- 0:35Speaker 3: I think through eight weeks now of the Winter Sports
- 0:39Speaker 3: and it's just it just flies by.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Before you know it.
- 0:42Speaker 3: We're gonna be looking at tournaments and postseason and all
- 0:47Speaker 3: that stuff. And it's crazy when you start looking at,
- 0:51Speaker 3: you know, some of these records of these teams and
- 0:53Speaker 3: how many games have been played, how many meets there's been.
- 0:55Speaker 3: It's it's, uh, it just good. I know it sounds
- 1:00Speaker 3: and everything, but it goes really fast every single year.
- 1:02Speaker 3: It seems like it goes faster and faster the older
- 1:04Speaker 3: you get.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Yeah. I think we talked about it in football season
- 1:07Speaker 2: where all of a sudden it was like oh wow,
- 1:08Speaker 2: Week eleven that kind of came out of nowhere. Yeah,
- 1:12Speaker 2: just yesterday we were releasing the team previews, you know,
- 1:15Speaker 2: but right right, hey, we need to give a thank
- 1:18Speaker 2: you to Hayden Nelson, Squalicum junior swimmer. It's almost like
- 1:21Speaker 2: we asked for that one, Tyler, and they made it
- 1:25Speaker 2: happen over there at Squalicum. Big fans of the podcast,
- 1:28Speaker 2: that swimming program over there, Tyler. It's getting fall over
- 1:34Speaker 2: there in the spring. In terms of sponsorships, there's still
- 1:38Speaker 2: a few things left here in in the what do
- 1:42Speaker 2: you call it in the winter season, and we even
- 1:45Speaker 2: have a new one that we'll talk about here when
- 1:47Speaker 2: we get to girls basketball. But how does somebody get
- 1:50Speaker 2: a hold of you if sponsorship is something they're thinking about?
- 1:53Speaker 3: Oh, the best way is to locate me on social media,
- 1:56Speaker 3: send a message, search for walk and preps, send the
- 1:59Speaker 3: message that and we can get the ball rolling. As
- 2:02Speaker 3: of now, for the spring season, golf and boys and
- 2:08Speaker 3: girls golf as well as girls tennis are open. Uh,
- 2:12Speaker 3: there's going to be recaps, especially the tennis one. There's
- 2:16Speaker 3: there's daily recaps probably three sometimes four days a week.
- 2:20Speaker 3: So that's a pretty that's pretty high one with a
- 2:23Speaker 3: lot of eyeballs and and uh, you know, golf tournaments
- 2:26Speaker 3: there's one or two of those a week, so be
- 2:29Speaker 3: posting about those as well, and you can jump on
- 2:31Speaker 3: those and and uh, you know, get your brand out there,
- 2:35Speaker 3: get your name out there, and and support youth sports.
- 2:37Speaker 3: So so yeah, there's all sorts of things and and
- 2:42Speaker 3: uh and if you have kind and you might have
- 2:44Speaker 3: an idea of something new that you'd want to sponsor,
- 2:47Speaker 3: you might say, hey, uh, what if you did this,
- 2:49Speaker 3: I would sponsor it if you did this, you know,
- 2:51Speaker 3: something like that. And there's always there's always ideas. I'm
- 2:54Speaker 3: not the most creative person in the world, so you know,
- 2:57Speaker 3: you might you might have a creative thought that that
- 3:00Speaker 3: might work out perfect for walking preps and I'd love
- 3:03Speaker 3: to hear it. So so yeah, so just reach out
- 3:06Speaker 3: and get a hold of me and get the ball
- 3:08Speaker 3: rolling from there.
- 3:09Speaker 2: You know. The The thing too, with like tennis, is
- 3:11Speaker 2: some some weeks there might only be you know, one
- 3:14Speaker 2: one day of games scheduled, you know, maybe four matches
- 3:18Speaker 2: on a on a Tuesday that rain comes in and
- 3:21Speaker 2: also it becomes a Tuesday, a Wednesday, a Thursday, a Friday,
- 3:24Speaker 2: and maybe even some Saturday stuff. You know. So tennis
- 3:28Speaker 2: is one that has really grown too. You know, the
- 3:31Speaker 2: the community you know, the tennis community specifically, they love it,
- 3:36Speaker 2: you know, and oh they love the coverage. It's very
- 3:38Speaker 2: much like like soccer, right, like we didn't really know
- 3:41Speaker 2: what was gonna come of it, and all of a sudden,
- 3:43Speaker 2: it's like you start posting stuff and people are just
- 3:44Speaker 2: going nuts for it.
- 3:45Speaker 3: You know. You get a whole new wave of people
- 3:47Speaker 3: that are learning about the site, and and I'm learning
- 3:51Speaker 3: about the sports. And it's really cool because and that's
- 3:55Speaker 3: what's fun about tennis and soccer too, is that it's good.
- 3:58Speaker 3: It's I can get good pictures those because it's in
- 4:01Speaker 3: the daylight, and and I love going out there and
- 4:04Speaker 3: getting pictures. And and the kids, because they're not in
- 4:08Speaker 3: the limelight with these major sports, they love seeing me
- 4:11Speaker 3: and so they get excited about it. It makes me
- 4:15Speaker 3: feel good and it just kind of keeps the whole
- 4:17Speaker 3: the momentum of everything moving all the time. And and
- 4:21Speaker 3: and that's another thing that's great about tennis too, is
- 4:23Speaker 3: that you know, they'll have their events will start at
- 4:27Speaker 3: like three o'clock or something like that, so in the
- 4:29Speaker 3: in the spring, I can go out there get pictures
- 4:31Speaker 3: of a tennis match run out to attract me, get
- 4:34Speaker 3: some pictures, go to a fast pitch game, takes some pictures,
- 4:37Speaker 3: go to a baseball game, take some pictures, and then
- 4:38Speaker 3: come home, you know, or a soccer game, you know,
- 4:41Speaker 3: somewhere boys soccer. I mean, it's hilarious, how I'm just
- 4:45Speaker 3: jumping from thing to thing, the thing just jumping around
- 4:47Speaker 3: and and uh, you know, it's I'm always on the
- 4:50Speaker 3: move in the in the spring. But it's very It's
- 4:55Speaker 3: not chaotic though, It's like controlled chaos, you know. It's
- 4:58Speaker 3: it's really fun.
- 5:00Speaker 2: The uh, these sports that don't really get a lot
- 5:02Speaker 2: of coverage, Tyler. The first couple of times you get
- 5:03Speaker 2: out there, before they get to know who you are,
- 5:05Speaker 2: they're they're going, who's that guy over there? Dressed like
- 5:07Speaker 2: a traffic cone? What's going on with that over there?
- 5:09Speaker 3: Then you're right, yeah, you know, parents, the parents think that, Yeah,
- 5:12Speaker 3: kids love it because.
- 5:13Speaker 2: It starts to get a little darker and all of
- 5:15Speaker 2: a sudden, they're like, who's this guy trying to put
- 5:16Speaker 2: the son out of business? What's going on with this
- 5:18Speaker 2: guy over here? You know exactly, you know, Tyler. What
- 5:20Speaker 2: we need to do too, is I'm thinking about this.
- 5:23Speaker 2: We need to get a sponsorship from like a Payton
- 5:26Speaker 2: Auto Body place and have him just paint your car
- 5:28Speaker 2: like bright orange.
- 5:30Speaker 3: Yeah that's what I need.
- 5:32Speaker 2: I think you do, it'll look like you're going faster
- 5:34Speaker 2: than you are.
- 5:34Speaker 3: You know, well, I'm looking to try to probably get
- 5:37Speaker 3: a sponsorship with a car dealership because you know, I'm
- 5:40Speaker 3: pushing one hundred and fifty thousand miles and I bought
- 5:42Speaker 3: the car brand new thirteen years ago. So I don't know,
- 5:46Speaker 3: that's nothing where I'm at with that, you know, I know, yeah, with.
- 5:50Speaker 2: You Yeah, I was at like two eighty five on
- 5:52Speaker 2: then when my last car went out.
- 5:54Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I was around that too when I had
- 5:57Speaker 3: my eighty nine Toyota Camry. But that then it was
- 5:59Speaker 3: set on fire. And and that was just a random arson,
- 6:03Speaker 3: random arson, wow. And that yeah, that was it was
- 6:07Speaker 3: a week after I started it, totally chocolate and and
- 6:11Speaker 3: so that was a long long time ago.
- 6:13Speaker 2: And somebody got white chocolate when they asked for for
- 6:15Speaker 2: milk chocolate. And you know what, I'm gonna set the
- 6:18Speaker 2: guy's car on fire.
- 6:19Speaker 3: And the thing I felt the worst about was that
- 6:22Speaker 3: my badge to get into work was all charred because
- 6:25Speaker 3: it was it was hanging on my my rear view
- 6:27Speaker 3: mirror or my yeah, and uh and they were like,
- 6:30Speaker 3: you know, protect this, make sure it doesn't get damaged
- 6:32Speaker 3: by bah blah. And I was so scared to show
- 6:34Speaker 3: up with it all charred, and they were like, it's okay,
- 6:37Speaker 3: someone set your car on fire. Don't worry about it.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds like something you'd worry about though, Yeah,
- 6:42Speaker 2: it really really does. But yeah, anyway, if you own
- 6:45Speaker 2: a business, and I mean even if you are just thinking,
- 6:49Speaker 2: you know what, I wonder what it costs, just reach
- 6:51Speaker 2: out to Tyler. I mean, maybe maybe you end up
- 6:54Speaker 2: not getting a sponsorship this time around, but you know,
- 6:56Speaker 2: you have a general idea of how it works and
- 7:00Speaker 2: the future, maybe you get something. There's a lot of
- 7:01Speaker 2: stuff to go in the fall, so plenty of things
- 7:04Speaker 2: a sponsor. I mean, there's even, like I said, it's
- 7:07Speaker 2: getting packed a little tight now in the spring. But
- 7:09Speaker 2: doesn't mean you can't sponsor a specific school or just
- 7:13Speaker 2: a sport in general, you know, or heck, just put
- 7:15Speaker 2: it up on the on the website, you know. I was,
- 7:19Speaker 2: I was on there the other day and I saw
- 7:20Speaker 2: a bunch of them.
- 7:21Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. And if I you know, one of the
- 7:24Speaker 3: things that I've jumped on recently is doing standings and
- 7:28Speaker 3: if I can have a standings page that shows all
- 7:30Speaker 3: the sports standings, like, that's something that a lot of
- 7:33Speaker 3: people go to, and that could be something that's sponsored.
- 7:35Speaker 3: So there's, like I said, there's always things that can
- 7:37Speaker 3: happen that maybe I'm just not thinking of. And you know,
- 7:40Speaker 3: if you have a creative mind, you come at me
- 7:43Speaker 3: with some stuff, then we can work on it.
- 7:45Speaker 2: Yeah. I'll just reach out to Tyler. He'll get you
- 7:47Speaker 2: taken care of. Tyler. We've got wrestling, We've got swimming,
- 7:51Speaker 2: we've got basketball. We have a lot of stuff to
- 7:53Speaker 2: talk about here. So let's not waste any time. Let's
- 7:56Speaker 2: get right into it, and we will start with boys wrestling.
- 7:59Speaker 2: On Tuesday night, Blaine defeated Mount Baker. We don't have
- 8:03Speaker 2: a score for that one, but we know that the
- 8:05Speaker 2: Border Rights did beat the Mountaineers. And Tyler, you told
- 8:08Speaker 2: me off the air, this is a kind of an
- 8:10Speaker 2: important match here.
- 8:12Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's classically over the years this has
- 8:14Speaker 3: been for the conference championship. There's been a few teams
- 8:17Speaker 3: that have jumped in and out of that. But but
- 8:20Speaker 3: all I know is that Blaine beat Mount Baker, and
- 8:23Speaker 3: kudos to them, because I know Mount Baker is still pretty,
- 8:28Speaker 3: you know, heavily regarded, but Blaine is always right there.
- 8:31Speaker 3: And I think the thing about the Border rights is numbers.
- 8:34Speaker 3: You know, they can fill all the weight classes and
- 8:36Speaker 3: they've they don't have to really worry about that. I
- 8:39Speaker 3: know that something Baker had been struggling with recently was
- 8:42Speaker 3: they have the quality, they just haven't had the quantity.
- 8:47Speaker 3: And sounds like Blaine is kind of having both of
- 8:50Speaker 3: those right now, so good good for them.
- 8:53Speaker 2: Wednesday night, Tyler, I see four matches that went on here.
- 8:56Speaker 2: What do you got about those?
- 8:57Speaker 3: Yeah, Meridian beat Nuksack Valley forty two to thirty seven.
- 9:02Speaker 3: There's a couple of programs there. They're kind of on
- 9:04Speaker 3: the rise. They used to. I mean I'd go out
- 9:05Speaker 3: to meets and they'd have like six wrestlers each, you know,
- 9:08Speaker 3: and it's just, hey, there gonna be a match anywhere here.
- 9:12Speaker 3: So that's good to see. Squal And beat Lake With
- 9:14Speaker 3: forty five to thirty, Oak Harbor beat Ferndale fifty to
- 9:17Speaker 3: twenty seven, and Lynden just edged out Seahome thirty six
- 9:21Speaker 3: to thirty one.
- 9:23Speaker 2: A couple of tournaments over the weekend. On Saturday, the
- 9:26Speaker 2: Jaguar Invitational at emerald Ridge High School. Just one team
- 9:30Speaker 2: from the county down there and it was Squalcum. White
- 9:33Speaker 2: River finished first, emerald Ridge second, ording third. Squalcomb comes
- 9:38Speaker 2: in at twelfth place. Tyler, only one placer from the Storm.
- 9:42Speaker 3: Yeah, Simeon Blast at one hundred and sixty five pounds
- 9:45Speaker 3: took third place. And yeah, I think there was, you know,
- 9:48Speaker 3: close to twenty schools there, so pretty big tournament.
- 9:51Speaker 2: The Linden Invitational took place and Mount Baker finishes third.
- 9:56Speaker 2: Lake Stevens takes the overall team championship, followed by Gley Peak.
- 10:01Speaker 2: We don't have any information on any other teams other
- 10:04Speaker 2: than Mount Baker because it's nowhere to be found. So
- 10:08Speaker 2: this is another one of those examples of where we
- 10:11Speaker 2: I'm sure there was somebody that has final results and
- 10:13Speaker 2: if they could have just emailed them on over we
- 10:15Speaker 2: could give you guys all the information on that, but
- 10:18Speaker 2: we don't have that. So Tyler, give me the give
- 10:22Speaker 2: me the guys that placed from Mount Baker.
- 10:25Speaker 3: Yeah, those are the results that we know. We know
- 10:28Speaker 3: Lennon was there. Obviously they hosted in some other Walkam
- 10:30Speaker 3: County schools were there, but Dylan Moa took first place,
- 10:33Speaker 3: Isaac DA Creek and Gavin Coompton each took second place,
- 10:37Speaker 3: Wyatt Freeman and Andrew Monteith took third place, Gunner McGrath
- 10:41Speaker 3: got fourth place, and Joe Jordan took sixth place.
- 10:45Speaker 2: The Matt Animal Invitational, which by the way, is an
- 10:48Speaker 2: awesome name, took place over at Quincy High School. This
- 10:53Speaker 2: had to have been an unbelievably tough tournament because Blaine
- 10:57Speaker 2: finishes fifteenth with seventy five points. Wapatou Is the winners
- 11:01Speaker 2: with two forty one Othello second two twenty two and
- 11:04Speaker 2: a half and Zilla third at one fifty one and
- 11:07Speaker 2: a half. I mean that is a unbelievably huge difference
- 11:12Speaker 2: between first and third. Uh. And then, as I mentioned,
- 11:15Speaker 2: Blaine finishes fifteenth with seventy five points. Two placers from
- 11:18Speaker 2: the Border rights Tyler.
- 11:19Speaker 3: Yeah, and that tells you something right there too. Only
- 11:22Speaker 3: two placers complain, so Reyes Milligan at one hundred and
- 11:26Speaker 3: seventy five pounds took third place and Auto Shelton at
- 11:31Speaker 3: two hundred and eighty five pounds took fourth place. And
- 11:33Speaker 3: I got a quick question for you. Wapaitau. What size
- 11:37Speaker 3: school is that?
- 11:39Speaker 2: Wapatau High School? Yeah? Yeah, I mean, like what do
- 11:41Speaker 2: you mean.
- 11:42Speaker 3: Like, are they one A or oh, Wapaitau would be
- 11:45Speaker 3: I believe one A.
- 11:46Speaker 2: They're either one ay or two akay.
- 11:48Speaker 3: I was I thought maybe one A. But and that
- 11:51Speaker 3: tells me a lot because you know, you're thinking zilla's
- 11:54Speaker 3: one A. So you're looking at state here, Yeah, there's
- 11:58Speaker 3: gonna be some one A gonna be pretty packed.
- 12:01Speaker 2: Yeah, oh no, definitely a lot of those tournaments over
- 12:03Speaker 2: there in the central part of the state end up
- 12:05Speaker 2: with mostly one a's and two a's because that's a
- 12:09Speaker 2: lot of what they have over there, you know. But yeah,
- 12:12Speaker 2: that's that sounds like a real a real good one. Uh.
- 12:15Speaker 2: Wapato High School, Tyler, Do you stay about five minutes
- 12:18Speaker 2: from it when you're in Yakama. It's kind of like
- 12:20Speaker 2: the it's kind of like the next exit down the line.
- 12:23Speaker 2: And their football field is Doctor Dan Dorningfield.
- 12:26Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.
- 12:27Speaker 2: Yes, Wapato Wolves very very good and a couple of sports.
- 12:33Speaker 2: I believe it's soccer and obviously wrestling. Other than that,
- 12:38Speaker 2: they've really struggled with football for the last well while
- 12:41Speaker 2: let's just say it that way. That's it for boys wrestling.
- 12:45Speaker 2: Let's talk girls wrestling, Tyler. And on Wednesday night there
- 12:49Speaker 2: were a couple of matches within the county.
- 12:52Speaker 3: Yeah, Mount Vernon defeated Squalam fifty four four and Meridian
- 12:57Speaker 3: took care of Linden's sixty nine to six.
- 13:00Speaker 2: On Thursday, Mount Baker defeated Ferndale sixty six to forty eight.
- 13:05Speaker 2: There were a few tournaments over the weekend on the
- 13:07Speaker 2: girls side as well. Othello Ladies Lady Huskies tournament took
- 13:13Speaker 2: place and Top iti Ish comes away the winner there
- 13:16Speaker 2: with two hundred and thirty eight points. That is a
- 13:19Speaker 2: lot of points. Sunnyside places second with one to eighty
- 13:23Speaker 2: six and a half. Granger the Spartans third one hundred
- 13:27Speaker 2: and eighty two points. Blaine finish his twentieth with seventy
- 13:29Speaker 2: three and Squalcum finishes thirty eighth with forty four. Which
- 13:33Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, if they got all the way
- 13:36Speaker 2: to thirty eighth and that team had forty four points,
- 13:39Speaker 2: there must have been a stinking ton of teams at
- 13:41Speaker 2: this tournament.
- 13:42Speaker 3: Yeah, there's been some big tournaments.
- 13:44Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean thirty eighth and forty four points. I mean,
- 13:48Speaker 2: you don't get forty four points and finished thirty eighth
- 13:50Speaker 2: and not have the be like sixty teams or something.
- 13:52Speaker 2: I don't even know, but two placers from the county
- 13:55Speaker 2: in this one, Tyler.
- 13:56Speaker 3: Yeah, Claire Hume of Squalcum, she's had a great year.
- 13:58Speaker 3: We've said her name quite a bit. At one hundred
- 14:01Speaker 3: and thirty pounds, she took a fourth place. And how
- 14:03Speaker 3: about this an Alicia or Doniez of Blaine took first
- 14:06Speaker 3: place at one hundred and fifty five pounds.
- 14:08Speaker 2: That's awesome. Yeah, such a big, tough tournament that that was, right,

- 18:10Speaker 2: if the doc can find it. Yeah, Tyler, we've got
- 18:13Speaker 2: uh what do we got here? We got one new
- 18:16Speaker 2: set of time with a new group, and then we've
- 18:19Speaker 2: got one beating their time. Uh. So we will start
- 18:23Speaker 2: with the two hundred freestyle relay where we got a
- 18:25Speaker 2: whole new set here.
- 18:27Speaker 3: Well, we could start with the standings with the team.
- 18:31Speaker 3: The team standings. We haven't talked about that yet.
- 18:33Speaker 2: And we can do that too. Let's go at the times.
- 18:36Speaker 3: Okay, So the new the new times the two hundred
- 18:39Speaker 3: freestyle relay. It's the guy that gave us the intro,
- 18:41Speaker 3: Hayden Nelson, along with Finn Smith, Michael Ciotti and Mack
- 18:45Speaker 3: Hofstett of Squalicum have a new time of one minute
- 18:49Speaker 3: forty point five four seconds. Now it was it was
- 18:52Speaker 3: a Squalicum team that had the old time, but the
- 18:56Speaker 3: new a new placement of Mac Hofstet in there at
- 18:58Speaker 3: the end. So it's to me that's a whole new team.
- 19:01Speaker 2: Yeah, and we've got now Hayden Smith, let's see still
- 19:05Speaker 2: at five I think it was five last week in
- 19:07Speaker 2: terms of how many or Hayden Nelson there how many different.
- 19:14Speaker 3: Top times?
- 19:15Speaker 2: Yeah, top times. I mean, you know, before it's all
- 19:17Speaker 2: said and done, might even take the top time in
- 19:19Speaker 2: one meter diving. I mean it doesn't have a time,
- 19:21Speaker 2: but it might take it. We also have a new
- 19:24Speaker 2: time in the one hundred breastroke.
- 19:27Speaker 3: Yeah, it's Cohen Matthew from Seahome. We know him from
- 19:30Speaker 3: from the playing defensive end on the football team. One
- 19:33Speaker 3: minute and nine point twenty five seconds. Again that it's
- 19:36Speaker 3: about six three, one hundred and seventy five and eighty pounds,
- 19:39Speaker 3: So you got that long, lean swimmer's body that can
- 19:43Speaker 3: really help out in swimming, especially at the high school level.
- 19:46Speaker 2: I love that. I love when when when people are good,
- 19:49Speaker 2: you know, high school kids are good at multiple things,
- 19:51Speaker 2: and especially like i mean, how do you say it,
- 19:53Speaker 2: like the unconventional ones where it's like, yeah, Bran Hepner
- 19:56Speaker 2: the starting quarterback and the best basketball player. You know,
- 19:58Speaker 2: like that makes sense, you know, yeah, you know, but
- 20:00Speaker 2: then here we are with, you know, a good player
- 20:03Speaker 2: on the football team, and then all of a sudden, boom,
- 20:05Speaker 2: the best hundred breastroke time in the County, Like, what
- 20:07Speaker 2: is going on there? No, you don't hear that one
- 20:09Speaker 2: too often, but.
- 20:10Speaker 3: No, you sure don't. You sure don't. And that's and
- 20:13Speaker 3: it's that's what's so cool is I start seeing these
- 20:15Speaker 3: names everyone. Well, it happens with tennis too, where I'll
- 20:18Speaker 3: be I'll see a name, I'm like, WHOA Like, I
- 20:20Speaker 3: know that name from soccer or from football or whatever.
- 20:24Speaker 3: You know. It's so it's yeah, it's pretty cool.
- 20:27Speaker 2: Basically, what was it? Was it? Last year there was
- 20:29Speaker 2: a kid from Anna Chortus that was like in state
- 20:32Speaker 2: for baseball and tennis or something.
- 20:35Speaker 3: Yes, and that it's a set of brothers, so I
- 20:37Speaker 3: don't know which one it was. The last name was
- 20:39Speaker 3: van egdam And and he was and then he had
- 20:43Speaker 3: to make a decision because state was the same time
- 20:46Speaker 3: for both and and of course it's it's a fall sport,
- 20:51Speaker 3: but you compete at state in the spring for tennis.
- 20:54Speaker 3: So and he was played on the baseball team for
- 20:57Speaker 3: rant Chordas and he was on the doubles team. The
- 21:00Speaker 3: doubles his doubles team went to state for two a
- 21:03Speaker 3: for tennis. So I believe he competed in tennis. And
- 21:07Speaker 3: I think he's a senior this year, and I don't know,
- 21:11Speaker 3: you know, I can't remember if they how he did
- 21:13Speaker 3: in the fall, if his team got the state again
- 21:16Speaker 3: or what. But that was pretty incredible. It's just something
- 21:19Speaker 3: that you don't see very often.
- 21:21Speaker 2: Yeah, that was that was wild. I can't even remember
- 21:24Speaker 2: a time where it was like, oh, wait a minute,
- 21:27Speaker 2: this guy's gonna have to pick and choose, like I
- 21:29Speaker 2: actually don't remember that being the thing, you know what
- 21:31Speaker 2: I mean, But obviously it can happen because you've got
- 21:35Speaker 2: is that the only sport or is it also like
- 21:37Speaker 2: does cross country go in the in the spring? No?
- 21:40Speaker 3: No, no, cross country they could be at state in
- 21:42Speaker 3: the fall, and so it's just tennis that tennis is
- 21:46Speaker 3: the only one that I can think that I know
- 21:47Speaker 3: of anyways. Yeah, golf doesn't do it right, right right, Yeah,
- 21:52Speaker 3: So it's I wonder why they yeah, because.
- 21:56Speaker 2: It's not like they do it outdoors, you know what
- 21:58Speaker 2: I mean.
- 21:58Speaker 3: And they used to do I mean, I think they've
- 22:01Speaker 3: done tennis in this like boys tennis in the spring
- 22:04Speaker 3: in the past, and boys soccer used to used to
- 22:07Speaker 3: be in the fall. Like things have changed a little bit,
- 22:10Speaker 3: I mean over the years and you know back in
- 22:12Speaker 3: the day, I remember boys soccer was in the fall. Yeah,
- 22:15Speaker 3: I mean I remember. I remember it was a boy
- 22:17Speaker 3: like we didn't even have girls soccer at Baker. It
- 22:20Speaker 3: was boys and girls on the same team when I
- 22:21Speaker 3: was in school.
- 22:22Speaker 2: Well, and isn't it I want to say, is it
- 22:25Speaker 2: one bee where they do soccer in the fall or
- 22:28Speaker 2: something like that, or like I think there's one or
- 22:34Speaker 2: what would it be? So is it the boys that
- 22:35Speaker 2: are in the fall or the girls for soccer soccer
- 22:39Speaker 2: as the girls ball? It's the girls, Okay, So then
- 22:42Speaker 2: I think there was like I want to say, like
- 22:44Speaker 2: maybe one bee boys go in the fall or something.
- 22:46Speaker 2: I can't remember exactly. There's something something weird. There's like
- 22:49Speaker 2: one sport where they do it differently. I just can't
- 22:53Speaker 2: remember which which sport it is. But uh, the standing
- 22:56Speaker 2: syler Sea home they are still on top six. Oh
- 22:58Speaker 2: and the weird one the one tie that they had
- 23:01Speaker 2: or draw. I mean, I guess we don't even know
- 23:03Speaker 2: what they call it swim and dive because it doesn't
- 23:04Speaker 2: happen very often. Squallal them they're right behind six and
- 23:08Speaker 2: one Bellingham They are five and three Ferndale four and
- 23:11Speaker 2: five and Linden two and seven on the season. Uh
- 23:16Speaker 2: that is Boys Swim and Dive Again, brought to you
- 23:18Speaker 2: by Staffer Insurance in Lindon three six zero seven four
- 23:22Speaker 2: six eighty eight oh three. We thank them for their
- 23:26Speaker 2: continued support of watcom preps. Tyler, let's talk girls basketball.

- 23:36Speaker 2: to you by Edelin Dry from satisfied cows the satisfied customers.
- 23:40Speaker 2: If I ever turn that around, sometimes they'd be really

- 23:48Speaker 2: e d A L E E N Dairy dot com.
- 23:51Speaker 2: I would imagine that pretty much anybody listening to this
- 23:54Speaker 2: they know Edelin Darry. I mean, I just I think
- 23:56Speaker 2: so maybe there's like a couple people like Grandma or
- 23:59Speaker 2: Grandpa that are down in like you know, Arizona, that
- 24:01Speaker 2: are I mean, honestly, they're probably from Wakam County too,
- 24:04Speaker 2: so they're probably like, oh, I remember back in the
- 24:06Speaker 2: day having some butter scotched. You know, I'd be willing
- 24:09Speaker 2: to bet at least ninety nine percent people do. We
- 24:13Speaker 2: also have a new sponsor for girls basketball, Tyler, they
- 24:16Speaker 2: are sponsoring the daily Recaps. It finally came to fruition
- 24:20Speaker 2: Vance Custom Cards. You can find them online at www

- 24:42Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 24:43Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just hilarious. I mean, that's awesome. That's awesome.
- 24:46Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not gonna lie. I went through their
- 24:48Speaker 2: website and I got some ideas. Let me put it
- 24:52Speaker 2: to you that way.
- 24:52Speaker 3: I know I do too. I love and it was
- 24:54Speaker 3: funny because I love the old school stuff like the
- 24:57Speaker 3: eighty six tops. Yes, because they can have those things.
- 25:00Speaker 3: And and he starts laughing because you know, we went
- 25:04Speaker 3: out to lunch on Monday and kind of went through
- 25:06Speaker 3: everything and he goes, he goes, all the parents love that,
- 25:09Speaker 3: and all the kids love the new stuff. You know,
- 25:11Speaker 3: it's just so funny. How yeah, right, and so but yeah,
- 25:16Speaker 3: I mean, I think we're gonna have lots of ideas
- 25:19Speaker 3: and a lot of fun things in the future. It's
- 25:21Speaker 3: a great partnership. It's a local business. It's a passion thing.
- 25:25Speaker 3: Just kind of like walk the preps and so, uh,
- 25:28Speaker 3: you know, go check it out. It's some really really
- 25:30Speaker 3: cool things, uh that that that they do. They talked about,
- 25:34Speaker 3: you know, how how they make them, Like they they
- 25:37Speaker 3: have like the big time huge custom printer and and
- 25:41Speaker 3: they make their own and then they got to like
- 25:43Speaker 3: cut them just specific and do it just right and
- 25:46Speaker 3: and it's really interesting. It's really really cool, and I
- 25:49Speaker 3: hopefully it'll get to the point where there'll be packs
- 25:52Speaker 3: of cards to sell it games or whatever. And you
- 25:54Speaker 3: don't know what you're gonna get for right now. It's
- 25:55Speaker 3: you know, you order something specific that you want, they'll
- 25:58Speaker 3: make it man, and then you know, eventually it could
- 26:02Speaker 3: be you know, you get certain guys to you know,
- 26:04Speaker 3: to autograph some cards or whatever. And yeah, there's just
- 26:09Speaker 3: lots of fun ideas. It's something that I've been wanting
- 26:13Speaker 3: to do for a long time, but he's already doing
- 26:17Speaker 3: it and so to it's a it's an obvious partnership
- 26:20Speaker 3: and I think that with so many kids, and it
- 26:22Speaker 3: could be for all sports too, And that's what's really cool.
- 26:25Speaker 3: There's there's lots of kids that listen and that can
- 26:27Speaker 3: collect cards, and it's kind of that business that's starting
- 26:30Speaker 3: to boom again, and uh yeah, it'd be a fun
- 26:33Speaker 3: thing to jump onto right now and and get that
- 26:36Speaker 3: thing going. It's pretty cool.
- 26:37Speaker 2: You know, what has been great for like cards and
- 26:40Speaker 2: collectibles and stuff has been the Internet, you know, and
- 26:43Speaker 2: social media. And you know, I see all these you know,
- 26:47Speaker 2: I'll I hate to admit it, but it happens where
- 26:51Speaker 2: I'll be sitting there with nothing to do, in you know,
- 26:54Speaker 2: a break at work or in my car, and I
- 26:57Speaker 2: got nothing to do, and I'll be scrolling through TikToker,
- 27:00Speaker 2: you know, Instagram reels and I'm watching two dudes make
- 27:04Speaker 2: making deals for like five thousand dollars worth of cards,
- 27:07Speaker 2: and I'm just like, you guys are nuts. But it's
- 27:10Speaker 2: making a comeback, and it's it's cool to see because
- 27:12Speaker 2: I know you and I both are you know, we
- 27:14Speaker 2: loved cards as kids, and you know we don't buy
- 27:18Speaker 2: them actively very much anymore. I will admit I did
- 27:21Speaker 2: pick up some I don't know about a year ago
- 27:24Speaker 2: off of the internet, but it was strictly something I
- 27:28Speaker 2: specifically wanted and I went and got it. I'm looking
- 27:31Speaker 2: here at the Advanced Custom Cards website, Tyler, and here's
- 27:35Speaker 2: a really cool one of Nolan right right here on
- 27:37Speaker 2: the front. Yeah, he's rolling out ready to throw it,
- 27:39Speaker 2: says Mariners, It says Nolan right and yeah. I mean
- 27:43Speaker 2: it's just that's something I didn't know existed that I'm
- 27:47Speaker 2: now going, Hey, yep, I'm gonna have to invest in
- 27:50Speaker 2: a couple of those here soon. So excited to have
- 27:53Speaker 2: them on board. Tyler, let's go through and talk about
- 27:58Speaker 2: the Well, I guess it's a teams now that we've
- 28:01Speaker 2: added Lumbia Nation. I used to just say ten on everything,
- 28:03Speaker 2: but we will start with Sea Home, Mount Baker, Bellingham,
- 28:08Speaker 2: and Blaine. The Mariners three and eight in conference, five
- 28:11Speaker 2: and eleven overall. Bellingham they are two and eight, five
- 28:14Speaker 2: and nine overall, Mount Baker two and nine, six and
- 28:17Speaker 2: nine overall, and Blaine one and seven, four and ten overall.
- 28:21Speaker 2: Tell me about those four teams down. Yeah.
- 28:24Speaker 3: Sea Home had a tough week. They had a couple
- 28:25Speaker 3: of games that were winnable games they were they were
- 28:28Speaker 3: they were close games. See them lost to Ferndale forty
- 28:31Speaker 3: five to thirty two earlier in the week. Ferndale's kind
- 28:34Speaker 3: of been on the uptick lately, so there, it's tough
- 28:37Speaker 3: to get him right now. Lost a heartbreaker in Mount
- 28:40Speaker 3: Vernon thirty nine to thirty two. Mount Vernon, They've got
- 28:44Speaker 3: some good young players that are really really hard to
- 28:47Speaker 3: stop when they get rolling, and so to hold them
- 28:50Speaker 3: to just thirty nine points is pretty impressive. They just
- 28:53Speaker 3: couldn't get the store the scoring going seal them is
- 28:56Speaker 3: very good defensive team, but a lot of new varsity faces,
- 28:59Speaker 3: I mean, so many new varsity bases on that on
- 29:02Speaker 3: that team, and and that's a team that's going to
- 29:06Speaker 3: be really really good. But they're going through it a
- 29:08Speaker 3: little bit right now. But they'll be like like I said,
- 29:12Speaker 3: they'll they'll be fine in the future. Bellingham, even though
- 29:15Speaker 3: they lost to Mount Vernon forty six thirty six and
- 29:17Speaker 3: lost to Seger of Woolly fifty six to forty five,
- 29:20Speaker 3: those scores are just so much better than they were
- 29:22Speaker 3: last year against the same teams. And that's what's so
- 29:24Speaker 3: cool to see with Bellingham right now is there's been
- 29:27Speaker 3: a massive improvement. Not there has been improvement record wise,
- 29:31Speaker 3: but not as much as it's as its shows on
- 29:35Speaker 3: the scoreboard.
- 29:35Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe not as much as they actually deserve, you know.
- 29:38Speaker 3: Right, yeah, exactly. And and I think they've played tremendous
- 29:42Speaker 3: this year. They're in there in these games. It's so
- 29:45Speaker 3: cool to see a fun thing too about the Siege
- 29:48Speaker 3: of Wollie game, even though they did lose. They lost
- 29:50Speaker 3: to Ken Crawford, the coach for the Cubs, who was
- 29:54Speaker 3: a he's longtime Bellingham coach. So for him to come
- 29:57Speaker 3: back and coach in that gym, that's a pretty cool deal.
- 30:00Speaker 3: Must have been a fun moment for him. I mean,
- 30:03Speaker 3: he coached the he coached the boys team in three
- 30:07Speaker 3: different stints, and you're talking going back to he took
- 30:10Speaker 3: over nineteen seventy nine. Wow, so the seventy ninety fourteen,
- 30:15Speaker 3: So what's that. I wasn't even born yet, right, So
- 30:19Speaker 3: he coached them from yeah, from then all the way
- 30:21Speaker 3: to nineteen ninety and then uh, and then he probably
- 30:24Speaker 3: coached some colleges, and he came back when the school
- 30:26Speaker 3: reopened in two thousand. Uh, he took over then uh,
- 30:31Speaker 3: and the twenty fourteen went twenty four and three and
- 30:34Speaker 3: pretty crazy. And then he took some years off and
- 30:36Speaker 3: he came back and coached in twenty twelve, twenty thirteen.
- 30:39Speaker 3: So he's had three different stints at Bellingham High School.
- 30:42Speaker 3: Pretty pretty incredible, awesome guy. So, you know, if they're
- 30:46Speaker 3: gonna lose a game at home, it's kind of fun
- 30:48Speaker 3: that it was against him. So so good, good for
- 30:51Speaker 3: the Cubs, good for coach Crawford. He's just an awesome guy.
- 30:54Speaker 3: Mount Baker they played a really great game against Nicksack Valley.
- 30:57Speaker 3: I mean that was a three point game in the
- 30:59Speaker 3: in the third quarter, and Nuksack Valley is a great team.
- 31:02Speaker 3: Mount Baker probably to me, they played their best game
- 31:05Speaker 3: of the year in that one, you know, coming up
- 31:06Speaker 3: a two point loss to Anna Chordis, so they were
- 31:09Speaker 3: starting to really be on the upswing there. Knuksack Valley
- 31:13Speaker 3: just hit a lot of key shots in the fourth
- 31:14Speaker 3: quarter and Mount Baker kind of ran out of gas
- 31:17Speaker 3: at that point. And so that was a tough one,
- 31:19Speaker 3: losing fifty nine to forty three. And then they lost
- 31:22Speaker 3: to Okarber forty four to thirty eight. Okarber had not
- 31:24Speaker 3: had a conference win all year. But the tough thing
- 31:27Speaker 3: with Baker there, they were missing two of their starters,
- 31:30Speaker 3: one of them being Rebecca Suarez, who's the superstar on
- 31:33Speaker 3: that team. So you're missing two key players on you know,
- 31:37Speaker 3: and you go on the road even facing a team
- 31:39Speaker 3: that hadn't won a conference game, he still only lost
- 31:42Speaker 3: by six. You were in that game all the way.
- 31:44Speaker 3: That was That was a tough one for Baker, but
- 31:47Speaker 3: it was good to see them put up thirty eight
- 31:49Speaker 3: points without two starters. So it really showed that some
- 31:52Speaker 3: other players got involved. Faith Wilson, Samaya Powell. They each
- 31:56Speaker 3: had I think nine points in that one, kind of
- 31:59Speaker 3: up their roles, which was good to see. Samia Powell
- 32:01Speaker 3: although she went four for four at the free throw line,
- 32:04Speaker 3: she hasn't missed a free throw all year. She just
- 32:06Speaker 3: doesn't have enough to qualify for the Leaders. So that's
- 32:11Speaker 3: kind of something to kind of tip your hat too,
- 32:14Speaker 3: because you know, if she can get other teams into
- 32:16Speaker 3: foul trouble, she's automatic from the line. And how about
- 32:19Speaker 3: Blaine winning the conference game, beating Oakarber twenty two to nineteen,
- 32:22Speaker 3: getting their first conference win of the year. If that
- 32:24Speaker 3: was huge. I was at that one. That was really
- 32:27Speaker 3: really cool to see. They deserved it. They had a
- 32:31Speaker 3: huge lead at one point and then the Wildcats started
- 32:34Speaker 3: to come back, and then they were able to hold
- 32:36Speaker 3: them off at the end. And then the very next
- 32:38Speaker 3: day they had to go down to your neck of
- 32:39Speaker 3: the woods at Cedar Park, Christian took one on the
- 32:41Speaker 3: chin sixty to twenty.
- 32:43Speaker 2: Tough.
- 32:43Speaker 3: That's a tough turnaround there twenty four hours later and
- 32:46Speaker 3: go on the road and then they and then they
- 32:48Speaker 3: beat Bear Creek forty to twenty seven on Saturday afternoons.
- 32:52Speaker 3: So how about that going two and one on the
- 32:56Speaker 3: week the border rights and it was just awesome to
- 32:59Speaker 3: see them put up forty points. You know, there's been
- 33:01Speaker 3: a lot of games where they've only had single digit points.
- 33:04Speaker 3: So I think they're really starting to understand, you know,
- 33:07Speaker 3: the team concept and what to do and when to
- 33:10Speaker 3: cut and when to pass and all that stuff. And
- 33:11Speaker 3: that's really cool to see. The defense has always been there,
- 33:14Speaker 3: you know, they play really really hard defense, and you
- 33:17Speaker 3: can do that with you know, you put five athletes
- 33:19Speaker 3: out there and you can you can coach defense a
- 33:21Speaker 3: little bit easier. It's the offense. It's the fundamentals that
- 33:24Speaker 3: plays and stuff like that that's a little harder to get
- 33:26Speaker 3: through to a lot of players that haven't played basketball
- 33:28Speaker 3: in a long time. So so I'm glad to see
- 33:30Speaker 3: the offenses turning around at the same time. So good
- 33:33Speaker 3: good for the border rights.
- 33:35Speaker 2: Was the Bear Creek game at Homer on the road.
- 33:38Speaker 3: That was on the road doubleheader girls and boys.
- 33:40Speaker 2: Right by my house too.
- 33:41Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 33:42Speaker 2: Actually, as a matter of fact, Bear Creek might even
- 33:44Speaker 2: be somewhat closer wow to my house than Cedar Park.
- 33:48Speaker 2: But wow, that's a that's a heck of a week
- 33:51Speaker 2: there for Blake. I mean that is that's a that's
- 33:53Speaker 2: a really good week. Let's talk about four more teams here, Tyler.
- 33:57Speaker 2: We've got nuck Sack Valley. They are seven and three
- 33:59Speaker 2: in conference tennis, six overall, Meridians seven and four, eleven
- 34:02Speaker 2: and five overall, squal Comes seven and four, nine and
- 34:05Speaker 2: six overall, and then Ferndale six and five and eight
- 34:07Speaker 2: and eight overall. Talk to me about those four.
- 34:10Speaker 3: Yeah, Ferndale beating Sea Home was nice because that was
- 34:14Speaker 3: they avenged a loss earlier in the year. Seeom got
- 34:17Speaker 3: them at their own place to start out the year,
- 34:22Speaker 3: and it was a little bit of a shocker at
- 34:24Speaker 3: the time. Seom played really, really well, but there was
- 34:27Speaker 3: a non league game early in the year. They just
- 34:30Speaker 3: played each other just as a non conference game and
- 34:32Speaker 3: then turn around and beat them when it counted. That
- 34:34Speaker 3: that was huge Ferndale has been playing very very well lately.
- 34:37Speaker 3: I think that was like their third win in a row.
- 34:39Speaker 3: But then they lost to Burlington Edison, who is really good.
- 34:42Speaker 3: I mean they are they are a state caliber team
- 34:44Speaker 3: at the two A level. I was at that game.
- 34:47Speaker 3: It was it was cool because it was the first
- 34:48Speaker 3: time I'd been to a game at that time a day.
- 34:50Speaker 3: It was a two pm game on Saturday, and the
- 34:53Speaker 3: sun was really shining and they had like the blinds open,
- 34:57Speaker 3: so there was a lot of natural light that came through.
- 34:59Speaker 3: It made it look really cool in that.
- 35:01Speaker 2: Yeah, that doesn't have been very often at places. Usually
- 35:04Speaker 2: they make them cover up the windows.
- 35:05Speaker 3: Right, and when as soon as I came in, it
- 35:07Speaker 3: just looked different and it actually made it for taking
- 35:10Speaker 3: pictures kind of cool, Like there was, you know, some
- 35:13Speaker 3: natural light which helps and stuff like that. So but yeah,
- 35:18Speaker 3: and they hung with him for a while, but man,
- 35:21Speaker 3: the Tigers are really really good. Squalaam had an awesome week,
- 35:25Speaker 3: beating Sieger Wollie by three points. You know, right at
- 35:29Speaker 3: the final buzzer went when they got the win. The
- 35:33Speaker 3: best vertical I saw all night that was coach Jennellen
- 35:36Speaker 3: Brown who jumped up in the air to get that win.
- 35:39Speaker 3: She was so excited. That was that was huge because
- 35:42Speaker 3: squall of them had a rough stretch there for a
- 35:44Speaker 3: while and they are a very very young team and
- 35:48Speaker 3: now it's starting to kind of happen. To get that
- 35:50Speaker 3: win against the Cubs, that was huge. And then turn
- 35:52Speaker 3: around and go on the road and beat in a
- 35:54Speaker 3: Cordus fifty to thirty seven. Addison Ketman had a great game,
- 35:58Speaker 3: seventeen points erupt in that game. She missed a big
- 36:01Speaker 3: chunk of the year with an injury. She's back. That
- 36:04Speaker 3: is huge. You know, five ten five eleven sophomore forward
- 36:08Speaker 3: down low doing work. Her dad, Ryan Kepman, is one
- 36:12Speaker 3: of the best players in Walking County history and coaching
- 36:16Speaker 3: her up and stuff like that. And it's a good
- 36:17Speaker 3: group of young players. You know, uh Tianna Thompson and
- 36:21Speaker 3: and and Lexi Robbins and Kylina Perez and Carl keis Alum.
- 36:26Speaker 3: These are all sophomores and freshmen. I mean is it's
- 36:28Speaker 3: a fun and including Kentman too, who's a sophomore. So
- 36:31Speaker 3: it's a fun, fun group. So they get they went
- 36:34Speaker 3: to and on the week, great great week for them.
- 36:36Speaker 3: Ridan you know, losing to Linden sixty nine to twenty.
- 36:39Speaker 3: That's you know, that's that's nothing to hang your head about.
- 36:42Speaker 3: It seems like everybody loses to Lennon that that that
- 36:44Speaker 3: that way. But Meridan turned around and beat Lakewood in
- 36:47Speaker 3: a high scoring game, sixty three to fifty nine. And
- 36:51Speaker 3: I watched a bunch of that game online. Eden Bernardi,
- 36:54Speaker 3: who was out sick a few weeks ago, she went
- 36:58Speaker 3: down with a it looked like maybe an a injury
- 37:00Speaker 3: or something. That's really really tough because she just provides
- 37:03Speaker 3: a lot of athleticism on both sides of the ball,
- 37:05Speaker 3: so hopefully she'll be okay. They still pull out the
- 37:07Speaker 3: win there, which was huge, and Meridians just just a
- 37:11Speaker 3: scrappy team, you know, and they can really shoot it
- 37:14Speaker 3: and that's fun to watch. Nuksack Valley they beat Mount
- 37:16Speaker 3: Baker fifty nine to forty three in a good game.
- 37:19Speaker 3: I was at that when I was actually at both
- 37:21Speaker 3: our games this week, and like I said, they you know,
- 37:24Speaker 3: they fended off Mount Bakery, but I thought played their
- 37:26Speaker 3: best game of the year. And Peyton Bartle, I think
- 37:30Speaker 3: she scored over twenty points in that game. She's a
- 37:32Speaker 3: major sharpshooter there. Shaey Davis had eighteen. So the two
- 37:36Speaker 3: guards really went at it there and did it and
- 37:39Speaker 3: had just a great, great game. And then they lost
- 37:42Speaker 3: to Lennon Christian seventy to fifty. But I thought they
- 37:44Speaker 3: played awesome. Usually you see a lot of these Elsie
- 37:47Speaker 3: girls scores and a lot of them are like sixty
- 37:49Speaker 3: to twenty something, sixty to thirty something, So to put
- 37:53Speaker 3: fifty against Lennon Christian that shows me a lot. It
- 37:56Speaker 3: was a pretty even decent close game in the third quarter.
- 37:59Speaker 3: I think there was a three point game in the
- 38:00Speaker 3: third quarter there. So very very impressive for Nuksack Valley.
- 38:04Speaker 3: They're you know, they have they have a lot of experience,
- 38:09Speaker 3: you know, with their with with four of their main players,
- 38:11Speaker 3: they have a ton of experience. The other five are
- 38:14Speaker 3: really learning on the job. But every single game is
- 38:17Speaker 3: just going to get better and better and better for them,
- 38:19Speaker 3: and playing in this tough conference schedule is gonna, you know,
- 38:22Speaker 3: prep them for the district playoffs coming up.
- 38:25Speaker 2: Three teams left here and they all start with an L,
- 38:27Speaker 2: but none of them took an L this week. Tyler
- 38:29Speaker 2: Leamy Nation nine and oh in Conference fifteen to three overall,
- 38:33Speaker 2: Lynn and Christian ten and Oero in conference fifteen and
- 38:35Speaker 2: two overall, and lynd and the Lions are nine and
- 38:39Speaker 2: oh and seventeen and oh uh yeah, I mean tell
- 38:42Speaker 2: me about these games here, Tyler.
- 38:44Speaker 3: Yeah, Lament Nation defeated Lopez Islands sixty seven to twenty one.
- 38:49Speaker 3: You know, and Lopez Island is considered the second best
- 38:51Speaker 3: team in the conference, uh at the in the Northwest
- 38:54Speaker 3: one B League. So that that tells you just how
- 38:57Speaker 3: you know, dominating Leimonation has been within conference play. And
- 39:01Speaker 3: then a few days later it turn around and beat
- 39:02Speaker 3: Grace Academy sixty four to twenty one. So two very
- 39:06Speaker 3: you know, comparable scores there. When Lemon Nation plays a
- 39:10Speaker 3: conference game, they are going to be favored by a ton.
- 39:12Speaker 3: They're just like I said, we talked about it last week.
- 39:16Speaker 3: They don't have a player, they don't have a starter
- 39:18Speaker 3: that's over five to five, and they will just run
- 39:21Speaker 3: you off the court, and especially on defense, and they
- 39:24Speaker 3: can they can dribble, they can shoot, they know how
- 39:26Speaker 3: to cut and play the right way, and it's they're
- 39:29Speaker 3: just a lot of fun to watch. Now. They do
- 39:31Speaker 3: have a few losses on the year, I don't remember
- 39:34Speaker 3: how many of them were to other one B schools,
- 39:37Speaker 3: so we'll see how they do once they get into
- 39:39Speaker 3: district play and stuff like that. They're really really fun
- 39:42Speaker 3: to watch. Linden Christian beat up on Anacordus sixty four
- 39:45Speaker 3: to twenty six and then defeated Nuksack Bvalley seventy to fifty. Again.
- 39:49Speaker 3: With that seventy to fifty score, that shows you what
- 39:51Speaker 3: the Pioneers can do, because most of the scores look
- 39:54Speaker 3: more like that sixty four to twenty six score. Lyndon Christian.
- 39:57Speaker 3: They can just really shoot it, man. I mean is
- 40:00Speaker 3: they have They always have five girls on the court
- 40:03Speaker 3: that you have to count for, or at least four
- 40:05Speaker 3: they have to count for from from from deep and
- 40:08Speaker 3: uh with either Alison Shoemade or Jocelyn Escheiss down down low.
- 40:12Speaker 3: The other four are going to be spotting up and
- 40:14Speaker 3: shooting threes. And you know, you've got three or four
- 40:17Speaker 3: girls that are shooting at least thirty percent from deep
- 40:20Speaker 3: and one of them shooting close to fifty percent, so
- 40:22Speaker 3: you always have to be on the lookout for that.
- 40:24Speaker 3: And then Ella Fritz can drive in and out and
- 40:26Speaker 3: do so many different things. But it's uh, they're just
- 40:29Speaker 3: they're just loaded and they're really really on a roll
- 40:32Speaker 3: right now. Like I like, like you said, I haven't
- 40:35Speaker 3: lost a conference game. And then Lyndon starting off the
- 40:38Speaker 3: week by beating Kings down at the show Weear Center.
- 40:40Speaker 3: That was that was really impressive. Kings is a very
- 40:44Speaker 3: very very good high end one to eight team. Kalo
- 40:47Speaker 3: Anderson is their star player, and they just put Keky
- 40:50Speaker 3: York on her, you know, constantly. And Keky york is
- 40:53Speaker 3: a you know, like I've heard people say a generational
- 40:57Speaker 3: defensive talent and Kalo Anderson and you gra average is
- 41:00Speaker 3: probably twenty a game, didn't get a field goal till
- 41:03Speaker 3: the third quarter. I mean, it was just that that
- 41:06Speaker 3: Linen team is just loaded. There's there's no weaknesses. They
- 41:09Speaker 3: have so much size too, and when they put their
- 41:11Speaker 3: starting lineup out there, Keiki york Is, who's about five
- 41:15Speaker 3: to nine, is the shortest player when they put the
- 41:17Speaker 3: starting lineup out there. So uh so they have everything.
- 41:21Speaker 3: And then they turn around to beat Meridian sixty nine
- 41:23Speaker 3: to twenty, and you know they.
- 41:26Speaker 2: Are they are on a roll.
- 41:27Speaker 3: They and they play, they go ten deep, they play
- 41:30Speaker 3: a lot. They just keep subbing and they keep coming
- 41:32Speaker 3: after you. And they always have, you know, a dead
- 41:36Speaker 3: on shooter out there, a great rebounder out there that
- 41:38Speaker 3: you know, great.
- 41:39Speaker 2: Size out there.
- 41:40Speaker 3: I mean, it's just they just it's just there's just
- 41:43Speaker 3: so many of them, and it seems like they don't
- 41:45Speaker 3: they don't. They don't. There's no they don't slough off
- 41:49Speaker 3: at all when they go to their bench. They could
- 41:51Speaker 3: just keep on going. And that's says a lot about
- 41:53Speaker 3: you know, coach Adams and his crew and and the
- 41:56Speaker 3: way he coaches, and you know, they're on a roll
- 41:59Speaker 3: right now. I think they've won thirty five in a row,
- 42:02Speaker 3: thirty six in a row, something like that, so very
- 42:05Speaker 3: very impressive.
- 42:06Speaker 2: Just looking at over Tyler, I see Leconnor and Mount
- 42:11Speaker 2: Vernon Christian are both two B schools that have beaten
- 42:15Speaker 2: Lummy Ye and then the other one is Potero's and
- 42:19Speaker 2: I believe Petero's is an eight man football program. I
- 42:23Speaker 2: would think that was a really close game.
- 42:24Speaker 3: Wasn't it like a two point game or something.
- 42:27Speaker 2: Petero's is is a one B and that score was well,
- 42:33Speaker 2: they lost to La Connor forty four to thirty six.
- 42:36Speaker 2: Mount Vernon Christman Christian Chrishman sixty eight forty one and
- 42:41Speaker 2: then lost to Potero's forty eight forty six. Right.
- 42:45Speaker 3: Mount Christian is loaded, Yeah, and I feel like they
- 42:48Speaker 3: always are right right, They're very, very good, so I'm
- 42:52Speaker 3: not surprised there and Potero's that was a two point
- 42:56Speaker 3: game though both those games were in the same tournament.
- 42:58Speaker 3: That was a really good tournament down at Mountain Vernon Christian.
- 43:03Speaker 3: And I saw some of those I saw. I saw
- 43:05Speaker 3: the Mount Vernon Christian game, and by some I mean
- 43:07Speaker 3: I saw the other ones on film. That was the
- 43:09Speaker 3: one where the game in between was when Brian and
- 43:11Speaker 3: Matiba hit that hit that that left handed runner from
- 43:15Speaker 3: three point Land to win the game.
- 43:16Speaker 2: Yeah, fifty three to fifty over Cross Point Christian.
- 43:19Speaker 3: Right, So there that was good competition for them, which
- 43:22Speaker 3: is really cool to see.
- 43:24Speaker 2: Let's see here, Tyler. We need to talk about the
- 43:26Speaker 2: stat leaders, and that is brought to you by Acceleration
- 43:29Speaker 2: Driving School in the Linden You can give them a call.
- 43:32Speaker 2: Three six three six zero seven four six four five
- 43:37Speaker 2: six seven. I'm not sure why that one was hard
- 43:40Speaker 2: for me this week. I always read that one and
- 43:43Speaker 2: think to myself, I can't believe I don't screw this up. Well,
- 43:45Speaker 2: today's to day. Let's start off Tyler with points per game.
- 43:51Speaker 3: Yeah, Finley Partcher actually up he points per game, just barely.
- 43:55Speaker 3: The sophomore from Linden now at twenty one point six
- 43:57Speaker 3: points per game, rebounds her game. Grace Dahoague of Luksak
- 44:03Speaker 3: Valley now at fourteen point four rebounds per game, which
- 44:06Speaker 3: is incredible. Really, it was really fun to see her
- 44:09Speaker 3: battle Rebecca Soarez in that game because Rebecca sores who's
- 44:12Speaker 3: she's in second place in that in that category. So
- 44:15Speaker 3: you saw a couple players that are six one six
- 44:17Speaker 3: ' two battle out in the post and in the paint.
- 44:20Speaker 3: That was really really fun to see. Assists per game, Yeah,
- 44:25Speaker 3: Lexi Robbins of Squalkum, the sophomore point guard. She's been
- 44:29Speaker 3: holding onto that five and a half assists per game.
- 44:32Speaker 3: I think she's like a full assist ahead of the
- 44:35Speaker 3: next person. And every single time I watch her. One
- 44:38Speaker 3: of the things that really excites me is her is
- 44:42Speaker 3: her lead passing. You know, not necessarily an outlet pass,
- 44:45Speaker 3: but once she gets the ball, like someone rebounds gets
- 44:48Speaker 3: the ball to her, she takes like two dribbles and
- 44:50Speaker 3: then a lead pass is unbelievable, and that's really really
- 44:53Speaker 3: fun to see steals per game. Brooklyn Larrabee of Ferndale
- 44:58Speaker 3: still holding onto that at five and a half steels
- 45:00Speaker 3: per game. I tell you what, when they played Burlington Edison,
- 45:04Speaker 3: I was standing there with with Donnie Hennigs, you know,
- 45:07Speaker 3: the baseball coach at Ferndale and offensive line coach at Ferndale,
- 45:09Speaker 3: and and he said, he goes that number ten for
- 45:12Speaker 3: Burlington must be really good. And I was like, yeah,
- 45:14Speaker 3: I think that's their best player. And I said, how
- 45:17Speaker 3: do you know? And he goes, well, because Brooklyn's just
- 45:19Speaker 3: facing her up wherever she goes, you know. So you
- 45:22Speaker 3: know that that that you can always tell who the
- 45:24Speaker 3: top defensive player is on each team because of matchups
- 45:27Speaker 3: and stuff like that. And Brooklyn Therapy Kekey York. Those
- 45:30Speaker 3: are two of the best defensive players right now in
- 45:32Speaker 3: the in the in the conference, there's a lot of
- 45:34Speaker 3: good ones. And Brooklyn thereby's putting up huge numbers, really
- 45:36Speaker 3: quick hands, just extremely quick hands, great instincts.
- 45:40Speaker 2: It is kind of wild to see steals and assists
- 45:42Speaker 2: are both the same number. Five point five Yeah, blocks
- 45:46Speaker 2: per game.
- 45:47Speaker 3: Aspen Barge of Seahome now at two point six blocks
- 45:51Speaker 3: per game. I think she had a she had a
- 45:52Speaker 3: huge game I want to say it was against Ferndale
- 45:54Speaker 3: where she had five blocks on that one, and so
- 45:57Speaker 3: she's actually been upping her numbers. She was right around two,
- 46:00Speaker 3: like one point nine, two point one. She's been hovering
- 46:03Speaker 3: in that area for a while, but she had a big,
- 46:05Speaker 3: big week and so now she's up to two point
- 46:07Speaker 3: six blocks per game. She just has she's i mean
- 46:09Speaker 3: she's already six to one, but very very long arms
- 46:12Speaker 3: and has a defensive mindset, like she just kind of knows,
- 46:16Speaker 3: you know, her role, and and she's had some games,
- 46:19Speaker 3: I mean against Lendon Christian, I think she had like
- 46:22Speaker 3: I don't know, close to like twenty points in that one,
- 46:24Speaker 3: which is saying a lot against that kind of team.
- 46:27Speaker 3: So she can do She can play offensively as well,
- 46:29Speaker 3: but I think she's defensive first and and you know,
- 46:33Speaker 3: very very good and it's not about swatting it out
- 46:36Speaker 3: of bounds or anything like that. She's very good at
- 46:38Speaker 3: at blocking it but keeping it in play for her
- 46:41Speaker 3: teammates and stuff like that, which goes along.
- 46:43Speaker 2: Way field goal percentage. Yeah.
- 46:46Speaker 3: Alison Shoemate of Lyndon Christian still holding onto that. It
- 46:50Speaker 3: dropped a little bit. She's at sixty two point two
- 46:52Speaker 3: percent the senior for the Links, she is eighty nine
- 46:56Speaker 3: of one hundred and forty three now on the season.
- 46:58Speaker 3: She can just get really good positioning down low. Watched
- 47:01Speaker 3: that game against Nucksec Valleys. Her against Grace de Hoogue
- 47:04Speaker 3: again was awesome. But she's very good. I mean she
- 47:07Speaker 3: can get the good entry pass and then turn a
- 47:09Speaker 3: certain way and then she'll kind of contort her body
- 47:11Speaker 3: to bank it off, and so she uses her body
- 47:14Speaker 3: to create separation and then and then bank that shot
- 47:18Speaker 3: off the window from like three feet out. And that's
- 47:20Speaker 3: you know, you can do that over and over again.
- 47:22Speaker 3: You're gonna have a really high shooting percentage and score
- 47:24Speaker 3: a lot of points.
- 47:26Speaker 2: How about three point percentage?
- 47:28Speaker 3: Daniel Daykshra of Lyndon Christian Again, she's she's she's not
- 47:32Speaker 3: at fifty percent anymore, but she's right below it forty
- 47:35Speaker 3: eight point two percent twenty seven of fifty six. Uh.
- 47:39Speaker 3: Sara hit a few more threes in that game against
- 47:41Speaker 3: Knucksac Palley. I want to say she had ten points
- 47:44Speaker 3: in the first quarter. And uh, it's just crazy because
- 47:48Speaker 3: every time she spots up and releases a shot. I mean,
- 47:51Speaker 3: the whole crowd just goes like they like it's it's
- 47:55Speaker 3: like they expect it every single time. And and uh
- 47:58Speaker 3: that's because you know halftime she makes it so really
- 48:01Speaker 3: cool to see.
- 48:03Speaker 2: And last, but not least here free throw percentage.
- 48:06Speaker 3: Yeah, still Finleyparture of Lyndon right at eighty percent now
- 48:10Speaker 3: forty eight of sixty, which is incredible. But I do
- 48:15Speaker 3: want to give a shout out like I did to
- 48:16Speaker 3: for Somayah Powell, who's I think seven per seven on
- 48:19Speaker 3: the year, not a ton of shots, but she hasn't
- 48:21Speaker 3: missed one yet. And Kinsley Neil of Meridian, who I
- 48:24Speaker 3: think is thirteen of fourteen, so ninety two point nine percent.
- 48:27Speaker 3: They just don't have enough attempts to qualify, but that
- 48:30Speaker 3: still is very, very impressive for those players to when
- 48:34Speaker 3: they get to the line they don't miss.
- 48:36Speaker 2: That's the stat leaders for girls basketball, brought to you
- 48:38Speaker 2: by Acceleration Driving School and Lyndon again. Three six zero

- 49:33Speaker 2: It's one of the best builders in Watcom and Stategic counties.
- 49:36Speaker 2: Let's go through the standings here, Tyler, and we will
- 49:39Speaker 2: start with Squalcom three and eight, seven and nine overall.
- 49:43Speaker 2: Mount Baker they are also three and eight. They are
- 49:45Speaker 2: eight and eight overall, Seahome two and nine, four and
- 49:49Speaker 2: twelve overall, and then Blaine Ohero and eleven and thirteen,
- 49:53Speaker 2: three and thirteen Overa'll be wild if they have thirteen
- 49:55Speaker 2: wins overall and none in conference play. But yeah, Tyler,
- 49:58Speaker 2: what do we got for those four?
- 50:00Speaker 3: I tell you what, Even though they're kind of at
- 50:02Speaker 3: the bottom here, they all had pretty good weeks. You know,
- 50:05Speaker 3: Squalicum lost to sigr Woolley sixty to forty nine. They were,
- 50:09Speaker 3: you know, still battling with some sickness and stuff like
- 50:11Speaker 3: that on the team. But then they turn around and
- 50:13Speaker 3: beat Anachordus fifty seven to fifty two. Anachortus is really good. Like,
- 50:17Speaker 3: they were one of the top teams in two A
- 50:19Speaker 3: and so for them to beat them, that was that
- 50:22Speaker 3: was huge. And I think that's gonna be a great
- 50:24Speaker 3: stepping stone for the Storm. I think Marcus Nixon was
- 50:29Speaker 3: I think he was a rebound away from a triple
- 50:31Speaker 3: double in that game.
- 50:34Speaker 2: So that's where when I saw the when I saw
- 50:36Speaker 2: the scoreboard from from Etiline Dairy, when I saw that
- 50:39Speaker 2: scoreboard you posted, I said, WHOA, Squalcum got an Anacortus. Hunh,
- 50:43Speaker 2: Like that's a good win.
- 50:44Speaker 3: For them, man, Yeah, it's it's it's Hugeoe. It's been
- 50:47Speaker 3: a few years, so that was that. Yeah, it was
- 50:50Speaker 3: really really cool to see. And I think that if
- 50:53Speaker 3: they can peak right now and get some guys back
- 50:56Speaker 3: to be healthy that they could really surprise some people.
- 51:00Speaker 3: The one thing is they don't have that that big
- 51:03Speaker 3: time center. You know, Ezra Nichols is six to three
- 51:06Speaker 3: and he's really strong, you know, two way starter on
- 51:09Speaker 3: the offense and defensive line, and he can he can
- 51:12Speaker 3: bang down there. But but he's sixty three. You know,
- 51:16Speaker 3: it's it's gonna be tough against some of these some
- 51:18Speaker 3: of these bigger teams. You got to really got to
- 51:20Speaker 3: rely on their your athleticism and your shooting and and uh.
- 51:23Speaker 3: But they've been doing that lately, so I was huge
- 51:25Speaker 3: to get that win. How about Mount Baker beating Nuxac Valley, uh,
- 51:29Speaker 3: fifty nine to forty seven. I was at that one.
- 51:32Speaker 3: That was just a great game all the way through.
- 51:35Speaker 3: It was even exciting at the end of the half
- 51:37Speaker 3: when you know Baker had the ball with like six
- 51:39Speaker 3: seconds to go, and and they go up to shoot
- 51:41Speaker 3: a shot. It gets blocked by Cole Koppinger and he
- 51:45Speaker 3: catches it right right before half court and he shoots
- 51:47Speaker 3: it up and made it right at the buzzer. For
- 51:50Speaker 3: that was that was really cool. You don't see those
- 51:52Speaker 3: live a lot, you see them on video a lot.
- 51:54Speaker 3: So that was kind of fun to see that live
- 51:56Speaker 3: and h but the Baker defense really took it to
- 51:59Speaker 3: him in the second half. Darius Gilstrap had four steals,
- 52:02Speaker 3: I think he had a double double, sixteen points, twelve rebounds,
- 52:06Speaker 3: something like that. And Carder Hill also had sixteen points
- 52:11Speaker 3: and I think kel Reardon had a pretty good game too.
- 52:14Speaker 3: And when those guys are all playing great at the
- 52:16Speaker 3: same time, uh, it's a fun team to watch. And
- 52:19Speaker 3: they really share the ball well, and they they you know,
- 52:23Speaker 3: they find the cutter and they do all those things
- 52:25Speaker 3: and they play really good defense. So that was that
- 52:28Speaker 3: was that was really cool to see because Nuxsac Valley
- 52:29Speaker 3: was on a roll. They were they were I think
- 52:32Speaker 3: they had won like four conference games in a row
- 52:35Speaker 3: leading up to that point. So uh, but then they
- 52:38Speaker 3: lost Oakcarb fifty two to fifty one. What a heartbreaker
- 52:41Speaker 3: they had that game. Uh, they were leading in the
- 52:43Speaker 3: fourth quarter by quite a bit and they drop it
- 52:46Speaker 3: by by one by by one point. Okarber gets a
- 52:50Speaker 3: lay in with like eleven seconds to go, and and
- 52:53Speaker 3: that was you know, that was the game. The Baker
- 52:56Speaker 3: missed their their their final shot and that that was it.
- 52:58Speaker 3: The game was at home it's a winnable game. You're
- 53:01Speaker 3: on a roll. You just beat the Pioneers. So uh,
- 53:03Speaker 3: it's just the way it goes sometimes. And you know,
- 53:06Speaker 3: Baker that they were much improved this year, and that's
- 53:09Speaker 3: that's really really cool to see. Uh See Home lost
- 53:12Speaker 3: to Ferndale fifty five forty two. Ferndal is a very
- 53:15Speaker 3: very good team. They're much much taller team than than
- 53:19Speaker 3: than Sea Home, so for them to hang with them,
- 53:22Speaker 3: that's that's that's pretty impressive. And they lost to Mount
- 53:24Speaker 3: Vernon fifty six to forty three. That was another close game.
- 53:27Speaker 3: Col Terrell played really well inside him and him and
- 53:30Speaker 3: Nolan Wright has had some good moments there. Uh you
- 53:33Speaker 3: know where you where you cut and you find and
- 53:35Speaker 3: then boom and lay it in and and uh he
- 53:38Speaker 3: played really well. Zaber Kelly did. Cooper McAtee had a
- 53:41Speaker 3: really good game, hit a couple of threes, probably had
- 53:44Speaker 3: his best game of the year. And no, Nolan Wright
- 53:47Speaker 3: hit some shots. They just they just couldn't put up
- 53:49Speaker 3: that many points. And that was a that that was
- 53:52Speaker 3: a tough one. And and you know Mount Vernon is
- 53:56Speaker 3: very athletic team and and you can't let you can't
- 53:59Speaker 3: you know, yeah, to take care of the ball against
- 54:01Speaker 3: a team like that, because they can easily get the
- 54:03Speaker 3: steal and go out on a break and they're just
- 54:05Speaker 3: they just they're really fast and they're hard to contend
- 54:07Speaker 3: that way. Blaine. You know, even though they lost Okarb
- 54:11Speaker 3: eighty two to sixty seven, they did lose to Bear Creek.
- 54:14Speaker 3: They put up some pretty good numbers. But I was
- 54:16Speaker 3: really impressed with their game against Lyndon. I tell you what,
- 54:20Speaker 3: you catch Lyndon at the right time when they're playing
- 54:22Speaker 3: their third game in four days and coach Chascock knows
- 54:26Speaker 3: everything about Linden that he knows what they do. He
- 54:28Speaker 3: played for that program, he played for coach Roper, and
- 54:32Speaker 3: he got his kids inspired there at home and they
- 54:35Speaker 3: That was a close game, even in the fourth quarter.
- 54:38Speaker 3: I think it was like an eight point game in
- 54:39Speaker 3: the fourth quarter. And they were talking about a team
- 54:41Speaker 3: that's undefeat on the year and Blaine, who hasn't won
- 54:43Speaker 3: a conference game, and you got a close game going.
- 54:45Speaker 3: That was really really impressive to see. But in the end,
- 54:48Speaker 3: it was just too much firepower for the Lions. But
- 54:52Speaker 3: I was really really impressed of how Blaine came together
- 54:55Speaker 3: in that one. It was good getting Land and Melton back.
- 54:58Speaker 3: He's a big time player, a six four player that
- 55:00Speaker 3: can that can handle and shoot like a guard, but
- 55:03Speaker 3: can do some good things defensively down low. Abdual Kanaji,
- 55:08Speaker 3: you know, doing all the dirty work, you know, down low,
- 55:10Speaker 3: getting all the rebounds and blocking shots and stuff like that.
- 55:13Speaker 3: But he can still put up, you know, twelve to
- 55:15Speaker 3: fourteen points. So I thought, I thought they played really well.
- 55:19Speaker 3: It might have been their best game they played all year,
- 55:21Speaker 3: just happened to be against the three time defending state champs.
- 55:25Speaker 2: Let's talk about Ferndale six and five in conference, eight
- 55:28Speaker 2: and eight overall, Bellingham also six and five, eight and eight,
- 55:32Speaker 2: Nooksack Valley four to seven, eight and seven overall, Tyler
- 55:36Speaker 2: and looks like a couple of wins, a couple of losses,
- 55:40Speaker 2: some games that maybe they could have won from these three.
- 55:43Speaker 3: Yeah, Ferndale, you know, Fernal and Bellingham identical records, like
- 55:46Speaker 3: you said, But they did play each other this year
- 55:48Speaker 3: in Ferndale doubled them up. So Bellingham was kind of
- 55:52Speaker 3: in a rut there for a little bit, but they
- 55:54Speaker 3: came out of it by beating Mount Vernon seventy four
- 55:56Speaker 3: to sixty six. They looked great, so it's kind of
- 55:59Speaker 3: nice to see kind of things snap back together a
- 56:01Speaker 3: little bit. I think Milo Wright had like eleven assists
- 56:04Speaker 3: in that game, which is a crazy number at the
- 56:07Speaker 3: high school level. To have double digit assists, it just
- 56:09Speaker 3: does not happen very often. But then the loss of
- 56:11Speaker 3: Siege of Woolly eighty one to sixty three, they were
- 56:13Speaker 3: without one of their top players, Kincaid van van Hooton
- 56:17Speaker 3: was out, and he's a guy that's you know, he's
- 56:20Speaker 3: seventeen and eight something like that, one of the best
- 56:22Speaker 3: free throw shooters in the county. H really good three
- 56:25Speaker 3: point guy. He's six foot six and you you, you know,
- 56:28Speaker 3: a multi year starter. You don't have a guy like that,
- 56:31Speaker 3: and that's really hard to contend with. You have to
- 56:34Speaker 3: you have to ask a lot of other guys to
- 56:36Speaker 3: step up, and and and and you're on the road
- 56:38Speaker 3: and Siger Woolie is very good. They got some big
- 56:41Speaker 3: time shooters, So you drop that one. That's that's tough.
- 56:45Speaker 3: Mount Baker losing to I'm sorry, Knoksac Valley losing to
- 56:48Speaker 3: Mount Baker, that was, you know, not in the carts
- 56:51Speaker 3: for them, especially after they beat Meridian so you kind
- 56:53Speaker 3: of have one of those three ways where everyone beat
- 56:55Speaker 3: each other and and that's you know, what happened in
- 56:59Speaker 3: football too. But but Nukzach Valley they just couldn't shoot.
- 57:02Speaker 3: They were just they just they just struggled. I mean,
- 57:04Speaker 3: I think they were like two for fourteen from deep
- 57:08Speaker 3: and I think they shot like just over thirty percent
- 57:11Speaker 3: total from the from the floor. So, uh, you know,
- 57:14Speaker 3: you do that, you're not gonna win, especially in the
- 57:16Speaker 3: Northwest Conference. They turned around and played a really good
- 57:19Speaker 3: game at Lyndon Christian. I saw that one. So I
- 57:21Speaker 3: saw both Nookzac Valley's games this year or this week,
- 57:24Speaker 3: but lost eighty three to sixty nine. And the weird
- 57:26Speaker 3: thing about that one was, you know, you're sitting there
- 57:29Speaker 3: and you're watching it was so funny. I was up
- 57:30Speaker 3: in the balcony. I'm standing. It's like there's this little
- 57:33Speaker 3: area which is great for taking pictures and it's kind
- 57:37Speaker 3: of where people can stand off to if there's you know,
- 57:39Speaker 3: maybe if you don't have an affiliation with the team
- 57:41Speaker 3: or whatever. But I'm standing there and I'm next on
- 57:43Speaker 3: my right is Blake Van Dalen and Craig Bartell, and
- 57:48Speaker 3: they're talking coaching On my left is Luke Ridenauer and
- 57:50Speaker 3: all his kids, and it's just kind of just standing there, man,
- 57:54Speaker 3: like I just love this because it's like walking County
- 57:56Speaker 3: Royalty wherever I go. I just it's so fun to
- 57:59Speaker 3: to bump in all these people.
- 58:00Speaker 2: But you know what they're all saying, you should you
- 58:02Speaker 2: know who we sit next to? That Anderson guy?
- 58:05Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 58:05Speaker 2: Right, yeah, I mean you know what that is, Tyler.
- 58:08Speaker 2: That's very much Au and Whitman moment, you know what
- 58:11Speaker 2: I mean?
- 58:11Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh yeah, no kidding all stay all stay Whitman. Yeah, totally. Yeah.
- 58:17Speaker 3: I mean I'm I The world is a tuxedo and
- 58:19Speaker 3: I'm a pair of brown shoes. That's That's how I've
- 58:22Speaker 3: always felt my entire life. And uh, but it was
- 58:25Speaker 3: fun because I was talking with those guys and I go,
- 58:27Speaker 3: you know what's crazy about nok Sac Valley in this game.
- 58:29Speaker 3: It's like if you're just sitting here and you're just
- 58:31Speaker 3: watching the game, you're really paying attention to the Pioneers,
- 58:34Speaker 3: You're going, man, they're awesome, Like they're playing great, and
- 58:37Speaker 3: then you look at the scoreboard and they're down fifteen.
- 58:39Speaker 3: It's like, what, Like that's what that's what the links
- 58:43Speaker 3: can do to you. It's like, even if you play great,
- 58:46Speaker 3: there's still got They're still up on you by by
- 58:48Speaker 3: double digits. And that's what's I don't know how to explain,
- 58:51Speaker 3: like how great that is, but that's what. That's what
- 58:54Speaker 3: they do. And they seem to do that all the time.
- 58:56Speaker 3: And and but Corey only played the game his life.
- 59:00Speaker 3: I mean he I think he finished with nineteen points.
- 59:03Speaker 3: He's usually kind of like a defensive stopper. He'll take
- 59:06Speaker 3: three or four shots a game. He's very he gets
- 59:09Speaker 3: a lot of rebounds, he's very good passer, gets a
- 59:11Speaker 3: lot of assist team guy. But he scored. I think
- 59:14Speaker 3: he was like six for six in the first quarter.
- 59:17Speaker 3: And he was finding soft spots in the zone in
- 59:19Speaker 3: the mid range game, and he was he was hitting
- 59:21Speaker 3: every single one of them, and he was really keeping
- 59:23Speaker 3: them in that game. And Kayden Euten played well and
- 59:26Speaker 3: Brady Ackerman of course and those guys. But but Lenny
- 59:30Speaker 3: Christian is just loaded. And then Ferndale beating Sea Home
- 59:33Speaker 3: fifty five to forty two, you know, taking care of
- 59:36Speaker 3: business there, that's what the It's a game they should win.
- 59:39Speaker 3: They did win, but they lost to Burlington Edison sixty
- 59:43Speaker 3: six to fifty eight. I think that's a very good matchup.
- 59:46Speaker 3: I think that's a game that they probably felt like
- 59:48Speaker 3: they could have won. Burlington Edison's got that kid who's
- 59:51Speaker 3: like six foot ten and blocking shots and dunking and
- 59:54Speaker 3: doing all sorts of things, and that's just hard to
- 59:56Speaker 3: contend with. Ferndale's got good size, but they've got, you know,
- 1:00:00Speaker 3: three guys that are six five. It's nice to have
- 1:00:02Speaker 3: three guys that are six five, but you don't when
- 1:00:03Speaker 3: you don't can't match up against the six to ten guy.
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: And in the past, that kid has been you know,
- 1:00:09Speaker 3: a little uncoordinated and and you know, kind of kind
- 1:00:13Speaker 3: of gangly and you know when he runs it looks
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: like a ladder's unfolding. You know, it's just kind of
- 1:00:18Speaker 3: what it is. But this year he's really playing great.
- 1:00:21Speaker 3: He's starting to fill out and I think he's a
- 1:00:24Speaker 3: senior now, so that's good for the rest of the county.
- 1:00:26Speaker 3: But he's hard to contend with. And you know, Montage
- 1:00:30Speaker 3: Sings still put up like twenty six points in that one,
- 1:00:33Speaker 3: which is a season high for him, and they had
- 1:00:37Speaker 3: a lead in the fourth quarter, but the Tigers really
- 1:00:40Speaker 3: really good at home and so they picked up the
- 1:00:42Speaker 3: win there.
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: Lastly, we've got Maridi and six and five in conference
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: ten and six overall, leim Nation five and one, fourteen
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: and three overall, Lenny Christian eleven and oh sixteen and
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: one overall, and then Linden the Lions eleven and oh
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: and at seventeen and overall. Tyler, Yeah, let's hear about
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: these four.
- 1:01:02Speaker 3: Yeah, Meriddan, Actually, you know played pretty well this year.
- 1:01:05Speaker 3: They just played this week. They just played against two
- 1:01:07Speaker 3: really good teams. Was at both the games at least
- 1:01:11Speaker 3: for a while. They lost to Lynden sixty two to
- 1:01:14Speaker 3: fifty six, but a six point game against the Lions.
- 1:01:18Speaker 3: That's incredible. So Meridan, you know, they have a lot
- 1:01:22Speaker 3: of the pieces that you really like, and when it's
- 1:01:24Speaker 3: a close game, they know how to hang around. And
- 1:01:27Speaker 3: these they're so well coached. Shane Shane Stacy is unbelievable.
- 1:01:30Speaker 3: And then you have you know, Mount Baker's all time
- 1:01:32Speaker 3: leading winning his coach on your bench too. I mean,
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: you know, both those guys have over two hundred and
- 1:01:39Speaker 3: fifty wins in their career something like that.
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: So a little bit it's.
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: Kind of nice to have that on your side, and
- 1:01:45Speaker 3: then you have a lot of height and great senior
- 1:01:48Speaker 3: leadership and it all comes together. It just wasn't enough
- 1:01:51Speaker 3: there against Lindon. Then they lose to Lakewood seventy seven
- 1:01:54Speaker 3: to sixty two. Lakewood. Man, they are. I think it
- 1:01:58Speaker 3: might have been my first time seeing them in person,
- 1:02:00Speaker 3: and holy cow, they are. They are. They're so talented.
- 1:02:06Speaker 3: And it's so funny because I kind of want to
- 1:02:07Speaker 3: share a text message here because coach Shane Stacey sends
- 1:02:11Speaker 3: out the sent out like the screenshots of the game
- 1:02:15Speaker 3: book after the game to myself and Jim Carberry and
- 1:02:18Speaker 3: stuff like that, and Jim row thanks Shane. Haven't seen
- 1:02:21Speaker 3: Lakewood yet, but I imagine they're a tough team to
- 1:02:23Speaker 3: play catch up against. And Shane wrote back, if you've
- 1:02:26Speaker 3: ever seen sharks swarming a pool of blood, then you've
- 1:02:29Speaker 3: seen them. So that that and that's that's a great
- 1:02:33Speaker 3: analogy because I tell you what. Defensively, they were so
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: good and they were on everything and as soon as
- 1:02:39Speaker 3: the ball was loose, you had guys running down in
- 1:02:43Speaker 3: their lanes, filling lanes and you had someone grabbing it
- 1:02:45Speaker 3: and go and score, and it was just like, holy cow,
- 1:02:48Speaker 3: It was one of those ones where before you know it,
- 1:02:50Speaker 3: you're down ten nothing, you're calling multiple timeouts in the
- 1:02:53Speaker 3: first quarter, and that was that was what it was like.
- 1:02:57Speaker 3: And Lakewood, you know, lake was really good, so Meridian,
- 1:03:01Speaker 3: you know, they lost by fifteen. They lost seventy seven
- 1:03:03Speaker 3: to sixty two. They hung with them after the first quarter.
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: I think was twenty six to ten after the first quarter,
- 1:03:08Speaker 3: but they hung with him after that. But boy, they
- 1:03:12Speaker 3: are really really good and so they're impressive to see.
- 1:03:16Speaker 3: Lemon Nation actually played Lakewood, which was awesome to see,
- 1:03:19Speaker 3: going four classifications up. They had dropped it by twelve,
- 1:03:24Speaker 3: but they played a great game as well. Jerome Toby
- 1:03:27Speaker 3: is the real deal. Is he can play against those
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: kinds of teams and that says a lot. But they
- 1:03:35Speaker 3: did lose that game. It was at home, but it
- 1:03:38Speaker 3: was really cool. I mean, they are not afraid to
- 1:03:39Speaker 3: schedule anybody. They've been trying to schedule Ferndale. They'd be
- 1:03:42Speaker 3: five classifications up. Coach coach Jerome Toby, he played at
- 1:03:46Speaker 3: Ferndale and he played on the team that was probably
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: the best Ferndale basketball team of all time. I think
- 1:03:52Speaker 3: they finished fourth in the state, fifth and State something
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: like that in nineteen ninety six, so there is a
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: little rivalry there. I think that would be an awesome
- 1:04:01Speaker 3: game to see as well, and I think it would
- 1:04:02Speaker 3: actually be a good game. I think it'd be a
- 1:04:05Speaker 3: great game. But they you know, they played the non
- 1:04:08Speaker 3: league game against the Cougars, they turned around and beat
- 1:04:10Speaker 3: Grace Academy, go back to conference play and beat them
- 1:04:12Speaker 3: seventy four to thirty three. Took care of business there.
- 1:04:15Speaker 3: DeAndre James looked great in the post. Landon la Fontaine,
- 1:04:19Speaker 3: who's their quarterback, just a sophomore. He's a great outside shooter.
- 1:04:22Speaker 3: He went off for twenty points. So they just they
- 1:04:25Speaker 3: just know how to fill it up and play good defense.
- 1:04:28Speaker 3: And they're not a huge team either. David James is
- 1:04:31Speaker 3: the center, but he's only about six to two, so,
- 1:04:34Speaker 3: but they can run and they can finish and play great,
- 1:04:36Speaker 3: especially as a team. Lynnon Christian they had a little
- 1:04:40Speaker 3: bit of a scare against Anna Chordus, but they they
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: pulled it. They kind of separated themselves in the fourth quarter,
- 1:04:45Speaker 3: ended up winning seventy one to fifty five. The links
- 1:04:48Speaker 3: are just they're just dynamic. I mean, they got five
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: guys five guys and averaging double digits. I don't know,
- 1:04:56Speaker 3: I'd have to look back. I don't know if there's
- 1:04:57Speaker 3: ever been a team in Walkom County that had five
- 1:04:59Speaker 3: players average double digits for an entire season. So they
- 1:05:03Speaker 3: put up a lot of points, and uh, and that
- 1:05:06Speaker 3: and when you have five guys, you got to account
- 1:05:08Speaker 3: for all of them, and that's that's the thing. And
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: and uh, they can really fill it up. They do
- 1:05:13Speaker 3: a great, great job. And then they beat Nooksack Valley
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: eighty three to sixty nine. And what I thought, the
- 1:05:18Speaker 3: Pioneers played an awesome game, but it's just hard to
- 1:05:21Speaker 3: defeat those lengths, especially at home. I was talking to
- 1:05:24Speaker 3: Harlan Credit, who was the athletic director for years and
- 1:05:27Speaker 3: years and he's retired now, but he's at all the games.
- 1:05:30Speaker 3: And I came up to and I said, mister Credit,
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: how long has this gym, you know, been the gym?
- 1:05:37Speaker 3: Like how long have they played games here? And he
- 1:05:38Speaker 3: said sixty or sixty one? And I thought that was
- 1:05:42Speaker 3: incredible because I think that's when Elsie started playing sports.
- 1:05:46Speaker 3: Was that was that year? So it's been that that's
- 1:05:48Speaker 3: been the gym they've There have been some renovations here
- 1:05:51Speaker 3: and there, but they said that he's they've kept the
- 1:05:53Speaker 3: same floor the whole time, and they said they whatever.
- 1:05:56Speaker 3: I don't know who it was, but they said, whatever
- 1:05:58Speaker 3: you do, don't ever change. It's got incredible bounce, it's great.
- 1:06:03Speaker 3: And so so that's that's pretty incredible. And it's a
- 1:06:05Speaker 3: really fun gym. It's a small gym, but it's it's
- 1:06:09Speaker 3: you know where the players and the coaches actually sit
- 1:06:11Speaker 3: on the first row of the bleachers. Yeah, they're sitting
- 1:06:14Speaker 3: on the place. So it's really really close. Like the
- 1:06:17Speaker 3: cheerleaders have like a foot and a half between the
- 1:06:20Speaker 3: bleachers and the out of bound line, like it's they
- 1:06:23Speaker 3: are right there, and so you're really close, and there's
- 1:06:27Speaker 3: some fun balconies and different things, and it's like a
- 1:06:30Speaker 3: mini Mount Vernon gym. It's a really great gym to
- 1:06:32Speaker 3: be in, very very tight, and there's a great spot
- 1:06:35Speaker 3: underneath the oop for media that goes back a little bit,
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: kind of like an indentation. So really like going to
- 1:06:41Speaker 3: games there and you get to see really good basketball.
- 1:06:44Speaker 3: So Lenna Christian is still undefeated and conference played the
- 1:06:46Speaker 3: one loss, of course, coming to Arlington in the four
- 1:06:48Speaker 3: a game where they only lost by two. Lyndon, they
- 1:06:52Speaker 3: had a they had a big that had a tough
- 1:06:54Speaker 3: week and playing those three games in four days. Like
- 1:06:57Speaker 3: I mentioned earlier, beating Kings fifty two to forty one
- 1:07:00Speaker 3: in the show where Center early morning game, they did
- 1:07:04Speaker 3: a they did a really good job and and King's
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: a very very good team. Kings has like a six
- 1:07:09Speaker 3: to eight freshman that they started at center. Wow, which
- 1:07:12Speaker 3: is scary. Yeah, And you know you'll you'll you'll see
- 1:07:15Speaker 3: taller girls, you know that will play in the post
- 1:07:18Speaker 3: because they probably are at full height already, you know,
- 1:07:21Speaker 3: as as a freshman. But you'll see a lot of
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: six eight boys and because though you know, they'll probably
- 1:07:27Speaker 3: grow more. Last time I saw a six eight boy
- 1:07:29Speaker 3: I think was Paulo Bancaro. So and what is he now?
- 1:07:34Speaker 3: Like six ' eleven you know, yeah, I don't even know.
- 1:07:35Speaker 2: But his brother is now getting offers as a football player.
- 1:07:39Speaker 3: Is he at oday?
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: Yeah, his brother's at oday. There was a great tweet
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: from Paulo. His brother tweeted the offer from uh I
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: believe it was from North Carolina and his brother posted
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: a picture of I'm just gonna say it's him and
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: his siblings and they were in the gym at North
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: Carolina and they're all wearing North Carolina stuff. Well, Poulo
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: went to Duke Duke and Yeah, his tweet was something like, well,
- 1:08:06Speaker 2: we're gonna have to have a talk about this picture,
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: but you know, something like that. I can't remember what
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: it was, but it was hilarious. I saw it. I
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: was cracking out. But it's so funny. You know, a
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: lot of people don't know that Poulo won a state
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: championship and football as a freshman.
- 1:08:18Speaker 3: Yes, that's right. I was on the sidelines when they
- 1:08:20Speaker 3: played against Berndale. Yeah, and that was when I was
- 1:08:22Speaker 3: walking by and I texted you and I was like,
- 1:08:25Speaker 3: do you know who?
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, and oday they kind of have like an
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: unspoken thing where you're I don't know if you're required
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: or what it is, but you play a fall sport
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: as at Odell. Yeah, and so they're they're freshman teams
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: are always really good, you know, football wise, but everybody
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: pretty much knew he was. He was done after yeah. Yeah,
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: and it's he won the state championship. And I remember
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: talking to Brandon Huffman. We both kind of looked at
- 1:08:52Speaker 2: each other and go, well, that was fun, Like, that's
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: that's all we're going to get to see out of him.
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: And we know it because we knew that he was
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: going to be we we knew that he was gonna
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: have every offer in the country, you know, for basketball,
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: and it was obvious that, but he had to play
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: that fall sport, you know, and so he did it.
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: And you know, his family's legendary in the area and
- 1:09:10Speaker 2: great family from everything I've been told. And Paulo is
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: still very much Seattle, you know, in him, even though
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: he's not here playing basketball, right, they didn't play here
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: for college. But yeah, anyway, what do we got You
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: should got to talk about Linden or No, that's what
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: you're thought. You were talking about the freshman from Kings.
- 1:09:27Speaker 3: That's what I was, right, right, So they kind of
- 1:09:29Speaker 3: squeaked by that one they played. You know, they they team.
- 1:09:32Speaker 3: They seem to find a way every single time, and
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: especially starting two sophomores at guards that are both under
- 1:09:40Speaker 3: six feet tall, that's just and to be undefeated, that's man.
- 1:09:44Speaker 3: Those coaches again, great great coaches on that bench. I
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: mean they're loaded with experience. Turn around and beat Meridian
- 1:09:51Speaker 3: fifty two to forty six in the game I kind
- 1:09:52Speaker 3: of spoke of, but to go on the Meridian side
- 1:09:54Speaker 3: or to go on the Linden side of it. I
- 1:09:56Speaker 3: was at that game early on, and there was a
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: moment when a when a Linen player picked up his
- 1:10:00Speaker 3: second foul kind of early and it was a questionable
- 1:10:04Speaker 3: you know, you could go either way one of those things,
- 1:10:06Speaker 3: and he got a little animated and Brant like grabbed
- 1:10:09Speaker 3: him and said hey, and and then he had to
- 1:10:12Speaker 3: do it again, and I just thought, my goodness, like
- 1:10:14Speaker 3: the leadership that Heppner has and how he commands the
- 1:10:18Speaker 3: other kids like like they like he commands respect from
- 1:10:21Speaker 3: from the other kids, was just like I was. I mean,
- 1:10:25Speaker 3: I shouldn't be shocked. It's Brent Heppner for crying out loud,
- 1:10:28Speaker 3: but you know what I mean, like those kinds of things,
- 1:10:30Speaker 3: like he just understands the moments and he gets it
- 1:10:33Speaker 3: and and uh, what was really cool was light in
- 1:10:36Speaker 3: the game, and it was still a pretty close game.
- 1:10:38Speaker 3: There was a block shot on a three point attempt
- 1:10:40Speaker 3: there went out into a fast break and Hepner was
- 1:10:42Speaker 3: able to throw one down with two hands over James Heatall,
- 1:10:46Speaker 3: who was right in his face. Too, and they're both
- 1:10:47Speaker 3: about six six, so that was a good way kind
- 1:10:51Speaker 3: of for him to close it out and pick up
- 1:10:55Speaker 3: the win there. And then the game against Blaine. Like
- 1:10:56Speaker 3: I said, Blaine gave them everything they could handle and
- 1:10:59Speaker 3: Lindon playing a third game in four days, it kind
- 1:11:02Speaker 3: of showed at the free throw line. I think it's
- 1:11:04Speaker 3: the only game all year they shot under fifty under
- 1:11:07Speaker 3: fifty percent from the foul line, which is Lindon does
- 1:11:10Speaker 3: not do that. They are always right at that three quarters,
- 1:11:13Speaker 3: right around seventy five percent year round every game. And
- 1:11:18Speaker 3: but they again they champions, find a way to win.
- 1:11:20Speaker 3: And of course they got a big week coming up,
- 1:11:23Speaker 3: which we'll talk about a little later.
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: That is it for the weekly wrap up, I guess
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: for as far as basketball goes the standings and the scores,
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: let's talk stat leaders, Tyler and once again brought to
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: you by Acceleration Driving School in Linden, give them a call.
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: Three six zero seven four six four five six seven Tyler.
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: We will start with points per.
- 1:11:46Speaker 3: Game, Yeah, gain and Dykstra Linda Christian. He had an
- 1:11:50Speaker 3: off game against Burlington where I think he even scored
- 1:11:53Speaker 3: single digits for the only time this year. But then
- 1:11:55Speaker 3: he turned around and put up thirty two against knicksac Vallet.
- 1:11:58Speaker 3: So he's right at twenty four point two points per
- 1:12:01Speaker 3: game right now. Again, twenty is pretty rare. Twenty four
- 1:12:05Speaker 3: point two is you start looking at you know, maybe
- 1:12:09Speaker 3: ten twelve guys, maybe more, I don't know all time
- 1:12:14Speaker 3: in Walkin County history for a single season points per
- 1:12:16Speaker 3: game that have scored that many points per game.
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: Stick with Living Christian to hear for rebounds per game, Tyler, Yeah.
- 1:12:23Speaker 3: Caiden Veldman still holding that it dropped a little bit.
- 1:12:25Speaker 3: I think it went from nine point nine to nine
- 1:12:27Speaker 3: point eight. But he's like a full rebound and a
- 1:12:29Speaker 3: half above the next player. Now, so a lot of
- 1:12:32Speaker 3: guys are. You know, It's funny how it is where
- 1:12:35Speaker 3: you start playing other opponents and once now everybody's played
- 1:12:39Speaker 3: everybody else, things kind of start moving around a little
- 1:12:43Speaker 3: bit and separating, and because a guy might be loading
- 1:12:46Speaker 3: up on rebounds but they haven't played Linden or Lynden
- 1:12:49Speaker 3: Christian yet, you know, and then they have a few
- 1:12:51Speaker 3: off games and then it goes down a little bit,
- 1:12:52Speaker 3: and that that's what happens. So the lucky thing for
- 1:12:55Speaker 3: kan Veldman is he doesn't have to play against himself.
- 1:12:58Speaker 3: Now there will be a game against so became development
- 1:13:01Speaker 3: sitting there at nine point eight rebounds a game. Just softmare?
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: How about Well, I guess we just stick with what
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: we do every week. Assists and steals per game, Tyler,
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: same guy.
- 1:13:11Speaker 3: Yeah, Jerome Toby. That game against Lakewood was a little
- 1:13:14Speaker 3: rougher obviously with that kind of talent and everything, So
- 1:13:19Speaker 3: his numbers he's now below seven assists per game at
- 1:13:22Speaker 3: six point eight, which also means that Kannon dykshos right
- 1:13:26Speaker 3: on his tail at six point six, which is incredible
- 1:13:29Speaker 3: when you're second in the county and assists, but you're
- 1:13:31Speaker 3: also leading and scoring, so you have your hands and
- 1:13:35Speaker 3: a lot of things offensive wise. And Jerome Toby steals
- 1:13:38Speaker 3: per game. He's over a steal ahead of the next guy,
- 1:13:41Speaker 3: who I think is like at two point nine. He's
- 1:13:44Speaker 3: at four point one. Incredible, just really quick hands. Remind
- 1:13:50Speaker 3: you know, it reminds me a lot of how Brooklyn
- 1:13:52Speaker 3: Lrabye is very athletic, very fast hands and almost can
- 1:13:56Speaker 3: see things before they happen, and it's almost like he
- 1:13:59Speaker 3: kind of he kind of bits you into certain things too.
- 1:14:02Speaker 3: So really really fun to watch and again just a junior.
- 1:14:07Speaker 2: How about blocks per game, Yeah.
- 1:14:10Speaker 3: Caden Veldman separating himself a little bit. Baine Mitchell's on
- 1:14:14Speaker 3: his tail from from Seahome. Both are over two blocks
- 1:14:18Speaker 3: a game. Kel Reardon has had a couple of big
- 1:14:21Speaker 3: games as well. He's getting closer to two blocks per game,
- 1:14:24Speaker 3: but Caden Veldman closer to two and a half now
- 1:14:26Speaker 3: at two point four, so he's he's holding on to
- 1:14:29Speaker 3: that and very very impressive to see. He's just one
- 1:14:32Speaker 3: of those guys that it's like every time, like you
- 1:14:35Speaker 3: see a lot of you know, plays in the paint
- 1:14:38Speaker 3: where it's blocked and you know, sometimes there's a foul,
- 1:14:40Speaker 3: sometimes there's not. It's like there's never a foul called
- 1:14:42Speaker 3: when he does it. And that's what's really impressive is
- 1:14:45Speaker 3: he knows how to do it the right way where
- 1:14:47Speaker 3: he's not using the body. It's all just timing, athletic
- 1:14:50Speaker 3: ability and hands stuff like.
- 1:14:52Speaker 2: That and field col percentage. Tyler. We've got a new
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: name for that, but an old name because he's going
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: for almost his own personal cripple crown here.
- 1:15:01Speaker 3: He is. He is Cayden Veldman now taking over the
- 1:15:03Speaker 3: lead here at sixty eight point six percent.
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: Uh.
- 1:15:07Speaker 3: You know, his buddy Brady Akervian was was was right
- 1:15:10Speaker 3: there for a long time over seventy percent. But going
- 1:15:14Speaker 3: against Kel Reardon and Kyden Veldman this past week, uh
- 1:15:20Speaker 3: knocked him down a little bit. I think Akerman's riding
- 1:15:23Speaker 3: around like sixty four sixty five percent. Veldman holding strong
- 1:15:26Speaker 3: at sixty eight point six. He's ninety four for one
- 1:15:29Speaker 3: hundred and thirty seven on the year.
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: Three point percentage. Another new name, but we're gonna stay
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: with Lynn and Christian.
- 1:15:36Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's and if you if you say that
- 1:15:39Speaker 3: and people are listening, they're gonna say, oh Gannon Dyksterra
- 1:15:41Speaker 3: triicularly or oh Gunner Dykstra may have taken the lead. Nope,
- 1:15:44Speaker 3: it's Luke van Coten. And that's what's really cool is
- 1:15:47Speaker 3: that he's probably the fifth option on that team. We've
- 1:15:51Speaker 3: had multiple players from Lennon Christian that have been leading
- 1:15:53Speaker 3: this this category. Dawson Heinz has led it, but Luke
- 1:15:57Speaker 3: van Coten is kind of that is kind of like
- 1:16:00Speaker 3: that unsung guy who, like I said, he he he
- 1:16:03Speaker 3: jumps ball center to start the game, but he kind
- 1:16:06Speaker 3: of can play. He's a great, great passer in the post,
- 1:16:10Speaker 3: like in the paint. He's really good at getting it
- 1:16:12Speaker 3: the high post and then dumping it to Caden Veldman
- 1:16:14Speaker 3: down low. He's about six foot five, but he's got great,
- 1:16:17Speaker 3: great touch. You know, thirty six out of eighty three
- 1:16:20Speaker 3: from three point landing now at forty three point four percent.
- 1:16:24Speaker 3: That's pretty incredible when you start looking at like your
- 1:16:26Speaker 3: top three point shooters, and these are guys that are
- 1:16:28Speaker 3: like six five sixty six, you know, like Luke Van Cooten,
- 1:16:31Speaker 3: Bran Hepner, Joanah Brolowski, Hunter Wills, these guys are six
- 1:16:35Speaker 3: five or taller. That's really really incredible to see just
- 1:16:39Speaker 3: because it's usually you know, the little guards that are
- 1:16:42Speaker 3: that are shooting it really well. And uh but that's
- 1:16:45Speaker 3: another scary thing. And he's that he's gonna be that
- 1:16:47Speaker 3: X factor for them to go deep into the playoffs
- 1:16:49Speaker 3: because he's the guy that's gonna be left alone. And
- 1:16:51Speaker 3: if he hits those shots, especially when he's in the corner,
- 1:16:54Speaker 3: which is kind of where he's deadly from, man, it's
- 1:16:56Speaker 3: gonna it's gonna roll. It's he's gonna get them going.
- 1:16:59Speaker 3: And and he's one of the few seniors. I think
- 1:17:01Speaker 3: he's only three seniors on the team. So just one
- 1:17:04Speaker 3: of those unsung guys that has always worked really hard
- 1:17:07Speaker 3: and he's got a spot in the starting lineup now
- 1:17:08Speaker 3: and he's playing a huge role.
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: Lastly, here we've got free throw percentage. And I'll tell
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: you what, Tyler, it's nice to finally talk about somebody
- 1:17:16Speaker 2: from a school other than Lummy or Lyndon Christian. That's true.
- 1:17:21Speaker 3: Joan and Perlowski Ferndale. He's been battling back and forth
- 1:17:24Speaker 3: with Bran Hepner with this with the free throw the
- 1:17:26Speaker 3: top free throw shooters of the of the area. He's
- 1:17:29Speaker 3: an eighty seven point two percent now, he's only missed
- 1:17:32Speaker 3: five free throws out of thirty nine. And again, you know,
- 1:17:36Speaker 3: I mean he's six y five sixty six and and
- 1:17:40Speaker 3: but to have that kind of touch, that's really really incredible,
- 1:17:43Speaker 3: you know, I mean, I you know, I expect him
- 1:17:45Speaker 3: to be in the top, you know, leaders of field
- 1:17:47Speaker 3: goal percentage, but free throw percentage, that really that really
- 1:17:49Speaker 3: says a lot because those big guys, they get hammered
- 1:17:52Speaker 3: on a lot. You get to go to the line
- 1:17:53Speaker 3: a lot. And Burneill's gonna be really happy when he
- 1:17:55Speaker 3: goes to the.
- 1:17:56Speaker 2: Line really quickly. Tyler, if I said to you, who's
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: the best three point or free throw shooter of all time?
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: Can you give me the top five in NBA history
- 1:18:07Speaker 2: NBA history, well, NBA slash aba. But I'll just tell
- 1:18:11Speaker 2: you that the first five are all from the NBA
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: and all they're all guys that we know too.
- 1:18:18Speaker 3: Yeah. Well forever it was Rick Berry and he is.
- 1:18:22Speaker 3: He was like he's eighth now, so that that's the thing.
- 1:18:25Speaker 3: It's like, man, so they're all over ninety percent. I
- 1:18:27Speaker 3: think Rick Barry was read at ninety percent.
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: Well above Rick Berry, you've got I'll just give you
- 1:18:32Speaker 2: the next two. Okay, you've got Ray Allen at eighty
- 1:18:35Speaker 2: nine thirty nine, Chauncey Billups at eighty nine forty, and
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: then the first two above them. I'm not going to
- 1:18:42Speaker 2: give you their names, but they're both in the eighty
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: nine's also.
- 1:18:46Speaker 3: Yeah, so.
- 1:18:48Speaker 2: Eighty nine, yeah, well Steph Curry, he's number one, ninety
- 1:18:52Speaker 2: one oh five.
- 1:18:54Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:18:56Speaker 2: Are they all still playing or one is still playing?
- 1:19:00Speaker 2: The other three are not. I can give you like, well,
- 1:19:05Speaker 2: let's let's let's have you give me something here and
- 1:19:07Speaker 2: then yeah, yeah, give you a teams.
- 1:19:09Speaker 3: I know Larry Bird is pretty high on that list,
- 1:19:11Speaker 3: but I don't know if.
- 1:19:12Speaker 2: He's Larry Bird is fourteenth.
- 1:19:14Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:19:16Speaker 2: There's a couple of surprising ones on here too, like
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: names that I just did not expect to see here,
- 1:19:21Speaker 2: you know, Like I'll give you what Scott Skiles, Yeah,
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: Skyles was great, but I just don't expect to see
- 1:19:26Speaker 2: Scott Skiles, you know.
- 1:19:28Speaker 3: Yeah, he holds the NBA record for assists in a game.
- 1:19:30Speaker 3: He had thirty assists in a game, and I think
- 1:19:33Speaker 3: it was before Shaq got there, which is crazy. That
- 1:19:36Speaker 3: is great in Orlando, Holy cow. I know, I'm like,
- 1:19:43Speaker 3: as Durant one of them.
- 1:19:46Speaker 2: No, he is sixteenth.
- 1:19:48Speaker 3: How about Dirk Noavitsky.
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: Dirk Novitsky is seventeenth.
- 1:19:53Speaker 3: Oh man, So I'll give you a clue. The one
- 1:19:56Speaker 3: guy that is who was awesome was Ricky Pierce. Was great,
- 1:19:59Speaker 3: but I don't Key Pierce is twenty third. Yeah nice.
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: The guy that is left still playing currently plays for Milwaukee,
- 1:20:07Speaker 2: which probably won't help you too much, but it was
- 1:20:10Speaker 2: a big trade in the last year. Yeah.
- 1:20:13Speaker 3: Yeah, what's his name that played at Portland?
- 1:20:16Speaker 2: Yep, Damian Lillard.
- 1:20:18Speaker 3: Damian Lillard yes.
- 1:20:20Speaker 2: Now the other three two of them were point guards.
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: One one was a point guard with the Calves. The
- 1:20:28Speaker 2: other one was with most notably to me, probably the Suns.
- 1:20:33Speaker 3: Uh oh, well, Mark Price.
- 1:20:36Speaker 2: Mark Price is third, ninety point three nine.
- 1:20:40Speaker 3: Boy, that guy could shoot, Holy cow. He's an underrated player,
- 1:20:44Speaker 3: you know, he really big time. He was awesome. And
- 1:20:48Speaker 3: then with the point guard for the Suns. Yes, most
- 1:20:51Speaker 3: notably with the Sun, Steve Nash.
- 1:20:53Speaker 2: Steve Nash, so Snash is third Price or excuse me,
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: Nash is second. Price is third, third, Lillard is fourth,
- 1:21:01Speaker 2: and then last is a guy that I loved even
- 1:21:06Speaker 2: though he was not a sonic and he from Croatia,
- 1:21:14Speaker 2: Aakovic Stoyakovich.
- 1:21:17Speaker 3: Fifth all time night Wow, yeah, I know. Calvin Murphy
- 1:21:21Speaker 3: is up on that list.
- 1:21:21Speaker 2: Calvin Murphy is tenth in eighty nine point one six.
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: JJ Reddick is ninth, Rick Berry is eighth.
- 1:21:28Speaker 3: Ray Berry underhanded shooter.
- 1:21:31Speaker 2: Underhanded, underrated. Scott Skiles was eleven, Miller regular, twelve, Kyrie thirteen.
- 1:21:39Speaker 2: Kyrie irving up there actually surprises me a little bit.
- 1:21:41Speaker 2: I don't think of him as like a free throw guy,
- 1:21:43Speaker 2: you know, right, he's a ballhandler, extraordinary Hersey Hawkins thirty fifth.
- 1:21:48Speaker 3: Knuckle knucklehead too, Hersey Hawkins, Yeah, Key.
- 1:21:51Speaker 2: Vanderway twenty eighth. Just thrown out names that I see
- 1:21:55Speaker 2: here now, Chris Mallin forty one ye, Luke Rittan now
- 1:21:58Speaker 2: are forty six beautiful eighty six point two three? Yeah? Yeah,
- 1:22:04Speaker 2: I mean that's uh. How about Wally Zerbiak? I just
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: want to say Zerbiak Tyler? Can he spell Wally Zerbiak?
- 1:22:11Speaker 3: S z okay, let me start again, s z c
- 1:22:19Speaker 3: z E R B I A K.
- 1:22:21Speaker 2: That is correct? Fifty sixth and fifty seventh Tyler. Two
- 1:22:25Speaker 2: guys that I recognize from Sonics times, but one guy
- 1:22:31Speaker 2: maybe not known nearly as much for Sonics as he
- 1:22:34Speaker 2: was another team. Let me just make sure that I'm
- 1:22:37Speaker 2: thinking of it right. Well, I guess maybe I don't know.
- 1:22:40Speaker 2: He's definitely I think of it more as a Boston guy,
- 1:22:44Speaker 2: but very he was small. He could shoot the crap
- 1:22:47Speaker 2: out of the ball though. Dana Barrows Dana Barrows fifty
- 1:22:50Speaker 2: sixth and then Downtown Freddie Brown seven Yeah, kind of over.
- 1:22:57Speaker 3: You know why I can spell zerbiak? Is there used
- 1:23:00Speaker 3: to be a thing where they give out Sonics tickets
- 1:23:02Speaker 3: on the radio, and it was a game called Sonic
- 1:23:05Speaker 3: Spelling Bee, So I really learned how to spell like
- 1:23:09Speaker 3: lumida o ya deja and Batali Puta Panko and Wally Zervak.
- 1:23:16Speaker 2: And Vladimir Redvanovich.
- 1:23:18Speaker 3: Yes, Vladimir red Monovich exactly. Yeah, yeah, I got a
- 1:23:22Speaker 3: picture with Vladimir Redmanovic and yeah, I know I got
- 1:23:25Speaker 3: I got one with him. I took a picture of
- 1:23:27Speaker 3: my buddy with a lumidae oya dej But I got
- 1:23:30Speaker 3: a picture with Vladimir red Monovic.
- 1:23:32Speaker 2: And Tyler just to make you happy before we move
- 1:23:34Speaker 2: on to a new topic here in at seventy nine
- 1:23:37Speaker 2: Spudweb Oh.
- 1:23:39Speaker 3: Beautiful nineteen eighty six Slam Dunk Champion.
- 1:23:43Speaker 2: Yeah, which is still wild because I think it wasn't
- 1:23:45Speaker 2: he listed at like five six.
- 1:23:47Speaker 3: Five Yeah, I mean yeah, five six, Yeah.
- 1:23:49Speaker 2: That might even be with shoes on, you know what
- 1:23:51Speaker 2: I mean? Right? Anyway, that is yeah, we did free throws. Yeah,
- 1:23:56Speaker 2: that's how we got on the topic. That is the
- 1:23:59Speaker 2: stat leaders from Always Basketball Again brought to you by
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: Acceleration Driving School. And we would also like to say
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: thank you to most Seri Construction and Edily and Darry
- 1:24:07Speaker 2: for their support on the boys' basketball side. Let's talk
- 1:24:10Speaker 2: players of the week Tyler, and that has brought to
- 1:24:11Speaker 2: you by Anytime Fitness and Linden, Linden North and Ferndale.
- 1:24:15Speaker 2: We've got girls basketball Tyler, who is the Anytime Fitness
- 1:24:18Speaker 2: Girls Basketball player of the week.
- 1:24:19Speaker 3: There were some big time candidates, Julia Fox of Ferndale,
- 1:24:23Speaker 3: Addison Ktman a Squalicum, and you know, I was looking
- 1:24:27Speaker 3: over the Blain roster, you know, Aleah Bowman. I mean
- 1:24:29Speaker 3: they you know, they won two out of three, which
- 1:24:31Speaker 3: which was huge. But Eileena Raebang of Lummy, she she
- 1:24:36Speaker 3: really had a great week. You know. She scored twenty
- 1:24:38Speaker 3: eight points in the first win against Lopez Island hitting
- 1:24:42Speaker 3: I think she had five three pointers in that game.
- 1:24:45Speaker 3: But she's their leading rebounder too, and she did a
- 1:24:47Speaker 3: lot of good things in that second game, a lot
- 1:24:48Speaker 3: of steals. I think she had like nine steals in
- 1:24:50Speaker 3: that second game, led them in plays six sixteen points
- 1:24:53Speaker 3: in that in that one and very active player. A
- 1:24:56Speaker 3: transfer from Seahome. She played a little bit of Sea
- 1:24:59Speaker 3: Home at I should say a little bit at Sea
- 1:25:01Speaker 3: Home last year and ended up transferring to Lemmy in
- 1:25:05Speaker 3: the middle of the year and really helped that squad
- 1:25:08Speaker 3: out as a sophomore. As a junior, now she's one
- 1:25:10Speaker 3: of the more dynamic players. So Eileena Raebang of Lemon
- 1:25:14Speaker 3: Nation is your Anytime Fitness Girls Basketball Player of the Week.
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: All right, he will give me the Anytime Fitness Boys
- 1:25:20Speaker 2: Basketball Player of the Week.
- 1:25:22Speaker 3: And this is kind of a rarity. I don't do this,
- 1:25:24Speaker 3: but I actually picked a player that didn't win a
- 1:25:27Speaker 3: game this week, but Tallon Jenkins went off. And there
- 1:25:30Speaker 3: were three things that really stood out for me. The
- 1:25:33Speaker 3: game against Lyndon, he scored thirty two points and I
- 1:25:36Speaker 3: think he went thirteen to fourteen from the foul line,
- 1:25:38Speaker 3: and he had a ton of rebounds, and I think
- 1:25:40Speaker 3: he played every minute of that game and he was
- 1:25:43Speaker 3: the big reason why they were still in it at
- 1:25:45Speaker 3: the very end.
- 1:25:46Speaker 2: And that's that.
- 1:25:47Speaker 3: Tells me a lot. The game against Lakewood, he scored
- 1:25:49Speaker 3: twenty points. In that game. They were face guard and
- 1:25:52Speaker 3: double team and everything they could against him, and he
- 1:25:54Speaker 3: still found ways to get the ball off. And the
- 1:25:57Speaker 3: third thing that really stood out was he was a
- 1:25:58Speaker 3: guest on the raid, on the on the zone and
- 1:26:01Speaker 3: he was just he handled himself so well, and he
- 1:26:03Speaker 3: actually sang the national anthem on the radio. Why they
- 1:26:07Speaker 3: were talking about how much he loves the national anthem,
- 1:26:09Speaker 3: and you know when you're on the radio and people
- 1:26:11Speaker 3: say stuff like, well, why don't you give us a
- 1:26:13Speaker 3: few lines or you know, you're not expecting the other
- 1:26:15Speaker 3: person to do it. And he's sang the whole national
- 1:26:18Speaker 3: anthem on live radio. So I give him a ton
- 1:26:21Speaker 3: of props for that. That was That was really cool,
- 1:26:24Speaker 3: Talon Jenkins, you deserve it man. Anytime Fitness Boys Basketball player.
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: Of the Week. There's a public address announcer in our area, Tyler,
- 1:26:31Speaker 2: that sings the national anthem before boys and girls basketball.
- 1:26:35Speaker 2: And I didn't know that, And I'm standing at the
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: game and I'm looking around, going.
- 1:26:39Speaker 3: Who the heck is singing this thing?
- 1:26:41Speaker 2: Like this is great? Like because you know what, I
- 1:26:43Speaker 2: don't know about hup there, but down here you don't
- 1:26:46Speaker 2: get a lot of actual soles. Yeah. Usually it's either
- 1:26:52Speaker 2: the band or they just play a recording like a
- 1:26:54Speaker 2: bothel We typically play the I play the Marine Corps version,
- 1:26:57Speaker 2: yeah of it. And you know, so I to say there, going, wow,
- 1:27:01Speaker 2: whoever it is has got a great voice, and then
- 1:27:02Speaker 2: I kind of like poked my head around and I went,
- 1:27:04Speaker 2: wait a minute, it was the PA guy. I don't
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: know that I've ever seen that before. But anyway, that
- 1:27:10Speaker 2: is the Boys and Girls basketball Players of the Week again,
- 1:27:13Speaker 2: brought to you by Anytime Fitness, an Lynden North and
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: Ferndale Tyler. We've got one last thing here before we
- 1:27:20Speaker 2: head out intriguing games of the Week, and there's a
- 1:27:24Speaker 2: couple of big ones on Saturday. But Thursday there's kind
- 1:27:27Speaker 2: of a cool event going on.
- 1:27:29Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a it's a fun week. It's almost like
- 1:27:31Speaker 3: it landed into like rivalry week or something like that.
- 1:27:35Speaker 3: But what's really cool is Thursday there's the Belling Home
- 1:27:38Speaker 3: Series and that's something that's been going on for a while.
- 1:27:41Speaker 3: I kind of stumbled across it last year. I went
- 1:27:43Speaker 3: to go cover Bellymca home at Sea Home. It was
- 1:27:46Speaker 3: a doubleheader and I was gonna catch the end of
- 1:27:48Speaker 3: the girls game, beginning of the boys game and just
- 1:27:50Speaker 3: kind of get some pictures of each one. And when
- 1:27:53Speaker 3: I went there, I mean it was jam packed. I
- 1:27:56Speaker 3: never saw the gym field like that.
- 1:27:58Speaker 2: You're like this.
- 1:27:58Speaker 3: Student stud section was just loaded with costumes and they
- 1:28:03Speaker 3: had like props and they had all these things, and
- 1:28:06Speaker 3: what I didn't know is that it was an actual
- 1:28:08Speaker 3: competition where people voted on like best outfits in both
- 1:28:12Speaker 3: school spirit and all these things. And they called it
- 1:28:14Speaker 3: the Belling Home Series. And they've been doing this for
- 1:28:17Speaker 3: a little while. So that's gonna be this Thursday, six o'clock,
- 1:28:20Speaker 3: starting with the girls game followed by the boys game
- 1:28:22Speaker 3: at seven thirty at Bellingham High School. If you don't
- 1:28:25Speaker 3: have anything going on, I tell you what. It is
- 1:28:27Speaker 3: really cool to see. Uh, they got a big gym.
- 1:28:30Speaker 3: They can fill it up. I'm really excited to check
- 1:28:33Speaker 3: it out. It's gonna be. It gives it just has great,
- 1:28:36Speaker 3: great emotion. I took a great picture last year at
- 1:28:39Speaker 3: that game of Braddock Duckworth going in looked like he
- 1:28:43Speaker 3: was gonna looks like he's gonna slam it. And but
- 1:28:46Speaker 3: but Gay van Hofwagen looks like he was taking a
- 1:28:49Speaker 3: charge and like it almost kind of looks like the
- 1:28:51Speaker 3: like the Tom Chambers, you know, dunk and and but
- 1:28:56Speaker 3: the great thing about the picture was not that I
- 1:28:58Speaker 3: actually took a clear picture for but it actually had
- 1:29:01Speaker 3: like the Coole crowd in the backgrounds. You could see
- 1:29:04Speaker 3: like every seat is taken with all the students and
- 1:29:06Speaker 3: all the different colors and everything, it looked really cool
- 1:29:09Speaker 3: and so I'm really excited to check that out. That's
- 1:29:12Speaker 3: gonna be awesome.
- 1:29:12Speaker 2: On Thursday Saturday, Boys and Girls Linden Linden Christian. The
- 1:29:18Speaker 2: Girls are at LC. That's a two thirty game. The
- 1:29:22Speaker 2: Boys at Linden that's a seven to fifteen game. Rumor is, Tyler,
- 1:29:26Speaker 2: you're gonna sprint between the two schools and time yourself
- 1:29:29Speaker 2: between the games.
- 1:29:31Speaker 3: Well, rumor is there's probably a you know, you have
- 1:29:33Speaker 3: to get on the pass list if you're a medium
- 1:29:35Speaker 3: member just to get into the game. So I got
- 1:29:37Speaker 3: to figure that out. But man, it's that game. I
- 1:29:41Speaker 3: mean both matchups, both teams are undefeated in the conference play. Yeah,
- 1:29:47Speaker 3: I mean, how how much better does it get than that?
- 1:29:49Speaker 3: And then you know they have games during the week,
- 1:29:52Speaker 3: so they got to take care of business during the week.
- 1:29:53Speaker 3: But if they can get there and they can and
- 1:29:56Speaker 3: stay defeated for that, those are gonna be some amazing game.
- 1:30:00Speaker 3: I mean, I don't even want to try to like
- 1:30:03Speaker 3: say there's a favorite here or there, but man, they're
- 1:30:07Speaker 3: just gonna be really really good games that It's gonna
- 1:30:11Speaker 3: be packed the game at LC and it's a small gym,
- 1:30:15Speaker 3: so I can't even imagine what that's gonna feel like.
- 1:30:18Speaker 3: But at Linden they can hold about five thousand people
- 1:30:21Speaker 3: and it's gonna be or maybe maybe four thousand. It's
- 1:30:24Speaker 3: a lot of people and those those those bleachers go
- 1:30:26Speaker 3: up for a long time, and and it's.
- 1:30:29Speaker 2: Gonna be it. Of the Linden gym, that's gotta be
- 1:30:32Speaker 2: one of the bigger high school gyms. Like ours is
- 1:30:37Speaker 2: ours is pretty good size of Bothel, but that Linden
- 1:30:39Speaker 2: Gym is unbelievably big. Like I was shocked when I
- 1:30:43Speaker 2: saw pictures of it.
- 1:30:44Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was built in seventy seven something like that. Wow.
- 1:30:48Speaker 3: So I mean, they they they knew what they had coming.
- 1:30:50Speaker 3: I mean, Linden had built a big time you know
- 1:30:55Speaker 3: program already, you know when he back to back titles
- 1:30:58Speaker 3: with Brent Hepner's grandfather in the early sixties.
- 1:31:00Speaker 2: So they they they they.
- 1:31:02Speaker 3: Had something going where they could bring a lot of
- 1:31:04Speaker 3: people in. Uh. Jim Carberry was actually telling me stories
- 1:31:07Speaker 3: about the old gym and how small it was and
- 1:31:09Speaker 3: how different it was back then, and how packed that
- 1:31:11Speaker 3: would be. And you're standing right on the line all
- 1:31:13Speaker 3: the time. And and uh and I love learning about
- 1:31:16Speaker 3: some of these older gyms and things like that, and
- 1:31:19Speaker 3: and I'm kind of you know, there's just more stuff
- 1:31:22Speaker 3: to always learn about. But uh, but yeah, the the new,
- 1:31:25Speaker 3: the the Jake Mayberry Gymnasium is huge, and it's gonna
- 1:31:29Speaker 3: be completely Every seat is gonna be accounted for. It's
- 1:31:32Speaker 3: gonna be loud, it's gonna be it's gonna be, it's
- 1:31:34Speaker 3: gonna be crazy. I mean, Michayla's going to those games,
- 1:31:37Speaker 3: thank goodness. It's it's just not it's not the best
- 1:31:41Speaker 3: thing for me to handle. I love watching them online.
- 1:31:46Speaker 3: But but we'll see. I mean it's gonna be. It's
- 1:31:50Speaker 3: gonna be fantastic. And uh, I just you know that's
- 1:31:54Speaker 3: those are the games. I mean those are basically state
- 1:31:57Speaker 3: titled feeling that that the they have that and I
- 1:32:01Speaker 3: know they're not for the state tylers, different classifications, all
- 1:32:03Speaker 3: that stuff, but it's the same city. It's these kids
- 1:32:06Speaker 3: know each other so well. The coaches are just outrageous.
- 1:32:09Speaker 3: I mean, this is this is big time stuff, and
- 1:32:13Speaker 3: it's gonna be the best games in the state for
- 1:32:15Speaker 3: that for that day, no doubt.
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: About it. I'm looking at a picture here, Tyler. You've
- 1:32:19Speaker 2: got the Maiden Linden court, and then you've got a
- 1:32:24Speaker 2: whole nother court that is underneath the bleachers, and the
- 1:32:27Speaker 2: bleachers go all the way back up against it. So
- 1:32:29Speaker 2: that makes me think that there's three courts available in
- 1:32:32Speaker 2: that gym if they put all the bleachers back. Yes,
- 1:32:36Speaker 2: so one set of bleachers is the width of a
- 1:32:39Speaker 2: basketball court. Yeah, I mean that's huge, Like that is
- 1:32:43Speaker 2: really really big. And it's and we're talking about a
- 1:32:46Speaker 2: two way school here, you know what I mean like
- 1:32:47Speaker 2: that right, Yeah, I don't know. I wish I could
- 1:32:50Speaker 2: get up there. I'm not gonna be able to do it.
