  Speaker 1: Island or San Juan County and want to become an official?
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Officiating is a great way to give back to your

  Speaker 1: community and ensure our youth have an opportunity to compete
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: in athletics. Go to nwofficials dot com. Check it out.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: You can see from there, like what you have to do,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: go to some classes, all that stuff. An official shortage
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: is a real thing. You're wondering why games are being
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: played on Thursdays and Saturdays and stuff like that, that's
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: because we don't have a ton of officials. So if
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: it's something you're just thinking about, just go check it
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: out and maybe you'll really like it. And yeah, so
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: those are those are those things that I want to
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: bring to your attention. But let's go right into we
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: got ten games to talk about here. Elimination was on
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: a buy and so let's talk about the other ten
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: games We're going to start up. On Thursday night, Bellingham
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: was at home hosting Anti Courtis at Civic Stadium. I
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: was at that for that entire game, and boy, it
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: was all Seahawks, sixty eight to zero. I think at
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: halftime Bellingham had five yards of offense. It was rough.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: They finished with twenty seven yards of total offense. Anacortis
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: looked like the real deal. And you know when they was,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: they line up and it looked like, you know, if
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Bellingham was, you know, trying to play back a little bit,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: you know, worried about the athleticism on the outside, then
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: they would just run them and and Antichortus ran the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: ball all I mean, they ran the ball for three
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: hundred and eighty three yards. So Bellingham was not really
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: loading the box because you know, I get that. You know,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you got to be if you're going to do that,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: you better have some dudes on the outside that can
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: cover one on one. And so they played a certain
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: style of defense and and of course ran the ball
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: and they took you know, and they averaged, my goodness,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: quite a bit, I think fifteen yards of carry. So
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks had thirteen points in the first quarter. They
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: scored thirty four points alone in the second quarter, had
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the running clock going in the second half, where they
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: scored three more touchdowns, there was a punt return for
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: a touchdown. I mean it was in all three phases.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Anachordus looked like the two time state defending champions. You know,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Passing the ball was tough. Bellingham was able to complete
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: seven out of their twenty seven attempts. Calvin van Hofwegen
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: caught two passes and I think those were both on
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the final drive of the game. So it was really, really,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: really tough sledding for the for the BayHawks. But and
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: it doesn't get any easier is they have to bounce
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: back and play Archbishop Murphy on the road this upcoming week.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: But Bellingham, excuse me, Bellingham dropping to two and one
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: now on the season. But you know, we'll just see
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: how it goes from here on out. I think that
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I think that having a game like this is a
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: little bit of a wake up call and it's for
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: them to you know, kind of go, Okay, this is
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: what the best in the state looks like, and this
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: is how we need to prepare for stuff like that.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: So so that was that game where were jump into
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Friday now and for this game, we're going to head
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: out to Ferndale as they played their first home game
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: of the Year and they beat Marysville Getchell forty one
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: to fourteen. To talk about that, we're gonna go straight
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: to our coach, Jeff Wood in the coach's corner. Coach,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: how are you doing today?
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Doing well?
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Tyler? How are you doing all right? Marysville Getchel. You
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: know a team that's you know, struggled. They've only been
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: in existence, I don't know, a dozen years or so,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and they got Ferndale a couple of years ago in
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: a one one point game. They was in a run
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: of these one point games. They kept winning, but Ferndale
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: got them pretty good last year. Going into this one,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I felt pretty good about the Golden Eagles chances, and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: they looked pretty good on Friday night. What did you see?
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're a decent team.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: They're better in pill Chuck, that's for sure. They have
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: that double wing offense, and they had a quarterback that
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: could throw it pretty pretty well and a couple of
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: skill guys, but not enough to do much against Ferndale.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Ferndale was you know, they're well executing elf on offense,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: running that wing tea and pretty scrappy on defense running
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: the four two five. You know, Sky Freeman's back after
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: a one year hiatus. He's calling the defense again. So yeah,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Ferndale just a workmanlike well, uh, well, played game for
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: their their home opener.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's what was really cool too, is they
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: finally get to play at home. He saw a lot
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: of these schools blame Meridian, Ferndale finally getting a home game,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Mount Baker bet on the road this whole time, and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: and Ferndale, you know when they're when they're cooking, they
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: kind of you can it's really well on offense as
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: far as this guy gets it and this guy gets
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: it and you can't the defense has to keep guessing.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Did it kind of look like that with the offensive
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: play calling where it was just kind of something different
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: each play to keep the defense guessing.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, you know, Jake Lockers calling the offense and
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: does a good job with it. In terms of their
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: had been throwing a little bit more in the first
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: two games. This game, they only threw I think seven times,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I think was five for seven, real efficient.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: But they were definitely you know, using using that run
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: to set up the pass when they needed to, and
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: just you know, it's trap and sweep and counter and belly.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: All those wing tea staples were you know, working because
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: you know, they work off each other and there's fakes
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: and everything. So the defense has to has to be honest.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: And the backs are running hard and the linemen are
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: executing their blocks and you know, so a lot of
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: a lot of positive yardage and first downs and I
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: think they were up forty one to nothing at half.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: So yeah, looked pretty good. Yeah, I mean they they
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: looked they looked great. I was able to see it
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: a little bit in the third quarter. Early on, Elliot
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Lentson broke some long runs. He came into the game
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: as the leading rusher in Walking County. You know, he
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: only seven carries, but seventy nine yards. I think there
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: was a little bit of an injury scare. They didn't
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: play him in the second half. But Jonathan Stanik one
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirty three yards in the ground eighteen carries
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: that classic full back, a lot of dive, a lot
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: of trap, you know, between not just between the tackles,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: but between the guards. Really, what did you like about
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: seeing him run the ball? He's he's a he's I
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: would say he's a physical player, but he plays. He
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: just plays bigger than he actually is. He's that classic
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Ferndale fullback. What did you like about him?
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just you know, always running downhill and north
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: and south, which those players are kind of designed to do.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: If there's a.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Scene, he'll hit it, and he hits it hard, and
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: he's always falling forward. Not a real big guy like
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: they've sometimes had the real big big guys back there,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: but just physical and uh a good, good guy to
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: give the ball to. And so yeah, I mean the
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: old line definitely executed well and not not many negative
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: plays that I remember.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Mostly.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I think the average I don't know if he calculated
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: at was probably six seven yards of carry.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, and that was you know, that's another thing
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: that Ferndale wants to do. Keep ball control and move
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the chains and just you know, just keep that going right,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: keep the machine going. Writer Bevan had to pick six.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: He's one of those kids that you know, he's kind
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: of that tweener kid, is he He hits like a
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: linebacker's a physical player, but he's built more like a
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: defensive back. So he kind of plays in that that
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: kind of that nickel corner or strong safety in the
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: four two five, one of those two strong strong safeties.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: When you were watching that game and you saw that play,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: did you see that coming to mind kind of like
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: he did or did it just kind of come out
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: of nowhere?
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know he was he had coverage and he
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: was behind the receiver as the play was developing, and
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: then he kind of acted as the receiver and just
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: stepped in front of the receiver who was kind of
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: settling and kind of uh trying to run a little
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: bit of an out route, and uh just stepped in
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: front and grabbed it and he was off to the races.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: So so all was good. You know.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: One of the advantages of that four two five that
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: they're running is you do you do have those five
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: defensive backs, which if you have that kind of fifth
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: one whatever you call it, is kind of that highbred linebacker.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: So uh, if that guy can help in the run
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: game as well as you know, defend the pass, it
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: makes it a pretty flexible defense because in high school football,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can see the double wing one week,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: and then you can see the spread the next week,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: and then you know, you see all sorts of different offenses.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: So you really have to be able to be flexible
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: in terms of what you're running and personnel and everything.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: It makes it makes it fun, makes it interesting.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, And you've done a lot of coaching in the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: secondary and stuff like that, and you probably love guys
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: that are like that, right, That are guys that can
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: run with a receiver but can tackle a running back,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: and that's just such a nice combo to have. Yeah,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: it was a great overall game. You know, Ferndale undefeated
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: in the in conference play, and you know, we just
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: don't see enough of these other teams to really get
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: a great grasp. But they're going to be hosting Mount
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Vernon on Thursday, and Mount Vernon always has you know,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: athletes at least, and so I think that could be
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: a really good matchup. Do you know what matchup you're
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: going to be at this upcoming week.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: I think I'll just be a civic. I'll check see
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Home out against Burlington. See Home's definitely favored, but Burlington's
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: been improving the last year or two, so they they
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: might have a little bit of a stiffer test this week.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: So I'll check check the Mariners out. But I think
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: going back to Ferndale, you know that three a like
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: you said, it's it's pretty wide open.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Sidro is three A now obviously, so they'll be tough,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: and I think stan would. But besides that, Ferndale should
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: be right in the mix. So that that three A North.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that's good. They're uh two and oh in
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: the league and just marching on.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, you know, as as it looks right now,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Ferndale and Sidrow both to and O in conference play
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Mount Vernon one and oh. They they they played Burlington
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Edison in the Battle of the of the Bridge there
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: over the weekend. In the non conference game, stan Wood
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: one and one, snawomis oh and one, Marysville Catchel and
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: O Carver each o and two. So very early on
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: in West Coat three A North football. But Ferndale's look
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: pretty good. Thanks a lot, coach for joining us, and
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I'll talk to you next week.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: All right, we'll see you next week, Tyler.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Well, there you have it from coach Wood. He was
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: out there. He saw the entire game. I was out
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: there for a little bit of it, saw the third quarter. Yeah,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: it was. It was all Ferndale looking like the Golden
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Eagles of old, which was great to see. Next up,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: let's go to the six o'clock game. From Friday. One
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: of the six o'clock games from Friday that was Blaine
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: hosting Shelane. Blaine playing their first home game of the year,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: coming into the game zero to two, and boy, they
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: played a whale of a game. This was so exciting
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: to see. I was there for the first quarter and
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: when I left, they were up eight zero. I listened
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: to a lot of it on the radio, and it
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: was you know, when I could. I went to four
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: different games Friday night, and I went to one Thursday.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I went to win Saturday as well, So I got
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: to see six different games at least a little bit
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: of some and so I would catch little things. So
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I was getting in out of the car. But my goodness,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Blaine played awesome and right off the bat that that
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: first that touchdown drive. It was really unique because it
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: was on a fourth. It was a fourth and twenty
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: and they were on the thirty yard land. So when
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: you're in, you're in that no man's land, right, You're
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: on the thirty going in and it's fourth down. You know,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: a high school kicker is not gonna probably not gonna
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: attempt a forty seven yard field goal unless you know
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: your dad played in the NFL and then they but
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna punt it either, and so they go
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: for it. And it was so unique because I was
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: standing in behind the end zone and I could and
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I could see Blaine kind of pushing a kid back,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: like not pushing physically, but like waving him back onto
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: the field, saying, no, you're out there, you're out there
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: for this play. It's empty, it's empty. And it was
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: a freshman named Jackson Boguards, who we've seen play defense
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: so far this year. I hadn't really seen him play
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: much offense. So he runs back out onto the field
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and I thought, Oh, that's that's the freshman. He's going.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: He's the fifth guy in the five wide formation with
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: the spread there with the empty backfield, and Connor Brown
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: takes a snap and rolls to his left and he
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: throws it to the corner of the end zone. I'm
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: taking pictures, so I'm not really focusing on who the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: ball is going to, and it went to Jackson Boguards,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: who caught it in the end zone for the touchdown,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the first varsity touchdown. It was awesome just see the
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: look on his face, to see his excitement, the place
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: goes nuts, you know, the first home game of the year,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the band's there. That was really really cool to see
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: his first varsity catch. And then in the second quarter,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: kay Kerwin intercepts it pass takes it eighty seven yards
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: for a touchdown. As far as I can see with
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: my with the history that I have, that's the longest
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: return for a touchdown off an interception in school history.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: So boom, we're just like that. They're at fourteen nothing.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Sheland does come back and score right before halftime, and
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: then they kind of go back back and forth with touchdowns.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: And what was really good to see too is Jade
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: and Johannison broke off a sixty yard touchdown run. The
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: run game has been a little bit of a struggle
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: so far this year, especially between the tackles. You know,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Connor Brown, the quarterback I think leads them in rushing
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: or you know did coming into this game, and just
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: from some scrambles and there are some designed runs in
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: there as well. But so it was really nice to
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: see Johannison break went off and showing his speed, showing
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: what to do and then getting in the end zone too.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: So he finished with sixty seven yards on the game,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: sixty of them in that one play passing. Connor Brown,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the sophomore quarterback, was twelve of twenty eight for one
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventy six yards and the three touchdowns. He
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: did throw a couple interceptions, but that boy getting so
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: much valuable time as a sophomore at the varsity level.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: He's his future is extremely bright. Really excited to see
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: what he's gonna do. And then even kay Kerwin six
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: catches for eighty yards. He kind of touchdown at the
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: end of the game. He also had a two point version.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: He had multiple kickoff and punt returns for good amount
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: of yards. He had the pick six. Just a great
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: overall game for him, his final season opener at home.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I guess you could say, you know, he's played so
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: much varsity football. Peyton Bauma four catches for sixty yards.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Hunter Canadoza Candanosa, I'm gonna say his name right one
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: of these years. I mean, he's got a few more
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: years to go. But he had a six yard touchdown catch,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: and Jackson Boguards with a thirty yard touchdown catch. So
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Connor Brown with three touchdown passes to three different receivers,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: and then on the defensive side of the ball. Boy
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: linebacker Matt Campion had himself a day. Nine tackles, three
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: tackles for loss, a pass broken up, a fumble recovery,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: and an interception that was awesome to see. Kay Kerwin
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: had eight tackles, one tackle for loss, pass broken up,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: along with the pick six. Axel Shelton doing his usual
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: damage at middle linebacker ten tackles, a half, a tackle
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: for loss, and a pass broken up. I thought Landon
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Brown played awesome at corner. I mean, you got you're
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: a six four corner and that can you know, some
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: some quarterbacks are gonna go, oh, they don't want to
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: throw it up on that side of the field, and
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: he's really taken that spot and running with it. I
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: thought he had a great game. Six and a half tackles,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: one tackle for loss, a pass broken up. And what's
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: what's great about him going to that spot, It's relieving
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Connor Brown from having to play a ton of defense,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: so which is gonna only make it better on the offense.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: So it's it's it's a great team thing that he's
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: doing there. Uh. Peyton Bauma five and a half tackles,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: one tackle for loss, one quarterback sack and Jackson Bogart's
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: how he broke up three passes back there as a
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: safety also had three and a half tackles. Blake Collins
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I thought did really well as well on the defensive line.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Seyhu Kanaji had five tackles. So this was great improvement
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: for the Blaine Border Right football team. I you know,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: I even said to you know, in my head and
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: to a few people, I say, they could be staring
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: zero to ten in the face this year, and they
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: just proved me wrong right there. So they're growing up
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: faster than I thought. And that's a lot of that's
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: due to coach Olsen and his staff and and how
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: great they are, and and so it was just really
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: good to see that whole thing happened so early, and
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: to happen you know, at home, you know, in front
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: of the home fans. And it was a really really
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: close game. I mean, I think Blaine was up by
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: one at one point in the fourth quarter, and then
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: when Jade and Johannesson had that sixty yard touchdown run,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: it gave him, it gave him a seven point lead,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: and then kay Kerwin with the touchdown catch from Connor
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Brown Peyton Bauman with the extra point there put him
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: ahead by two scores, and that really, you know, sealed
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: the deal and such a I just can't say enough.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just so proud of those guys. They
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: played really, really well and just you know, the last
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: it was the last team in Waka County that hadn't
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: gotten a win yet, so really awesome to see them
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: get that win. And yeah, tremendous. We're gonna jump now
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: to the Linden game. They were down at cool See
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: the Stadium taking on Marysville Pilchuck, and this was not
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: much of a game from what I had heard. They
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: even started the running clock very early. I'm thinking, like
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: the score, they were only up like twenty one to nothing,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: twenty eight nothing when they started the running clock. And
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: they did it in the first half, which those are
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: two things that you just don't see usually you see
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: if it happens at forty points, and you see it
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: only in the second half. So it could have been
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: a thing where the opposing coach said, yeah, go ahead
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: and just keep it going Linden, you know, doing it
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: the Linden way, not you know, totally getting tons of
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: guys' reps. They played a They have a lot of
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: seniors that are scout team guys, and I'm talking a lot,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: like maybe a dozen or more, and they got all
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: those guys into the game doing some really good things,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: which was great. When the starters were in, they you know,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: they took care of business. They did not throw very much.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I think the starters only passed the ball eight times
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: and didn't didn't run the ball very often either. I
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: mean the only ran they only ran twenty nine plays.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: So that's the second week in a row where they
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: pick up a win and run less than thirty plays
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: in a game. By doing it, that has to be
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I mean there, I don't know when the last time
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: that ever happened in Walkin County high school football. It was.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: It was incredible. It's a really really unusual stat there.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: But Lindon, like I said, fourteen points first quarters, fourteen points,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: the second quarter, scored once, in the third twice more
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: and the fourth with the third stringers in and they
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: looked really good. Max Aussink seven carries for one hundred
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: and sixty three yards and three touchdowns. One of those
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: touchdowns is up. You can vote right now on the
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: PEPSI played the week where it kind of showed what
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: going to the weight room every single day in the
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: summer looks like and what the result is. He was
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: just a freight train out there. Dawson Van Dalen had
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: four carries for seventy one yards. He's the third running back.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: He also had a touchdown. Late Austin Postma, the third
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: string quarterback, had two carries for thirty two yards and
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: a touchdown. Marcus Kanan, who's the fourth running back, had
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: one carry. He took it twenty yards for a touchdown.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Brody Price had a sixteen yard run. Cat Triplett had
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: a six yard run, Gordy Bedlington a five yard run.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Malachai Caine in a four yard run. It was awesome
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: to see Lucas Lolgi back after sitting out a game
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: due to an injury. He came back played a little bit.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: You know. I think he probably knew he wasn't gonna
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: play a ton. You know, I think he was probably
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: in on three drives. Maybe. He was two of six
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: for fifty yards, including a beautiful forty six yard touchdown
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: pass to Sam Orango. Gordy Bedlington is one of two
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: passing for twenty five yards in a pass that he
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: completed to Brody Price, and I think that was just
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: the little you know, sweep that he does with a
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: little shovel pass there, so definitely not really throwing the
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: ball down the field a whole lot. I think only
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: did it once. Austin Postma came into the game in
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and the probably the third quarter two
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: was three of three for twenty nine yards, getting other
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: guys involved. It was good to see solely Pets with
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: a catch, Ky Smith with a couple of catches. These
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: are seniors that don't get a ton of playing time.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: They were able to go out and catch the ball
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: and do some things, which is awesome to see. Max
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Austin also had a four yard reception. On defense, Zachdikstra
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I thought played great. And again these they all played
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: very very limited because they rotate a ton of guys
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: and of course the starters didn't play at all in
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: the second half, so so the stats are a little
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: lower than usual. But Zach Dekstra had multiple stops behind
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. I thought he looked really good.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: He's one of your premier offensive line and if not
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: the premier offensive lineman in Walkham County. But he's really
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: starting to show out as a defensive lineman, and I
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: think it's something that colleges might even be looking at
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: because with his strength already that he has and just
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: his speed off the ball, it could be a thing
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: where they might project him as a defensive lineman. It's
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: hard to say. Malachi Canan again, great game, four tackles,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: a tackle behind the line of scrimmage, and he may
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: have knocked a kid's helmet off too, I don't know.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Really really aggressive linebacker. So much fun to see there.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I thought Zay Harris did a great job.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: He had a couple of tackles for loss as well.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Very very physical defensive lineman, which is tough to get
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: numbers in that three man defensive line. Those guys are
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: usually there just to kind of muck things up. He
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: really gets the job done and puts up numbers. I mean,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: we saw it with Parker Williams last year. We're seeing
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: it now with Zay Williams. So really cool to see. Also,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: the team seven for seven on extra points, but they
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: went through three different kickers. Malachi Caanan was three for three,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Marcus Kanaan was one for one, and then how cool
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: is this. They bring in a senior kicker, Ivan Garcia Zapata,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: who was three for three. He also returned to kickoff,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: and that's this is what I'm talking about. You get
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: kids involved to do lots of different things, and those
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: extra points they kicked were awesome. I mean, any school
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: would be like, can you be our kicker? And then
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: he's sitting there as the third string at Lyndon, So
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: great job by the whole team as a whole. Forty
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: nine nothing win at Marysville pilchick to go three to
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: zero on the season. Let's go back to another six
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: o'clock game on the road here as Lyndon Christian defeated
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Okanagan forty nine to seven on the road. What an
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: impressive win there. Okanagan one of the top two B
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: teams in the state and travel that far and get
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: that kind of win. I kind of figured Elsie would
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: win after they might win by like three or four touchdowns.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: I didn't think they'd win by six touchdowns. So that
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: was really great to see. You know, didn't didn't score,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: there was no scoring at all in the fourth quarter.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Get the backups in there, but man, the starters really
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: really got the job done. I thought the balance was fantastic.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: They ran forty eight plays, twenty six runs, twenty two passes,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety six yards rushing one hundred ninety
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: nine yards passing. That's about as balanced as it could be,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: and you score a defensive touchdown. Lenny Christian right now
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: is looking very very good. And in the run game,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Chris Coyman fifteen carries for one hundred and forty eight
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: yards and a couple of touchdowns. Boy, I didn't I
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: don't count broke tack or you know, tackles broken or
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: broken tackles or whatever. But I might have to start
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: because Chris Coyman is just leaving him in a wake
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: when he comes through. It's pretty awesome to see Trey
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Johnson nine carries for forty four yards. Gavin Van Lowe
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: a couple carries late in the game for four yards.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Eli made again extremely efficient through the year eighteen of
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: twenty one for two hundred and seven yards and four touchdowns.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: He is putting together a statistical season and when you
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: look at like quarterback rating that is one of the
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: best we've ever seen. It's just efficient, efficient, and he
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: just is. He's got such a grasp of the offense
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: that he knows Okay, this guy nope, this guy nope.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Here at Boom and he's just so good. He's a
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: coach's dream back there and really getting the job done.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Boyce Robertson and of course you know all state last year.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: He's had a good year so far, but he really
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: had a great game on Friday night. Seven catches for
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: one hundred and twelve yards and three touchdowns. These are
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: the numbers. Now, he's getting really close to breaking some
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: career school records, which you might find out later if
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: they happen with some graphics that I'm already prepping. A
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: lot of kids are getting really close to breaking records,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: so I'm trying to get some graphics ready to present
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: once that does happened. Caden Veldman four catches for fifty
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: three yards and a touchdown. What a physical presence he
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: is and such a huge weapon as a six four,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty pound tight end. Wyatt camp House
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: four catches for thirty three yards, and Chris Coyman with
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: a couple of catches. Jackson Houlliot and Gavin van Low
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: each had a catch as well. Just a great, great
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: performance defensively, Wyatt camp House had a fumber return for
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: a touchdown. He also knocked a pass down. He had
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: a couple of tackles, Trey Johnson kind of leading the
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: way five tackles, a tackle for loss, a sack. He
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: had one forced fumble that was recovered by Trey morleg
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: and then him and Gunnard DaCosta together. It's really hard
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: to say who actually forced that fumble because it's kind
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: of both at the same time. Made a hit on
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: a running back, the ball came out and that's when
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Wyatt camp House returned that one for a touchdown. That
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: play is also up on the for the PEPSI Play
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: of the Week. To vote on, go to walkapreps dot
• 28:58

  Speaker 1: I can see all those numbers. So don't just go
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: there and just vote for somebody. Watch the video, make
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: an informed decision and vote, and boy, we could all
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: really do that these days. Make an informed decision and vote.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: And uh, Trey morleag like I said earlier, had that
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: fumble recovery. He also had a couple of passes broken
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: up in a couple of tackles, Gunnard to Costa four
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: and a half tackles in the forced fumble. So again,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: really really great on defense. Again, it's a they're just
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: so solid. There is no hole in their game at all.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: And I mean even the kicking game, Jackson Yune was
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: perfect seven for seven on extra points, you know, kickoffs
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: going deep. It's they're looking really, really good. I'm I'm
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: really excited to see when they play Sealal in a
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: non league game. That's gonna be awesome because you got
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: a couple of teams that just don't have weaknesses and
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: I'm really excited to see even though it's a non
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: conference game, boy, it's really a win over the other
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: team is going to be a huge feather in the
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: cap once it comes to playoff seeding because these are
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: two teams that are staring right into the state playoffs.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: So I think that's going to be a great thing
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: as well. I think I think it's gonna be an
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: awesome game, and that'll be coming up in a few weeks.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I'm really excited about that one. Yeah, els forty nine
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: to seven win over Okanagan and they continue to roll.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: They're looking fantastic. Speaking of those Seahome Mariners, let's talk
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: about them next. They went into Arlington to beat the
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Lakewood Cougars eighty one to zero. A lot of the
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: damage done in the first half. It was fifty nine
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: to zero at the end of the first half, scoring
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of touchdowns here. They went for two on
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: the first Holy cow, after the first five touchdowns, they
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: just went for two. And I don't know if they're
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I think Baine Mitchell was fine. You know, he kicked
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: off all game and he ended up kicking extra points later.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: But I think they were trying some different plays see
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: kind of what works on two point conversions and sometimes
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: against live action, that's you know, where you try it,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: that's the best place to do it, right. So but boy,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: they again they were extremely efficient as well. A couple
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: of those touchdowns that happened in late in the second
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: quarter we're really quick turnaround ones where Tyson Goodman had
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: to pick six of eighteen yards. Hudson Neff had a
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: forty two yard punt return for a touchdown. So you know,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: you start ripping those off pretty quickly, and scoring goes
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: really really fast, and they ran the ball really well,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: over one hundred and fifty yards on the ground as
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: a team. That was really really cool to see. They
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: had a freshman Cash Barns that I know nothing about.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: I mean I had to look on a JV roster
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: to see who it was, and he played awesome. It's
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: like they found this, they found a new guy. I
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: mean it was. It was really really cool to see.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: He ran really hard, played some good linebacker two. He
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: led them in rushing. He had five carries for sixty
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: two yards, had a couple touchdown runs, he ran in
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: a two point conversion. He did a little bit of everything.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Sawyer Woods seven carries for forty eight yards, he had
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: a touchdown run, and he ran in a couple two
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: point conversions. Yeah, Hudson nef he had two carries for
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: thirty three yards, including a touchdown out of the wildcat position.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: So yeah, really really good things there. Nolan right through
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: the air fourteen of nineteen for three hundred and one
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: yards and five touchdown passes, which is incredible. And I
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: don't want to give away anything yet, but his next
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: touchdown pass is monumental, so I'll just leave it at that.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: But that was a great great performance by him. Four
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: of his touchdown completions went to his favorite target, theo Quiggle,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: who had seven catches for one hundred and forty yards
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: plus those four touchdown receptions. Incredible game for theo Quiggle
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: who's just having this major breakout year. Callum Leaplant two
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: catches for twenty nine yards. Tyson Goodman caught a fifty
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: six yard touchdown pass. He also caught a two point conversion.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Devin Bankson caught a two point conversion. Gunnar Anderson had
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: a thirty three yard catch. Al Miller had a twenty
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: three yard catch, so your woods had a twelve yard catch.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Bankson with the eight yard catch, So a lot of
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: different guys getting the ball. Defensively, Tyson Goodman I thought,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: probably had maybe the best game. Four tackles and he
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: also had to pick six one and a half tackles
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: for loss. Hudson Neff had five tackles, He forced a fumble,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: recovered to fumble Finn Sites. Greg Wire had a couple
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: of sacks, had three tackles, and he forced a fumble. Yeah,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: lots of guys. Evan Hatzel had six tackles and a
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: tackle for loss. Nicky Smith had five and a half tackles,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: two passes broken up. Al Miller, who I said earlier,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: had you know he had an interception past broken up,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: a tackle for loss, you know, just you know, Logan
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Rogers a lot of stuff at the line of scrimmage there.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Nolan Wright had a couple of tackles for loss coming
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: up from this brand new safety position. That was awesome.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Sou Seeholme really pouring it on there. Eighty one is
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: zero looking super sharp. And they'll be back at home
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: on Friday taking on Burlington Edison. That'll be a good
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: one and they'll be back in front of the home fans,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: I think coach and like Coach Wood was saying, he'll
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: be out at that one. So that'll be that'll be awesome.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: That'll be good to see a little bit more competition.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: This will be a fun one because Seaholme has you know,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: in the three games they've played, they've played two teams
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: that are just not great at all, and then they
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: played one tremendous team, so they just haven't it's hard
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: to really gauge them. So I think they should beat
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Burlington Edison. The thing is is will they how will
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: they steam or will it be a competitive game. Will
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: they get them by about three scores? That will be
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: a great, you know, litmus test to see kind of
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: where they are. And I think that, And it was
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: a good game last year when they played each other.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: I think it was a one score game. So you
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: never know. But Brgingston's always, you know, always good for
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: some good games, and they play tough, so it'll be
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: a good test for the Mariners. Next up, we're going
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: to go to Meridian and they hosted for a cameac.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: I was at this game for about a quarter a
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: little over a quarter, and again first game at home,
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: which is great to see Meridian wins the game.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: It's their first time since twenty seventeen. I believe that
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: they're three and zero, and in that year twenty seventeen,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: they got all the way the state championship game. I'm
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: not saying that Meridian is gonna get the state championship.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying they're starting out really well and it's
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: really good to see. I love it so right off
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: the bat, I mean Meridian, I don't think Meridian handed
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: the they've handed the ball off one time. I think
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: in the first half of the game they were really
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: looking the looking to you know, a lot of shotgun
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: and a lot of you know, looking for open guys.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Blake Manser took the only handoff. He's just a freshman.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: He took and he took it twenty four yards. I
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: think he really got that defense off guard there because
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: it was a lot of throwing. He only they only
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: handed the ball off five other times, and a Trey
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Alexander did carry the ball a handful of times as well,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: just kind of here and there. He either a scramble
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: or designed runs or just sneaks for a first down.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: But Meridian looked really sharp in this one. It was
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: awesome to see. It was kind of back and forth
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: in the beginning. And uh, you know they Meridian scores
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: first on the opening drive. I think it was like
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: a ninety two yard drive. It just went down the
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: field really really well. Uh, throwing the ball a bunch
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: and then you know, a swing pass out to their
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: running back Ethan Valach who dove into the corn of
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: the end zone scored. That was great to see. The
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: extra point was blocked, the Camyack goes down. They score
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: on a on kind of a quick out pass to
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: a really speedy guy that just ran by everybody and
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: they go for two and and or it might have
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: been a bad snap, I can't remember, but anyways, they
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: did not convert. So it was six to six after
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: the first quarter and Meridian got the ball. They score
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: on a on the they do. They run this awesome
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: tight end screen pass and I so far, I know,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: scored a couple of touchdowns with it this year and
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: ended up a short pass to Daniel Larson in the
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: big six, five two and ten pound tight end does
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: the rest of the work, breaking tackles, scoring from twenty
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: four yards out. Camyak scores again to kind of even
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: it up. So you got this, you know, thirteen thirteen
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: game and Meridian scores right right before the half. Trey
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Alexander hits Pierce Brosowski on a six yard touchdown pass.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: He finds him again in the fourth quarter from three
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: yards out. Camiack scores, and then Meridians scores again at
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: the end of the game on a thirty yard touchdown
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: pass from Trey Alexander to Casey Brennan. So very very
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: impressive here, Trey Alexander with five touchdown passes. That's a
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: career high for him, school record is six and the
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: walkin county record is six. But very very impressive by
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Trey Alexander. He was twenty five of thirty nine through
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: the air for three hundred and seventeen yards and five touchdowns.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Just a whale of a game for him. Really really
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: spread it out to River Todd with six catches, Priers
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Prezaski with five, Daniel Larson with four, Casey Brennan had four,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Cody valeos of three, Eggar had two, Valich had won.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was very very spread out, really good
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: to see there. You know, the run game, if it's
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: if they see that the pass works, they'll just throw it.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Not a ton. In the run game, they did run
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: for eighty two yards as a team, which is not
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: bad considering how many times they ran the ball. And
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: they ran, I mean they averaged over four yards of carry.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Blake Mans with the freshman, just had the one carry,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: but led the team with twenty four yards. Trey Alexander
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: with twenty three yards on ten carries. Ethan Valach had
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: seventeen yards at Jackson Fantas Steel thirteen yards. Sawyer drunk
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: five yards Fantas Steel and was drunk, just had the
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: one carry. Each so Meridians three and oh, I mean
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: that's awesome. And it was so cool to see the
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: stadium with the big sign above the scoreboard said Bob Amesfield.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: They had like the painted autograph on the field that
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: said Bob Amesfield with his autograph. It's you know, it's
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: one of those things that you kind of knew was
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: going to happen, but when you physically see it, it
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: really brings back tons of memories. And you know, I'm
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: just really excited about this upcoming weekend on Saturday, they're
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: going to dedicate the field to him. And I just
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: I love that kind of stuff because I lived that history.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: I knew coachings since I was a little kid, played
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: against him, interviewed him a zillion times, you know, sat
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: and talked with him for five hours once at his
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: house just about the history of Meridian football. And then
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: we're talking about, you know, when he played in high
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: school and how you know you had to share cleats
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: or you had a guy come off field, take off
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: his helmet give it to another guy going on the field,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. I mean, it's just it's fascinating talking
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: football with him and and or even John Wayne movies
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what we're talking about. I could talk
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: to him forever. So really cool that this is happening. Yeah,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: just excited, and it's going to be happening, you know,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: just a few days before his eightieth birthday too, So
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: happy early birthday to the legendary coach Bob Ames. I'm
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: excited to be out there on that one on Saturday
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: and witness it and take it all in. You deserve
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: it all, coach, and so I'm really excited for you
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: and your son. Patrick's doing a great job. Three and
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: zero right now for the Meridian Trojans, they are looking good.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: Let's jump now to down to Seattle where Luiksack Valley
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: took on Kings and this was this was kind of
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: a strange game to watch, and the Pioneers were without
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: a couple of big time performers Matthew Blake, Jaydon Jones.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: These are the guys that are electric with the football.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Both of them were out with injuries. They had a
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: lot of sickness go through the school and the team,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: and so they kind of got off to a sluggish start.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: They were trading, you know, turnovers on downs. Earlier on
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: in the game of zero zero after the first quarter.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Kings does score on a twelve yard touchdown pass in
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: the second quarter, so they're up eight to nothing at
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: the half, and Nuksack Valley they were able to get
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: on the board. Tyler Martin returns upunt forty one yards
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: and then he ends up kicking a twenty yard field goal,
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: so that a drive that he basically set up. He
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: had some good kickoff returns as well. That it just
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: goes back and forth from there. Then Kings scored, and
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: knok Sex Sword Kings scored, Nooks X scored, and then
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Kings had the three point lead with six minutes to go,
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: and they just kind of they were They hadn't ran
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: the they hadn't run the ball very well during the game,
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: but they did it really well on the final drive
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: when they really needed to run out the clock. They
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: found something that worked with the quarterback runs just kind
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: of left and right and just direct snap and go,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: and they were able to do enough to pick up
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: enough first downs, move the chains, run the clock, and
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: win the game. I mean, then that's basically how it happened.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Nuk Sac Valley without their running back Matthew Blake, only
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: ran the ball for thirty five yards. Trey Hughtonk actually
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: ran for thirty seven yards. But Trey Houghtink is a
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: between the tackles power guy, and Blake is a guy
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: that's gonna get you some excitement outside the tackles, and
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: they just didn't have that in the running game, so
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: you resorted to passing a lot. Evan Brown was fifteen
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: of thirty through the air for one hundred and ninety yards.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: He did have the two touchdown passes, when to Cole Coppinger,
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: when to Dane Amen. Coppinger six catches for eighty five yards,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Acraman four for forty three. Jackson hester Cut two passes
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: for twenty six yards, Tyler Martin two passes for eighteen yards.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: Brian Lay the senior tight end, one catch for eighteen yards.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: I was earlier in the game, and yeah, it was
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: it was a tough one because they were two pretty
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: even teams. But you know, because Knucksack Valley was not
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: at full strength. It's really hard to say, uh, kind
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: of how I felt about that one. It was just
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: a it was an odd game to watch, you know,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: and knowing the result, it was just kind of like, man,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: it just they can get to stop there late. You know,
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: it can it can turn around. It just didn't happen.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: And uh, the Knucksack Valley Kings rivalry has been awesome.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: There's been some really good games over the years and
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of games that have come down to the end.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: And and you know, when you think about the best
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: game in Knucksack Valley history, it was probably the nine
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: game against Kings, you know, playoff game. And I mean
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: I remember a game in the mid nineties where I
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: think it was like forty one to forty, you know
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: between those two teams that went into overtime or something
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: like that. I mean, they've just had awesome games against
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: each other. Nook Sac Valley, though comes up short in
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: this one. There now two and one on the year. Defensively,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: I thought Max Lattenbach had an awesome game. Eight and
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: a half tackles, four passes broken up, did a just
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: did a tremendous job. He's one of those kids that
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know, there's like certain players that just kind
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: of loaf on the field and they kind of look
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: for their spot and then they attack. Like he's always
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: on the attack. Max Lottenbach is like the complete opposite.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: He's always on the attack. I think that's what made
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: him so great on kick coverage and now kind of
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: as like a strong safety nickel kind of player. Boy,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: he gets to everything. Jackson Hester eleven tackles, one and
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: a half tackles for loss, Andrew Dugger had also had
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: eleven tackles or eleven and a half I should say
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: ten and a half and one tackle for loss. Both
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: it's a really good job as well, getting a lot
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: of tackles. I thought Gabe Snyder's had an awesome game
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: six and a half tackles, one and a half tackles
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: for loss and a quarterback sack. Really stepping it up.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: Now in his senior year, Trevick McMillan played really well.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: He had he had four and a half tackles and
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: a tackle for loss. Kind of filling in a defensive end. Uh,
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: you know, two starters or Staffer and Ackerman and but
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: he'll come in and play. And he's one of those
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: kids I remember seeing him as a freshman. It's going out.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: He's just just a you know, skinny kid. And now
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: he's the starting left tackle. Is really filled out, looks
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: looks really strong baseball player as well, and I think
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: just a junior, so a guy one of the you
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: know guys that are really gonna lean on next year.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: So but you know, pretty pretty good outing there. Uh,
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: it just it just came up short, you know, and
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: like I said, they were missing a few guys. So
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: we'll see how they do coming up. It does not
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: get any easier as they're hosting tomb Water on Friday
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: at seven o'clock. So that is a boy, that's a
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: heck of a game, and you know, we'll kind of
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: see how that one goes. So coach Coach Bartle's like,
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, I can't wait for that one. But yeah,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: they lose twenty two to nineteen to Kings and newkseec
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: Valley falls to two and one on the season. And
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: then we go to the last game on Friday night.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: That was Squalicum hosting Archbishop Murphy. And it was my
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: first time to see Archbishop Murphy both really on film
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: and in person. I did buzz out there for a
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: little bit in the second second quarter and Archbishop Murphy,
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: you know, I saw a lot of them last year.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: You know, I saw them against Bellingham in person. I
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: saw them against Lyndon twice. I saw them against Squalakam
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: saw them against Seahome and they were really good last year.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: This year they are much bigger, much faster, and much
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: just better. And it was it was all Wildcats and
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: Squalkum is a pretty good team, you know. And it
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: was just the talent level. I mean, their kicker is amazing.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: I mean he had touchback every single kickoff and he
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: kicked off a lot. You know. First play for scrimmage
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: is a fifty four yard touchdown run. It was a
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: lot of damage on the ground. Three hundred and seventy
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: three yards on the ground. They only threw the ball twice.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: They did complete one for thirty yards, but it was
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: all Archbishop Murphy. Now, there were some moments for Squalalkum
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: which was good to see. I thought Zach Watt played
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: a good game on defense. There was a play where
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: he came up and made a play behind line of scrimmage,
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: hit the quarterback, the ball came out, so he made
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: a tackle for loss and a forced fumble. And this
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: is what I loved about it, Like as soon as
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: he hit him and the ball came out, he helped
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: the quarterback up. And that right there is Zach Watt.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Awesome kid. And so he kind of led them defensively.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: Avery Wiener had five tackles and a tackle for loss.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: I thought that he was kind of the other pretty
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: strong defensive player as well, but boy, it was the
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: defense struggled, and that's just gonna happen against a team
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: that good Squalcom did move the ball up. I mean,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: they had one hundred and eighty two yards of offense,
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: so there were moments here and there. Mattox Strickland came
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: into the game late and ended up leading the team
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: in rushing five carries for forty nine yards. That's a
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: second week in a row that you know he's the
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: JV running back. He comes in late in the fourth
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: quarter and just goes off in the fourth quarter and
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: then ends up leading the team in rushing. That's two
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: weeks in a row that he's done that. He might
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: be a kid that gets in the rotation as a
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: running back because he's very, very explosive, and it's been
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun to see. Asher Osbiornson eleven carries
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: for twenty two yards. DJ Hill two carries for ten
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: yards through the air. Cole Burke thirteen of twenty eight
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: for ninety eight yards. He did throw an interception. Phoenix
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: Price two for three for twelve yards. He also threw
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: an in interceptions and Osbiorn's in five catches for forty
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: three yards, Brother Asher three catches for twenty nine yards,
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: Zach Watt doing some stuff on offense too, two catches
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: for eighteen yards, Khalil Benta had a ten yard catch,
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: and Mattix Strickland and Ray Hoffman, Chavez Clark they all
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: had to catch as well. So you know, not a
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: ton that happened on for squalk them. But you know,
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: we'll see they go down to Lakewood on Friday, so
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: it'll be a little different game there. And and you know,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: I spoke with coach Lucy earlier today and it's funny
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: how the three games they played. I mean, it's you know,
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: they had a really close one and then they had
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: one where they just dominated. Then they had one where
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: they got dominated. So it's been three very very vastly
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: different feels during the game after the game. And this
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: one against Lakewood, they should get to win there, so
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: that'll put them that they're at one and two right
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: now on the year, so get them back up to
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: five hundred would be nice for the squalkm storm. And
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: the final game that we're going to talk about was
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: the Saturday affair out at downtown Deming where Mount Baker
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: hosted the Bellevue Wolverines. I was so pumped for this one,
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: and you know, I went out there and it felt,
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know, it felt almost like a dream. I
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: don't really know how to explain it. I mean, it's,
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: you know, it's my old field, it's my old team,
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: it's you know, it's where I'm familiar the most, and
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: so being out there is always a unique feeling. Anyways,
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: but then you know, I saw some of the Bellevue
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: coaches as I was walking out to the field and
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: and I'm just I just I couldn't help. I usually
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: don't talk to anybody, but it just came out and
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: I was like, thanks for coming to Deming, and they
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: were all like, yeah, it's beautiful out here, this this
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: this is great, you know, and and I was just
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: glad that they agreed to do it. And I didn't
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: really know what to expect to score wise. I just
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: knew that Baker would compete with them, and they really
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: really did. I mean right off the bat, Bellevue, you know,
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: had trouble with their footing, you know, playing on grass
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: for the first time, but then they did eventually. I
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: think their third play from scrimmage broke out a long run.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know exactly how many yards it went, but
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: it was probably close to like sixty yards. And but
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: what was awesome was that Bryce Cooper tracked him down
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: from behind, sprinted, caught him and tackled him and then
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: and I just thought, my goodness, like they are. They
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: are so pumped to play. They did not give up
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: at all. And when he when Bryce Cooper tracked the
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: him him down, I thought, okay, here we go. And
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: then and then on the next you know, four plays,
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: they turned him away, turned him over on downs Bellvu Wolverines.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: It was awesome. Right there in the red zone, Baker
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: gets the ball. They can't move the ball very well,
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: so they have to go to punt punter. Snap goes
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: over the punter's head. Unfortunately it didn't go through the
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: end zone and ox Smith picks it up, tries to
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: run with it, gets tackled at like the one or
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: two yard line, which is super unfortunate because then Bellevue
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: now has a chance to score. Boom. They do and
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: you know then, of course the speed became a factor
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: after that. They had a seventy five yard touchdown runner,
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: twenty seven yard touchdown run and all just like that,
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: it's twenty one nothing and you're just starting the second quarter.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: But Baker puts something together. Bryce Cooper has a fifty
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: three or fifty six, fifty nine something like that. A
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: long kickoff return gets them deep into Bellevue territory. Things
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: get rolling from there. Bryce Cooper scores a touchdown. Now
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: it's twenty one to seven. Okay, that's that's kind of cool.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: And you could hear people go, well, at least it
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: won't be a shutout, you know, you could you could
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: start hearing that. And my Baker pride was just filling up.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: I mean it was, you know, even in a loss,
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: it was. It was overwhelming and it was so awesome
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: just to be there and witness it. And I was
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: so proud to be a former Mountaineer, former football player,
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: and it just it kind of overtook me a little bit.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: And it and again, it's high school. It's what it's about.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: It's the reason I do this. And I just had
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: a blast because they played their tails off the Bellevue
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: scores again to make it twenty eight seven. But then
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: Baker gets down there and scores on a touchdown pass
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: with six seconds to go, Toga Tiglau hits jet Ross
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: on an eight yard touchdown, and just like that's twenty
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: eight to fourteen at the half, and Baker's getting the
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: ball to start the second half. So it's like, man,
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: they're only down two scores and they're getting the ball
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: to start the second half. This is about as good
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: as it could get right now. Unfortunately, the ball pops
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: out on the kickoff return to start the second half.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: It goes in the air and right to a Bellvye
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: player who catches it runs in for a touchdown. So
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: that was just it was just the worst thing. Was
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: just a gut punch, right, But Baker does drive down
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: there once again. They complete a long pass to jet
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: Ross to get in the red zone. After that, tig
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: Lau rolls out hits Bryce Cooper on a thirteen yard
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: pass reception that gets them to the one yard line,
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: where Toga just puts his shoulder down and goes through
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: everybody and scores a touchdown, and just like that, mount
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: Baker scored twenty one points and you think about that
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: for a second. They just put twenty one on Bellevue.
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: Bellevue only gave up twenty one to the number one
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: four a school in the state in Lake Stevens. So
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: this is what I'm talking about, and this is why
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: it was just so awesome to see. And yeah, Baker
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: played awesome and in this you know, in the second
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: half they outgained Bellevue. Bellevue wasn't They didn't have their
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: backups in. This was not a running clock. This was
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: not one of those games where you look at it
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: and go forty two to twenty one. Oh well, it
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: was forty two to nothing. Running clock happened. They put
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: in their bat their freshmen, and then they score three touchdowns. No,
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: it wasn't like that at all. Bellevue does score later
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: on in the quarter when Toga goes deep to jet
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: Ross once again, it gets intercepted and the kid made
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: an unbelievable athletic play where he returned to eighty yards
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: for a touchdown. But the Baker defense held Bellvue out
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: of the end zone the entire second half. That was
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: that's huge, And like I said, mount Baker out gained
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: Bellevue in the entire second half. I just thought they
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: played awesome. Baker ran the ball for seventy nine yards
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: passed for one hundred and twenty eight So for a
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: one A school to put over two hundred yards offense
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: on Bellevue, that's really that's a great accomplishment as well.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: Gage Smith led the way on the ground six carries
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: for forty one yards, Bryce Cooper ten carries for thirty
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: three yards and a touchdown. Toga Tiglau six carries for
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: twelve yards and a touchdown cam to Moa had eleven
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: yards rushing Noan Nicole Mills three carries for a yard.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: Toga was twelve of twenty one through the air for
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty eight yards and one touchdown. That
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: was to Jet Ross who caught six passes for seventy
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: four yards. Kel Reardon two catches for thirty yards. That
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: was awesome to see too, you know, the big and
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: getting the ball and making him pay afterwards. That was
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: really cool. Bryce Cooper two catches for eleven yards. Gage
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: Smith had an eight yard reception in Zion Peglia had
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: a five yard reception. The defense I thought played fantastic,
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: led by Kel Reardon, eight tackles, two tackles for loss.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: He also knocked down a pass at the line of scrimmage,
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: which you're thinking of pass you through the ball. Yeah,
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: they threw it twice incomplete twice. And Aaron Torres another
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: great game, five tackles, one and a half tackles for loss.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: Noan Nicole Mills from his linebacker spot. Four tackles, two
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: tackles for loss. I hope he's doing okay. I saw
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: him on the sideline at the end of the game.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: I hope he's ready to go because he's a big
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: time important factor to Mount Baker's season going forward. Gunner
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: McGrath I thought played a great game as well. This
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: is a kid that I'm really excited about his future.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: He's a backup running back. He's getting a lot more
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: time at linebacker. He had five tackles and he forced
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: to fumble. He's just a physical, athletic kid that makes plays.
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: Andrew Monteeth had six and a half tackles. I'm wondering
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: what Bellevue thought of when they looked across and saw
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: a five foot three linebacker. They've probably never seen one
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: of those either. Baker came to play and I am
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: so proud of you guys, and you just you made
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: me proud being you know, a former Mount Baker player,
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: and you know, the Mountaineers been playing football for nearly
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: one hundred years now and they've probably scored thousands, tens
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: of thousands of points and but those you know, and
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: and I've scored seventeen of them pretty insignificant ones. But
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: you guys scoring twenty one of them on Saturday were
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: extremely significant and it's something that's going to be remembered
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: for a long long time. So really cool that you
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: guys took on Bellevue, stood up to them and made
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: Deming and Walkm County proud. So that was that Mount
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: Baker will be back home on Friday when they take
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: on Sultan at seven o'clock and uh, and that kind
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: of wraps up all the games. We got to go
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: over to the Players of the Week now and we
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: got some sponsors for each player of the week, which
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: is always fun. We're gonna start off with the Offensive

• 58:29
  Speaker 1: on Offensive player of the week. You know Eli Maybury
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: went it last week. It could have gone to him,
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: Boys Robertson. I thought Trey Alexander had a really good game.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: You know, Nolan Wright he won it in week one.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: He had another really good game. But I'm going to
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: theo Quiggle, the wide receiver of Sea Home. Seven catches,
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: one hundred and forty yards and four touchdowns. He's had
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: a string of great games. This might be one of
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: his best ones for receiving touchdowns. Is one heck of
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: a number there, so congratulations to him. Theo Quiggle, the
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: senior from Seahome, is your Phoenix Coffee Offensive Player of
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: the Week. Now going to defense. The Defensive Player of
• 59:10

  Speaker 1: one one six two seven say give me the Tyler

  Speaker 1: can go straight into the Marines if you'd like. Again,
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of great you know players to choose from.
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: We had some pick six's and all sorts of different things.
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: A lot of plays from you know, over the over
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: the weekend that UH are on defense. I think three
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: out of the four defensive plays made it in the
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: UH into the PEPSI Player of the Week that you
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: can vote on right now. Check that out. But I'm
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: going with the sophomore linebacker from Blaine, Matt Campion. He
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: had a complete breakout game. I thought he played amazing
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: nine tackles, three tackles for loss, pass broken up, a fumble, recovery,
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: and an interception. He was all over the field. Matt Campion,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: the sophomore linebacker from Blaine, is your Max Hair Studio
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Week. And now we go special teams.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: And when we talk special teams, we got to talk
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: about Pet's real Estate. They are your preferred real estate
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: agency in Walkham County. Visit them at pets real Estate
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: dot com. That's Petz real Estate dot com. And this
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: was a tricky one because there wasn't you know, you
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: looked at a lot of scores. A couple of Walkom
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: County teams got shut out, so there wasn't you know,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of extra points being kicked. Stuff like that.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: You know, Seaholmes scored a lot of points, but they
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: didn't kick a lot of extra points. There were, you know,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: some good stuff here and there. I thought that Tyler
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: Martin did a great job. He kicked a twenty yard
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: field goal, had a big punt return, he had some
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: good kickoff returns, So a lot of good things there
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: as well. But I'm going with huf out of Sea Home.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: The punt return for a touchdown, that's always a super
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: exciting play, and Hudson ne F is, uh yeah, just
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: he's really really doing well on the punt returns. I
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: think he's only returned three, but he's close to like
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: one hundred yards already in his punt returns. So Hudson
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: Nef out of Seahome, he's your Pet's Real Estate Special
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: Teams Player of the Week, the Senior. And we go
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: to the big Man, the offensive lineman, Anytime Fitness Offensive
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: Lineman of the Week, of course, Anytime Fitness. We're talking
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: about the three locations in Linden, Linden North and Ferndale.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: They also do the scoreboards sponsoring the scoreboards, which is
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: great and you know they're probably gonna jump all over
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: the top one hundred list again. They've done that for
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know three years in a row, four years
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: in a row, something like that, and every offensive lineman's
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: dream come true. It happened on Friday night. Got to
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: give it to Colshrom the Valley, the Senior from Ferndale,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: the Center. Yes, he had a great game opening past
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: John stannik ran Wild, Elliott Lenzen ran Wild and Ferndale
• 1:02:10
