  Speaker 1: Greetings and welcome into the Whatcom Preps podcast. This is
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: episode 440, the week one fall sports recap, and I
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: am Tyler Anderson of Whatcom Preps. Man, it's been a
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: long time since we've done one of these, but I'm
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: pretty excited about it. It wasn't a full week this
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: past week, so I kind of was going back and forth.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Should I do a podcast for this week? Should I not?
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: And I just thought, you know what? I probably should.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: It'd be a good way to kind of get back
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: into the swing of things. This podcast is dedicated to
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: all the fall sports being played. except football. That'll have
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: its own podcast come out tomorrow. So just be on
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the lookout for that. So, uh, so nope, no problem there.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: That's just kind of how the cookie crumbles here. And so, uh,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: but a lot of sports to still talk about, uh,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: this past week, we didn't have any cross country or
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: girls swimming and diving. So we're only going to talk
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: about boys, tennis, girls, soccer, and volleyball. So that's what
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: we're going to focus on. And, uh, I want to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: give a shout-out to Walton Beverage. Walton Beverage has been
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: a staple in our community for over 95 years, and
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I will continue to work harder every day to make
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the fantastic people at Walton Beverage proud to sponsor youth
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: sports in our community. They deliver superior quality and commitment,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: and I plan to do the very same. Usually in
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: this piece, in this first part, we talk about cross-country,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: which is brought to you by Stauffer Insurance. Give them
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: a call at 360-746-8803 or in person at 1903 Front
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Street in Linden. Or visit them online at StaufferInsurance.com. They
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: are happy to help. Of course, there was no cross-country
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: this week. I believe the first race will be coming
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: up this upcoming Saturday. So nothing during the week either.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: And then the following week, then there will start to
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: be conference meets and stuff like that. But Stauffer Insurance,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I'm always happy to plug them. They've been there since
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: day one. So always happy to give them a shout-out,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: even though there was no cross-country this past week. Also,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: so we're going to move to boys tennis boys. Tennis
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: is sponsored by Kurt Mayberry farms, a family growing tradition, strawberries, raspberries,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and blueberries. They're a fourth generation family owned and operated
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: berry farm committed to growing the highest quality berries. Check
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: them out at Kurt Mayberry farm.com. That's Kurt with a
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: C M a B E R R Y farm.com. And
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: there was tennis that happened late in the week this
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: past week on Friday. Um, a few matches here, including, uh,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: some of the Whatcom County flavor here. The first one
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: we're going to talk about is Squalicum shutting out Anacortes
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: seven to zero, which, you know, to be honest, it
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: kind of took me by surprise because Anacortes has been
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: such a strong, uh, tennis team over the years, but
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: they must've been pretty senior heavy, uh, cause Squalicum took
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: it to them. Um, over this past, on Friday, I
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: should say, picking up wins, Ben Ahn, Noah Schmidt, Gabe Harrison,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and Don Wynn, all in singles competition. And then the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: doubles teams of Huddy Daughters and Alvin Lee together, Braylon
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Savage and Luke Swanson, and team three with Keston Greisel
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and Kizo Gimbois. And what the big score that stood
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: out was that third set of, of the top doubles
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: match with Huddie daughters and Alvin Lee defeating Sam Johnson
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and Finn McDonough of Anacortes. They dropped the first set
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: six to four, came back and won seven to six
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: on the next one. And the third one was 15
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to 13. Talk about a marathon set. So, um, you know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I might have to have, uh, Huddie daughters on as
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: a guest on here, just to talk about that and
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: see if we can get some answers because, uh, I
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: know that he's a fan of the show. And so, uh,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: It'd be fun to talk to him and just kind
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: of talk, see if he's ever been in anything like
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: that before. So congratulations to Squalicum jumping out to a
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: 7-0 lead there. Bellingham beating Seaholm 5-2. Again, that was,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: it's kind of cool to see them match up this
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: early in the season. Those are usually two very, you know,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: near the top of the league year after year. Of course,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Bellingham does return the singles state champion. That's Leo Kuhn.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: He defeated Oscar O'Neill 6-1, 6-1. Michael Yeh of Sehome
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: also won, and Luke Norman of Sehome won as well.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Those were the two Sehome winners. Bronco Cook of Bellingham
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: won his singles match in the number three singles, and
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: then all the doubles teams for Bellingham won. Jack Gebhardt
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: and Wesley Miller as team one, Isaac Furda and Isaac
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Rodriguez team two, and Beckett Fisher and Avery Neame team three.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: The other matchup, including Whatcom County teams, was Mount Vernon
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: defeating Ferndale six to one, Ferndale's lone winner was Billy
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Top Gregory in singles competition. He is the number four
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: singles player. So that is what happened this past week
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: in varsity boys tennis. There will be a lot more.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: There will be multiple days per week where they'll be
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: playing a lot more, but there was only action on Friday,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: and that's what took place. So, again, excited to go
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: out and check out all these athletes, a lot of
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: these athletes I know from other sports as well. So
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: now we're going to jump over to Girls Soccer, which
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: is sponsored by North County Alliance FC. Visit them online

• 5:45
  Speaker 1: So there was a few, you know, Everybody from Whatcom County,

  Speaker 1: finished in third place in last year's 1A state tournament.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: And Royal got the best of Meridian last year. four
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: to zero. Looking at the statistics, if we're going by goals,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: we can probably read everybody that scored because there hasn't
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: been too many goals scored. Players that just have one
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: goal so far, Sophia Guzman of Meridian, Kaylin Hinton of

• 7:46
  Speaker 1: three goals, this all came against Sultan as the Meridian
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Trojans combo of Luz Lane and Avery Warnock each had
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: a hat trick against Sultan. So they each have three
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: goals on the year. Another exciting thing is that I'm
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: finally getting, I think I've got every team on board
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: to send me assists this year. So it won't be
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: just goals. So I'm really excited about that. So far
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: leading the way in assists, Les Lane of Meridian, Joan
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Downing of Sehome, and Kaylee Williams of Meridian each have
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: two assists. And then there's a handful of players that
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: have one assist so far this year. Avery Warnock of Meridian,

  Speaker 1: of Linden, Gretchen Elmendorf of Nooksack Valley, and Allie Bailey
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: of Bellingham all have an assist on the year. So
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: it's really exciting to add that into the statistics page
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: that I have and If you want to check out
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the girls' statistics at any time, you can always go
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: to walkinpreps.com. And then on the menu, I guess you
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: would say, where you can look at all the different things,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: there is a tab there that says 2026 Girls Soccer Statistics.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: So you can click on that, and it will give
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: you all the rundown. You can sort by goals. You
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: can sort by assist. You can sort by team. So
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: you can kind of see, like, you know, you can

  Speaker 1: click on any of the players' names, and it brings
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: you to their personal page. So there's all sorts of

  Speaker 1: that updated the best that I can. I usually get
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: info sometimes the night of, sometimes the next day. And,
• 9:32

• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Alliance FC. And after that kind of half week of soccer,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: it's time to give out the North County Alliance FC
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Player of the Week. Now, there were some really strong performances. Obviously,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Les Lane has three goals and two assists. And she
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: did that in one game. So statistically, she probably had
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: the best week. You know, Vivian Moss had two goals
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: and an assist. against Ferndale, which was pretty impressive, but I,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go with Hattie Hendricks of Linden Christian.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: And the reason is, is there, they went to a
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: no this week, but doing it against Anna Cordes and
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Linden really stood out to me. She, she, had a
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: big part in both games. She scored a goal in
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: both games, also had an assist. And so overall, I
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: think she had the strongest week. So congratulations to the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Linden Christian senior, Hattie Hendricks on being named the North
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: County Alliance FC player of the week. And now we
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: will jump to volleyball and we got some really cool
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: sponsors to, to read about here. The daily recaps are
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: brought to you again, same as last year's to this year,

• 11:14
  Speaker 1: 360-686-9900 or go online at andgar.com. That's A-N-D-G-A-R.com. And if
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: volleyball season kicked off on Wednesday night, that was really
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: exciting because it was the first kind of, it was
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the first sporting event of the year. So it was
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: awesome to go to that. I went out to Ferndale
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: to check out Linden and Ferndale. And I kind of
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: looked at it as those being the top two teams
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: in the Northwest conference in my eyes. And, um, And Linden, man,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: they're really good. They were the state champs last year,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: undefeated season last year, and they took it to Ferndale.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Ferndale is really good as well. They're not going to
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: have many league losses. So that was an impressive game
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: from Linden. They won in three straight sets, 25-17, 25-16,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: and 25-17. Also that same night, a couple of state Participants,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: state placers from last year played against each other. Sehome
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: against Meridian. Sehome won three sets to zero, and they
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: were a little closer, 25-23, 25-19, and 25-21. That showed
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: me a lot from the Mariners because they graduated so
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: many seniors. So for them to pick up the win
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: over against a strong Meridian team on the road really,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: really told me a lot there. Also on Wednesday, Cedro
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Wooley defeated Bellingham three sets to one. The visiting club's
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Cubs clawed out to a 2-0 lead after winning the
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: first two sets, 25-16, 25-19. But the Bayhawks had a
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: huge win in the third one, 25-14. So out of
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: all the sets, that was the most dominant one, and
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: it was by Bellingham. And they played even with Cedro
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Wooley in the fourth set, even took a late lead.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: but some strong outside hitting of the Cubs prevailed in
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the end as they came back to beat the Bayhawks
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: 25-23 in the fourth set, which clinched the match. So
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: that was a tough one for Bellingham there. So many
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: new varsity players, and they played extremely well against the Cubs,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: which told me that they have been communicating really well,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: a lot of new players on the court. So that's
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: good to see. And then the next night, Thursday night,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I was able to get into the squalicum gym a
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: little late as they were closing down or closing down
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: as they were ending the second set, which squalicum one
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: 25 to 12, after winning the first one, 25 to 13,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: they were making quick work of the Oak Harbor wildcats. And, uh,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: and the third set, it was more of the same
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: as they won 25 to 13 there. So, um, boy,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: it was so funny. Cause I was, I was walking
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: into the gym and walking down to the court as
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: you know, they were in between the second and third set.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: So the Squalicum team was kind of huddled there and getting,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: you know, instruction from their coach, Kinsey Morris. And then
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: they saw me, and they're all like, Tyler, hey, Tyler,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: what's up? And I thought, oh, my goodness, I don't
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: want to be a distraction. But it was cool because
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I really felt like it pumped them up. They played
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: extremely well. You know, even as I walked around to
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: get a different angle for pictures, Reagan Wheeler put out
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: her fist to give me a fist bump. This is
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: during the game, so I'm glad they feel comfortable with
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: me there because you just never know. So I'm really
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: glad to see the Storm take care of business there
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: against the Wildcats. Also pretty excited to see what Mount
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Baker did at Sultan. The Turks are new to the
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Northwest Conference. Mount Baker took it to them 3-0. Mount Baker,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: who did not win a conference match last year, already
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: picked one up this year by beating Sultan 25-16, 25-17,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: and 25-19. Nooksack Valley also defeated Burlington Edison in three
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: straight sets. and they totaled 18 aces, which is just
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: a huge number. Really good play by a lot of
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: new-coming players as well for the Pioneers, so great to
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: see them get off on the right track. On Saturday,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: there were a few matches. Linden versus Linden Christian was
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: the big one, and Linden won the first two sets
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: pretty easily, 25-12 and 25-16, but the rinks lost. The
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Lynx rallied in the third set behind a raucous student
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: section and won 25-23, but the juice ran out in
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the fourth set as Lyndon prevailed 25-15. In that four-set match,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Finley Parcher, 30 kills. I don't know if I've seen
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: that number before. I know it went four sets, but
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: that is an incredible number, and they're going to be
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: tough to beat once again. I was also up in
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Blaine that day, and I was able to catch out
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the Borderites play their first match of the year against
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: the Mariner Marauders. Mariner is a 4A school. They dropped
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: that one in three sets, 25-18, 25-13, and 25-19. So
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: that's all the volleyball that was played. Every team in
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Whatcom County got to play a little bit, so I
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: figured that because of that– And I could look at
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: all the stat leaders, and then I could give out
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the players of the week. So when we go to
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: the stat leaders, the stat leaders are brought to you
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: by Apex Volleyball Northwest. Apex Northwest Volleyball Club utilizes competitive
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: volleyball to develop stronger athletes, nurture well-rounded individuals, and provide

  Speaker 1: out at apexnwvolleyballclub.org. So when we look at all the
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: stat leaders here, we're going to start off at kills
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: per set. And leading the way is Finley Parcher of
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Linden at 6.71 kills per set. That is an incredible number.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: She is followed by Melanie Short of Meridian, 5.67. Svetlana
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Badak of Ferndale, 3.67. And then there's a tie at 3.33
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: kills per set. between Elizabeth DeLange of Nooksack Valley and
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: the Seaholm duo of Paige Florey and Radler Rosellison. And
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: when you go to digs per set, leading the way
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: is Bailey Burge of Bellingham, 5.25 digs per set. Right
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: behind her is Brooklyn Larrabee of Ferndale at 4.67. Amelia
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Koning of Meridian at 4.33. Lexi Hermanutz, 4.29. And then
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: a two-way tie at four digs per set between Jackie
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Hurley of Seaholm And Melanie Short of Meridian. We go
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: to assists per set. Izzy Stephan leading the way of Linden, 10.71
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: assists per set. That's a pretty big number as well.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Taylor Terrell of Sehome, 9.33. Kendall Stacey of Meridian at
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: 9 assists per set. Brooklyn Larrabee of Ferndale, 8 assists
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: per set. And Layla Porter of Mount Baker, 7.33 assists.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: And in aces per set, we got two players that
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: put up numbers this past week that I had never
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: seen before. And I've only really been covering volleyball locally
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: for about five or six years. The last four years,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: very heavily, but still a little bit before that as well,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: a game here and there. And these two players had
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: 10 aces in their three-set match. I don't know if
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I'd ever seen that number before. Those players were Radler
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Rosellison of Sehome. and Kendall Juergens of Nooksack Valley. So
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: they're both leading the way at 3.33 aces per set.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Avery Kettman of Squalicum had two aces per set played.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: And then Finley Mitchell of Nooksack Valley, 1.33, and Lily
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Reeves of Mount Baker, also 1.33 aces per set. And
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: then finally, Blocks per set, leading the way is Sienna
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Briones of Ferndale, 0.83, which is really impressive. Last year,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: she was an outside hitter. I don't think she played
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: middle blocker very much. She's moved positions and leads Whatcom
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: County right now in blocks per set. So that's really
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: impressive to see that change and for her to play
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: so well, which is really cool to see. Avery Kettman
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: of Squalicum and Brooklyn Flamer of Sehome each had 0.67
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: blocks per set. At 0.63 is Audrey Real of Bellingham.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: And then tied with a half a block per set
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: is Svetlana Badak of Ferndale and Taylor Terrell of Sehome.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: So those are your Apex Northwest Volleyball Club stat leaders.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: And that brings us to the Offensive and Defensive Player
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: of the Week. The Offensive Player of the Week is
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: brought to you by Andgar Home Comfort. And that player
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: is Finley Parcher. And, you know, I know she'll probably
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: put up numbers. every single week, but, you know, Lyndon
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: was the only team that played twice this past week.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: She had huge matchups in both of them against really
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: strong competition against Ferndale and Lyndon Christian. I just had
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: to give it to her. Finley Parcher of Lyndon is
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: your Andgar Home Comfort Offensive Player of the Week. The
• 20:08

  Speaker 1: though they took the loss against Cedar Woolley, she was
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: all over the court and leading the way in digs
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: so far in this young season. So again, it's kind
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: of a short episode, not a ton of stuff that happened, but, Um,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: just because it kind of started halfway through the week and, uh,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: and some sports didn't even, you know, kick off just yet. So,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: you know, like I said, it was about, should I
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: have this episode or not? I can just lump it
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: in with next week, but I thought, no, it can
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: stand alone. It's a good thing to get that stuff
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: out there. And, uh, so people have something to listen
• 21:22
