I think that
• 20:33
  he's a guy that is is uh just doesn't get the notoriety, but he
• 20:41
  did what he knew was best for the team, you know, to help
• 20:45
  them win and their offensive line. I think as the season went on just
• 20:48
  got better and better and better. And he was one of those pillars that
• 20:52
  was there week after week at right guard and a really really good athletic player.
• 20:57
  Six th offensive line, defensive line number fifty one, Carson Leibolt.
• 21:03
  Yeah, he's a guy that you know, just provided depth both sides of
• 21:08
  the ball, really good size and it's it's crazy because in years past they've
• 21:15
  had guys that were six three that were like one ninety that were playing on
• 21:18
  the offensive line. Now you get Now you're getting these guys that are over
• 21:21
  you know, to twenty. It's back to what it used to be like
• 21:25
  when I played Lyland, Christian was huge, big farm bodies, big guys,
• 21:30
  and they just kind of lost that. For a second. It looked
• 21:32
  like you'd go out there and you saw you saw eighty basketball players with football
• 21:36
  pads on. That's just what it. That's what appeared from the naked eye.
• 21:40
  And but now they're starting to get more to these bigger kids. And
• 21:44
  and he's one of those kids that provided depth, could play different spots on
• 21:48
  the offensive line, play all over the defensive line for you, and and
• 21:52
  could do a job that you knew he'd get the job done. And that's
• 21:56
  all you can ask for at the high school level. Six foot two two
• 22:00
  five left guard, defensive lineman, number fifty four, I believe, defensive
• 22:06
  player of the week. Maybe recently Malachi vander May. Yes, he was
• 22:08
  here's a kid that again that here I here're a kid another kind of All
• 22:14
  Madden type guy. Yeah, like that's the guy I want. With a
• 22:18
  name like Malachi vander May, that sounds like an All Madden guy. Yeah,
• 22:22
  you're you know, you're you know you're talking, you know, six
• 22:25
  syllables there. It's a lot of fun. I'm thinking of a guy that's
• 22:27
  got like, you know, nineteen ninety three neck roll and you know,
• 22:33
  tape on his fingers, no glove, you know what I mean, Like
• 22:34
  that's the Yeah. He is a kid that when a junior becomes a senior
• 22:41
  and becomes a star player, and every team has those kids, he really
• 22:47
  stood out, stepped up, and rarely came off the field. You know,
• 22:52
  those linemen, I mean, those are big kids that are doing the
• 22:55
  most work and it's so hard to play both ways. And I don't recall
• 23:00
  him ever coming off the field. He played left guard, was tremendous,
• 23:04
  was their best offensive lineman this year. And on the defensive side of the
• 23:10
  ball, boy, he just made plays that as a three to four defensive
• 23:14
  end, you know, playing inside the tackle, that's it's hard to make
• 23:18
  plays from that spot. And he not would just make plays behind the line
• 23:22
  of scrimmage, but he would force fumbles. I think he led the counting
• 23:25
  forced fumbles this year. He's you know, he did a lot of great
• 23:27
  things. He and I love and I absolutely love this. He was named
• 23:30
  first team All Conference on both sides of the line, and that's just for
• 23:36
  a I would have never guessed that he would have done that in August,
• 23:40
  you know, I kind of figured, Okay, he's kind of the next
• 23:41
  guy in line, would be a starter, But I didn't know he was
• 23:45
  going to be this good, this dominant, make that many plays. You're
• 23:48
  right about the defensive player of the week that was That was the during the
• 23:52
  first round of the state playoffs. Had a huge game against Connell. Fifty
• 23:56
  two tackles in his career, thirteen and a half tackles for loss, one
• 24:00
  and a half sacks, three forced fumbles, one pass knocked down. He
• 24:03
  recovered a fumble as well. He had eleven and a half tackles for lost
• 24:07
  this season. That's the eighth most in school history for a single season.
• 24:12
  And just a super nice kid, the kid that you want to have around
• 24:17
  and lead other men, you know, I mean, he's just he's that,
• 24:21
  he's just he's specials. It's been so much fun to watch him play.
• 24:25
  And I love when these kids, when they become seniors, they really
• 24:30
  stand out and show what they can do, and you could tell they put
• 24:33
  in the hard work in the weight room, they put on that ten to
• 24:36
  fifteen extra pounds of muscle, and they just get after it on the football
• 24:38
  field. And he's he's the epitome of that six two and seventy pounds center.
• 24:45
  Defensive lineman number sixty one, Cody Craig. Yeah, just pretty much
• 24:49
  center played some defensive line when they needed some extra bulk in their biggest kid
• 24:55
  on the team. And typically, and you know you would know that too,
• 25:00
  usually the biggest kid is not the center. You know, you put
• 25:03
  him a tackle or something like that. But Elsie has kind of had this
• 25:07
  the last I don't know a handful of years. I remember they had a
• 25:11
  big six' five, two hundred and eighty pound kid playing center, you
• 25:14
  know, like five six years ago, and no one else was even close
• 25:18
  to that size. But you know, depending on what you run and how
• 25:21
  you know, if he obviously if he's used to snapping the ball, you
• 25:23
  keep him there. Uh. And he's a kid that played and then took
• 25:29
  some years off of playing football and came back for his senior year and he
• 25:33
  was, you know, welcomed because they needed him. They needed guys at
• 25:37
  center. I think I believe they have a really good freshman center, but
• 25:41
  they weren't. He's not quite ready yet, and so this was a perfect
• 25:47
  year for him to come in, start at center, get the job done,
• 25:51
  play well, and kind of hold that spot for him for the upcoming
• 25:55
  season. But and in that offense, that pistol offense too, you need
• 26:00
  to have good snaps, you know, I don't recall you know, Jeremiah
• 26:03
  Wright having to you know, reach too far to get a ball. So
• 26:07
  that goes a long way, and that kind of timing offense as well.
• 26:10
  So a great year for Cody Craig six three, two thirty. I was
• 26:15
  about to say maybe the biggest guy, but then nope, look a little
• 26:18
  further down left tackle. Defensive lineman number sixty five, Carter Sigmund. Carter
• 26:23
  Sigmund really broke out on the scene last year as a junior. He was
• 26:29
  he was kind of like Malachi vander May. Last year he was a guy
• 26:32
  that like whoa, who's this and just made plays over and over again.
• 26:36
  And last year, like I said, as a junior, he was All
• 26:37
  Conference first team as a defensive lineman. He was also the only returning offensive
• 26:42
  lineman this year. He missed he missed the opening week that was against Lakeside,
• 26:48
  that close game Lakeside. By the time you're hearing this, they have
• 26:52
  already played for the state championship game. But we don't you know, as
• 26:56
  the time we're recording it, we don't know who won. Uh. He
• 27:00
  missed that game. I went out to see them play against Meridian. He
• 27:03
  missed that one. So he had he had some injury issues here and there.
• 27:08
  He was also an offensive Lineman of the Week one week. Just a
• 27:15
  really good left tackle, athletic and uh was that other defensive end opposite of
• 27:19
  Malachi vander May on the defensive line and you know with the with the little
• 27:23
  nose tackle there in the middle. Uh. Mace made a lot of plays.
• 27:29
  Sixty three and a half tackles in his career, twelve tackles for lost,
• 27:33
  three sacks. He you know, I guess if you looked at it
• 27:36
  as far as you know, junior year to senior year, I think he
• 27:41
  had maybe a little bit of a letdown, probably due to injuries. He's
• 27:45
  a great player. He put on you know, fifteen pounds of muscle as
• 27:48
  well and played great. But he was you know, he just wasn't he
• 27:55
  you know, injuries just hampered him a little bit. I would imagine if
• 27:57
  he would have been healthy this year, it could have made a huge difference.
• 28:02
  But still, you know, you tough it out, you play in
• 28:04
  you know, in the line, and it's just it's just such hard work.
• 28:07
  And he's a very he's a very very good player and a lot of
• 28:10
  fun to watch. Six foot one and eighty five pounds wide receiver and corner
• 28:15
  number eleven. The young man who gave us the intro, Dawson Bauma.
• 28:18
  What an athlete. Uh, just transformed his body, workout, warrior kind
• 28:26
  of guy. Like you see him with like a sleeveless shirt on, you
• 28:29
  go, oh my goodness, gracious, like that's that's guy's gonna, you
• 28:33
  know, turn some heads on the football field. Super quick, athletic,
• 28:37
  fast hands, smart everything. Great basketball player. You know coach's kid,
• 28:45
  you know his dad's the defensive coordinator. Was a great, great player that
• 28:48
  both you know, he wore number eleven just like his dad. What a
• 28:52
  just a a great overall player that you could ask to do a lot of
• 28:56
  different things. You could probably put him at running back, you would have
• 28:59
  been great. A lot of it was very much kind of the guy you
• 29:03
  wanted to get the ball to in key situations. You know, a third
• 29:07
  and eight, that's who you're looking for. Sometimes Caiten Steite would attract some
• 29:11
  main defenders on his side, so you can open things up for Dawson Bauma,
• 29:15
  who is no slouch at all. He could return for you. He
• 29:18
  had a big punt return for touchdown against Meridian. I was right there just
• 29:22
  seeing him zigzag through everybody. I believe he led the county this year in
• 29:26
  punt return yards average per return, so so many different things. He had
• 29:33
  two picks against Joey Brown in the quarterfinal game on like on the first I
• 29:37
  don't know, four plays from scrimmage, so it was looking like oh uh.
• 29:42
  And and for his efforts, he was named All Conference first Team on
• 29:47
  both sides of the ball, wide receiver and defensive back, which again is
• 29:51
  really hard to do in that in that conference. In his career, forty
• 29:55
  one catches for six hundred and sixty nine yards and seven touchdowns. He also
• 29:59
  completed a thirty eight yard touchdown pass on a trick play down to Cadan Stit
• 30:03
  when they played against Mount Baker at home. On defense, seventy four tackles,
• 30:07
  fifteen passes broken up, three and a half tackles for loss, two
• 30:11
  forced fumbles, one fumble return that he returned twenty nine yards for a touchdown.
• 30:15
  He had five interceptions in his career, including two in his final game
• 30:18
  that he returned for forty three yards, two hundred and twenty two kickoff return
• 30:22
  yards one hundred and fifty one punt return yards, including that touchdown I spoke
• 30:26
  about just he did so many good things in that game against Baker where he
• 30:30
  threw the touchdown pass. He also caught five passes for one hundred and forty
• 30:34
  yards. That twenty eight yards per catch the tenth highest in school history for
• 30:38
  a single game. A big play guy. Sixteen point three yards per reception
• 30:42
  is tied for the most or was tied for eighth highest in school history for
• 30:48
  a career, and his four interceptions as a senior is the ninth most for
• 30:52
  a season in school history, and his fifteen career passes defended is the tenth
• 30:57
  most in school history for a career. A great, well rounded player that
• 31:00
  could do a lot of different things that you know, I'm sure he's gonna
• 31:04
  probably you know, maybe play basketball somewhere. But I wouldn't be surprised if
• 31:08
  you know, he seeks a little bit of football somewhere because he's just he's
• 31:14
  kind of got that in him. And I think he's got the size and
• 31:17
  speed and athleticism to play at a small school and make some things happen.
• 31:22
  Six five two twenty two quarterback, outside linebacker and punter. Number six Jeremiah
• 31:27
  Right. Oh boy. Oh well, hopefully you have enough battery on this
• 31:32
  recording, because I could talk about Jeremiah Right quite a while. There's just
• 31:36
  so many things that he did. The first time I ever heard about him
• 31:38
  was on the basketball court, and that's, you know, pretty obvious.
• 31:41
  He's won a couple of state titles. He's going to go for his third.
• 31:45
  Uh, he's going to join the team a little late due to his
• 31:47
  football injury that he had a few weeks ago. But uh, super nice
• 31:52
  kid, quiet, humble, wants to learn and and coachable, and that's
• 32:00
  that's all you can ask for. You get this kid that's that size,
• 32:04
  just thrown in your lap and you go, man, what could I do?
• 32:07
  And to be honest, going into his junior year, I really did
• 32:10
  not think he was going to be the quarterback. I knew that they had
• 32:14
  a lot of options like five or six. And I go out there and
• 32:19
  I see him playing quarterback and it looked like bam, beyond ice. I
• 32:23
  just didn't see it. I didn't I do it. I was like,
• 32:27
  obviously, he's a great athlete. You want the ball in his hands,
• 32:29
  but I don't know how efficient this is going to be. And then right
• 32:32
  away, you know, boom, he's just you know, he's completing you
• 32:36
  know, seventy percent of his passes and throwing four touchdowns a game. And
• 32:38
  I'm like, what the heck he's he turns it on during the game,
• 32:43
  and what's what great athletes do. And then you look at him on defense
• 32:46
  coming off the edge. Holy cow. I remember seeing him as a sophomore.
• 32:51
  He had he had his hand in the dirt. He was playing like
• 32:52
  a down defensive end and he was great. And and I was like,
• 32:57
  that's that basketball kid. He's starting as a sophomre or on you know,
• 33:00
  on Dan Kaimings defense. This is going way back. This is you know,
• 33:04
  this was against Tanaino at home and tonight. I know had that really
• 33:08
  big running back that was going to Oregon State or something like that, and
• 33:13
  he played great in that game. And I was really excited to see what
• 33:16
  he would do on offense. I thought he'd be a tight end. He
• 33:20
  ends up playing quarterback, and right away he was. He was breaking school
• 33:23
  records and I just thought, man, this is a special athlete. As
• 33:28
  a junior, he was named first team All Conference quarterback. This year,
• 33:32
  he was named all first team All Conference linebacker. So I could do it
• 33:38
  on both sides of the ball for multiple years. Ends his career with completing
• 33:43
  two hundred and fifteen out of three hundred and fifty three passes for two eight
• 33:47
  hundred and ninety nine yards and twenty eight touchdowns. He also scored twenty four
• 33:52
  touchdowns on the ground, rushing for eight hundred ninety five yards on a one
• 33:57
  hundred and thirty nine carrys. He also caught a pass for twelve yards.
• 34:00
  That was when like den Hartog would come in at the end of the half
• 34:01
  try to get the ball down the field. He would split out and play
• 34:05
  receiver. I mean, talk about mismatch problem. And then on defense,
• 34:08
  ninety tackles in his career, nineteen and a half behind the line of scrimmage,
• 34:14
  eleven quarterback sacks, six passes knocking down With that giant wingspan, three
• 34:19
  forced fumbles, five fumble recoveries, two of which he returned for touchdowns in
• 34:23
  consecutive weeks. He also had one interception. And then hey, he was
• 34:29
  the punter this year too and averaged over thirty seven yards of punt. I
• 34:31
  mean, that's just ridiculous. And then you look at all these kind of
• 34:36
  records things. He has. Forty one pass attempts in one game is the
• 34:38
  second most in school history. Two hundred and six pass attempts in a season
• 34:43
  as a junior eighth most in school history. Three hundred and fifty three career
• 34:46
  pass attempts is the fifth most in school history. Twenty two he completed twenty
• 34:51
  two passes in one game that is tied for the school record. One hundred
• 34:54
  and eighteen completions this season was the fifth most in school history for a single
• 34:59
  season. In two hundred and fifteen career completions is the fourth most in school
• 35:04
  history. The cool thing, too, is like he's passing guys like Dan
• 35:07
  kay Make and stuff like that, like old coaches of his. He completely
• 35:09
  passed for four hundred and eight yards in one game last year that was against
• 35:14
  Mount Baker. That's a school record. That still has not been touched.
• 35:16
  I think he has it by over fifty yards for a single game. Fourteen
• 35:21
  hundred and sixty eight passing yards his junior year ninth most in school history.
• 35:24
  Almost twenty nine hundred career passing yards fifth most in school history. He completed
• 35:30
  eighty percent of his passes in one game once, sixty six percent of his
• 35:34
  passes last year as his whole season, that's a school record. His career
• 35:38
  completion percentage is the third highest in school history. He completed four touchdown passes
• 35:44
  in one game twice, so he's done that two times. That's third most
• 35:47
  in school history. Twenty eight career touchdown passes is the sixth most. And
• 35:52
  then you go to defense. Ten and a half tackles for lost in a
• 35:54
  season that's fifteenth most. Nineteen and a half career tackles for loss career is
• 36:00
  seventh most. Eleven sacks for a career is fifth most. I mean,
• 36:05
  it's crazy all these things. And then he's also the school's all time leading
• 36:08
  punter with an average over thirty seven yards. So my, oh my,
• 36:15
  As Dave Niause would say, yeah, it's just it's just it's it's it
• 36:20
  was so fun to watch him in person, and uh, you know,
• 36:25
  just thank you Jeremiah Wright for playing football. That's all I got to say,
• 36:29
  because, yeah, so you see him dominate in basketball and track and
• 36:32
  field, but uh, putting the pads on and playing football it's not easy,
• 36:37
  or if it was easy, everybody would do it. And uh,
• 36:39
  just glad that he did it and I got to witness it. Yeah.
• 36:43
  I remember you first kind of told me about him. You were like,
• 36:45
  just got to hope he plays because he might just be a basketball guy.
• 36:49
  And it was like, huh. Then you watch him a couple of times,
• 36:50
  you're like, nah, he's a football guy. Like, yeah he
• 36:52
  can he can ball. Yep. Last, but certainly not least on this
• 36:57
  list. Six four two thirty tight end, inside line backer, Number twenty
• 37:00
  five Kayden Stit Wow, just man goodness. A freaky athlete that got I
• 37:13
  think he between his junior and senior season, he was like, what do
• 37:16
  I need to do to be a college football player? And I think the
• 37:21
  blunt honesty to him was you need to be faster. I mean it's a
• 37:24
  different speed at the college game, and he worked his butt off to get
• 37:30
  fast and he is very fast now with that size and wants to catch the
• 37:38
  ball over the middle, wants to make someone pay for trying to tackle him,
• 37:43
  and earning a scholarship to Eastern Washington to play tight end, which is
• 37:47
  great. Then you plut sa se him on the defensive side of the ball,
• 37:52
  where he started for three years, and he's a different kind of player.
• 37:57
  He's smart. He's at the right spot all the time. You know.
• 38:02
  You see, you know, when you slow the film down and you
• 38:06
  see the linebackers sometimes all backing up together, and then you see who's the
• 38:09
  first one moving forward because he sees that it's a run player, who's the
• 38:13
  first one moving this way? Because he sees it's a sweeper, who's the
• 38:15
  first one. He's always the first one. So he's smart, he's instinctive,
• 38:19
  he's fast, he's strong, he's got great size. He's a good
• 38:22
  kid. I mean, I remember, like I was when we were out
• 38:25
  there. I needed him to stay after quickly to do an interview, and
• 38:30
  he was and he was like, I can't. I'm I'm I'm helping out.
• 38:32
  I'm volunteering at the Linen Fair. I got to be there at a
• 38:36
  certain time, and I was like, I get it, man, you
• 38:38
  know, you gotta do what you gotta do. And then all of a
• 38:42
  sudden, by the time I was getting the kids to do an interview afterwards,
• 38:45
  I look and he's still there, and he's like, I'll do it,
• 38:47
  mister Anderson, I'll do it. I'm like, man, this is
• 38:51
  you know. It's just it's those kinds of things coupled with how good of
• 38:53
  a player he is. And uh in his career fifty four catches for eight
• 38:59
  hundred seventy nine yards and twelve touchdowns not bad for kind of you know,
• 39:02
  being known as a defensive player. Also, the fifteen carries for forty four
• 39:07
  yards and two touchdowns pretty much all coming out of the wishbone offense. He
• 39:12
  scored that game winning touchdown against Nuksack Value with twenty five seconds to go in
• 39:15
  Week five or six or whatever. It was huge game defensive, I mean,
• 39:22
  and he was All Conference first team tight end this year, All Conference
• 39:25
  first team linebacker two years in a row, including being the Conference Defensive Player
• 39:30
  of the Year this year. And then you look at his career numbers on
• 39:34
  defense and again, it's hard to get tackles from me. And I always
• 39:37
  say, if you had over one hundred tackles in your career on defense,
• 39:42
  that's a heck of a career in high school level for Walking County. The
• 39:45
  way I do defensive stats. He ended with two hundred and fifteen tackles in
• 39:47
  his career, twenty one tackles for loss, three sacks, seven passes broken
• 39:53
  up, five forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, three interceptions, their return
• 39:59
  for fi fifty nine yards, and he also had four kickoff returns for fifty
• 40:04
  nine yards. He was doing everything he could to be the kick returner this
• 40:07
  year, and they would put him back there when they needed something to happen,
• 40:10
  which wasn't often because you know they're usually ahead quite a bit, but
• 40:15
  you know they would put him back there and hope he'd make a big play.
• 40:17
  His nine receptions in a single game this year is tied for the fourth
• 40:21
  highest in school history. He had forty five catches this year. That's tied
• 40:23
  for sixth months in a season in school history. Seven hundred and fourteen receiving
• 40:28
  yards is the seventh most in school history for a season. His career average
• 40:32
  of sixteen point three yards per catch is the eighth highest in school history.
• 40:37
  He had three touchdown receptions in one game twice. I think he did it
• 40:39
  in back to back weeks too. That's the second highest. I think only
• 40:44
  a couple players have had our one players had four in a game. He
• 40:47
  had ten receiving touchdowns this year. That's the sixth most in a season.
• 40:52
  He had twelve career receiving touchdowns. That's the eleventh most in a career.
• 40:55
  He had one hundred and seven and a half tackles this year. That led
• 40:59
  the CAD And uh and that's yeah, and that is a new and now
• 41:05
  I again, defensive stats. I don't go back too far, but I've
• 41:08
  got about I got about eighteen years of defensive stats for Lennon Christian and that's
• 41:14
  the most in a season in school history. Is the one hundred and seven
• 41:16
  and a half and his two hundred and fifteen career tackles that is also a
• 41:22
  school record for a career. Again, I only have eighteen seasons worth of
• 41:25
  defensive stats for Lennon Christian, but that that's saying quite a bit. Twenty
• 41:29
  one career tackles is the fourth most in school history. Five career forced fumbles
• 41:32
  is also the fourth most in school history. A really special player and a
• 41:37
  good kid and I love it. When he makes a play, they're not
• 41:40
  saying boo, They're saying stoooooo. And I love it. I mean even
• 41:46
  even when he got he got an award, he got a tight End award
• 41:50
  at Eastern Camp and everybody was yelling stoo. I mean he's you know,
• 41:55
  he's making a name for himself. And uh boy, what a what a
• 42:00
  a great high school football player that will be remembered for a long time.
• 42:05
  Any last words on living Christian Tyler, and don't start with no yeah,
• 42:10
  I uh, it's been a heck of a run with the Greg turfsja era.
• 42:15
  You know, he's sixteen and four in twenty games and and it's it's
• 42:20
  a lot of these players that have that have made that happen. And and
• 42:23
  Coach Turp will be the first one to tell you when you go on the
• 42:25
  field with guys like Caden Steite and Jeremiah right at the one A level,
• 42:30
  you got a big advantage right there. It's just there there there are two
• 42:36
  special, special players. Uh, they had a lot of special players,
• 42:38
  but those two guys literally head and shoulders above. You know, a lot
• 42:43
  of one a talent and and I don't think it's a great senior class.
• 42:49
  I don't think it's they're gonna dip very much. It's just Lennon Christian is
• 42:52
  becoming one of those programs where they're going to reload. They do have great
• 42:57
  talent. Like I said, they had a freshman starting at right tackle.
• 43:00
  I think there's another Sigmund on this way that's gonna be a great offensive lineman.
• 43:05
  And there's you know, there's you know, the Trey Bosman's of the
• 43:07
  world and those kind of guys. Eli Mayberry. They're gonna be coming up
• 43:09
  and filling some spots. Hallis Owen's gonna return, so they're gonna be fine.
• 43:15
  And uh, they they've got something special over there going where it's it's
• 43:20
  kind of like Lyndon where they can just keep replanning the seeds and just keep
• 43:23
  going along. There's not a lot of rebuilding, and and uh, they're
• 43:27
  going to be a force for a long time. That's it for Lynnon Christian.
• 43:30
  Let's move on to Squalalcum. What do you say sounds good? All
• 43:34
  righty? We start squal Cum with a six foot one and seventy pound wide
• 43:37
  receiver, defensive back and punter number two. It's Blake Nolan. Yeah,
• 43:43
  Blake Nolan came into the year as the starting punter and would play some receiver
• 43:47
  and defensive back. He got hurt about halfway through the year. Was able
• 43:52
  to he averaged almost thirty two yards of punt was you know, was right
• 43:55
  there in the midst of the leading punters and stuff like that. But then
• 43:59
  you have to average one punt per game to qualify. So once he got
• 44:04
  hurt and they kept playing more games, he kind of fell off that spot.
• 44:07
  He did have a tackle as well from a defensive back position. A
• 44:09
  good athlete, but just one of those kids that got hurt halfway through the
• 44:14
  year and that's always tough as a senior. Next up is a six foot
• 44:19
  two two hundred pound six foot two, two hundred pound that's a lot harder
• 44:23
  to say than I anticipated. Wide receiver, outside linebacker. It's number three,
• 44:29
  Nick Laughlin. I don't know if Nick transferred to squalk him or he
• 44:34
  just came out to play this year because and you'll know what I mean,
• 44:37
  have you ever seen like a senior that came out and you go, he
• 44:40
  can't be a first time player. He's good, you know what I mean.
• 44:44
  It's like he had to have transferred or something. And that's that's what
• 44:47
  kind of popped in my mind when I first saw Nick Loughlin play. There
• 44:52
  was some plays he would make at the outside linebacker spot where he he would
• 44:57
  take over a series and make some big plays behind the line scrimmage. He
• 45:00
  had an unbelievable touchdown grab against Sedro Woolley like in triple coverage, had some
• 45:07
  big time plays on special teams. He had to return to kickoff forty three
• 45:09
  yards as like one of the up guys you know, brought it past the
• 45:13
  fifty. He would have big moments and a kid that I knew nothing about.
• 45:21
  He wasn't even at practice. When I went to practice, I didn't
• 45:22
  have a head shot. I didn't have anything. And all of a sudden,
• 45:27
  he's like near, He's in the lead with tackles for loss, and
• 45:29
  I'm you know, I kind of nudged the defensive coordinator, Jordan Schalfon.
• 45:32
  I was like, I need to do I need to get a head shot
• 45:36
  at him, by the way, because I don't have one, and and
• 45:39
  boom, the next day at practice, he takes one sends it to me.
• 45:42
  Fantastic, what a great player. Two catches for forty four yards and
• 45:46
  a touchdown. And on defense this year, forty six and a half tackles,
• 45:50
  eight tackles for loss, a sack, a pass broken up and again,
• 45:52
  and he had that kick return that he returned forty three yards. It's
• 45:55
  a shame he's a senior. I wish I could have seen him play more.
• 45:59
  But uh boy, what a fun player to watch. Six foot five,
• 46:04
  two hundred and fifteen pounds tight end, outside linebacker. It's number eleven,
• 46:07
  Chase Nelson. I don't know Chase personally, but he seems like a
• 46:12
  guy that like would be a lot of fun to hang out with. Just
• 46:15
  you could see sometimes them like like if you didn't know Landon Hatchet and you
• 46:19
  just like watched him on the sideline or on the field, sometimes, yeah,
• 46:22
  you'll think he's got four or you know, a fun guy. Yeah,
• 46:24
  you're like, that guy's got to be a blast to hang out with.
• 46:29
  Yeah. Either that or he's got to be in a cave chiseling away.
• 46:31
  You know. I am grog. Yeah, and Chase Nelson is I've
• 46:39
  not laughed at a play more than what I saw in his last game.
• 46:44
  He's playing tight end and they run this reverse towards the sideline where I'm standing
• 46:49
  and he's lead blocking on this on this end around or reverse whatever, and
• 46:53
  and as soon as he pulls out and starts going, he's like me,
• 46:57
  me, me, me, me me me and the and it was so
• 47:00
  funny. It was like it was almost like it sounded like the like on
• 47:06
  asteroids when like the uh little ship would come out. Yeah, And it
• 47:10
  was just it was so funny. And the whole it's like it's almost like
• 47:15
  he's getting into the defense's head like by doing that. And he's out there
• 47:19
  lead blocking six five, two hundred and fifteen pounds and athletic, oh man,
• 47:24
  And and it was it was he's a natural outside linebacker because it was
• 47:29
  with his size and coming off the edge and everything. But there were times
• 47:32
  when he needed to play on the down, like on three point stance because
• 47:37
  they had they had they had a lot of good linebackers, but they needed
• 47:39
  help on that, you know, like that three technique spot, and so
• 47:43
  he had to play down there every once in a while out of position.
• 47:46
  But he would make plays. But man, when he came off the edge
• 47:49
  standing up, holy cow. Really good player. Pretty good tight end too,
• 47:54
  Not a true tight end, more of an h back. But would
• 47:59
  you know, slim out make a catch here and there, had a couple
• 48:01
  of touchdown catches in his career eleven catches for one hundred and fourteen yards and
• 48:05
  two touchdowns. Then defensively, a two year starter an outside linebacker, fifty
• 48:09
  seven and a half tackles, six and a half sacks, five tackles for
• 48:13
  lost, three passes broken broken up, two forced fumbles, and a fumble
• 48:16
  recovery. He had a really big strip sack. I think he had a
• 48:22
  couple of them in one game earlier this year in a really close game.
• 48:24
  I want to say that would have been the the Saquin game. But man,
• 48:29
  just the visually you go, you know, he passes the eye test,
• 48:34
  like I said, six five two fifteen, but then you see him
• 48:37
  rolling around him me me, me, me, me, Oh my goodness.
• 48:39
  I was laughing so hard. And it was a great play too.
• 48:43
  You know. It's just he seems like he'd be a lot of fun and
• 48:46
  uh yeah, really a good player. It stands out on film, really
• 48:51
  fun player to watch. Five eight one sixty wide receiver and safety and this
• 48:54
  number fourteen Brady Scanmeal boy undersaw but but doesn't care, you know, starting
• 49:04
  at safety and throws his body around, makes plays, had a great interception
• 49:10
  during during the year, and he seems a kid that I went to see
• 49:16
  the tail end of them playing at Civic against Archbishop Murphy, and you know,
• 49:22
  at that point, I thought they were going to beat Archbishop. I
• 49:23
  get there and they're down thirty eight to six, and I was like,
• 49:25
  oh, I'm just gonna get some pictures and get out of here because it
• 49:30
  doesn't look friendly, and you know, the coaches look angry, the players
• 49:34
  look angry, and I'm on the sideline and Brady Scammel walks over to me
• 49:38
  and he goes, I see you kicking that thirty five yard field goal.
• 49:44
  And I just started laughing because I just posted that video and it was just
• 49:49
  funny because he understood the situation where he's angry, but he saw me and
• 49:55
  he took it. He took it as a moment to say something to me
• 49:59
  and kind of break the because I probably looked like a deer in headlights,
• 50:02
  like I don't know if I should be here or not. And uh,
• 50:06
  he's just a great kid. I I for some reason, I thought he
• 50:09
  was a junior this year, and up until like week seven or eight,
• 50:13
  and I was like, oh man, he's a senior, and it just
• 50:15
  it breaks my heart because I want to see him play more, you know
• 50:17
  what I mean, really good player. Forty one and a half tackles,
• 50:21
  four passes broken up and the interception. You know, a guy that had
• 50:25
  was behind uh Nick Watt, you know, and got his time this year
• 50:30
  and played great. And like I said, undersized but does not care.
• 50:36
  Usually the smallest guy in the field, but makes a lot of plays.
• 50:38
  Five ten, one, seventy five. A quarterback number fifteen, Nolan Lamb.
• 50:44
  And we've been talking about these backup quarterbacks and when I first heard that
• 50:47
  Josh Leonard transferred to Bellingham, I thought, well, that's perfect because they
• 50:52
  have two quarterbacks in the same class. Nolan Lamb will play. That'll be
• 50:57
  that. When I went to scrimmage out at Seome High School, I saw
• 51:00
  Marcus Nixon a quarterback, which made all the sense in the world. With
• 51:05
  him, they only play single backs, so you're gonna have done more as
• 51:07
  the running back and Nixon, so that way you can get him both on
• 51:09
  the field. You put your best eleven on the field, whether that kind
• 51:12
  of leaves the odd man out with Nolan Lamb. He could have started for
• 51:17
  some teams. He had a pass against Lyndon, you know, the fourth
• 51:22
  quarter, you know they got the subs in. He's rolling to his left
• 51:25
  and this is something that Russell Wilson was great at. It probably still great
• 51:30
  at. But when he rolls to his left and he's able to like square
• 51:32
  up just in time to throw a bullet down the left sideline, and he
• 51:37
  did that on a play and and and it was I didn't see it live.
• 51:42
  I heard it on the radio when I was driving back, and even
• 51:45
  and Dan Kamick even said, you do not see high school quarterbacks throw that
• 51:50
  pass that well. And this kid's a backup, And I was like,
• 51:53
  oh, man, I can't wait to see the film. And it was.
• 51:55
  It was awesome to see. And you know, it's it's a tough
• 52:00
  situation to be in because it's you're a backup quarterback and you're a senior and
• 52:05
  the guy had to use a junior, and that's that's always tough. But
• 52:08
  man, in his career twenty completions for two hundred and nine yards. So
• 52:13
  he got to play a little bit here and there. When Marcus got hurt
• 52:15
  against Cidrow, he played the whole second half, and he's just one of
• 52:22
  those kids that you know, it's a tough situation, but when he was
• 52:24
  on the field, he made the most of his time out there and he
• 52:28
  did a good job. Six foot one, one hundred and ninety pounds wide
• 52:31
  receiver and defensive back. It's number twenty one, Jamison Brock. Yes,
• 52:37
  as soon as you say that name, I think of this one of the
• 52:38
  sweetest left handed swings in baseball around Walker County. And and you know,
• 52:45
  I was I didn't know he was playing football, and uh but man,
• 52:50
  and I you know, I'm assuming he's you know, he played quite a
• 52:53
  bit and got some run on special teams and stuff like that. But uh,
• 52:59
  really, at like I said, I am excited to see him play
• 53:01
  baseball again this year. Outfielder, really really good player. And I also
• 53:08
  didn't know he was a senior. And then sometimes it sneaks up on you
• 53:12
  when I when you only know a kid from one sport, then you see
• 53:15
  him on another sport. As soon as the school year turns, it all
• 53:17
  kind of snaps together and you go, man, this goes so fast,
• 53:21
  and it really does, because it's just it's just, you know, it
• 53:23
  just goes, goes, goes, and you blink your eye and these kids
• 53:27
  have gone through four years of school and it's unbelievable. Six foot two h
• 53:30
  five offensive line, defensive line. That's number fifty Alden Webb. Really versatile
• 53:37
  player, not the biggest lineman but would but played, you know, quite
• 53:43
  a bit on both sides of the ball. Finished his career with eighteen and
• 53:46
  a half tackles, had a tackle for loss, had a sack I believe
• 53:49
  his sophomore year, also had a fumble recovery. And he's a kid that
• 53:54
  is kind of that sixth offensive lineman, and you know, it was confus
• 54:00
  in a lot of different spots will sub in as one of the three defensive
• 54:02
  linemen and make plays and just kind of make stuff happen. In the final
• 54:07
  game, I couldn't find him. I was on the sideline Squallkum, I'm
• 54:09
  looking for him. I'm like, I don't know where he is. Well,
• 54:13
  what had happened was their tight end, Lockey Fagaatto. He was injured.
• 54:17
  Like they played a true tight end with an h back this year for
• 54:21
  like the second half of the year, and they put a different number on
• 54:23
  Aalden Webb to go out and play tight end. They did, we're gonna
• 54:27
  throw in the ball or anything, but you can get that sixth offensive lineman
• 54:30
  out there. Hey, hey, maybe you will throw the ball here and
• 54:32
  there. But he was that's the value that he possesses. He could learn
• 54:37
  a new position, go out there, and they ran great, especially in
• 54:42
  the first half of that game. DeAndre Dunmore went off ran for over one
• 54:45
  hundred yards, and it was you know, you can get a sixth offensive
• 54:50
  lineman like that out there, and he's such a value at that spot.
• 54:52
  Like I said, really good defensive lineman two and just a versatile player,
• 54:57
  fun to watch. Six foot two, two hundred and fift teen pounds.
• 55:00
  Left tackle and defensive lineman number fifty two Ben Keen Singer. Yeah, he
• 55:05
  was, you know, coming in to be the left tackle this year,
• 55:07
  kind of weighed his turn and played there the entire year. Was very,
• 55:13
  very steady, didn't hardly make any mistakes. He had a great block round
• 55:19
  the very first play of the game that sprung Donemore for fifty yards or something
• 55:22
  like that in that final game of the year that I was at and bigger
• 55:27
  than you think too, six two, two fifteen that he just looked bigger
• 55:30
  than that. It might have been next to who he was standing next to,
• 55:34
  but I thought I thought he was bigger than that. Also, six
• 55:37
  and a half tackles on defense. Again, he's kind of in on the
• 55:39
  rotation, not a ton on defense. You want to secure those, those
• 55:44
  those main offensive linemen and keep them steady for the entire game, keep them
• 55:47
  rested so he could play the entire game. And he's he was there all
• 55:52
  year at left tackle. He's a rock on that side, five nine,
• 55:55
  two hundred and sixty five pounds. He's a ligneman. And the long snapper
• 55:59
  number fifty, Kayton Fulton. Yeah, you don't see you know, usually
• 56:02
  when you see long snappers there, they're kind of lean, you know,
• 56:06
  or maybe maybe six three two forty or something like that. Like you look
• 56:08
  at the college level, and you know, the high school level, you
• 56:10
  never know. I mean, Casey Bowman long snap, you just kind of
• 56:14
  never kind of never know. But this kid, he's built like alignment and
• 56:16
  he's long snapping and he's running down there on punt coverage. Holy cow,
• 56:21
  I don't want to get in his way. There was a play I saw
• 56:23
  against Baker where he because he's you know center can run right down right and
• 56:28
  on pun punts, yeah, you're right, and and he'd go right down,
• 56:32
  he'd blow right through a linebacker and and uh, you know, yeah,
• 56:36
  you got now you've got to break down and you know, and with
• 56:38
  the best athlete on the other side, probably with the ball. But uh,
• 56:43
  but that's awesome. Long snapping extra points and punts, it's a big
• 56:46
  deal, you know. They they went through. I think they had three
• 56:50
  different kickers kick this year on extra points and and I think they had three
• 56:54
  different punters as well, because you know, they had Nolan punning in the
• 56:58
  beginning and Locke was punning in the middle. Then he got hurt, so
• 57:00
  Dunmore had a pun at the end. And but the one steady thing they
• 57:04
  had was Kate and Fulton as the long snapper six foot two fifteen center center,
• 57:10
  yeah, number fifty six. Elijah Ingram I would say, just consistency,
• 57:17
  which is what you want from a center, especially if you're you know,
• 57:21
  in the shotgun for one hundred percent of your plays. And it was
• 57:25
  the best with Elijah Ingram. I don't remember a bad snap at all.
• 57:29
  They really struggled last year with snaps and I could recall Josh Leonard, you
• 57:32
  know, jumping up in the air and then trying to land and then hand
• 57:36
  the ball off and then the defensive you know, linebackers already got him in
• 57:39
  the backfield because the timing was fall thrown off because of the snap. That
• 57:43
  was never an issue this year. Elijah Ingram was was he just played center
• 57:50
  and he was lights out, good, size, tough. His dad was
• 57:53
  a great player at Meridian, played against him in the mid nineties, and
• 57:59
  he's he was a guy that you would love to watch Ryland because he's you
• 58:04
  know, there's nothing again, nothing super flashy, but every snap was perfect
• 58:08
  and then he could he could run and go downfield, make a play and
• 58:15
  very much an unsung player as most centers are. And uh and he's not
• 58:21
  gonna boast about his game, is not gonna put a bunch of stuff up
• 58:23
  on social media. He's just gonna play it. He's just gonna play and
• 58:28
  let his play speak for itself. And and football people around the conference knew
• 58:31
  who he was. Five. He's a cornerback, number eighty four. Daniel
• 58:37
  Robbins. Yeah, I don't. I'm not sure if he joined the team
• 58:42
  late or but I didn't see him until later, and he ended up starting
• 58:45
  at corner when the season. When the season progressed, they ended up kind
• 58:49
  of moving Marcus Nixon around. Marcus Nixon started at corner for most of the
• 58:52
  season and he ended up being like an edge rusher for a little bit,
• 58:57
  and he would play sporadically. Then he got hurt. You know, it's
• 59:00
  so he couldn't play as much at the end of the year, even on
• 59:02
  defense, and so they need that corner spot opened up. And Daniel Robbins
• 59:07
  the senior, he's a little undersized and he had some hamstring issues late in
• 59:12
  the year, but he played through it and he played well. Had eleven
• 59:15
  and a half tackles, two passes broken up. And sometimes when you're a
• 59:20
  small corner and you're kind of on an island by yourself, you know,
• 59:23
  you'll hear the coaches will try to pick on you a little bit. And
• 59:27
  absolutely he held his own. I mean that was it was a lot of
• 59:30
  fun to see. Opposite of him was a freshman corner, so you know,
• 59:35
  it's it's it's uh. I mean, he had Hunter Callaway as a
• 59:38
  freshman. It was a little bigger. He's probably about six feet tall,
• 59:43
  really, excited to see him play at basketball this year. I've heard he's
• 59:45
  great, but you know Robbins at five to seven. I mean I was
• 59:50
  watching him in that final game against Baker on the sideline working on the hamstring
• 59:53
  when the team had the ball, and then when the when the defense went
• 59:55
  on the field, he ran back out there just playing through it, up
• 1:00:00
  through it. That's the final game of his career. And I love guys
• 1:00:02
  like that that that give it there all, especially when they know it's the
• 1:00:06
  best their final game. Five nine one and sixty five pounds. He's a
• 1:00:09
  wide receiver and a safety. It's number seven. Navai egging oh injuries,
• 1:00:15
  man, I just I wish he was able to complete a season. You
• 1:00:21
  know, I saw him play a little bit as a sophomore. Obviously that
• 1:00:23
  his sophomore year, they were loaded with talent. You know, they go
• 1:00:27
  they go to the state semi finals and everything, and and he got in
• 1:00:32
  a little bit of safety. He returned a few punts stuff like that,
• 1:00:36
  so he kind of knew, okay, he's kind of that that next guy
• 1:00:38
  in line once they graduate all those great guys in the secondary and the perimeter
• 1:00:43
  and stuff like that. Junior year he comes out first game of the year,
• 1:00:46
  scores the first touchdown. It was on a Thursday night. It was
• 1:00:49
  down to ordering only only game in town. I'm watching it live. I'm
• 1:00:52
  like, man, that guy's fast and uh and then he gets hurt and
• 1:00:58
  he's missed the rest of the year. Okay, Well, as a senior,
• 1:01:00
  he should, he should really stand out. So I'm excited to see
• 1:01:06
  what he does. I talk to him in the off season. I go
• 1:01:08
  to practice. We talk a little bit, you know, after the pictures,
• 1:01:12
  and I'm like, man, I now is your time to show out.
• 1:01:15
  I go. People don't know who you are, but you know how
• 1:01:16
  good you are. And he's like, he's like, oh, yeah,
• 1:01:17
  I'm excited. I'm excited. First time he touches the ball varsity is senior
• 1:01:22
  year, he returns a punt seventy one yards for a touchdown, and his
• 1:01:27
  seventy one yards led Walking County for punt returns for like six weeks, you
• 1:01:32
  know, yeah, and for like total punt return yards. And we were
• 1:01:37
  joking about it because after I think I think it was by week. He
• 1:01:40
  only played two games this year and he got hurt, and I think it
• 1:01:45
  was like collarbone or something like that, and it's just tough to see because
• 1:01:50
  such a great kid. I talked him on the sideline in that final game
• 1:01:52
  and I was telling him I wish he was out there, and he's like,
• 1:01:54
  man, you have no idea. And it's just tough because those guys
• 1:02:00
  tend to get forgotten about, and I always try to make sure that I
• 1:02:04
  can pump them up as much as possible, because you know, it's not
• 1:02:07
  their fault, it's just it's something that happens. And and and even when
• 1:02:12
  you look at the stats, they're not huge, but they speak volumes.
• 1:02:15
  Eight catches in his career for one hundred and eighty three yards, and three
• 1:02:19
  of them for touchdowns, you know, three kickoff returns pre returning for seventy
• 1:02:22
  yards. He averaged over twenty yards of front return, you know. But
• 1:02:25
  he didn't have that many returns, so it's it's it's a limited morsel.
• 1:02:30
  It's it's just a little bit there. But what he did when he played
• 1:02:32
  was amazing, and man, I just wish, you know, again,
• 1:02:37
  a lot of these guys, I always say I wish we could see more,
• 1:02:39
  but he's a guy that you really wish you could have saw because you
• 1:02:43
  saw glimpses. You know, we all loved watching Bo Jackson play, but
• 1:02:46
  it was it was just moments. It was spurts. Yeah exactly, it
• 1:02:51
  was, Oh, you're absolutely right because in college. Yeah no, but
• 1:02:54
  in college he was amazing. Yeah, Chris mcandone, yes, Chris Magan.
• 1:03:00
  Yes, in college he was amazing. But injuries just take their toll,
• 1:03:02
  and uh, there's nothing you can do about it, you know what
• 1:03:06
  I mean. It's, yeah, just one of those brutal things that happened.
• 1:03:08
  It's a game of football, right, yep, exactly, uh,
• 1:03:12
  six ft one and seventy five pounds, right tackle nose tackle number fifty four.
• 1:03:15
  It's Colby Lewis boy. Coming into the year. He was heavily leaned
• 1:03:20
  upon to be their guy up front, and he took that and ran with
• 1:03:24
  it. They also said, you know, you need to be in the
• 1:03:29
  kind of shape. He's a good athlete, play starts at third base on
• 1:03:32
  the baseball team. Really and yeah, good good, really good athlete.
• 1:03:37
  His dad is the head coach for baseball for varsity baseball for Bellingham, for
• 1:03:43
  Bellingham. Yeah, so it's a little Leonard thing going on there. Huh.
• 1:03:47
  Yeah, it's a pretty cool deal. So so it's so he's a
• 1:03:52
  good and he's got quick feet, really smart, strong, and he was
• 1:03:58
  gonna be you know, they wanted him to make sure he was in good
• 1:04:01
  enough shape to play a lot of defense as well. Yes, you're gonna
• 1:04:04
  play every snap at right tackle, but we need you to be an anchor
• 1:04:08
  on the defensive line as much as possible. And boy, he took that
• 1:04:12
  to heart and played great on both sides of the ball. He really burst
• 1:04:15
  on the scene as a sophomore. And I didn't know that much about him,
• 1:04:17
  but he came on as a sophomore and he was an All Conference second
• 1:04:20
  team pick as a sophomore, and there were other sophomores like Kayper Rossinc And
• 1:04:25
  Bennett Rorda that he was picked ahead of. So he had this you know
• 1:04:29
  this everyone kind of knew who he was and like, oh, boy,
• 1:04:30
  he's something special. And as a junior he was not an All conference pick,
• 1:04:36
  but he really stepped up this year. He was an All Conference first
• 1:04:40
  team pick on the offensive line and then defensively. He really, he really,
• 1:04:45
  I don't want to say surprised or shocked me, but he stood out
• 1:04:47
  and made me go, oh, he's not just an offensive line, he
• 1:04:50
  makes plays on defense too, Forty four and a half tackles, four sacks,
• 1:04:55
  two and a half tackles for loss, a forced fumble, a pass
• 1:04:57
  broken up. He also recovered a fumble and brought at eleven yards. He
• 1:05:00
  was close, He was close to scoring. There was only one guy to
• 1:05:04
  beat and he didn't get past him. But but that was a great play.
• 1:05:06
  I believe that was. I could have been forced by either him or
• 1:05:10
  Chase Nelson on that play. But Colby Lewis boy. And it's funny.
• 1:05:15
  You look at the three pictures that I took, the head shots, and
• 1:05:17
  it's like, it looks like three different people. You know, It's like
• 1:05:21
  that happens every once in a while where it's like, man, those look
• 1:05:25
  like three different people. You look at Connor Walker all three years and you're
• 1:05:27
  like, that's those are like, that's identical pictures. You look at Colby
• 1:05:30
  Lewis and it is three different people. Really really great player. Excited to
• 1:05:36
  see him play baseball, and glad that he was. He was named an
• 1:05:40
  All Conference first team guy on the offensive line. He deserved it. Last
• 1:05:45
  but not least. Here six foot two twenty five running back and inside linebacker.
• 1:05:50
  It's number ten, DeAndre Dunmore. Yeah, along with Colby Lewis.
• 1:05:55
  He was, you know, a guy that when when he was a sophomore,
• 1:05:58
  got quite a bit of playing time on that really really good what I
• 1:06:00
  would say is the best Squalicum team of all time a couple of years ago.
• 1:06:04
  So to play to get good playing time as a sophomore is that says
• 1:06:09
  a lot. You got to see him live down at Sidro that year and
• 1:06:12
  I remember you were even saying, man, this kid is he's good.
• 1:06:15
  He's a good linebacker, just just just a sophomore. And he got some
• 1:06:19
  run to it running back as a sophomore when when Javinski Schleimbaker got hurt,
• 1:06:24
  he missed a game and a half and Denmore came in and was great.
• 1:06:30
  A big running back, you know, two hundred and twenty five pounds,
• 1:06:32
  really hard to bring down and very instinctive as a linebacker. You and I
• 1:06:38
  have talked off the air about plays where, you know, we both kind
• 1:06:41
  of joked about when it's like a fly sweep play where a linebacker times it
• 1:06:45
  just right. You know, you break the the line and you break up
• 1:06:48
  the fly sweep and you just crush the guy, and you were like,
• 1:06:50
  man, this guy was really good at it. And I was like,
• 1:06:53
  yeah, and I'll probably talk about Alfonso too. Putala yes, place for
• 1:06:58
  you, dove. And that was how I I reckon. I mean,
• 1:07:00
  I'm not tooting my own horn. But nobody knew who the kid was until
• 1:07:03
  I went to a game, and then all of a sudden, it was
• 1:07:05
  like, dude, this guy, yeah, absolutely just murdering people out there.
• 1:07:12
  Yeah, and Dunmore can He's just like that. He'll have these he
• 1:07:17
  has these moments where it's like he is the guy on the field and it's
• 1:07:21
  not even close. But you know there's sometimes when he might need to wrap
• 1:07:27
  up. You know, he wants to hit, when he carries the ball
• 1:07:31
  really hard to bring down. You know, is very much in the Tyler
• 1:07:35
  Frost mode, or I might say Tyler Frost is in his mode. And
• 1:07:42
  and a guy that seems like we've been talking about forever put up pretty good
• 1:07:46
  numbers in his career one hundred and thirty seven carries for eight hundred and eighty
• 1:07:49
  nine yards and five touchdowns, caught five passes for thirty one yards, and
• 1:07:55
  then defensively one hundred and forty eight and a half tackles, twenty one tackles
• 1:08:00
  for loss, three sacks, three passes broken up, one forced fumble,
• 1:08:03
  recovered two fumbles, had two interceptions, and he also punted the ball twice
• 1:08:08
  in his final game when they were desperate need of a punter. This past
• 1:08:13
  year, he was named All Conference second team at both running back and linebacker.
• 1:08:17
  And then he also had sixty six tackles this year. That's the fifth
• 1:08:20
  most in school history, and his one hundred and forty eight and a half
• 1:08:24
  career tackles is the third most in school history. Twelve tackles for loss this
• 1:08:28
  year is the third most in school history, and his twenty one career tackles
• 1:08:31
  for loss is the second most in school history. And we're and he's up
• 1:08:35
  there with guys like Bryson, lam Jemensky, slim Baker, you know that
• 1:08:39
  are way up there in the tackles, tackles for lost stuff like that.
• 1:08:42
  He's right there with those guys. And that's some pretty good, you know,
• 1:08:45
  company, And what a player he is to watch where you know,
• 1:08:51
  if I had to, you know, if I was like, man,
• 1:08:54
  I'm going to make a highlight player of a kid or a highlight like film
• 1:08:58
  of a kid. Yeah, that might be one of the first kids I
• 1:09:00
  go to him like, this would be fun to make a highlight tape of
• 1:09:02
  this kid because it's just it's easy to find stuff and he's a fun player.
• 1:09:09
  Tyler. That's it. Any last words on Squalicum. Yeah, you
• 1:09:14
  know coach Lucy. You know, again, it was a tough year for
• 1:09:15
  him too, four and six this year. I think this might be the
• 1:09:19
  only time or maybe the second time he had a sub five hundred record,
• 1:09:25
  But again, he always has always finds ways to make some good things happen.
• 1:09:30
  They got some big time guys coming back next year, you know,
• 1:09:34
  this was it was. This class reminded me a lot of last year's class
• 1:09:39
  too, where it was a lot of first year guys stuff like that,
• 1:09:43
  making some plays. And but I think they're gonna and they had great leadership
• 1:09:48
  for these really good undercross men that they have. I think going forward they're
• 1:09:51
  going to be just fine. You know, you bring back you know Nixon
• 1:09:56
  and Ortiz and and Asbjornsen and and uh Lockey Fagato and they they got some
• 1:10:03
  some dudes coming back. They'll be just fine. But yeah, it's Squalicum
• 1:10:10
  is always as just a fun team to watch because because of coach Lucy and
• 1:10:14
  and how he coaches and and how the players have to understand kind of what
• 1:10:19
  he's trying to do. There's some frustrating moments in the beginning of the season
• 1:10:23
  because he asks a lot of his kids, but by the end of the
• 1:10:27
  year, when they get it, it's really cool to see. And and
• 1:10:30
  I think it was. It was a learning year for a lot of these
• 1:10:33
  guys. But and there's some players in this in this class that I'm really
• 1:10:38
  gonna miss. But uh, they're gonna go on and do some great things
• 1:10:41
  in life and and hopefully they'll you know, maybe someone will come back and
• 1:10:45
  coach. You never know, so we'll see he'll be It's gonna be a
• 1:10:48
  lot of fun to find out. This has been the second of four podcasts
