  Speaker 2: But right now we're going to talk Week four football
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: and there's again for the third week in a row,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: ten games to talk about, and so let's get right
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: into it. The first game was Friday at five pm
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: out at Forks High School. Meridian Trojans came into town
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: and took it to him pretty much. Fifty four to
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: seven was the final. You know, a couple early touchdown
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: runs by Landon Downey. Jager Fife got into the action
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: with a touchdown run of his own. There was a
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: few penalties and then he ended up you know where
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: they were getting really down close to the red zone.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: They ended up backing him up a little bit and
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: he just took it himself for a thirty five yard touchdown.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Then he completes a couple of touchdown passes to Trey Alexander,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: who gave us the intro some really good things for
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: a Meridian here. Jager five throws three touchdowns on the day,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Landing Downing eleven for sixty yards. Kelly Gray eleven carries
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: for fifty six yards. I think there's a really concerted
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: effort to get them both equal amount of carries. It
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: seems like almost every single game they're at least they're
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: identical in carries or one off, which has been you know,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: kind of what they've done for a little bit. They've
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: always had two really good running backs. They have it
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: again this year, looking really good for Meridian. The defense
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: was fantastic. Jager five twenty one of thirty one passing
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: for two hundred and seventy three yards, no interceptions. The
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: three touchdown passes and the one run. As I said,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Trey Alexander came in and he completed three of three
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: passes for forty four yards. He also caught seven for
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: one hundred and eighteen yards. James head All with his
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: biggest output of the year from the tight end spot,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: six catches for sixty yards. Casey Brennan four catches for
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: sixty five yards, had a great catch down the right sideline,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: kind of almost like a back shoulder turn the other way,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: catch it, keep a foot in bounds. Great great play
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: by him. Just a good overall effort. I thought Meridian
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: played extremely well. Another long road trip, and they're one
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: of those teams that has a lot of road games
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: this year, and and they'll be the last team joining
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: conference play as next week they'll be playing South Widby
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: before they jump into the whole gauntlet of one A
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: teams in their conference. Xavier Parron really led the defense
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: with eleven tackles. He had a sack, a really good
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: forced fumble on a kickoff where he just popped that kid.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: The ball came out perfectly, textbook tackle. Really loved seeing that.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Pierce Berezowski with another interception. He's really doing it in
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: the in the defensive backfield. There he's, you know, amongst
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: the league leaders now just a sophomore as well. Really
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: heady kid. Cooper Marim had a scoop and score late
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: in the game to score a defensive touchdown. Paren ran
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: one in for an offensive touchdown. We see it. We're
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: used to seeing him as a linebacker. Carson Campbell had
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: a really good game at the defensive tackle spot. They
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: were without a few of their linemen. Both starting guards
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: were out, so there was a lot of things they
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: had to shore up, and they did pretty well. I
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: thought Carson Campbell really stepped up, specially on the defensive side.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Eight and a half tackles, one tackle for loss. Meridian
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: looking really really good as we get into the October
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: here coming up, so it's a good time to do
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: it and hopefully they'll be they'll be able to keep
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: it going again. That was Meridian fifty four Forks seven
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: and Meridian jumps to three and one on the season.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: We're gonna go to Civic Stadium now where Bellingham hosted
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Archbishop Murphy. I was out there for that game, the
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: only game in town on Friday night. Everything else was
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: out of the county not too far away, but this
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: was the only game in the county and it was
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: you know, it was all Wildcats early. You know, they
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: scored a lot of these rushing touchdowns and after four
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: of them, they broke out into this spread offense where
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: they had trips right and all these different things, and
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I think it confused everybody in the stadium, just as
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: far as fans, coaches, everybody. I know, I was kind
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: of shocked when I saw it. I wasn't expecting that
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: at all. And they scored a touchdown out of it,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: throwing one up to Jack Severs, their four star tight end,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: really good athlete. He also had an end around where
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: he ran for a touchdown. I know his latest offer
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: was from Wisconsin, and he's got some other offers from
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: some big schools, Wazoo, Nevada, you know, Cal stuff like that,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: So UNLV as well. So really really tough team. That
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Archbishop Murphy Wildcat team looking really good this year. Undefeated
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: on the season. Bellingham had a rough first half, you know,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: it just it just wasn't happening. And they made a
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: change at the half, and this is a change that
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I think going forward is going to look pretty good.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: For them. They made the change at quarterback. They went
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: with the sophomore Ben Leonard, who you know has played
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: a lot more quarterback than Joe Harward. Harward is the
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: better athlete and a year older and a lot bigger,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: and so it's just kind of a matter of time.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: You know, has been big and strong enough yet to
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: take this, take this, you know, take this on and
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: and he looked great. First pass was a quick one
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: out to Harward. They put Harward in the out at
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: receiver and it just it went for a yard or
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: maybe no gain. But the next play was a deep
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: ball down the right sideline and the defensive back for
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Archbishop interfered. There was a penalty on the play for
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: pass interference. Joe Harward still makes the acrobatic catch, scores
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: the seventy nine yard touchdown, and all of a sudden,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: people are looking around going, okay, this could be a
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: way that it works. Archbishop does rattle off a few
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: more touchdowns, but there was a couple more deep passes
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: to Harward, who's out jumping guys, making plays make guys
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: miss out running guys, and there was a lot of
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: things to like. Still without Bli Henderson on the outside
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Nate Loss. There's a lot of these really good receivers
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: that are out right now for Bellingham, including some linemen
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: you know, the Jordan Stone and Kayser Barker, and there's
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: just a lot. There's too many guys injured right now,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: and the depth starts to become a problem, especially at
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: the two AA level. So that was a really big
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: struggle for Bellingham. Leonard does throw another touchdown pass late
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: in the game to gave Ben Hoffwagen the senior tight end,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: and yeah, it was It was fun to see and
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I'm curious going forward if that's the way they're going
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: to go, I would imagine they are. Harvard is a
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: matchup problem on the outside Harward. Before he switched over,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: he did complete seven of fourteen passes for eighty eight yards,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: and then in the second half he caught four passes
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: for one hundred and sixty seven yards and a touchdown.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Really impressed by him. Leonard's was six of eleven passing,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: did throw an interception, but through two touchdown passes and
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: through for one hundred and ninety one yards in a
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: second half that had an accelerated clock throughout the whole
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: or continuous clock. I should say, throughout the whole second half.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: So to throw for one hundred and ninety one yards
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: and basically a quarter based on you know, accelerated clock,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: that is really really impressive. I really like what what
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Handstead did. Owen Hanstead did as a receiver four catches
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: for seventy four yards, had a big catch early on,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: and is always just doing a lot of good things. Offensively.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: The running game couldn't get going. Bellingham only picked up
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: seven yards of rushing on only fifteen carries. Again, Archbishop
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: really controlling the clock here, and they come out with
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: the fifty four to thirteen win. Van Hofwagen led with
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: the defense him and gave Bowers together. Bowers had six
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: and a half tackles from the linebacker spot, Van Hofwagen
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: five and a half. They each had a tackle for loss.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: You know, it's it's been it's a tough part of
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: the schedule for the BayHawks right now. It's just too
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: many guys injured and everything to combine. It's just been
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: really really rough. There will be you know, they'll ease
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: up a little bit coming up here in the schedule.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I know they're back home and and they were home
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: this week, but they're going to be home again, I
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: think against Grant Falls and you know, the Burlington's of
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: the world and stuff like that, and it's just it's
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: the competition will still be pretty darned good, but not
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: you know, not Ana Chortus, Archbishop Murphy Goods. So so
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: we'll see if Bellingham can pick up their first victory
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: coming up soon. This was a tough one against the
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Wildcats at home. They lose fifty four to thirteen, and
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: that brings us to the coach's corner with Coach Wood.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: He was out at Burlington to watch the Seahome Mariners
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: take on the Burlington type Burlington Edison Tigers, and coach
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: joins us. Now, coach, what how you doing doing great? Tyler? Awesome?
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: So you were out at Burlington Edison Kirkbyfield. Awesome place
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: to watch a game. You've coached a ton of games
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: out there, Burlington hosting Sea Home in a really good
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: battle here between the Northwest Conference two A and yeah,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: I just talk about that game and it was kind
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: of a tale of two halves. What did you see
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: in the first half?
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Well, in the first half pretty low scoring. There was
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: only seven points scored and that was by Sea Home.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Kind of right before half, and Seahome offensively was kind
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: of shooting itself in the foot a little bit in
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: terms of penalties and some turnovers. And then they did
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: have one nice, nice drive that they got in the
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: end zone, Nolan right to Andre Watson. That's a pretty
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: common connection the last couple of years. And so they're
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: up seven and at halftime. Burlington's offense in the half
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: had less than fifty total yards and under I think
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: that they only had twelve plays from scrimmage. So the
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Seahome defense was just swarming. We know their linebackers make
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: all the tackles, Carl Bach and Fisher Hall, but they're
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: you know, they're front guys, you know, Cole Terrell and
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Logan Rogers, Finn Swis, screg War, Cohen Matthew. You know
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: those those guys, those front four, they're they're eating up
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: the blocks. So so those two lineback because they run
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: in the four two five, those two linebackers can make
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: the tackles and obviously hudding nets making making a lot
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: of tackles too. Finean you know that that fifth defensive
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: back spot where he's creeping up close to the box
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: a lot of times, so great defensive first half for
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Sea Home.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, that's a great you know, that's a great
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: point you make, because it seems like a lot of
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: defenses have gone to this four two five, and it's
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: really unique kind of based on what kind of players
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: you have and and they're really the lynchpin in that
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: is having a guy like Hudson nep who can be
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: that rover, a guy that can play up in the box,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: can you know, defend the pass and do all those things.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: And he's he is such a dynamic player. I also
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: thought Cooper Mcattee did a great job too on the
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: defensive line as a defensive end. There's some really good
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: players on that team. You're it's you did mention it
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: was seven zero halftime. What's really funny on Friday nights
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: is that I'm up, I'm at some games somewhere and
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: I'm getting scores from all the different games, and I'm
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: pumping him to the radio stations so they can as
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: they're broadcasting, they can give live scores. And I was
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: never getting a score for this game. And because it
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: was zero zero for so long, I had to I
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: had to dial into NFHS and and to find out
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: what was going on and when I saw it was
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: zero zero, I was kind of, oh, that's okay, that's why.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: So pretty interesting. Uh the second half is a completely
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: different story. Uh, tell us about that.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Well, it was really back and forth. The Sea Home
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: defense was still pretty solid overall, but they gave up
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: two really long rushing touchdowns. They gave up a forty
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: five yarder and an eighty yarder. They were kind of
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: going the power pistol with Burlington and they were they
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: were kind of stretching it out, and then on the
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: forty five yarder, their tail back he's got a good burst,
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: he's a senior, and he just cut defense over pursuit
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: a little bit.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: They were kind of unbalanced.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: They were four by zero and then they he cut
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: it back and it was just to the house. And
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: the eighty yarder was kind of a similar play but
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: didn't need to cut back, just kind of found found
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: daylight and hit that. And so Burlington was getting momentum
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: with those scoring plays. But Seaholme was answering, you know,
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: they had Andre had two more touchdown catches from from No.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: And they had a couple, you know, theo Quiggle had
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: a nice first down catch Al Miller had had a
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: good first down catch and they were running it a
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: little bit, and Nolan was actually the one really running
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: it a lot because Burlington was playing a lot of
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: man to man in the secondary and so when that happens,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: you know, all the defensive backs there, you know, turned
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: away from the quarterback and so if quarterback breaks contain
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: and you know, even if there's a linebacker, usually Nolan's
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: got the athletic ability and speed to kind of miss
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: some tackles. So he was he was rushing the ball
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: well too, But it was it was getting close there.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: I think Burlington got it twenty one twenty and then
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: there was a blocked extra point which kept see Home
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: in the lead there by a point in the fourth quarter.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And it was just it was crazy because that
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: was such a big, big play. And when you're going
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: back and forth and you're making your extra points, it's
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: just okay, it's it's you know, it's a you get
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: a lead and it's tied, get a lead, then it's tied.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: And then when you block that extra point, that puts
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: the pressure on the Tigers a little bit to maybe
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: have to go for two and or you definitely have
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: to go for two when it's that late in the game.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: It's the fourth quarter at this point. And then but
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: the Mariners they closed it out in a pretty good way.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Tell us about that.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, they were trying to bleed the clock,
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: but Burlington still had all their three timeouts. So yeah,
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: a couple of possessions later, let's see home at a
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: second long and after you know it kind of zone
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: play up the middle. They really ran the same zone
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: play and Nolan just you know, did a good job
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: of riding Solomon with the with the hand off and
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: pulling it and then really gutting out a fifty yard
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: TD run because he'd been banged up pretty bad on
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: a on an interception where his arm got hit and
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: big play for Burlington earlier in the in the fourth quarter,
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: and so so that really just kind of put it away.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Burlington had one more possession, but they didn't didn't really
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: move the ball and didn't have any timeouts. I guess
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: they had one left, but weren't able to get anywhere
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: on that last possession. So it was it was an
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: exciting game for you know, both fan bases and Burlington's
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: you know, they're they're building it. They did some good things,
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: and you know, they'd beaten Mount Vernon the week before,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: so that program's definitely on the rise. But it showed
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: a lot of a lot of jumps by the Sea
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Home kids. And I mean those those games when I
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: was coaching down there, seems like we always played in Burlington.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: I know we had one at Seahome High School on
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: the COVID year where we kind of took it to them,
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: But the ones in Burlington have been really close games
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: in the last you know, half decade.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right. I mean there's you know, there's some
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: surprise on side kicks going on. There was all sorts
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: of things happening that I can see in my head
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: from watching the film and and that you saw from
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: up in the box you know when you were there alive.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: It's just it's crazy when you think about that matchup
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: and all the all the good games that have happened.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: And speaking of you, you know, coaching with coom in
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: in the past. Uh, this connection between Nolan Wright and
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Andre Watson. I mean, when when you have a quarterback
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: and a receiver not only that's that good, but have
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: played together for three years? What is it about? You
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: know that that just makes it so so special. They
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: just kind of know what each others are doing.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they've they've played together, like you said,
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: for three years, and so you got a lot of
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: talent between the both of them, and then just that
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: familiarity to be able to you know, Nolan knows where
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: he's going to be, and Andrea runs you know, great
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: routes and has has great hands and always has that
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: ability to catch those contested balls with DB's you know,
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: even even on and well so so that's been a
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: you know, and they have another few games together and
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: no one's got another year, you know, so it's uh, yeah,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: you know, it's definitely probably one of the most prolific.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know, you have the stats combinations and Walkom
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: County hiss, I would think.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're way up there. And what's really impressive too
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: is Andre Watson had another interception in this game, light
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: in the game, and it was a great play. And
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: what I've noticed with a lot of guys even and
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: there's obviously there's a lot of players that play wide
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: receiver and corner or wide receiver in safety. There there's
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: a diamond dozen. They're all over the county but a
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: lot of times when these athletes are playing on defense,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: you know, they don't know the balls coming to them,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: so it's kind of a late reaction or they try
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: to knock it down or your Their mindset is different.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: When Andre's on defense and the balls in the air,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: he turns into a receiver. I mean he just goes
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: up and wants to get the ball every time. And
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: it just kind of says something about his the way
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: he thinks and the way he's been playing football all
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: his life is when the ball's in the air, he
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: always believes he's going to be the one that can
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: come down and get it. I mean, you saw him
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: when he was a freshman. Did you see that early
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: on in him? Yeah.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: I mean he's played a ton of football, you know,
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: all the way through and that play in particular was
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: really instinctive because if I read it right, but it
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: looked like he came off his man, his guy kind
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: of ran in snag route and they ran an h
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: back in motion on a wheel and you know, he
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: picked up the wheel route and you know made just
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: a yeah, great, great interception. Really play the game, save
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: the game there and play on the other side of
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: the the ball, which he doesn't get a ton of
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: passes thrown at him. Colby Chambers is also kind of
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: an unsung guy that makes makes a ton of plays
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: but sometimes doesn't have that much opportunity because he's always
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: blanked in this guy and he he's a really good
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: support corner in you know, the run game too. He
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: blew up a bubble screen I remember early on in
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: the first half. So he's having a really good year
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: as well. He's kind of a three year guy. He
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: played a lot as a sophomore, you know as well,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: So he's that whole defense is really gelling there for
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: the Mariners.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're definitely right. Colby Chambers is one of my favorites.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: He's a he's a lockdown kid, three year starter, like
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: you said, And I remember, you know, sitting up in
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: the boots with you when he was a softboorn and
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: watching a game like Game one or two and then
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: going to like game nine or ten, and how you
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: were saying how much he had improved just that year,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: and uh, and now to see him as a senior
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: and making plays, and you're absolutely right. His ability to stop,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: to tackle, just to tackle and out there on a
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: corner I mean you have to do that. You're all
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: by yourself sometimes, but that that support. He did have
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: two tackles for loss, one of them on that passing
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: play where that guy's supposed to block him and he
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: just goes. He just sheds him right away, makes the play.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: You could see the whole coaching staff on Purlington put
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: their hands up like, oh no, and uh it's it's a.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: It's a. He's a great guy to have, especially with
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: going up against Linden next week when they got a
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: lot of dynamic guys on the outside going against that
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Sea home secondary, that can be Uh, that could be
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: a pretty good matchup.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that'll be It'll be a great matchup, a lot
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: of uh skill on skill and Linnen will be ready.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Obviously we've had some close ones with Linnen over the
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: past few years, but Seaholme hasn't gotten gotten over that
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: hump uh.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Eat Linden, So you know they got it.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: I think they got to punch your chance this next
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: weekend and Linden's will be definitely coming off that Ana
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: Chordis loss will not be overlooking him.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: So absolutely, well thanks a lot, coach. I know that
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: you'll be off next week. Heading over to uh, Montana.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: I would imagine, yeah, doing.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: A little fly fishing on Rock Creek and then catching
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: a Grizz game grizz weeper State Gap Nortega plan left
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: tackle for the Wildcats, and uh, you know, I hope
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: he does well, but yeah, calling for the grizz for sure.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Alma Mater.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Absolutely awesome. Thank you so much, Coach would and we
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: will talk to you in a couple of weeks.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Thanks Siler.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: And that is the coach's corner. Thank you very much,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Coach Wood for your appearance. And we're gonna jump right
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: into the Blaine Granite Falls game. Blaine went on the
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: road to take on Granite Falls, uh, the black game.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: This seems like these two teams have played each other
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: a lot in the past, and this was gonna be
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Blaine's biggest test. It seems like every week the test
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: gets a little harder, which is great scheduling, but it
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: just kind of worked out that way. And you know,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: there're a lot was talked about, Oh three and oh
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: for the first time since nineteen seventy nine, can they
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: go four and oh? And boy? They did forty seven
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: twenty two looked really good doing it, really strong, offense.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Running the game passed a little bit more there. It
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: seems like they're throwing the ball a little bit more
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: each week as well. But there you know, they take
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: what the defense gives you. Granted, Falls has a lot
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: of speed on the outside, so running the ball against
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: them was probably the better game plan. Jade and Piez again.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: It seems like every game he scores four or five touchdowns.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: He did it again. He scores five in this one,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: four on the ground and one with an interception return
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: for a touchdown. His second defensive touchdown of the year
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: would have been three if there was one that was
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: called back in Week one against Renton. So what a
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: great game for Jade and Piez again. Twenty carries for
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty yards. Blaine ran for three hundred
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: and sixty seven yards on the day. Just kind of
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: instilling their will, their size, their power and the attitude
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: that coach Olsen has brought to this team. You know
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: he's lived it. He'd played at London, he coached at London,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: he coached at Burlington. These kinds of teams. He'll always
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: get the most out of his kids, and right now
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: they're believing in themselves. They're looking really really good. Paulin
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Davis seven of twelve passing for ninety six yards, kay
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Kerwin with four catches for twenty eight yards. Blake Kureski
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: two catches for fifty seven yards, so a couple of
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: longer ones there. Really like what Kuresky has done with
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: his move to tight end. Has moved a defensive end
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: first year as the kickoff guy, though it did kick
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: a little bit last year kicking off, I believe in
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: the LC game he did a little later in the year.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: So just a lot of good things to like overall offensively,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: but still very run heavy. Sixty plays, forty eight of
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: them running the football, so granted Falls does score some
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: touchdowns in the second half, but it just it was
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: all Blaine. The defense again looked really good, the Border
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Patrol defense, if you will. Jayden Piez had the pick
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: six to kind of lead that defensive surge. Blake Kreski
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: four and a half tackles, one and a half tackles
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: for loss, and a quarterback sack. It seems like every
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: week he's making plays behind the line of scrimmage. A
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: lot of things to like. Colby shipped very very active
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: four and a half tackles, one tackle for loss, a
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: pass broken up, Thomas Cox, had an interception, Just a
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: great physical corner on one side, A guy that you know,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: if you're not a very big receiver, he's gonna man
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: handle you over there, and it's gonna be it's gonna
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: be tough. But he showed a very athletic play with
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: the diving interception. So even though he's he's muscled up
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: and he's gained about twenty pounds, he can still jump
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: and run and do all those things and still be
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: a very very good athlete. I really liked what Axel
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Shelton did too. Defensively, a guy that can play at
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: different levels, play some defensive tackle, play some linebacker. Just
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: a sophomore. This is a very senior heavy team and
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: and there's not a ton of juniors on the team,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: and I think a lot will be depending on him
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: going on next year in the year after with a
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: big freshman class as well. So, but Axel Shelton looked
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: really good. And yeah, just a great overall win for
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Blaine who are now four and oh the border Rights
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: are four and oh, very very impressive, A lot of
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: fun to watch. It's just been it's been ade, and
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: I know that there's been a lot of positivity and
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: and you know it's hard to say what will be
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: like in the one A Northwest Conference, and we'll have
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: to see. They'll be hosting Lynden Christian on Friday and
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: and we'll be talking about that in the next podcast.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: But but right now, they're looking really good. Colby Ship
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: also eighteen carries for one hundred and thirteen yards. He
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: went over a thousand yards rushing in his career in
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: that one. And one of the things that have been
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: kind of bogging them down a little bit, even though
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: they're four and oh, has been fumbles and it didn't
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: happen as much. It did happen. I think there was
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: one maybe I think there was one of them this week,
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: so they you know, that's beginning to get shore up
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: a little bit. It still needs to be cleaned up
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: a little bit more, but it looked better last week.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: So so that's a really really good thing. Again, they
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: had two more interceptions. That's five in the last two
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: games against their two best opponents that they faced this year.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: So Blaine's looking really really good. I'm so I've never
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: been so excited about conference play in the one A. No,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: there was a few years ago where when Blaine was
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: I think it might have been when Blaine was still
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: in two ways. So this was back when they played
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: each other twice a year. There was only four teams
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: and every single game except for one, the road team
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: won when they played each other every single game, so
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: they all basically split with each other, and there was
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: I think there was one Matt one time when it
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: wasn't a split, and I can't it couldn't even tell
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: you which one it was. But but that's just you know,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: it could be one of those things where they all
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: kind of beat each other up, and you know, they
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: all have one conference loss somehow and they all beat
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: each other. I mean, who knows what it's gonna be.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be really exciting, and it's gonna be tough
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: when you're trying to figure out, you know, the round
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: of thirty two and I just can't see. Yes, we're
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: doing the round of thirty two, and I'm extremely thankful
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: for it. But there will be whoever's fourth and fifth,
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: I guarantee you from the Northwest Conference will be better
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: than thirty one and thirty two in this And there's
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: no question about them. So really good job for the
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: border rights forty seven to twenty two win over granted falls.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: So now we turn our attention to the big game
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Lindon at Annacordis. There was a lot of hub ub
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: about this game for good reason, the big game in
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: the state of Washington, not just the Northwest Conference. Two
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: big time programs, you know, three state champions over the
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: last three years between the two teams, a really good,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: healthy rivalry as well. This game was at Anacordis. Kpug
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: was there with their big Friday night show, four hour
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: pre game, all the everything going on, I mean, everything
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: that you could want and and you know, watching this
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: game film is just different than watching all the rest
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: of it. Not just because you know, Lynnon does a
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: great job filming and it's really clear to see and everything,
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: but it's just so fast. It's you know, the hits,
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: the plays, the flying around. It was like watching a
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: college game. It was so incredible just to watch the film.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: I watched it so many times, taking the stats, but
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: also just just to kind of be a fan and
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: watch really good football. I tell you, Brock and Brady Beaner,
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: those guys the way they can how fast they are
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: on the way, they can stop on a dime and
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: move again. I mean, they were making some really good
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: linen players fall over. They're so hard to stop. But
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: at the same time, they would run the ball and
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: they'd go up the middle, and I thought, wow, they
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: contained them pretty good. You know, no game actually it
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: was a pickup of four yards. It's just it's so
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: crazy to see and I don't know, I don't even
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: know how to explain it. But the Antercordus offense is
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: just for real and even when you think you have them,
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: they're picking up a good chunk of yards and that's
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: that's super impressive. I thought Linden did really well running
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: the ball. There was some there was some good things
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: to like Max acinc fourteen carries for fifty yards, and
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: I just thought that there was some good things. I
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: think when Anachordus plays Archbishop or Marysville Pilchuck, I think
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: those two teams will be able to run the ball
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: a little bit on the Seahawks. Now, I don't think
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: they can compete with them in the backfield and stuff
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: like that and on the perimeter, but if they can
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: lean on him a little bit and control the clock
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: and maybe get a turnover here or there. That could
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: spell some trouble for the Seahawks. But I think Anachordus
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: is definitely odds on favorite to win state back to
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: back championships. They looked that good. They won thirty five
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: to twenty one. Now they got off to a hot start,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: scoring two touchdowns early it was almost seven to seven, though,
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: I mean Anacorda scored like on the second play at
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: the game. But when Lindon had the ball, they had
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: a deep ball to Danny Bowler that I mean, I
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: think it grazed his fingertips. If that's caught, that's another touchdown,
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: and that's seven to seven, and we'll see what happens
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: from there on out. Because even though he didn't catch
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: it and they had to punt and Anachordus came down
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: and scored again. After that point, it was even you know,
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: it's twenty it's basically twenty one to twenty one. After
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: that point, Anachordus with that two touchdown lead, they kept
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: that for the rest of the game. Sometimes it was two,
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: sometimes it was three, but ended up winning by three
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: touchdowns or I'm sorry, two touchdowns. So Lynden made some adjustments.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: But boy, it's hard to you know, as coach Van
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Dalen said on the on the pregame show on the radio,
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: it's hard when you have kids that run a five
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: to two trying to, you know, represent what a kid
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: does running a four forward for scout team. It's just different.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: And when you go out there and you play, and again,
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: this Linden defense is very young, and as from what
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: I heard, there were some kids that were sick. There
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: were some really key pieces missing, and but you know,
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: the Lions are not going to give any excuses in
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: the world. They got beat by the better team and
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: so that's just what happens. And you know, I went
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: with the Lions in my pick him. I just had
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: that feeling. But I'm not surprised at all with anachordis winning.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: They are so so dynamic. Brent Hepner not a great
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: completion percentage thirteen out of thirty three, but did throw
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: for two hundred and seventy yards. Sam Morango with a
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: big night, five catches for one hundred and twenty nine
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: yards and two touchdowns. Isaiah Aldmin three catches for ninety
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: six yards and a touchdown. Danny Boler three catches for
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: thirty yards, so still put up some numbers, which is
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: hard to do against Anta Chordis, you know, ask Sea
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Hoomer Bellingham. But but you know, Lindon will bounce back
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: and they're gonna still be a tough beat going on
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: going forward and Ana Chordis, Holy cow, it's a it's
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: a buzzsaw right now. Defensively for Lyndon, you know, there
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: was these tackles were hard to come by just because
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: of how quick the Anachordas backs are. But Malachi Canaan
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: eleven tackles on the day he led the team. Mark
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Williams had eight and a half, Isaiah Albman had eight
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: and a half, So there was a lot of tackles
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: being made. Ana Chordis had the they ran, my goodness,
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: what they run sixty five plays, so they had the
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: ball for a good chunk and they did kind of
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: sit on it a little bit more in the second
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: half to preserve the lead and did some really good things.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: I thought the sophomore quarterback Harrington was on point. It
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: was more accurate than I'd seen him earlier in this year.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: So that's a positive for Ana Chordis, I thought. In
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: the secondary, I thought Jay Noakes and Brody Price played
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: extremely well. They've seen it now, and now that you've
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: seen it, it's easier to be ready for it going
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: going forward. So yeah, so going forward, you know, Linden
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: will be just fine. Anachordus remains undefeated. Linden drops to
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: three and one. We go out to Tomwater High School
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: where Tumwater played Nozach Valley and you know, the Pioneers.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: This was a tough one on the schedule. We talked
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: about it in the last podcast about how finding a
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Week four game was really hard for them, and this
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: is what it ended up with. I mean, even when
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: I posted the game recap, you know, someone posted, someone
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: replied and said, why did they schedule this? Well, sometimes
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: it's either this or no game at all. You want
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: to get a game in. It's it's a tough place
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: for it because it's right before you're going into the
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Northwest Conference play. But Tumwater is for real as well,
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: kind of puller opposite of Anna Chordis. They did play
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: each other for the state championship last year. Tumwater is
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: just gigantic and efficient and their number fifty two on
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: the line. I don't know his name, but You're gonna
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: know his name soon because that guy is I mean,
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: I'm sure Ryland's listening to this, going yeah it's this guy,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: blah blah blah. But I you know, he was really
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: dominant on the line, so strong and physical, and I
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: guarantee that kid will be playing at the next level.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Very very good. Nukzac Valley had some good things happened
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: to them in the first half. A sixty yard touchdown
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: pass from Evan Brown to Cole Coppinger. You know, that
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: combination has really taken off this year. Both backups last year,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: both getting their chance to shine this year and they're
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: taking advantage of it. Cole Bauman also caught a four
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: yard touchdown pass on a nice out route at the
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: end of the game. So Evan Brown with two touchdown passes,
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: ten of eighteen passing for one hundred and twenty four yards.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: A pretty good game against a really good defense. So
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: a lot to like about Evan Brown here the first
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: loss of the year for the Pioneers. Coppinger finishes with
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: four catches for eighty nine yards, Corey only three catches
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: for twenty yards, Bowman two catches for nine yards, and
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: the sophomore tight end, Dane Ackerman had a catch for
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: six yards. Nukzacvalley only ran for thirty yards and the
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: game and Colton Lenz had forty of them, So that
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: tells you kind of how that went. Colton, with sixteen
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: carries for forty yards, was battled up for the most part.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Early did have some longer ones in the third quarter
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: before giving way to Colby Martin who ran the ball
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: five times for fourteen yards. But Tomwater fifty carries for
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: three hundred and eighty nine yards just very machine like.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: Like I said, you know, you're averaging you know, almost
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: eight yards of carry against a very good Nuksack Valley defense.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: But it kind of shows you what the peak of
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: a two A team can do to a very very
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: good one A team. And it's just, you know, like
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: I said on last week's podcast too, I don't think
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Nuksack Valley was afraid or anything. They just they're gonna
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: go in there and play whoever. But the Thunderbirds were
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: just that much better and it showed forty nine to
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: twelve the final on the scoreboard in that one down
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: at Tumwater High School. Go up to Sultan Now where
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Mount Baker traveled to Sultan and this one again. Mount
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: Baker is one of those teams that has gotten better
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: every single week as far as just looking sharper and
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: things are going in the right direction. Much like Blaine
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: picking up the shutout win here forty five to zero.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: It's you know, Mount Baker is It's someone said to me,
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Baker's back, and I was like, yeah, absolutely. Last year
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: was just kind of an off year, kind of an anomaly.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: First time in over ten years they did not make
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: the state tournament. And yes, Baker is back. Looked really
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: good running the ball early Brady Bruland with an eleven
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: yard touchdown, very very early. And then right after that,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: Luke Smith throws it deep for Darius Gilstrap, the very
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: athletic wide receiver. See him on the basketball court, see
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: him doing long jump and javeling different things like that,
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: and he hauls it in for a forty two yard
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: touchdown pass so that you know, you gotta respect that pass.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: And Baker they will throw the hitches and stuff like that,
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: but they will go deep too, and more than you know,
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: You're just as much, i should say, as any other team.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: For a team that doesn't throw very much, they do
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: not shy away from throwing the deep ball, and maybe
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: it's because they run so much that it's that effective.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: Coach Lepp knows what he's doing and he's been doing
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: it for such a long time that he can see
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: tendencies and he just goes with a gut feeling and
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: calls it when it's needed and it tends to work out.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: It did in this case. Dila Moa then ripped off
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: a couple of touchdown runs that were on the shorter
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: version of them. Luke Smith with another deep touchdown pass,
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: this time to Sean Dugger from forty six yards out.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: Mount Baker always seems to have that kind of scatback
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: wing back guy that can be split out wide, even
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: going back to Aiden Rodriguez and Kobe Malone and all
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: these different guys that can take the handoffs and sweep
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: around but that are dangerous in the receiving game, and
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Sean Dugger fits that mold perfectly. He's been doing great
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: job this year. Dila Moa picks up his third touchdown
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: of the touchdown run of the game in the third quarter,
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: and then later in the third quarter, still holding onto
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: the shutout, Enoch Smith, the freshman kicker, kicks a nineteen
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: yard field goal, and you know, it was it was
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: cool to see that because a lot of teams, you know,
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: you don't see a nineteen yard field goal very much
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: in high school football. And what I mean by that is,
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: you know you're inside the three and its fourth and
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: goal most likely, you know ninety percent of the time,
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: you're just going to go for it. But I really
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: like what coach did there going for the field goal.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: You know, it's it's an extra point basically, you know,
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: put those shirt points up. You know, Baker's had some
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: really good kickers over the years, and you could build
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: confidence in a young freshman like that that yeah, we will,
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: we will go for field goals and we will make them.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: That's only going to help him for down the road.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: With how tough the one A Conference is going to
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: be this year, there will be games that will come
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: down to field goals. There's just no doubt about that.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: And for him to have one under his belt like that,
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: albeit a nineteen yard er, I tell you what, that
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: can instill a lot of confidence. So that was really
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: cool to see Dylo Mo with another one hundred plus
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: yard performance four straight now to begin the year. Twelve
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: carries for one hundred and one yards. Brady Bruland and
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Bryce Cooper each had eight carries for almost the same
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: amount of yards. Bruland with fifty seven yards, Cooper with
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: fifty five. Sean Dugger three carries for thirty two yards.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: Mount Baker's still averaging almost, you know, eight nine yards
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: a carry on the season. The Mount Baker offensive line
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: doing a great, great job that they've solidified their guys.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: You know, when you have five that you can depend
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: on every week, that's a huge thing. They also got
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: their tight end back Caden Moser, which allows Jet Ross
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: to split out wide. He can become a mismatch problem.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of things to like here with this
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: Mount Baker offense. Even even Toga Toga Tigolau was active
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: for this game, played quarterback in the second half, so
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: that's good to see him back out there. You know,
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: everyone's starting to get healthy at just the right time,
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: and how valuable it can be to have a backup
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: quarterback with that kind of experience. Luke Smith doing really
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: well with the two touchdown passes this past week, but
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: Mount Baker looking fantastic with the shutout win here sophomore
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: Noah Nicole Mills. I loved what he did. Super active.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: Has been playing a lot of defensive end this year.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's his, you know, natural position. I
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: think he's a linebacker, but they've been needing defensive ends
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: and he is filled in. And he had six tackles,
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: two tackles for lost, a force fumble. Just a really
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: active player. Reminds me a lot of Vance Lawrence when
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: Vance was a sophomore. Nicole Mills just a sophomore. So
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: I think that, you know, there's going to be a
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: very similar parallel here, although I believe Mills will probably
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: be a running back on the offensive side where Vance
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Lawrence was a center. So but I really liked what
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: he did. Cayden Moser as well, back playing. He's another
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: defensive end that can rely on. Had back to back
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: sacks which forced a punt for Sultan to get the
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: ball back really quickly. Dylan Moa had interception, Jet Ross
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: had an interception. You know, the defenses coming together and
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: Coach Horsman really always drawing up some fun things. You'll
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: see corner blitzes, you'll see all sorts of crazy stuff
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: where boy and he'll laugh because he knows exactly what
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: I'm what I'm talking about. When we played back in
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: the day, I mean, it was forty two cover three,
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: ready break. I mean that seemed like that was the
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: defense we did all the time, and and nowadays it's
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: just so different, especially with the offenses that you're facing.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: And Mount Baker always seems to have those tweener guys
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: that you know, play linebacker but also can cover a
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: slot receiver. You know, you're talking like the Brady Brulin
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: type of players that are you know, strong enough to
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: stop the run, but are quick enough to play the pass.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: And so you know, you think about the Jeremiah Leees
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: in the past and guys like that. It's just, you know,
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: even the even Jed Schlimer was a perfect example of
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: a guy that could play a safety or play an
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: outside linebacker, even at his size. So Mount Baker goes
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: to four and oh with the forty five zero win
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: over Sultan. They will begin conference play hosting Nukxac Valley
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: on Friday. That's gonna be a fantastic game. We're gonna
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: go to Mount Vernon a little bit of a surprise.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: I think if you asked most people, Mount Vernon comes
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: into the game without a win. Ferndale dropped a couple
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: of heartbreakers early before taking it out on Marysville Getchell
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: in Week three. But they go into this game, and
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: you know, on Friday nights, I'm getting scores and I'm
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: doing things, and I'm kind of relaying scores around and
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: and two different people to the radios, to the radio guys,
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: and this score, the score in this game just kept
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: boggling me because it was close all the way throughout.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: Mount Vernon scores the first touchdown on a deep pass,
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: and that's been kind of the achilles Heel with the
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: Golden Eagles. They've allowed some deep touchdown passes this year,
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: a little more than usual. Again, it's a lot of
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: new guys in the secondary, where the experienced one is
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: probably Zach Nielsen, but he's kind of playing that rover
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: spot where he's not really out on an island and
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: not playing so much in the deep third as much
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: as he used to when he was a sophomore. Plus
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: he took a year off football, So it is a
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: lot of new faces back there in the secondary, and
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: Mount Vernon took advantage of it early, but Ferndale answered
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: right back with the fourteen yard touchdown pass from Nolan
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: Boliac to Eli Kennerley. And that's been a really good
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: combination all year. Bolliac is he's got a good arm
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: and when he throws with confidence, he can really zip
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: it in there. And Kennerley has been a great, great
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: weapon for him. So that tied the game. Mount Vernon
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: then scores on another touchdown pass and they go into
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: halftime with a fourteen to seven lead, and that's It
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: was just kind of weird when I was reporting scores
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: and different things, and I just thought, man, I know
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: it's at Mount Vernon, but come on, I did not
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: expect this. But I tell you what, when you play
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: against Ferndale, you get up for that game regardless, it
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter. And so and these are still these are
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: still sixteen seventeen year old kids out there. You know,
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: you never really know what's going to happen. And the
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: Bulldogs have some athletes. There's no denying that they have size.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: They have athletes, they have speed, and when they can
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: put it all together, they can do some damage. And
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: every time there'd be a fifty to fifty type player,
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: the ball would bounce a certain way. It always seemed
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: to kind of go towards Mount Vernon and they were
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: capitalizing on it. Ferndale came back in the third quarter
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: on a fourth and three from their own forty seven,
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: they go for it, give the ball to talent Bunguard
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: runs for a fifty three yard touchdown. Really got the
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: Ferndale side going. Lincoln Thomas's kick ties the game, and
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: uh so that was that was pretty huge. That was
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: early on. And then on their next possession, uh Nolan
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: Bolliac throws a fifty eight yard touchdown pass to Eli Kennerley.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: So another big, big play, Bulliac to Kennerley touchdown. Ferndale
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: now takes their first lead of the game. That was
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: short lived, I mean moments later. Ensuing kickoff, the Bulldogs
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: return at ninety two yards for a touchdown and then
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: the extra point ties it up again. You go into
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: the fourth quarter with it tied twenty one to twenty one.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: Both defenses kind of clamp up a little bit, play
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: some really good d and all of a sudden end
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: of regulation and it's twenty one twenty one going into overtime.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: Ferndale gets the ball first. You know, I think that
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: I think most coaches would want the ball second. I'm
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: sure you know even you know, I'm not saying they
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: chose to go first, but that's how it ended up
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: because then you kind of know what you have to do.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: And Ferndale had the ball first, and they just drove
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: right down and punched it in talent bung guard with
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: a touchdown run I think it. Thomas makes the extra point,
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: which is huge in overtime because then you know, you know,
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: they don't if you know, because then an extra point
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: for on their side can win it. So then Mount
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: Vernon has the ball, they get a first down right away.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: But after that, now you're in that kind of weird
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: spot where you know you don't have a lot of
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: field to play with, and all of a sudden, Ferndale's defense,
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: you know, when they can't spread out the field, you
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: can you can play a little better defense there, and
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: they made some plays. All of a sudden, it's fourth
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: it's fourth down, incomplete pass, and that's the game. And
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: that's what's you know, that's what's huge about getting that
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: touchdown right off the bat and Ferndale, who led for
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't know, ten seconds, and the entire
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: game ends up winning the game twenty eight to twenty
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: one in overtime. Talan Bungard with another monstrous performance twenty
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: five carries for one hundred and seventy one yards, the
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: two touchdowns, including the game winner in overtime. Eli Kennerley
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: six carries for thirty eight yards, Zach Nielsen six carries
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: for twenty yards. Jacob Gandy had a couple carries three
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: carries for nineteen yards, including a fake punt, which was
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: a great, great play. I mean, you have a guy
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: back there that's athletic like that. Yeah, it was a
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: good play, and I you know, I honestly I cannot
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: remember if it was a fake punt or if it
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: was a low snap, mishandled snap. But he got a
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: first down out of it, and that's what counts. Nolan
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: Boliac four for nine passing for eighty two yards did
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: have the two touchdown passes, both the Eli Kennerley, who
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: finished with three catches for seventy three yards. So Ferndale
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: escapes with the win. Doesn't matter how you get it,
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: it's that you get it. So that's another huge one
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: because that's a Northwest Conference game. Golden Eagles come out
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: on top on that one defensively, Jacob Gandy thirteen tackles,
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: another tack for loss. He's just been a monster all
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: year shooting through the gap and such a sure handed tackler,
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: so strong you with that wrestling background, is just really
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: really impressive. Tallon bung guard again over at defensive end
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: now making plays, five and a half tackles, two tackles
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: for loss, pass broken up right in the quarterback's face
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: where it looked like he had the sack. Ryder Bevans
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: another player that's really impressed me coming on as of late,
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: doing big time stuff on special teams making tackles, but
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: when he gets in on defense making plays. He had
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: eight tackles on the game, including a tackle for loss.
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: So and Lincoln Thomas White straight also getting in on
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: a lot of plays on the defensive side of the ball.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: So yep, good things to like for Ferndale. Another win
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: for them and they jump. They go to two and
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: two now on the year, two and one in Northwest
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: Conference play or I'm sorry, Northwest Conference play West CO
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: three A north. I keep saying that maybe someday they'll
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: come back down. We'll just have to see. Although Ferndale's growing,
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: as I look outside my window right now, and and
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, we'll just have to wait and see. So
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: that was the last game on Friday. We jumped to Saturday.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: Now as we go to Saturday afternoon, lynd and Christian
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: hosting Lakeside of nine Mile Falls. That's the long road
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: trip for the Eagles, and and uh Linn and Christian.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: They were without all this Owen. So you got your
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: starting running back, starting inside linebacker out. So what do
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: they do. They go to mick Owen running back. And
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: I think they made a real effort to get that
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: running game going. That's been the one thing that's been
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: tough for them, and uh and they and they did it.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: I thought they did a fantastic job. They ran the
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: ball thirty nine times in this game. And that tells
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: me a lot because I know, I know coach Turfter
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: wants to throw the ball. I get it. But when
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: you when you're playing with a lead, you can run
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: the ball a little bit. And they did that. Mick
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: Owen had three touchdown runs early and to kind of
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: set the tone there at a couple of short runs
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: in one long run of twenty three yards. They scored
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: four touchdowns themselves just in the second quarter alone, thanks
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: to three interceptions on the game, And so that was
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: just every time, you know, and I'm watching the game
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: on NFAHS taking stats for it as I'm taking stats
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: for another game, watching film during halftime and quarter breaks
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: and timeouts and stuff like that. So I'm jumping back
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: and forth, and boy, every time I looked up, somebody
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: else got an interception. Jade and Hooliett had an interception,
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: Sam Penner and Gunnard to cost So three interceptions in
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: the second quarter alone, all of them lead to touchdowns.
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: Late in the second quarter, Eli Mayberry threw a couple
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: of touchdown passes, one to Trey Bosman and one to
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: Boyce Robertson, covering thirty four and forty yards respectively. So yeah,
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: just a really really strong performance again by the Links.
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: Get back into the wind, call Um, and uh, you know,
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: huge for them because it's just been a it's been
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: a tough schedule to go two and two, to be honest,
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: to go two and two with that non conference schedule
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: says a lot. You know, they got one more non
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: conference game later and it's at Civic against Seahomes, So
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: I mean that's no slouch either. That's seah Home will
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: probably be favored in that one. But the links looked
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: really good. I really liked what I saw at a
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: Mick Owen running the ball twenty one times for seventy
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: four yards and the three touchdowns. Really really cool to see.
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, I knew he had it in him. I mean,
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: he's built so well he can take the pounding, and
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: it went great. They were without Dawson Heinz in that game,
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: so Jackson Huiot was starting at corner. They had different
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: guys returning the ball, so you know they have the athletes.
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: You know you're missing an athlete, you can always plug
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: one in and do some pretty good things. Eli Eli
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: Mayberry twenty four of thirty passing for two hundred and
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: eighty yards and the three touchdowns is twenty four completions,
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: broke the school record. It was held by a few
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: guys Isaac Remer, Trajan Scouting, and Jeremiah Wright, who all
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: had twenty two in a game. Eli mary Berry, now
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: with twenty four in a game, really really impressive there. Yeah,
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: just such a such an accurate passer and such a
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: great grasp of the offense. And I know that coach
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: Turpstra who really loves offense, and you can see things
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: kind of happen, and he can draw plays up, doing
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: a really good job of using his team's strength of
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: different receivers and see what Mayberry can do well and
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: then always you know, kind of calling out that right
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: play to make it happen. And they've been executing extremely
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: well better every single week. So big time offensive output
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: for the Links. Defensively against the run did awesome Lakeside
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: twenty six carries for eleven yards in that game, and
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: then with the three interceptions. Great overall play by the
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: Links defensively receiving Boyce Robertson another huge game six catches
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: for one hundred and thirty three yards and the touchdown
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: Trey Blair six catches for forty one yards. And all
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: my thoughts and prayers and wishes are going out to
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: mister Blair right now. He suffered an injury, got moved
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: to Harbor View. I was in touch with him late
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: last night. He seems to be in pretty good spirits,
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: so I just wanted to say, you know publicly that
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: I'm you know, all my thoughts are with him, because
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: he's just a great young kid. He had probably his
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: best game of his varsity career before getting hurt. And
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: you know, I know he's done for the year. I
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: hope to see him at some point, maybe during basketball season.
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: He's just a junior. So yeah, I just want to
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: you know, I just I just want to say I'm
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: thinking about your buddy, and hope you get better soon.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: And and I know I know that you will and
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: I'll be able to see again soon. So yeah, this
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: was This was a huge win for the Links. So
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: many different receivers got in the mix. One two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: Nine different receivers caught a pass that is that's a
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: coach Turp Straw offense right there. Baby. And uh, it
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: just all these all these one A teams, I tell
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: you what, It's just just crazy going into the conference play.
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: Holy cow. I you know, I was talking to someone
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: the other day where all five teams just write all
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: five teams on a piece of paper and turn them over,
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: move them around, and then you could just turn them
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: over and just place them one, two, three, four five
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: wherever you want, and I'd be like, yeah, I could
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: see that. I mean it is until you start playing
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: each other, it's going to be really hard for me
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: to say that this team is obviously better than this team.
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: I just, you know, going into the season, I thought, okay,
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: you got Nooksack clearly ahead of everybody. But the way
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: that everyone else has played so well, especially recently, you know,
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: it's a lot tighter than we think, so especially one
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: to five. So it's gonna be awesome going into conference play.
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: And that's that's the best part about this season for
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: me anyways. And I love when that teams play each
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: other in so far, I mean, this is crazy. In
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: four weeks, in four weeks of football, we've had one
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: game in Walkham County where it was at Walking County
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: versus Walkam County in four weeks and that was Lyndon Ferndale.
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: That was three weeks ago. So it's gonna be a
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: lot different this upcoming week when teams start playing each other,
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: and it's gonna make my job a heck of a
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: lot easier. But and I just love it when they
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: play each other because it's just because I know every
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: single kid, and I know these coaches, and I know
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: their game plans and I can see it unfold and
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: I'm you know, I don't know what else to say.
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: I'm living my dream. I love it. Let's go, let's
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: move on a little bit. Lenna Christian big win forty
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: nine to fourteen on Saturday over Lakeside nine mile falls
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: huge for them. Saturday night, I found myself at Civic
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: Stadium once again. No, I did not stay the night there.
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: I headed back out there to see them take on
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: the Lakewood Cougars. And second week in a row me
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: seeing Lakewood in person two at Civic Stadium. And yeah,
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: they got weapons and stuff like that. But I tell you,
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: if they get down early, it just it just doesn't
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: really work for them. It's hard for them to come
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: back for some reason. But Squalicum looked great, especially right
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: out of the shoot. I mean, they get the opening kickoff,
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: they have four first down plays in a row, and
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: then score a touchdown on a thirty five yard pass
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: from Cole Burke to Anson Osby Ornson. And you know,
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: you can't ask for anything better than that. You get,
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: you know, you're running plays, you're having passing plays, and
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: then you score touchdown. Boom. Every single play was a
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: first down. Then you got your touchdown and that was it.
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: The kick was missed. It was wide right, which is rare.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: For Slade Kaiser, but it happened, and six nothing going
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: in the second quarter, very similar to the earlier game
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: from Saturday. You score four touchdowns in the second quarter,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: and instead of three interceptions that led to him, there
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: was one big time interception that happened. And we'll get
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: to that in just a second. But Malachi Smith with
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: a two yard touchdown. Run the play that I love.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: And they ran this couple of years ago when Marcus
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: Nixon was a running back. Of course he played quarterback
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: last year, but now with him back at running back,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: you know, it's the Marshall Falk play where you run,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: you know, there's all these routes, but you got Marcus
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: Nixon from the half back spot basically just kind of
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: just kind of running a wheel. But you're kind of
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: down the scene and and it just, you know, you
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: what are you gonna do. You're gonna put a linebacker
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: on him or something. It just it's not gonna work
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: if the safety is not playing back on his own.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: And Cole Burke, who by all accounts is extremely accurate,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: he can put it on the money. It's going to
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: be a touchdown. It was forty nine yard touchdown pass
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: from Burke to Nixon that put them up by three touchdowns,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: and then on the next possession lake Woo's throwing the ball.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: Anson Osbijornsen with his second interception of the game, takes
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: fifty one yards to the house, and you know by
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: that point it's it's it's getting put on pretty well.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: They did score. With eleven seconds left until halftime, Cole Burke,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: with a quick swing out pass to Malachi Smith, scored
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: his second touchdown of the quarter to give them the
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: thirty three zero lead at the half. In the third quarter,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: Squalk them had the ball, they're driving, they get to
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: a fourth down, they call time out. They're on the
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: twenty nine yard line, so it's you know, you're in
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: go for it territory. They go to the wildcat formation.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: You got Mark Snixon taking the snap, which of course
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: he did a few hundred times last year, so he's
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: used to it. You got Joachin Ortiz coming emotion. You
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: got Malachi Smith in the backfield. That's a lot of
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: stuff to defend. And when you know you do it,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: you drought up just right and the lineman block Marcus
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: Nixon pulls the ball, keeps himself and runs untouched for
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: a twenty nine yard touchdown, and it just to be frank,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: it just wasn't fair. Big time run on that play
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: puts them up forty to nothing, activates the running clock.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: Lake what scores a couple of touchdowns in the fourth quarter,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: but really good things for squalk them there. Nixon hits
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: the one hundred yard mark on the button on that
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: last touchdown. Russ Run also reached over career career two
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: thousand yards rushing surpassed that in the game. Cole Burke
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: extremely accurate, Like I said earlier, sixteen of twenty passing
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: for two hundred and three yards, also did have the
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: three touchdown passes, did throw an interception, but very very accurate.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: Osby Ornson five catches for eighty one yards at the
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: touchdown catch plus the pick six two interceptions on the game.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: Lachy Fungatua three catches for twenty six yards, including a dynamic,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: you know, backwards turning one handed grab where it looked
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: like there was no way he was gonna catch it.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: And you know, when a kid has that much athletic
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: ability and just everything going for him, you know, it's
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: pretty scary. So especially when he's on the defensive side
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: of the ball, my goodness. But offensively as a tight end,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: I mean he's got great, great hands. He's just a
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: he's a mismatch problem and he can block too.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: Jakie Ortiz with three more catches for twenty two yards,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: and they did get the ball out to a bunch
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: of other players who had one catch each.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: Defensively, I mean Osby Ornson with the two interceptions. The
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: one pick six was huge. Malachi Smith as always always
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: has a pretty good game defensively, five tackles, had a sack,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: had a fumble recovery. Jacob Clark, who's a backup outside linebacker,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: played some nose tackle, did some kick, did some kicking off.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: Did you know? Squal COM's known to do this where
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: you find a guy that just needs to get in
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: there somehow, they usually just put him in at nose
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: tackle and so, and he's quick and he can make plays.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: He had three and a half tackles. He had a
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: sack of forced fumble. So that was really really cool
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: to see. When a guy is playing a new position
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: and adapts to it quickly and does well, that's awesome
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: to see. And Marcus Nixon not only getting it done
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: on the offensive side of the ball, but also defensively
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: for four tackles, one tackle for loss, and a forced fumble.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: They're rolling pretty good. And like you know, I've talked
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: to some people, I said, this is this is the squalkum.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: I know this is a squalkum I remember, very similar
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: to Mount Baker kind of where last year they had
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: a down year. But it looks like they're starting to
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: come back to the team that we know, and it's
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: awesome to see that around the county with different teams
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: when yeah, they take a step back, but you know,
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: this year's it's a little bit better. I mean every
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: team last year lost three games, at least every team did,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: and every team won at least three games. So you're
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: had a lot of teams kind of in the middle there,
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: and I think the win loss record overall for walking
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: count of teams is better than it was last year.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: And we'll just have to see how that can continue
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: throughout this upcoming conference play. Obviously it'll drop down when
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: they're playing each other and stuff like that, and how
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: many teams we can get into the postseason. But that's
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: your final game of the weekend. Squalicum beating Lake with
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: forty to twelve, going to three and one on the season,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: so they're gonna go over to the pickums here. And
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: it was pretty darn good week with multiple people Coach Wood, Ryland,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: our guest, Kevin Beeson, and jo consensus all going ten
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: and oher this past week. So I don't recall that
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: ever happening, especially that many people doing it. It was
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: rare that we have a ten game week anyways, except
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: for this year for some reason. And so they all
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: had a huge week. So Joe still leads at thirty
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: three and six. Coach Wood and Ryland and the guests
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: are thirty two and seven on the year. I went
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: nine and one. I picked Linnen to win. I was
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: wrong on that one. So I go to thirty one
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: and eight, just one game behind those three, and Michaelae
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: went eight and two. She picked Linden to win, and
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: she picked Linden Christian to lose, So she goes down
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: to twenty nine and ten, So she's got a little
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: bit of work to do. Four games behind the leader,
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: three games behind the other two, and two games behind me,
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: so she's gonna have a little bit of work to do.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: I think she was a little nervous making doing just
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: being in the pick them this year, but she's doing
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: a great job. Out of thirty nine games, she's won
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: twenty nine up, she's gotten twenty nine picks, right, so,
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: uh so, yeah, so that's that's the pick them. It's
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: been it's been pretty tight all year, and uh you know,
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: we'll just see how it goes from here on out
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: and that now, these next weeks are gonna be really
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: tough to pick, especially with these teams starting to play
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: each other in the one A Northwest Conference. So from
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: here we go to our players of the week, and
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: we'll start with the Phoenix Coffee Offensive Player of the Week.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: Phoenix Coffee is located at eleven bell weather Way, Sweet
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: one oh four in Bellingham, Washington. You can give them
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: a call at three six zero seven five one zero
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: five zero. And the Phoenix Coffee Offensive Player of the
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: Week is senior wide receiver Andre Watson, who just you
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: know you we heard about it in the coach's corner.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: He seems to put up pretty darn good numbers every week,
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: but had a lot of yards this week, scored three touchdowns.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: Of course, you had the big interception at the end
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: of the game. To seal it. But this is just offense.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: Nine catches for one hundred and sixty six yards and
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: three touchdowns. Another tremendous performance for Andre Juice Watson. Uh
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: and uh, you're gonna turn that juice into coffee here
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: because Andre Watson is your Phoenix Coffee Offensive Player of
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: the Week. Now we go to the max Are Studio
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: Defensive Player of the week. Max Are Studio is located
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: in Bellis Fair Mall and it's it's it's right next
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: to the video game store. I'm trying to remember what
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: video game store that is, but man, been there many times. Uh.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: Max Air Studio awesome place. You can reach them at
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: three six zero six seven to one sixteen twenty seven.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: They're at Bells Fair Mall right there in Bellingham. And
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: the Max Air Defensive Studio Player of the Week is
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: another Sea Home player, Fisher Hall. We talked about him
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: also in the Coach's Corner, but he put up huge
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: numbers thirteen and a half tackles, three and a half
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: tackles for loss and a quarterback sack, makes a lot
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: of plays on special teams as well. Just a very
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: very there's always those players that I know of and
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: then once the season comes in, they just they just
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: impress the my socks off, you know, so to speak.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: I mean they just every single week, they just they
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: just play so hard and so well. And that's the
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: beautiful thing about when juniors become seniors sometimes and they're
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: given a chance and they can just make some incredible
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: things happen. So I love seeing that. Fisher Hall, the
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: senior linebacker from Sea Home, is your Max Hair Studio

• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: pets Real Estate Special Teams Player of the Week. Pet's

  Speaker 2: And the Player of the Week is for the second
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: time this year, Enoch Smith of Mount Baker, the freshman
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: kicker six of six on extra points, nineteen yard field goal.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: I believe he even had a couple of touchbacks kicking off.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: He's in line to break some serious records kicking because
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: once you have a four year kicker, that really helps
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: the dynamic offense really helps. And also what helps is
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: is coach lep is not shy about going for field
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: goals and so all those things combined with a kicker
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: that you can depend on, that's huge. So Enoch Smith,
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: the freshman kicker from Mount Baker is your Pets Real

• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: in the county. And he was the lone returner this year.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: So you had a lot of new guys and at
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: Lynnic Christian seems to do this a lot where when
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: they finally settle on their guys, they end up having
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: to change jersey numbers on a few kids because you
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: get these big skill kids that they're like, you know what,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: you're kind of the best fit for this position. You're

• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: pushed towards running the ball here in this game. It

• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: point eight for him. He's starting to really pull away. Now.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: I thought I could start getting him on the defense. Here,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: I have the Meridians defense and scored me fourteen points.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: They've been getting turnovers all year. They scored another defensive touchdown,

• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: coming back a little bit front. Seven, I got Blake

  Speaker 2: Kureski scores me fourteen points. That's really good. He had
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: Fisher Hall going the defensive player of the week. Scored
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: him thirty three points. And I know Ryland's listening to
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: him right now, going yeah, baby, yeah, baby, with some
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: cops and different things. And I tell you Fisher Hall
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: at picking Fisher Hall, Ryland Fisherman's friend in Hall's I'm
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: telling you it's right there in the name. Just take him,
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: you'll be fine. Back seven, I picked Hunter Callaway got
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: me four points. The sophomore corner from Squalkum. I tell
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: you they just did not go his way for good reason.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: I get it. Ryland went with Colby Ship from Blaine,
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: scored him twelve points. Kicker wise, I had Enoch Smith,
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: who scored me nine thanks Coach Lepp did a good
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: job with that. Kicking The field goal got me nine points.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: Ryland had Slade Kaiser, the kicker from Squalicum scored him

  Speaker 2: four again. Riland with one hundred and ninety seven point
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: seven points, I scored one hundred and fifty six point eight.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: It has to be our largest combined score ever. And
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: he's still and he still got me by forty one points.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: So uh so Ryland evens it up at two and two. Unbelievable,
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: you know. And that's what makes it fun. When we
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: could stay, you know, pretty even with each other throughout
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: the year. There's been years where he was up like eight,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: eight and one over me or something. You know, it's like, well, geez,
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: do we keep playing? Or what I think he got me?
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: He was eight and four against me last year, So
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: that makes it rough. And when it starts to get
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: like that, we need teams to keep playing in the
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: playoffs so we can still we can keep on picking
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: teams and it's been it's been a lot of fun.
