• 1:48
  you'll have a nugget. I mean it's a it's a it's a recap nugget.
• 1:51
  We don't usually have a lot of recap nuggets. That's true. Well
• 1:53
  we've got a recap nugget, yeah, Tyler. Before we go even any
• 1:57
  further, though, we need to give a thank you too. Kurt Mayberry

• 2:38
  because yeah, it's gonna be kind of funny. That being said,
• 2:43
  Tyler, we have ten games to talk about. You were out at what
• 2:46
  one, two, three, four games? Coach Wood will be around for
• 2:52
  Coaches Corner with Seahome in Burlington Edison from Friday night and then I was gonna
• 2:59
  come up with a name for myself, but I got nothing, Tyler.
• 3:00
  I was at the Blaine Cedar Park Christian game on Saturday at my old stopping
• 3:06
  grounds, which Andy Olsen called the Hallowed Grounds, which I mean, you
• 3:12
  know, when I show up, it's kind of a big thing. When
• 3:15
  I show up to my old stopping grounds there, it's a real big thing,
• 3:19
  especially because it was raining and not gonna lie. I was really tired.
• 3:22
  But that being said, Tyler, we got ten games to talk about
• 3:25
  and we're gonna start with a Thursday game. One Thursday game this week,
• 3:29
  right, yes, okay, one Thursday game and that was out at Civic
• 3:34
  Stadium. South Wildby came to town to take on the Bellingham BayHawks and Bellingham
• 3:39
  Tyler, we had talked about it. They had yet to really put together
• 3:44
  a complete game. And I'll tell you what they went. You know,
• 3:46
  one hundred and thirty two pitch Randy Johnson, complete game on this one right,
• 3:52
  ninety five pitch Greg Maddox. You know they went. They went the
• 3:55
  distance here, fifty three to six. As a matter of fact, Tyler,
• 4:00
  and you know this, it was fifty three nothing before South Whitby even
• 4:04
  got on the board. Yeah, it was. It was a complete game.
• 4:12
  I mean it was dominance. It was crazy too, because last year's
• 4:15
  game was fifty four to nine the other way. So wow, that's a
• 4:18
  pretty big swing in one year's time. And I know South would we had
• 4:24
  a lot of speed on their team last year, and maybe they lost a
• 4:26
  lot of guys, but it was exciting to see them, you know,
• 4:30
  do what they do in the first half and play really well. And then
• 4:33
  and they were up twenty one, I mean two weeks ago they were up
• 4:36
  twenty one nothing at halftime and lost. So it was there's kind of still
• 4:41
  that kind of eerie feeling in the air, like everyone's kind of holding their
• 4:45
  breath, and they just exploded in the third quarter and put all that to
• 4:47
  bed. It was so funny because Thursday night, when I ended up,
• 4:50
  you know, telling the stats and writing the story and I published it before
• 4:54
  I went to bed Friday or Thursday night, someone had commented and it just
• 5:00
  said were they leading it halftime? And and I'm an idiot and I don't
• 5:05
  get the joke. And I'm like, yeah, they were up twenty one
• 5:08
  nothing, and she's like it was a joke. And I'm like, oh,
• 5:11
  that's pretty good because that's been the case. Like, you know,
• 5:15
  it's just it's oh they won, were they leading? It happen and it
• 5:18
  was. There was a lot of great plays out there throwing the ball.
• 5:24
  You know. They got a new kid, senior Wyatt Stephen out there,
• 5:28
  and he is to say he's fast as an understatement. He won gold on
• 5:32
  the hundred meter almost every race he ran last spring and track a sub eleven
• 5:38
  second hundred meter dash. One of the fastest kids in Bellingham High School history
• 5:43
  as far as track goes, and uh, and it converted to football.
• 5:46
  You sometimes you never know if it will or not. It truly did.
• 5:50
  He even had a reverse called back, which is one of the best runs
• 5:55
  I'd ever seen. It almost looked like the beast Quake play a little bit
• 6:00
  where he was like in like a scrum and came out and with seven guys
• 6:02
  and he just took off and he had some great players. And I just
• 6:05
  had to make sure I got a picture of him after the game because this
• 6:09
  is his first firsty game ever and he he went off. You know,
• 6:13
  Josh Leonard thrown for as many yards as he did, second most in school
• 6:15
  history. Josh Toll with twelve catches that ties a school record that the last
• 6:20
  time of twelve catches by a Bellingham player was in nineteen eighty. Wow,
• 6:25
  I mean it was. It's so it's uh, a lot of things happened.
• 6:29
  You know, Jordan's Stone with two touchdowns on defense, first time that's
• 6:31
  ever happened in school history. So you're talking about a lot of uh,
• 6:35
  you know, first here for Bellingham and first winning the season, and it
• 6:39
  was a huge. Yeah, I'm looking over the box score here, Tyler,
• 6:44
  we've got two touchdowns from Josh Toll, two touchdowns from Jordan's Stone,
• 6:48
  two touchdowns from Wyatt. Stephen. There's a Stephen. I think it's I
• 6:54
  think it's Stephen. Okay, Tyler Frost and Gay van Hofwagen. What's up,
• 6:59
  guys? You got one and those guys usually put him in a few
• 7:02
  times. Yeah, yeah, I mean the theme of the night was two,
• 7:05
  and those guys didn't quite get the memo. I mean, this is
• 7:08
  unbelievable. The numbers here, Tyler, four hundred and forty yards of offense
• 7:13
  for Bellingham, one hundred and sixty nine for South Whidby. By the way,
• 7:16
  you're and it's not your fault, but the stat sheet with s W
• 7:21
  and then Sedro Wooly a little bit later s W really thrown me off here.
• 7:25
  I've almost called them Sedro Wooley about nine times. But yeah, Tyler
• 7:30
  Frost even you know, just the one touchdown, but seven carries for fifty
• 7:33
  four yards, that's a like, yeah, well, we'll take that all
• 7:38
  night. Josh Leonard twenty three of thirty three hundred and fifty five yards passing
• 7:45
  Tyler, My goodness, you mentioned Josh Tolds twelve receptions one hundred and eighty
• 7:49
  three yards. The new guy, Oh Wyatt over here, what's the Wyatt
• 7:55
  earp if you will? Six catches one hundred and forty seven yards. Welcome
• 7:59
  to the show, kid, I mean, my goodness. And then uh,
• 8:01
  you know, Gay van Holfwag and he chips in with four catches for
• 8:05
  twenty seven and as I mentioned, a nine yard touchdown pass. So I
• 8:09
  mean, wow, what a night, Tyler. We got to talk a
• 8:11
  little bit really quickly about Jordan's Stone. First off, Who the heck is
• 8:16
  Jordan's Stone? Fifty three yard interception return and a three yard fumble recovery.
• 8:20
  This just doesn't happen all that often. But we're gonna talk about another guy
• 8:24
  that did something similar later today. But my goodness to two of them there.
• 8:28
  I love it. Yeah, they both came, you know late,
• 8:31
  they both came in the second half. He's a really you would be really
• 8:33
  intrigued with this guy player. He's about six two, two hundred ten pounds
• 8:37
  outside linebacker, just a sophomore, built really well. He stored a touchdown
• 8:43
  earlier in the year playing running back wearing number fifty four. I love it.
• 8:48
  They just put him in the backfield, give them the ball and watch
• 8:50
  him plow three everybody. It's he's a he's a really intriguing player. And
• 8:56
  after the game, I went down on the sideline and I made sure I
• 8:58
  got a picture of him with holding two footballs out out in front of him,
• 9:03
  uh, symbolizing the the two defensive touchdowns that that that that he scored.
• 9:07
  Uh. He is uh. He hits hard and he's a great,
• 9:11
  great player. There was a lot of I mean that to do that is
• 9:16
  unbelievable. And on the fumble recovery, you know, it was a snap
• 9:18
  that went over the quarterback's head, so of course it's a jail break.
• 9:22
  Everyone's going going going crazy, and instead of going for the ball, he
• 9:26
  goes after the quarterback and just throws the quarterback on the ground to make sure
• 9:30
  he doesn't recover it. And he just picked it up and scored the touchdown.
• 9:33
  It was pretty he's just a man out there. And then but the
• 9:37
  fifty three yard interception returned for a touchdown. That was a great play because
• 9:39
  he's out on the flat. He's a good athlete and he showed great speed
• 9:43
  on that. The ball Hawk the ball Hawk Bayhawk Owen Hanstead did it again,
• 9:50
  fourth game in a row with an interception. H So that was pretty
• 9:54
  that was pretty cool to see whoa hold on Tyler hold On four games ames
• 10:00
  in a row with an interception. You know what, Tyler's got some nuggets,
• 10:03
  man. I mean, is that a county like four in a row.
• 10:07
  That just doesn't happen. Yeah, I mean it'd be tough to I'd
• 10:11
  have to go back and look. Corey only did the same thing last year.
• 10:15
  He had four in the first four games and didn't have another one for
• 10:18
  the rest of the season. So I'm sure it's happened here or here or
• 10:22
  there, but it can't have happened that many times. So a second year
• 10:24
  in a row in Walcom County that a sophomore safety has four games in a
• 10:28
  row with an interception. But that's one of those things that the last time
• 10:31
  somebody did it before that could have been thirty years, you know what I
• 10:35
  mean? Yeah, because that just I mean, most guys don't get four
• 10:39
  interceptions in a season. Yeah, It's it's pretty impressive, you know,
• 10:45
  I know that. I know Jay Trey Vier at Sea Home, he ended
• 10:50
  the season. He ended his junior year with a bunch of interceptions consistently boom
• 10:54
  boom boom. And then his senior year, I think he had ten interceptions,
• 10:58
  had a wild scene year, and but yeah, it's really really impressive.
• 11:03
  Josh Toll had an interception as well, so they had three interceptions on
• 11:07
  the day. There's a defensive end six five, two hundred and twenty pounds.
• 11:13
  He's a senior Elias to Gaga and I'm hope I'm pronouncing that right.
• 11:18
  But he had thirteen solo tackles, one tackle for loss, four sacks,
• 11:24
  and a past knockdown at the line of scrimmage. He was all over the
• 11:26
  place. It was so funny because even at one point I was up in
• 11:30
  the booth taking stats and and a Southwoodbee coach came into my booth and he
• 11:33
  just says, who's forty nine? And I'm and I'm like, think it
• 11:39
  does? Does he think I have a roster that he doesn't have, Like
• 11:41
  it's the same guy. I kind of grabbed the roster and I go it's
• 11:45
  Elias to Gaga, and he goes okay, and he walked out. I
• 11:46
  wonder if he was wondering if he was just some new guy. But he
• 11:50
  had himself a heck of a game. It was a like I said,
• 11:54
  it was a complete team effort. Tanner Lob was a really good lineman that
• 11:58
  played really well. Had had one and a half sacks, six and a
• 12:01
  half tackles. You know, Tyler Frost had another tackle for loss. He's
• 12:05
  moving up the charts of belling him all the time tackle for losses. I
• 12:09
  think he's close to around twenty now in his career. It was, you
• 12:13
  know, they really wanted to show that they can win and put a full
• 12:18
  game together, and it was just I could imagine that it's got to feel
• 12:22
  so good for them to do it, and to do it in front of
• 12:24
  their home stands. Uh, you know, in front of their home fans,
• 12:26
  I should say. And it's just I think I feel like there's probably
• 12:30
  a weightlifted off their shoulder and they're I think, you know, it's gonna
• 12:33
  go going forward. It's going to be really really positive for them. I
• 12:37
  mean, technically it was in front of their home stands. It was I
• 12:39
  guess I'm not wrong, and the visitors in the track and the scoreboard.
• 12:46
  Actually it was at Civic, so technically it was kind of in front of
• 12:50
  the BMX track next door too. Yes, it was and the ile I
• 12:54
  mean a little bit of everything in the baseball field where Ken Griffe Junior played,
• 12:58
  right, I mean, yeah, that's right. You gotta give Bellingham
• 13:01
  credit. They know how to entertain a crowd of what it would would that
• 13:05
  be like inanimate objects or something? I don't know anyway, Yeah, Bellingham
• 13:11
  fifty three to six over South would be on thing. Oh, Tyler,
• 13:15
  I forgot to ask you. Yeah, did you give out stickers this week?
• 13:18
  I didn't give out a single sticker? Uh, and take that back,
• 13:22
  I gave one to one of the Bellingham coaches. Now did he give
• 13:28
  you a goes before the game? Did he give did he give you the
• 13:33
  password or the code word? He said, well, we were talking about
• 13:37
  wrestling. He's the head wrestling coach. Okay, and he goes, he
• 13:39
  goes, are you gonna cover wrestling this year? I said yes, sir,
• 13:43
  and he goes, awesome, you know, and he was So I
• 13:45
  said, hey, I just need coaches to help me out. That's what
• 13:46
  I need. And so he's like, I'll get I'm on it. I'll
• 13:48
  talk to the other coaches. We'll get this going. Our first tournament is,
• 13:52
  you know, December fourth, or whatever. He said. He's all
• 13:54
  jacked up about it. That's awesome, man. And and then he goes,
• 13:58
  can I get a sticker? He goes, He goes, I don't
• 14:01
  remember what the code worked was, but I need a new one from my
• 14:03
  water bottle. So I gave one to him. Wow. So nobody likes
• 14:07
  coach Wood or either that, or maybe they were all Bobcats fans. It
• 14:11
  could be they don't like to Griz. I mean, who knows. Yeah
• 14:16
  again, Bellingham fifty three to six over South Tyler. Where there did you
• 14:18
  see people from other teams there? Like the Thursday night special at Civic you
• 14:24
  know, where's there guys from other, you know, teams in WelCom County
• 14:26
  out there watching the BayHawks. I do not recall. I was up in
• 14:30
  the booth, so I didn't. I wasn't. It's a little tougher than
• 14:33
  being out there, yeah, out wandering around doing your thing. Yeah.
• 14:37
  So I don't know for sure, but you know, a lot of times
• 14:39
  on those Thursday nights they have a night practice the local schools, you know,
• 14:43
  could get play for the following evening. They practiced that one week or
• 14:48
  that one day of the week under the lights. So I would imagine that's
• 14:50
  probably what's happening at that point of the night. Well, a team that
• 14:54
  needs some practice, hook wim. They came to town and uh, they
• 14:58
  took good in the shorts. Let's just say it that way because Nooksack Valley
• 15:03
  had I think you said it on last week's podcast, Tyler, you talked
• 15:07
  about the preview. You're like, I don't know that i'd want to be
• 15:09
  hokwa them this week because yeah, they're going to get an angry Nooksack Valley
• 15:13
  team. And that's exactly what they got. Because at halftime, Tyler,
• 15:18
  you may or may not believe this. At halftime it was sixty three to
• 15:22
  nothing. I mean I do, I do believe it. I was there.
• 15:26
  Oh well, good for you. Forty two in the first, twenty
• 15:31
  one in the second. And yeah, I mean the numbers in this game,
• 15:37
  Tyler, are absolutely insane. I would ask, what did you see
• 15:41
  out there? But it sounds like it was a blood bath. Yeah,
• 15:43
  you know, it's not worth going into a ton of the stuff. A
• 15:46
  few things that were kind of funny before the game. You know, k
• 15:52
  Nooksacks out there and they're warming up and then they go into the they go
• 15:54
  into the locker room and they come out with about ten minutes to go,
• 15:58
  and they have the flag out and they do their thing. It's really cool.
• 16:02
  And then they get in a big circle and they do jumping jacks and
• 16:04
  that's it. He just kind of, you know, one last time.
• 16:07
  Well, they're all in the big circle about ready to do jumping jacks and
• 16:11
  Skyler Witter and instead of getting the jumping jacks, he comes over to me
• 16:15
  and he goes, so, I gotta I gotta beef with you. And
• 16:18
  I love this about Skyler Witter and is that he's just he just speaks his
• 16:23
  mind. I mean he's been like this last couple of years that I've known
• 16:26
  him. And I'm like, what's up and he goes, he's like,
• 16:30
  I have two quarterback sacks. And I said, I know. But when
• 16:34
  I did when I did the graphic of the top five quarterback sacks, I
• 16:40
  had a couple of guys, like like the guy who was fourth and fifth
• 16:41
  that each had two, and then there was like a couple other guys that
• 16:45
  had two that I didn't put on the graphic, and he was one of
• 16:48
  them that I didn't put on the graphic. And I said, all you
• 16:49
  gotta do is just pick up another one tonight and you'll you'll be on the
• 16:52
  graphic. And he goes, he goes, He said, screw that,
• 16:56
  I'm running for four hundred yards tonight. Well, I mean, if he
• 17:03
  would have carried the ball ten times, he probably would have ran for four
• 17:04
  hund yards. He only carried the ball four times. He ran for one
• 17:07
  hundred and sixty five. So that was that was pretty funny. And then
• 17:12
  you know, on the third touchdown of the game, he broke off,
• 17:15
  he broke off a sixty six yard run or sixty three yard run, and
• 17:22
  he lost the ball kind of leon Lett style at the one yard line,
• 17:27
  and a guy caught him from behind knocked the ball out, and luckily for
• 17:32
  them, they had a you know, Casey Newton, who was a receiver,
• 17:36
  was sprinting down with during the play. He recovered it in the end
• 17:41
  zone. Okay, I saw, I saw the box car. I see
• 17:44
  he recovered the ball in the end zone. I until he think defense,
• 17:47
  Sure, yeah, yeah, absolutely, that was an offensive play. And
• 17:52
  when I wrote it down, I wrote that Wittern scored the touchdown. Because
• 17:56
  you know, they're running away from me. I can't really see it.
• 17:59
  What's happening. I just saw the trailing referee spreading as fast as he can
• 18:03
  down there, puts his puts his arms up. I'm like, okay,
• 18:06
  great. When they come out from halftime, he goes, he goes,
• 18:10
  did I get that touchdown? Or did Casey get it? I'm like,
• 18:11
  what are you talking about? And he goes the one that I fumbled,
• 18:15
  and I'm like, I have you with it? And Casey comes up and
• 18:18
  he goes, I got that touchdown. I'm because we saw it on the
• 18:22
  iPad and the halftime and I'm like, what do you guys? I have
• 18:25
  no clue. So then when I actually watched the film, it was really
• 18:27
  close, but he did fumble right before crossing the goal line. The ball
• 18:33
  landed like almost right on the goal line and it got picked up. So
• 18:37
  yeah, it was just a crazy game. I mean, three different guys
• 18:38
  throwing a touchdown pass, you know, early on, a lot of guys
• 18:42
  getting play. Jorgan Vigory, you know, the fourth extra point of the
• 18:48
  game doing that. I got live video of it, put it on Instagram.
• 18:52
  He broke a school record for most career extra points made, and then
• 18:57
  later on in the game he breaks another record school record for most extra points
• 19:02
  made in a single game. They also broke the record for most points scored
• 19:07
  in a single game, a school record. I should say they broke it
• 19:10
  by ten points. It was sixty six against Sultan a few years back.
• 19:15
  And yeah, they just and you know, Colton Lenz had a great game,
• 19:18
  and he did it on one leg. He was limping around, you
• 19:22
  know, he just kind of suffering a little bit of a leg injury.
• 19:26
  And and but you know when he was time to turn on the Jets,
• 19:29
  he could scoring that long touchdown run. But there was there was nothing they
• 19:33
  couldn't, you know, do you know it was it was pure dominance.
• 19:37
  One hundred and two yards of offense for Hoquiam and Tyler I told you before
• 19:42
  the show. I had to add this a couple of different times to make
• 19:45
  sure it was right. Six hundred and forty one yards of offense from nook
• 19:51
  Zack Valley. I mean, and that and that's what the complete running clock
• 19:53
  in the second half. Yeah, I mean, it's that's just insane.
• 19:56
  I mean, you mentioned, you know, with and four carries one hundred
• 20:00
  and sixty five yards. That is nuts. Now, Tyler, tell me
• 20:04
  this on the one that where he you know, the ball came out at
• 20:07
  the one or whatever. Does he get the yards for that? Yes?
• 20:11
  He does get the yards? Okay? Uh Colton Lentz six carries one hundred
• 20:15
  and forty six yards just the one touchdown, but it was from seventy nine
• 20:21
  yards out, just a nice casual jog. Yeah. I mean Joey Brown
• 20:26
  just throws only three passes but completes him for sixty six yards. I mean,
• 20:33
  I think it's it's worth mentioning Tyler. Four quarterbacks through the ball?
• 20:37
  I mean, well, let me say this. Was it actually four quarterbacks
• 20:41
  or did four guys throw a ball? Because I see Joey Brown, I
• 20:44
  see, is it Evan Brown? I believe Corey Only and I don't even
• 20:48
  know who Palumbo is, but he was out there doing some detective work or
• 20:51
  something. Nice pull there. Uh No, Corey Only. That was on
• 20:56
  a double pass, so he was playing with her. So it was three
• 20:59
  different quarterbacks. And what was really cool was one of Evan Brown's completions in
• 21:03
  the second quarter was to his brother, Joey Brown, which was pretty neat.
• 21:06
  Brown to Brown kind of like Mariota to Mariota and five to five it's
• 21:12
  it's like the you know what it is, Tyler, It's like the gift
• 21:15
  with uh Spider Man looking at himself, you know, right pointing each other.
• 21:21
  It's crazy too, because when Evan comes in and he does this,
• 21:23
  he comes in like he'll come in for like a possession in the second quarter.
• 21:26
  You know, he'll just kind of come in. They look identical.
• 21:30
  They you know, they're both six three six four. They both like all
• 21:33
  right, they both like squat the same way when they're ready for the ball
• 21:37
  at quarterback, like and it's twelve and seventeen like numbers. So it's hard
• 21:41
  to tell sometimes, but man, they look they look very very similar when
• 21:47
  they're back there. I have to kind of really, I mean, I
• 21:48
  need news glasses anyways, but it's really hard for me to tell sometimes who's
• 21:52
  in at quarterback. But I was on the sideline, on the visiting sideline,
• 21:55
  and Joey was split out wide. He's only standing like, you know,
• 21:59
  ten feet. I mean, I'm like Joey's playing receiver, and all
• 22:02
  of a sudden, I see Evan like whip a pass over to him.
• 22:04
  Joey. He scooped it up. I mean it should have hit the ground
• 22:07
  and he caught it right at the shoelaces and on a quick pass to the
• 22:11
  outside and picked up some good yardage and that was kind of cool to see.
• 22:14
  So yeah, it was just a fun night by the Pioneers. A
• 22:17
  lot of big time points there. Something I'm just thinking about here, Tyler.
• 22:22
  They had eight different players score a touchdown and then they also had Vigory
• 22:30
  with a kick, so they had nine guys score points playing different guys score
• 22:36
  points. They had twelve different guys carry the ball. I mean, that's
• 22:40
  absolutely insane. It's just I mean, you look over this box score and
• 22:44
  it's just wild. I mean it really is. It's it's crazy to see.
• 22:48
  Yeah again, seventy six to seven out there and Nooksack Valley, Lynden,
• 22:56
  Cedro Wooly ty Tyler, ty Reverend the big game. You know,
• 23:00
  I think this is maybe the most anticipated game so far this season since maybe
• 23:06
  Lyndon versus Ferndale. But yeah, I mean, this is it's actually pretty
• 23:11
  wild. When you look at the box score here, because it's seven seven
• 23:12
  seven seven seven seven eight seven, I mean, this is about as even
• 23:18
  as it gets. And you look at the total numbers on offense and it's
• 23:22
  three forty one to three thirty eight, with Lyndon barely winning that advantage as
• 23:26
  well. I mean, just a wild about as even as you can get
• 23:30
  just two teams doing things slightly different and one team going for two at the
• 23:33
  end and getting the win. Tyler, So yeah, what'd you see on
• 23:36
  film? Well, this was a fantastic game. This is one that you
• 23:41
  know. It is funny because my intern Michaela was down there, and you
• 23:45
  know, I just let her and Jeff they tell me what games they want
• 23:48
  to go to. I say, go for it. They go there.
• 23:51
  I'll take care of the rest. And when she said you want to go
• 23:52
  to this one, I said, that's fantastic. She actually was going to
• 23:56
  go to half of the Seal in Burlington game and then half this one.
• 23:59
  Then when she heard the podcast and found out Jeff was going to see him
• 24:03
  one, she contacted me and she said, if Jeff's going to that,
• 24:04
  I'll just go to Lyndon Sedra. I said, great, that works.
• 24:07
  Yeah. So she goes there and she's never done this before. But after
• 24:12
  the game, she goes, can I call you? I have to tell
• 24:15
  you about this game, Like she's never done that before. She was so
• 24:18
  giddy and so so fired up. I love it. Yeah, yeah,
• 24:22
  and so you know, so she called me, she was she was,
• 24:25
  you know, it's just excited. It was so fun talking to her and
• 24:27
  to feel that excitement. And and then when I watched the film, even
• 24:32
  though I know what's going to happen, it was still very very exciting,
• 24:34
  very very even teams Lyndon is they're very good. They're loaded. Uh Carston
• 24:41
  Reynolds, it seemed like whenever he like, yeah, they were doing different
• 24:45
  things and handing off and doing different things. But it's like when he kept
• 24:48
  the ball it was a first down. I mean it was just obviously you
• 24:51
  can't run him every play, but it seemed like every time they did it
• 24:55
  was it was a huge game. Yeah, he's just that good. And
• 25:00
  you know, he scored the fifty two yard touchdown run. He also scored
• 25:06
  the two yard touchdown run I believe, so he scored at least two of
• 25:08
  them. And uh yeah, there's a there's a famous play and you see
• 25:15
  it like an NFL film's history and slow motion with Marcus Allen scoring a touchdown.
• 25:21
  I want to say it was like against the Chargers or something where he's
• 25:23
  like jumps over the line, but like he keeps his legs moving like he's
• 25:27
  running in air, like in slow motion. It's a really cool video.
• 25:33
  And that Curson Reynolds had a touchdown like that where it looked like he was
• 25:36
  doing like a like a long jump and he just kind of kept floating past
• 25:40
  everybody. But it was just weird to see and something that only special athletes
• 25:45
  can do. You're absolutely right. I mean it was even Stephen, you
• 25:48
  know, each team scoring a touchdown every quarter. It was. It was
• 25:52
  very well done. There was a few punts here and there. Lindon did
• 25:56
  throw a couple interceptions. It was bound to happen at some point. Brent
• 26:00
  Epner is finally throwing in It thrown in interception after two hundred attempts in his
• 26:06
  career. They were both by Carston Reynolds, believe it or not, playing
• 26:11
  free safety, and and they were both in the second half, so it
• 26:14
  was kind of starting to get a little scary. Lyndon did get the ball
• 26:18
  with about two and a half minutes to go something like that, down down
• 26:23
  by seven out on the road, and they needed to drive about eighty five
• 26:27
  yards or something like that. And there was a few times there were some
• 26:30
  penalties they were faced with the first and twenty. At one point they found
• 26:34
  some There was some great catch by Weston Van Dalen on the sideline, a
• 26:38
  toe tap catch I think as his first forsty catch. He starts at safety,
• 26:41
  but he gets some time in that receiver as well. Brady Elsner was
• 26:47
  a great outlet. Racked up catches eleven catches in this game. I had
• 26:52
  to cut a couple of touchdowns earlier and then but driving down there was a
• 26:56
  huge twenty five yard completion to Danny Bowler that I was a big, you
• 27:00
  know, gap play to get them down a little further. And when they
• 27:04
  scored the touchdown, it was when they scored it, there was no time
• 27:08
  left on the clock and it was just a quick five yard out to Brady
• 27:15
  Elsner. But the way that Elsner ran the route was purely magnificent. I
• 27:22
  haven't seen that in a high school level maybe ever. Just the way he
• 27:26
  was able to move and shimmy and get open. At the last second Hepner
• 27:30
  finding him in the corner of the end zone on that on that throw,
• 27:33
  it was it was so perfectly done and you know the decision to go for
• 27:40
  it for for two you know, uh. Uh, Mikaela, my intern.
• 27:45
  She she talked to h It was a first interview after a game,
• 27:48
  and she talked to coach Van Dalen, really proud of her for doing that,
• 27:52
  and asked what went into into the into the decision making and they said
• 27:56
  they decided about halfway through that drive they score, they're going for two,
• 28:00
  So they they already knew it going in. I don't know if they knew
• 28:03
  the play yet, but they knew they were going to go for two.
• 28:06
  Isaiah Aldman also caught a pass on that last drive that was a really crucial
• 28:11
  play and then uh kind of a kind of an in then out to Danny
• 28:15
  Bowler for the two point conversion and U you know, Randy Small or Buddy
• 28:18
  Cat caught it live on video. He was in the back of the end
• 28:22
  zone. So as soon as that score happens, the game's over, so
• 28:25
  he runs onto the field, getting some great footage of the team celebrating.
• 28:30
  Just an unbelievable game. Twenty nine, twenty eight. I mean, anything
• 28:33
  you could ask for the fans, you know, that was one heck of
• 28:37
  a game. You got your you know, price of admission was well worth
• 28:41
  it. Uh, talk about two teams that you know, you're right,
• 28:44
  kind of did it a couple different ways and you could see them, you
• 28:48
  know, like kind of being the class of that Northwest Conference. Obviously,
• 28:53
  Anna Cordis is great and they're gonna have to face both of these teams down
• 28:57
  down the line. But you know, it's a good Uh, it's a
• 29:00
  good I don't know what the word is. I want to say, like
• 29:03
  marking stick for where you like a measuring stick kind of of where you need
• 29:07
  to be if you want to get to the playoffs out of the Northwest Conference.
• 29:10
  Yeah, let me look really quickly. I'm trying to remember v did
• 29:14
  they Anna Cordis. Did they play back to back weeks against these two teams?
• 29:18
  Oh boy, I'm not. I know they played Linden in the last
• 29:22
  week. Yeah, no, I remember what it is now. It was
• 29:25
  it was Sea Home. Last year it was Cedro Wooley and then Sea Home
• 29:27
  is who they played because both of those ended up being or the Sea Home
• 29:30
  game was tougher than people thought it was going to be, right, Yeah,
• 29:33
  Linden plays Cedro and then Sea Home. Yes, yes, yeah,
• 29:40
  wow yeah, Tyler, just looking at some of the numbers. As I
• 29:44
  mentioned, earlier three forty one for Linden overall on offense and three thirty eight
• 29:47
  for Sedro Wooly Brandt Hepner nineteen carries sixty eight yards. He also completed nineteen
• 29:52
  passes for two hundred and sixty yards, and he factored into every scoring play.
• 29:59
  Well other than does he does he hold on the kicks, He's just
• 30:03
  not. Then he did not factor into all of them because there was three
• 30:06
  extra points that he was not a part of. Other than that, he
• 30:11
  threw three touchdown passes, ran another one in and also through the two point
• 30:15
  conversion. Brady Elsner eleven catches for eighty five yards, Cooper More three catches
• 30:21
  for sixty two, and Danny Bohler two for thirty that does not include the
• 30:26
  pass right the two point conversions. And then Luke Human nine carries for forty
• 30:33
  two, Charlie Airge four for twenty. Yeah, I mean just the all
• 30:37
  around just unbelievable football game. I mean, that's that's that's a game Tyler
• 30:42
  that if I was at I'd be walking the sideline and tweeting I love high
• 30:45
  school football, right, great call? Yeah, absolutely, man, it
• 30:52
  was. It was pretty special. And the eleven catches by Brady Elsner.
• 30:56
  That's the most by a Linden receiver in nine years when John Wittenberg had thirteen,
• 31:03
  which is the school records. So yeah, pretty impressive. Yeah,
• 31:07
  I remember that Wittenberg kid. He was pretty thinking good. It's funny that
• 31:11
  you mentioned that MICHAELA called you because I used to Tyler. Do you remember
• 31:15
  I used to do the callin show. Yes, that's KJR. And there
• 31:19
  was many of times that I was all fired up after games and and and
• 31:22
  they would call me and be like, hey, you're ready to go,
• 31:25
  and I'm like I'm ready to go, baby, like let's do this.
• 31:27
  It was that on JR. Or Yeah, yeah, it was KJR.
• 31:30
  There was another time when you'll like this one puol up and up or yeah,
• 31:37
  pu olop and Union. In twenty eighteen, they played in uh I
• 31:41
  don't know, it was like a Week three or a week four game,
• 31:44
  but it was the second game of a double header, so it went way
• 31:47
  late and pullup was up I want to say, like twenty one points and
• 31:52
  ended up losing the Union. And it actually happened twice that season. They
• 31:56
  did it twice. They did it in the I think the semi finals.
• 32:00
  With the quarterfinals. No, I think it was the Semis. They did
• 32:01
  in the Semis, and they did it in a week two or a week
• 32:04
  three. It was early in the season. But the KJR guy called me
• 32:07
  and I was like, hey man, there's still like eight minutes left in
• 32:10
  this game, and he goes. He goes, well, are you in
• 32:14
  a spot like can you can you do like talk about what's going on right
• 32:16
  now and then we'll come back to you later. And I was like,
• 32:17
  yeah, sure, So I did that, and it was it was just
• 32:21
  crazy because the game was nuts. And when when I got off the phone
• 32:23
  with them the first time, I was like, hey, Union's coming back
• 32:25
  and Lincoln Victor's starting to get going and when he gets going, you never
• 32:30
  know what's gonna happen. Then when they came back to me, I was
• 32:31
  like, the game just ended. Oh my godness, Like you know,
• 32:34
  it was just crazy. But then I get a phone call from Paul Valencia
• 32:38
  from Clark County today and he says to me, he goes because he was
• 32:42
  at he was at another game, because you know that it's like Hugh Tyler,
• 32:45
  he went to a game that had two Clark County teams instead of a
• 32:49
  game that had a Pierce County in a Clark County, you know what I
• 32:51
  mean, which which makes all the sense in the world. He calls me
• 32:54
  and he goes, Ryland, where are you at right now? And I
• 32:58
  said, I'm getting gas and he goes, what gas station? And I
• 33:01
  go, I go, I'm at the you know, like I don't know.
• 33:06
  It was my old junkie car, so probably like the Arco. I
• 33:08
  don't know. There's a burger king across the street or something. And he
• 33:10
  goes, stay there, I'll be there in two minutes. And I'm like
• 33:14
  what. He shows up and he goes, hey, I want to write
• 33:17
  a story about that game tonight. He says, start talking. And I
• 33:21
  was like, all right, I've never been interviewed at a gas station before.
• 33:24
  And we probably stood there for ten fifteen minutes, you know, cars
• 33:28
  are pulling in and out and doing their things and I'm sitting there taking up
• 33:30
  a you know, gas station spot. But I literally interviewed me right there
• 33:36
  because he was like, dude, He's like, you still sound excited.
• 33:37
  I'm like, man, I'm not gonna sleep tonight. Like I got a
• 33:40
  three hour drive home and I'm not sleeping. I know how that goes.
• 33:44
  Sometimes it sounds like she was losing her mind down there. That's awesome.
• 33:46
  I love it. Yeah, it was really really cool, you know.
• 33:49
  And she and she was worried about writing the story before getting to the Elsie
• 33:53
  Royal game because she wrote that story too, And oh, I said,
• 33:57
  don't worry. The words will come easy when it's When it's a game like
• 34:00
  that, it's so easy to write, you know, it just flows because
• 34:04
  there's so much information that you're writing down as the game's going. And so
• 34:08
  she did a great job. Well. And the thing too is something like
• 34:10
  that, like you don't even a lot of times, you don't even need
• 34:15
  notes, you don't need anything. You just go, yeah, you just
• 34:17
  start writing and it's like you remember everything, you remember how it went.
• 34:21
  Like I've told you before. The reason I used to tweet all of the
• 34:23
  scoring plays and everything, you know, one because I know some people like
• 34:28
  to watch it. But what I would do is when I would go on
• 34:30
  the radio, I would just walk around and I would read right off my
• 34:32
  timeline at this time this happened, and you know it helped me do that.
• 34:36
  But yeuh yeah again, Lyndon, They they remain undefeated in league play
• 34:44
  with the twenty nine twenty eight win over Sedro Wooley. That Northwest Conference,
• 34:47
  Tyler, I mean, it's stupid. It's it's it's it's there's still so
• 34:52
  much to be decided. I mean, this is one little tiny peg in
• 34:58
  the you know, the full board of it all. I mean, it's
• 35:00
  it's gonna be it's gonna be wild to see. Uh, Meridian they went
• 35:06
  down to the Seattle area. Now, Tyler, how about this. When
• 35:08
  was the last time Radian played a game in the city limits of Seattle.
• 35:14
  Oh? Wow, I have no idea. My goodness, it's like the
• 35:21
  two thousand, like seven to like twenty eleven. Yeah, is kind of
• 35:30
  buzzy to me, because you know, I got engaged and I got married,
• 35:34
  and I stopped going to games and then, uh, but then in
• 35:37
  twenty thirteen, I started kind of doing stuff again. So there's like a
• 35:42
  little window there where I don't know, so it could have happened in that
• 35:44
  point. Well, I bet Meridian played at Kings Yeah, and we don't
• 35:52
  know what city that's in. We just keep saying Seattle. Yeah, Actually
• 35:55
  I think they played there, So I'm going with Seattle. They played there.
• 36:00
  A couple of years ago. Remember in that week ten, Yes,
• 36:02
  you were there, it was like forty two or something like that. No,
• 36:07
  I was there. Webster had like six hundred totally offensive yards or something.
• 36:12
  I wasn't there for that one. I was there the week before when
• 36:14
  they beat Granted Falls. Grant Falls, that's right. And then they went
• 36:17
  down smacked Kings, and then we all picked them the next week and they
• 36:22
  went down and lost to Hoquium or Montasano, wasn't it. Yes, yes,
• 36:29
  look at that. My memories better than yours. I went anyway,
• 36:32
  Meridian forty eight to fifteen over Nathan Hale, by the way, a three
• 36:37
  A opponent Nathan Hale, uh Tyler. This one, I mean when I
• 36:42
  look at the box score, it looks like it was maybe getting out of
• 36:45
  hand or real early because it was twenty eight not then at the end of
• 36:47
  one well, yeah, I mean they had scored, they had scored three
• 36:52
  touchdowns and ran two offensive plays at that point. Wow, it was you
• 36:58
  know, right off the bat, first drive reen out, Kelly Gray breaks
• 37:01
  through the line, blocks the punt. It goes straight up in the air,
• 37:06
  a little backwards. He blocked it perfectly. He didn't go down and
• 37:09
  went up and I went right into the hands of Ross Driscoll, who catches
• 37:15
  it at the sixteen yard line. And then it's like, for the next
• 37:20
  seven and a half seconds or so, is just dragging guys into the end
• 37:23
  zone. It was like a big scrum that just kept moving and kept moving
• 37:27
  and kept moving, and I was like, is he is? He is?
• 37:30
  He he does and he scored the touchdown, and I was I was
• 37:32
  like celebrating in my chair watching the film. It was just because I didn't
• 37:37
  know what was going on. I knew what the final score was, that's
• 37:38
  all I knew, and and I just was so happy for him. And
• 37:43
  then right after that, Josh Elmer picks off a pass, gets it all
• 37:46
  the way to the two yard line and it was his first of two interceptions
• 37:51
  in that game. And then a couple of plays later, five scores from
• 37:54
  a couple of yards out, so those were their couple offensive plays. And
• 37:58
  then right after that it was a bad there was a bad snap and goes
• 38:01
  over the quarterback set and Driscoll falls on. So he scores two touchdowns,
• 38:06
  you know, in the first few minutes of the game. And I want
• 38:08
  to say, I don't know for sure, I probably should have done my
• 38:12
  research, but I think those are his first two varsity touchdowns of his career.
• 38:17
  So it's pretty it's pretty crazy, and it was very it was very
• 38:22
  dominant early. But it was weird because it was like the rest of the
• 38:27
  game kind of a halfway through the second quarter and beyond, Nathan Hale put
• 38:31
  up yards like against the starters. Like it wasn't. It wasn't like they
• 38:35
  were They just looked like they had a really really really bad first quarter.
• 38:39
  And because they could they could throw the ball, they could move the ball
• 38:45
  throwing it. But it was you know, by that point, they're so
• 38:50
  far down and and and I take it back, Driscoll did have a touchdown
• 38:54
  run last year, so it wasn't. It was his first defensive touchdown he
• 38:58
  scored too. So yeah, like you said earlier, the second guy this
• 39:01
  week to score two defensive touchdowns in one game. But it was a lot
• 39:06
  of the same stuff. You know, Elmer and Downey. Downey and Elmer
• 39:09
  running the ball, catching the ball. You know, those two guys,
• 39:15
  they move all over the field. They do a lot of different things.
• 39:17
  Splitting out wide behind the backfield. You'll see him both in the Batflis see
• 39:22
  him both split out wide at the same time, and and they do.
• 39:25
  They drop a lot of kind of magical plays to kind of keep them,
• 39:30
  you know, on edge with the with the opponent. They both get into
• 39:32
  the end zone in different ways. You know. Jaker five had another good
• 39:37
  night throwing the ball. He could throw a good deep ball. You know,
• 39:42
  it was pretty it was pretty good after that. Meridian three and one
• 39:45
  now and they're only lost coming by one point. I didn't even think about
• 39:51
  that. Uh, Meridian three hundred and seventy four yards of offense and Nathan
• 39:54
  Hale two forty nine Tyler. Maybe the most impressive thing on the night that
• 40:00
  I look at here is eighteen rushing attempts form Nathan Hale, just two yards
• 40:06
  given up by the Meridian defense on the ground. Yeah, that that Meridian
• 40:09
  defense. You know, if you're not used to them, Uh, it's
• 40:15
  it can be daunting to run the ball. They really like to stack the
• 40:17
  line and dare you to throw. And and they come at a lot of
• 40:22
  weird spots and they'll they'll shoot guys up the middle. And if like I
• 40:25
  said, if you're not if not used to it, it could really demoralize
• 40:30
  you a little bit because they have these little five six, five seven guys
• 40:34
  that are shooting through the gaps, and it's like, man, how is
• 40:37
  he getting through? Why are they making tackles? All of a sudden,
• 40:38
  it's you know, it's third and sixteen and you're just like, well,
• 40:44
  crap and it you know, it's it's tough to go after that. You
• 40:47
  know. Elmer had another huge day like he always does. Eight and a
• 40:50
  half tackles, two tackles for loss, two interceptions. We talked about Ross
• 40:54
  driscoll with those two defensive touchdowns, he also had a sack. You know,
• 40:59
  Taylor Sharp as a senior corner on the outside, he broke up a
• 41:01
  couple of passes. He also had a tackle for loss. Cohen Fuller broke
• 41:06
  up three passes, so you know they were trying to throw quite a bit,
• 41:09
  but uh, you know a Meridian. You know, they gave up
• 41:12
  some passing yards. But yeah, against the run, they were really really
• 41:16
  strong up front. Kelly Gray, Mason appellas Jackson Hurl but Lincoln Hofer.
• 41:21
  So many of these guys making plays at or around the line of scrimmage.
• 41:24
  Yeah, Tyler, when I look at it, here I mean they've got
• 41:28
  one, two, three, four, or five, six, seven,
• 41:30
  eight, nine different guys credited with a carry. Granted two of them went
• 41:36
  for negative yards, but I mean that's talk about just distribution of the ball,
• 41:40
  but that's handoffs. I mean, that's rushing yards. Like that's pretty
• 41:45
  wild to see. Jagger five completes ten passes for two hundred and twenty four
• 41:50
  yards twenty two point four. You know, a completion. That's pretty dang
• 41:53
  good. Landing downy five catches one hundred and six. Joshton Elmer two catches
• 42:00
  for eighty one, eleven carries for eighty one. Wait what eighty one and
• 42:05
  eighty one? What a night? Land and down? He also had five
• 42:08
  carries for twenty nine yards. I mean, just an all around really nice
• 42:12
  night for Meridian that you know, nice to get out there and put up
• 42:16
  twenty eight in the first quarter. As a matter of fact, usually that
• 42:20
  would be maybe even be the most points scored in a quarter in the night
• 42:22
  if it wasn't for the fact that Knoxac Valley put up forty two somehow.
• 42:27
  Yeah again, Meridian forty eight fifteen over Nathan hailed down in Seattle, Kings
• 42:32
  Mount Baker Kings came to town. Excuse me, Mount Baker went to Kings
• 42:37
  and did their thing. Sixty three twenty two Kings over Mount Baker. Yeah,
• 42:45
  I mean, Tyler, when you look at this, it just kind
• 42:46
  of looks like it looks like Mount Baker was maybe hanging on a little bit
• 42:52
  there early on, and then it just kind of got away from him with
• 42:54
  four straight touchdowns after you know, a landing handstead long no surprise here because
• 43:04
  we know he does that, but a long sixty eight yard touchdown reception,
• 43:07
  and then just kind of got away from him with Kings just a three yard
• 43:12
  touchdown run, a three or seven yard touchdown run, twenty yard touchdown round
• 43:15
  at twenty seventy yard touchdown pass before Mount Baker got on the scoreboard. Again.
• 43:21
  When you look at the numbers, Tyler, it's a pretty dominating game
• 43:24
  numbers wise from Kings. So h yeah, what did you see there on
• 43:28
  the film of out of Woolsey Stadium? Yeah, it was It was interesting
• 43:34
  second week in a row seeing film at that stadium because Nicks like Valley was
• 43:37
  there last week, so it was kind of weird, almost like they're becoming
• 43:39
  a fucking county team just seeing that film over and over again. It was
• 43:45
  you know, yeah, you see the twenty one to fifteen score after the
• 43:46
  first quarter and you think they're hanging with them, but it was really just
• 43:51
  two big plays that that got them in the end zone. You know,
• 43:53
  a lot of the other stuff was was shut down pretty well. Kings obviously,
• 43:59
  we know about their their little dynamic quarterback looks like Doug Flutie out there.
• 44:01
  We're in number twenty two. He's fast, he's got a good arm,
• 44:05
  he's really lightning quick, and but they got a running back that is
• 44:12
  a bowling ball. I mean, guys just bounce off him like it's nothing.
• 44:15
  I mean it's almost like watching you know, Christian Accoy on Techno Super
• 44:19
  Bowl just plowing through the line and guys just falling off him. And that
• 44:22
  was one other thing that really stood out was Baker really had trouble stopping the
• 44:27
  run, and that just doesn't seem to happen very often. Give up a
• 44:30
  lot of rushing yards. That's just not normal for Mount Baker. You know,
• 44:37
  there was a time during that run of touchdowns that you were talking about
• 44:40
  that Kings had in the third quarter there where after one of those they kicked
• 44:46
  one off, you know, kind of off to the side that would land
• 44:50
  it around the thirty or twenty five ish and it just died, you know.
• 44:54
  And it was a beautiful night out and his artificial turf, but somehow
• 44:59
  the ball just stayed the stayed in the field of play, you know,
• 45:01
  and Kings went down and recovered it and then scored like two plays later,
• 45:05
  and it was just those kinds of plays can really just demoralize a team.
• 45:08
  And and you know, it was it was tough after that for from Mount
• 45:15
  from Mount Baker and you know, Handset had the long touchdown catch, but
• 45:20
  and Brady Berlin with his second kickoffortunity for a touchdown in his varsity career.
• 45:23
  He had one last year at Blaine. But but Kings is proving they're the
• 45:29
  real deal. Beating a couple of pretty good Walking County schools. It's uh,
• 45:34
  it's gonna get you know, as we get into conference play now,
• 45:37
  a lot of things will start to shuffle out. But Kings is one of
• 45:39
  those teams that once it gets to the state playoffs, I'm gonna keep my
• 45:43
  eye on them because I'm curious where they're gonna be ranked. I'm curious how
• 45:45
  they're gonna play. And uh, now that I've seen them as a full
• 45:51
  game twice, and maybe it's because it's fresh in my mind, I could
• 45:54
  see them doing some pretty pretty good stuff. And now that I've seen Royal
• 45:59
  Live, I've seen Nook Sac Valley Live, Kings is right up there.
• 46:04
  They're very good team. Starting to feel pretty good about what you know about
• 46:07
  one a, Tyler. Yeah, five hundred and twenty four yards of offense
• 46:14
  for Kings, as you mentioned, though, forty carries for three hundred and
• 46:16
  eighty six yards for the nights. Yeah, that's a rough one there for
• 46:22
  Mount Baker, but Baker two hundred and thirty nine yards, one hundred and
• 46:25
  twenty four on the ground, one hundred and fifteen through the air. One
• 46:31
  kind of cool thing. Tyler. You mentioned three MOA's getting carries, and
• 46:35
  none of the three are brothers, right, that's right? Yeah, Dylan
• 46:39
  Moa, Bryson Moa, and Camden Moa. You got a senior, a
• 46:46
  junior, and a sophomore and they're all cousins. I believe there's no and
• 46:52
  I you know their dads. I want to say it's Mason, Brent,
• 46:58
  and Clinton. I played with all of them. Their grandpa, Ron was
• 47:04
  friends with my dad in high school. I mean, this is a you
• 47:07
  know, that's just you know, that's just Mount Mount Baker for you.
• 47:10
  And it's pretty pretty cool to have three of them, and and they're just
• 47:15
  they're all cousins with each other, lots of Anderson and moa birthday party,
• 47:20
  uh, pinata bashings and stuff going on up and Mason and I had the
• 47:25
  same birthday. How about that April twentieth. Wow, I mean, which
• 47:30
  is my mom's birthday. Yeah. And Don Mattingly your boy. I love
• 47:35
  Don Mattingley. I know I didn't like anything about the Yankees other than Matt
• 47:38
  Noakes and Don Mattingley back in the day. Uh, and really I didn't
• 47:42
  like Matt Nooks. I just want to throw that name in there again,
• 47:45
  of course. Uh yeah, I mean that's I guess let's just do this,
• 47:49
  you guy, just because we have to. But other than that,
• 47:52
  I mean, not a whole lot really going on for Baker and this one.
• 47:55
  Uh. They'll get at it again though, and they'll be uh,
• 47:58
  I'm sure they'll be just fine. I mean we haven't even started conference play
• 48:00
  yet, Tyler exactly. And then they last year at this time they were,
• 48:06
  Yeah, they were. They might have had the same record, I
• 48:09
  think, so yeah. I mean, well it's tough because I know they
• 48:15
  had had to buy during the week four, so they were I think they
• 48:19
  were one and two at this point. So yeah, I mean you just
• 48:22
  you never know. Yeah. Well, and one thing that we do know
• 48:24
  is they usually find a way to usually find a way to get her going
• 48:29
  over there at Mount Baker, So yeah, I mean, we'll see what
• 48:30
  happens there. But again, I mean, if conference playhouse and started,
• 48:35
  it kind of doesn't mean anything because the games don't mean anything as far as
• 48:39
  getting you into the playoffs at this point, Tyler, last year they were
• 48:43
  one and two, Yeah, and then they beat Blaine, then they lost
• 48:46
  to the Center, lost in the Jack Valley, beat Marie at Yeah.
• 48:52
  Then they won two games that they had to win and then boom next to
• 48:57
  you the other state championship gameshow and then actually, according to max Preps,
• 49:04
  they did count the six nothing win against Nooksack Valleys as a win. Yeah.
• 49:08
  Well, yeah, they don't know what they're doing over there in Max
• 49:10
  Preps. And since I don't work for since I don't work for CBS anymore,
• 49:16
  I can say whatever I want about them. Yeah, instead of just
• 49:21
  telling me off the air. Yeah, exactly sixty three twenty two Kings over
• 49:24
  Mount Baker Tyler down in Arlington. By the way, coach Olsen sent me
• 49:30
  a picture that I should send to you. His dad was at I believe
• 49:35
  it was Nutty's Junkyard in Arlington. Oh my goodness, the picture of the
• 49:39
  food that he sent me. I'm not gonna say I slobbered on myself,
• 49:43
  but if I said that, I'd be telling the truth. Tyler forty six
• 49:46
  fourteen though Arlington over Ferndale. Ferndale got on the board first with a one
• 49:51
  yard touchdown run by talent bunk guard and then uh yeah, touchdown run,
• 49:55
  touchdown run, touchdown pass, touchdown pass, touchdown pass, touchdown pass all
• 50:00
  for Arlington, and it kind of got out of hand a little bit there
• 50:04
  in the third quarter. Tyler, what'd you see? Yeah, it was
• 50:07
  it was tough. You know. I was, you know, Friday night,
• 50:08
  I was at Nusak for a while and then I drove out to Civic,
• 50:12
  so I was kind of in between games when I got a text.
• 50:15
  I love it because parents helped me out. They kind of update me on
• 50:19
  scores. And I get it. I get a text that just says Arlington's
• 50:22
  up thirty six seven at halftime, and I went, oh, my goodness,
• 50:28
  I just I just wasn't expecting that. Obviously, both teams were undefeated.
• 50:34
  I know Arlington loves to throw the ball. They're very good at it.
• 50:37
  Saw them in the scrimmage, you know, and the opening drive was
• 50:44
  about as Ferndale esque as it gets. Fifteen plays, you know, seventy
• 50:49
  two yards or whatever. It was taking up most of the quarter running the
• 50:52
  ball, everybody's getting involved. Let's have the wing back take once, give
• 50:57
  them back the full back to have the quarterback keep one. And they're just
• 51:00
  going down the field and score one yard touchdown. I don't know how many
• 51:02
  times they began a game, you know, over the last ten years with
• 51:07
  a fifteen play drive and they end with a one yard touchdown run They took
• 51:10
  up most of the first quarter. Happens all the time. So if you're
• 51:15
  there and you're seeing that, you're thinking, oh, this is this is
• 51:16
  pretty good. Now I know the score going in, I'm watching it,
• 51:20
  I'm thinking, well, this was pretty good. And Arlington, just,
• 51:24
  boy, they could they found some great things passing the ball. There was
• 51:29
  a lot of really good catches, you know, some deep passes that just
• 51:34
  hit the bread basket perfectly over the shoulder, and there was a lot of
• 51:37
  great plays like that, very very accurate deep passer that they have. But
• 51:42
  there were, you know, some things on the Ferndale side that that just
• 51:45
  weren't that weren't going well. You know, bung Guard did score that touchdown,
• 51:49
  but you know, he got dinged up last week and he just didn't
• 51:52
  play very much in this game. I didn't see him at all on defense
• 51:57
  and offensively, you know, you only had nine carries, so they were
• 52:01
  you know, not using him as much. They had to throw early on
• 52:06
  and Bishop Bootsey is a much better pastor than he was last year, has
• 52:09
  improved a lot. But he would drop back to pass and he'd have all
• 52:13
  the time in the world. But there was great coverage, you know,
• 52:15
  probably a reason they had all the time in the world because they were dropping
• 52:19
  back seven and they were they were covering really well. There were a lot
• 52:22
  of plays where he'd extended, extended, extended, extend and then take off
• 52:24
  and run and he'd pick up you know, five or six yards, but
• 52:28
  it was he never really you know found what he was looking for, and
• 52:31
  he would take off and run a lot. He ended up being the leading
• 52:35
  rusher, you know, and and have the most carries on the team,
• 52:37
  which was I would say that more than half of those were on scramble plays.
• 52:42
  They weren't designed runs, which is again a kind of an odd thing
• 52:45
  for a Ferndale team. Uh. Cleveland Atwood, uh, you know,
• 52:51
  as a guy that's kind of waited his turn, and and he's a senior
• 52:54
  full back and and you know, playing behind a junior is tough. Uh.
• 52:59
  Cleveland would got into that game last year against Arlington when bun Guard got
• 53:04
  hurt in that one as well, and then Carlson got hurt and so they
• 53:07
  put him in and he did really well. Uh he had to come in
• 53:09
  in this one too. He scored a touchdown late. Arlington's a really good
• 53:13
  team. I think that Uh they they have a chance to, you know,
• 53:17
  make some noise in the West Coast three a north. Uh you know,
• 53:22
  running the ball, okay, passing the ball really dynamic, played pretty
• 53:28
  good defense. You know, have a great kicker. Uh, you know,
• 53:31
  kind of those things that you need. But Ferndale is just now they
• 53:36
  got the you know, the loss happened. Okay, you've lost one,
• 53:38
  Now go back to it. You're still in conference play. You got a
• 53:42
  big one against Marysville Pilchuck, who's also undefeated, and you just got a
• 53:45
  regroup and and uh and go at it again. I think the I think
• 53:50
  they're gonna be at home next week. So I go back to that that
• 53:52
  brand new stadium, and you just gotta just gotta wipe the slate clean.
• 53:55
  Uh. Arlington four hundred and seventy total yards on offense, two hundred and
• 54:00
  sixteen from Ferndell. Uh. Yeah, I mean it's not too often,
• 54:05
  even at Ferndale that you see the quarterback leading in rushing. I mean,
• 54:10
  like, Tyler, do you know the last time that would have happened.
• 54:14
  I mean, well, I guess maybe it could have been. No.
• 54:16
  I was gonna say, who was the young man that went to uh that
• 54:20
  went to Central. Yeah, James Hinson. I was thinking he didn't run
• 54:23
  a ton, No, it was very athletic. He didn't. Senior year.
• 54:27
  I think he threw more than he ran. Yeah, like he actually
• 54:31
  threw the ball quite a bit, if I can remember, right quarterback game,
• 54:36
  Yeah, yeah exactly. Yeah, Yeah, he wasn't out there throwing
• 54:38
  it around like you know, a Josh Kraft or anything. But but he
• 54:43
  would put up like fifteen times a game, which is yeah, quite a
• 54:45
  bit for a Ferndel tea. I mean that's a lot for Ferndale as a
• 54:49
  matter of fact, three times as many as they put it up in the
• 54:51
  air this time. But yeah, Ferndale just I mean when you look at
• 54:55
  the numbers, they kind of tell the story. Fifty carries on offense and
• 54:59
  uh, you know, only able to get one hundred and ninety two yards.
• 55:01
  You usually if Ferndale's putting up fifty carries on offense, you feel like
• 55:05
  they're going to have probably closer to three hundred. But yeah, I mean,
• 55:09
  uh, you know, all in all, just a real sound,
• 55:13
  great game from from Arlington. I mean you got to just kind of tip
• 55:15
  your cap, give those guys credit in the way you go. But uh,
• 55:19
  yeah, as you said, it's it's not over. And I mean
• 55:21
  it's one of those things for Ferndale that you know, you really have to
• 55:24
  look at it and go, hey, you know, with the fact that
• 55:27
  it's a crossover and that has you know, that affects seating and everything,
• 55:31
  they really got to get after it this week, because you know, Marysville
• 55:36
  Pilchuck looks like they're a pretty good team, and you you really can't have
• 55:40
  another slip up here because at the end of the day, that's you end
• 55:45
  up with the crossover and you could go from potentially being the three to all
• 55:47
  of a sudden being the five playing in the five game, you know what
• 55:51
  I mean, and that that really changes things. So yeah, yeah,
• 55:54
  just a little exactly just what you said. I mean, the three A
• 55:57
  is so tough, and and fern Dales had those moments where they looked like
• 56:01
  they were just whooping up everybody, and they played Monroe and Week one beat
• 56:07
  him really really good by like three touchdowns. They played him in the crossover
• 56:09
  and lost, So they end up playing in that game that you were at,
• 56:15
  and they lost that one. All of a sudden, you're not in
• 56:16
  the state playoffs. So it's it's like you said, it's really tough to
• 56:21
  slip up multiple times. Yeah, well, I mean, especially in a
• 56:24
  league where that Week nine crossover can instead of you being maybe the three out
• 56:29
  of your league, you're still the three out of your division or whatever,
• 56:31
  but you're actually the five or you know whatever. It just it can really
• 56:37
  change something. So they got to get right back at it again. Arlington
• 56:39
  forty six fourteen over Ferndale. Uh, let's see Friday night at Civic Stadium,
• 56:45
  Archbishop Murphy came to town and looked a little bit better than Archbishop Murphy
• 56:49
  has it most of this season. Thirty eight to six over Squalicum looked like
• 56:52
  the storm just kind of never really were able to get a whole lot going
• 56:55
  there. Hunt Tyler exactly. It was. It was like they just because
• 57:00
  something was disconnected, or something just wasn't right, or just you know,
• 57:05
  and I went out to the game, you know, I was at Nooksack
• 57:07
  first, and they because they started at six pm, and I was gonna
• 57:10
  stay just for the first half. But when the first you know, after
• 57:15
  the first half, I mean, obviously it was over at halftime, but
• 57:17
  I figured, you know, the second half is gonna be a complete running
• 57:20
  clock. I might as well stick around for the whole thing, and then
• 57:23
  I can pop over to a Civic and I'll still be able to catch a
• 57:27
  big chunk of the game, even though from Nooksack to Civic is you know,
• 57:30
  kind of a drive at least twenty minutes, So I I thought,
• 57:36
  well, I'll just head out there and see what's see what's going on.
• 57:38
  I get out there, I have no clue what's going on. I don't
• 57:40
  I haven't heard from any parents, and I didn't need to because you know,
• 57:44
  I'm going to the game, so I don't need to score updates.
• 57:46
  And I drive by and I see the scoreboard as I'm driving by, and
• 57:51
  I was like, what it was the third quarter? It was thirty eight
• 57:54
  to six at that point, and I just felt like, what's that?
• 58:00
  Just it just shocked me. And I go through the gates, I go
• 58:04
  down on the field and there was just I mean, you've been to more
• 58:07
  high school football games than anybody, and have you ever been to one where
• 58:10
  it just it just didn't feel right or it just didn't feel like high school
• 58:15
  football or you know what I mean, Like it just, yeah, there's
• 58:19
  high school football going on, but for some reason, you just have this
• 58:21
  weird, like sixth sense of of something different. Is that? I mean,
• 58:28
  if you ever felt that before. Yeah, we'll talk about it here
• 58:30
  in a couple of minutes because I'm going to talk about a game from Saturday.
• 58:34
  But yeah, I mean, it's it was weird, and it was
• 58:36
  just it just didn't feel I don't know, it's just something about it was
• 58:39
  off. Maybe it's because I wasn't there from the kickoff or something, but
• 58:44
  there was just no excitement. There was just no and I and I was
• 58:47
  there for a quarter and a half. I didn't see one point scored.
• 58:51
  That was another kind of weird odd thing it was, you know. And
• 58:55
  then when I watched the film, right off the bat, you know,
• 59:00
  Squalicum throws an interception and then fumbles it on their first two drives that led
• 59:04
  to ten points right up, you know early, and so obviously you know,
• 59:07
  they shot themselves on the foot and they were trying to play catchup.
• 59:10
  Ever since Marks Nixon did have a handful of big runs, had a couple,
• 59:15
  you know, three or four runs that were you know, close to
• 59:16
  fifteen twenty yards, so that kind of kept them in it. Now,
• 59:21
  the touchdown passed walking Ortiz was a was kind of a quick like it's like
• 59:25
  a fly sweep reverse if you want to call it that on like a little
• 59:30
  pitch pass almost kind of like you see mahomes due to Kelsey where he underhands
• 59:35
  it really quickly and you know, right in the middle of everything, it
• 59:37
  was kind of like that Ortiz just catches it and just shoots out of a
• 59:40
  cannon, runs around everybody in scores. But you know, it's it was
• 59:46
  just there was something about it that was that was odd. You know,
• 59:52
  some just mistakes, and you know, defensively, you know, the linebackers
• 59:55
  did really well. DeAndre Denmore had a huge game. Nine tackles, three
• 1:00:00
  tackles for loss, forced to fumble. He hits hard man and you know,
• 1:00:04
  we've been talking about him forever. I know you liked him a lot
• 1:00:07
  when he was a sophomore. You saw him down at Sedro that that day.
• 1:00:10
  You know, Malachi Smith had ten tackles, one tackle for loss.
• 1:00:14
  But all in all, it was just tough to get anything going. Archbishop
• 1:00:20
  Murphy, they looked big upfront, They looked they didn't make that many mistakes.
• 1:00:25
  They just they knew what they were like. They were very technical in
• 1:00:29
  what they did. They ran the ball very very well. They didn't throw
• 1:00:31
  up very much, but when they did they made really good plays out of
• 1:00:35
  it. They just played relatively air free football and it showed in a big,
• 1:00:40
  big way. Yeah. I mean, if I told you that Squalicum
• 1:00:44
  was going to rush for one hundred and ninety eight yards. You'd probably feel
• 1:00:45
  pretty good about the game. Yeah, you know, problem is they only
• 1:00:50
  threw for fifty nine. I mean, it's just kind of one of those
• 1:00:52
  nights. Two hundred and fifty seven total yards of offense for squalicumb three thirty
• 1:00:57
  two for Archbishop Murphy. Yeah. You mentioned Marcus Nixon fourteen carries, one
• 1:01:01
  hundred and eleven yards, DeAndre Dunmore eight carries for thirty four, and Malachi
• 1:01:07
  Smith nine for twenty nine and Joaukes Waukeys Joaquin or Tease three for twenty four.
• 1:01:16
  Yeah, I mean, just kind of one of those, uh,
• 1:01:19
  one of those clunkers, you know, Tyler. Unfortunately, if you're Squalicum,
• 1:01:23
  you just really cannot have those games, you know, in games that
• 1:01:28
  you need to win there in that conference. And they start off a league
• 1:01:31
  play oh and two. They moved to two and two on the season.
• 1:01:36
  Arch Pitcher Murphy thirty eight to six over Squalicum. Let's see, Tyler.
• 1:01:40
  That brings us to our final game of Friday. So let's wrap up a
• 1:01:45
  Friday by heading to Coach's Corner with Jeff Wood. Coach, how are we
• 1:01:50
  doing doing great? Roland? Uh? You know this week you did what
• 1:01:54
  Tyler doesn't usually do, which is you made your way outside the county.
• 1:01:58
  We went down to Skatget County to watch Seahome in Burlington Edison and uh Seahome
• 1:02:02
  gets the fourteen seven win. But this is a game that at halftime was
• 1:02:06
  just seven nothing. Coach, what did you see in the first half?
• 1:02:08
  Yeah, you know, Sea Home had some some success early on. Actually
• 1:02:15
  given the ball to uh Fisher Hall on the ground and you know, the
• 1:02:22
  the past game wasn't working too well for him, and uncharacteristically, Nolan Right
• 1:02:29
  had a couple of interceptions. So Seaholmes defense had to really defend their own
• 1:02:34
  territory quite a bit early on and made made some stops and turned away Burlington
• 1:02:42
  and then Seahome got on the board with a nice pass from right to to
• 1:02:47
  Andre Watson and they're up seven seven nothing going into the half. Second half,
• 1:02:53
  Seahome gets touched down in the third quarter Braddock Duck were thirty six yards
• 1:02:59
  from right and then to kind of early to start the fourth quarter, Burlington
• 1:03:02
  Edison gets on the board with a two yard touchdown run and I'll tell you
• 1:03:06
  what that means. You got about you know, over ten minutes or so
• 1:03:08
  to even things up here. But Sea Home was able to pull it off.
• 1:03:13
  Coach, let's talk second half, Yeah, second half. Burlington got
• 1:03:16
  the ball coming out and again the Sea Home D. You know, they
• 1:03:22
  kind of gave up some yards, but they always made stops when they needed
• 1:03:27
  to, had a good pass rush and uh yeah, so their first actually
• 1:03:31
  their first play from scrimmage in the third quarter, they did a little uh
• 1:03:37
  bubble and go and Braddock Duckworth, who you know has been playing mostly tight
• 1:03:43
  end, was split out and he was the kind of end goo guy and
• 1:03:47
  went deep and Nolan hit him for I think it was like a thirty six
• 1:03:52
  yard touchdown, which which gave him the lead there. And then Burlington,
• 1:03:59
  you know, they had some success on the ground. They were their traditional
• 1:04:02
  wing tea this year, so they were they were kind of going right at
• 1:04:06
  Sea Home and and then they they hit a big couple criss cross plays and
• 1:04:14
  uh, you know they did they did get on the board there and made
• 1:04:18
  it made it a close game there, fourteen seven, uh and made for
• 1:04:24
  a tense fourth quarter for sure, but the Sea Home d buckled down,
• 1:04:29
  especially when they tried to throw the ball the defensive backfield of Sea Home.
• 1:04:34
  Uh, did a pretty good job locking that up, and the path for
• 1:04:38
  us got home for a few sacks for Sea Home as well. Both teams
• 1:04:42
  averaged about three point well about three yards of carries kind of where it was
• 1:04:46
  on the night. Uh. You mentioned Burlington Edison running the wing T forty
• 1:04:50
  seven carries one hundred and fifty nine yards, Sea Home thirty two carries for
• 1:04:54
  ninety one yards on the night, Sea Home is actually outgained two hundred to
• 1:04:59
  two hundred and eighteen for Burlington Edison Tyler some defensive numbers here, What do
• 1:05:04
  you got for me? Well, coach really nailed it on the head with
• 1:05:08
  getting to the quarterback when Burlington was trying to pass, uh four of sixteen
• 1:05:13
  you know, you know, twenty five percent completion percentage. But they got
• 1:05:16
  seven sacks on defense, with Braddick Duckworth getting three of them. They just
• 1:05:21
  were really really good at getting after the quarterback. There was a few other
• 1:05:25
  stops behind the line as well. Colby Chambers broke up a few passes,
• 1:05:30
  but Braddock Duckworth ten tackles on the night one tackle for lost three sacks really
• 1:05:33
  stood out on defense. Uh, Carl Back again as inside linebacker, had
• 1:05:39
  a really really good game. And Alden Jacobs as his safety. You know,
• 1:05:43
  he played corner as a sophomore, he transferred, he came back.
• 1:05:45
  He had nine tackles coming up and run support and making really good open field
• 1:05:50
  tackles. He played really well as well. So Coach is right, it
• 1:05:55
  was kind of that. You know, it's always like that chicken in the
• 1:05:57
  egg, is it? Is it the defensive backs that holding their ground to
• 1:06:00
  you know, so the defensive line can get to them or the other way
• 1:06:03
  around. And they kind of helped each other play a really good defensive game.
• 1:06:08
  Of course, Braddock Duckworth would have a good night on defense, Tyler,
• 1:06:11
  because I'm pretty sure you picked him, so he of course had to
• 1:06:15
  do that. If I picked him, he probably would have missed the game.
• 1:06:17
  I mean, he probably would have missed the bus altogether. He'd got
• 1:06:20
  stuck at Boomers getting a burger or something, right, Coach, any last
• 1:06:26
  words about the Sea Home Burlington Edison game. You know it was it was
• 1:06:30
  good for See Home to get back in the winning callumn and uh, you
• 1:06:35
  know another they're kind of on a road streak here. They had cedro Burlington.
• 1:06:42
  Now they're going to Lynden, so another game on the road for them,
• 1:06:45
  uh and uh on the grass. So we'll see if they can keep
• 1:06:51
  keep building on that. But Burlington, you know, with a new coach
• 1:06:55
  and a new system, they're they're still fighting hard. And I think Burlington
• 1:07:00
  in it's coming up to place squall to come at Civic. I believe that's
• 1:07:05
  one's at Civic, not one hundred percent, but so that should should be
• 1:07:10
  a good one too. You you mentioned some some road warriors here. That
• 1:07:14
  means there's no home cooking. Coach, you were down there in Scatchey County.
• 1:07:15
  Did you go get food or anything while you were down there? I
• 1:07:17
  have to ask you know, uh we uh didn't didn't get make a stop
• 1:07:27
  to get any food at the Fame train wreck. So I'll have to I'll
• 1:07:32
  have to hold that for next time I'm down there in scatche County. It's
• 1:07:35
  terribly disappointing, terribly disappointing. Alrighty see Home beats Burlington Edison fourteen to seven.
• 1:07:44
  This has been Coaches Corner with coaches Jeff Wood, coach, thanks for
• 1:07:46
  your time, alright, great being here. All right, Tyler, that's
• 1:07:51
  it for Friday. Let's move on to talk about It was a double header
• 1:07:56
  on Saturday, but one game in Wacom County, one game down here in
• 1:08:00
  Beautiful King County, if you will. Royal came to town to take on
• 1:08:04
  Lynden Christian. The Knights kind of do a little bit of what they do,
• 1:08:12
  if you will. I've seen some games over the years where Royal,
• 1:08:15
  it's it's real close in the first half, they make some adjustments and then
• 1:08:18
  boom pop off for some some points in the second half. And this game
• 1:08:23
  was seven seven at half time and ends up twenty eight seven, Royal getting
• 1:08:27
  the win over Lynden Christian. Tyler. You were out there, what'd you
• 1:08:30
  see? Yeah, I mean I saw I saw a lot of mistakes,
• 1:08:34
  a lot of penalties, a lot of a lot of turnovers. You know.
• 1:08:38
  It was that first game of the year for both teams where the weather
• 1:08:41
  was a factor, so it was just kind of you know, ball was
• 1:08:45
  slippery, so that was kind of a bummer. A lot different than last
• 1:08:49
  year's game where it was like ninety five degrees, you know, so very
• 1:08:54
  very different in that way. It was great. It was a huge turnout.
• 1:08:59
  Saw you know, I saw Isaiah Aldman and Charlie Ayres, Cooper Moore
• 1:09:02
  there. I saw some nooks at coaches, saw do kaliapiapi. You know,
• 1:09:09
  it's just so see a lot of people. I was up in the
• 1:09:12
  booth, had a little booth to myself, which was nice. I was
• 1:09:15
  really jacked for this one because we had talked about it in the last podcast,
• 1:09:19
  where you know, I knew about this. I've known about this game
• 1:09:21
  for a year and a half now, where Royal was going to come to
• 1:09:25
  Walking County. I just I just thought that was so cool. And I
• 1:09:28
  just you know, I didn't care who they were playing. They could have
• 1:09:30
  come here and played Kings and I would have loved to see that, even
• 1:09:34
  though there's no Walking County team involved. I I, you know, I
• 1:09:36
  got to see him last year live at the state championship game, which was
• 1:09:41
  really cool. And and but there's a there, there's a mystique about Royal
• 1:09:44
  and and I wanted to see them again and and and they you know,
• 1:09:49
  they had some some lot the lineman are so good and they just man,
• 1:09:54
  it's just hard to beat a team that is just so good. Up for
• 1:10:00
  Runt and they hung with him in the first half. You know, Royal,
• 1:10:03
  you know, getting a little bit down the field, and they break
• 1:10:06
  that one long pass play. They scored the touchdown that way, and Lennon
• 1:10:10
  Christian the second quarter out of nowhere goes into the full full I don't want
• 1:10:16
  to say full house wink with the wishbone, sorry, which they would do
• 1:10:20
  every once in a while with Dan Kamick as the coach. You know,
• 1:10:24
  Zach Sitma would be in at full back and goal line play and he'd scored
• 1:10:28
  some touchdowns or fourth and one where he'd rumble off a fifty yard touchdown run,
• 1:10:32
  and so they would they would have plays like that, but they haven't
• 1:10:36
  done that in a few years, especially since Greg Turpschist came over as the
• 1:10:41
  head coach. And all of a sudden, they come out in the in
• 1:10:44
  the wishbone and I'm and the first thing I thought of was you Ryland.
• 1:10:46
  Oh yeah. I was like, oh, he would love to see this,
• 1:10:50
  and and so I was all jacked up. And they put Jeremiah right
• 1:10:55
  at tight end, and they brought Eli Maybury and a quarterback, and they
• 1:10:58
  got Caden Stit in the backfield and they're just gonna pound it. Now.
• 1:11:00
  I'm like, okay, here's some old school football in some nasty weather.
• 1:11:03
  Let's do it. And it was working right off the bat. Driving down
• 1:11:06
  the field, Boom cadence tight, you know, wrembles off like a thirty
• 1:11:10
  yard run down the right sideline, They get inside the five, they score,
• 1:11:14
  They score a touchdown. You know Jeremiah Right who scored three touchdowns against
• 1:11:18
  Royal last year. He scores on a four yard touchdown run and they tie
• 1:11:23
  it up. Jacob Penner connects the extra point. They tied up. It
• 1:11:26
  goes in a halftime tied seven to seven, and uh, it was you
• 1:11:30
  know, I was on the halftime show with the Royal crew and we talked
• 1:11:35
  about it being you know, he asked, you know, Michael noftol last,
• 1:11:41
  you know, are you surprised that it's seven to seven? And I
• 1:11:44
  was like, yeah, you know, it's I am, but I expect
• 1:11:47
  a lot more scoring in the second half because you know, it's just it's
• 1:11:51
  like, I think both teams have that feeling of obviously they're thinking of last
• 1:11:58
  year's games, so l see is you know, wanting to prove that they
• 1:12:01
  are for real. Royal really wants to get back at him, but they
• 1:12:03
  just went on their longest bus ride they've ever been on before. Wait,
• 1:12:09
  is that is that true? Yeah, I think it's the furthest they've ever
• 1:12:12
  been. Well, I know that Michael was saying, that's the furthest they've
• 1:12:15
  gone to broadcast a game. Yeah, because I mean I'm thinking about it,
• 1:12:17
  Like in the years I've I've been watching you know, Royal, I
• 1:12:20
  don't remember them, you know, going out to even Gray's Harbor, which
• 1:12:26
  would be further. But like I don't remember them playing at a Hoquium or
• 1:12:30
  an Aberdeen, you know, anything like that. Not the top of my
• 1:12:33
  head at least, because you know, back you know years ago, when
• 1:12:36
  you had the state tournament, you wouldn't have had a lot of travel because
• 1:12:41
  it would have been Royal playing mostly teams from eastern side of the state,
• 1:12:45
  you know what I mean, So it was a little bit harder to try
• 1:12:46
  to have those things. Yeah, I mean, I guess I never really
• 1:12:48
  thought about that that that is a decent little bus ride for them. Yeah.
• 1:12:51
  The thing is, it's totally different for them, right Like Lynn and
• 1:12:54
  Christian Week one, they traveled you know, four thousand miles or whatever it
• 1:12:58
  was to go play Lakeside. Well, Royals right in the middle of the
• 1:13:01
  state, so everything's a couple hours away, you know what I mean type
• 1:13:05
  of Yeah, a little different than in the it was. You know,
• 1:13:09
  it was tough. It was you know, Elsie, I think they were
• 1:13:12
  pressing a little bit, and I think that they both feel like there's a
• 1:13:16
  lot on the line here and we've been waiting for that, so they're just
• 1:13:19
  you know, the nerves kind of got to them. And and for both
• 1:13:23
  teams, like I said, there's a lot of penalties, a lot of
• 1:13:25
  mistakes, a lot of turnovers. But Royal really cleaned that up in the
• 1:13:28
  second half, kind of really took control in the second half. There wasn't
• 1:13:33
  that much that Elsie could do. Elsie did pick off four passes in the
• 1:13:39
  game, but I mean it just didn't amount too much. You know.
• 1:13:42
  The Nights were just you know, too strong up front. They handled the
• 1:13:45
  weather better, especially in the passing game, and they just did what they
• 1:13:49
  do. Yeah, I mean, you know, Tyler, it's actually kind
• 1:13:53
  of crazy when I look at it now too. Seven total interceptions in this
• 1:13:57
  game. Yeah, and there was three lost fumbles. I mean, it
• 1:14:00
  was it was pretty messy out there. Yeah, that is a that's kind
• 1:14:03
  of an ugly, ugly football game. But you mentioned the wishbone, so
• 1:14:09
  I'm warm over here. But three hundred and thirty six yards for Royal,
• 1:14:14
  one hundred and forty seven for LC. Yeah, I mean, this is
• 1:14:17
  kind of one of those things. Like I said, this is kind of
• 1:14:19
  what Royal does at times if it's a close early they find ways of making
• 1:14:24
  some adjustments, doing some things, or you know, they get in and
• 1:14:27
  they talk about a couple of things and go, oh, yeah, let's
• 1:14:29
  do that, and then before you know it, they're you know, up
• 1:14:32
  twenty one. That being said Tyler really quickly about the halftime show, Well,
• 1:14:39
  what was it like to put on a headset and really have to lower
• 1:14:42
  yourself to the to the people around you. You're probably not used to talking
• 1:14:47
  to people that aren't as qualified as I am. Right, Oh my goodness,
• 1:14:51
  I knew this was gonna happen. It was actually pretty It was a
• 1:14:56
  really cool setting that they had. I tell you, it was really nice
• 1:15:00
  headset, that's for sure. And it was fun talking to them. You
• 1:15:05
  know, I've gotten a known Michael a little bit over the years. You
• 1:15:09
  know, we talked for about thirty minutes on the phone once before the before
• 1:15:14
  the LC game when they played in the state championship years ago, twenty nineteen,
• 1:15:18
  and you know, he just got a hold of me and I was
• 1:15:21
  just like, you know, what should I know about LC. I'm announcing
• 1:15:26
  the game. And that was my first time ever talking to him. I
• 1:15:28
  got to meet him last year at the state championship game. Super nice guy.
• 1:15:31
  Uh, it was, it was It was cool, you know,
• 1:15:33
  I I you know, he messaged me before the game. He's like,
• 1:15:36
  is there going to be a covered area where we could set up as it
• 1:15:40
  covered stands? I said, yes, sir, you're good. He asked
• 1:15:43
  me about a lunch as well. I gave him the same recommendation you did,
• 1:15:47
  and so I think that. Uh. And then I just I wanted
• 1:15:50
  to touch base with him before the game, make sure I knew exactly where
• 1:15:54
  he was so I wouldn't miss him, and went up to the booth.
• 1:15:57
  I went straight down and and I got to talk a little bit, and
• 1:16:00
  you know, we got to talk about walking preps and do another sports and
• 1:16:02
  things like that, and you know, it's nice to him to give me
• 1:16:05
  a platform like that, and and uh, yeah, it was. It
• 1:16:11
  was. It was fun. I mean, it's you know, it's something
• 1:16:13
  a little bit different. And I don't know if anyone in Royal knows who
• 1:16:15
  I am or could pick me out of a lineup, but it was good.
• 1:16:18
  Oh they could pick you out of a lineup. They'd be the guy
• 1:16:20
  that lights up the whole boot by himself without having to without having to have
• 1:16:26
  lights on. It was bundled up pretty well. I just had a Mariners
• 1:16:29
  jacket on, but I did have white shorts, so I was I guess
• 1:16:32
  it was a little It's one of those things, Tyler with Royal, like
• 1:16:36
  they just they don't rub it in your face. They you know what I
• 1:16:40
  mean. Like it's really hard to dislike that program, you know what I
• 1:16:43
  mean. Like the people of Walkom County are probably sick of him because they've
• 1:16:46
  played him a few times here. But yeah, I mean all at all.
• 1:16:49
  Tyler, twenty eight seven, Royal over Lynn and Christian on Saturday.
• 1:16:54
  Now, the nightcap was down there at the Beautiful You know, Tyler,
• 1:17:00
  it's called Harold berg Field, but it doesn't say it on the scoreboard anymore.
• 1:17:05
  M I walked by and I don't know, I know the scoreboard is
• 1:17:10
  new, but it's it's got to be at least six or seven years old
• 1:17:12
  now. But yeah, I mean, and I've been there a couple of
• 1:17:15
  times, and I guess I just didn't notice it. But it doesn't say
• 1:17:17
  the name of the stadium. I'm not gonna lie. Pretty disappointing and I
• 1:17:21
  think it should be named something else. But that being said, Cedar Park
• 1:17:26
  Christian uses that for their home stadium, which is way better than what they
• 1:17:29
  used to do. They used to play out at a Redman High School,
• 1:17:31
  which is way away from the school. But yeah, Cedar Park Christian finds
• 1:17:35
  a way against Blaine nine to seven. Tyler, we haven't talked about how
• 1:17:41
  we want to handle this one. Do you want me to talk? Do
• 1:17:42
  you want to talk? What do we want to do here? Well,
• 1:17:45
  why don't you start? You you were there for the entire game. I
• 1:17:47
  watched the film and caught some of it live. But curious what you saw
• 1:17:54
  field level? What is the last time you saw Blaine? Actually, my
• 1:17:57
  first question, I would assume it was that lumin field. Well, it
• 1:18:01
  would have been quest, I believe at the time when Mario Gobato was playing.
• 1:18:04
  That's what I thought. Yeah, it's been a while, So who
• 1:18:08
  was the young who was the tight end that went to UNLV Andrew Price.
• 1:18:13
  Yeah, I'm pretty sure he was on that team as well, because I
• 1:18:15
  think I think it's funny because if I remember correctly, he's the guy I
• 1:18:17
  was excited to see and then I was like, who the hell is is
• 1:18:20
  running back? Like this guy is awesome? Yeah, and that was if
• 1:18:25
  I can remember right. No, I don't think that was the first game
• 1:18:28
  of the day. It well, but it was opening week, I know
• 1:18:30
  that. No, Yeah, well, but I think they played like that.
• 1:18:34
  I think there was five games that day, and if I remember,
• 1:18:38
  I think the first game was Orville versus Darington. And then who did they
• 1:18:43
  play? Do you remember who they played in that one? Was that the
• 1:18:45
  one where they played like Hazen? Yes, it was Hazen, that's right,
• 1:18:48
  Yeah, And I remember I think it was the punter for Hazen had
• 1:18:53
  the ball go over his head. He went down to his knees to pick
• 1:18:56
  it or went down to pick it up and then just got absolutely railroaded and
• 1:19:00
  ended up getting taken out by an ambulance. And he was okay. But
• 1:19:06
  I remember like figuring to myself, Hey, when you're trying to get five
• 1:19:10
  games in a day, that's I mean, obviously you don't ever want to
• 1:19:14
  have somebody, but like that's one thing you can't do to try to keep
• 1:19:15
  games on time is to have a long injury or something like that. Like,
• 1:19:20
  but that I remember that was a good day. That was also the
• 1:19:23
  day that was It was Seattle Prep and Mercer Island and it came down to
• 1:19:30
  a extra point that hit the crossbar and it was the only extra point that
• 1:19:35
  kicker missed in his entire high school career, and he ended up kicking at
• 1:19:40
  USC. Yeah, and it was the only one he missed his entire career.
• 1:19:45
  It was wild and the quarterback was Jeff Linquis, who ended up quarterbacking
• 1:19:47
  at you dub and actually, Tyler, this is I don't want to get
• 1:19:53
  too far off topic here, but this is kind of funny too. They
• 1:19:56
  were up, Mercer Island was up or excuse me, see Prep was up
• 1:20:00
  big in that game. They're up like twenty eight nothing and I was sitting
• 1:20:03
  behind the Mercer Island band by about I don't know, six or seven rows
• 1:20:08
  and they kept playing Don't Stop Believing. And I remember I remember every time
• 1:20:12
  they would have played I was like, come on, guys, like you're
• 1:20:14
  down twenty eight nothing and next you know, it's like going to overtime and
• 1:20:16
  I'm like, ohly crap. The band was right. But that being said,
• 1:20:21
  Tyler, yeah, cedar part Christian Blaine. You know, I talked
• 1:20:25
  to coach Olsen after the game and the thing the thing I said to him
• 1:20:29
  was just, you know, very simple. Blaine did some really nice things.
• 1:20:32
  They did, you know, the one hundred. Yeah, Vizetti had
• 1:20:36
  a forty eight yard touchdown reception from Colin Davis. It was great. That
• 1:20:44
  was awesome. I think it was maybe the first play of the game Tyler
• 1:20:47
  where ye d yeah, and I was like, wow, there we go,
• 1:20:51
  Like that's a heck of a start. But then everything stalled, and
• 1:20:56
  you know, there was one point where they got the ball after a pun
• 1:21:00
  and a penalty. I think they started the drive at like the twenty and
• 1:21:03
  got it down to well, actually they went backwards and then there was a
• 1:21:10
  third and fifteen. I think it was might have even been fourth and fifteen,
• 1:21:15
  but a pass to Justin Menuirez for sixteen. Great, now they're down
• 1:21:23
  inside the inside the one they get called for assisting the runner. I think
• 1:21:28
  it might have been you know, one or two plays let it might have
• 1:21:30
  even been the very next play interception and it's running the other way. And
• 1:21:34
  so they did some really nice things, but it was like almost as though
• 1:21:40
  they could get one really nice thing every drive, but they couldn't really put
• 1:21:45
  it together until you were done doing some stats of another game, and all
• 1:21:48
  of sudden you turned it on and the game started going crazy. You know,
• 1:21:53
  when you look at the tyler if you just look at the fourth quarter
• 1:21:55
  alone, I don't know what the stats are just for the fourth quarter,
• 1:21:58
  but Blaine dominated absolutely right, Yeah, they were. They were. Yeah,
• 1:22:02
  they had the all the momentum in the world. They had the possession
• 1:22:04
  most of the two time. I think that the whole fourth quarter of the
• 1:22:08
  seater part Christian maybe had they had like two three and outs or no,
• 1:22:11
  they had they had they had one drive where they throw an interception on the
• 1:22:15
  only play their drive, and the other one was a three and out.
• 1:22:16
  It was an interception by number six. I don't remember what his was,
• 1:22:19
  Thomas Cox. Yeah. Yeah, And that's the thing, you know,
• 1:22:23
  it was just it was one of those It was one of those games where
• 1:22:26
  you're just like, oh, man, like nothing, like I don't want
• 1:22:30
  to say, nothing could go right because they did some really nice things again,
• 1:22:33
  but they just couldn't put it all together at the same time. You
• 1:22:38
  know, and Riley I takes his glove off, and before you know it,
• 1:22:42
  he's back there playing quarterback, breaks off a couple of nice little runs
• 1:22:45
  and then breaks off a good one, gets blasted, but in the process
• 1:22:49
  hurts himself, and you know, then it kind of changed where they were
• 1:22:54
  going with things. And you know, they just they couldn't really connect on
• 1:22:58
  passes. At times they would connect on him here or there, and yeah,
• 1:23:01
  it's just one of those games where you're like, oh, man,
• 1:23:04
  like if he could have just caught that pass, extend the drive a little
• 1:23:09
  bit, and you know, do some things. I mean, all in
• 1:23:11
  all, I thought they I thought they fought hard, they kept playing when
• 1:23:16
  things weren't going their way. They weren't getting some calls and I heard I
• 1:23:19
  heard some of the Blaine fans, But your whistle, Now, I don't
• 1:23:24
  necessarily disagree with the calls. And by the way, the white hat in
• 1:23:28
  that game, I've seen that guy around it games a lot in my area.
• 1:23:31
  He's one of the best in the state. That guy is really really
• 1:23:33
  good. The other four guys, I didn't recognize them, but yeah,
• 1:23:38
  that being said, I mean, you know, Tyler, when you look
• 1:23:40
  at it, it was a seventy six yard touchdown pass from Cedar Park Christian
• 1:23:44
  and then there was a safety where Cedar Park Christian didn't really have to do
• 1:23:48
  anything. They the ball hit the punter right in the chest and then I
• 1:23:54
  think it hit him right in the chest, went down to the ground,
• 1:23:57
  he fell on it in the end zone, and I mean that's all the
• 1:23:59
  sing that they did. I mean, really for Seed to Part Christian,
• 1:24:01
  it was it was two offensive well one offensive play and a and a fumble
• 1:24:06
  by the punter and that's how they win at nine to seven. I mean,
• 1:24:10
  now give a lot of credit to Seed a Part Christian because defensively they
• 1:24:13
  did some really really nice things, especially down on the goal line late in
• 1:24:16
  the game. I mean, it looked like they were bringing fourteen guys,
• 1:24:19
  like I don't know where they got all these guys. I don't know why
• 1:24:21
  they were all on the field at once. As a matter of fact,
• 1:24:24
  I think they only had like twenty four suited up, so I don't know
• 1:24:28
  who was on the sideline because it looked like everybody was on the field,
• 1:24:30
  but they were really crashing hard. And I mean, you gotta give a
• 1:24:32
  lot of credit to those guys because they did some great things. But yeah,
• 1:24:38
  I mean there was definitely some encouraging moments for Blaine, you know,
• 1:24:41
  and like I said, in the fourth quarter, man, they looked they
• 1:24:44
  looked good. You know, they were finally moving the ball. You could
• 1:24:45
  see their confidence growing. As the confidence grew, the plays kind of you
• 1:24:49
  know, ticked one after another and booming, before you know it, they're
• 1:24:53
  down inside the five and next you know, I'm in the back of the
• 1:24:56
  end zone trying to get a video of something cool to happen, and it
• 1:24:59
  just kind of never happened. I mean, it was kind of one of
• 1:25:01
  those things where I mean there's multiple times, Tyler where I think I told
• 1:25:05
  you, like you're gonna hate watching the film here, or like you're gonna
• 1:25:10
  hate that play like that is that is one that you're gonna watch and just
• 1:25:13
  go, oh, my goodness, like how did that happen? But yeah,
• 1:25:16
  I mean on the night, Blaine two hundred and seventy three yards Cedar
• 1:25:19
  Park, Christian one seventy one. So Blaine out gains them by what one
• 1:25:25
  hundred and two yards. I mean, yeah, more more rushing yards,
• 1:25:28
  more passing yards. They're in the ball considerable, considerably amount of more plays.
• 1:25:35
  Yeah, it's just it's tough, you know. I mean, you're
• 1:25:40
  right, they have some good things happen, but then some bad things happen.
• 1:25:43
  And just you know, if you're gonna be a good team, you
• 1:25:45
  have to have more good things happen than bad things happen. It's simple math.
• 1:25:48
  But it's uh, you know, they're still they're still growing. Uh,
• 1:25:53
  they have some talented pieces. They got some good young players. You
• 1:25:56
  know, both are running backs, they're quarterback. They're all juniors. Vezzetti
• 1:26:00
  is a senior, Menuirez is a senior, Deming's a senior, but Kai
• 1:26:03
  Kerwin's a sophomore. You know, Riley EIDs a senior. Two. But
• 1:26:08
  I really liked what their defensive ends did too. I thought, I thought
• 1:26:11
  Zu and Connor Dalry, you know, a couple of guys at about six
• 1:26:16
  flour coming off the edge. They did some really really good things getting after
• 1:26:21
  the quarterback. You know, they had a couple of sacks. Victor Gerval
• 1:26:25
  had a sack, some stops behind the line of scrimmage. Connor Dalry had
• 1:26:29
  that fight, caused that fumble and then ran after it when the ball squirted
• 1:26:31
  out about twenty yards to midfield, and he thought he had a scoop and
• 1:26:35
  score, but he just had a scoop. The exact same thing happened,
• 1:26:39
  and I want to say it was week one against Port Angelis same exact thing
• 1:26:43
  with a ball scooted out, shot way out to midfield. He picked it
• 1:26:46
  up and ran for about twenty five yards that time and got and got tackled.
• 1:26:49
  But uh, he's a really talented kid that doesn't get the ball in
• 1:26:54
  his hands that much on offense, but you can see what happens when he
• 1:26:56
  does get the ball in his hands. Uh, you nailed on the head.
• 1:26:59
  I mean, it was just it's just one of those where you're just
• 1:27:01
  like, and the fourth quarter they were great, and you know it's almost
• 1:27:08
  like, if let's say the safety does not happen, right, and it
• 1:27:11
  was seven to seven, that's one of those ones where if it's going to
• 1:27:14
  overtime, Blaine's winning that because they had all the momentum in the world.
• 1:27:17
  Unfortunately the safety does happen. That is a rule in football, and nine
• 1:27:21
  to seven is the difference. And I'm just glad you stayed for all nine
• 1:27:25
  innings. Yeah. Well, and I mean it's it's I think it's pretty
• 1:27:30
  I don't know how what the word is I'm looking for here, but an
• 1:27:33
  obvious thing to say. But also one of those things it's like, wow,
• 1:27:36
  it doesn't matter because it did happen. But you know, losing Riley
• 1:27:40
  I just really, you know, because they finally had a couple of nice
• 1:27:43
  plays and kind of get some and then boom, you know, and and
• 1:27:45
  he's just so important to that team, you know. I mean, he
• 1:27:48
  just really is. And you know there was times where you know, they
• 1:27:55
  how do I say this, they it looked as though Cedar park Christian knew
• 1:28:00
  who he was and it kind of got other guys open at times, you
• 1:28:03
  know, and and different things like that. And I mean there was a
• 1:28:06
  really nice play Tyler. I want to say it was on like a third
• 1:28:09
  and long where it was just a nothing special. I think it was just
• 1:28:14
  a post route and Deming came across, caught the ball, got tackled like
• 1:28:18
  right there on the spot, but hung onto the ball. This is kind
• 1:28:20
  of late in the game, and you're like, oh man, like those
• 1:28:25
  balls were just not getting completed in the first half, right, you know,
• 1:28:29
  really in the first three quarters, you know, And and it was
• 1:28:31
  just one of those. Man, He's just there's so many just small,
• 1:28:34
  little missed opportunities. But you mentioned it also, you know they're young.
• 1:28:40
  I can't remember the name. The young man's name, Tyler, you'll you'll,
• 1:28:44
  I know, you know it, the left guard, the sophomore,
• 1:28:46
  Yeah, Malachi Marillo. Yeah, it's a large individual, man. I
• 1:28:50
  mean, he's he's a big boy. And I'll tell you what he's he's
• 1:28:54
  got a lot of things to work on. But that's a guy that that
• 1:28:57
  you can win with because he's he's out there fighting. I mean, that's
• 1:29:00
  a guy that you know, obviously he's not throwing punches, but that's a
• 1:29:04
  guy that's it's, you know, going toe to toe every play. You
• 1:29:08
  know, Victor Gerval, he's just yeah, I mean another guy that just
• 1:29:12
  fights, you know that they Yeah, And the thing is is you look
• 1:29:16
  at that offensive line. You just go, man, they are big,
• 1:29:20
  like that is a big offensive line. And I mean there's there's a lot
• 1:29:24
  of encouraging things, that's for sure, you know, But at the end
• 1:29:28
  of the day Cedar Park Christian nine to seven over Blaine. By the way,
• 1:29:30
  shout out to the Blaine fans. There was a lot when when I
• 1:29:34
  showed up, I'm thinking to myself, all right, what are we gonna
• 1:29:36
  get here? Ten fifteen? You know how many kids are on the sideline?
• 1:29:41
  Give me two parents for each, right, Like, is that what
• 1:29:43
  we're gonna get here? No, there was actually, I mean, Tyther,
• 1:29:46
  I've said it before about other things. If you wanted to rob a
• 1:29:48
  house in Blaine, that was the night. I mean there was nobody home
• 1:29:51
  up there. I mean it was. It was pretty cool to see so
• 1:29:55
  many Blaine fans on a Saturday in the rain, you know, not undercover
• 1:30:00
  because like Washington School District, we can't afford roofs. Apparently, as a
• 1:30:04
  matter of fact, one, two, three, four schools, not a
• 1:30:08
  single one has a roof. Actually, the only roof in the area really
• 1:30:13
  is Bellevue and they've only got a like two sections covered well other than Popkini,
• 1:30:17
  which is the greatest setting in high school football. But that's a story
• 1:30:19
  for another day, Tyler. That being said, that's it, that's it.
• 1:30:24
  All ten games have now been talked about. I'm exhausted. I don't
• 1:30:29
  know about you, but I'm I'm getting it pretty good here. Yeah.
• 1:30:32
  The good thing is from here on out, this is pretty quick. So
• 1:30:36
  let's talk about the pickums really quick, Tyler. You and Joe Consensus had
• 1:30:41
  rough days. As a matter of fact, I don't know how this happened,
• 1:30:45
  but Joe Consensus went five and five. Yeah. It's a crazy week,
• 1:30:49
  man. Yeah, I mean, somebody throw the guy at football.
• 1:30:53
  I mean that is unbelievable for Joe Consensus to go five and five, six
• 1:30:58
  and four from Connor myself and who's the guy. Oh yeah, Jeff Wood,
• 1:31:03
  Yeah, coach Wood. I was like Jeff and the first thing to
• 1:31:05
  go goes through my head is Bearden. But I'm like, there's no way
• 1:31:08
  he went six and four maybe four? And see the way Jeff Beards still
• 1:31:12
  sending me picks every week just to see how he does. Well. How's
• 1:31:15
  he doing? He's doing pretty good. I just love having him on it
• 1:31:18
  every time on week one where he where none of us do well. You
• 1:31:21
  know, it makes him look good. We'll tell me this though, like
• 1:31:25
  like is he keeping his own stats? Are you doing it? What's going
• 1:31:27
  on there? He just he just sends him in and he always like,
• 1:31:30
  he just sends him in. He goes, I know, I'm not picking.
• 1:31:33
  I just want to see how I do. And you know what,
• 1:31:35
  Tyler, I totally forgot about this. Have you looked at the graphic to
• 1:31:40
  see the scores that we all picked? Yeah? Okay, did you happen
• 1:31:45
  to notice that Connor picked Lynden twenty eight twenty seven? Yeah, but that's
• 1:31:49
  wrong. What it was twenty nine twenty eight? Oh that's what? Oh
• 1:31:55
  and I and I had that, but I had Cedar Wholy Yeah exactly,
• 1:32:00
  yeah. Yeah, because somebody commented and said, like after like they commented
• 1:32:04
  on the earlier post after Friday Night and said, Ryland nailed it. Yeah,
• 1:32:10
  and I was gonna be like I thought he picked seedro yeah, And
• 1:32:13
  then then I looked. I was like, oh, okay, nailed the
• 1:32:15
  score. But I also came pretty close on the uh well not pretty close,
• 1:32:18
  but I also got up there on the on the I was the closest
• 1:32:23
  one of getting Nook sex score right because I had fifty eight. There was
• 1:32:27
  one other one that was really close. Oh was it? Was it?
• 1:32:30
  Jeff? Yeah? Jeff went with thirty eight seven for Squalid Coming but it
• 1:32:34
  was thirty eight six, right the arch Bishop. Yeah, yeah, pretty
• 1:32:39
  crazy. I mean there's yeah. Uh and obviously I was way off on
• 1:32:43
  the Arlington's score. Seventeen fifteen is what I picked. Yeah, I mean,
• 1:32:47
  it's pretty funny to look at this stuff and just it's almost you put
• 1:32:50
  so much thought into your scores of your games. Let's be honest, there
• 1:32:55
  is a code here. Well yeah, I mean you think I just do
• 1:33:00
  this for free, like I just I mean, Tyler, I have a
• 1:33:02
  lot of pride here, a matter of pride, Tyler. Yeah, we
• 1:33:09
  were all way off on the Blade score. There was another one that we
• 1:33:13
  were all way off on. Also, I don't remember which one. It
• 1:33:15
  was Bellingham. Oh yeah, I was gonna say I think it was the
• 1:33:18
  maybe the Belling Yeah it was Bellingham one. Well, we were all pretty
• 1:33:21
  far off on the Ferndale game. I mean, let's just be honest here.
• 1:33:25
  It's ridiculous for us to even put scores here. But it's fun to
• 1:33:28
  look at later on and go, wow, what the heck were we thinking
• 1:33:30
  on that one? Oh? No, it was it was the Sea home
• 1:33:33
  game, you know, like, yeah I put forty five, Connor put
• 1:33:36
  forty four. You put twenty eight. Like, I mean, we were
• 1:33:41
  all, well, you were the closest at twenty eight to ten and that
• 1:33:44
  score was at fourteen seven. Yeah yeah, I mean not not real close.
• 1:33:49
  Okay, So let's see here on the season, Tyler, you are
• 1:33:54
  twenty one and fourteen. You're in dead last, twenty two and thirteen for
• 1:33:59
  myself, the guests, and for Joe consensus, Nate at twenty four and
• 1:34:03
  eleven and Connor at twenty five and ten. So Connor and Nate getting one
• 1:34:09
  step closer there with Nate pulling out the one what do you call it?
• 1:34:13
  One like one game and the wind callumn this week. So yeah, well
• 1:34:17
  we'll get back at it this week. I got a feeling I'm going,
• 1:34:20
  uh, you know, undefeated this week. I just I just have a
• 1:34:25
  good feeling about it. Tyler. Let's talk of players of the week.
• 1:34:29
  And first off, we gotta talk about the offensive player of the week,
• 1:34:30
  and that has brought to you by A zazen A Salon SPA eleven bell Weather

• 1:34:40
  That is zazen Salon SPA Offensive Player of the Week. Tyler, give it
• 1:34:43
  to me. It is Josh Leonard of Bellingham. There's a lot to choose
• 1:34:47
  from in this week. There was a lot of high scoring but and there's
• 1:34:51
  a few guys even from just Bellingham alone, that I could have chose,
• 1:34:55
  But Josh Leonard running the show. Great completion percentage twenty three of thirty three
• 1:35:00
  hundred and fifty five yards. That's a career high. Also five touchdown passes
• 1:35:03
  another career high. He was really on his game and delivered some great deep
• 1:35:10
  passes and he's your Zazen Salon SPA Offensive Player of the Week. The Max
• 1:35:15
  Hair Studio Defensive Player of the Week Tyler Max Hair Studio at at Bella's Fair

  Mall three six zero six seven one sixteen at twenty seven. The Max Hair
• 1:35:25
  Studio Defensive Player of the Week Tyler. Who is it again? This is?
• 1:35:29
  This was a lot of guys that were really really close on this.
• 1:35:33
  I settled with Jordan Stone, the sophomore outside linebacker from Bellingham once again.
• 1:35:39
  Uh three tackles on the game, one forced fumble, one interception that it
• 1:35:43
  returned fifty three yards for a touchdown, and one fumble returned for a touchdown.
• 1:35:47
  Those two defensive touchdowns that came in the second half. Those were the
• 1:35:51
  two nails in the coffin to get Bellingham into the wind. Callumn. Just
• 1:35:55
  an unbelievable game for Jordan's stone, you know that on that edge, a
• 1:36:00
  really hard hitter. Super excited. We get to see him for a couple
• 1:36:03
  more years. He's your Max Harris Studio Defensive Player of the Week. Pets

• 1:36:20
  Tyler Well, this one was actually tough. You would think, for sure
• 1:36:26
  it was an easy one. But when Brady Brulin broke off that ninety seven
• 1:36:29
  yard kickoff returned for a touchdown, I thought, well, he's got it.
• 1:36:32
  But I was like, you know, with records being broken and everything,
• 1:36:39
  I have to go with Jorgan Vigory or Jorgan Jordan. Jorgan Vigory.
• 1:36:44
  He ten of eleven on extra points. He did, he did miss one,
• 1:36:47
  but in the process he established two new school records, one being the
• 1:36:53
  most career extra points made in school history, one being the most extra points
• 1:36:58
  made in a single game, which he tied a couple of weeks ago.
• 1:37:00
  He tied that record, he broke it up this week, and he's probably
• 1:37:05
  gonna break the most extra points in a season, So he's gonna have the
• 1:37:10
  tr effect at some point. Most in the game, most in a season,
• 1:37:13
  most in a career. Yeah. So, Jorgan Vigory, he is

  fun to watch the film and see what offensive lineman is him making these huge
• 1:37:51
  holes for these big, big plays, And it jumped off the screen at
• 1:37:57
  me. This week, Lincoln Hope for the junior right tackle for Meridian six
• 1:38:01
  five, two hundred and fifty five pounds. Just a massive dude. You
• 1:38:04
  know you see this every once intone high school football with all five guys in
• 1:38:08
  a three point stance, and you see the one guy that just looks different
• 1:38:11
  than everybody else. And that's what it looks like up at Meridian and and
• 1:38:15
  you know they're it's a great offensive line. They're all underclassmen. They're really
• 1:38:18
  really strong. But Lincoln Hofer is a different athlete. He's probably he's the
• 1:38:24
  biggest one for sure. He's probably the strongest, and he's definitely the fastest
• 1:38:28
  as well. Great athlete. He was sealing off some blocks, he was
• 1:38:31
  downfield blocking guys on screen passes. A great athlete you could really really get
• 1:38:38
  after it. Really loved what I saw from Lincoln Hofer. So he's your
• 1:38:41
  Bell Anderson Insurance offensive Lineman of the Week. What years he Tyler, he's
• 1:38:45
  a junior junior. Oh yeah, Zazen Salon, Spa, Max Harr Studio,

• 1:38:55
  and be sure to visit our sponsors and let them know you heard about their
• 1:38:58
  business on the WACOM Reps podcast. Tyler, let's talk about the fantasy.
• 1:39:02
  Actually, let's not. Tyler. I am now one and three on the
• 1:39:09
  season. As you just absolutely took me to the woodshed one ninety one point
• 1:39:14
  six to ninety seven point seven on your FM dial. I only say that
• 1:39:18
  because that's what you put here on the sheet, Tyler, and I read
• 1:39:20
  everything you write. Yeah, Nolan right, thirteen point three points for you,
• 1:39:25
  Marcus Nixon sixteen point one for me, quarterback was looking good. I
• 1:39:29
  was on my way. Landon Downey nineteen points for you at running back Joshton
• 1:39:33
  Elmer twenty three point two. I'm really on my way. Andre Watson fourteen
• 1:39:40
  point three for you. At receiver Riley Ide, who again went down with
• 1:39:44
  an injury. Two point four points for me, So at least he got
• 1:39:46
  me a little something before you had to go. But then it really got
• 1:39:50
  out of control. Nooksack Valley ninety one points for offensive line, Tyler,
• 1:39:58
  what the crap? You had a as many almost as many points? Just
• 1:40:01
  what the offensive line is? I had total? I mean, and I
• 1:40:05
  wanted to go over this because I knew you were gonna maybe maybe question it.
• 1:40:10
  But the point system for offensive line, we might need to go over
• 1:40:14
  this again just to I mean, obviously every week it's a big points,
• 1:40:17
  yeah score for us, right, but it's basically you get one point for
• 1:40:21
  every twenty five yards of offense and you get six points for every touchdown.
• 1:40:26
  That's it, That's all it is. They just had one of those weeks.
• 1:40:29
  Man, Yeah, ninety one points. Like, I don't know what
• 1:40:33
  I'm supposed to do, Like unless Nolan right landed Downyandre Watson, Nooksack Valley's
• 1:40:40
  defense, Charlie Ayers, Braddock Duckworth, and Boom Boom Vigor unless they all
• 1:40:44
  miss the bus. Yeah, I mean I was pretty much out of luck.
• 1:40:46
  I mean unbelievable. Tyler and Blaine's offensive line seventeen points. I didn't
• 1:40:50
  mean a little little help there. Nooksack Valley's defense nine points, Blaine's defense
• 1:40:57
  for me eight points, so you only got me. I won there.
• 1:41:00
  Charlie Ayers gets you eight points in the front seven. DeAndre Dunmore twenty five
• 1:41:05
  for me in the front seven. But then we've pretty much flipped on the
• 1:41:10
  other side. Braddock Duckworth gets you twenty seven in the back seven, while
• 1:41:14
  landed down he gets me four. Grady Evans two points for me at kicker,
• 1:41:17
  and our guy Boom Boom with ten. Now, Tyler was that that
• 1:41:23
  was just ten for one for each extra point? Right? Yeah? I
• 1:41:26
  just won for extra point. Yes, yeah, so yeah one. No,
• 1:41:30
  no bonus points for breaking any records or anything. Yeah, well,
• 1:41:32
  it wasn't sure if it was like one of those things where you know,
• 1:41:34
  a half a point for an extra point and you know three for a field
• 1:41:38
  goal or something. It's just I don't have his numbers right in front of
• 1:41:41
  me. Actually I do right there, ten of eleven extra points because he
• 1:41:44
  was the Pets Real Estate Special Teams Player of the Week Pets real Estate dot
• 1:41:47
  Com. Tyler one ninety one point six to ninety seven point seven. That
• 1:41:54
  is what we call a butt whooping. I mean, Tyler, you basically
• 1:41:58
  you won because of nooksack, and that basically makes me Hoquiam. I mean,
• 1:42:01
  that's pretty much what we're looking at here. No, I wouldn't say
• 1:42:04
  that. I'm not taking shots at Hoquiam, although I've done it a couple
• 1:42:08
  of times tonight. Yeah. By the way, they do have like there's
• 1:42:14
  actually quite a few good Burger places down there, so I really should they
• 1:42:16
  got a Burger place, Tyler. I don't know if it's actually in Hokim
• 1:42:19
  where, if it's in Aberdeen. It's like one of those ones where I'm
• 1:42:21
  not sure exactly where the lion is or something. I think it's in Hoquium,
• 1:42:25
  at least I thought it was Al's Humdinger. Do you remember Green River
• 1:42:29
  soda? Oh? Yeah, So first off, not too many places have
• 1:42:32
  Green River soda anymore. But they have a Green River shake. Oh.
• 1:42:39
  I think you told me about this years ago. It's awesome, Paul,
• 1:42:43
  Yeah, wow. I mean that's the type of shake that's so good.
• 1:42:46
  I don't even need a burger at that joint, and they got good burgers.
• 1:42:49
  There's another place. I can't remember the name of the other places,
• 1:42:53
  and I'm pretty sure it was actually in Aberdeen, but it's on your way
• 1:42:56
  to Hoquiam, and I got one of those burgers that has is that of
• 1:43:00
  having a bun. It's got a grilled cheese sandwich on either side. You.
• 1:43:04
  Oh yeah, babe, As Emerald Legassi would say, all right,
• 1:43:10
  Tyler, we got anything else? I mean, we're right now. Let's
• 1:43:12

• 1:43:30
  happen to see on film? Was he up in the booth again or was
• 1:43:33
  he still down on the field. I think he was down on the field,
• 1:43:36
  but I don't know. I wasn't there, And when I it's weird,
• 1:43:42
  you know, because they were I think they were shooting from a boy.
• 1:43:46
  I can't remember if they were on their own sideline or not, if
• 1:43:48
  they were on the far side. I didn't, I didn't notice something,
• 1:43:50
  but I think he was on the sideline. Yeah, usually the coaches and
• 1:43:55
  the film is from the visitors side there because the everybody had Yeah, well,
• 1:44:00
  and everybody talks about how they hate climbing up the ladder to the seedro
• 1:44:04
