dread you know, looking at the schedule back in you know, July or
0:43
whatever, but it's that it's that crazy week of ten games and so this
0:47
is a this is a big one where we talk about a lot of stuff.
0:50
I dread it. I just know. Uh Hey, let's give a
0:55
thank you to landon Handstead of oh wait, excuse me, landon Handstead from
0:58
Mount Baker High School. Thanks coach for the intro there today. That young
1:03
man is having himself a nice little season there. It also helps when you
1:08
know he's got a quarterback that's doing some good things. You guys up for
1:11
a talk of party, Tyler. We also need to give thanks to Kurt
1:18
Mayberry Farm Kurt Mayberry Farm dot com is the website. Uh yeah, I
1:23
mean Tyler. We've talked about him a lot, fourth generation family owned and
1:26
operate a berry farm committed to growing the highest quality berries strawberries, raspberries,
1:30
blueberries. And as I always say, I'm getting hungry and I just am
1:36
established nineteen forty four, Tyler, how old? How old were you in
1:38
nineteen forty four? I would have been negative thirty five. That is some
1:44
unbelievably fast math. Like unbelievably fast math. I did not expect that.
1:52
I love math. What can I say which would mean I would be what
1:53
negative thirty nine or something? Yeah? Yeah, not bad, not bad.
2:00
Actually, my dad wasn't even born yet. There's another twelve years before
2:04
he was even born. But yeah, Kurt Mayberry Farm dot com. It's
2:07
Kurt with a C at Mayberry m A B R R Y Farm dot com.
2:13
Tyler, we have, as you mentioned, ten games to talk about,
2:15
starting with a game on Thursday that is South wildby two and one the
2:21
Falcons coming to town to take on the Bellingham at BayHawks, who are oh
2:23
and three. That game is at Civic Stadium, seven pm. Tyler,
2:27
you will be there. What are you expecting that of this one. Well,
2:30
I you know, I expect Bellingham to play a great first half.
2:35
That has been the case the first three games. The thing is they have
2:38
to play all four quarters. They have to limit turnovers, and that's I
2:42
mean, that's just them going to be the key. I mean, you
2:44
ask any coach and they are always gonna say, well, we can't turn
2:46
over the ball. And it's a cliche, it's a broken record and you
2:50
hear it all the time, but it's the biggest truth there is. I
2:52
mean, you know, Bellingham can put up points, they can move the
2:54
ball, they can do all those things, and they play decent defense.
3:00
They just give up too many short fields and stuff like that. So I
3:02
think they found something pretty special with holding Bates last week. I know coach
3:07
Leonard loves to throw the ball. But if they you know, if they're
3:10
able to break out to the lead, maybe they'll lean on the run a
3:14
little bit more in the second half and just try to you know, shorten
3:19
the clock and get that first win in front of the home crowd. Thursday
3:22
nights are weird because you just you kind of never know, you know,
3:24
if how many people are going to show up and stuff like that. But
3:29
I'm calling all the you know, Walcom County teams out there. If you're
3:31
not having an evening practice, which I know a lot of Thursday night,
3:35
you know, a lot of teams do getting ready for the next night.
3:38
You know, come on out and watch this game. And it'd be it'd
3:40
be really cool to be out there. And and but I'll be out there,
3:44
and I'm not too sure if I'm gonna be on the sidelines or if
3:46
I'll be up in the booth or what's gonna happen. But I expects to
3:51
be a you know, probably a shootout, just like all the Bellingham games
3:54
have been. Bellingham's exciting to watch. You know, they move the ball.
3:58
Josh Leonard could wing it fifty six yards. They love to throw the
4:01
ball down the field, which a lot of not a lot of teams do,
4:04
And I expect to be I expect this to be a pretty pretty good
4:09
one. Yeah. And if you are out there, you can find Tyler
4:13
and at the end of the podcast here we will have a little saying that
4:15
you can give him and get yourself a free sticker, huh m. And
4:20
maybe eventually down the line it will be a free apparel or something, because
4:24
we've got that coming out here soon too, Hunt Tyler. Oh man,
4:27
I'm excited to tell you guys about this one. There is apperil on its
4:30
way. I'm gonna say less than two weeks away from being available. Hats,
4:34
goodies, T shirts. I am excited. You know. The apparel
4:39
company actually asked me like, well how many you know? They said something
4:43
like, well, how long do you want it to last, like the
4:46
store to be open for And I said, and they said they traditionally do
4:49
two weeks. And I said, you're gonna sell out in two weeks And
4:53
they said, but how well, I said, You're gonna sell out because
4:56
I know how how passionate this crowd has. Everybody's been asked it can be
5:00
about apparel and stuff like that, and so finally it's going to be here.
5:02
So I am so excited to be able to launch that. So I'm
5:05
glad you mentioned that. Yeah, we should have talked about it before,
5:09
but we're not real good at what we do. Yes Thursday, South we
5:14
would be coming to town to take on Bellingham seven pm Civic Stadium Friday,
5:17
Tyler, We've got seven games to talk about here. The first one kind
5:20
of came up out of nowhere. Today Meridian two and one, they will
5:24
head down to Seattle to take on Nathan Hale, who is zero and three
5:28
six pm. This game was originally supposed to be at Friday Harbor. Friday
5:31
Harbor backed out, Nathan Hale stepped up said, hey, we're the Raiders,
5:34
let's go. Let's do our thing, Meridian. Though you know,
5:40
this is obviously a short week now for them, you know, they don't
5:43
get as much time to prepare and then a six o'clock game down in Seattle.
5:47
If you are planning on going, leave tomorrow because traffic is awful,
5:53
So leave well today would be tuesdays when we're recording. If you're some guy
6:00
to the podcast by the way, Tyler, which you can do. You
6:02
could get this on Wednesday, or you could get this on what Friday morning,
6:06
No excuse Thursday morning, that's right, because there's the Thursday game.
6:10
So whenever you're hearing this, if you're planning on going, yeah, get
6:14
out the door, because traffic is going to be brutal, especially six o'clock.
6:16
That's even worse, you know, because really the Friday rush hour in
6:21
the Seattle areas like well it's like noon, it's like it's like two to
6:28
six. That's kind of what it is. But yeah, Tyler, I
6:32
mean, I guess I gotta ask this Nathan Hale. I mean, how
6:35
many times has anybody from Walcom County played Nathan Hall. I can't imagine there's
6:39
very many of them. Yeah, I recall a game against Plane. What
6:44
was the date? What was the weather? So we can get it from
6:46
Randy. Sorry, yeah, exactly. Yeah, I just don't like it's
6:50
one of those teams. I know you would know the answer this, but
6:54
it's one of those teams where when I hear it, I didn't know they
6:56
were the Raiders. I don't have like an image of their colors in my
6:59
head. Red white, I don't know anything about Yeah. Yeah, I
7:01
mean in the past. I don't know what their logo is right now,
7:04
but they have used the Patriots logo in the past, the old guy hike
7:08
in the football Yeah, oh cool. And yeah, and they've had I
7:12
mean, they've had a bunch of different logos. But yeah, they're they're
7:15
like a dark blue with a red and a white. It's kind of what
7:17
they are. And it's hey, anybody headed down. It's really close to
7:20
Dick's drive in a Lake City way, So yeah, you can go over,
7:24
get yourself a couple of deluxes, a fry and they how about a
7:28
shake for the road. I mean, actually, the easiest way to get
7:30
back to the freeways to go right past Dicks. That's perfect. Yeah,
7:34
although, yeah, late at night you get kind of an interesting crowd over
7:38
there, so be careful. But yeah, Tyler Meridian, Nathan Hale,
7:42
I mean I would say, what do we expecting this one? But frankly,
7:45
we don't know what to expecting this one because we don't know much about
7:47
Nathan Hale. Yeah, I mean, you know, I know they're three
7:51
a school and they're down in Seattle, and they haven't won a game yet,
7:56
and so there's a lot of these question marks. I do know that
7:59
Murdy and you know there there they're two and one and the one get they
8:03
lost was by one point. I really like a lot of the things about
8:07
their team, you know, as I just the one two punch with Elmer
8:11
and Downey is is phenomenal. Uh. They can do so many things offensively,
8:16
running the ball, catching the ball. You know, they could put
8:18
them both in the backfield and split them both out wide there if they're the
8:22
perfect Meridian Trojans. I mean, these are the kind of guys that they
8:26
love to use in all these different spots. And then defensively, they're the
8:30
most positionlest defense in Walcom County. You've got guys going all over the place
8:35
and playing different positions and lining up different ways, and you know, you
8:37
got you know, you'll have guys that are five to five line up at
8:41
nose tackle and you'll have a six five, two ur and fifty pound outside
8:43
linebacker and it's just it's it's just it's unconventional, but it can create so
8:50
many you know, it makes a high school kid on the opponent's side think.
8:56
And when you can make an opponent think at the high school level,
8:58
you have the advantage, you know, if they're out of place for a
9:01
second or whatever. And Meridian's gonna run all those different formations and everything,
9:05
but it's really simple football. It's nuts and boats football if you sit and
9:07
watch them play. So so yeah, I'm expecting them, you know,
9:11
Merdy and Georgian's it's a short week, Like you said, they played on
9:15
Saturday. They have no time to prepare for Nathan Hale. But they're just
9:18
gonna go out and play their game and see how see how it goes.
9:22
I guess I should. I mean, I would assume this game is going
9:24
to be played at Nathan Hill High School, which is the Northeast Athletic Complex
9:31
and EAC. But every now and then this time of the year they do
9:35
a thing in the Seattle excuse me, in Memorial Stadium in Seattle, right
9:43
where they do a bunch of games. Yeah, Mardy and Nathan Hale any
9:48
AC. So it is at the NIAC. So that'll be actually at the
9:52
high school. So if anybody head it down, you can just google Nathan
9:54
Hale High School and take it right to it. Seating only on one side,
9:58
by the way, just for anybody that is going to the game.
10:01
So I wouldn't say you necessarily need to get there early. I've been to
10:05
a few games and not exactly a big crowd showing up. Let's just say
10:09
that a matter of fact, it's very possible that Meridian and could have as
10:13
mini fans as Nathan Hale if everybody goes down like Meridian seems to travel pretty
10:18
well. Yeah, but yeah, two and one Meridian headed down to take
10:20
on Nathan Hale. Oh and three, six pm on Friday, Hope Willum
10:24
one and two. The Grizzlies are coming to town to take on Nooksack Valley
10:28
two and one. This game is at Nooksack Valley six pm. Tyler.
10:31
They these two teams played last year. Do you remember the score of that
10:35
one? It was blow out fashion. I remember there were being a running
10:37
clock in the second half. Remember a lot of freshmen and C team guys
10:41
getting to play the fourth quarter for the Pioneers. Remember Matthew Blake breaking off
10:46
a long, like fifty yard catch, and he's kind of he was my
10:52
breakout player this year as a sophomore. He's get returning kicks and getting some
10:54
time at defensive back and stuff like that. So I remember, I don't
10:58
know the exact score, but it was something one of those those like fifty
11:03
six to twenty one or something like that eventually, but it wasn't that close.
11:07
It was one of those games where you know, Colton Lentz may have
11:11
had around two hundred yards rushing the first quarter and a half and then on
11:13
like eight carries and then he just didn't play the rest of the game and
11:16
it was on. You know, I love the film watching that old you
11:20
know, the field with the baseball stadium kind of part of it. That
11:22
was kind of cool to see. I remember Corey only had a huge game
11:26
like five catches for one hundred thirty five yards or something like that in a
11:30
couple of touchdowns. But this one at home. I felt bad for whoever
11:35
was going to play Nooksack Valley and this week because they're gonna have a little
11:39
frustration they're gonna take out on their next opponent, and this might be a
11:43
long day for how Quim. Yeah, and this is a game that you
11:46
will be at because it is a six pm start, and then you're gonna
11:48
leave a little bit early and we'll talk about the other game that you're going
11:52
to attend. But yeah, I hope we am coming to town take on
11:54
k Nooksack Valley six pm, said Lambert Field. Out there really close to
12:00
the Canadian border. You can actually smell Canada, you can't, Tyler Mount
12:03
Baker one and two headed down to what do we call it, north West
12:07
Seattle Edmonds or yeah, Westport Townsend to take on Kings three at zero and
12:15
this is a King's team that we now know is pretty stinking good. Seven
12:20
pm down there at Woolsey Stadium. Uh yeah, I mean I feel like
12:24
we talk about Kings maybe more than any team outside the county other than you
12:28
know, the teams that are in the in the Northwest Conference two way.
12:31
I mean, as far as as far as non conference goes, Kings is
12:35
seems like they're there as much as anybody. Yeah, it seems like them
12:39
Grant Falls are kind of two that we talk about a lot. And and
12:45
and yeah, Kings. You know they played last year. They played Blaine
12:48
in this spot in week four and they played you know, they played Nooksack
12:52
now last weekend. They played them last year. And yeah, I mean
12:56
it's just Mount Baker and Kings have played each other all a lot, you
13:00
know, since going back to the early nineties. I remember the first matchup
13:03
eighteen fourteen, uh down in Seattle. My brother was on that team,
13:07
and I remember during that week he was like, We're gonna go down to
13:09
Seattle and play a team. And I was like, you know, I
13:13
had no idea, like we you know, back when I was in I
13:16
was a freshman, I didn't know that much about you know, all these
13:18
teams outside of Walking County. And you know, I remember they played pretty
13:24
well, and they lost that game, but it was a close game.
13:26
And and they've played each other a lot since then that you know, Kings
13:30
in ninety seven was actually part of the North Cascades Conference for a year.
13:35
Wow, I think it was ninety seven and ninety eight, maybe just two
13:39
years. And so they played you know, everybody, and it was a
13:41
league game played Baker and else and looks like there is some there's some history
13:48
that way. Yeah, and uh, but this one's gonna be tough for
13:52
Baker, like like like like, like you said, Kings now we know
13:54
kind of what they can do Baker is they're trending up right now getting that
14:00
win, But did they trend up enough to face a team on the road
14:05
that the Knights have. Their quarterback is super dynamic, they have some receivers.
14:11
You know, they can run the ball a little bit too, but
14:13
they really like to throw quite a bit, and and you know they can
14:20
put up points. So this might be, uh, this might this one
14:22
might be a pretty high scoring game. But but Baker's defense played so well
14:26
last week, so that's what they're gonna have to rely on. Really gonna
14:30
have to do some big things in the secondary. I know, coach Horseman
14:33
will get those guys prep for this one. It's it's gonna be a good
14:35
one. Are you guys up for a talk of party that too? Yeah?
14:41
Mal Baker headed down to take on Kings seven pm at Wolsey Stadium.
14:46
Uh, let's see here. Lyndon two and one headed down to take on
14:50
seedro Wooly three and zero down there at Tom Mullen Memorial Stadium seven pm.
14:56
Tyler, this is kind of one of those big games of the week type
14:58
thing here because this game, I mean, at the end of the day,
15:03
this game could mean some seating. This game could end up meaning who
15:07
it is makes it into the state tournament. You know. So there's a
15:09
lot potentially on the line here. I mean, obviously we don't know at
15:13
this point what's going to be on the line, but down the road you
15:16
could look at it and go, Wow, that game right there, that
15:18
field goal right there, that touchs down right there, could have meant a
15:22
lot of things. But I mean when and when we talk about you know,
15:24
teams that have a lot of history with Walcom County, Seedure Wool He's
15:28
got as much as anybody. Yeah, this is this is a just a
15:31
huge matchup for both teams, and it's probably the one of the most meaningful
15:37
ones up to this point of the season because it is a conference game.
15:39
You know, if you talk to a lot of people in the area that
15:43
are familiar with to a football you know, knowing that there's only two spots
15:48
going to to berths at least, that's you know what I've what I've been
15:52
hearing. It seems like it's always it's hard to always nail it down.
15:56
But and the big the big three that everyone was talking about before the season
16:00
started was Lyndon, Sedro Wooly and Ana Cordis. And so when you start
16:04
to have those matchups against each other, those seem to be big games that
16:11
are must win games if you want to have a good chance of making the
16:14
playoffs. Now, obviously, like you said, you never know what's gonna
16:17
happen and things things down the road could unravel and it could go a different
16:21
way. But but this just looks like a huge, huge matchup. And
16:26
you know, in the I mean the way that the Seedro Woollie Cubs played
16:29
last week against Sea Home, I think it kind of opened up a lot
16:32
of eyes around this area. I think down there at Siedro. They were
16:34
like, yes, we already knew this. We are for real Lyndon is
16:40
you know after that tough game against Berndale, They've played fantastic the last two
16:44
weeks, only giving up six points total in the last two weeks and that
16:48
was like on the final play of the game. And win week two against
16:51
w F West against the reserves, so the defense is on point right now.
16:56
They know each other so well, it's just man, just this just
17:00
screams close game. Tyler's got some nuggets. Man, all right, Tyler,
17:04
I heard you got a nugget about this one. So Lynden Cedro Woolley,
17:08
what do you got for me? Well, Lyndon joined the old it
17:11
was called the Northwest League back in the eighties and ninety eight, even going
17:15
back further, but before there was the before the Northwest Conference and all that
17:19
stuff. And when Lyndon jumped up from basically from one A to two A
17:25
in the in the early nineties, they started playing Seedro every year they were
17:29
in the same league together. The first fifteen matchups, Linden won every single
17:33
one of those games. Wow, And I was shocked to see that,
17:38
you know, from you know, ninety three all the way up into the
17:41
the late two thousands, and then and then Seedro was they didn't they didn't
17:48
play each other for a little while, so for the and then they came
17:51
back and started playing them again. So the first fifteen matchups, Lindon has
17:56
won every single one. The sixteenth time they played was for the Stay championship.
18:00
And he was gonna say, I was going to ask you about when
18:03
what point did they play that state championship game, because I remember being there
18:07
that was I remember going into that game thinking the Cedro Woolen team has got
18:11
a shot, but Lynden's Linden. You know, now here we are talking
18:14
about basically the same thing right now, you know what I mean. It's
18:17
like, right, Cedro Wooley is you know, a team that right now
18:21
looks pretty dang good, and Linden is Linden, I mean, you know
18:25
what I mean. And then in that game, Lyndon was going for the
18:26
four peat. You know, yeah senior right, those seniors were, you
18:32
know, and they d Cedro earlier that year and and those those seniors were,
18:36
you know, could have been four time state champions. Cubs won that
18:41
one going away forty two to thirteen and then in fact that started Cedro winning
18:45
that matchup five out of eight going forward, so they kind of had that
18:51
edge a little bit. But Linden has won the last three. But the
18:53
last two games between the two have been one score games. And we're talking
18:57
about two state championship team here. Ye that that Siedro you know, lost
19:02
just by one score in both those games. So it's just it's crazy like
19:06
that. This matchup is a huge one. I'm I'm really excited to see
19:11
kind of how the chess match goes because this is two great, tough,
19:15
well coached teams. It's going to be fantastic. I remember last year when
19:18
Sedro Woolee got into the state tournament. I remember looking at or yeah it
19:23
was a state tournament because there was no Week ten, So I remember doing
19:27
the pick thems and I remember picking that game and thinking to myself, Cedro
19:32
Woolley hows a shot to beat tom Water. And I don't know if I
19:36
picked them in our pick them or excuse me, in the Cascadia PEP preps
19:41
pick them yea, and I might have, but I remember looking at it
19:45
going this game scares me because that Cedro wooly team. Man, they they
19:51
play up to their competition when when it's when it's go time, like they
19:53
are ready to go, you know. And they're very well coached. I
19:57
mean they just are. They're very very well coach. So this will be
20:00
a fun one. I mean, I'm excited to excited to talk to you
20:03
about that one on Sunday night when we do our recording there. But yeah,
20:08
Lyndon tuned one headed to Cedro Will to take on the Cubs three and
20:11
oh. That's seven pm on Friday. Also on Friday, seven pm.
20:15
Uh, I mean they're gonna drive right past the cedar Will to get here.
20:19
But Ferndale three and oh headed to Arlington. You know, Tyler,
20:22
it's actually pretty interesting how many games are actually in the county this week.
20:26
One, two, three, four? Is that it? Yeah? Those
20:32
are the four I'm going to Oh yeah it is, isn't it. Yeah?
20:36
But yeah, So Ferndale three and oh taking on Arlington also three and
20:41
oh. What is the name of that stadium? John Carlson Stadium or something
20:45
like that, or oh man' or no John Larson. I think it's John
20:52
Larson. That sounds John c Larson. Maybe I can't remember I've been there
20:56
for a couple of games. It's fun. It's it's really there. The
20:59
SA, the homes stands are really really big and they Yeah I went there
21:02
for a scrimmage. Oh yeah earlier this year. Yeah, over the summer.
21:07
Yeah, my first time there was really really cool. Yeah, and
21:08
the stadium is huge, huh, like it's it is. Yeah, it's
21:11
huge. It's one of those ones that like when you walk around the corner
21:14
and you look up, you're like, damn, Like it's actually big stadium.
21:18
And they do a really really good job there. It's loud. Usually
21:21
they have like a smoke thing when they come out of the tunnel, you
21:25
know, like it's they do a real good job there at Arlington. But
21:29
yeah, two teams, Tyler, they are both undefeated seven pm down there
21:33
in Arlington. I mean, this is I feel like these two have played
21:36
quite a bit, or you know, not quite a bit. Obviously they
21:38
have because they've been in the same conference, same division. But I feel
21:42
like these two have played some really good games recently. Yeah, you know,
21:47
ever since Ferndale jumped up to U to the West Coat three North,
21:52
they have played a lot of games against each other and they've been really good
21:55
games, and it's been that really good run versus pass mix, two different
21:59
complete the different styles. Last year's game was a classic. I was there
22:03
at Blaine High School and and that was when I got to witness that that
22:07
that land and hatchet forearm block running thing right in my face. That was
22:15
a sight to see in person. That was a heck of a game.
22:18
And this is, you know, two undefeated teams. You know, it's,
22:22
uh, it's so crazy because the West Coast three A north. You
22:26
know, when Ferndale and Squalikomb both joined at that at that at the time,
22:30
like in twenty sixteen, I believe it was, they were kind of
22:34
like they just joined and then they just took over like they were they they
22:37
were the two teams for a little while, and then every once in a
22:41
while, you know, o Harbor would jump up and be really good,
22:44
or Mary'sville Pilchuck would jump up and be really good, or or you know,
22:48
Stanwood now is is kind of taken that leap, and and Arlington is
22:52
always like right there. And they've and they have played some unbelievable games against
22:56
Ferndale the last last couple of years, and uh, yeah, and now
23:00
that they're both undefeated, I mean, this is this is gonna be another
23:04
This is a lot like you know, the Linden Segre Wooly game as far
23:08
as importance conference game. Uh, you know, road game for the Walking
23:14
County team. It's gonna be a huge, huge game in Ferdale's kind of
23:18
coming off that high, opening up the stadium and they just gotta keep that
23:21
momentum going. Yeah, Tyler, I'm just I was just kind of curious.
23:26
So I decided, you know what, I wonder what the population of
23:30
Arlington is. M Well, what's a guest you have? You've been to
23:34
Arlington? What's oh my goodness for popular? Popular? Oh man, I'm
23:40
not good at this stuff, you know me. I'm not a numbers guy,
23:42
so not at all. I would imagine that it's like Linden. But
23:49
see, I wouldn't even know how many people are in Linden, like thirty
23:52
five, thirty five thousand. Uh so Arlington has a total of about twenty
24:00
thousand. Oh okay, now let's see if I can do this really quickly.
24:03
On Wikipedia, Lynden has a population of about sixteen thousand. Okay,
24:11
so I mean relatively close. But yeah, my numbers are a little lost,
24:15
but I was comparing it to Linden. Yeah, I mean, you
24:18
know, Ryland's got some nuggets man. Also, there you go. Also,
24:22
since we're on the topic, Tyler's got some nuggets man. Oh he
24:25
does. And he's got one for Ferndale. Arlington, is what I'm being
24:26
told. So what do you got for me? Well, going way back,
24:30
okay, because they Arlington used to be in the Northwest League for two
24:33
way back in the day, and they work for quite a while. From
24:37
nineteen seventy eight to nineteen eighty two, Arlington beat Ferndale and all five of
24:42
those games, and the Golden Eagles were actually shut out in four of them
24:45
despite having a locker on the team each year, which is pretty crazy.
24:49
Oh, usually if you have a locker on the team, like they're scoring
24:52
points. But that that Arlington defense at back in those days was just lights
24:57
out. Two years later, nineteen eighty four, Ferndale be Arlington fifty three
25:03
to six. Get this, this is crazy stat. Golden Eagles gained three
25:07
hundred and eighteen yards on offense and ran twenty three plays. Damn that's it.
25:14
I know, that's an unbelievable stat. It is it is now,
25:18
this is now, this is something. Okay, this is this is a
25:19
little a little crazy here and that This is one of those where I'm going
25:22
to ask you the question. You just hold on, hold on. Tyler's
25:26
got some nuggets. Man, We got another one, Tyler, So go
25:27
ahead. What else do you go? Okay, how about this? Most
25:30
rushing attempts by a Ferndale player in a single game. You want to just
25:36
throw it out there, by a single player in Ferndale School history, most
25:41
rushing attempts in the game. You don't have to say the player, just
25:42
a number, oh a number. Most rushing attempts by a single player in
25:48
a game by a Ferndale I'll say forty three. Okay, really close,
25:51
thirty eight. They do like to share the sugar a little bit, you
25:55
know, get everybody involved. Except for that game, right, Well that
25:57
was Matthias Wilson. That's I was gonna guess, right, and it was
26:02
against Arlington in the nineteen ninety seven opener. Okay, how about this one.
26:07
It is a similar most rushing yards by a Ferndale player in a single
26:10
game. If you had a guess, same guy, yeah, and the
26:14
number will be three hundred and sixty one, who very close again three hundred
26:18
and seven in the same game. So he had thirty eight carries for three
26:23
hundred and seven yards and Arlington won thirty three to thirty. How crazy is
26:30
that? Wow? Now, what was the date on that one? So
26:33
we can get the weather from Randy. Maybe it was a muddy track,
26:36
you know, it would have been. We don't need that, We don't
26:40
need the weather, Randy. Okay, okay, although he did pull it
26:42
off and that was wild, like, yeah, yeah, it was the
26:45
first It was the first or Friday of nineteen ninety seven. You go get
26:49
it, Randy, Yeah, have at it, guy. Yeah, And
26:53
I guess that would be the first. One would be right around Labor Day,
26:56
right, because that's I mean, it's pretty much always been Labor Da
27:00
is the first week. It's probably it's probably the Friday after Labor Day.
27:03
Yeah, no, it would be before it. Well, but back then
27:07
they didn't start until a little later. Are you sure? I thought I
27:10
thought Labor Day was always the you know what, who the heck knows?
27:14
I mean, I'm sure you could probably look it up because well, yeah,
27:15
Tyler, that's do you have the date on that stuff? I do.
27:18
Yeah, okay, uh no, no, no, we don't care.
27:21
If we don't want it. Randy to have to do some work here.
27:23
The weather in Walcom County will will not halt for that. Yeah,
27:29
Tyler, that is wild. Matthias Wilson was unbelievable. Man, Oh he
27:33
was unreal. It was he was a different, different cat. I mean
27:37
it was something that WelCom County had not seen. It was crazy. Yeah,
27:41
I mean he was just September twelve, nine ninety seven. Back to
27:45
you, back to you. Thanks, thanks, thanks Tyler, thanks for
27:49
your reporting there. Anyway, Ferndale headed down to Arlington three at zero three
27:56
at zero seven pm in Arlington, golden goals and whatever is it? Just
28:02
Eagles Arlington, the Eagles, the Eagle Eagles. Yeah, yeah, hey,
28:04
you know what be golden. Also on Friday night, arch Bishop Murphy,
28:10
they are coming to Civic Stadium to take on Squalicum. Archbishop Murphy one
28:14
and two Squalicum two and one. This is the second game of the Northwest
28:18
Conference for both teams who are both oh and one in conference play. I'm
28:25
just gonna say this, you do not want to start conference playing that conference
28:27
at oh and two. That is for sure, because you are not looking
28:32
good. But yeah, Tyler, arch Bishop Murphy Squalicum, what are your
28:36
thoughts there? Well, Squalcum back at home now, it was a tough
28:40
one last week in a tough environment, and uh, they just you know,
28:45
they're just outplayed by by Lyndon and you know they have some injuries and
28:48
stuff like that. This is gonna be this will be a little easier for
28:53
them. Like I said, back at home, they're just gonna you know,
28:56
put those fast guys on that on that electric turf and just let them
29:00
run. Man. Squalm's got so much athleticism. But I think a really
29:06
big key for them are those edge guys. We seems like we've talked so
29:08
much about, you know, Jevinski schlim Baker and Bryson lamb as the two
29:14
edge guys that they've had. You know, they started together for three years.
29:17
Jevensky started for four years at outside linebacker. But you know, and
29:22
they've had some really good guys in the past and they kind of have like
29:25
Chase Nelson and Lockey faga Otto are really really good. They're both you know,
29:30
six four, they're both about two twenty, and uh, those guys
29:36
are just gonna you know, if they can just seal off that edge against
29:40
and keep everything inside, which Archbishop you know, we'll try to do.
29:44
Uh. You know, if they try to break when outside, that's when
29:47
they can make a big play. Maybe pop the ball loose. Chase Nelson's
29:48
already forced two fumbles on the year, and he's recovered one of them,
29:52
so he's looking to pop that ball out. I expect Squalkum's defense to just
29:57
to play you know, eight in the ball and just and just go after
30:00
it. They engage eight, you know what I'm saying, and I think,
30:04
and then it's just get get the offense going. You know, not
30:07
having to buy egging is a is a huge loss. You gotta find ways
30:11
to get different guys involved and just and just and just get some momentum going.
30:17
You know, it's a tough one last week. Get back on it
30:18
now and start, you know, get that wind Street going again. Mark
30:22
Bishop Murphy at Squalacum seven pm on Friday at Civic Stadium. The final game
30:27
on Friday, Sea Home is headed down to Burlington to take on Burlington Edison.
30:32
Sea Home two and one Burlington Edison one and two. That is a
30:37
seven pm game down there at Roland, kirkby Field, Tyler, Burlington,
30:41
Edison, Sea Home. What are your thoughts here? Oh? Well,
30:45
you know, I don't know that much about Burlington, especially after you know,
30:49
a new coach now, and I just know that they always seem to
30:55
play Walking County teams tough. It doesn't really matter usually what the record is.
31:00
And see home kind of came back down to life a little bit.
31:03
Last week. Things were rolling really really well. They had the longest win
31:07
streak in Walcom County, all those things. Everything was great and then boom,
31:11
you know, they get hit in the mouth thirty five nothing loss on
31:15
the road. Uh, they're gonna go back down to the familiar area that
31:18
they were just last weeks. Siegar, William, Burliance and Edison not that
31:21
far apart from each other, and you know, they just have to regroup,
31:26
fix the mistakes they had last week, get that run game going in.
31:30
You know, the running game was really good the week one and week
31:32
two. Everyone's looking at those dynamic pass receivers and the great quarterback, but
31:36
you got to get that run game going. And when they had that going
31:40
week one and week two, they scored a ton of points. It was
31:41
very even Steven all the way across Uh. They could not get the run
31:45
game going in Week three. You gotta get that going and then you gotta
31:48
be able to stop the run. And that's something that they've kind of had
31:51
trouble with in the past. You know, when when there's when there's teams
31:53
outside the Walcom County, I usually don't know any of the players. I
31:57
do know one kid for Linington, Hamza Abdullah Uh, and he is so
32:02
dynamic, so you gotta gotta gotta keep you know, gotta find a way
32:07
to contain him. I think if you can contain him, you can get
32:10
the win. Tyler Ham's Abdulah played for Washington State. Oh, what's his
32:17
name? Then I can't remember, but it's not Ham's Abdulah. What's the
32:22
kid's name, the little kid for Burlington's super Quick It's something. It's something
32:25
really close to Ham's Abdulah, but I can't remember. I sure, I'm
32:30
doing my research. And then I'm pretty sure their quarterback is pretty stinking good
32:34
too, if it's still the same kid. Ham's Abdulah I think played in
32:40
the NFL for Maybe he wasn't the Jets. No Vikings. I think it
32:45
was the Vikings. I can't remember, but yeah, I mean that's the
32:49
thing, Tyler. Burlington Edison is just one of those programs that it seems
32:52
like they never have like true bad years, you know what I mean,
32:54
Like even when they maybe have a losing record, they're still tough. You
32:59
know, it's still Burlington Edison is tough, and they do a great job
33:01
down there too. Their fans are loud and fun and having a good time,
33:06
and so yeah, that should be a good one down there. See
33:07
home two and one headed to Burlington Edison to take on the Tigers one and
33:10
two seven pm down there, actually on the campus at Burlington Edison High School.
33:16
So uh yeah, and you mentioned last week they went to Sedro Wooley.
33:21
I mean basically one more exit and it's about three hundred feet. It's
33:23
not even a whole lot further. But and actually, you know what,
33:25
if you're going to Cedro Wooley, you might even take to Burlington ed as
33:28
an exit because it might actually be the faster way to get to Cedro Woolley
33:31
High School. I mean you might not. You might not take the Cedro
33:36
exit because it actually puts you on the north side of town. Then you
33:37
got to get across anyway. But uh yeah, anyway, Saturday doubleheader,
33:43
a little doubleheader action, Tyler, but only one game within the county,
33:45
so you will beat Oh, and I guess I should mention that Coach Wood
33:49
will be down there for Coach's Corner. We'll talk about that Sea Home Burlington
33:52
Edison game. But absolutely, yeah, yeah, the first game on Saturday,
33:57
Tyler, you will be out there, Royal three and oh coming to
34:00
town to take on Lyndon Christian two and one. That is a two pm
34:02
game. What do they play like seventeen two pm games there at Lyndon Christian
34:07
this year or Saturday games, but yeah, two pm out there at Lyndon
34:12
Christian High School. Tyler. This is I don't want to say rematch because
34:15
I hate saying rematch. I think you and I have talked about this before.
34:17
How completely different teams. It's not a rematch, but it is because
34:22
the two teams are playing each other again and what is it the third time
34:24
in four years that they've played. So yeah, I mean, Tyler,
34:29
this is a I think highly anticipated one A match up here, oh big
34:34
time. I mean, this is one where when I heard you know,
34:37
over a year ago. I remember I was at a track me a year
34:40
and a half ago and coach Turpstra just got the job as the head football
34:46
coach, but he's also the track coach, and I congratulated, Hey,
34:50
congratulations getting the job, and and he was talking about being in talks with
34:54
scheduling Royal a home in a way, you know one there one year,
35:00
and I just and I said, well, which one's first, and he
35:02
goes, we're going I think we're gonna go there first. And I was
35:05
like, oh, because I wanted to see them in person. I wanted
35:07
to see them here and you know, a role team has never played up
35:10
here, and so I was so excited. So I've been looking forward to
35:14
this one for a year and a half. You know. Last year I
35:16
watched it live on our Royals broadcast and so so that was kind of exciting
35:24
because I was able to you know, they do such a good job with
35:27
that. I was able to actually live tweet the game sitting in the office
35:31
watching it. It was it was great and it was a great game obviously
35:36
well for Walcom County. Was a great game, but it was a lot.
35:37
It was very close. It was back and forth, really good defense,
35:42
big time plays, uh great, you know, you know, stuff
35:45
between the tackles, and you know, it was just it was really really
35:49
fun to watch and this one and then again and then I did get to
35:52
see him live, but the State championship game, so it was this one.
35:58
Is you're absolutely right. You know, both teams lost a lot of
36:02
talent from last year, and both teams bring back a lot of guys and
36:07
then there's a lot of new guys coming in and doing some good things.
36:09
So it's so hard to predict anything. Of course, we're gonna have our
36:15
pick thems later where we do actually make predictions. But you know, I
36:20
don't know, is Royal playing on natural grass? Is that gonna slow them
36:23
down? Is it? Is it? Is it about their line this year?
36:27
Is it this? Is it that? And Elsie's got a lot of
36:30
weapons. The run game is starting to to really come to form right now,
36:34
and but will it matter against Royal? And you know, so there's
36:37
so many things. I'm so excited to actually be there live and see this
36:42
one. I you know, I'm excited to hear the weather report from Randy
36:45
Small because I'm hoping it's some good weather and I definitely want to be down
36:50
at field level for this one. I think it's gonna be a fantastic game.
36:52
I would imagine that grass isn't gonna phase Royal because quite a few teams
36:59
on the eastern side of the States still have grass. Actually, I would
37:02
say maybe even most of them. As a matter of fact, I can't
37:07
remember if Zilla has natural grass still. I think they do, although they
37:14
built all kinds of new stuff there, so they maybe they got they got
37:16
turf now, but either way, they're used to playing on grass. They've
37:21
done it a lot over the years. But yeah, I mean, and
37:24
and you know what, Royals used to making some trips too, so this,
37:28
you know, it's nothing completely out of the ordinary, Tyler. You
37:31
know, if we were really good at what we do, which, as
37:34
I mentioned before, we're not. You know, this is where we would
37:37
have been smart and maybe gotten a hold of our guy Michael Nooftol and been
37:39
like, hey, why don't you come on and do a little Royal preview.
37:44
Yeah, here we are, and it's getting posted in a few hours,
37:46
so we're definitely not doing that. Well. He probably knows that it's
37:50
Hamza app Dolly that plays uh for Burlington. But yeah, but you know,
37:57
we're we're learning as we go. We're getting better every week. I
38:00
don't know about that, but yeah, Royal three and ol coming to town
38:05
to take on Linnen Christian two and one. Tyler, if if Royal had
38:09
a WWF Entrance song, what would it be? I'd probably be Rick Flair's
38:16
song Woo I mean fourteen tae you know, like I mean you could now,
38:23
Yeah, that wouldn't be a bad one because that's a very royal sound.
38:27
Or maybe pomp'm Circumstance, which Randy Savage had, you know, it's
38:30
very that wouldn't be a bad one. I'm thinking more like the Undertaker because
38:32
they're coming in and go lights out, you know what I mean? Like
38:36
that's true. Uh. And if they had a song, Tyler, just
38:38
any old song, I think it would be the Dune Dune, Dune,
38:43
Dune du Dun. It's like the Evil Empire, you know what I mean?
38:45
Yeah, that's the that's the yeah, the Empire March Darth Vader.
38:47
Yeah, yeah, that's if you're a Linden Christian, roll it out play.
38:52
They do wear the all. They were the black and yeah, yeah
38:54
they are scary. They're they're a scary bunch over there. Hey, if
38:59
you're a Linnen Christian fan, don't talk to anybody from Royal. You don't
39:00
want to do that. You know, when Elsie comes out of the tunnel,
39:04
they play Enter Salmon, Do they really? Yes, they do.
39:07
They play it. They'll play it like over the speakers, like the actual
39:10
song, and sometimes the band plays it. Interesting. Yeah, I mean
39:15
I guess in a way, you know, like you know, once you
39:20
hit the Sandman, like you're gonna be, you know, dreaming about Jesus
39:23
and stuff. So I mean, it's it's a He's gonna be a heck
39:27
of a game. I am. Like I said, I've been waiting for
39:30
this for a year and a half. This is and you know that the
39:32
guys that were played on the Royal team last year, are you know,
39:37
they're pretty eager for this one. I would imagine, Oh absolutely. And
39:40
there's probably like nine alreads on the roster, so they know what it means
39:44
to be a Lenen Christian team because they probably did it a few years ago.
39:47
Tyler. That is a two pm game, and there is a seven
39:51
pm game, and it's right down the street from my house. As a
39:53
matter of fact, at my old stopping grounds. I played a lot of
40:00
add football at one e To High School and Blaine's coming to town to take
40:02
on Cedar Park crick Blaine one and two Cedar Park Christian one and two seven
40:07
pm at Harold berg Field also known as Ryland Spencer Stadium at onet e To
40:15
High School. And so it's definitely not known as that day. No never,
40:22
maybe if I win the lottery, I can buy it, you know
40:23
what I mean. But yeah, Blaine Cedar Park Christian Tylt. Did these
40:28
two teams play last year? They did, you know what's funny? They
40:31
did, But they played in Week ten. It was a it was kind
40:35
of a last second, you know, match Week ten crossover and just kind
40:38
of get up tenth game in and Cedar Park came up to Blaine and they
40:43
got him. But uh but yeah, it was you know, it was
40:47
kind of close. But they did play last year. This was not a
40:50
Week four game for thee because this was King's huh this Cedar Park Christian was
40:54
supposed to play Baker in Week four last year and they backed out and Baker
40:59
was without a game in Week four. Yeah, and Blaine played Kings and
41:04
Blaine played Kings in Week four. So now that's a switcheroo and everybody's good
41:07
to go. Yeah, this makes it makes more sense to play for those
41:10
four teams of flipping around like they did. But uh yeah, I mean
41:14
Cedar Park Christian that I'm sure they've played quite a few games against Walcom County
41:17
teams over the years, right yeah, there. You know a lot of
41:21
times there was the you know about I want to say five years ago somewhere
41:24
in there. There was always like the crossovers, the one two three versus
41:29
the three two ones. They were always in that mix. It seems like
41:31
they played Blaine a lot and even in regular season games over the over the
41:36
years recently, I don't know one hundred percent if I'm sure if he's the
41:42
head coach or an assistant coach, but I believe the coach at Cedar Park
41:45
Christian is Kurt Roy, who was a graduate of Meridian High School. He
41:49
graduated ninety three. Played on that great team with Christopher Ames and Ty Harrison
41:52
and Bob Benham and and all those guys. Joey Simmons. That was an
41:57
unbelievable team that got to the Semis, lost a heartbreaker and time to Eatonville,
42:00
who then went on to win the state championship. And so there's a
42:05
there's a is a connection there. Uh it is Kurt Rely, the head
42:08
coach. Yes, yeah, okay, there you go. Yeah, so
42:12
that's that's a there's a Walking County connection with that. Yeah, there's there's
42:15
been a few here and there, but you know, Blaine, coming off
42:20
that big win, they've got to be on the highest of highs right now.
42:23
And then it's kind of nice after big win to kind of have a
42:27
bus ride too, because you kind of you kind of can still feel that
42:30
together and you get to you get to sit together for a few hours and
42:34
just and just you know, have that feeling of okay, let's let's let's
42:38
keep it going. Let's keep it going, and then you know, get
42:40
eager to play, get off the you know, off the bus and just
42:44
want to hit someone right away and hopefully they'll have that feeling and be able
42:46
to carry it on and and go win that game right down the road from
42:51
your house. Yeah, right right. Actually, I'm closer to one of
42:53
you the high school than Seter Park Christians. Uh not by not by a
42:57
whole lot, but it's but I'm definitely closer. Just looking over the roster
43:00
here, Tyler, I don't know if their quarterback. Actually I see two
43:05
quarterbacks on the roster, but if you're looking at number three as their quarterback,
43:09
you're looking at Gregory Roy, who I would assume is probably related.
43:15
Yeah, it could be. Kurt Roy was a was a great like he
43:17
started at He played tight end, he'd be a slot receiver. He was
43:22
the backup quarterback. I remember he came in for a game when the starting
43:25
quarterback got ejected playing defense. They called him for throwing a punch, even
43:30
though he didn't. They saw the film, so he got to play the
43:32
next week. It was a whole big thing. But Kurt Roy came in
43:37
and through beautiful touchdown passes through for like one hundred and fifty yards. He
43:40
may have punted. I mean, he did so many different things and that
43:45
on that team, and so I'm not I wouldn't be surprised if it's If
43:49
it's is his kid that is the quarterback, I'll tell you what, Tyler.
43:52
I'm also looking down the roster here and I see a Gabriel Stack.
43:59
Now that name may not mean a lot to people in Wacom County, but
44:04
it means a lot to the people that want to eat to high school because
44:07
Kurt Stack was the running back on the team that won a state championship in
44:13
the mid eighties and is arguably one of the greatest athletes ever come through want
44:16
to eat to high school? This is This is very Tyler Anderson mount Baker.
44:22
Here is what I'm doing here. But they've got some interesting names on
44:27
this team too, Tyler. They've got some really interesting names. I mean,
44:30
the one kid's name, his first name is Agasy. You gotta think
44:34
that kid's named after Andre Agassy, right, his first yeh man, and
44:38
his last name is Gabriellen, Gabriellen. They've got some cool names here,
44:45
like they have like an all named team to themselves. Nice. Yeah,
44:50
Christopher Fezer, Benjamin Henrickson, but it's spelled with a K, you know,
44:54
like like Heinriksen. Yeah. I'll tell you, I might have to
45:00
make my way over to this game here, Tyler, might have to do
45:02
it. I'm pretty sure I still have a lifetime passed to want to to
45:06
high school. Actually, I think the last time I was there, I
45:08
was kicked out, is what it was. They haded me a diploma and
45:12
said c later. Bum. Actually I was there to see Royal a couple
45:15
of years ago now that I'm thinking about it, so never mind. And
45:17
actually, you know what, I went there last year because I finally went
45:20
to a one E the game for the first time in like six years.
45:22
Wow. Yeah, they beat the Breaks off of Newport. I think it
45:27
was being pretty good Oney to three and oh, by the way, I
45:30
just want to bring that up. Yeah, Tyler, that's it. That's
45:34
ten games. Yeah, yeah, it's a lot to be crazy writing ten
45:39
games. You know, last week or last year, Week four was ten
45:43
games, but they had you know, Kings backed out, which was too
45:45
bad or not Kings, but Cedar Park Christian backed out against Baker, so
45:49
it was ended up only being nine games. Kind of saved my bacon a
45:52
little bit. Time wise. This is going to be a challenge to get
45:54
all ten games written up before U the end of Sunday night. So I'm
46:00
up for it. I'm excited. Bring on the football. Good thing is
46:02
you got a Thursday game. You will be at a couple of games,
46:06
so you can already kind of get your brain going a little bit about those
46:08
games. You know, the Royal Lenning Christian game. Yeah, I mean
46:13
it's gonna be fun week Tyler. And you want to know what makes for
46:16
fun weekend of football? What's that good weather? Yes, Wacom County wx
46:25
dot com is the website Randy Small with the weather forecast here, visit his
46:30
Facebook page Facebook dot com backslash watcom County weather or Randy what is the weather
46:36
forecast for this weekend? Oh? This is Randy Small, Wacom County Weather.
46:40
And we've been on repeat mode for well for the first three weeks and
46:45
for the most part of this cup coming weekend, it's going to be a
46:49
repeat. So I thought I'd come up with an acronym for the word nice
46:52
since we've had such nice weather the open the football season, and I'm gonna
46:58
use the word nice in order to say something different. So the n is
47:04
going to be no precept. This would include Thursday night and Friday night.
47:07
Now Saturday is a little more and that's the I iffy. Saturday will have
47:13
a chance of rain, although I think overall it's going to be dry,
47:15
but from Thursday night is going to be a beautiful night. Friday Night's going
47:19
to be a beautiful night. But Saturday is going to be cooler and a
47:23
little a little more iffy on the chance of rain wind. Maybe Saturday could
47:29
be an issue, but I don't think Thursday night or Friday night will be
47:30
issue. Chris Night is the sea, and I see Chris nights both Thursday
47:36
night and Friday night. By the time the game's over, it's probably going
47:38
to be the coldest nights of the year for football so far for the month
47:45
of September. And then e no matter what, enjoy the weather that we
47:50
have coming up, because no matter what, we got to play football.
47:52
Support your favorite team and hope it's a great weekend. N I see.
47:59
I love Yeah. The guy is a nut, Like he is an absolute
48:02
nut. I love it. The so funny Randy Small. Watcomb COUNTYWX dot
48:07
com is the website and again Facebook dot com backslash Watcomb County whether Tyler.
48:14
Let's get into the pickoms here and our guest picker is a guy that we
48:17
know, Jeff would I mean I could even talk about him. I mean
48:21
one of the few times that I other than maybe Jeff Bearden, where I
48:23
can just trash him. But Jeff Wood are our coach's corner. That guy,
48:30
Uh, you know what It is kind of interesting that he's gonna be
48:31
at the game giving us a report and he's picking a game. I mean
48:35
he's picking, he's picking the game. But yeah, so, uh,
48:39
you know what, Tyler, I guess I should Oh no, you know
48:43
what I haven't right here, I've already updated it. Uh, Tyler Anderson,
48:45
you are sixteen and nine on the season. Nate is seventeen and eight,
48:50
Connor, Benn and Tendy nineteen and six, myself with big old Beautiful
48:54
Beard and a Boston Bruins Beanie sixteen and nine. Jeff Wood is sixteen and
48:59
nine, but that's for the guests, and then Josef consensus seventeen and eight.
49:05
So you know, I still got some work to do here on my
49:07
end and your end. But at least we're moving it. We're trending in
49:10
the right direction, if they will, Tyler, right like, that's the
49:14
way it goes. But this week we are all picking Nooksack, Valley,
49:19
Kings, Squalicum, See Home, Royal, Meridian, and Blaine. Only
49:23
Jeff, for the guess, is picking Bellingham. The rest of us are
49:29
picking who are they playing? South? South? Wouldby u? Nate and
49:32
Connor are picking Linden, so at least they're allowed back in the city limits,
49:36
which is a good thing. They're picking Linden to be Cedro Wooley.
49:39
The rest of us are picking Sedro Woolly. Nate and myself we are picking
49:45
Arlington over Ferndale. The rest everybody else is picking Ferndale. I mean,
49:50
Tyler, this is this is a great weekend here. I mean if Lyndon
49:54
loses, which I'm not saying that they are not with you know what,
49:58
I should have learned my lesson by now not pick against them. But what
50:00
do I do? Pick against him? Shoot myself on that one. That's
50:06
you know, that's what's funny. When Nate sent me his picks, he
50:07
goes, I know, because he picked against Ferndale last week, against Glacier
50:13
Peak, Yeah, always picked against him this week and he goes, I
50:15
know, I should pick Ferndale. I'll learn my lesson one of these times
50:20
because he picked him, you know. So he's picked them now to go
50:22
one and three and they're looking, you know, four, no straight and
50:25
you know, so it's just it's one of those funny things there you go,
50:30
oh, why am I doing this? Well, I'm doing it,
50:31
you know. Yeah, well, I got a shot here too. I
50:34
got a shot here to pick up a couple of games. You got a
50:37
shot to pick up what three? No? Two? No? Well you
50:40
wouldn't be able to pick up two quoite it'd be interesting, But I gotta
50:45
I got a shot because I mean technically, I'm going against Connor is kind
50:47
of what I'm thinking here. I'm going against him on two games, whereas
50:52
you are picking all of the exact same as him except for the Lynden Cedro
50:54
Woolle games. So interesting weekend, hear, Tyler. That being said,
51:00
let's get to the fantasy draft here, and I'm not gonna say why it
51:06
is, but I'm gonna pick first. I think everybody knows what. I'm
51:10
one and two on the year, Tyler. So this is where the comeback
51:14
starts. I might as well let you win a little bit early and then
51:17
just take it to the shed. So that's what we're gonna start that this
51:21
week, Tyler. My first pick is gonna be Marcus Nixon at the quarterback
51:24
for Squalicum. I just think he's gonna have himself a big game. I
51:29
think this is the all right, Yeah, he's the guy. Here we
51:32
go. He might even throw for a touchdown this week, Tyler throw might
51:37
throw for two. I mean that I'm not I'm not making predictions. No,
51:39
and my luck he probably won't play. But uh yeah, Marcus Nixon
51:44
Squalicum, that's a you know, that's a good pick. And you know,
51:46
you know he can put up the numbers on the ground here he completed.
51:50
He did really well passing last week too, So you put all that
51:52
together and he could vote for some huge numbers. I am gonna go with
51:57
the Nooksack Valley defense. I think you know, a couple of weeks ago,
52:00
they had five interceptions, they had you know, the pick six and
52:07
that you know they did they had a kickoff return for a touchdown. I
52:08
was like, man, if someone would have picked him that week, it
52:10
could have gone it could have gone crazy. I see something like that happening
52:15
again. I could see John Stremmler just running through that line and blowing up
52:19
all these guys and then getting taking the ball away and scoring a touchdown and
52:22
and then just and then opening it up and eating the leather. And I
52:27
mean, these guys are angry, man. So I think the next NAC
52:30
Valley defense and h I'm gonna go. I'm gonna stay on the defense here.
52:34
I'm gonna go. Charlie Airs as a front seven player for Lyndon,
52:37
I think you know it's gonna be a close game. But man, watching
52:42
Seedra Wooly run between the tackles on like eighty percent of their plays, I
52:46
just think that Charlie Airs is going to see a lot of action and he's
52:51
really really physical, he reads things fast, and he's a sure tackler.
52:54
I think he's gonna put up some big numbers. Yeah, that could be
52:58
one of those ice pack games, you know what I mean, Like a
53:00
couple of ice packs on the old joints on the way home. That game's
53:04
incid. Yeah, that could be one of those games where he's he might
53:07
just need to sit in a freezer on the way home, just you know,
53:10
And I mean if anybody's up for the task. We know that the
53:14
Lynden middle linebackers are always absolutely yes, and they're not coached by witmen right
53:21
like they just he just calls the plays. He does coach the inside linebackers
53:24
as well. That is one of his position groups. Damn well, all
53:31
right, let's see here, I picked a quarterback. You picked defense,
53:35
and you picked front seven. So I'm gonna go with you know what,
53:40
I'm gonna go with Blaine's offensive line here because I got a feeling they're gonna
53:45
do some real damage offensively with Cedar Park Christian and you know what, I'll
53:52
double up on the points there. And I think I'm gonna take you you
53:54
took him last week. I think I'm gonna take Riley eyed Out a receiver,
53:58
oh man. And that's a good pick because he'll, you know,
54:01
he'll line up at quarterback every once in a while and do some things you
54:05
get those points as well. Uh, finding ways to get him the balls
54:07
always ideal. And uh, that's a that's a really really good pick.
54:13
I am gonna go. I'm gonna go with Jorgan Boom Boom Vigory as my
54:20
kicker. I think that you know, he tied a school record a couple
54:23
of weeks ago with nine extra points. He might be able to tie that
54:27
again. You know, we've had three different players this year already kickers that
54:31
have tied their school record with extra points in a game. Three. Yeah,
54:39
Vigory did it a couple of weeks ago, and last week two guys
54:44
did. Jacob Penner did it with Lyndon Christian first ever time kicking of football
54:47
in the varsity game. He ties a school record with eight. And then
54:51
Matthew Hayes did it last week against Friday Harper for Blaine with seven. Wow.
54:55
These are all tied school records. Unbelievable. Anyways, Wait Friday Harbor.
55:02
Oh that's right. Yeah, I thought you were talking about last week.
55:06
I was like, they didn't play Friday Harbor last week or not?
55:07
Briddy Harbor bashed on island. You know, boats are involved. Yeah,
55:12
but Friday Harbor was Was that the week before for them? No? No,
55:15
no, they didn't. They played Port Angelist That's why. Yeah,
55:21
but I met I get bashed on and Friday Harbor mixed up all the time.
55:23
Yeah. I mean they're so close to each other. Anyway, go
55:25
ahead. Uh And then I you know, I look at what Braddock Duckworth
55:30
has done on defense, and he's always just all over, you know,
55:36
making plays and doing different things coming off the edge. And I'm going to
55:39
use my back seven spot on him. So I got taking a couple of
55:43
linebackers here, and I think that he's a guy that can do a lot
55:47
of things. He can drop back in coverage, you can come after the
55:50
quarterback. He can make a lot of tackles. He's just a big,
55:52
strong kid man. That uh might be the first time Duckworth has been taken
55:58
on defense. Huh it could be. Yeah, may have been a last
56:02
year, first time this year. Yes, yeah, all right, So
56:07
let's see what do we have left here. We've got running back, that's
56:10
it, huh. I believe so just running back is the only position that
56:15
has not been picked. And I'm gonna go with big game joshton Elmer at
56:20
running back. I feel like he's got a big game ahead of him here.
56:24
And then I'm gonna go, you know what, I'm gonna stick with
56:27
the Blaine train. And by the way, I did not do that on
56:30
purpose, but Blaine train, Yeah, that just kind of happened. And
56:37
I'm gonna go with Blaine's defense. Is when I'm picking nice yeah, I
56:43
mean, coming off you know, a shutout last week, they had to
56:45
pick six last week. They've got some really good return guys, so you
56:50
could It's one of those games where you know, you look at a defense
56:53
and you look at a matchup and you go, whoa I could get like
56:55
thirty points on this and just just be happy. You know, that's very,
57:00
very possible with all the positions picked. Now, I'm gonna look at
57:04
some skill guys here and go Landon Downey at running back. You took Elmer's
57:10
a running back. I'm gonna take his running mate, Landon Downey. I
57:14
just think that he had such a huge game last week, and he's you
57:19
know, they're gonna try to find ways to get him the ball even more.
57:21
They like to split him out wide, give him the ball, all
57:24
sorts of things. So I'm gonna take Lannon Downey at running back. You
57:29
took him last week as a kicker and receiver wise, I know you took
57:36
him earlier in the year, I believe week two, and I think you
57:43
know I may have taken him in week one. Yeah, I'm gonna take
57:45
him again. Andre Watson wide receiver see home. I think that you know,
57:51
he's just he's one of those guys that just always puts up numbers.
57:53
Last week was not the best week. It was a rough week for all
57:58
the Mariners, but he still led them in catches, still leads Walcom County
58:01
and receiving yards, and I think he's gonna have a huge bounce back week
58:05
this week. And you know what, if he does have that bounce back
58:08
week, they're gonna score some touchdowns. True. If they score some touchdowns,
58:14
that means Grady Evans is gonna be kicking some extra points. That's very
58:16
true too. Now, let's really hope that Andre Watson gets tackled at the
58:21
four if they go a little three and out inside the five and then they
58:24
have to kick a field goal, because I'm picking a few more points there.
58:28
Yeah, I'm just I mean, I would like to see them kick
58:32
about fourteen field goals is what I would like. What's the record? I
58:37
want him to kick ten more than the record, That's what I want.
58:38
Yeah. Yeah, three is the record in Walcome County. And it's crazy
58:43
is that two of the guys that did it both did it in one quarter?
58:46
Wow? Is it crazy? Three field goals in a game is a
58:51
lot in high school, but three field goals in one quarter is ridiculous.
58:54
Yeah. Clint Bossman against Elma. He played for Lenny Christian early two thousands,
59:00
and he did it in the first quarter and then in the second quarter.
59:04
Kyle sent Kowski for Blaine did it against Lyndon at Lyndon. Yeah,
59:09
pretty crazy. I was at a game on Saturday Tyler that ended nine to
59:13
six, but it also had a touchdown with a miss extra point. Let's
59:20
see here. I also need front seven and back seven, so I'm gonna
59:25
go with U. I'm gonna go with DeAndre Dunmore in the front seven is
59:30
what I'm going to do. There. I think I think he's up for
59:32
a bit, you know what I'm going like? Oh, no, I
59:35
guess I have picked a meridian and a sea home and there I was about
59:37
to say, I'm picking a lot of squally, coming a lot of blame.
59:42
Put put my all all my eggs in two baskets there. Well,
59:46
I mean that's a good pick because again, it's the style that you're going
59:50
against right and Archbishop, because it's gonna you know, run between the tackles
59:53
a bunch and he he can break up a wing tea deep weak tea offense
59:59
like Noah. So it's a really good pick. And all I have left
1:00:05
is quarterback an offensive line, So I'm gonna go offensive line. I'm gonna
1:00:09
take Nooksack Valley's offensive line and I'm just gonna keep with that. There,
1:00:14
there are they are not happy, you know, and they're gonna go out
1:00:17
and just and just demolish guys and put up points and and uh yeah,
1:00:23
so I just I think that's gonna be a big, big scoring play for
1:00:28
me. Really glad you took him last week, but uh so they were
1:00:34
open for me to take this week. And then quarterback wise, I'm I
1:00:37
think I'm gonna connect with that Andre Watson deal and go with Nolan right.
1:00:42
So, uh you know, they've Nolan right so far this year is thrown
1:00:45
for ten touchdowns, uh to lead Walking County. Andre Watson has caught four
1:00:50
touchdowns from them. So I just think they have a they have something special
1:00:53
going on, and I really hope it's even more special this Friday night out
1:00:58
at Burlington. All Right, I'm gonna wrap it up, Tyler picking in
1:01:01
the back seven here, I'm gonna pick somebody you already picked, and it's
1:01:06
somebody that I picked last week. But I picked him on defense and now
1:01:08
I get to pick him or excuse me, I picked him as a kicker.
1:01:13
Now I get to pick him on defense, and you took him on
1:01:15
offense, and that is going to be landing downey nice. Yeah, So
1:01:20
this guy is just getting I mean, between him and like Braddick Duckworth and
1:01:25
Andre Watson, we're just picking the same guys. And Josh and Elmer.
1:01:30
Yeah, Elmer has been picked a lot on both sides of the ball as
1:01:32
well. And Downey is you know, quietly he's leading walking County and tackles.
1:01:37
I mean, he's a he's a heck of a pick, and he
1:01:39
could do so many different things from so many different spots on the field,
1:01:44
and that's a that's a really good pick as well. And really, I
1:01:49
guess I'm kind of expecting Nathan Hale to run the ball a lot because that's
1:01:52
kind of what they've done in the past. And so I'm hoping that Land
1:01:54
and Downey's just out there flying around knocking hats, you know what i mean.
1:01:59
And I'm honestly, I'm kind of hoping that this is going to be
1:02:01
Maybe not hoping, but I'm thinking this game could be fairly even matched,
1:02:07
even though I think Meridian's gonna win. I think it could be fairly even
1:02:12
matched because Nathan Hale is at three A school, and you know, you
1:02:15
typically don't take a one A and go play a three A and just run
1:02:17
them out of the building. You know what I mean. It just doesn't
1:02:21
usually happen like that. But Tyler, that's it. We've got let's I
1:02:24
guess run it down here real quick. We'll just go right down the list.
1:02:28
I took Marcus Nixon at quarterback. You took k Nooksack Valley's defense.
1:02:31
You took Charlie Ayers in the front seven. I guess we didn't remind everybody
1:02:36
if they're listening for the first time. Front seven is d line linebackers.
1:02:38
Back seven would be linebackers and defensive backs. I followed that by taking Blaine's
1:02:45
offensive line and Riley Eyed from Blaine at wide receiver. You took all Boom
1:02:50
Boom Vigory at kicker for Nooksack Valley, and you took Braddock Duckworth in the
1:02:54
back seven at a sea home. I took Josh and Elmert running back for
1:03:00
Meridian and Blaine's defense. I was all in on Blaine. I'm all in
1:03:04
on him this week. I guess I might have to go to the game
1:03:07
Landon Downey at running back. Tyler, you took him from Meridian, and
1:03:10
you took Andre Watson at receiver. I took Grady Evans at kicker and DeAndre
1:03:15
Dunmore in the front seven. And then you took Nooksack Valley's offensive line and
1:03:20
Nolan right at quarterback, and I took Landon Downey in the back seven.
1:03:23
Tyler, the only thing left is the code word. And that code word
1:03:29
we all usually, I mean, I feel like we at least try to
1:03:32
go with one code word that is associated to the person that is doing the
1:03:36
pick them and so. And sometimes I feel like we always try to do
1:03:40
two words. One of them is guaranteed to be for the person from the
1:03:45
pick them. The other one could be something crazy like Matt Noakes. You
1:03:47
just never know what I'm gonna throw out there. I mean, I could
1:03:51
throw out another random name if we would like. How about Henry Cotto.
1:03:54
I mean, you know, but someone comes up and says Henry Avocado.
1:04:00
Yes, if they do, Tyler will give you two stickers and an avocado.
1:04:04
Code words this week, though, Tyler, our guy Jeff Wood out
1:04:08
there loves himself some Washington Grizzly Stadium out there where the old Montana Grizzlies play.
1:04:14
So if you walk up to Tyler, do you say go grizz You
1:04:16
can get yourself a free Wacom prep sticker, or you could walk up and
1:04:21
say it Decca d E c A, which is a like a future business
1:04:27
leaders type thing, Like it's a club in the school which Coach Wood does
1:04:31
his teaching at Sea Home and he's a business marketing guy and he's got the
1:04:38
the old Decca club there. So if you walk up and say, go
1:04:41
grizz or Decca to Tyler. And by the way, he's gonna be at
1:04:45
like fifteen games this weekend. Tyler's going to be out at South Wouldby and
1:04:47
Bellingham on Thursday, Hopwiam Nooksack Valley For what do you say the first half
1:04:53
of that game Tyler on Friday, I'm yeah, at least, you know,
1:04:58
if it's if it run, it's possible that if they start really putting
1:05:01
it to him, I might stick around. If the say, if I
1:05:03
think the second half of might go really fast, because if I can get
1:05:06
full stats at a game done on Friday night before I get home, that's
1:05:11
a huge bonus for me. Yeah, that is a huge And then I
1:05:14
would and then I would head out to sync Yeah, yeah, Pacific Stadium
1:05:17
where Archbishop Murphy's gonna take on Squalicum and then Tyler, you're gonna wrap up
1:05:21
your weekend with Royal at Lynn and Christians, So any of those four games.
1:05:26
You know what you need to do, Tyler, you said at one
1:05:28
point you're gonna give Coach Woods some what do you call it, like a
1:05:32
media badge? Right, Yeah, I'm I'm gonna bring it to him.
1:05:35
I got it. I'm gonna go to the Sea Home Bellingham volleyball game this
1:05:41
week and he runs the lines with the flag he's a flag boy, yeah,
1:05:45
And so I'm gonna go and to him so he will have his press
1:05:49
bass. You know what you need to do. You need to drop him
1:05:51
off from stickers. And if anybody happens there running the coach would and they
1:05:56
say go Grizz or Decca, they could get themselves some stickers. Right,
1:06:00
He's probably gonna say go Grizz to himself. I say, does that already?
1:06:03
So somebody walked up and said, he'll be all decked out with stickers.
1:06:06
Yeah, they walk up and say go Grizz. They might get a
1:06:09
kiss on the cheek. The guy loves his Grizzlies, that's for sure.
1:06:13
I like the grizz too. I mean, I'm not a I'm a Big
1:06:15
Sky fan, so I like a lot about the Big Sky and the Grizzs
1:06:18
are always good and I got a lot of family in Montana. It's pretty
1:06:20
much split between the Cats and that's right, Cats and the grizz out there.
1:06:26
The what is it? Is it the Brawl of the Wild? I
1:06:28
think is the game when they play each other, and boy to those two
1:06:30
schools get amped up for that one. I mean, my goodness, they
1:06:33
do not like each other, not at all. I mean it's it's very
1:06:39
Linden versus everybody, you know what I mean, Like they don't they don't
1:06:42
like, they do not like each other. H Tyler, we got anything
1:06:46
else to say, We're gonna wrap it up. Let's wrap it up,
1:06:48
