• 0:57
  Speaker 1: about her and her teammates here in just a little bit. Tyler. Hey,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: before we get going, Tyler, how about we let people
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: know if they want to sponsor something here on Walk
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Them Preps, or if they know somebody that might be interested,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: how do they get a hold of you?
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the best way is to contact me through social media.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Just look for Walk the Preps, send a message and
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: and just say hey, how can I get involved? And
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: we kind of go from there. Usually I like to
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: make a phone call and just and it's just easier
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: to get the ball rolling that way. Yeah, and and
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: it's just it's pretty steady. I mean, things have been
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: coming in and and it's really exciting. I'm excited for
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: the new year. I haven't totaled up. I'm I believe
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: it or not. This is crazy, but I'm excited to
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: do my taxes because I'm really curious, like how much
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: walkingm Preps made this past year fingers crossed that I'm
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I'm into the five digits now. And yeah, it's it's
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: just exciting. I just you know, I my goal is
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: to get to the poverty line, as you know. If
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I can get there, then man, I'm going to be
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: so dang happy. And but it's it's a really really
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: cool deal. So many people in the community have gotten involved.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: And what's great too, is that a lot of these
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: companies are have been repeat customers, you know what I mean,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Like once they're in, they're kind of in, you know,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: They're just like, yeah, I want to keep going. I
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: want to keep going. And that's what's really neat is
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: that is that they have been happy with the service,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, So it's been worth their while.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: So I think it's a good thing to jump on
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: and it can keep this whole thing going.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, if the office taught me anything it
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: was that, you know, resetting a customer is way better
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: than signing up new ones. Right. Yeah. Anyway, one of
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the things you'll notice here there's a couple of things
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: that don't have sponsors that we're going to talk about here,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Tyler boys wrestling, Girls wrestling, no sponsorships at all for them.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: But then we've got Boys Women Dive, which is brought
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: to you by Staffer Insurance. And then there's a lot
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: of stuff with boys and girls basketball, Edilye daries, on
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: board acceleration, driving school, a new one, most aery construction
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: that we'll talk about them here in a little bit anytime.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Fitness Yeah, which, by the way, all of those other
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: than the most are construction are all they've done a
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: few things in the past. So yeah, so yeah, get
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: on board, sponsor something, find something, reach out to Tyler,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: who'll get you taken care of. We got a lot
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: of things to talk about, but this is probably not
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: going to be as long as normal just because there
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: isn't nearly as many things going on this week. Next
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: week is going to be interesting. We may or may
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: not have a weekly wrap up. We're going to try
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: to kind of play it by ear. I would think
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: we will still hop on and hammer something out, but
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: it could be very short next week because there's not
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: a whole lot going on this upcoming week. And we'll
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: talk about that towards the end of the play podcast
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: when we do our intriguing games this week, and Tyler
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: only has really one thing to talk about. That being said, Tyler,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: let's start off with boys wrestling. No duel meets going
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: on in the county this week, at least not that
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: we saw online. That's pretty much the way it works
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: with us as far as wrestling goes is We've got
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to kind of go with what is available to us.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: But there were a couple of tournaments, one really big
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: one down in Ridgefield, the Pac Coast Wrestling Championships. Sixty
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: three teams on hand down there. I mean, this is
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: pretty wild. Bellingham finishes forty seventh out of sixty three, Wapatau, Skyview,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Pendleton they win well. Wapata wins, followed by Skyview, followed
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: by Pendleton, two hundred and twenty two point five points
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: for Wapato. Bellingham ends up with forty nine points. Again
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: sixty three teams. These brackets were unbelievably huge. It was
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: a two day thing down there. They do it like this.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know what is convention center. They have like
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: an outdoor amphitheater. Ridgefield is absolutely blowing up. That area
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: is just getting so big it's crazy. But yeah, of
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the wrestlers that went down for Bellingham, just one placer.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Tyler, Yeah, Connor Rodriguez stiff one hundred and fifty seven
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: pounds place fifth, took fifth place, And which is I
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: mean out of all those wrestlers, could you imagine them?
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: And that is just incredible. And there's schools from other states. Yeah,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: it's a pretty it's pretty pretty cool deal. And he's
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: he's one heck of a wrestler.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I looked at I was looking it up earlier.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Like Nate loss one, I think two or three matches
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: in this tournament and was still like one or two
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: wins away from even having an opportunity to place.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's so many wrestlers.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy, I mean just unbelievable. It's it's really
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: cool because as somebody that just loves wrestling like I
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: can only imagine what it looked like down there. I mean,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: it had to just be absolute chaos. As far as
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: is making sure you know exactly what matt you're on
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and you know the referees. I can only imagine what
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: those guys are going through. Holy cow. Only other tournament
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: going on for the boys was the Rock Tournament out
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: at Vashon Island High School. Monta Sano comes away with
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the win two hundred and two point five. Mount Baker
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: finishes second one hundred and eighty three point five. Blaine
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: finishes third with one hundred and forty nine point five,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and then Lake Stevens, who you know, a pretty successful program.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: They finished fourth with one forty eight point five, one
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: point behind Blaine. Fifteen teams total in this one. Quite
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: a few placers here, Tyler, let's run through it. How
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: about one hundred and twenty pounds.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Cole Voight from Blaine took first place one.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Hundred and twenty six pounds.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Vinisaiah of Blaine took fourth, and Aiden Hancock of Blaine
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: and Isaac deda Creek of Mount Baker both took six.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Looks like they didn't wrestle off for fifth at sixth.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so the one thing that I noticed here is
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: there's a couple of fourth placers, a couple of six placers,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: meaning the only ones that actually I guess we're settled
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: was first and second place. Everything else was, Hey, these
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: guys are both finishing fourth. These guys are both finished
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: in sixth. I don't know why they do that sometimes,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: but or maybe it just didn't get reported.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, or those were so late
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: in the game they didn't get but in Yeah.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you never know, but I have seen it before
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: where they do just finish fourth and sixth like that.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a very big tournament though, so I would
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: imagine they wrestled, But again, we can go with the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: information that we have. How about one hundred and thirty
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: two pounds.
• 7:35

  Speaker 2: Sean dug of Mount Baker we know from football he

  Speaker 1: We did just give us the intro like a week
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: ago or two weeks ago. Yes, he did. Yeah, I
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: think it was it the top one hundred that he
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: did it.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he did one of the top one hundreds.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: How about one hundred and fifty pounds.

  Speaker 2: a guy, and he's a guy that wins a lot
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: of tournaments, so that must.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Have been a pretty stacked bracket there, one hundred and
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: seventy five pounds.

• 8:57
  Speaker 2: I did not know unless he wrestled at a younger age.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: But he's built for it. Yeah, would imagine he'd be
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: pretty good.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Oh that's what I was gonna say. Like he looks
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: like a guy like when you just look at him physically,

• 9:27
  Speaker 1: no duels this week, And uh, there was a big
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: tournament out at Blaine called the Border right blizzard. I
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: would imagine it wasn't actually a blizzard up there, or
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: else they probably wouldn't have had the tournament. Uh, But
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: that being said, there was I believe eighteen teams in
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: this tournament, and there are a lot of local teams here.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: So Cedral Woollie girls. Uh, they win the championship, they
• 9:50

  Speaker 1: Nice Finn. There's a lot of fins. Yeah, I mean,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: no thing more perfect for swimming than a finn's right, exactly.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah again, Boys Swimming died brought you by Stafford Insurance.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Thank you to them for their continued support of Walkome Preps.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Let's talk at girls at basketball, Tyler. The scoreboards are
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: brought to you by Edelen Dairy. My favorite part right here.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: From satisfied cows to satisfied customers. Find them online at
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: edelendairy dot com. That's E D A L E E
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: and dairy dot com. There are some teams that did
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: not play this week, Tyler, but let's just kind of
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: bounce through and talk about everybody just a little bit.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: See Home four and five, Squalicum three and five, Ferndale
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: three and five, blamee That two and five Ferndale and
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Blaine that did not play this week. But Seaholme and
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Squalkumb did Tyler what went on there?
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Squalcum hosted Eisenhower. Was a low scoring game. Squalkamb
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: only able to put up twenty five points, lost forty
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: to twenty five. They were without their starting point guard,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Lexi Robbins, who is a really really good player, and
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: that just kind of brought them down a little bit.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Hard to get the offense going. Loretta Murphy Kangus scored
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: almost half their points. They're a really young team, but
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: they're they're you know, they're gonna be just fine. I mean,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: very very young, and sometimes you're gonna play very young.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: See Home went over to a tournament, played a couple
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: of really good teams, lost to Eastmont seventy to forty,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: and lost to Ellensburg sixty two to twenty three. Ellensburg
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: has won something like I don't know the exact numbers,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: but like eighty four of their last eighty five games
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: or something like that, some crazy number. The one that
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: they've lost was against Lyndon.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: In the state championship, I believe.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: And so it's it's they are legit, and you know,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: that's just the way it goes some times. The good
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: thing for Seahome is that Taylor Terrell came back. She
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: missed a week, the really really good point guard, freshman
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: point guard. She's she's back, and so that's really gonna
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: help elevate them going going back into conference play here
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: pretty soon. I mean, see home. They're not afraid to anybody.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: They'll play these really tough teams. You know, they played
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Stanwood as well, and even though they're a very young
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: team with very very little varsity experience coming into this year,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: they're just they're not afraid. And I really love that
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: about their coaching staff in that program.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Let's see here, Knucksack Valley six and three, Mount Baker
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: five and three, Bellingham four and four. All three teams
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: did play this week.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Nuksack Valley went over to the to the t
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Town Tournament or something whatever that was called. Yeah, well
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: that's the wrestling one. Yeah, oh yeah, and and played
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: some pretty good teams. You know, teams I don't know
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: very well. I would imagine they're all bigger than one
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: A though lost a river Ridge fifty to forty two.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: They beat Silas forty two to twenty six, and then
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: lost to jan Et to forty two to thirty seven,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: so a couple of losses that were close. A pretty
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: good commanding win there at that Kate Shin Tapper did
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: a great job for knickzac Belly, elevating her her scoring
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: throughout that tournament. Peyton Bartell as well. Grace Dahogue. I mean,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: she's just a double double machine. She played really well too.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: I think they learned a lot as a team. And
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: it's a team of you know, four girls with a
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: lot of varsity experience and and then you know four
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: or five others that are really learning on the run here.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: So I believe Tyler, I believe that's three A, three
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: A and four A. I know one eat is four A.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I believe those other two are three A. So that's
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: stepping up a couple classes.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, good for them because that's you know, yes,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: they are the two times defending state champions, but you
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: know that most of that core group is gone now,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: so it's uh, you know, it's Shane Wickers is such
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: a great coach, and he knows what to do and
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: how to get his team ready, and and yeah, he's
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: just he's phenomenal. Matt Baker just played one game on
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: the Monday night hosting Granite Falls took care of business
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: there sixty to nineteen. Rebecca Sores had another huge game, uh,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: you know, something like twenty five and sixteen some some
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: something around there. Just incredible to watch. I got that
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: was my first time seeing her play in person, and
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: it's it's it's always better than watching on film. It's
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: pretty it's pretty crazy.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: And then Bellingham went over to Interlake and lost that
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: game sixty two to forty six. But they did a
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: good job putting up points. I tell you what, Bellingham
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: that's been their bugaboo the last few years is it's
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: just hard to get points on the board. Like they
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: would average right around twenty five to thirty points a game,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: and now they're, you know, averaging between forty and forty
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: five a game. So that's that's a really really cool turnaround.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: I really like what coach McClendon has done over there
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: and getting them to believe that they can play with
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: some of these other schools, and they're doing a really
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: good job.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Four teams kind of at the top, if you will.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Linden they are undefeated at eleven and zero, Lummy Nations
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: seven and one, Lynn Christian seven and two, Meridian at
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: seven and two. Now, Tyler Lummy did not play this week,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: but the other three did get in quite a few games.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Meridian played at their home tournament, the Trojan Storm
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Winter Classic, and they took second place by defeating Sultan
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: forty five to thirty five. Then they beat Lakewood fifty
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: to thirty nine and lost to Burlington Edison seventy two
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: to forty. Burlington Edison is just loaded. They got size, speed,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: they got shooting, defense, they got everything. I'm really really
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: intrigued to see how they will match up against Lyndon
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: later in the year. That's gonna be a fantastic game.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: And Meridian they're just scrappy. I mean, they have a
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: lot of players that can shoot, they play tough defense,
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: they're coached really well, and so they it seems like
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: when it's a close game, they just know how to
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: pull it out. And that's a really really cool thing
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: to see to see them doing. You know, they had
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: a rough year last year and and but that had
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: so many players coming back. And I remember talking to
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: their coach, Bree Joy before the season started and she
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: just said, she goes, I know they can do it.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: They just have to believe they can do it. They're
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: they're a pretty good team and sitting at seven and
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: two right now, that's pretty awesome for them. Lyndon Christian
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: they had a they you know, they came into this
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: week undefeated, but they kind of had a rough one.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: They beat Arlington, who I believe is four a now,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: sixty nine to forty nine. That happened on Monday, and
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: then they played in the tournament that they're hosting, the
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Linden Christian, the Linden Christmas Classic that is just loaded
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: with all the best girls teams from around the state
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: and one in Canada as well, which they beat Brookswood
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Academy or Brookswood Secondary forty seven to forty two, and
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: that team was really talented. I watched part of that game.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Brookswood actually beat them, they like they They got them
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: in three out of the four quarters. It was just
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: one really big quarter for Lenden Christian that was made
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: the difference for them to win. Then they then lost
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: to White River in a close one fifty six fifty three,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: and then lost to Issaquah sixty eight to fifty eight.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Those are big time teams and so you know, there's
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: no there's no shame in that Lindon Christian now at
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: seven to two. But I tell you, you look at
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: their non conference schedule and the teams that they're playing,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: and there's no surprise why they do so well once
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: they just play one A teams because they are battle tested.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: They are so good, and they have, you know, their
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: best players out for the year and they're still there's
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: still just have so much talent on that roster and
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: the coaching is unbelievable. Lyndon, my goodness, I saw them
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: this week. I saw them in that championship game against
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: White River where they won seventy two to fifty one.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: So they won the lending Christmas Classic. It took care
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: of meadow Dale sixty nine to fifty one. They beat
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Issaqua sixty five forty nine, and then beating White River
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: seventy two to fifty one in the championship game. They
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: are so oh darn good. Finley Parker scored forty points
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: against Issaquah. It was unbelievable. I mean, I think she
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: was like fourteen for twenty one from the floor, eleven
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: for twelve from the line. Peyton Mills had like eighteen
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: rebounds in that game. I mean they're just there's just
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: there's no holes in that team, you know. And the
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: really the one bugaboo that has kind of they've had
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: this year is they're not shooting as high of a
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: percentage from threes as they usually do. But they always
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: seem to have at least three girls on the floor
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: that are six to one, So they just get a
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: lot of offensive rebounds on those threes and put backs
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: or kickouts and you know, drive to the hoop, and
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, so you know, you know what I mean,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Like they always hit their foul shots. They're always going
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: to be over seventy percent on their foul shots as
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: a team, which is incredible, and and they get a
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: ton of offensive rebounds. So you put those two teams,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: those two things together, and you can overcome a lot.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: And now eleven and zero on the season, I don't
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: know if they're going to be stopped. I mean, if
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: they if they met up against Ellensburg again, that's gonna
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: be awesome. And I can't remember which team it is
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: that was a one A team last year that is
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: that was really really good that moved up to two way.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: It might be Deer Park and they were awesome at
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: the tournament last year, So that could be another really
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: good two A team. Archbishop Murphy's a very good two
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: A team Burlington, like I talked about. So there's some
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: there's some teams that will challenge them. But I think
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: right now Lindon is, you know, the team that everyone's
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: going to be looking up to right now and we'll see.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: I mean that what a great start to the season.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Eleven and zero, unbelievable players and just a fun team
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: to watch. They do everything right.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Tell you what I saw that is squad team Tyler.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: I saw them a few weeks ago play at Bothel
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: and they they're good. I mean they are really really good.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: They've got size, you know, not like huge sites, but
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: they got a couple of girls that are five ten
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: five eleven six ' one that are you know, three
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: of their better players, you know. And then they've got depth.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I mean they've they've like the you know, fourth girl
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: off the bench is a sophomore that is flying all
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: over the place, and then they've got a freshman that's
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: pretty good. I mean they played deep too, Like the
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: night that I saw them, I think they played almost
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: their entire roster and it was a seven point game.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean, Like they they played everybody.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was which is just not really normal
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: as far as I've seen in high school basketball. Typically
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: there's you know, four kids at the end of the
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: bench that are going to get in if it gets
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: out of hand, you know, And they were rotating everybody in.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: And I mean they were young too, if I remember,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: I think they only had one or two seniors. It
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: was pretty impressive watching that team. I was just like, wow,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: and they didn't even have their best player. She got
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: selected to the to the National Softball traveling team or something,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: so she's not playing basketball this year. Yeah, which is
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: It's one of those ones where you know, I don't
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: typically tell people to, you know, focus on one sport
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: because I think they should be playing multiple sports all year.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, when you get an opportunity like that,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: it's a little tough to turn turn down. Exactly. It's
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: not like you're just playing for some AAU team. No,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: You're playing for like team USA, Like, yeah, all right,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: a little bit different there, All right, that is a
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: look at the scoreboard. I guess the standings if you will.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I Mean, I don't really know what to call it,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: but I guess like a real look at the week.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Let's talk stat leaders here, Tyler, and the stats on
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: WAKAM preps are brought to you by Acceleration Driving School
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: in Linden. Give them a call. Three six zero seven
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: four six four five six seven. Let's go through each
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: different stat in Tyler, give me who now leads the county.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Let's start with points per game.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Finley Parcher jumped up, especially after that forty point game.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: And she scored thirty in the first game, forty in
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: the next one, and she scored eighteen in the championship game.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Just she's she's a force. She's at twenty three point
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: two points per game now just a sophomore. I mean,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: she is fantastic. And I don't you know, I'm not
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: great at projecting girls basketball, but I would imagine there's
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: some big there's a big school that she'll be going
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: to someday.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: How about rebounds, Yeah.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Grace Dahoague of Nuksack Valley has been kind of holding
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: onto this spot the whole time. She's at sixteen point
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: eight rebounds a game. You know, she stands about six
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: to one and when she's when she's down there, there's
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: not a lot that people can do to get her
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: off her spot. She has great positioning, really good hands,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: and a good athlete.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: She can jump.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, she's a great volleyball player, so just like
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: you were talking about a three sport athlete, you know,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: really good first baseman as well. So just a great,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: great athlete and she's she's a double double machine.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: How about assists per game?
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, still Lexi Robbins from Squalkham at four point seven
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: assists per game didn't didn't play this week, so nothing
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: nothing changed. Squalkam did have a game, but she was
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: not there to play steals per game. Same with Jemma
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: James of Lemy Nation seven point three steals a game,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: which is just crazy. Uh, But she's she she didn't
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: play this week either. But the way she plays defense,
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: I mean she kind of she kind of bits teams
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: into passing her way, and especially off the on the
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: inbounds after a make, you know, she will she'll wait
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: for that second pass and and she will just she'll
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: be about you know, eight feet off her man and
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: then she'll just jump and get the ball. And it's
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: this holy cow. She can time it so well and
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: she can finish at the hoop afterwards too. Blocks per game, Yeah,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Aspen Barge of Seahome has been holding onto that. She's
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: at two blocks a game now and at six foot one.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: But I you know, there's other players that are six
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: one six y two in the county, but I don't
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: know if they have the wingspan that Aspen Barge does.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: She's she has got very long arms and she's and
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: she times it very very well. Uh.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Field goal percentage Styler.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Alison Shoemate from from Christian She she kind of
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: moved up the charts this week at that tournament. I
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: think in that last game she went eight for nine. Uh,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: she can get really good positioned down low. She's six
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: feet tall as well, and a lot of playing experience
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: for the Lennen Christian Links. And she's at sixty four
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: point seven percent now. You know, she was at at
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: the low fifties coming into this week. So she had
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: a great, great week and moved herself up into the
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: top spot.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: This seems kind of ridiculous here, Tyler, three point percentage
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing over fifty percent.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Daniel Dikstra, she's just a sharp shooter. She is
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: so good and she's had she's had a run of
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: games now where she's like two for two or three
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: for four, and that percentage has been climbing up. That's
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: the thing, too, is to be able to be on
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: this you have to attempt at least two threes a game.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: So you can't be just like shooting one a game
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: or something one for one year in there. You have
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: to be a volume shooter, and she is, and she's fantastic,
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: and uh yeah, it's it's pretty crazy because she's six
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: feet tall as well, but she's a guard, so it's
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: it's pretty unique. So she gets a good look at
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: this shot at the basket every time.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: How about three throw percentage?
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Brooklyn Fuller of Meridians still leads. Coming into this week,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: she was still at one hundred percent. She was thirteen
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: for thirteen. She finally missed a few at this tournament,
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: but still a very very high percentage of eighty seven percent.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Tyler, Uh, does Lyndon really only have two seniors? Yes,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: my goodness, Yeah, I just I was just intrigued because
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: you're talking about Finley Parcher being young, and so I
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: was like, I wonder what the I wonder what the
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: roster looks like. And then it's just like WHOA, Yeah,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: it'd be.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Kecky York and Melanie Anderson.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Keky york Is is like a she's so good at defense.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: She's people have said like she's like a generational defensive player,
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: like she's not gonna score a lot of points, but
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: holy cow, like she she shuts them down.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: She scores by not giving up points right and.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: Then and she'll get she'll score like six or seven
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: a game. But defensively she's just crazy. And Melanie Anderson
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: we talked about during during softball. She hasn't played basketball
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: in a while, so this is kind of her first
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: year back. She decided to come back out for her
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: senior year. So you know, she's she's probably like the
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: ninth or tenth player on the team. Now Lynnon does
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: play a lot of players, but that just that gives
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: you an idea of how young the entire team is.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: It's it's it's pretty crazy.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And then I'm looking at the team picture here
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: and eleven, twenty two and thirty and then there's two
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: girls that are back to back that I don't I
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: don't know their numbers. Those are some tall girls, I mean,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: and twenty three is not short either. I mean just
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: looking at it, going holy cow, like what is going
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: on here?
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: What was crazy too, is they they played a game
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago and there was a girl
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: that came in I think it was I don't know
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: if it was like number thirty four or something like that,
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: and I didn't have a thirty four on the roster.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: And I texted one of the assists coaches who I'm
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: close with, and I say, hey, who was this that
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: came in and scored like six points and had three
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: rebounds and number it was number thirty four or whatever.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: He's like, I was, that's Emily Dykstras six y three freshmen.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh great.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Six three freshmen.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: What.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: So I'm just like, you know, it just does not end,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: you know, it's oh, it's it's pretty crazy. So it's
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: and it's fun. I mean, they're just really good and
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: and I'm just glad to you know, be able to
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: see them as much as I do.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: It's really cool. Yeah, I mean, that's one of those ones.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Like last year, I went to quite a few Bothel
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Girls games because our girls were I think finished fifth,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: sixth in state. But eventually got to a point where
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: I started watching a lot of Woodenville, even though not
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: a big fan of the Green team across town, but
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: started watching them because, man, they got some girls that
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: are just really good. One of them is going to
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: I want to say, Eastern Washington or something, and she's like,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know, six ' three and just dominant, you know.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: And it's like, yeah, I mean, kind of sucks because
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: she always kicked our butts, but she's fun to watch,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: you know, And it's just sometimes you just sometimes you
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: just go because it's fun to watch, you know what
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: I mean. Ye Man, all right, that's girls basketball and stats.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Let's jump over talk about boys basketball. Tyler and the

• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Very excited to have them on board. Finally somebody buys
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: into the idea of the daily recaps. My goodness. And
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: by the way, the girls basketball daily recaps are still available, Tyler.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true, that's true. I mean this is a
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: daily thing basically that goes up, you know, other than
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: you know, they don't play on Sundays, but other than that,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: it's pretty much it ended in the holidays, you know,
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: we've just hadn't coming up with but other than that,
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: and it's a daily thing. Yeah. Really happy about Most
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Area Construction jumping on board. I've known I've been kind
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: of involved with them. I've known them forever. I mean
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: I worked their twenties boys six years ago. And the
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: homes they built are phenomenal. I mean when I was
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: working there, they built a house for somebody that had
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: an elevator in it. I mean, these are like incredible
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: custom homes, very very high end stuff, really really cool stuff.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: But they will do you know, there's no job too small,
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: you know, they they will jump on anything. They recently,
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: you know, built a house for a perhaps retired NBA
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: player that happens to live in Walking County that is unnamed.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: You know, it's just really cool, cool things and it
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: was a fun place to work, awesome people and they
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: did they do the job right, and that's what's really cool.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Tyler, let's go through and uh we'll talk about
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: each of the teams, just like we did with the
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: girls side. And we will start with Sea Home four
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: and five, squal them three and five, Blame two and five.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Now the Border Rights did not play this week. The
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: other two did.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, see Home, See Home went. And they're just looking
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: for bodies right now. I mean they the injury tool
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: has just been crazy. And so you know what, they
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: added Andre Watson to the basketball team. How cool is that?
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: He hasn't played since his freshman year and but this
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: but the way they play is they just want to
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: you know, they're gonna they're gonna outwork you. And you
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: know he could put him out there and just play
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: defense and get rebounds and and so they you know,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: they went and played a couple of really good teams.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: They they lost to Ellensburg fifty six thirty nine. They'd
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: turn around and beat Eastmont fifty two to thirty eight.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: I think Ellensburg had a kid that was like six
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: foot nine, and Seehome doesn't have a kid over six
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: to two. You know, they're basically starting a small forward
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: at center and and they're just going to try to
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: grind and grind and grind and shoot a lot of threes.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know if any team shoots a higher percentage
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: of their shots from deep than See Home. I think
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: last time I looked at was over fifty percent of
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: their shots are from threes. So, you know, I mean,
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: that's just kind of the way the game is now.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: But they went one and one this week See Home
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: they went to and zero to up their record to
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: three and five. They've had a tough road and really
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: close games against good, good teams they played against earlier
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: in the year. They played against Marysville Getchell, who I know,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: you saw you were impressed with them, and you know,
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: they've just they've had some close games that they've lost.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: They beat Jackson sixty four to forty six. They beat
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Inglemore forty eight forty four, and they were without some
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: key players. Laki Fungatua was not out there, Zach Watt
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: was not available. There was a handful of players that
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: are like starter that that they did not have. But
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: they some other guys you know, came up and played huge.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Ty Hoffman getting hitting threes, playing defense, grabbing rebounds, Hunter Callaway,
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: Marcus Nickson. Those guys you know, usually get the job
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: done night in and night out. Jackson Hofer hit a
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: ton of threes. So Squalkam had a really really good week.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: Happy to see them go to a zero because their
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: record of three and five is just not that does
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: not match their you know, their quality. They are a
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: very very good team, and I'm curious. You know, once
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: the season kind of all plays out and everybody's played
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: each other, the records start to become a little bit
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: more truthful.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: That makes sense. Let's see here, Mount Baker five and three,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Bellingham five and four, Nooksack Valley and Ferndale both the
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: four and four and both did not play this week, Tyler.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: But Mount Baker and Bellingham they got in a few games.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Mount Baker saw them Monday night beat they beat
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: Grant Falls sixty seven to forty eight. They are they're
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: just a very very complete team. I mean, first time
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: they've had had five wins in a season in a while,
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, which is just you know, I know it's
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: crazy to even think that, but they've just been down,
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: but coach Tony Clark has really got them turned around.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: I was so jacked to be a part of their
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: fundraising game, their alumni game, old guys versus young guys.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: They did not have a section for old fat guys.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: That would have been me, but they let me play
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: on the old guys team, which was fantastic. The great
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: thing was we had sixteen players on our team, so
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: we kind of we kind of divvied up into three
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: groups of five and then I was the sixteenth guy.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: So it was kind of like, you know, I would
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: start a quarter and then just run as long as
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: I could until I got tired, and we just did
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: like a hockey change, you know. I would just come
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: out for somebody and and it was fun. I mean,
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: I played a little bit here and there.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: But hold on, we have to recap one thing though.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Uh huh. I heard that you smacked the floor while
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: playing defense. I did well. Now, first off, it looked
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: as though you guys were playing the zone A two three.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, well, yeah, I mean I figured you weren't
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: like that, that that'd be like playing with the.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna guard Aiden Rodriguez and run around.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well I was gonna say that'd be like from
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Hoosiers where they had the what was at four and
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: a half? You know what I mean exactly, But like, okay,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: so you got you were you guys backed up and
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: you're smacking the floor trying to get you know, your
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: team fired up? Or were they bringing the ball?
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: It was when I first came in and they're about
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: ready to inbound the ball, and I did it just
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: to kind of get a rise out of everybody. And
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: uh and obviously because I'm not playing much defense, I'm
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: not exactly as quick on my feet as I used
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: to be. But man, it was fun. It was it
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: was I did get one shot off every time I
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: touched the ball. Everyone's like, shoot it. I mean even
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: the opposing coaches, you know, the coaches and the officials
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: and the timekeeper and everybody. They were all the players,
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: the current are all the mount their Mount Baker, their
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: Mount Baker basketball team. Gotcha And so that was cool.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: And who is your coach?
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: My coach?
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: It was two coaches. It was Cole Lucas and Chris Armbright,
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: a couple of seniors on the Mount Baker basketball team,
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: and they were like, you can go in whenever you want,
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: you could do whatever you have, you can do. And
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: I was like, no, no, no, no, no, I'm gonna let
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: these other guys play. Uh you know, I think they
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: might just be, you know, wanting some walking preps love.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: But uh but it was, yeah, it was. It was
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: fun playing against I think there was five guys on
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: the other team that were college football players and like
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: current you know, like Landon Smith, Davin Beeson, Aiden Corning,
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: Aiden Rodriguez. Uh yeah, I mean they were just did
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Ethan Larson exactly. I mean, by the way, it looks huge, like, yes, yeah,
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: he got moved to he got moved to tackle from
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: offensive end to tackle. Yes, So and he's enjoying it.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: He's he's happy, he's happy with it. So yeah, they
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: rub the ball a lot out there.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: I bet he is. Yeah. Yeah.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: So and another guy, I mean, Mason Jacoby, And I
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: mean there was just some dudes out there that were
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: that were serious and we were we were up after
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: the first quarter and uh, you know the old man
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: moves and and playing some old school basketball and we
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: were up. But uh, you know, we got tired as
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: the game went on, and they they they got us
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: by I think nineteen point. It was like sixty sixty
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: two to forty three something like that. I think by
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: by the end, we're just like, let's just get shooters
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: out there and hit try to hit some threes. And
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: and yeah, it was, it was, yeah, it was. It
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: was fun though, it was it was really cool. I
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: didn't I didn't run too hard. I didn't want to
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: you know, you know, pop any Achilles or anything.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: I want to make anybody look bad, right exactly.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: Uh, but it was a lot of fun. But the
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: Baker Baker now five and three good good for them
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: there are. It's cool to see them turning things around.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: And the great thing about them is that, and I've
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: said this before, they've got all five of their starters.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: I mean it's a it's a flip of coin. It's
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: a flip of five headed coin of who's going to
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: be the hot hand that night. And that's what's really
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: cool is that if someone's having an off game, you
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: can rely on somebody else. I mean, Carter Hills, their
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: leading scorer, he didn't even score in that Granite Falls game.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: But Darius Gilstrap had like nineteen points and fifteen rebounds
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: or something like that. He just out of nowhere. And
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: that's what's really cool is that other guys will always
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: step up and play really well and answer. It's a
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: lot of fun to see Bellingham. Bellingham played in that
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: in that tournament out at Meridan, I went and saw
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: them a couple of different times. They lost to over
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Lake fifty seven fifty three. All their games were really
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: really competitive, really really close. They and then they beat
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: Seattle Christian eighty seven to eighty really high scoring game.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: Joe Harward attempted twenty five foul shots in that game.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Damn.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the all time record is at
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: for Bellingham or for Watkin County, but that's a lot
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: of foul shot attempts.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeahs is. You know, I wouldn't say rare, but
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: double digits happens.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: But not a lot, not very often.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: Twenty never happens.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: Twenty five Yeah, I mean think about it. It's only
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: eight minute quarters. It did not go to overtime, and
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: there's there might be a couple of reasons for that.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: The main one I think is he's very very aggressive
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: going to the hoop. You know, he's he plays in
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: the paint like he is. You know, he's only he's
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: attempted like three threes all year. He's going, he's driving
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: and you know, trying to score, and he's a big
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: time volume score. But I think part of it also, too,
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: is that he's struggling on the foul shots and teams
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: might be picking up on that and not like a
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: hack a shack type thing, but they don't feel so
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: bad about fouling him. He's still under fifty percent on
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: the season, but I think that that'll I mean he's
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: attempted I mean over eighty foul shots already this year.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: You know, he's it's it's crazy. So he's getting a
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: lot of practice at it. But in that game where
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: they did that, they did win, then they lost to
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: Bellevue Christian sixty three to sixty. He's just you know,
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: him and King k van Houten are big time, you know,
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: great tandem there. Harmon Winkers is a really good shooter,
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: Mileo Wright, you know, with a you know as a
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: great ball handler, distributor steady, and then they got the
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: van Hoffwaying and brothers that can both shoot it. So
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: it's a really good group that they have played three games,
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: three in three days, and all were very close. So
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: I'm sure they're looking forward to a little little break here.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: Three games, three days, three private schools, three schools that
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: don't have a football team. Wow, yeah, pretty well, that's true.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: That's crazy. Bellev Christian gave up football this year.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's right.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: Let's see here Linden eight and no, Lynden Christian nine
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: and one, Lemon Nation eight and one, and Meridian seven
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: and two. Now, just like the girls side, the Lemon
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: Nation did not play this week, but the other three
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: did get in quite a few games.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Meridian, they took second place at their home Oaching
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Storm Winner Classic. They started this They started the tournament
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: off by beating Seattle Christian sixty seven forty four. I
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: was at that for about the first half of that game,
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: and and it was tied after the first quarter, and
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: then Marinan just kind of pulled away from there. They
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: beat Tanaskt seventy to sixty. Jager five had an in
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: game dunk in that game on a breakaway that was
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: really really cool to see. I think he was like
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: kind of like that was a bucket list thing he
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: wanted to check off. And he finally was able to
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: do that, so that was really cool, and to do
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: it in a win at home, which was pretty cool.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: But then they lost in the championship game to CAMIAKT
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: sixty six fifty four. You know, those two played each
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: other in football this year. I believe like Week four
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: or something like that.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: Camiack played basketball also, Oh yeah, I think Bothell beat
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: him the first game of the year. Maybe nice.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they didn't they didn't have a lot of size.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: But they didn't have a lot of size, but they're
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: really scrappy and they have a lot of guys that
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: can shoot. Yeah, they have one guy that was really
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: really good, like one guy that could run the floor
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: and yeah, and was kind of the catalysts of the team.
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: But as a whole, Yeah, you're right, they didn't have
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: a lot of size, but they just they played good basketball. Yeah,
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: they played fundamental and they just did really really well.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: And and you know, Meridian just they the Camyack had.
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: They came out really good in the third quarter and
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: it was a close game, and then Kamyak came it
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: kind of separated themselves there and and Meridian you know,
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: just couldn't they just ran out of time at that point.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: You know, seven and two. So far this year, Meridian's
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: looking pretty darn good. I don't know if they'll be
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: able to give Lyndon Christian or run for their money,
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: but definitely kind of that that second team in the
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: one A up up here in the Northwest Conference. You know,
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: they got the you know, the two headed monster of
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: Talon Jenkins and Jager Fife is really really hard to stop.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: Both guys in the top five and scoring in the county.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: Lyndon Christian started the week off by losing to Arlington
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: ninety two to ninety unbelievable game. Holy cow Gannon Dyscher
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: went off for thirty six. H Leyton Martin of Arlington
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: had forty five. He is the quarterback too. Yeah, Lennon
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: Christian was up by double digits in the second half
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: and Arlington just came back and hit shots. And what
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: a game, ninety two to ninety That was not a
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: tournament game. That was on Monday night. And then they
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: had to turn around. They go down to Mount Lake
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: Terrace and play in that and that tournament and they
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: beat Mount Lake Terras fifty nine to thirty nine. And
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: then the next day beat Woodinville seventy six to fifty three.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: So the Link's kind of taking out some frustration on
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: some bigger schools there and very very good. It was
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: cool because also they they got Dawson Heinz back this week,
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: so that was a huge boost for them. Just a
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: crazy athlete that can play a great defense, He can
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: really shoot it and his vertical leap is amazing and
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: so you kind of get that already within that really
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: athletic Link team and that's gonna be it's gonna spell
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: doom for a lot of other one A teams. And again,
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: like the girls, you know, you look at the teams
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: that they're playing. I mean they just play played a couple.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: I believe wooden Neills four A correct.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Woodenville's four I think Mount Lake Terrace is three A.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: Right, and Arlington's four A. Now sou So them playing
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: these bigger schools, I mean that's the difference, you know,
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: And they do and they they they do well against them,
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: so come tournament time they will be well tested. And
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: the Linden Boys they go over to the Akamau sum
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: Dome and they beat Grandview forty six forty one and
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: then beat Bonnie Lake at a quick turnaround playing the
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: next morning, uh beating them forty six thirty one. I
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: believe Brent Hepner leading scorer in both games, leading rebounder
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: in both games, that he led an assist in one
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: of the games. He had a dunk against Bonnie Lake.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: He's really on a mission right now. And you know
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: when a kid like that, that's like him, that's the
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: laser focused as he is, it's pretty scary. So you
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: know that it was a great you know, two days
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: for them at the Akamau sun Dome and and they'll
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: be back to around quickly and play against Archbishop Murphy
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: at home tomorrow night and that'll be a fun one
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: kind of the only game in town. So I would
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: advise a lot of people to come out to the
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: Jake pack it out and watch this Linden team. They
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: are phenomenal.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: That is a look around the county. Let's talk stat leaders,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: Tyler and stat Leaders again brought to you by Acceleration
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: Driving School in Lyndon. You can give them a call.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: Three six zero seven four six four five six seven.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: Let's go points per game Tyler.
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Gannon Dykstra twenty four and a half from Lennon Christian.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: Just you know, he's he's the main, he's the ball handler,
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: he's the main just distributor, but he's when he sees
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: an open shot, he will take it. I mean, I
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: think that he's probably attempted about eighty threes so far.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: He will, he will, he will put him up and
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: he makes it. He's he makes a ton of them.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: He can finish at the hoop. Just a great, great player.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: And it's really hard to average twenty and high school
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: and he's been hovering right around like that twenty twenty
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: one mark. But after this week now at twenty four
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: and a half, you know, not it. Usually, you know,
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: maybe one or two kids every year do it, and
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: there's been years where nobody's done it in Walking County,
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: a lot of years. But him to be at twenty
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: four and a half right now and doing against these
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: big schools, that's pretty impressive.
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: Rebounds per game.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we have a tie right now between Caden Veldman
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: of Lennon Christian and King Kate van Hooton of Bellingham,
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: both at ten point three rebounds a game. They're a
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: little different too, because King Kate van Hooton is a
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: lot of them are defensive rebounds, and he's a great
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: transition guy that can handle the ball. Even though he's
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: six foot six, he can get the ball and he
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: can bring it down the court, plays like a guard.
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: So it's really fun to watch. Caiden Veldman gets a
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: ton of offensive rebounds. I mean, he'll get his defensive
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: rebounds as well, but he gets great positioning, extremely strong,
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: good base and good hops too, and so he can
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: get up and get those offensive rebounds. Put the putbacks.
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: You know, he's shooting it around seventy percent from the
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: floor on these high you know, high percentage putbacks and
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: stuff like that. So just a sophomore as well, really
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: excited about his future.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: Kinkaid van Houton, that's all name team right there? Yes
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: it is. Uh, let's go to a sis per game Tyler. Yeah.
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: Jerome Toby Junior from lumin Nation at six point six
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: assists per game. He was leading last week, still does
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: at this point after not playing.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: He's being, he's.
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: He's being He's really close though. Behind him is Ganning
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: Dykstra at six point four, So you know imagine that,
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: you know, it's leading in that he's leading and scoring
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: and he's almost leading in assists as well. Pretty hard
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: to do. I remember a guy named Luke Ridnarra that
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: did it four years in a row.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: Ever heard of him. Uh, let's talk about steels per
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: game with a familiar name here.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Marcus Nixon of Squalicum still at four and a
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: half just and I think last year he was right
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: around there too. I mean, his his his quickness on
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: defense is crazy. He'll either pick your pocket or he'll
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: just or he can play. The passing wanes and it
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: is you know, he's just got a different type of
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: twitch than a lot of other athletes. And you and
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: I have seen it on the football field, and no
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: surprise that he does.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: It on the basketball court as well. We got another
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: tie in the blocks per game.
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Caden Veldman from Lyndon Christian once again and Jack
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: Stapleton from from Linden. Stapleton did not go down to
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: the do not play at the sun Dome this week.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: You know, he's he plays I think he just plays
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: conference games. He's you know, he's battled leg injuries throughout
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: his career and so you know, practice has been is tough.
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: But he's such a great player that when the game
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: is needed, and it's a conference game, he will be
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: out there. But uh man, he's just he is one
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: heck of a player at six foot six and can
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: jump out of the gym, and he's got great timing
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: and and he's he'll throw a few down too as well.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: How about field or percentage?
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Brady Ackerman is starting to miss now, so he's
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: a eighty one and a half percent. He did not
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: play this past week, so he's still holding on to
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: that right now, nursing a little bit of a hamstring.
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: But he'll be.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: Back once the new year hits, and he'll be he'll
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: be ready to go. And and he's just so good
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: at getting inside position. He's you know, feathery soft inside
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: too with his touch, knows how to use the backboard.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: He can hit a fifteen foot jumper as well. But
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: you know, but he's he's just so strong and it's
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: hard to get him off his block once he's once
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: he's got his his positioning and he's got some good
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: moves either way. Caden Veldman's right behind him though, he's
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: really really close. So it's gonna be a good battle
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: between these two, especially when Ackerman comes back and because
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: that you're not going to stay eighty one and a
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: half percent for the year. So, uh, that that's gonna
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: be a good matchup the rest of the year. You're
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: challenging him, No, I'm challenging Brady Ackerman. Yes, that's really wise, all.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: Right, Tyler who leads from way Downtown.
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Dawson Heinz hasn't played much but does have enough
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: to qualify. So I started playing this this week. But
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: he's been jacking him up, and he's been making him
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: forty three point eight percent, the sophomore from from Lynny Christian.
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm not surprised. Uh, he's just a great,
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: great shooter. Tallon Jenkins has been sitting at around forty
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: five percent, but this that in that championship game against Camiak,
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: he just had an off night. He was zero for
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: seven from beyond the arc. So he moved down to
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: around forty one percent or so. So Dawson heins holds
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: that holds that high percentage.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: Now, how about free throw percentage? Who's the young Jeff
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: Horniseck I'm looking at here.
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: It's a Jonah Prolowski who would tower over Jeff HORNI
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: sack the Ferndale center, really good touch. I mean, you know,
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: ninety and a half percent. They did not play this
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: past week, so he's still holding on to that. But
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: it's so funny because I am putting these numbers out
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: there on social media and stuff like that, so to
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: a point to where I almost feel like if I'm
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: at a game and they're shooting a free throw, I
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: feel like I'm putting pressure on them, like are you
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: gonna make this? Are you gonna keep your percentage? Are
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: you still going to be in the top five? Are
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: you still gonna be on that graphic? I just I
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: feel horrible. But I know there with a notepad like
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: mark him down one here right right. But if the
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: guy's shooting ninety percent from the foul line, I would
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: imagine he's got pretty good focus and he doesn't even
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: know him there. So that's that's what I tend to believe,
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: and hopefully that's the.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: Case, especially as tall as he is, I mean looking down. Yeah. Yeah.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: Those are the stat leaders again, brought to you by
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: Acceleration Driving School in Linden. That is boys and Girls Basketball. Tyler.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: Let's talk Players of the Week, which is sponsored by
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: any Time Fitness and Linden Linden North and Ferndale, And
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: we will start with the girls side, Tyler who is
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: the Anytime Fitness Girls Basketball Player of the week.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: Well, I rarely do this, but someone's going back to
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: back here Parcher from Lyndon. I just can't. I can't
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: look past what she did in that tournament, scoring thirty
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: in the first game, forty in the second, and then
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: eighteen in the set in the third one, and just
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: her overall ability to do so many different things. She
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: can really shoot it. She's great from the foul line,
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: she's you know, plays great, good defense. She gets a
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: ton of rebounds too, gets your teammates involved. So not
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: surprised Finley Parcher from Lyndon does it again. It's gonna
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: make it really easy for me on the graphic because
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: I don't have to really change anything. I just got
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: to change the number.
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: Of the week.
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: But uh yeah, Finley Partser from Linden sophomore, she us
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: your Anytime Fitness Girls Basketball Player of the Week.
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: On the boys side, who is the any Time FITNAS
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: Boys basketball Player of the week.
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Gannon Dykstra, the senior from Lyndon Christian had an
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: amazing week. They did lose that one game, but it
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: wasn't his fault. You know. He put up thirty six
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: in that one, and he just continues to put up
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: these big time numbers and he's shooting at a better
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: percentage than he was earlier in the year, so he's
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: only getting better. I was kind of talking about that
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: a few weeks ago. You might remember where I was saying, like,
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: you know, the only downside of his game so far
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: is that there's the three point percentage has not been great.
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: You know, he's sitting at the low twenties, and I
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: was like, the crazy thing is is that that will
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: go up. He's too good of a shooter, and it
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: has now now he's in the low thirties. So as
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: that goes up, everything else starts to rise as well.
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: And he's really separating himself from a lot of players
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: up here. Ganan Dyke Show the Senior from Linden Christian
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: is your Anytime Fitness Boys Basketball Player of the Week.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: That is the Players of the Week again brought to
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: you by Anytime Fitness and Linden, Linden North and Ferndale Tyler.
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: Let's wrap it up with some intriguing games this week
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: and mentioned before there's not a whole lot going on,
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: but there is one thing you are really looking forward to.
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well other than resting, Yeah, there is Saturday. Mount
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: Baker's hosting a doubleheader girls boys, Meridian and Mount Baker.
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: And what I love about these is that when when
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: you look at the girls side, you know, you know,
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: Lenny Christian's got a good stronghold on that. But you know,
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: there will bring two teams to State and Nukseac Valley
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: is dropped off a little bit. Meridian has gone up
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: a little bit. But Mount Baker, now with the addition
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: to Rebecca Sores, is kind of a wild card that
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: you know, she can do a lot of things, and uh,
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: I'm you know, you there could be some upsets here
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: and there just because of her presence, and so I'm
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: really curious how she will do against this Meridian team.
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: You know, Baker Seahome played do it. It was a
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: three point game when Meridian and Sea Home played. I
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: think that went into overtime. So this could be a
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: huge game for Mount Baker. Of course it is for
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: Meridian as well. And then in the boys game, I
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: mean you would look at it and say, well, Meridian's
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: got the upper hand. They beat him by you know,
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: twenty five or thirty every year. Well it's different this year. Yes,
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: Meridian is still very good. They did lose a game
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: to see home who Mount Baker beat by like twenty
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: So you know, you just never know.
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: And the you know, the.
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: Deming dome out there, it's it's a you it's a
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: unique place to play because the shooting backdrop is you know,
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: thirty feet behind the back the backboard. It's just different.
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: You know, it's shaped in a big dome. It's not
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: the wall like you know, six feet off from the
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: from the baseline. It's it's it's a little different if
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: you're not used to it. So you just never know
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: what's gonna happen. I think that's I think they're gonna
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: both gonna be great, great games. I'm really excited for it.
